Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cylinder block transfer device, and more particularly to an engine cylinder block transfer device, belonging to the technical field of engine cylinder block transfer accessories. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, such as the utility model application with application number CN201721682911.2, a motorcycle engine cylinder block transfer trolley is disclosed. By adding an electric cylinder, support plate, guide column, baffle, spring and L-shaped bracket, this design facilitates protection, improves safety and is easy to use. It solves the problem that existing motorcycle engine cylinder block transfer trolleys usually have simple structure and poor protection effect. When encountering uneven road surface or slope, the motorcycle engine cylinder block transfer trolley may shake, causing the motorcycle engine cylinder to slip off the trolley and thus damage the motorcycle engine cylinder.

[0003] The above-mentioned applications still have shortcomings:

[0004] When this type of motorcycle engine block transport trolley directly places the engine block onto the mounting plate, the lack of an effective limiting and fixing structure on the mounting plate results in a lack of targeted restraint on the cylinder block. This leads to extremely poor stability of the cylinder block after placement, making it prone to tipping over during transport due to road bumps and steering wobbling, directly causing impact damage to the cylinder block; it also accelerates wear on the cylinder block surface.

[0005] To address this issue, an engine block transfer device was designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide an engine cylinder block transfer device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:

[0008] An engine cylinder block transfer device includes a placement plate and support plates evenly arranged at the four corners of the placement plate. U-shaped plates are symmetrically arranged on the top of the placement plate. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the U-shaped plates and the placement plate. A fixed shaft is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped plates. Sleeves are evenly rotatably installed on the outside of the fixed shafts. A fixed rod and a limiting rod are fixed on both sides of the sleeves respectively. A counterweight is fixed to the end of the fixed rod away from the sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal plate and an L-shaped plate. The horizontal plates are symmetrically installed on the top of the placement plate, and each side of the horizontal plate has a sliding hole. The L-shaped plates are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the U-shaped plate. A T-shaped rod is inserted through the sliding hole, and both ends of the T-shaped rod are inserted through and extended to the inside of the U-shaped plate and the outside of the L-shaped plate, respectively. An internal threaded tube is threaded on the outside of the T-shaped rod.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting ring is fitted at the end of the limiting rod, a limiting sleeve is movably fitted on the outer side of the limiting rod, an installation groove is provided at the connection between the limiting sleeve and the limiting rod, and an annular groove matching the limiting ring is provided on the inner side wall of the installation groove, and the annular groove is movably connected to the limiting ring.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the placement plate is provided with a cushioning pad, and semi-circular particles are evenly distributed on the cushioning pad.

[0012] Preferably, the counterweight is made of high-density cast iron and has a protective layer on its outer side. The counterweight is fixed to the fixing rod by welding.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the horizontal plate is machined with scale lines, and the top of the scale lines is provided with a wear-resistant layer.

[0014] Preferably, a reinforcing pad is fixed on one side of the internally threaded tube, and the reinforcing pad is a rubber reinforcing pad.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model utilizes a placement plate, support plate, U-shaped plate, fixed shaft, sleeve, fixed rod, counterweight, and limiting rod in combination. The engine cylinder block is placed on the placement plate, and gravity causes the limiting rod to press down, rotating the sleeve. Leverage principle is used to lift the fixed rod and counterweight. Depending on the shape of the cylinder block's outer side, the limiting rod presses down to different heights, limiting the cylinder block at different positions. This adapts to various cylinder blocks, improves the stability of the cylinder block during transport, effectively prevents displacement and slippage, and ensures safe and efficient transport.

[0017] 2. This utility model utilizes a combination of a horizontal plate, sliding holes, an L-shaped plate, a T-shaped rod, and an internally threaded tube. By adjusting the distance between two sets of fixed shafts, it can accommodate engine cylinder blocks of different sizes. Moving and fixing the U-shaped plate allows the cylinder block to press down the limiting rod to a suitable length, bringing the cylinder block closer to the placement plate, lowering the center of gravity, and significantly improving the stability of the cylinder block during transport. This prevents shaking and tipping, making transport safer and more efficient, and enhancing the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0018] 3. This utility model uses a combination of a limiting sleeve, an installation groove, an annular groove, and a limiting ring to fit the limiting sleeve onto the end of the limiting rod. After locking and pressing, the limiting ring is embedded into the annular groove, achieving rapid assembly. The limiting sleeve can effectively limit and prevent slippage, improving the stability and safety of transportation. The structure is simple and practical. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

These terms are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes an engine cylinder block transfer device, including a placement plate 1 and support plates 2 evenly arranged at the four corners of the placement plate 1. U-shaped plates 3 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the placement plate 1. An adjustment mechanism 4 is arranged between the U-shaped plates 3 and the placement plate 1. A fixed shaft 5 is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped plate 3. The fixed shaft 5 is made of 40Cr alloy steel and has been heat-treated to achieve a hardness of HRC28-32. Sleeves 6 are evenly rotatably installed on the outer side of the fixed shaft 5. The sleeves 6 are made of ZCuSn10P1 wear-resistant copper alloy and their inner diameter is 0.15mm larger than the outer diameter of the fixed shaft 5 to ensure that the sleeves 6 can rotate flexibly on the fixed shaft 5. A fixed rod 7 and a limiting rod 9 are fixed on both sides of the sleeve 6, respectively. The limiting rod 9 is made of 65Mn spring steel and has good elasticity and toughness. A counterweight 8 is fixed to the end of the fixed rod 7 away from the sleeve 6.

[0033] When the engine block is placed on the mounting plate 1, its gravity acts on the limiting rod 9. Due to the irregular shape of the outer surface of the engine block, the pressure on the limiting rod 9 varies at different locations. When a certain part of the cylinder presses down on the limiting rod 9, the limiting rod 9 rotates around the connection point between the sleeve 6 and the fixed shaft 5. According to the lever principle, the fixed rod 7 and the counterweight 8 on the other side of the sleeve 6 will rise accordingly. For example, when a protruding part of the engine block presses down on the limiting rod 9, the limiting rod 9 will rotate rapidly, causing the counterweight 8 to rise quickly to adapt to the shape change of the cylinder block; while when a concave part of the cylinder block corresponds to the limiting rod 9, the downward pressure of the limiting rod 9 is smaller, and the upward movement of the counterweight 8 is also smaller. Through this adaptive adjustment mechanism, the limiting rod 9 can closely fit the outer contour of the engine block, accurately limiting different positions of the cylinder block and preventing collision damage caused by shaking or displacement during transportation. Meanwhile, the counterweight 8 is made of high-density cast iron and has a large moment of inertia. During the rotation of the limit rod 9, it can provide a stable reverse torque, ensuring that the limit rod 9 can effectively limit the cylinder under different force conditions and improve the stability of the cylinder during transportation.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] The solution in Example 1 will be further described below with reference to its specific working method.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the adjustment mechanism 4 further includes a horizontal plate 401 and an L-shaped plate 403. The horizontal plate 401 is symmetrically installed on the top of the placement plate 1. A sliding hole 402 is provided on one side of each horizontal plate 401. The L-shaped plate 403 is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the U-shaped plate 3. A T-shaped rod 404 is provided through the sliding hole 402. Both ends of the T-shaped rod 404 pass through and extend to the inside of the U-shaped plate 3 and the outside of the L-shaped plate 403, respectively. An internally threaded tube 405 is threaded on the outside of the T-shaped rod 404.

[0037] Depending on the size of the engine block, adjust the distance between the two sets of fixed shafts 5, rotate the internal threaded tube 405 outward, and one side of the internal threaded tube 405 separates from the outside of the L-shaped plate 403, while the T-shaped rod 404 simultaneously separates from one side of the U-shaped plate 3. Then move the U-shaped plate 3 laterally, and the U-shaped plate 3 drives the L-shaped plate 403 and the T-shaped rod 404 to move laterally along the inside of the sliding hole 402. After moving to a suitable position, rotate the internal threaded tube 405 towards the L-shaped plate 403 until the internal threaded tube 405 is tightly fitted to one side of the L-shaped plate 403, thus fixing the position of the U-shaped plate 3. After adjusting the distance between the U-shaped plates 3 to a suitable level, place the engine block. This will cause the engine block to be pressed down to an appropriate length at the end of the limit rod 9, and the distance between the engine block and the placement plate 1 will be closer, lowering the center of gravity of the engine block and making the transportation process more stable. At the same time, it will facilitate the disassembly and installation of the U-shaped plate 3.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a limiting ring 13 is sleeved on the end of the limiting rod 9, a limiting sleeve 10 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the limiting rod 9, an installation groove 11 is provided at the connection between the limiting sleeve 10 and the limiting rod 9, and an annular groove 12 matching the limiting ring 13 is provided on the inner side wall of the installation groove 11, and the annular groove 12 is movably connected to the limiting ring 13.

[0039] The limiting sleeve 10 is placed on the end of the limiting rod 9, so that the mounting groove 11 of the limiting sleeve 10 is engaged with the end of the limiting rod 9. Then, the limiting sleeve 10 is pressed towards the limiting rod 9, so that the limiting ring 13 at the end of the limiting rod 9 is engaged in the annular groove 12 inside the mounting groove 11. The limiting sleeve 10 plays a limiting and anti-slip role.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a buffer pad is further provided on the top of the placement plate 1, and semi-circular particles are evenly distributed on the buffer pad. The buffer pad is made of nitrile rubber with a Shore hardness of 60HA and a thickness of 10mm.

[0041] The buffer pad on top of the placement plate 1 can cushion the impact force when the cylinder is placed, thus avoiding damage caused by hard contact; the semi-circular particles can increase the friction between the cylinder and the placement plate 1, improving the stability in the initial stage of placement.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the counterweight 8 is made of high-density cast iron, and a protective layer is provided on the outside of the counterweight 8. The counterweight 8 and the fixing rod 7 are fixed by welding.

[0043] The counterweight 8 is made of high-density cast iron to ensure sufficient inertial force. When the cylinder is not placed, the weight of the counterweight 8 causes the end of the limit rod 9 to tilt upward, maintaining the overall stability during use. The outer protective layer can prevent the counterweight 8 from colliding with other components, which would cause noise or wear. The welding fixing method enhances the structural connection strength and extends the service life.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the top of the horizontal plate 401 is further provided with scale lines, and the top of the scale lines is provided with a wear-resistant layer.

[0045] The scale lines on the top of the horizontal plate 401 provide an intuitive reference for adjusting the spacing of the U-shaped plate 3, making it easy to quickly and accurately match cylinders of different sizes; the wear-resistant layer can prevent the scale from becoming blurred after long-term use, ensuring long-term reliable adjustment accuracy and improving operating efficiency.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a reinforcing pad is further fixed on one side of the internally threaded tube 405, and the reinforcing pad is a rubber reinforcing pad.

[0047] The rubber reinforcing pad on one side of the internally threaded tube 405 can increase the friction with the L-shaped plate 403, prevent the internally threaded tube 405 from loosening after adjustment, and enhance the firmness of the U-shaped plate 3.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] The solutions in Embodiments 1 and 2 will be further described below with reference to their specific working methods.

[0050] According to the engine block size, rotate the internal threaded tube 405 outward to separate it from the L-shaped plate 403; the operator holds the U-shaped plate 3 with both hands and moves the U-shaped plate 3 laterally along the sliding hole 402, driving the L-shaped plate 403 and the T-shaped rod 404 to move along the sliding hole 402. During the movement, observe the scale line on the top of the horizontal plate 401. After reaching the appropriate position, rotate the internal threaded tube 405 in the opposite direction until it fits tightly against the L-shaped plate 403. The U-shaped plate 3 is clamped on one side of the horizontal plate 401 through the internal threaded tube 405, thus completing the fixing of the U-shaped plate 3.

[0051] The engine block is placed above the placement plate 1. When the cylinder block falls, gravity presses down on one end of the limiting rod 9, causing the sleeve 6 to rotate, so that the other side fixing rod 7 and counterweight 8 are raised synchronously. The inclined lifting limiting rod 9 limits the cylinder block. Due to the difference in the shape of the outer side of the cylinder block, the limiting rod 9 is pressed down at different heights, forming an undulating support structure, which can accurately limit the cylinder block at different positions.

[0052] Insert the limiting sleeve 10 onto the end of the limiting rod 9 so that the mounting groove 11 engages with the limiting rod 9. Press the limiting sleeve 10 until the limiting ring 13 engages with the annular groove 12. The limiting sleeve 10 enhances the limiting and anti-slip effect, preventing cylinder body wobbling and wear.

[0053] The above description is only a further embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
