Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straightening machine technology, specifically to an engine crankshaft straightening machine. Background Technology
[0002] The most important component of a car is the engine, and the core component of the engine is the crankshaft. As a crucial part, the crankshaft has high technical requirements and production costs, making its remanufacturing a promising prospect. During operation, the crankshaft is subjected to the cyclical impact of in-cylinder gas forces, rotational inertia forces, and frictional forces. This creates complex alternating stresses such as bending, torsion, shearing, and tension in various parts of the crankshaft. Under such complex forces over a long period, local deformation of the crankshaft can easily occur, affecting the coaxiality of the main journals, and consequently impacting the engine's lifespan and the vehicle's safety.
[0003] When straightening a crankshaft using a straightening machine, the operator needs to insert the crankshaft into the machine. Due to the height difference between the operator and the straightening machine, the crankshaft is easily inserted at an angle. This can easily cause damage to the crankshaft end due to the tilted feeding. Furthermore, a special device is needed to move the crankshaft during operation, which is inconvenient. The angle of the straightening equipment is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the bending angle of the crankshaft, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

The motor 21 works, and the output shaft of the motor 21 can drive the lead screw 22 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 22 can drive the screw sleeve 24 to move. The screw sleeve 24 can drive the moving plate 23 to move. The moving sleeve 26 can support and guide the moving plate 23 by moving along the fixed rod 25. The moving plate 23 can drive the conveyor roller 27 to move via the rotating rod 28, so that the front conveyor roller 27 and the rear conveyor roller 27 can be brought closer or further apart. In this way, the distance between the front and rear conveyor rollers 27 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the engine crankshaft.
[0022] A drive mechanism 3 is provided above the conveying assembly 2. The drive mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31, pulleys 32, and an L-shaped plate 33.

Through the continuous work of the drive mechanism 3, the engine crankshaft can move along the straightening rollers 53, thereby straightening the engine crankshaft.
[0025] The straightening assembly 5 is connected to the U-shaped seat 1 via an adjustment mechanism 6. The adjustment mechanism 6 includes a top plate 61, an adjustment motor 62, and a rectangular frame 63. The top plate 61 is located above the straightening assembly 5.

The U-shaped frame 1 51 and U-shaped frame 2 52 can drive the straightening roller 53 to rotate through the rotating shaft 54. Thus, the angle of the straightening roller 53 can be adjusted according to the bending angle of the engine crankshaft, which is convenient for straightening the engine crankshaft.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] The drive motor 31 operates, and its output shaft drives the pulley 32 to rotate. The pulley 32, via the belt 34, drives the rear conveyor roller 27 to rotate. Since both the front and rear conveyor rollers 27 are in contact with the engine crankshaft, the rear conveyor roller 27 can convey the engine crankshaft when rotating. Simultaneously, the conveyor roller 27 can straighten the front and rear sides of the engine crankshaft. The electric motor 21 operates, and its output shaft drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. The lead screw 22 rotates, causing the screw sleeve 24 to move. The screw sleeve 24 moves the moving plate 23. The moving sleeve 26, moving along the fixed rod 25, supports and guides the moving plate 23. The moving plate 23, via the rotating rod 28, drives the conveyor roller 27 to move, allowing the front and rear conveyor rollers 27 to move closer or further apart, thus adjusting the distance between the front and rear conveyor rollers 27 according to the diameter of the engine crankshaft. The hydraulic cylinder 41 operates, and its telescopic end drives the support plate 42 to move up and down. This allows for adjustment of the height of the support plate 42, thus providing support for engine crankshafts of different diameters. The adjusting motor 62 operates, and its output shaft drives the corresponding worm wheel 66 via the worm gear 68. The worm wheel 66, through the support rod 67, drives the U-shaped frame 51 and U-shaped frame 52 to rotate. The U-shaped frame 51 and U-shaped frame 52, through the rotating shaft 54, drive the straightening roller 53 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the straightening roller 53 according to the bending angle of the engine crankshaft, facilitating straightening of the engine crankshaft. The engine crankshaft is passed between two adjacent straightening rollers 53. The adjusting mechanism 6 then operates, driving the straightening roller 53 up and down via the U-shaped frame 51, U-shaped frame 52, and rotating shaft 54, thereby adjusting the distance between the two adjacent straightening rollers 53, bringing the straightening roller 53 into contact with the engine crankshaft. The continuous operation of the driving mechanism 3 allows the engine crankshaft to move along the straightening roller 53, thus straightening the engine crankshaft.
