Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of diesel engine body bolt hole processing, and particularly relates to an auxiliary tool for improving the verticality of the bolt holes of a marine diesel engine body. Background Art

[0002] Marine diesel engines feature high thermal efficiency, good economy, easy starting, and wide adaptability to various types of vessels, making them widely used in marine propulsion systems and power plants. The engine fuselage is a key component and serves as the engine's foundation, with all fixed and moving parts bolted to it. Key bolt holes in the engine fuselage are the main bearing and cylinder head bolt holes. These bolt holes are stepped, with threaded holes at the bottom and smooth holes at the top. The thread diameter must be at least M36, and the required perpendicularity must be 0.20 / 100. The traditional, economical machining method involves pre-drilling with a gantry boring and milling machine followed by tapping with a drill press. However, the high flexibility of the drill press can lead to irregular perpendicularity in the main bearing and cylinder head bolt holes. The main bearing and cylinder head bolts on a marine diesel engine are approximately 1000 mm long, and irregular perpendicularity in these bolt holes can directly impact the installation of the main bearing and cylinder heads, causing interference. During the tapping process of key bolt holes, the verticality of the thread is mainly guaranteed by the accuracy of the drilling machine. However, as the equipment ages, the accuracy of the drilling machine decreases, and it is impossible to perform accuracy compensation like a CNC machine tool. This system error directly affects the processing accuracy of the key bolt holes of the fuselage, and the processing quality is unstable, resulting in the main bearing cover and cylinder head being unable to be installed smoothly, affecting the production progress. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] Auxiliary tools used to improve the verticality of bolt holes in marine diesel engine bodies, such as Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a tap extension rod 1 for connecting the tap 3 and the drilling machine and a positioning sleeve 2 for limiting the deflection of the tap extension rod 1 when machining the threaded section in the bolt hole. The upper end of the tap extension rod 1 is connected to the tapping handle of the drilling machine, and the lower end of the tap extension rod 1 is adapted to be connected with the upper end of the tap 3, so that the tap 3 rotates with the rotation of the tap extension rod 1. The positioning sleeve 2 is adapted to the position of the upper end of the light hole 4, and the tap 3 that passes through the positioning sleeve 2 is driven by the tapping handle to move along the light hole 4 under the anti-deflection guiding effect of the positioning sleeve 2 on the tap extension rod 1. The threaded hole is coaxially processed at the bottom of the hole 4. In the above structure, a positioning sleeve 2 is provided at the opening of the light hole 4 to be processed, and the tap 3 is connected to the drilling machine by the tap extension rod 1. When the tap extension rod 1 and the positioning sleeve 2 are adapted, the tap 3 coaxially processes the threaded hole along the bottom of the light hole 4. This solves the quality problem of excessive verticality of the bolt hole in traditional processing methods, provides a guide condition for the tap extension rod 1 to prevent swing during thread segment processing, ensures the stability and reliability of the tap when processing the threaded hole at the bottom of the light hole 4, and thus meets the verticality requirements of the bolt hole.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the specific structure of the positioning sleeve 2 is as follows: the positioning sleeve 2 is a T-shaped sleeve, the small diameter section at the lower end of the positioning sleeve 2 is adapted to the upper end of the light hole 4, and the step surface formed by the large diameter section and the small diameter section of the positioning sleeve 2 is in contact with the plane on the body at the position of the light hole 4; specifically, a plurality of shallow grooves 5 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the inner hole wall of the positioning sleeve 2 and are parallel to its axial direction and are used to guide cutting fluid or cutting oil to facilitate lubrication of the tap; specifically, as Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the positioning sleeve 2, the positioning sleeve 2 can be designed as a two-petal splicing structure, and a plurality of V-shaped shallow grooves 5 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the inner hole wall of the positioning sleeve 2; in the above structure, by processing the shallow grooves 5 for guiding cutting fluid or cutting oil on the inner hole wall of the positioning sleeve 2, cutting fluid or cutting oil can be added during tapping to ensure sufficient lubrication;

[0023] The positioning sleeve 2 is made of high-quality carbon structural steel after quenching and tempering. Specifically, the tap extension rod 1 is made of 42CrMo steel after heat treatment, and the heat treatment hardness of the tap extension rod 1 is 40-45HRC.

[0024] The specific structure of the tap extension rod 1 is as follows: the tap extension rod 1 includes a connecting guide section 1-1 at the lower end, a stepped connecting section 1-3 at the upper end, and an extension section 1-2 connected to the connecting guide section 1-1 and the stepped connecting section 1-3 as a whole. The lower end surface of the connecting guide section 1-1 is provided with a square hole adapted to connect with the square column at the upper end of the tap 3, and the top screw threadedly connected to the connecting guide section 1-1 through a countersunk screw hole is pressed against the annular groove at the upper end of the tap 3. The square column at the upper end of the stepped connecting section 1-3 is adapted to connect with the bed tapping tool handle; in the above structure, the tap 3 When machining a threaded hole from the bottom of the light hole 4, the connecting guide section 1-1 cooperates with the center hole of the positioning sleeve 2, and the cooperation clearance is selected to be 0.2 to 0.25 mm. Moreover, the length of the connecting guide section 1-1 is greater than the length of the positioning sleeve 2, and is also greater than the machining depth of the threaded hole, thereby ensuring that the positioning sleeve 2 always cooperates with the connecting guide section 1-1 before and after the threaded hole machining, ensuring the verticality requirement of the threaded hole machining. The positioning sleeve 2 that cooperates with the tap extension rod 1 and the light hole 4 of the bolt hole limits the swing position of the tap extension rod 1 during tapping, thereby well ensuring the verticality of the bolt hole.

[0025] According to the structural characteristics of the fuselage bolt hole, the tap extension rod 1 and the positioning sleeve 2 are designed. The tap extension rod 1 is used to connect the tap 3 and the drill press, and the positioning sleeve 2 is used to limit the deflection of the tap extension rod 1 during thread processing. Design principle: if the design center deviation is less than the theoretical center deviation δ, the verticality requirements of the screw hole in the drawing can be met. Figure 3 As shown, the bolt hole design center deviation = the fitting clearance between the tap extension rod 1 and the locating sleeve 2 / 2 + the fitting clearance between the locating sleeve 2 and the bolt hole / 2 < δ; generally, for ease of operation, each fitting clearance is selected to be between 0.2 and 0.25 mm, the orifice size of the fuselage bolt hole is controlled according to the outer diameter of the locating sleeve 2, and the inner hole size of the locating sleeve 2 (to ensure that the sleeve wall thickness is ≥4 mm) is determined according to the size of the positioning part of the tap extension rod 1 (i.e., the connecting guide section 1-1) to meet the fitting clearance requirements; for ease of installation, the locating sleeve 2 can be linearly cut into two parts from the center position, and the inner hole wall of the locating sleeve 2 should be machined with a shallow V-shaped groove 5. Cutting fluid or cutting oil can be added during tapping to ensure adequate lubrication. The material of the positioning sleeve 2 is 45GB / T699, quenched and tempered; the material of the tap extension rod is 42CrMoGB / T3077, heat-treated to a hardness of 40-45HRC. Chip removal can be achieved by setting an axial center hole on the tap extension rod 1. This is the same chip removal method as our company's original design of the tap extension rod, so it will not be repeated here.

[0026] This technical solution has a simple structure, novel design, low cost, stable and reliable positioning and guiding, reduces the difficulty of bolt hole processing, improves the verticality accuracy of bolt holes, improves the processing quality of products, and ensures smooth production.
