Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of engine manufacturing, and relates to a screw hole protective rubber plug structure, in particular to an engine gear chamber exposed screw hole protective rubber plug structure with low cost and good effect. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, during the manufacturing and installation of engines, according to the different needs of manufacturers and users, some engines require the installation of auxiliary parts, and screw holes need to be processed on the basic parts of the engine. When some engines do not need to install auxiliary parts, the original screw holes on the basic parts of the engine become redundant. If the redundant screw holes on the engine are not protected, they may rust when the host is stored or used by the user, thus affecting the appearance quality of the engine. There are many ways to protect the exposed screw holes of the engine, some use plastic plugs, some use truncated cone rubber plugs, some use plastic tapes, and some use installation bolts for protection. Each of these screw hole protection measures has different disadvantages. Plastic plugs are not tightly sealed and are easy to fall off due to aging; plastic tapes are more likely to be smashed during use, and when there is anti-rust oil on the parts, the tapes are easily contaminated and fall off; truncated cone rubber plugs are easy to be hit and fall off during use; bolts are relatively expensive and are not suitable for large-scale use. Therefore, it is very important to reliably protect the exposed screw holes of the engine at a low cost.
[0003] In summary, in order to ensure that the exposed screw holes outside the engine gear chamber do not rust, it is absolutely necessary to provide a screw hole protective rubber plug structure with low cost, easy installation and good sealing performance. Utility Model Content

[0006] The guiding cylinder at the small end of the screw hole protective plug is a truncated right cone, whose cone surface is a truncated cone, and the diameter d1 of the small end of the truncated right cone is smaller than the small diameter of the screw hole.

[0015] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a protective rubber plug structure for exposed screw holes in an engine gear chamber comprises: an engine gear chamber 1 and a screw hole protective rubber plug 2; because some models use these screw holes to install oil pipe brackets, extra exposed screw holes LK are left on the engine gear chamber 1, and the screw hole protective rubber plug 2 is press-fitted into the exposed screw hole LK of the engine gear chamber 1 by a rubber plug installation tool 3.
[0016] The guide cylinder 2.1 at the small end of the screw hole protective rubber plug 2 is a truncated cone (conical frustum), and the diameter d1 of the small end of the truncated cone is smaller than the minor diameter of the exposed screw hole LK, which is convenient for identification; the fixing block 2.2 in the middle of the screw hole protective rubber plug 2 is a cylinder, and the upper deviation of its diameter d2 than the minor diameter of the screw hole LK is 0.30mm, and it is an interference fit with the cylindrical surface where the minor diameter of the exposed screw hole LK is located, and its length L is half of the diameter of the exposed screw hole LK or slightly larger, so as to avoid the screw hole protective rubber plug 2 The sealing body 2.3 at the large end of the screw hole protective rubber plug 2 is a large cylinder, and its diameter d3 is 1-2mm larger than the chamfer of the exposed screw hole LK. After installation, the inner end face of the sealing body 2.3 fits tightly with the end face of the exposed screw hole LK to prevent water from entering and causing rust on the exposed screw hole LK. There is a blind hole 2.4 with a blind hole diameter d4 in the middle of the outer end face of the sealing body 2.3, and its diameter d4 ensures that the wall thickness of the screw hole protective rubber plug is 1.5-4mm according to the screw hole diameter. It is used for installation using the rubber plug installation tool 3, and the fixing block 2.2 of the screw hole protective rubber plug 2 is easy to shrink during installation, making installation easier.
[0017] During installation, first insert the pressure head 3.1 of the rubber plug installation tool 3 into the blind hole 2.4 of the threaded protective rubber plug 2, then insert the front part 2.1 of the threaded protective rubber plug 2 mounted on the tooling into the opening of the exposed screw hole LK of the gear chamber 1, and press it into the exposed screw hole LK until the inner end face of the sealing body 2.3 fits with the end face of the exposed screw hole LK, and then pull out the rubber plug installation tool 3.
[0018] In summary, the front part of the engine gear room screw hole protection rubber plug is a conical frustum, which is easy to identify and has good guiding performance; the middle fixing block is a cylinder, which is an interference fit with the exposed screw hole to prevent loosening; the sealing body fits the end face of the exposed screw hole to ensure sealing performance; the rubber plug installation tool ensures the smooth installation of the exposed screw hole protection rubber plug, so that the exposed screw hole can be sealed with the rubber plug. Therefore, the engine gear room exposed screw hole protection rubber plug structure has good sealing performance, high reliability and good anti-rust effect.
[0019] The practical application of the present invention is not limited to the situation described in this example, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not deviate from the substantial content of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
