[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine sealing test technology, specifically to a crankshaft sealing device for engine sealing test. Background Technology

[0002] An engine is mainly composed of three parts: cylinder block, cylinder head, and crankshaft. After the machining of these three parts is completed, the engine is assembled on the assembly line. After assembly, a sealing test, also known as a leak test, is required. There are six threaded holes on the flange face at one end of the crankshaft. These six threaded holes need to be sealed in order to complete the sealing test.

[0003] According to a public notice (CN218994629U) regarding a crankshaft sealing test device for engines, in the automatic operation mode of the aforementioned application, the cylinder extends and retracts to drive the sealing disc to seal the six threaded holes at the large end of the engine crankshaft. When switching to manual mode, the manual control unit is manually pushed and pulled to seal the six threaded holes at the large end of the engine crankshaft. The dual pneumatic and manual operation modes ensure production cycle time and improve work efficiency.

[0004] However, after the cylinder is damaged, it cannot extend or retract, and the sealing mechanism cannot be moved manually. Furthermore, when the sealing mechanism contacts the crankshaft big end, it requires continuous manual pressure, which can easily cause fatigue for the workers. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the moving platform has a through hole, and a guide rod slides in the through hole. One end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate, and the other end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to a positioning block, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the pressure plate has a through hole, and a positioning rod is slidably connected in the through hole, the end of the positioning rod being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove.

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a crankshaft sealing device for engine sealing tests, including a platform 1, a guide rail 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the platform 1, a slider 3 slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 2, a support plate 4 fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 3, multiple arrayed positioning grooves 41 formed on the surface of the support plate 4, a bracket 11 fixedly connected to the surface of the platform 1, a cylinder 12 fixedly connected to the side wall of the bracket 11, the output shaft of the cylinder 12 passing through and slidably connected to the side wall of the bracket 11, and the output shaft of the cylinder 12 fixedly connected to the end of the support plate 4. The platform 1 is fixedly mounted on a frame, and the cylinder 12 drives the support plate 4 to move along the direction of the guide rail 2 through its output shaft, realizing the automatic control of the sealing disc 58 to seal and release the engine crankshaft.

[0020] like Figures 2-3 As shown, a pushing component 5 is provided on the surface of the support plate 4. The pushing component 5 includes a moving stage 51, which is slidably connected to the surface of the support plate 4. The moving stage 51 drives the sealing disc 58 to move, thereby realizing the manual sealing function. The side wall of the moving platform 51 has a through hole, and a guide rod 52 slides in the through hole. One end of the guide rod 52 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 4, and the other end of the guide rod 52 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 53. The positioning block 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 4. The guide rod 52 guides the movement of the moving platform 51, ensuring that the moving platform 51 slides smoothly along the direction of the guide rod 52 and preventing the moving platform 51 from deviating during movement. The positioning block 53 fixes one end of the guide rod 52 and also serves as a limiting structure for the movement of the moving platform 51, preventing the moving platform 51 from moving excessively. A column 54 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving platform 51. A telescopic rod 55 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the column 54. A grip rod 56 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 55. An extension rod 57 is fixedly connected to the end of the moving platform 51. A sealing plate 58 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension rod 57. By gripping the lever 56 and applying a pushing force, the telescopic rod 55 drives the column 54 to move the moving platform 51 on the support plate 4, and the sealing plate 58 directly contacts the large end of the engine crankshaft to seal the engine crankshaft for engine sealing test.

[0021] like Figures 2-3As shown, a fixing component 6 is provided on the side wall of the column 54. The fixing component 6 includes a slide groove 61, which is opened on the side wall of the column 54. A pressure plate 62 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 61. A through hole is opened on the surface of the pressure plate 62, and a positioning rod 63 is slidably connected in the through hole. The end of the positioning rod 63 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 61. The positioning rod 63 guides the movement of the pressure plate 62, ensuring that the pressure plate 62 moves smoothly in the slide groove 61 along the direction of the positioning rod 63. The pressure plate 62 and the inner wall of the slide groove 61 are elastically connected by a return spring 64. An insertion rod 65 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 62. The insertion rod 65 is inserted into the inside of the positioning groove 41. By sliding the pressure plate 62 in the slide groove 61, the position of the moving platform 51 is fixed through the cooperation of the insertion rod 65 and the positioning groove 41. When the pressure plate 62 is subjected to external force, it can move upward, causing the insertion rod 65 to disengage from the positioning groove 41, thereby releasing the fixation of the moving platform 51. When the external force disappears, under the action of the return spring 64, the pressure plate 62 moves downward, and the insertion rod 65 re-inserts into the positioning groove 41, thus fixing the moving platform 51 and avoiding the need for manual application of continuous pressure to the sealing disc 58. A traction plate 66 is hinged to the surface of the pressure plate 62, with the end of the traction plate 66 away from the pressure plate 62 hinged to the end of the handle 56. When the handle 56 is pushed, the telescopic rod 55 extends, and the traction plate 66 drives the pressure plate 62 to move upward in the slide groove 61, thereby fixing and releasing the position of the moving platform 51.

[0022] In this invention, when encountering a cylinder 12 malfunction or requiring manual operation, the operator grips the lever 56 and applies a pushing force. The telescopic rod 55 extends, causing the column 54 to move the moving platform 51 along the direction of the guide rod 52 on the bearing plate 4. During the pushing of the lever 56, since the lever 56 is hinged to the pressure plate 62 via the traction plate 66, the movement of the lever 56 will cause the traction plate 66 to move, thereby causing the pressure plate 62 to slide upward in the slide groove 61. The insertion rod 65 disengages from the positioning groove 41, at which point the moving platform 51 can move freely. After the sealing disc 58 moves to the large end of the engine crankshaft and completes the sealing, the lever 56 is released and pressed against the moving platform 51. Under the action of the return spring 64, the pressure plate 62 moves downward, and the insertion rod 65 re-inserts into the positioning groove 41, fixing the position of the moving platform 51 and avoiding the need for continuous manual pressure on the sealing disc 58.

[0023] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
