Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engine technology, and in particular to a method for selecting an engine crankshaft vibration damper and an engine crankshaft vibration damper. Background Technology

[0002] During operation, the crankshaft of a diesel engine is subjected to torques that change periodically in magnitude and direction. When the shaft dampers are not properly matched, it will cause increased engine vibration, accelerated wear of transmission system parts, and even shaft breakage. Moreover, as the strength of diesel engines continues to increase, the impact loads on the shaft system are becoming increasingly greater, making the matching and evaluation of dampers particularly important.

[0003] Existing technology first determines the performance parameters of the spring damper through simulation calculation, and then adjusts the structural parameters of the damper (such as the number of spring assemblies, the diameter of the spring, etc.) to achieve the performance requirements.

[0004] Because there is no clear quantitative correlation between structural parameters and the main parameters of the diesel engine, there is a lack of corresponding reference when adjusting structural parameters, and adjustments can only be made based on repeated trials based on experience. This is both time-consuming and costly, and it is impossible to accurately determine the parameters through quantitative calculations. This can easily lead to insufficient matching between the vibration damper and the diesel engine, thereby affecting the vibration suppression effect of the crankshaft system and reducing the reliability of the shaft system operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an engine crankshaft vibration damper that can achieve precise matching between the vibration damper and the engine, thereby improving the reliability of engine operation.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an engine crankshaft vibration damper, comprising a vibration damper seat, a spring assembly, and a vibration damper body. The vibration damper body is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the vibration damper seat. The outer peripheral surface of the vibration damper seat is provided with vibration damper seat grooves at intervals in an annular manner. The inner surface of the vibration damper body is provided with vibration damper body grooves at intervals in an annular manner. The vibration damper seat grooves and the vibration damper body grooves correspond one-to-one. The vibration damper seat grooves and the vibration damper body grooves together form a receiving cavity for accommodating the spring assembly. The spring assembly is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, the spring assembly includes a spring pin and a spring, the spring being a ring structure with an opening, through which the spring pin is inserted into the spring.

[0008] Furthermore, the spring is interference-fitted with both the damper seat and the damper body, while the spring is clearance-fitted with the spring pin.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the groove of the shock absorber seat is provided with a spring pin insertion groove, and the spring pin is inserted into the spring pin insertion groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the engine crankshaft damper also includes a first cover plate, which is disposed on one side of the damper seat and is fixedly connected to the damper seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the engine crankshaft damper also includes a second cover plate, which is disposed on the other side of the damper seat and is fixedly connected to the damper seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the engine includes a housing, on which a crankshaft and cylinders are mounted, and an engine crankshaft damper is mounted on the crankshaft.

[0013] Based on the same inventive concept, the second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for selecting engine crankshaft vibration dampers. The engine crankshaft vibration dampers selected using the method of the present invention can achieve precise matching between the vibration damper and the engine, thereby improving the reliability of engine operation.

[0014] The engine crankshaft damper selection method described above is used to select the engine crankshaft damper as described above;

[0015] S1. Determine the parameters of the engine crankshaft damper: the number of the spring assemblies is denoted as n, the diameter of the spring is denoted as D1, the thickness of the spring is denoted as d, the pitch circle diameter of all the spring assemblies is denoted as D2, and the outer diameter of the engine crankshaft damper is denoted as D3.

[0016] S2. Determine the parameters of the engine: the number of cylinders is denoted as m, the diameter of the cylinder is denoted as D4, the stroke of the engine is denoted as S, the maximum burst pressure of the engine is denoted as P, and the diameter of the crankshaft crank pin is denoted as D5.

[0017] S3. Select the engine crankshaft vibration damper using the following formula: n = (1.6~2.1) * P * D4 * m / D5 / S;

[0018] d = (0.45~0.5)D1;

[0019] D1 = (0.4~0.5)D4;

[0020] D2 = (2~2.2)D4;

[0021] D3 = D2 + (1.5~1.8)D1;

[0022] Finally, the engine crankshaft damper that is matched with the engine was selected.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S3, n = 1.8 * P * D4 * m / D5 / S;

[0024] d=0.47D1;

[0025] D1 = 0.45D4;

[0026] D2 = 2.1D4;

[0027] D3 = D2 + 1.7D1.

[0028] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that the engine crankshaft vibration damper includes a vibration damper seat, a spring assembly, and a vibration damper body. The vibration damper body is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the vibration damper seat. The outer peripheral surface of the vibration damper seat is provided with vibration damper seat grooves at intervals in an annular manner. The inner surface of the vibration damper body is provided with vibration damper body grooves at intervals in an annular manner. The vibration damper seat grooves and the vibration damper body grooves correspond one-to-one. The vibration damper seat grooves and the vibration damper body grooves together form a receiving cavity for accommodating the spring assembly. The spring assembly is disposed in the receiving cavity. The number of spring assemblies is denoted as n, the diameter of the spring is denoted as diameter D1, the thickness of the spring is denoted as d, the pitch circle diameter of all spring assemblies is denoted as D2, and the outer diameter of the engine crankshaft damper is denoted as D3; the number of cylinders is denoted as m, the cylinder diameter is denoted as D4, the engine stroke is denoted as S, the maximum burst pressure of the engine is denoted as P, and the diameter of the crankshaft crankpin is denoted as D5; the engine crankshaft damper is selected using the following formulas: n = (1.6~2.1)*P*D4*m / D5 / S; d = (0.45~0.5)D1; D1 = (0.4~0.5)D4; D2 = (2~2.2)D4; D3 = D2 + (1.5~1.8)D1; finally, an engine crankshaft damper that is precisely matched to the engine is selected to improve the reliability of engine operation.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] This embodiment discloses a method for selecting an engine crankshaft vibration damper. Using this method, an engine crankshaft vibration damper that is precisely matched to the engine in Embodiment 1 is selected.

[0048] Specifically, S1, determine the parameters of the engine crankshaft damper: the number of spring assemblies is denoted as n, the diameter of spring 5 is denoted as diameter D1, the thickness of spring 5 is denoted as d, the pitch circle diameter of all spring assemblies is denoted as D2, and the outer diameter of the engine crankshaft damper is denoted as D3.

[0053] D2 = (2~2.2)D4;

[0054] D3 = D2 + (1.5~1.8)D1;
