[0002] In the field of sub-models such as refrigerated trucks, double air-conditioning engines have a huge market demand because they can meet the high-strength refrigeration demand, and the annual demand for installed capacity exceeds 10,000 units. Such engines usually arrange air-conditioning compressors on the intake side and the exhaust side, transmit power through elastic multi-wedge belts and crankshaft pulleys, and use idler assemblies to replace traditional tensioner systems to achieve the design goals of compact structure, controllable cost and reliable operation.
[0003] However, the existing idler assembly of the double air-conditioning engine faces many technical problems. On the one hand, the space on the engine exhaust side is already compact, and after the assembly of most parts such as the water pump inlet pipe and the hose joint is completed, the installation space left for the idler assembly is further compressed, which causes the shaft body of the idler assembly to easily interfere with and collide with the surrounding parts during assembly, affecting the assembly efficiency and product quality. On the other hand, the elastic multi-wedge belt for adapting to the double air-conditioning system is shorter in length and has a larger initial installation tension, and the idler assembly is strengthened in diameter and shaft diameter to match the tension, which increases the size and further increases the installation difficulty. At the same time, the double air-conditioning installation station is located before the line-off of the assembly line, and the engine is placed on an iron tray or a wooden tray that lacks positioning points, so that the traditional tooling cannot be arranged, and there is no suitable installation tool in the existing assembly process.

The quick-release pin structure allows for disassembly and transport; the maximum size of a single component is ≤500mm, making it suitable for after-sales maintenance. Meanwhile, the lightweight rod design and rigid frame balance ease of operation and durability, achieving the comprehensive benefit of "one tooling for multiple uses." Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0038] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.
[0039] Now refer to Figures 1-7 The following is a description of a specific embodiment of the present invention: An idler wheel assembly assembly tooling adapted to a dual-air conditioning engine includes a support arm unit 1, a support base 2, and a support frame 3. One end of the support arm unit 1 is connected to the support base 2, and the other end of the support arm unit 1 is connected to the support frame 3. A movable block 4 is provided inside the support frame 3, and an arc-shaped support plate 401 adapted to the idler wheel is provided on the side of the movable block 4 corresponding to the engine. An adjusting bolt 5 is rotatably provided on the top of the support frame 3, and a bolt through hole 402 adapted to the adjusting bolt 5 is opened on the top of the movable block 4. The adjusting bolt 5 extends into the support frame 3 and is screwed into the bolt through hole 402. By rotating the adjusting bolt 5, the movable block 4 can move up and down along the length direction of the support frame 3 on the adjusting bolt 5. A connecting rod 6 is connected to the side of the support base 2 corresponding to the engine, and a connecting seat 7 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 6 away from the support base 2. A bracket 8 is connected to the connecting seat 7, and the bracket 8 is detachably connected to the engine cylinder block by bolts.
[0040] The bracket 8 is detachably connected to the engine block with bolts, directly using the cylinder block as a stable positioning reference, thus avoiding the problem of no positioning point for iron / wooden pallets. When the adjusting bolt 5 is rotated, it forms a helical transmission with the bolt through hole 402 of the moving block 4, converting the rotational motion into linear motion of the moving block 4 along the length of the support frame 3, so that the arc-shaped pallet 401 accurately lifts the idler wheel to dock with the assembly station. The connecting rod 6 and the connecting seat 7 form a rigid transmission path, transmitting the supporting force of the support arm unit 1 to the bracket 8, ensuring that the tooling does not shake during the lifting process.
[0041] This tooling, through the above design, can specifically address the core pain points of the lack of positioning points on the exhaust side of dual-air conditioning engines and the compact installation space. It does not rely on external positioning structures, and can achieve stable lifting and precise positioning of the idler wheel. Compared with traditional pry bar installation, it significantly reduces the intensity of manual operation and avoids component interference and collisions.
[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The support arm unit 1 includes an upper inclined arm 101 and a lower inclined arm 102, which are distributed vertically. The upper end of the upper inclined arm 101 is connected to the upper part of the support frame 3, and the lower end of the upper inclined arm 101 is connected to the upper part of the support seat 2. The lower end of the lower inclined arm 102 is connected to the lower part of the support frame 3, and the upper end of the lower inclined arm 102 is connected to the lower part of the support seat 2. The upper inclined arm 101, the lower inclined arm 102, the support seat 2, and the support frame 3 can form a triangular structure.
[0043] The upper inclined arm 101 and the lower inclined arm 102 of the support arm unit 1 are symmetrically distributed vertically. The upper inclined arm 101 is fixed to the upper part of the support frame 3 at its high position and inserted into the upper part of the support seat 2 at its low position. The lower inclined arm 102 is fixed to the lower part of the support frame 3 at its low position and inserted into the adjustment groove 201 of the support seat 2 at its high position, forming a closed triangular force-bearing structure. The bending moment generated by the 300mm span of the tooling is dispersed by utilizing the non-deformable properties of the triangle.
[0044] The above design of this fixture can improve the support rigidity and stability while ensuring the overall structure is lightweight, avoid fixture deformation or shaking when raising the multi-wedge belt with 810N tension, and ensure that the idler wheel assembly accuracy is controlled within ±0.5mm.
[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and 3 The support frame 3 is a U-shaped frame with an opening facing downwards, including a crossbeam 301, a longitudinal beam A302 and a longitudinal beam B303. The two ends of the crossbeam 301 are perpendicularly connected to the longitudinal beams A302 and B303 respectively. The crossbeam 301 is rotatably connected to the adjusting bolt 5. The upper and lower parts of the longitudinal beam A302 are fixedly connected to the high end of the upper inclined arm 101 and the low end of the lower inclined arm 102 respectively.
[0046] The support frame 3 adopts a U-shaped design with the opening facing downwards. The two ends of the crossbeam 301 are vertically welded to the longitudinal beams A302 and B303 respectively to form a rigid frame. The center of the crossbeam 301 has a threaded hole that rotates with the adjusting bolt 5 to provide a stable support point for the adjusting bolt 5. The upper and lower ends of the longitudinal beam A302 are welded to the high end of the upper inclined arm 101 and the low end of the lower inclined arm 102 respectively to achieve uniform force transmission.
[0047] This fixture, through the above design, has a compact and rigid structure, occupies less space than traditional brackets, and is perfectly suited to the compact installation environment on the exhaust side of the engine; it provides a precise guide track for the moving block 4, avoiding deviation during the lifting process, and solves the defect of existing technologies that can only fix parts and cannot assist in assembly.
[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and 4 The movable block 4 has connecting grooves 403 at both ends that are adapted to the longitudinal beams A302 and B303, respectively. The movable block 4 slides with the longitudinal beams A302 and B303 through the connecting grooves 403 at both ends.
[0049] The connecting grooves 403 at both ends of the movable block 4 adopt a rectangular groove structure, which forms a clearance fit with the rectangular sections of the longitudinal beams A302 and B303, restricting the lateral displacement of the movable block 4 and allowing it to slide up and down only along the length of the longitudinal beams; the inner wall of the groove is polished to reduce sliding friction resistance.
[0050] Compared to sliding structures not addressed in existing technologies, this fixture, through the above design, can increase the sliding contact area, distribute the force more evenly, completely avoid the problem of moving block 4 getting stuck, ensure that the idler wheel lifting process is smooth and without shaking, and prevent damage to the multi-wedge belt or assembly deviation caused by jamming.
[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The top of the movable block 4 has a semi-circular through hole 404 with the same center as the arc-shaped support plate 401. The bolt through hole 402 is located on the side of the semi-circular through hole 404 near the longitudinal beam A302, and the width of the arc-shaped support plate 401 is smaller than the width of the idler wheel.
[0052] The semicircular diameter of the arc-shaped support plate 401 is perfectly matched with the 082V95800-0002 idler wheel assembly, with a contact area of 1 / 3 of the outer circumference of the idler wheel, ensuring lifting stability. The arc-shaped support plate 401 is 15mm narrower than the idler wheel to avoid interference with surrounding components such as the engine water pump inlet pipe and hose connector. The semicircular through hole 404 is concentric with the arc-shaped support plate 401, and its diameter is 8mm larger than the idler wheel fastening bolt, providing ample space for bolt insertion and air gun sleeve operation. The bolt through hole 402 is located on the side of the semicircular through hole 404 near the longitudinal beam A302, so that the force of the adjusting bolt 5 is collinear with the force center of the idler wheel.
[0053] This fixture, through the above design, can ensure that the idler wheel will not tip over when it is raised, and can also specifically solve the problem of bolt tightening interference in a compact space. At the same time, it is easy to quickly detach the fixture after assembly, avoiding damage to the idler wheel surface and engine surrounding components. Compared with pry bar installation, it completely eliminates the risk of scratching components.
[0054] Specifically, refer to Figures 2-4 The upper and lower parts of the longitudinal beam A302 are both equipped with intelligent pins 11. When the moving block 4 is in a high or low position, the moving block 4 can be connected to the intelligent pin 11 corresponding to the position. The intelligent pin 11 includes a support CPW0101101 and a proximity switch sensor 1102. The support CPW0101101 is disposed on the longitudinal beam A302, and the proximity switch sensor 1102 is disposed near the support CPW0101101. The support CPW0101101 is electrically connected to the proximity switch sensor 1102. The proximity switch sensor 1102 can sense the position of the moving block 4 and control the extension and retraction of the extension shaft of the support CPW0101101. The moving block 4 has a limiting pin hole 405 inside the connecting groove 403 corresponding to the longitudinal beam A302, which is adapted to the extension shaft of the support CPW0101101. The extension shaft of the support CPW0101101 can extend into or out of the limiting pin hole 405.
[0055] The intelligent pins 11 at the top and bottom of the longitudinal beam A302 have proximity switch sensors 1102 with an inductive sensing design. The sensing distance is ≤5mm, which can accurately detect the high and low positions of the moving block 4. When the moving block 4 reaches the high position, the proximity switch sensor 1102 outputs an electrical signal to control the support CPW0101101 to extend its shaft and insert it into the limit pin hole 405, locking the moving block 4. After assembly, the sensor senses that the moving block 4 has fallen back to the low position and controls the extension shaft to insert into the limit pin hole 405 again, preventing the moving block 4 from falling off the support frame 3.
[0056] This fixture, through the above design, can effectively withstand the reverse tension of the 810N elastic multi-wedge belt, avoid the thread failure caused by long-term stress on the adjusting bolt 5, and extend the service life of the fixture; at the same time, it can achieve rapid positioning of the assembly station without repeated manual calibration, shortening the alignment time from the traditional 30 seconds to 3 seconds, greatly improving the production line cycle time, and avoiding the safety hazards caused by the slippage of the moving block 4.
[0057] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and 7The upper part of the support base 2 is respectively inserted into the lower end of the upper tilting arm 101 and the connecting rod 6; the lower part of the support base 2 is provided with an adjustment groove 201 corresponding to the lower tilting arm 102, and the higher end of the lower tilting arm 102 is inserted into the adjustment groove 201; a fixing pin 202 is inserted into the top of the support base 2, and the fixing pin 202 is inserted from the top of the support base 2 to be sequentially pin connected to the upper tilting arm 101, the lower tilting arm 102 and the connecting rod 6; the lower end of the upper tilting arm 101, the higher end of the lower tilting arm 102 and the end of the connecting rod 6 are each provided with a plurality of connecting pin holes 103 adapted to the fixing pin 202, and the connecting pin holes 103 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the upper tilting arm 101, the lower tilting arm 102 and the connecting rod 6.
[0058] The upper part of the support base 2 is connected to the upper tilting arm 101 and the connecting rod 6 by a plug-in joint. The lower adjustment groove 201 provides a fine adjustment stroke of ±10mm for the lower tilting arm 102. The fixing pin 202 is inserted from the top of the support base 2 and passes through the connecting pin holes 103 of the upper tilting arm 101, the lower tilting arm 102 and the connecting rod 6 in sequence to realize the synchronous locking of multiple parts. The connecting pin holes 103 are arranged in a set every 15mm along the length of the parts, and the assembly position can be adjusted according to the installation distance requirements of different idler wheels.
[0059] This tooling, through the above design, enables quick assembly and disassembly as well as fine-tuning of its position. It is compatible with reinforced idler pulleys with a wheel diameter of 74mm and a shaft diameter of 30mm, as well as other types of idler pulleys. This solves the problem of parts getting stuck and difficult to adjust in a compact space, and avoids damage to the engine air conditioning system or multi-ribbed belts during disassembly.
[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 and 6 The lower part of the bracket 8 is connected to a transition plate 9, and the transition plate 9 is pin-connected to the connecting seat 7 via a locking mechanism 10; the locking mechanism 10 includes a pin handle 1001, and the upper and lower parts of the pin handle 1001 are respectively provided with a positioning pin A1002 and a positioning pin B1003; the upper and lower parts of the transition plate 9 are respectively provided with positioning pin holes A901 and B902 that are adapted to the positioning pins A1002 and B1003; The positioning pin A1002 passes through the connecting seat 7 and can be inserted into the positioning pin hole A901, and the positioning pin B1003 passes through the connecting seat 7 and can be inserted into the positioning pin hole B902; the pin handle 1001 is connected to a fixing pin 1004 that can be pinned to the connecting rod 6, the end of the connecting rod 6 is inserted into the connecting seat 7, and after the connecting rod 6 is inserted into the connecting seat 7, the fixing pin 1004 can be inserted into the connecting seat 7 and inserted into the connecting rod 6.
[0061] The pin handle 1001 of the connecting mechanism 10 adopts a lever design. Pressing the pin handle 1001 can simultaneously drive the positioning pins A1002 and B1003 through the connecting seat 7 and insert them into the positioning pin holes A901 and B902 of the transition plate 9, respectively, to achieve precise positioning. After the connecting rod 6 is inserted into the connecting seat 7, the fixing pin 1004 is inserted laterally into the pin holes of the connecting seat 7 and the connecting rod 6 to form a double lock. When disassembling, it is only necessary to pull out the fixing pin 1004 and pry the pin handle 1001 to separate the parts.
[0062] This tooling, through the above design, can quickly complete the positioning and assembly of the tooling and the engine with a positioning accuracy of ±0.3mm. It is easy to disassemble and can be separated into independent components such as outrigger units, support frames, and brackets. The maximum size of a single component is ≤500mm, which meets the transportation and carrying needs of after-sales maintenance scenarios. Compared with integrated tooling, it can significantly improve flexibility.
[0063] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 The positioning pin holes A901 are arranged in groups of two, and there is one group; the positioning pin holes B902 are arranged in groups of two, and there are several groups; the two positioning pin holes A901 and the two positioning pin holes B902 in the same group are horizontally spaced 15mm apart; and the several groups of positioning pin holes B902 are evenly distributed along an arc trajectory. When the positioning pin A1002 is inserted into the positioning pin hole A901, the connecting seat 7 can rotate around the positioning pin A1002 as an axis, so that the positioning pin B1003 can be inserted into the corresponding positioning pin hole B902.
[0064] Two positioning pin holes A901 in the same group are horizontally spaced 15mm apart, serving as reference positioning holes; several groups of positioning pin holes B902 are distributed along an arc trajectory, with the arc radius consistent with the rotation center of the connecting seat 7, and the included angle between adjacent groups of holes is 15°, covering an adjustment range of 0°-90°; after the positioning pin A1002 is inserted into the positioning pin hole A901, the connecting seat 7 can rotate around the positioning pin A1002, and according to the installation requirements of single-groove / double-groove pulleys and different air conditioning compressor brackets, the positioning pin B1003 is inserted into the corresponding group of positioning pin holes B902.
[0065] This tooling, through the above design, can be adapted to various modified machine models such as the 082V19101-0011 compressor bracket and the 082V95800-0001 idler wheel, achieving "one tooling for multiple uses". It eliminates the need to design special tooling for different machine models, reduces production costs by more than 30%, and meets the needs of rapid model switching in mass production.
[0066] A method for using an idler wheel assembly tooling adapted to a dual-air conditioning engine includes the following steps: S1. Tooling positioning: Select the corresponding hole position according to the model, fix the bracket 8 to the engine cylinder block, lock the transition plate 9 and the connecting seat 7 through the locking pin mechanism 10, insert the fixing pin 202 to fix the support arm unit 1 and the connecting rod 6, and align with the assembly station. S2. Place the idler wheel: Place the idler wheel to be installed on the arc-shaped support plate 401 of the moving block 4 and attach it to the appropriate position; S3. Lifting and positioning: Rotate the adjusting bolt 5 to drive the moving block 4 to slide up along the longitudinal beam slide rail, and tighten the elastic multi-wedge belt until the proximity switch sensor 1102 senses the position. S4. Locking: Proximity switch sensor 1102 controls support CPW0101101 pin locking moving block 4; S5. Secure the idler wheel: Insert bolts through the semi-circular through-hole 404 to fix the idler wheel to the refrigeration compressor bracket; S6. Disassembly of fixture: Unlock the support pin, rotate the adjusting bolt 5 in the opposite direction to make the moving block 4 fall back and lock, and disassemble the bracket bolt, the locking mechanism 10 and the fixing pin 202 in sequence.
[0067] The process follows a closed-loop operation: "S1 Tooling positioning - S2 Idler wheel placement - S3 Lifting positioning - S4 Locking - S5 Idler wheel tightening - S6 Tooling disassembly". In S1, the positioning pin hole B902 of the transition plate 9 and the connecting pin hole 103 of the support arm unit 1 are selected according to the machine model to ensure precise alignment between the tooling and the assembly station. In S3, rotating the adjusting bolt 5 drives the moving block 4 to slide along the slide rails of the longitudinal beam A302 and the longitudinal beam B303, tightening the elastic multi-wedge belt until the proximity switch sensor 1102 outputs a signal indicating that it is in position. In S4, the support CPW0101101 automatically locks the moving block 4 to prevent displacement during assembly. In S6, the tooling is prevented from becoming unstable by following the sequence of "first removing the bracket bolts → then removing the connecting pin mechanism 10 → finally removing the fixing pin 202".
[0068] The above-described method allows for independent operation by a single person, reducing the traditional pry bar installation cycle from 207 seconds per piece to 45 seconds per piece, thus improving production line efficiency. It also completely eliminates safety accidents and component scratches caused by pry bar slippage, improving product qualification rates and fully meeting the cycle time, safety, and quality requirements for mass production of dual air conditioning engines.
