[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle engines, specifically to a device for detecting the depth of the retaining ring groove in an engine cylinder head. Background Technology
[0002] The circlip groove is a crucial part of the engine cylinder head. It's located within the cylindrical bore of the cylinder head, and its depth needs to be measured during machining. Currently, however, measuring the circlip groove depth requires dissecting the cylinder head, rendering it unusable and requiring scrapping. This results in extremely high costs for circlip groove depth measurement, consequently increasing production costs.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an engine cylinder head retaining ring groove depth detection device includes a measuring plate 1, which is inclined. The angle between the lower end face of the measuring plate 1 and the horizontal plane is α, and the angle α between the measuring plate 1 and the horizontal plane is 6±0.2°, which is the same as the angle between the upper end face of the engine cylinder head 9 and the horizontal plane. The two ends of the measuring plate 1 are connected and fixed to the engine cylinder head 9 by positioning pins 7. A mounting through hole 1-1 perpendicular to the ground is provided in the center of the measuring plate 1. An outer sleeve 2 is provided in the mounting through hole 1-1. The upper end of the outer sleeve 2 is installed in the mounting through hole 1-1, and the lower end of the outer sleeve 2 is installed in the cylindrical hole 10 of the engine cylinder head 9. A second mounting through hole 2-2 axially penetrating the outer sleeve 2 is provided in the center of the outer sleeve 2. The second mounting through hole 2-2 is a stepped hole. The upper end of the second mounting through hole 2-2 is a small diameter hole, and the lower end of the second mounting through hole 2-2 is a large diameter hole. A mounting hole 2-1 radially penetrating the outer sleeve 2 is provided in the middle section of the outer sleeve 2. The mounting hole 2-1 is interconnected with the second mounting through hole 2-2 and the snap ring groove 8. A second measuring shaft 4 is provided at the lower end of the second mounting through hole 2-2, and a first measuring shaft 6 is provided at the upper end of the second mounting through hole 2-2. The first measuring shaft 6 is connected and fixed to the second measuring shaft 4. The first measuring shaft 6 and the second measuring shaft 4 are connected and fixed by fixing bolts 5. A measuring shaft 3 is disposed on the outer side of the first measuring shaft 6. The measuring shaft 3 passes through the first measuring shaft 6 and is positioned above the second measuring shaft 4. The left and right ends of the measuring shaft 3 are installed in the mounting holes 2-1 and correspond to the retaining ring grooves 8. The first measuring shaft 6, the second measuring shaft 4, and the measuring shaft 3 are clearance-fitted with the outer sleeve 2. A second connecting groove 4-1 is disposed on the upper end of the second measuring shaft 4, and a second connecting protrusion 4-2 is disposed on the outer side of the second connecting groove 4-1. A first connecting groove 3-1 is disposed at the center of the lower end face of the measuring shaft 3, and a first connecting protrusion 3-2 is disposed on the inner side of the first connecting groove 3-1. The first connecting protrusion 3-2 corresponds to the second connecting groove 4-1, and the first connecting groove 3-1 corresponds to the second connecting protrusion 4-2.

[0016] The following is the method of using the testing device of this utility model: Place the measuring plate on the engine cylinder head and fix the measuring plate with the positioning pin. First, press down the outer sleeve and pull the first measuring shaft upward. The second measuring shaft will follow the first measuring shaft upward and retract into the outer sleeve. Place the outer sleeve into the mounting through hole of the measuring plate and the cylindrical hole of the cylinder head. Then, press down the first measuring shaft. The second measuring shaft will press down and separate from the measuring shaft. The left and right ends of the measuring shaft will extend out of the outer sleeve and enter the retaining ring groove. Continue to press down the first measuring shaft until it no longer moves axially. At this time, use a depth measuring ruler to measure the height difference between the upper end face of the outer sleeve and the upper end face of the measuring plate. If the height difference between the upper end face of the outer sleeve and the upper end face of the measuring plate is 0±0.3mm, the depth of the retaining ring groove of the engine cylinder head is qualified. If it is not within this size range, the depth of the retaining ring groove of the engine cylinder head is unqualified.
