[0024] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and explanation of the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.
[0025] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of the component or structure itself. In addition, it should be noted that the terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another, and do not have sequentiality and importance. Additionally, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same elements.
[0026] As Figure 1 shown, the present disclosure provides an oil seal installation tooling for installing the oil seal 4. The oil seal installation tooling includes: a guide device 1, including a first end 17 and a second end 11 opposite to the first end 17. The first end 17 is used to detachably connect to the end of the crankshaft 6. The oil seal 4 is sleeved on the guide device 1 and can move along the guide device 1; a press-fitting device 2, having a cavity inside and an opening at one end of the cavity. The open end of the press-fitting device 2 is sleeved on the outside of the guide device 1 and abuts against the oil seal 4; and a power device 3, abutting against the end of the press-fitting device 2 away from the opening to push the press-fitting device 2 to move along the guide device 1.
[0027] Through the above technical solution, when the oil seal 4 needs to be installed, the guide device 1 is installed at the end of the crankshaft 6, the oil seal 4 is sleeved on the guide device 1, the press-fitting device 2 is sleeved on the outside of the guide device 1 and abuts against the oil seal 4, and the power device 3 abuts against the press-fitting device 2 to push the press-fitting device 2 to move along the guide device 1, thereby pushing the oil seal 4 to move to install the oil seal 4. In this way, there is no need to disassemble the engine, and the oil seal 4 can be directly installed, which is safe and fast.
[0028] As an optional embodiment, as Figures 2 - 3 shown, the first end 17 is provided with a magnet 14. The guide device 1 is adsorbed on the end of the crankshaft 6 through the magnet 14. Using the magnet 14 for adsorption is convenient for installation and disassembly, and there is no need to additionally process the crankshaft 6 or use tools.
[0029] Optionally, the first end 17 is provided with a mounting hole 13. The magnet 14 is arranged in the mounting hole 13 and fixed by a fixing bolt 16. For example, the fixing bolt 16 is a bolt which is threadedly connected to the first end 17 and also threadedly connected to the magnet 14 to fix the magnet 14 in the mounting hole 13. When the magnet 14 needs to be disassembled, the fixing bolt 16 can also push out the magnet 14.
[0030] As an alternative embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the guiding device 1 is configured as a cylindrical structure. The outer circumference of the second end 11 is configured as a conical surface and the diameter of this conical surface gradually decreases from the first end 17 to the second end 11. Since the oil seal 4 is annular, in order to match the shape of the oil seal 4, the guiding device 1 is configured as a cylindrical structure and the second end 11 is provided with a conical surface to facilitate the sleeving of the oil seal 4, so as to further guide when sleeving the oil seal 4.
[0031] As an alternative embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, a rotor press-fitting hole 62 protruding from the end face is provided at the center of the crankshaft 6 for installing the rotor of the engine. The first end 17 is provided with a positioning groove 15 for sleeving outside the rotor press-fitting hole 62. The positioning groove 15 is located at the center of the end face of the guiding device 1. When installing the guiding device 1, the positioning groove 15 is sleeved outside the rotor press-fitting hole 62 to position the guiding device 1.
[0032] As an alternative embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the second end 11 is provided with a handle 12 which extends beyond the end face of the second end 11, facilitating the taking of the guiding device 1. The total length of the guiding device 1 plus the part of the handle 12 protruding from the guiding device 1 is less than the length of the inner cavity of the pressing device 2, so as to avoid the handle 12 touching the end face of the pressing device 2 during pressing.
[0033] As an alternative embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the oil seal installation tooling further includes a force-bearing top block 5. The pressing device 2 is configured as a flexible elastic member. The force-bearing top block 5 is arranged at the end of the pressing device 2 away from the opening. The flexible elastic member can maintain flexibility while having elasticity. For example, the pressing device 2 is made of nylon, so that when pressing the oil seal 4, the force can be buffered and at the same time the oil seal 4 can be protected to prevent the pressing device 2 from damaging the oil seal 4. However, since the elastic member is flexible and not easily stressed, deformation occurs at the stressed end, so a rigid force-bearing top block 5 is provided for connecting and bearing force with the power device 3. A connecting hole is provided on the end face of the pressing device 2, and the force-bearing top block 5 is embedded in the connecting hole. For further reinforcement, gluing can also be carried out. In other embodiments, the pressing device 2 can also be rigid, in which case there is no need to provide a force-bearing top block 5. To prevent damage to the oil seal 4, a buffer pad can be provided at the end of the pressing device 2 in contact with the oil seal 4.
[0034] Optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the power device 3 includes a pneumatic hammer 32 and a pressing head 31. A positioning hole 51 is provided at one end of the force-bearing top block 5 away from the opening. One end of the pressing head 31 is provided with a positioning pin 311 for inserting into the positioning hole 51 and a limiting plate 312 with a diameter larger than that of the positioning hole 51. The other end of the pressing head 31 is connected to the pneumatic hammer 32. The positioning pin 311 is inserted into the positioning hole 51, and the limiting plate 312 abuts against the outside of the positioning hole 51 to limit the pressing head 31. The pneumatic hammer 32, that is, a pickaxe, uses compressed air to push the piston to reciprocate, so that the pressing head 31 moves quickly, removes the original pickaxe head of the pickaxe, and installs the pressing head 31 of the present disclosure. The end of the pressing head 31 is adapted to the pickaxe. The movement range of the pickaxe is small. Using the pickaxe can make the force on the pressing device 2 more uniform and the oil seal 4 more properly installed. Of course, in other embodiments, the power device 3 can also be other devices that can hammer the pressing device 2, such as a manual hammer, etc.
[0035] Optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, an oil seal pressing hole 61 is provided on the crankshaft 6. The outer diameter of the end of the pressing device 2 with an opening is larger than the diameter of the oil seal pressing hole 61, and an annular protrusion 21 protruding from the end wall is provided on the inner ring of this end. The width and diameter of the annular protrusion 21 are the same as those of the oil seal 4. The oil seal 4 is installed in the oil seal pressing hole 61, and the outer ring of the pressing device 2 is pressed on the outer cylinder plane of the oil seal pressing hole 61 for limiting. The annular protrusion 21 pushes the oil seal 4 into the oil seal pressing hole 61 to ensure the flatness of the oil seal 4 pressing.
[0036] As an optional implementation manner, the oil seal installation tooling is used to install the rear oil seal on the automobile engine, so that the engine does not need to be disassembled and the oil seal 4 can be directly installed, which is safe and fast.
