[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a crankshaft deweighting hole positioning tool, including a processing table 1 and a positioning device 2, wherein a first support seat 3 and a second support seat 4 are respectively provided at both ends of the processing table 1, and a clamping device 6 is provided on the first support seat 3 and the second support seat 4; the clamping device 6 includes a rack 10 slidably mounted on the first support seat 3 or the second support seat 4, an incomplete gear 11 meshing with the rack 10, and a clamping member mounted on the incomplete gear 11, and the clamping member is used to clamp the main shaft neck 14; the positioning device 2 includes a positioning block 8 mounted on the processing table 1 and a positioning bolt 9 threadedly connected to the positioning block 8, a positioning groove 16 is provided on the positioning block 8, and one end of the positioning bolt 9 located in the positioning groove 16 is in rigid contact with the connecting rod journal 17.

[0028] The first support seat 3 and the second support seat 4 are used to support both ends of the crankshaft, specifically the main journal 14 of the crankshaft. The clamping device 6 clamps the main journal 14, specifically by moving the rack 10 to rotate the incomplete gear 11. The incomplete gear 11 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, allowing the clamping member to move away from or close to the main journal 14, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of the main journal 14. The crankshaft connecting rod journal 17 is circumferentially positioned and fixed by the positioning device 2. When the connecting rod journal 17 is located in the positioning groove 16 on the positioning block 8, the positioning bolt 9 is rotated to press it against the outer surface of the connecting rod journal 17, thereby achieving fixation of the connecting rod journal 17. It can achieve circumferential fixation of different parts of the crankshaft, improve the stability of the crankshaft during processing, avoid the circumferential rotation of the crankshaft caused by insufficient clamping of the main journal 14, and reduce the scrap rate.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the first support seat 3 and the second support seat 4 are provided with a V-shaped groove 5. When in use, the main shaft journal 14 is located in the V-shaped groove 5. The V-shaped groove 5 can provide two fulcrums for the main shaft journal 14. The two fulcrums are the circumferential fixing points of the main shaft journal 14. The clamping device 6 is used to clamp the main shaft journal 14 from the top, thereby achieving multi-point fixation of the main shaft journal 14 and achieving a good fixing effect.

[0030] In other embodiments, a shim is provided on the wall of the V-shaped groove 5. The shim can prevent the crankshaft from wearing the V-shaped groove 5, thereby extending the service life of the first support seat 3 and the second support seat 4. Furthermore, when the shim is worn, the shim can be replaced.

[0031] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 15 is provided on both sides of the first support base 1 and the second support base 4, and the partial gear 11 is connected to the fixing plate 15 via a rotating shaft 19. The partial gear 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 19, and both ends of the rotating shaft 19 are rotatably connected to the fixing plate 15, thereby improving the stability of the partial gear 11 during rotation.

[0032] In this embodiment, a slot 20 is formed on the top of each of the first support seat 3 and the second support seat 4. The rack 10 is slidably mounted in the slot 20. A cylinder 18 is disposed in the slot 20, and the piston rod of the cylinder 18 is connected to the rack 10. During use, the piston rod of the cylinder 18 extends, driving the rack 10 toward the main journal 14. The rack 10 drives the incomplete gear 11 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the pressing member away from the main journal 14, releasing the crankshaft. The piston rod of the cylinder 18 shortens, driving the rack 10 away from the main journal 14. The rack 10 drives the incomplete gear 11 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the pressing member toward the main journal 14 until it is pressed against the outer circumference of the main journal 14. This secures the crankshaft and quickly achieves both fixation and release.

[0033] In some implementations of this embodiment, the clamping member includes a clamping rod 12, the clamping rod 12 includes a connecting portion and a clamping portion, the connecting portion is connected to the incomplete gear 11, and a clamping groove 13 is provided at the bottom end of the clamping portion, and the clamping groove 13 is in an inverted V shape or an arc shape.

[0034] In this embodiment, the positioning groove 16 is U-shaped, with one side of the positioning groove 16 being curved. The other side of the positioning groove 16 defines a screw hole, into which the positioning bolt 9 is installed. The width of the positioning groove 16 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the connecting rod journal 17. The tightening of the positioning bolt 9 ensures circumferential positioning of the connecting rod journal 17.

[0035] In this embodiment, the processing table 1 is provided with a plurality of dovetail grooves 7, and the first support seat 3, the second support seat 4, and the positioning block 8 are all slidably mounted on the dovetail grooves 7. This allows the positions of the first support seat 3, the second support seat 4, and the positioning block 8 on the processing table 1 to be adjusted, and can be adapted to the positioning and fixation of different crankshafts.

[0036] The working principle of a crankshaft deweighting hole positioning tool is as follows: the connecting rod journal 17 is placed in the positioning groove 16, and the two ends of the crankshaft are respectively placed in the V-groove 5 of the first support seat 3 and the V-groove 5 of the second support seat 4. The positions of the first support seat 3 and the second support seat 4 are adjusted so that the main journal 14 is located in the V-groove 8. The positioning bolt 9 is rotated so that the end located in the positioning groove 16 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod journal 17. At the same time, the cylinder 18 is started, and the piston rod of the cylinder 18 drives the rack 10 to move, the incomplete gear 11 rotates, and the clamping rod 12 gradually approaches the main journal 14 until the clamping groove 13 of the clamping rod 12 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the main journal 14, completing the fixation of the crankshaft and processing.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
