[0019] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model, but not to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0020] The preferred embodiment of the positioning tool for reciprocating compressor piston rod subsidence probe installation of the utility model is as follows, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the positioning tool for mounting the piston rod subsidence probe of the reciprocating compressor includes a positioning part 1 and a calibration part 2. The positioning part 1 is used to position the relative position of the subsidence probe 4 and the piston rod 3, and the calibration part 2 is used to calibrate the arrangement angle of the positioning tool to ensure that the subsidence probe 4 is located directly above the piston rod 3. In this embodiment, the positioning part 1 and the calibration part 2 are integrally formed, which are made of stainless steel and have a roughness Ra of 1.6.

[0021] The positioning part 1 has a sleeving hole 11 which is used to be sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 3 in the radial direction of the piston rod 3. That is, when the positioning part 1 is assembled with the piston rod 3, the sleeving hole 11 is an open structure in the radial direction of the piston rod 3, and the piston rod 3 enters the sleeving hole 11 through the open structure. In this embodiment, the positioning part 1 is a semi-circular ring structure, and the sleeving hole 11 is a half hole to realize the radial sleeving of the positioning part 1 and the piston rod 3. The sleeving hole 11 is sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 3 in the radial direction of the piston rod 3, which facilitates the disassembly of the positioning tool and is simple to operate.

[0022] The sleeving hole 11 has a first hole wall 111 which is in a circular arc structure and has an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the piston rod 3. After the positioning part 1 is sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 3, the first hole wall 111 is in contact with the outer wall of the piston rod 3. Since the inner diameter of the first hole wall 111 is equal to the outer diameter of the piston rod 3, it can be ensured that the first hole wall 111 is in contact with the outer wall of the piston rod 3, and also ensures that the center of the sleeving hole 11 is the center of the piston rod 3, thereby limiting the position of the positioning part 1.

[0023] The positioning part 1 also has an assembly hole 12 which is used to mount the subsidence probe 4. The center line of the assembly hole 12 passes through the center of the first hole wall 111, that is, the theoretical extension line of the center line of the assembly hole 12 passes through the center line of the first hole wall 111. Since the center of the first hole wall 111 is on the center line of the piston rod 3, when the subsidence probe 4 is assembled in the assembly hole 12, the center line of the subsidence probe 4 passes through the center line of the piston rod 3, is in a straight line with the center of the cross section of the piston rod 3 and is perpendicular to the piston rod 3.

[0024] The positioning part 1 also has a positioning structure 13 which is used to stop the assembly of the subsidence probe 4 in the axial direction of the assembly hole 12. When the subsidence probe 4 is mounted in the assembly hole 12, the positioning structure 13 limits the axial position of the subsidence probe 4, ensures the axial position of the subsidence probe 4 after being mounted in the assembly hole 12, and also ensures that the distance between the subsidence probe 4 and the first hole wall 111 is a certain value, which is also the initial distance between the subsidence probe 4 and the outer wall of the piston rod 3.

[0025] The calibration part 2 has a reference surface 21, and the center line of the assembly hole 12 is perpendicular to the reference surface 21. When the subsidence probe 4 is installed, the operator can place a level on the reference surface 21, and after rotating the positioning tool circumferentially, the angle of the reference surface 21 can be adjusted. When the reference surface 21 is in the horizontal position, the subsidence probe 4 is directly above the piston rod 3, and the orientation of the subsidence probe 4 is accurate.

[0026] When the subsidence probe 4 is installed, the positioning part 1 is radially sleeved on the piston rod 3 through the sleeving hole 11, which is convenient for disassembly. The first hole wall 111 of the sleeving hole 11 is in contact with the outer wall of the piston rod 3. The operator can install the subsidence probe 4 in the assembly hole 12. Since the center line of the assembly hole 12 of the positioning part 1 passes through the center of the first hole wall 111 of the sleeving hole 11, the center line of the subsidence probe 4 must pass through the center of the piston rod 3, ensuring that the theoretical extension line of the center of the subsidence probe 4 passes through the center of the cross section of the piston rod 3. At the same time, the operator can detect the levelness of the reference surface 21. Since the reference surface 21 is perpendicular to the center line of the assembly hole 12, when the reference surface 21 is horizontal, the assembly hole 12 and the subsidence probe 4 inside it are necessarily located directly above the piston rod 3. In addition, after the subsidence probe 4 is in contact with the positioning structure 13, the distance between the subsidence probe 4 and the center of the sleeving hole 11 is a fixed value, which ensures the accurate installation position and orientation of the subsidence probe 4, and also ensures that the initial distance between the subsidence probe 4 and the piston rod 3 is a set value.

[0027] Preferably, the assembly hole 12 is a half hole opened towards the calibration part 2, and the inner diameter of the half hole is equal to the diameter of the subsidence probe 4.

[0028] The assembly hole 12 adopts a half hole structure and is opened towards the calibration part 2. When the subsidence probe 4 is installed, the subsidence probe 4 can be directly installed in the assembly hole 12 along its radial direction, which is convenient for installation and disassembly. The inner diameter of the half hole is equal to the diameter of the subsidence probe 4. After the subsidence probe 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the assembly hole 12, the center line of the subsidence probe 4 can be ensured to coincide with the center line of the assembly hole 12, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the subsidence probe 4.

[0029] Preferably, the positioning structure 13 is arranged at one end of the assembly hole 12 close to the first hole wall 111, and the positioning structure 13 is in abutment with the end surface of the subsidence probe 4.

[0030] The positioning structure 13 is in abutment with the end surface of the subsidence probe 4, which simplifies the assembly form of the positioning structure 13 and the subsidence probe 4. In this embodiment, the positioning structure 13 can also be the end portion of the assembly hole 12 away from the first hole wall 111, and the positioning structure 13 is in abutment with the outer edge of the subsidence probe 4.

[0031] Preferably, the positioning structure 13 is a boss, the boss is a semicircular structure, and the boss is coaxially arranged with the assembly hole 12.

[0032] The positioning structure 13 is in the form of a boss, and the boss is a semicircular structure, which can be formed by the hole bottom structure of the assembly hole 12, and is convenient to process.

[0033] Preferably, the boss has a first wall surface and a second wall surface, the first wall surface and the second wall surface are arranged in parallel and spaced along the center line of the assembly hole 12, the first wall surface is used to abut against the sinking probe 4, and the second wall surface is smoothly transitioned with the first hole wall 111, and the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface is 5 mm.

[0034] The first wall surface of the boss abuts against the sinking probe 4, and the second wall surface is smoothly transitioned with the first hole wall 111, so that the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface is the initial distance between the sinking probe and the piston rod 3 after the sinking probe is assembled, and the first wall surface and the second wall surface enable the operator to accurately control the distance between the sinking probe 4 and the piston rod 3. In the embodiment, the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface is 5 mm, and the size of 5 mm is the reference size when the existing sinking probe 4 is installed.

[0035] Preferably, the calibration part 2 comprises a main section 22 and a reference section 23 connected with the main section 22, the main section 22 is connected with the positioning part 1, the reference section 23 is in a stepped structure with the main section 22, and the reference section 23 forms the reference surface 21 towards the end surface of the assembly hole 12.

[0036] The main section 22 and the reference section 23 of the calibration part 2 are in a stepped structure, and the height difference at the stepped structure can be used to accommodate the level meter, so that the level meter is provided with an assembly space, and the use is convenient and the operation is simple.

[0037] In summary, the positioning tool for installing the sinking probe of the piston rod of the reciprocating compressor provided in the embodiment of the utility model, when the sinking probe is installed, the positioning part is radially sleeved on the piston rod through the sleeving hole, the radial sleeving is convenient to disassemble, the first hole wall of the sleeving hole is attached to the outer wall of the piston rod, the operator can install the sinking probe in the assembly hole, since the center line of the assembly hole of the positioning part passes through the center of the first hole wall of the sleeving hole, the center line of the sinking probe must pass through the center of the piston rod, so that the theoretical extension line of the center of the sinking probe passes through the center of the sectional circle of the piston rod, and meanwhile the operator can detect the levelness of the reference surface, since the reference surface is perpendicular to the center line of the assembly hole, when the reference surface is level, the assembly hole and the sinking probe inside the assembly hole must be located directly above the piston rod, in addition, after the sinking probe is in contact with the positioning structure, the distance between the sinking probe and the center of the sleeving hole is a determined value, so that the installation position and orientation of the sinking probe are accurate, and the initial distance between the sinking probe and the piston rod is also a set value.

[0038] The above merely is the preferred implementation form of the present application, and it should be noted that, for the ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and substitutions can be made, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
