Usually, one side of the engine's crankshaft is the flywheel end shaft section, which is mainly connected to the engine flywheel.
[0003] In order to ensure the working strength and rigidity of the crankshaft, the crankshaft usually has a considerable weight, which invisibly increases the weight of the engine and makes the engine fuel economy poor. In addition, based on the working principle of the crankshaft, the connecting rod neck of the crankshaft has to bear huge and repeated impact loads, so the crankshaft connecting rod wears quickly and has a short life. The traditional crankshaft is a whole, and each part cannot be disassembled and replaced. When the crankshaft connecting rod is damaged, the entire crankshaft needs to be replaced, which has a high maintenance cost. For this reason, an improved crankshaft is designed.
