[0057] The following is a detailed description of the process of installing a crankshaft oil seal on a crankshaft using the crankshaft oil seal installation fixture of this utility model:

[0058] First, connect screw 1 to fixing block 7, and then fix fixing block 7 on crankshaft; then install pressure sleeve 6 between support block 5 and adjusting block 4, and sleeve support block 5 on screw 1. At this time, rotate adjusting block 4 to drive pressure sleeve 6 to move radially along the radial direction of support block 5, thereby realizing the adjustment of the radial position of pressure sleeve 6. After adjusting to the appropriate position, screw the threaded section 91 of rotating sleeve 9, and pressure sleeve 6 moves axially along screw 1 to press crankshaft oil seal to the appropriate position.

[0059] When the smooth part 222 of the pin 22 engages with the pressure cap 3, the pin 22 can move within the corresponding arc-shaped hole 41, and the handle 21 and the pin 22 can operate the adjusting block 4 to rotate, thereby causing the pressure sleeve 6 to perform radial opening and closing movements; when the threaded part 221 of the pin 22 engages with the pressure cap 3, the pin 22 cannot move within the corresponding arc-shaped hole 41, and the handle 21 and the pin 22 cannot operate the adjusting block 4 to rotate, thereby preventing the pressure sleeve 6 from performing radial opening and closing movements.

[0060] The crankshaft oil seal installation fixture of this utility model uses a rotating adjusting block 4 to drive the pressure sleeve split body 6 to move radially, thereby adjusting the working diameter of the pressure sleeve split body 6. This achieves the universality of the crankshaft oil seal installation fixture, reduces the number of crankshaft oil seal installation fixtures, and lowers development costs and service station procurement costs.

[0061] The technical features with serial numbers mentioned in this manual (such as roller A, roller B, etc.) are only for distinguishing each technical feature and do not represent the positional relationship, installation sequence, or working sequence of the technical features.

[0062] In the description of this specification, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship described by terms such as "outer peripheral surface", "upper side", "above", and "upper part" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. It is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
