DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a flywheel connecting structure, including crankshaft assembly 2, flywheel 1, bearing 3 and a plurality of first bolt 4;

[0035] Flywheel 1 has inner hole 11 and a plurality of first connecting hole 12 which are arranged around inner hole 11, a plurality of first connecting hole 12 correspond with a plurality of first bolt 4 one by one, along the radial direction of flywheel 1, the area with recess 111 of the side wall of inner hole 11 opposite to first connecting hole 12;

[0036] First bolt 4 passes through corresponding first connecting hole 12 and is connected with the end of crankshaft assembly 2, so that flywheel 1 is connected with the end of crankshaft assembly 2;

[0037] The bearing 3 is located in the inner hole 11, and the outer ring of the bearing 3 is tightly matched with the side wall of the inner hole 11, and the recess 111 on the side wall of the inner hole 11 has a gap with the outer ring of the bearing 3.

[0038] The flywheel 1 has the inner hole 11 and a plurality of first connecting holes 12 arranged around the inner hole 11, the bearing 3 is located in the inner hole 11, the flywheel 1 is installed on the crankshaft assembly 2 by the first bolt 4 passing through the first connecting hole 12, the first bolt 4 is tightened by the angle method, a larger axial force is generated on the flywheel 1, the inner hole 11 of the flywheel 1 is deformed greatly, and since the recess 111 is arranged on the side wall of the inner hole 11 and opposite to the first connecting hole 12, the gap between the recess 111 and the outer ring of the bearing 3 can prevent the deformation of the inner hole 11 of the flywheel 1 from compressing the outer ring of the bearing 3 during the tightening of the flywheel 1, and the jamming of the bearing 3 is prevented.

[0039] Specifically, the tightly matched outer ring of the bearing 3 and the side wall of the inner hole 11 can be an interference fit between the outer ring of the bearing 3 and the side wall of the inner hole 11.

[0040] In the embodiment of the utility model, the recess 111 can be arc-shaped, or other shapes, which is not limited here and is determined according to the actual situation.

[0041] In the embodiment of the utility model, the first connecting hole 12 can be evenly distributed around the inner hole 11, which can ensure the reliability of the flywheel 1 and the crankshaft 2.

[0042] In the embodiment of the utility model, the crankshaft assembly 2 can include a crankshaft 21, the first bolt 4 is connected with the end of the crankshaft 21, and the connection between the flywheel 1 and the end of the crankshaft assembly 2 is realized.

[0043] Alternatively, the crankshaft assembly 2 can also include a crankshaft 21 and a gear 22 sleeved on the end of the crankshaft 21, the first bolt 4 can pass through the gear 22 and be connected with the end of the crankshaft 21, or the first bolt 4 is connected with the gear 22, realizing the connection between the flywheel 1 and the end of the crankshaft assembly 2.

[0044] In the embodiment of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the bearing 3 at the inner hole 11 of the flywheel 1 abuts against the end of the crankshaft assembly 2; the flywheel connecting structure can also include at least one positioning spring 5 and at least one second bolt 6 corresponding to the positioning spring 5 one by one;

[0045] The positioning spring 5 can include a connecting portion 51 and a limiting portion 52; the connecting portion 51 is located on the side of the flywheel 1 away from the crankshaft assembly 2 and extends along the radial direction of the flywheel 1, the first end of the connecting portion 51 is provided with a second connecting hole 511, and the connecting portion 51 is fixedly connected with the flywheel 1 by penetrating the second connecting hole 511 by the second bolt 6; the limiting portion 52 is connected with the second end of the connecting portion 51, and the limiting portion 52 is bent towards the bearing 3 at the edge of the inner hole 11; and the end of the limiting portion 52 can abut against the outer ring of the bearing 3.

[0046] Since the thickness of the flywheel 1 is thin, the groove of the circlip cannot be designed to axially position the bearing 3 of the flywheel 1. When the flywheel 1 or the flywheel bolt is used for axial positioning, the flywheel 1 needs to be disassembled for subsequent bearing 3 replacement, the process is complex, the maintenance cost is high, and the flywheel bolt cannot guarantee the torque tightening process on the market, and the reliability is at risk.

[0047] In the flywheel connecting structure, one end of the positioning spring 5 is installed on the flywheel 1 by the second bolt 6, and the other end of the positioning spring 5 can axially position the bearing 3 by the elasticity of the positioning spring 5. When the bearing 3 needs to be replaced due to failure, the flywheel 1 does not need to be disassembled, the bearing 3 can be taken out, time and labor are saved, the torque process of the first bolt 4 is guaranteed, the problem that the pre-tightening force of the first bolt 4 cannot meet the requirements when the flywheel 1 is reinstalled is avoided, and the reliability of the flywheel connecting structure is improved.

[0048] In the flywheel connecting structure, at least two positioning springs 5 can be included; the at least two positioning springs 5 can be uniformly distributed around the inner hole 11, and the positioning of the bearing 3 by the positioning spring 5 can be ensured.

[0049] For example, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The flywheel connecting structure has three positioning springs 5 uniformly distributed around the inner hole.

[0050] Specifically, the uniform distribution of the at least two positioning springs 5 around the inner hole 11 means that the included angle between the extension directions of any two adjacent positioning springs 5 is equal.

[0051] In the flywheel connecting structure, the connecting portion 51 of the positioning spring 5 is located between the two first bolts 4, the positioning spring 5 is convenient to set, the structure is simple, and the flywheel connecting structure is easy to assemble.

[0052] Optionally, the connecting portion 51 of the positioning spring 5 can be located on the side away from the crankshaft assembly 2 of the first bolt 4, that is, the positioning spring 5 can pass over the first bolt 4, and when there is no space between the first bolts 4, the positioning spring 5 is convenient to set.

[0053] In the embodiment of the utility model, the flywheel 1 can have a third connecting hole 13 opposite to the second connecting hole 511, and the second bolt 6 passes through the second connecting hole 511 and is connected with the third connecting hole 13, so that the positioning elastic sheet 5 is connected with the flywheel 1, and the structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0054] Specifically, when the connecting part 51 of the positioning elastic sheet 5 is located on the side away from the crankshaft assembly 2 of the first bolt 4, the second bolt 6 can also be assembled on the first bolt 4, and the positioning elastic sheet 5 is fixedly connected with the flywheel 1 through the connection of the second bolt 6 and the first bolt 4.

[0055] Specifically, the material of the positioning elastic sheet 5 can be metal material.
