Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crankshaft inspection tools, in particular to a tool for measuring chamfers in holes at both ends of a crankshaft. Background Art
[0002] The crankshaft is a crucial component in mechanical equipment such as internal combustion engines, primarily used to convert the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion, thereby driving the engine. Crankshaft chamfering refers to the beveled surface treatment applied to the crankshaft's edge. Its purpose is to reduce stress concentration, effectively lower the risk of fracture, improve lubrication, reduce friction, and enhance fatigue strength and durability. The size, shape, and dimensional accuracy of the crankshaft chamfer directly impact its performance during operation. Therefore, precise measurement of the crankshaft's chamfer is essential after production to ensure product quality.
[0003] For example, patent publication number CN217980161U provides a measuring fixture for quickly measuring the chamfer of a crankshaft's big end. The fixture comprises a first base plate and a second base plate, each of which has an adjustment slot disposed thereon, each containing an adjustment assembly. A graduated scale is disposed on the left side of the first base plate's surface. By rotating the rotary handle, the second bevel gear drives the first bevel gear to rotate. As the lead screw rotates, the moving block in the adjustment slot moves, driving one end of the chamfer plate to move, thereby moving the hinge plate in the connecting sleeve. This facilitates adjustment of the chamfer plate's inclination angle, and the matching of the arrow and the graduated scale allows the relevant dimensions of the chamfer plate to be understood.
[0004] However, for the crankshafts in some large mechanical products, they are large in size and heavy, up to tens of kilograms. When aligning and measuring the crankshaft end with the existing measuring device such as the above-mentioned one, there are problems such as difficult crankshaft placement and difficult measurement operations. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the measurement of the chamfers of large and heavy crankshafts at both ends is difficult due to the difficulty in positioning the crankshaft. This application provides a tool for measuring the chamfers of the holes at both ends of the crankshaft. Without moving the crankshaft to a specific position and placement angle, the crankshaft chamfers can be directly measured by using components such as a measuring steel ball.
[0006] The utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A tool for measuring the chamfers in holes at both ends of a crankshaft, comprising a measuring steel ball, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the chamfered holes at both ends of the crankshaft; a limiting sleeve is arranged at one end of the measuring steel ball away from the crankshaft, a measuring instrument is arranged at the side of the limiting sleeve away from the measuring steel ball, an elastic member is inserted between the measuring instrument and the measuring steel ball, and the elastic member is in a compressed state.
[0008] Preferably, a support seat is provided on one side of the measuring instrument close to the limit sleeve, one end of the elastic member is detachably connected to the support seat, and the other end of the elastic member passes through the limit sleeve and abuts against the measuring steel ball.
[0009] Preferably, the measuring instrument is provided with a protruding positioning rod, the positioning rod is passed through the center of the support base, and the elastic member is also passed through the center of the support base and abuts against the end of the positioning rod.
[0010] Preferably, the support base is provided with a fixing bolt, which passes through the support base in a direction perpendicular to the positioning rod, and the end of the fixing bolt can abut against the side wall surface of the positioning rod.
[0011] Preferably, the support base is provided with a connecting bolt, and the connecting bolt is sequentially passed through the support base and the limiting sleeve along the direction of the positioning rod and the elastic member.
[0012] Preferably, the limiting sleeve includes a sleeve, one end of which can be clamped with the measuring steel ball, and the inner side wall of the sleeve is protruded with a limiting ring, which can limit the measuring steel ball in the sleeve.
[0013] Preferably, an extension ring is provided at one end of the sleeve away from the measuring steel ball, the extension direction of the extension ring is perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve, and the connecting bolt is sequentially passed through the support seat and the extension ring.
[0014] The technical solution of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The utility model provides a tool for measuring the chamfers of the holes at both ends of a crankshaft, which can solve the problem that the existing crankshaft chamfer measuring device needs to fix the crankshaft to a specific position for measurement, but it is inconvenient to measure the crankshaft with large volume and heavy mass due to the need to move it unchanged. That is, there is no need to move the crankshaft to a specific position and place it at an angle, and the crankshaft chamfer can be directly measured by using components such as a measuring steel ball to work together.
