[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0035] This application provides a bracket for the maintenance of timing belts in automotive valve train systems, which solves the problem that the maintenance area cannot be accurately divided and defined in the current timing belt maintenance process, thereby improving the efficiency of timing belt maintenance.
[0036] The technical solution in this application is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:
[0037] In the existing technology, the maintenance of timing belts includes replacing the timing belt and checking the performance of the timing belt. Currently, due to the complex internal structure of the engine valve train, maintenance personnel cannot quickly identify the maintenance area of the timing belt during the maintenance process, resulting in inconvenience in timing belt maintenance and low maintenance efficiency.
[0038] Research has found that, for example Figures 1-4 As shown, by setting up a bracket and designing it as a ring-shaped frame and maintenance area, the maintenance area is used to divide the location to be inspected. This solves the problem in the prior art where, due to the complex internal structure of the engine valve train, maintenance personnel cannot quickly identify the maintenance area of the timing belt during maintenance, resulting in inconvenience in timing belt maintenance and low maintenance efficiency.
[0039] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0040] Example:
[0041] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a bracket for maintenance of timing belt in automotive valve train systems includes an annular frame 1 and a maintenance area 10.
[0042] The maintenance area 10 is a closed space formed by the ring frame 1, which is used to divide the maintenance area when the timing belt is being maintained.
[0043] The ring-shaped frame 1 is detachably connected to the vehicle's valve train system;
[0044] A detector 2 is installed on the ring frame 1, and the detector probe 21 of the detector 2 passes through the avoidance hole 3 and enters the maintenance area 10.
[0045] Specifically, the detector 2 is installed using a detachable mounting method;
[0046] When the detector 2 is installed in a detachable manner, it can be installed by adhesive tape or by binding with straps.
[0047] It should be noted that the detector 2 can be non-contact, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0048] By setting up a bracket and configuring the bracket into a ring-shaped frame 1 and a maintenance area 10, the maintenance area 10 is used to divide the position to be inspected. This solves the problem in the prior art that, due to the complex internal structure of the engine valve train, maintenance personnel cannot quickly identify the maintenance area of the timing belt during the maintenance process, resulting in inconvenience in timing belt maintenance and low maintenance efficiency.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the annular frame 1 has multiple mounting holes 11;
[0050] When installing the ring frame 1, bolts are used to pass through the corresponding mounting holes 11 and connect with the threaded holes pre-set on the back plate of the vehicle's valve train, thereby fixing the ring frame 1 to the vehicle's valve train system. This facilitates the disassembly and installation of the ring frame 1, and further facilitates the use of the bracket during the timing belt maintenance process.
[0051] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the detection probe 21 is connected to the detector 2 via signal line 20;
[0052] A limiting block 22 is fixedly sleeved on the signal line 20 and fixed to the annular frame 1 through the limiting block 22.
[0053] By setting a limiting block 22, the stability of the detection probe 21 after passing through the clearance hole 3 is achieved, thereby facilitating the detection probe 21 to detect the timing belt.
[0054] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the annular frame 1 is integrally formed;
[0055] The ring-shaped frame 1 is made of alloy material;
[0056] The limiting block 22 is made of rubber.
[0057] By setting the ring frame 1 as an integral molding, it is easy to manufacture and process the ring frame 1. Furthermore, by using the rubber limiting block 22 and the alloy ring frame 1, and by utilizing the elasticity of the rubber limiting block 22 itself, it is easy to fix the limiting block 22 relative to the ring frame 1, thereby facilitating the relative stability of the detection probe 21 during detection.
[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the annular frame 1 has multiple wire grooves 12.
[0059] By opening multiple wire grooves 12 on the ring frame 1, some thinner wires in the automotive electrical distribution system located around the ring frame 1 are bound together. This prevents accidental contact with these thinner wires during timing belt maintenance, which could lead to loosening of the connecting wires in the automotive valve train system. It also makes it easier for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance operations on the timing belt through the bracket.
[0060] In another embodiment:
[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the ring frame 1 is formed by connecting section one 101, section two 102, section three 103 and section four 104 in sequence to form a closed structure;
[0062] The connecting section 101 and the connecting section 3103 are made of alloy material;
[0063] The connecting section 2 102 and the connecting section 4 104 are made of rubber.
[0064] The detector 2 is installed on the connecting section 101.
[0065] Specifically, connecting segment 101 and connecting segment 2102 are glued together, connecting segment 2102 and connecting segment 3103 are glued together, and connecting segment 3103 and connecting segment 4104 are glued together.
[0066] By setting the ring frame 1 in the form of connecting section 101, connecting section 2 102, connecting section 3 103 and connecting section 4 104, the ring frame 1 is installed with the vehicle valve train system by connecting section 101 and connecting section 3 103, and the deformable properties of connecting section 2 102 and connecting section 4 104 are used to deform the ring frame 1, thereby enabling the ring frame 1 to be adjusted to adapt to the maintenance of different timing belts.
[0067] By using different materials for connecting section 101, connecting section 2 102, connecting section 3 103 and connecting section 4 104, it is possible to ensure that the ring frame 1 can deform to form a more suitable maintenance area 10 while making the ring frame 1 stable as a whole.
[0068] During work:
[0069] First, the detector 2 is installed on the connecting section 101 of the ring frame 1, and the detection probe 21 on the detector 2 is passed through the clearance hole 3 on the ring frame 1. The detection probe 21 passes through the clearance hole 3 and enters the maintenance area 10 formed by the ring frame 1. The signal line 20 used for signal transmission of the detection probe 21 is embedded in the clearance hole 3 through the limiting block 22. The installation of the detection probe 21 is limited by the fixing of the limiting block 22 and the clearance hole 3.
[0070] Next, the ring frame 1 with the tester 2 installed is installed into the vehicle's valve train system. It is fixed by bolts passing through the corresponding mounting holes 11 and the threaded holes pre-set in the vehicle's valve train system. The installation position is the position of the timing system (consisting of the timing belt and multiple drive shafts, which is the prior art). The maintenance area 10 formed by the ring frame 1 is fitted onto the timing system, separating the timing system from other components in the vehicle's valve train system, making it easier for maintenance personnel to inspect the timing belt.
[0071] In summary, compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:
[0072] 1. By setting up a bracket and configuring the bracket into a ring frame 1 and a maintenance area 10, the maintenance area 10 is used to divide the position to be inspected. This solves the problem in the prior art that, due to the complex internal structure of the engine valve train, maintenance personnel cannot quickly identify the maintenance area of the timing belt during the maintenance process, resulting in inconvenience in timing belt maintenance and low maintenance efficiency.
[0073] 2. By setting a limit block 22, the stability of the detection probe 21 after passing through the clearance hole 3 is achieved, thereby facilitating the detection probe 21 to detect the timing belt.
[0074] 3. By setting the ring frame 1 in the form of connecting section 101, connecting section 2 102, connecting section 3 103 and connecting section 4 104, the ring frame 1 is installed with the vehicle valve train system by connecting section 101 and connecting section 3 103, and the deformable properties of connecting section 2 102 and connecting section 4 104 are used to deform the ring frame 1, thereby enabling the ring frame 1 to be adjusted to adapt to the maintenance of different timing belts.
[0075] By using different materials for connecting section 101, connecting section 2 102, connecting section 3 103 and connecting section 4 104, it is possible to ensure that the ring frame 1 can deform to form a more suitable maintenance area 10 while making the ring frame 1 stable as a whole.
