Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engine technology, specifically a new type of engine timing tool. Background Technology
[0002] Timing is a crucial component of the engine's valve train system. Through its connection to the crankshaft and a specific gear ratio, it ensures the accurate timing of intake and exhaust. The function of timing is to ensure that the piston stroke, valve opening and closing, and ignition sequence remain synchronized throughout the engine's operation. The engine's timing mechanism ensures that each cylinder achieves the following: the piston reaches top dead center, the valve closes, and the spark plug ignites precisely. However, the spatial positions of these components are easily altered during maintenance, and these alterations are difficult and time-consuming to correct. To prevent these changes during maintenance, components such as the camshaft must be secured before disassembly to prevent rotation.
[0003] However, current engine timing maintenance tools are often quite basic and have limited functionality. They can usually only clamp and secure the camshaft in a basic way, achieving only preliminary and simple positioning and clamping of the camshaft. They lack effective means to further strengthen the fixation. In other words, after the initial clamping operation of the camshaft is completed, it is difficult to implement more stable fixation measures on the camshaft. Due to the lack of additional fixation guarantees, the position of the camshaft is easily changed under the influence of these factors. Once the position of the camshaft changes, the originally precise timing setting will be broken. This will undoubtedly cause great trouble for the operator's timing maintenance work. If the change in the position of the camshaft is not detected in time, it may also cause the engine to fail to run normally after maintenance, or even cause more serious damage to the engine. This not only reduces work efficiency but also increases the difficulty and complexity of the work. Utility Model Content

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 With appendix Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a novel engine timing tool, comprising:
[0024] Connector 1, with a handle 101 fixedly connected to the bottom of connector 1, two locking blocks 102 fixedly connected to the left side of the front of connector 1, and a locking plate 103 fixedly connected to the right side of the front of connector 1. A limiting groove 104 is opened on the right side of the front of connector 1, and a square groove 105 is opened through the middle of the locking plate 103.
[0025] The clamping assembly 2 is located on the right side of the front of the connector 1. The connector 1 includes two horizontal plates 201 and two rotating rods 202. The two horizontal plates 201 are fixedly connected to the right side of the front of the connector 1. The top and bottom of the two horizontal plates 201 are rotatably connected to lead screws 203 via bearings. One end of each lead screw 203 horizontally penetrates the clamping plate 103 and extends into the inner cavity of the square groove 105. A first bevel gear 204 is fixedly connected to one end of each lead screw 203 penetrating the clamping plate 103. A clamping block 205 is fitted on the outer ring of each lead screw 203. A lead screw hole 206 is opened through the top of each clamping block 205. A limit block 207 is fixedly connected to the right side of each clamping block 205. The two rotating rods 202 are rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the square groove 105 via bearings. One end of each rotating rod 202 horizontally penetrates the connector 1 and extends to the outside, penetrating one of the connecting parts of the connector 1. One end of each rotating rod 202 is fixedly connected to a ring 208. The lead screw hole 206 and the limiting block 207 are respectively adapted to the lead screw 203 and the limiting groove 104. Two clamping blocks 205 are fitted onto the outer ring of the lead screw 203 through the lead screw hole 206, and are slidably connected to the connector 1 in the limiting groove 104 through the limiting block 207. The outer rings of the two rotating rods 202 are fitted with gears 209, and the two gears 209 are meshed together. The left side of each of the two rotating rods 202 is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 210, and the two second bevel gears 210 are meshed with the corresponding first bevel gear 204. One side of each of the two locking blocks 102 is fixedly connected to a first fastening pad 106, and the front of the locking plate 103 is fixedly connected to a second fastening pad 107. The first fastening pad 106 and the second fastening pad 107 are both made of rubber. An auxiliary component 3 is provided on the front of the connector 1.
[0026] As can be seen from the above, the connecting part 1 is easy to operate by hand via the handle 101, and the locking block 102 and locking plate 103 can initially position and clamp the camshaft and other components. The first fastening pad 106 and the second fastening pad 107 are made of rubber, which can play a role in anti-slip and protecting the components when clamping. The design of the clamping assembly 2 is particularly critical. When the ring 208 is rotated, the two rotating rods 202 are driven to rotate through the meshing transmission of the gear 209, which in turn causes the second bevel gear 210 to mesh with the first bevel gear 204, causing the lead screw 203 to rotate. Since the lead screw hole 206 is adapted to the lead screw 203, and the limiting block 207 cooperates with the limiting groove 104, the clamping block 205 will slide along the limiting groove 104 under the rotation of the lead screw 203, thereby achieving further clamping and fixing of the camshaft and other components. This structural design provides additional fixing protection and effectively avoids the change of component position during maintenance.
[0027] Example 2:
[0028] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 and attached Figure 4As shown, the auxiliary component 3 includes a fixing plate 301 fixedly connected to the center of the front of the connector 1. Both sides of the fixing plate 301 are fixedly connected with locking teeth 302, and both locking teeth 302 are of model SSP658.
[0029] As can be seen from the above, the fixing plate 301 is fixed in the middle of the front of the connector 1. The locking teeth 302 on its left and right sides are model SSP658. The locking teeth 302 can mesh with the gear structure on the camshaft, playing an auxiliary positioning and fixing role. On the basis of fixing the camshaft and other components by the locking block 102, the locking plate 103 and the clamping assembly 2, the tool fixing stability and reliability can be further improved. This allows the timing tool to fix the relevant components more accurately and firmly during engine maintenance, reducing the occurrence of timing set breakage due to component position changes, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of maintenance work and reducing the risk of engine damage.
[0030] Working principle: First, the engine components such as the camshaft are initially clamped by the left-side clamping block 102 and right-side clamping plate 103 of the connecting part 1. The rubber first fastening pad 106 and second fastening pad 107 on the surface of the clamping block 102 and clamping plate 103 can prevent slipping and protect the surface of the components. The handle 101 facilitates hand operation and ensures the relative position stability of the tool and the components. Then, the outer ring 208 is rotated, which drives the rotating rod 202 fixedly connected to it to rotate. The gears 209 on the outer rings of the two rotating rods 202 mesh with each other, so that the two rotating rods 202 rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The second bevel gear 210 on the left side of the rotating rod 202 meshes with the first bevel gear 204 at the end of the lead screw 203, thus holding the rotating rod 202 in place. The horizontal rotation of screw 203 is converted into the axial rotation of screw 203. When screw 203 rotates, the clamping block 205 moves along the screw axis through screw hole 206, while the limiting block 207 slides in the limiting groove 104 to ensure that the clamping block 205 moves only in a straight line and avoids deviation. The two screws 203 rotate synchronously, driving the clamping blocks 205 on both sides to clamp the camshaft in the middle, forming a clamping force and strengthening the fixing effect. The SSP658 model clasps 302 on the left and right sides of the fixing plate 301 of auxiliary component 3 can accurately mesh with the tooth grooves of the gear on the camshaft. The clasps 302 provide additional positioning points through mechanical meshing to prevent the tool from rotating circumferentially during clamping, further improving the overall fixing stability.

Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
