Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of crankshaft processing equipment, and more specifically, to a quick inspection tool for the position of crankshaft oil holes. Background Technology
[0002] Crankshaft oil holes refer to the holes on the crankshaft connecting rod journals and main journals. They are oil passages for lubricating the friction pairs of moving parts such as the engine crankshaft, camshaft, and piston pins, using a forced lubrication mode. That is, the engine oil pump draws oil from the oil pan and distributes it to each friction pair through the main oil passage, ensuring lubrication, heat dissipation, and cleaning of the friction pairs.
[0003] After machining oil holes on the crankshaft, the position of the oil holes needs to be inspected, mainly by measuring the distance between the oil holes and both ends of the connecting rod journal (or main journal). Common inspection methods include measuring with vernier calipers, but this can only measure oil holes in the connecting rod journal and cannot measure oil holes in the main journal. A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) can also be used, but this takes too long to inspect each oil hole, which would be very time-consuming and labor-intensive for large-scale inspections. Therefore, a more efficient, time-saving, and labor-saving crankshaft oil hole inspection tool can be designed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick inspection tool for the location of crankshaft oil holes, which can efficiently detect crankshaft oil holes.
[0005] The embodiments of this utility model are achieved through the following technical solution: The crankshaft oil hole position quick inspection tool of this utility model includes a limiting rod, a fixing plate fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod, a through hole opened in the fixing plate along the length direction of the fixing plate, a top plate slidably disposed in the through hole, and a scale line disposed on the side of the top plate away from the limiting rod; the limiting rod is inserted into the oil hole of the crankshaft, and one side of the top plate is disposed outside the through hole.
[0006] Furthermore, the end of the limiting rod away from the fixed plate is tapered.
[0007] Furthermore, the fixing plate is arc-shaped and fits against the outer wall of the connecting rod journal of the crankshaft.
[0008] Furthermore, the top plate is provided in pairs, both of which are slidably disposed within the through hole, and the pair of top plates are respectively disposed at both ends of the through hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the pair of top plates are connected by a spring; the spring is disposed within the through hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the spring is provided in pairs, with the pair of springs respectively located on both sides of the fixed plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a sliding hole is provided on the side of the fixing plate away from the limiting rod, and the sliding hole is connected to the through hole; a lever is provided at the end of each pair of top plates that are close to each other, and the lever is located in the sliding hole.
[0012] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects: The crankshaft oil hole position quick inspection tool of this utility model allows for direct insertion of the limiting rod into the oil hole of the crankshaft connecting rod journal. Then, the top plate is slid to fit against the walls at both ends of the crankshaft connecting rod journal. The position of the oil hole can then be quickly determined by reading the scale lines on the top plate. This significantly improves the efficiency of crankshaft oil hole quality inspection, enabling efficient batch quality inspection of crankshaft oil holes without requiring highly specialized skills from workers. Furthermore, for oil holes of different diameters, only a matching limiting rod needs to be replaced, thus allowing for good adaptation and use for various crankshaft models.

[0026] Example
[0027] The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, further illustrates the point, as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6As shown, the crankshaft oil hole position quick inspection tool of this embodiment includes a limiting rod 21, a fixing plate 22 fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod 21, a through hole 23 opened in the fixing plate 22 along the length direction of the fixing plate 22, a top plate 25 slidably disposed in the through hole 23, and a scale line 26 disposed on the side of the top plate 25 away from the limiting rod 21; the limiting rod 21 is inserted into the oil hole 13 of the crankshaft 11, and one side of the top plate 25 is disposed outside the through hole 23. Specifically, in use, the limiting rod 21 can be directly inserted into the oil hole 13 of the connecting rod neck 12 of the crankshaft 11, and then the top plate 25 is slid so that the top plate 25 fits against the walls at both ends of the connecting rod neck 12 of the crankshaft 11. At this time, the position of the oil hole 13 can be quickly determined by the reading of the scale line 26 on the top plate 25. It can significantly improve the quality inspection efficiency of the oil hole 13 of crankshaft 11, and can also efficiently complete the batch quality inspection of the oil hole 13 of crankshaft 11, without requiring workers to have high professional skills. In addition, for oil holes 13 of different diameters, only the matching limit rod 21 needs to be replaced, so it can be well adapted for use on various models of crankshaft 11.
[0028] In this embodiment, the end of the limiting rod 21 furthest from the fixing plate 22 is tapered. Specifically, this allows the limiting rod 21 to be inserted into the oil hole 13 more quickly.
[0029] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 22 is arc-shaped and fits against the outer wall of the connecting rod neck 12 of the crankshaft 11. Specifically, this can better fix the position of the fixing plate 22, so that when the top plate 25 moves, its movement direction can be better along the axis of the crankshaft 11, and the top plate 25 can fit more precisely and fully against the inner wall of the connecting rod.
[0030] In this embodiment, a pair of top plates 25 are provided, both of which are slidably disposed within the through hole 23, and the pair of top plates 25 are respectively disposed at both ends of the through hole 23. Specifically, by simultaneously positioning the position of the oil hole 13 using the pair of top plates 25, it is possible to more efficiently determine whether the position of the oil hole 13 is centered.
[0031] In this embodiment, a pair of top plates 25 are connected by springs 27; the springs 27 are located within the through hole 23. A pair of springs 27 are provided, each located on one side of the fixing plate 22. Specifically, this eliminates the need to manually press the top plates 25 against the inner wall of the connecting rod neck 12; the springs 27 allow the top plates 25 to adhere to the inner wall of the connecting rod neck 12. This makes the entire operation more efficient, faster, and more standardized.
[0032] In this embodiment, the fixed plate 22 has a sliding hole 24 on the side away from the limiting rod 21, and the sliding hole 24 is connected to the through hole 23; each of the pair of top plates 25 has a paddle 28 at one end close to each other, and the paddle 28 is located in the sliding hole 24. Specifically, since the spring 27 pushes the pair of top plates 25 to both sides, in the natural state, the distance between the two edges of the pair of top plates 25 is greater than the length between the two inner walls of the crankshaft 11 connecting rod neck 12. Therefore, before attaching the fixed plate 22 to the connecting rod neck 12, the pair of paddles 28 can be pinched with fingers to gather the pair of top plates 25, so that they can smoothly enter between the inner walls of the connecting rod neck 12.
[0033] In summary, the crankshaft oil hole position quick inspection tool of this embodiment allows for direct insertion of the limiting rod 21 into the oil hole 13 of the connecting rod neck 12 of the crankshaft 11. Then, the top plate 25 is slid to fit against the walls at both ends of the connecting rod neck 12. The position of the oil hole 13 can then be quickly determined by reading the scale line 26 on the top plate 25. This significantly improves the quality inspection efficiency of the crankshaft 11 oil hole 13, enabling efficient batch quality inspection of the crankshaft 11 oil hole 13 without requiring highly specialized skills from workers. Furthermore, for oil holes 13 of different diameters, only the corresponding limiting rod 21 needs to be replaced, thus allowing for good compatibility with various crankshaft 11 models.
[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
