[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a clearance adjustment mechanism for valve processing, including a rocker arm shaft 3, a rocker arm 1 mounted on the rocker arm shaft 3, a valve top cover 2 mounted on one side of the rocker arm 1, a mounting base 11 fixedly connected to one end of the valve top cover 2, a magnifying glass 9 mounted on the top of the mounting base 11, the magnifying glass 9 being located on one side of the rocker arm 1. This structure uses the magnifying glass 9 to magnify the indication of the pointer 10 and the adjustment scale 8 for easier and more intuitive viewing. The other side of the rocker arm 1 is located at the bottom of the adjusting nut 6, a connecting seat 15 fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting nut 6, and a blind hole is provided on one side of the connecting seat 15. This structure, through the adjusting nut 6, can limit the movement of the other side of the rocker arm 1. A magnifying glass 9 is installed at one end of the valve top cover 2, and an adjusting scale 8 is installed at the other end of the magnifying glass 9. A pointer 10 is installed on one side of the rocker arm 1, and the pointer 10 corresponds to the scale line on the adjusting scale 8. A push rod top seat 7 is installed on the other side of the rocker arm 1, and a fine-tuning screw 4 is installed on the push rod top seat 7. An adjusting nut 6 is connected to the outer wall of the fine-tuning screw 4, and a fixing bracket 5 is fixed to the outer wall of the fine-tuning screw 4. A blind hole is opened on one side of the fixing bracket 5, and the structure of the blind hole of the fixing bracket 5 is the same as that of the connecting seat 15. This structure facilitates the insertion of the rod 12. The lower insert rod 14 is connected to the fixed bracket 5 and the connecting seat 15. The upper insert rod 12 and the lower insert rod 14 are respectively inserted into one side of the adjusting nut 6 and the fixed bracket 5. The valve clearance can be measured by adjusting the scale 8, and the pointer 10 indicates the scale position of the valve clearance. Rectangular protrusions are provided on the inner sides of both the upper insert rod 12 and the lower insert rod 14. These rectangular protrusions match the blind hole structure of the fixed bracket 5 and the connecting seat 15. This structure, by inserting the inner protrusions of the upper insert rod 12 and the lower insert rod 14 into the fixed bracket 5 and the connecting seat 15, can limit the rotation of the fine-tuning screw 4 and the adjusting nut 6. Both rod 12 and lower insertion rod 14 have threaded holes at one end, and an adjusting screw 13 is connected inside the threaded holes. This structure facilitates the connection of the adjusting screw 13 with the upper insertion rod 12 and lower insertion rod 14. The adjusting screw 13 forms a threaded connection with both the upper insertion rod 12 and lower insertion rod 14. This structure allows the spacing between the upper insertion rod 12 and lower insertion rod 14 to be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 13, ensuring that the upper insertion rod 12 and lower insertion rod 14 can be connected to the fine-tuning screw 4 and adjusting nut 6 after adjustment by the fine-tuning screw 4, thus ensuring that the upper insertion rod 12 and lower insertion rod 14 restrict the rotation of the fine-tuning screw 4 and adjusting nut 6.

[0023] Working principle: When using this valve clearance adjustment mechanism, first pull out the upper insert rod 12 and lower insert rod 14 from one side of the fine-tuning screw 4 and adjusting nut 6. Then, fix the adjusting nut 6 with a tool wrench, and use another tool wrench to rotate the fine-tuning screw 4 for adjustment. During the adjustment of the fine-tuning screw 4, the valve clearance between the bottom side of the rocker arm 1 and the valve top cover 2 changes. As the height of one side of the rocker arm 1 changes, the position of the pointer 10 on the bottom side of the rocker arm 1 adjusts, indicating the position of different scale lines on the adjustment scale 8. The operator can quickly adjust the valve clearance by observing the adjustment scale 8 and pointer 10 displayed on the magnifying glass 9. After the valve clearance is adjusted, use the upper insert rod 12 and lower insert rod 14 to insert into the fine-tuning screw 4 and adjusting nut 6, thereby limiting the fine-tuning screw 4 and adjusting nut 6 to prevent loosening.

[0024] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
