Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of diesel engine technology, specifically relating to a flexible seal installation auxiliary device for a diesel engine indicator valve stem assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The diesel engine indicator valve assembly is a component that measures the intra-cylinder combustion pressure and plots the combustion pressure curve by connecting an indicator gauge. Currently, most diesel engine indicator valve assemblies are of the split type, with the valve stem, valve head, and spring connected by threads. This type of indicator valve is simple to assemble, but adjusting the valve's stroke requires rotating the thread. Rotating the nut causes the valve head to rotate, thus posing a risk of damaging the valve face. However, if a different type of valve is used... Figure 3 The illustrated indicator valve stem assembly structure is designed as a single unit, giving the indicator valve flexibility and allowing for precise control of the stem's inner cavity length to ensure valve stroke without readjustment. However, during indicator valve assembly, the stem assembly must be assembled first, involving sequentially inserting the butterfly spring and indicator valve head into the inner bore of the stem head, ensuring the valve head is completely enclosed within the stem. While this type of indicator valve structure is flexible and simple, the inner bore diameter of the stem head is Φ13mm, the maximum diameter of the portion of the valve head inserted into the stem is Φ14.5mm, and the outer diameter of the butterfly spring is Φ14mm, making direct assembly impossible. Therefore, to address the critical issue of precisely controlling the inner cavity length and inserting the valve head into the stem bore to guarantee valve stroke, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a flexible seal installation auxiliary device for the valve stem assembly of a diesel engine indicator valve. By optimizing the installation structure of the valve stem assembly, and with the positioning and guidance of the auxiliary device, the upper end of the valve stem is deformed and turned inward with the help of a press so that the butterfly spring and the maximum diameter position of the lower end of the valve head are completely wrapped in the stepped hole of the large diameter section of the valve stem. This solves the technical problem that the indicator valve stem assembly cannot be directly assembled. It can effectively solve the problems of valve head insertion into the valve stem inner hole and precise control of the inner cavity length to ensure valve stroke during the assembly of the indicator valve head, valve stem and butterfly spring. It ensures smooth assembly of the valve stem assembly, has a simple structure, is easy to operate and use, and can effectively ensure assembly quality and processing efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A flexible sealing installation auxiliary device for the valve stem assembly of a diesel engine indicator valve includes an upper mold, a guide sleeve, a lower mold, and a base. The base has a central hole for the lower half of the valve stem, which is vertically arranged with its small end facing downward, to extend into it. The lower end of the guide sleeve is coaxially fixed to the upper end of the base. The lower mold is adapted to be installed inside the guide sleeve, and the lower end face of the lower mold contacts the upper end face of the base. The tapered section at the upper end of the valve stem and the lower half of the large diameter section are adapted to the lower mold hole at the upper end of the central hole of the lower mold. The upper mold is adapted to be inside the guide sleeve, and the upper mold hole at the lower end of the central hole of the upper mold is adapted to the large diameter section of the valve stem. The upper end of the upper mold extends out of the guide sleeve. When the punch of the press presses the upper mold downward until the upper mold moves down to the point where its lower end face contacts the upper end face of the lower mold, the upper end of the valve stem deforms and flips inward until the butterfly spring and the maximum diameter position of the lower end of the valve head are completely wrapped in the stepped hole of the large diameter section of the valve stem.

[0005] The base is a stepped column structure with an upper diameter smaller than the lower diameter. The lower inner hole of the guide sleeve is interference-fitted with the small diameter section of the upper end of the base, and the lower end face of the guide sleeve is in contact with the stepped surface of the base.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner hole of the guide sleeve is clearance-fitted with the upper and lower dies, and the lower end face of the lower die contacts the upper end face of the small diameter section of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the gap between the inner wall of the guide sleeve and the outer circumferential walls of the upper and lower dies is 0.025mm to 0.075mm.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the upper die hole is larger than the diameter of the center hole of the upper die, and the upper die hole and the center hole of the upper die are connected by a rounded transition, and the arc formed by the rounded corner presses the upper end of the valve stem.

[0009] The installation method for the diesel engine indicator valve stem assembly includes the following steps:

[0010] 1) Valve stem assembly optimization and installation: Optimize the stepped hole of the large diameter section of the valve stem so that the diameter of the stepped hole opening is larger than the maximum diameter of the valve head part installed in the valve stem, and extend the hole depth corresponding to this diameter; install the butterfly spring into the stepped hole, and make the valve head pass through the butterfly spring into the stepped hole, and the maximum diameter of the valve head is located at the stepped hole opening.

[0011] 2) Installation of valve stem assembly and auxiliary device: Fix the guide sleeve to the base and ensure that the guide sleeve and the base fixing structure are stable. Then install the lower mold into the guide sleeve, then install the valve stem assembly, and finally install the upper mold into the guide sleeve. It is necessary to ensure that the lower mold and the upper mold can move up and down flexibly in the guide sleeve.

[0012] 3) Pressing: Place the installed structure on the worktable below the press punch, start the press, and stop when the press punch presses against the upper die and moves down until the lower end face of the upper die is against the upper end face of the lower die. At this time, the upper end of the large end of the valve stem in the valve stem assembly is turned inward to wrap the maximum diameter position of the valve head inside it.

[0013] 4) After pressing is completed, the press punch moves up and the upper die and valve stem assembly can be removed.

[0014] Furthermore, a lower die hole is concentrically formed at the upper end of the lower die center hole. The lower die hole consists of a tapered hole connected to the center hole and a hole of equal diameter located at the opening. The diameter of the hole of equal diameter is larger than the largest part diameter of the valve stem big end.

[0015] Furthermore, an upper die hole is concentrically formed at the lower end of the center hole of the upper die, and the diameter of the upper die hole is smaller than the diameter of the equal diameter section of the lower die hole but larger than the largest part diameter of the valve stem's large end. During the process of the press punch pressing the upper die downward, the arc surface connected by the upper die hole and the center hole of the upper die presses the upper end of the valve stem.

[0016] Furthermore, the base is integrally molded from 45 steel, and the hardness of the base is 28-32 HRC; the upper mold, guide sleeve and lower mold are all made of GCr15 steel, and the hardness of the upper mold, guide sleeve and lower mold is 58-62 HRC.

[0017] Furthermore, the diameter of the central hole of the upper mold is smaller than the maximum diameter of the valve head and larger than the diameter of the upper end of the valve head.

[0018] Advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art:

[0019] 1. This technical solution optimizes the valve stem assembly installation structure and, with the positioning and guidance of the auxiliary device, uses a press to deform and invert the upper end of the valve stem until the butterfly spring and the maximum diameter position of the lower end of the valve head are completely wrapped in the stepped hole of the large diameter section of the valve stem. This solves the technical problem that the valve stem assembly of the indicator valve cannot be directly assembled. It can effectively solve the problems of valve head insertion into the valve stem inner hole and precise control of the inner cavity length to ensure the valve stroke when assembling the valve head, valve stem and butterfly spring of the indicator valve, ensuring the smooth assembly of the valve stem assembly;

[0020] 2. This technical solution has a simple structure, is easy to operate on-site, and is convenient to use. It reduces the processing and assembly difficulty of the valve stem assembly, effectively ensures assembly quality and processing efficiency, and provides a reference solution for the assembly technology of similar indicator valve stem assemblies. It has high application and promotion value. Attached Figure Description

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0029] A flexible seal mounting auxiliary device is used for the valve stem assembly of the diesel engine indicator valve, such as... Figure 3As shown, the device includes an upper mold 1, a guide sleeve 2, a lower mold 3, and a base 4. The base 4 has a central hole for the lower half of a valve stem 5, which is vertically positioned with its smaller end facing downwards, to extend into it. The lower end of the guide sleeve 2 is coaxially fixed to the upper end of the base 4. The lower mold 3 is fitted into the guide sleeve 2, and its lower end face contacts the upper end face of the base 4. The tapered section at the upper end of the valve stem 5 and the lower half of its larger diameter section are connected to the lower mold hole 3 at the upper end of the central hole of the lower mold 3. 1. Adaptation: The upper mold 1 is adapted to the guide sleeve 2, and the upper mold hole 1-1 at the lower end of the center hole of the upper mold 1 is adapted to the large diameter section of the valve stem 5. The upper end of the upper mold 1 extends out of the guide sleeve 2. When the punch of the press presses the upper mold 1 downward until the upper mold 1 moves down to contact the upper end face of the lower mold 3, the upper end of the valve stem 5 is deformed and turned inward so that the butterfly spring 7 and the valve head 6 are completely wrapped in the stepped hole 5-1 of the large diameter section of the valve stem 5.

[0030] The connection structure between the base 4 and the guide sleeve 2 is as follows: the base 4 is a stepped column structure with an upper diameter smaller than the lower diameter, the lower inner hole of the guide sleeve 2 is interference-fitted with the small diameter section of the upper end of the base 4, and the lower end face of the guide sleeve 2 is in contact with the stepped surface of the base 4.

[0031] The specific fitting structure between the guide sleeve 2 and the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 3 is as follows: the inner hole of the guide sleeve 2 is clearance-fitted with the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 3, and the lower end face of the lower mold 3 is in contact with the upper end face of the small diameter section of the base 4; specifically, the gap between the inner hole wall of the guide sleeve 2 and the outer circumferential wall of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 3 is 0.025mm to 0.075mm.

[0032] The upper mold hole 1-1 has a larger diameter than the center hole of the upper mold 1, and the upper mold hole 1-1 and the center hole of the upper mold 1 are connected by a rounded corner, and the arc formed by the rounded corner presses the upper end of the valve stem 5.

[0033] When assembling the indicator valve, the valve stem assembly must be assembled first. This involves sequentially inserting the butterfly spring 7 and the indicator valve head 6 into the stepped hole 5-1 at the head of the valve stem 5. Then, the valve stem assembly and other components are installed into the valve body. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the valve stem assembly is completed, the original valve stem 5 head inner hole diameter is Φ13, while the valve head 6 installed in the valve stem 5 has a maximum diameter of Φ14.5, and the butterfly spring outer diameter is Φ14.

[0034] To install the butterfly spring 7 and the indicator valve head 6 into the stepped hole 5-1 of the valve stem 5, the diameter of the valve stem 5's inner hole before assembly must first be determined. Analysis shows that the diameter of the stepped hole 5-1 of the valve stem 5 is designed to be Φ16.2+0.2 0, with a length of 2. To control the valve's stroke, the distance from the end face of the hole to the bottom face is controlled, with dimensions designed to be 10.5+0.1 0 and 6±0.1. Figure 2As shown; at the same time, the designers need to design a device that can be used to press and deform the orifice of the valve stem 5 to Φ13, so that the valve head 6 can be reliably installed into the valve stem 5 and can accurately ensure that the valve stroke meets the requirements of the assembly drawing; therefore, an auxiliary device was designed.

[0035] The installation method for the diesel engine indicator valve stem assembly includes the following steps:

[0036] 1) Optimization and installation of the valve stem assembly: such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the stepped hole 5-1 of the large diameter section of the valve stem 5 is optimized so that the diameter of the hole at the opening of the stepped hole 5-1 (φ16.2mm) is larger than the maximum diameter of the part of the valve head 6 that is installed in the valve stem 5 (φ14.5mm), and the hole depth corresponding to this diameter is extended (from the original 1mm to 2mm); the butterfly spring 7 is installed in the stepped hole 5-1, and the valve head 6 is installed in the stepped hole 5-1 through the butterfly spring 7, and the maximum diameter of the valve head 6 is located at the opening of the stepped hole 5-1;

[0037] 2) Installation of valve stem assembly and auxiliary device: Fix the guide sleeve 2 to the base 4 and ensure that the fixing structure between the guide sleeve 2 and the base 4 is stable. Then, install the lower mold 3 into the guide sleeve 2 with a clearance fit of 0.025mm to 0.075mm. Next, install the valve stem assembly. Finally, install the upper mold 1 into the guide sleeve 2 with a clearance fit of 0.025mm to 0.075mm. This ensures that the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 1 can move up and down flexibly within the guide sleeve 2, so that the valve stem assembly can be guided when it is pressed.

[0038] In this step, for example Figure 1-5 As shown, a lower die hole 3-1 is concentrically formed at the upper end of the center hole of the lower die 3. The lower die hole 3-1 consists of a tapered hole connected to its center hole and a hole of equal diameter located at the opening. The diameter of the hole of equal diameter (φ20mm) is larger than the largest part diameter of the valve stem 5 (φ18mm). Specifically, an upper die hole 1-1 is concentrically formed at the lower end of the center hole of the upper die 1. The diameter of the upper die hole 1-1 (φ18.2mm) is smaller than the diameter of the equal section of the lower die hole 3-1 (φ20mm) but larger than the largest part diameter of the valve stem 5 (φ18mm). The press... During the downward movement of the upper die 1 under the pressure of the punch, the arc surface connected by the upper die hole 1-1 and the center hole of the upper die 1 presses the upper end of the valve stem 5; specifically, the base 4 is integrally molded from 45 steel, and the hardness of the base 4 is 28-32 HRC; the upper die 1, guide sleeve 2 and lower die 3 are all made of GCr15 steel, and the hardness of the upper die 1, guide sleeve 2 and lower die 3 is 58-62 HRC; specifically, the diameter of the center hole of the upper die 1 (φ13mm) is smaller than the maximum diameter of the valve head 6 (φ14.5mm) and larger than the diameter of the upper head of the valve head 6;

[0039] 3) Pressing: Place the installed structure on the worktable below the press punch, adjust the press pressure, start the press, and stop when the press punch presses against the upper die 1 and moves down until the lower end face of the upper die 1 touches the upper end face of the lower die 3. At this time, the upper end of the large end of the valve stem 5 in the valve stem assembly folds inward to enclose the maximum diameter position of the valve head 6 inside it, such as... Figure 3 As shown;

[0040] Among them, ① the tapered hole surface of the lower die hole 3-1 in the lower die 3 is the main working part and has a positioning function. Therefore, this tapered hole surface must have high precision, form and position tolerances, and surface roughness. At the same time, in order to ensure the valve stroke, the inner diameter and length of the large end of this tapered hole surface also need to have high precision requirements, such as... Figure 4 As shown; ② The pressing part of the upper die hole 1-1 in the upper die 1 must be designed as an arc shape, that is, the arc surface formed by the connection between the upper die hole 1-1 and the center hole of the upper die 1 through a rounded transition. This arc surface needs to have a high roughness so that the valve stem 5 does not get stuck during the pressing process, such as Figure 5 As shown; ③ During pressing, the pressing is complete when the press punch cannot move downwards. At this time, the bottom plane of the upper die 1 and the upper plane of the lower die 3 are completely overlapped, thus ensuring the valve stroke.

[0041] 4) After pressing is completed, the press punch moves up and the upper die 1 and valve stem assembly can be removed.

[0042] Safety and stability analysis

[0043] (1) Safety analysis: The device has a simple structure, no special environmental requirements, no electrical or gas assistance, and is lightweight with no safety hazards.

[0044] (2) Stability analysis: Based on the function of each component of the device and the usage environment, the base 4 is made of 45 steel and is subjected to overall quenching and tempering treatment with a hardness of 28-32HRC; the upper mold 1, guide sleeve 2 and lower mold 3 are all made of GCr15 and are subjected to overall quenching and tempering treatment with a hardness of 58-62HRC, which can ensure the stability of the device under long-term operation.

[0045] This invention has been applied to the assembly of the indicator valve stem assembly in diesel engines, solving the problem that the indicator valve stem assembly cannot be directly assembled. Through on-site debugging, tracking and verification, the valve stem assembly assembled using this device can accurately control the length of the inner cavity of the valve stem 5, ensuring the valve stroke and meeting design requirements. Moreover, the assembly is reliable, the on-site operation is simple and convenient, ensuring the assembly quality and efficiency of the indicator valve stem assembly, while reducing the processing difficulty.

[0046] This technical solution optimizes the valve stem assembly installation structure and, with the positioning and guidance of an auxiliary device, uses a press to deform and invert the upper end of the valve stem 5 until the maximum diameter position of the lower end of the butterfly spring 7 and the valve head 6 is completely enclosed within the stepped hole of the large diameter section of the valve stem. This solves the technical problem that the valve stem assembly of the indicator valve cannot be directly assembled. It effectively solves the problems of inserting the valve head 6 into the inner hole of the valve stem 5 and accurately controlling the length of the inner cavity to ensure the valve stroke during the assembly of the indicator valve head 6, valve stem 5, and butterfly spring 7, ensuring smooth assembly of the valve stem assembly. The structure is simple, the on-site operation is simple, and the use is convenient. It reduces the processing and assembly difficulty of the valve stem assembly, effectively ensuring assembly quality and processing efficiency. It provides a reference solution for the assembly technology of similar indicator valve stem assemblies and has high application and promotion value.
