Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment, and in particular to a crankshaft testing device. Background Technology

[0002] The crankshaft is the most important component in an engine. It bears the force transmitted from the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other accessories on the engine. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force from the rotating mass, periodically changing gas inertial force, and reciprocating inertial force, resulting in bending and torsional loads. Therefore, the crankshaft is required to have sufficient strength and rigidity, and the journal surfaces must be wear-resistant, operate evenly, and have good balance.

[0003] In existing technology, to ensure the stability of engine operation, crankshafts often need to have their bending degree tested using testing equipment after production. Currently, when testing the bending degree of a crankshaft, the crankshaft needs to be placed on a symmetrical support base on the top surface of a flat plate, pre-adjusted according to the crankshaft length. Then, a magnetic gauge holder is placed on the flat plate, and the dial indicator is fixed to the magnetic gauge holder bracket. The position of the dial indicator is adjusted so that the gauge head is aligned with the main journal of the crankshaft and pre-pressed. Then, the two ends of the crankshaft on the support base are manually rotated to... During crankshaft rotation, the dial indicator is used to observe the data to determine if the crankshaft is bent, thus completing the crankshaft bending test. When testing crankshafts of different lengths, the positions of the tools required for each test need to be readjusted. As a result, the crankshaft bending test using the above method requires manual operation step by step, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, resulting in low efficiency in crankshaft bending test. At the same time, various errors that occur during manual testing reduce the accuracy of crankshaft testing. Utility Model Content

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the second cylinder is fixedly mounted on the left side wall of the fixed plate, and a side plate is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second cylinder.

[0020] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a crankshaft testing device includes a crankshaft body 1 and a testing platform 5.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, a first transverse opening 11 is provided on the right side of the inner bottom surface of the testing platform 5, and a base plate 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the testing platform 5.

After the connecting plate 15 drives the support plate 14 to move to the left in the inner bottom surface of the testing platform 5, the front end shaft 2 of the other end of the crankshaft body 1 passes through the through hole 16 opened on the support plate 14. It can support the crankshaft body 1 according to the length of the crankshaft body 1, so as to achieve the purpose of supporting and testing the integrity of crankshafts of different lengths.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, a fixing plate 17 is fixedly installed on the left side of the top surface of the testing table 5. The fixing plate 17 is used to fix the second cylinder 20.

[0024] like Figure 4As shown, the second cylinder 20 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the fixed plate 17, and a side plate 23 is fixedly installed on the output end of the second cylinder 20. A first L-shaped plate 21 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the side plate 23, and guide grooves 22 corresponding to guide bars 19 are respectively opened on the front and rear side walls of the horizontal part of the first L-shaped plate 21.

When the second cylinder 20 is turned on, the output end drives the first L-shaped plate 21 through the side plate 23. The first L-shaped plate 21 passes through the guide groove 22 and follows the guide bar 19 into the second transverse opening 18. After the dial indicator 28 is placed above the main journal of the crankshaft body 1, the third cylinder 24 is turned on to drive the output end to push the second L-shaped plate 26 downward. The slider 27 slides in the sliding opening 25. After the dial indicator 28 contacts the main journal to complete the preload, the bending degree of the crankshaft body 1 can be detected by the dial indicator 28 when the crankshaft body 1 is rotating. The dial indicator 28 is an electronic dial indicator.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a controller 6 is also fixedly installed on the right side wall of the testing platform 5, and the motor 8, the first cylinder 13, the second cylinder 20, the third cylinder 24 and the dial indicator 28 are electrically connected to the controller 6. The controller 6 can control the entire testing mechanism 7 to complete the rapid testing of the crankshaft body 1.

[0026] The specific operation of the testing agency 7 in detecting the curvature of the crankshaft body 1 is as follows:

[0027] First, the crankshaft body 1 is placed between the rotating disk 9 and the support plate 14. The positioning rod 10, mounted on the right side wall of the rotating disk 9, is inserted into the corresponding mounting hole 4 on the rear end shaft 3 mounted on the left end of the crankshaft body 1. Then, the controller 6 activates the first cylinder 13 mounted on the left side wall of the base plate 12. The first cylinder 13 drives the connecting plate 15 to slide within the first transverse opening 11. The connecting plate 15 then moves the support plate 14 synchronously on the inner bottom surface of the testing platform 5 until the front end shaft 2 mounted on the right end of the crankshaft body 1 passes through the through hole 16 on the side wall of the support plate 14. Afterward, the controller 6 activates the first cylinder 13 mounted on the left side wall of the base plate 12. The second cylinder 20, mounted on the left side wall of the fixed plate 17, is activated. The second cylinder 20 pushes the side plate 23 with its drive output end, causing the side plate 23 to move the first L-shaped plate 21 along the guide bar 19 through the guide groove 22 on the front and rear rear walls of the transverse portion, into the second transverse opening 18 on the top surface of the testing table 5, until the dial indicator 28's head moves above the main journal of the crankshaft body 1. Then, the third cylinder 24, mounted on the top surface of the transverse portion of the first L-shaped plate 21, is activated by a hexagonal crank. The third cylinder 24 pushes the second L-shaped plate 26 downwards with its drive output end. The second L-shaped plate 26, mounted on the rear wall of the transverse portion... The slider 27 will slide in the sliding opening 25 on the front wall of the vertical part of the first L-shaped plate 21 until the dial indicator 28 installed on the front wall of the vertical part of the second L-shaped plate 26 contacts the main journal of the crankshaft body 1 and completes the pre-load operation of the dial indicator 28. Finally, the motor 8 installed on the left side wall of the test bench 5 is turned on by the controller 6. The motor 8 will drive the output end to rotate the rotating disk 9. At this time, because the positioning rod 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 4, the rotating disk 9 will drive the crankshaft body 1 to rotate through the positioning rod 10. During the rotation, the crankshaft body 1 is judged by observing the change of the value displayed by the dial indicator 28. The bending degree of crankshaft body 1 can be detected by checking whether body 1 is bent. By adjusting the support plate 14, the bending degree of crankshaft body 1 of different lengths can be detected after support. Specifically, after the positioning rod 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 4, the controller 6 can complete the support of crankshaft body 1, the position adjustment of dial indicator 28, and the detection operation of crankshaft body 1 during rotation. This achieves the purpose of quickly detecting the bending degree of crankshaft body 1 of different lengths. The detection operation is simple, convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving, and no manual detection is required, thereby improving the detection efficiency and accuracy of crankshaft.

[0028] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
