Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crankshafts, in particular to a low-crack engine crankshaft. Background Art
[0002] The engine crankshaft is an important component in the automobile engine. It and the piston connecting rod group together constitute the engine's crank-connecting rod mechanism. The main function of the crankshaft is to convert the linear power generated by the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotational power, thereby driving the transmission system and other accessories of the car. The crankshaft is usually made of high-strength steel or cast iron. Its structural design and manufacturing quality have an important impact on the power performance, economic performance and reliability of the engine. The design of the crankshaft needs to consider many factors, including strength, stiffness, moment of inertia, mass and balance. In general, the engine crankshaft is one of the key components for engine energy conversion, which is crucial to ensuring the normal operation of the engine and the performance of the entire vehicle.
[0003] When the crankshaft is in use, the connecting rod journal of the crankshaft is connected to the piston connecting rod, and the up and down movement of the piston connecting rod is converted into the rotation of the main shaft. When the crankshaft rotates, the up and down movement of the piston connecting rod is converted into the rotational movement of the main shaft. Therefore, under the action of gravity of the connecting rod and the crankshaft arm, the rotation speed of the crankshaft is easily unstable, which is prone to oscillation, accelerates the damage of the crankshaft, and the transmitted power is unstable. During use, the stress of the piston connecting rod or other accessories will be concentrated at the transition radius between the crank and the journal, which will easily cause cracks in the crankshaft at the transition radius, reducing the service life.
