Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine crankshafts, and specifically relates to an engine crankshaft which is convenient for partial replacement. Background Art
[0002] The crankshaft is composed of the main journal, connecting rod journal crank arm, balance block, front axle end and rear axle end. The crankshaft is the main rotating part of the engine. After the connecting rod is installed, it can take over the up and down movement of the connecting rod and convert it into a circular motion. It is an important part of the engine. At present, the crankshaft connecting rod is fixed to the crankshaft by bolts. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined action of the centrifugal force of the rotating mass, the periodically changing gas inertia force and the reciprocating inertia force, so that the crankshaft is subjected to bending and torsional loads.
[0003] After long-term use, the gear at one end of the engine crankshaft on the market will age and need to be disassembled and replaced. Most crankshafts and gears are connected with interference fits and keys or retaining springs, which makes it inconvenient to disassemble and replace the gears and crankshaft rods. Based on this prior art, a Chinese patent for a forged steel crankshaft with a publication number of CN219932704U achieves the purpose of convenient replacement by detachably arranging gears between a support shaft and a connecting shaft. However, the disadvantage of this patent is that the gears are fixed by multiple bolts. As the crankshaft is used, the bolts will loosen, reducing the coaxiality between the gear and the output shaft end of the crankshaft. Because the crankshaft is a high-speed rotating part, the reduced coaxiality will inevitably intensify the vibration of the crankshaft, affecting the normal operation of the engine. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an engine crankshaft that is easy to partially replace, which can improve the coaxiality of the gear and the crankshaft to ensure the normal operation of the engine.
