Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of engines, and in particular to the technical field of flywheels. Background Technology
[0002] A flywheel is a mechanical device used to store rotational kinetic energy during rotational motion. Flywheels tend to resist changes in rotational speed. When the power source exerts a varying torque on the rotating shaft (e.g., in a reciprocating engine), or when applied to intermittent loads (e.g., in a piston or punch press), the flywheel can reduce speed fluctuations, making the rotational motion smoother. Some tests require intermittent high-power output. If this power is directly provided by the electrical system, it may cause unwanted current surges. When used with a flywheel, when the input power is greater than the output power, the flywheel converts the excess energy into its own kinetic energy, simultaneously accelerating the flywheel; when the input power is less than the output power, the flywheel decelerates, and the released kinetic energy becomes the power output.
[0003] Existing patent CN212004104U discloses a diesel engine flywheel assembly, which balances the inertial force of flywheel rotation through the reasonable distribution of weight-reducing grooves. However, since the weight-reducing grooves cannot be adjusted once they are processed, and errors are inevitable during the processing, it is impossible to adjust the balance of the inertial force of flywheel rotation after production is completed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a diesel engine flywheel that allows for easy counterweight balancing and has a relatively simple structure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a diesel engine flywheel, comprising a flywheel body, threaded holes, fixing bolts, and a counterweight column. One end of the flywheel body is provided with several threaded holes, and fixing bolts are screwed into the threaded holes. Each fixing bolt consists of a bolt head and a screw rod, with the screw rod fully screwed into the threaded hole. The length of the screw rod is less than the depth of the threaded hole. An insertion hole is provided at the end of the screw rod, and the counterweight column is inserted into the insertion hole. A spring in a compressed state is provided between the counterweight column and the bottom of the insertion hole, with the end of the counterweight column abutting against the bottom of the threaded hole.
[0006] Preferably, the central axis of the threaded hole is parallel to the central axis of the flywheel body, and the threaded hole is evenly arranged around the central axis of the flywheel body.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the flywheel body is provided with an annular groove, the annular groove and the flywheel body are located on the same central axis, the threaded hole is opened on the bottom of the annular groove, and the thickness of the bolt head is less than the depth of the annular groove.
[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the socket is provided with a number of guide strips, which are parallel to the screw. The outer wall of the counterweight column is provided with a number of guide grooves that correspond one-to-one with the guide strips. The guide grooves are adapted to the guide strips, and the guide strips are inserted into the guide grooves.
[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the flywheel body includes a ring of flywheel teeth, one end of the flywheel body has a central hole and several crankshaft mounting holes, and the other end of the flywheel body has a main mounting hole. The main mounting hole, the central hole and the flywheel body are located on the same central axis, and the crankshaft mounting holes are evenly surrounding the central hole.
[0010] Preferably, the threaded hole and the center hole are located at the same end of the flywheel body.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By combining threaded holes, fixing bolts, and counterweight columns, this utility model allows the flywheel to balance the inertial force of its rotation by using appropriate counterweight columns in different threaded holes, making adjustment more convenient and flexible.
[0012] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
