Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-lubricating crankshaft connecting rod assembly, including a crankshaft part and a connecting rod part rotatably connected. The crankshaft part includes a crankshaft body 8 and a metal sleeve 9 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the crankshaft body 8. The outer wall of the metal sleeve 9 is provided with an integrally formed convex ring 10. The connecting rod part includes a large end 4 composed of an upper bearing shell 41 and a lower bearing shell 42. The inner sidewalls of the upper bearing shell 41 and the lower bearing shell 42 are both equipped with metal wear-resistant plates 424. The two metal wear-resistant plates 424 are provided with rotating grooves 421 that cooperate with the convex ring 10. The lower bearing shell 42 is provided with a lubrication structure inside.
[0022] The lubrication structure includes an oil reservoir 423 formed in the lower bearing shell 42, and an oil outlet 425 communicating with the oil reservoir 423 is provided on a metal wear-resistant plate 424.
[0023] In response to the above, when installing the self-lubricating crankshaft body connecting rod assembly, the large end 4 composed of the upper bearing 41 and the lower bearing 42 is fitted onto the outside of the crankshaft body 8, so that the groove 421 on the inner metal wear plate 424 of the upper bearing 41 and the lower bearing 42 matches the convex ring 10 on the metal sleeve 9, and the upper bearing 41 and the lower bearing 42 are fixed in place.
[0024] When rotating, the connecting rod rotates on the crankshaft, the large end 4 rotates on the crankshaft body 8, and the rotating groove 421 rotates on the convex ring 10, which plays a limiting role and ensures the stability of the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism rotation.
[0025] Because the oil reservoir 423 has a semi-annular structure and the oil outlet 425 is located at the bottom of the semi-annular structure, it facilitates the seepage of lubricating oil, which can lubricate the crankshaft connecting rod during rotation and extend the service life of the crankshaft connecting rod.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this utility model, the crankshaft part also includes two balance blocks 1 and a balance shaft 5 connected to one side of the two balance blocks 1. The crankshaft body 8 is connected between the two balance blocks 1. The balance shaft 5 is used to install the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism. The balance blocks 1 play a balancing role when the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism rotates, ensuring the balance of the crankshaft connecting rod when it rotates.
[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this utility model, the connecting rod part also includes a connecting rod 2 and a small end 3. The small end 3 is installed at the top of the connecting rod 2, and the upper bearing 41 is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 2. The small end 3 has a ring-shaped structure. The small end 3 is used to fix and connect with the piston. The connecting rod 2, the upper bearing 41, and the small end 3 are integrally formed.
[0028] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this utility model, both sides of the upper bearing shell 41 and the lower bearing shell 42 are provided with connecting parts 7, and threaded holes are opened in the connecting parts 7. Fixing bolts 6 are screwed between the two connecting parts 7. The connecting parts 7 on both sides of the upper bearing shell 41 correspond to the connecting parts 7 on both sides of the lower bearing shell 42. The upper bearing shell 41 and the lower bearing shell 42 are placed on the outside of the crankshaft body 8, and the threaded holes are aligned so that the fixing bolts 6 are screwed into the threaded holes, thereby installing the upper bearing shell 41 and the lower bearing shell 42 securely.
[0029] In addition, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, in this utility model, the bottom of the lower bearing 42 is provided with an oil inlet pipe 422 that communicates with the oil storage cavity 423. A sealing cap is screwed onto the oil inlet pipe 422. By unscrewing the sealing cap, lubricating oil can be added to the oil storage cavity 423 through the oil inlet pipe 422.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
