DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the description of the embodiments is not a limitation on the technical solutions, and any changes in form but not in substance according to the concept of the present application should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.

[0019] In the following description, the concepts of up, down, left, right, front and back (or called orientation) are all in the position state of the figure being described, and the purpose is to facilitate the public to understand, so it cannot be understood as a special limitation on the technical solutions provided by the present application.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application relates to an engine support structure, comprising a base 1, a stand 2 fixed to the base 1 at the bottom end, and a rotary clamp 3 installed at the upper end of the stand 2. The base 1 is provided with a first group of wheels 4 at one end and a second group of wheels 5 at the other end along the direction of travel. One of the first group of wheels 4 and the second group of wheels 5 is a pair of universal wheels, and the other is a pair of straight wheels. If the bottom of the base 1 is straight wheels, the direction cannot be controlled, if it is universal wheels, the direction cannot be controlled, and after the combination of straight wheels and universal wheels, the pushing direction is easy to control, and it is convenient to push.

[0021] Further, the first group of wheels 4 and the second group of wheels 5 adopt a large wheel structure with a diameter greater than 100 mm, and the diameter of the large wheel is preferably less than 300 mm. The large wheel structure can greatly reduce the support pushing force, reduce the operation difficulty of the operator, and improve the work efficiency. According to actual verification, when the diameter of the wheel is 90-100 mm, there is only a small improvement when pushing the engine, and the effect is not obvious. At least one of the first group of wheels 4 and the second group of wheels 5 is provided with a foot brake for fixing the engine support and preventing the engine support from moving during maintenance. The first group of wheels 4 and the second group of wheels 5 preferably adopt air cushion rubber wheels, which have the advantages of shock absorption, noise reduction and enhanced vehicle stability.

[0022] The base 1 comprises a front beam 11, a rear beam 12 and a middle beam 13. The column 2 is provided with a connecting sleeve 21 at the bottom, which is arranged above the middle part of the rear beam 12, and a reinforcing inclined rod 23 is arranged between the middle part of the column 2 and the connecting sleeve 21. One end of the middle beam 13 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 21, and the middle beam 13, the connecting sleeve 21 and the rear beam 12 are fixedly connected by screws. The other end of the middle beam 13 is connected and fixed with the middle part of the front beam 11 through an L-shaped connecting plate 131, and the connecting plate 131 is bolted with the front beam 11. The front beam 11, the middle beam 13 and the rear beam 12 form a I-shaped structure. In the embodiment, universal wheels are installed at the bottom of both ends of the front beam 11 as the first group of wheels 4, and straight wheels are installed at the bottom of both ends of the rear beam 13 as the second group of wheels 5. In order to install the universal wheels, universal wheel mounting seats 111 are arranged at the bottom of both ends of the front beam 11, and in order to install the straight wheels, straight wheel mounting racks 121 are formed at the bottom of both ends of the rear beam 12. Of course, straight wheels can be installed on the front beam 11 and universal wheels can be installed on the rear beam 13.

[0023] The rotating clamp 3 is arranged on the side of the top end of the column 2 facing the front beam 11. The column 2 is provided with a shaft sleeve 22 at the top end, and the rotating clamp 3 comprises a rotating shaft 31 and a claw disc 32. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably arranged in the shaft sleeve 22 and protrudes from both ends of the shaft sleeve 22. The rear side center of the claw disc 32 is fixed with the front end of the rotating shaft 31, and connecting rods 33 are outwardly extended at four corner parts of the front side surface of the claw disc 32, and sleeve pipes 331 for connecting and fixing engines are arranged at the outer side ends of the connecting rods 33, and the positions of the sleeve pipes 331 correspond to the connecting holes of the engines. The rotating clamp 3 further comprises a handle 34 arranged in the rear end of the rotating shaft 31, and the claw disc 32 rotates with the rotation of the handle 34. Further, horizontal grooves 321 are formed at two corner parts on one side of the claw disc 32, and inclined grooves 322 are formed at two corner parts on the other side of the claw disc 32, and the inner side ends of one pair of connecting rods 33 are connected with the horizontal grooves 321 through bolts, and the inner side ends of the other pair of connecting rods 33 are connected with the inclined grooves 322 through adjusting bolts 332. By adjusting the positions of the connecting rods 33 in the corresponding grooves, the spacing sizes between the sleeve pipes 331 can be adjusted, so as to better adapt to the fixation of various engines.
