[0018] In some embodiments, the gasket sleeve includes a circular block with two arc-shaped lugs at its bottom. The two arc-shaped lugs are symmetrically arranged about one diameter of the circular block to form the gasket groove. The telescopic abutment is provided on each of the two arc-shaped lugs. A connecting cylinder is provided at the top of the circular block and is rotatably inserted into the rotating sleeve. The injector clearance groove passes through the circular block and extends into the connecting cylinder.

[0019] In some embodiments, the telescopic abutment includes a screw; a first threaded hole is provided on the outer peripheral side of the cylinder.

[0020] In some embodiments, the top of the adjusting screw is provided with a throttle.

This process uses the rotation of the adjusting screw to convert circular motion into linear motion, achieving constant and uniform force during pressing. Furthermore, by controlling the number of rotations, the injector gasket can be pressed into the standard position. This avoids the problems that occur when using a sleeve to hammer the gasket, which can damage the gasket sealing surface and leave indentations if too much force is applied, or if too little force is applied and the gasket is not pressed into the standard position, resulting in large accuracy deviations and difficulty in fully controlling assembly quality.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In engine combustion development tests, adjusting the thickness of the gasket is intended to simulate the impact of cylinder head size deviations and changes in injector protrusion on the engine, as well as the effects on fuel consumption, smoke opacity, and NOx, in actual production, and to verify the engine's robustness. Therefore, injector gaskets are often replaced frequently.

[0035] Traditional injector gasket pressing mainly relies on matching the injector gasket size with a sleeve, and then tapping the sleeve to press the injector gasket in place. The tapping force is determined by experience, which can lead to the following problems:

[0036] (1) Excessive force will damage the gasket sealing surface and cause it to leave indentations; insufficient force will not ensure that the gasket is pressed into the standard position, resulting in large precision deviation and making it difficult to fully control the assembly quality.

[0037] (2) Used injectors are covered with carbon deposits, making them difficult to disassemble and reassemble using existing tools, resulting in low efficiency.

[0038] To address the above issues, this application provides a tool for removing and installing injector gaskets, which will be explained in detail below.

[0039] Firstly, it addresses the problem that the force used in related technologies to install injector gaskets with a sleeve and hammering is difficult to control, leading to gasket damage or being pressed into the standard position.

[0040] Please see Figures 1-3 A tool for removing and installing fuel injector gaskets, comprising:

[0041] Support 1 has a receiving groove on its outer periphery for holding the fuel injector;

[0042] Adjusting screw 4 is threaded to support 1, and its bottom end extends vertically from the top of support 1 into the receiving groove;

[0043] The gasket sleeve 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the adjusting screw 4, and its bottom is provided with a gasket groove 6, and the top wall of the gasket groove 6 is provided with an injector clearance groove.

[0044] In use, the injector is placed in the receiving groove for positioning to ensure that the injector and the gasket groove 6 are coaxial. Then, the injector gasket is placed into the gasket groove 6, and the adjusting screw 4 is rotated to gradually move the gasket sleeve 5 downward to press the injector gasket onto the injector. The above process uses the rotation of the adjusting screw 4 to convert the circular motion into linear motion, so as to achieve constant and uniform force during the pressing process. That is, when the magnitude of the rotational force applied to the adjusting screw 4 is uneven, the overall vertical displacement of the adjusting screw is not affected by the force, but by the number of rotations. Therefore, the uniformity of the force during pressing can be guaranteed. In addition, by utilizing the self-locking structural characteristics of the adjusting screw 4, the number of rotations can be controlled to ensure that the injector gasket is pressed into the standard position, providing guidance for the pressing process and allowing the degree of pressing to be known. This avoids the problems that occur when using a sleeve to press the gasket, where excessive force will damage the gasket sealing surface and leave indentations, while insufficient force will fail to ensure that the gasket is pressed into the standard position, resulting in large accuracy deviations and making it difficult to fully control the assembly quality.

[0045] In some preferred embodiments, to ensure that the injector and the gasket groove 6 remain coaxial during the process of the adjusting screw 4 pushing the gasket sleeve 5 downward, the following settings are made:

[0046] The support 1 has a guide channel located above the receiving groove inside;

[0047] The adjusting screw 4 extends vertically through the guide channel from the top of the support 1 and into the receiving groove; in the guide channel, and on both sides of the adjusting screw 4, there are guide members 11 that are connected to the gasket sleeve 5.

[0048] The guide component 11 ensures that the gasket sleeve 5 will not shift during movement, further guaranteeing the accuracy of the pressing position.

[0049] The guide channel has a vertical limiting groove 100 on its side wall;

[0050] The guide 11 includes a vertical plate, on which a guide slider 1101 that slides within the vertical limiting groove 100 is connected. This design limits the downward movement of the gasket sleeve 5, preventing excessive rotation of the adjusting screw 4 and thus avoiding over-pressing. It also further ensures the accuracy of the pressing position.

[0051] In some preferred embodiments, the press-fit process has been described above. To address the problems of carbon deposits on used injectors, making disassembly and assembly difficult and inefficient using existing tools, the following settings are provided:

[0052] First, we should understand that the injector gasket for each experiment is a disposable part. Therefore, there is no need to consider damage during removal. Thus, to enable the press-fitting tool to perform disassembly, and based on considerations of reducing design costs and simplifying the structure, the following solution was designed:

[0053] A rotating sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting screw 4;

[0054] The top of the gasket pressure sleeve 5 is rotatably inserted into the rotating sleeve 9. The guide 11 is provided with a lifting block 1102 for contacting the top of the rotating sleeve 9. The gasket pressure sleeve 5 is provided with a telescopic support member, which is used to support the injector gasket in the gasket pressure groove 6.

[0055] During the pressing process, the telescopic support does not press the injector gasket in the gasket groove 6. The adjusting screw 4 is rotated to move the gasket sleeve 5 downward, thus pressing the injector gasket into the appropriate position. When disassembly is required, the telescopic support presses the injector gasket in the gasket groove 6 and locks the injector gasket in the gasket groove 6. Then, the adjusting screw 4 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the rotating sleeve 9 moves upward, eventually pressing against the lifting block 1102. This can drive the injector gasket and the gasket sleeve 5 to be pulled upward as a whole, thereby completing the disassembly. This solves the problem of carbon deposits adhering to used injectors, making disassembly and assembly difficult and inefficient with existing tools.

[0056] Furthermore, to simplify the structure, the structural form of the gasket sleeve 5 is explained as follows:

[0057] The first type includes a gasket sleeve 5 comprising a cylinder with a closed top and an open bottom to form a gasket groove 6; a telescopic support member is provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder; a connecting cylinder 10 is provided at the top of the cylinder, and the connecting cylinder 10 is rotatably inserted into the rotating sleeve 9; an injector clearance groove passes through the top of the cylinder and extends into the connecting cylinder 10.

[0058] The second type includes a gasket pressure sleeve 5 comprising a circular block with two arc-shaped lugs 8 at its bottom. These lugs 8 are symmetrically arranged about one diameter of the circular block to form a gasket pressure groove 6. Each of the two arc-shaped lugs 8 has a telescopic support member. A connecting cylinder 10 is located at the top of the circular block and is rotatably inserted into a rotating sleeve 9. An injector clearance groove passes through the circular block and extends into the connecting cylinder 10. This second type of structure facilitates the removal of the injector gasket from the gasket pressure groove 6.

[0059] Both of the above structures are realized. The connecting cylinder 10 is rotatably inserted into the rotating sleeve 9, avoiding the design of a complex connection structure. By cooperating with the lifting block 1102, the overall upward pulling action can be achieved, which also facilitates the assembly of the entire injector gasket disassembly and assembly tool.

[0060] The telescopic support component includes screws; a first threaded hole 7 is provided on the outer circumference of the cylinder. This structure maximizes the structure of the telescopic support component, simplifies the design, reduces costs, and meets design requirements.

[0061] In some preferred embodiments, the top of the adjusting screw 4 is provided with a handle 12; the handle 12 facilitates the rotation of the adjusting screw 4; the top of the support 1 is provided with a mounting block 101, the mounting block 101 having a vertical threaded hole that communicates with the guide channel and is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 4. This embodiment details the installation position.

[0062] The support 1 includes a vertical plate portion 102, and the bottom of the vertical plate portion 102 is connected to two horizontal plate portions 103 that are spaced apart, and the two horizontal plate portions 103 form a second working groove 3.

[0063] The top of the vertical plate portion 102 is provided with a rectangular block portion 104 located directly above the horizontal plate portion 103, and the mounting block 101 is provided on the rectangular block portion 104; a first working groove 2 is formed between the rectangular block portion 104 and the horizontal plate portion 103; the first working groove 2 and the second working groove 3 form a receiving groove.

[0064] The vertical plate 102 is provided with scale markings that are parallel to the adjusting screw 4.

[0065] In this embodiment, the support 1 structure is described as a whole, and the structure of the receiving groove is described in detail so that it can limit the receiving of the injector. In addition, the scale markings can further assist in judging whether the pressing position is accurate, avoiding the need to count the number of turns for confirmation.

[0066] In summary, the injector gasket removal and installation tool transforms circular motion into linear motion, allowing for smooth up-and-down movement of the flat pressing surface without unnecessary movement, minimizing surface damage to parts caused by the tool. Precise adjustments to the scale markings ensure accurate positioning for each installation. Combined with guide 11, rotating sleeve 9, and telescopic support, it enables quick removal of the injector gasket.
