Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signal wheel technology, and in particular to a powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel for an automobile engine. Background Technology
[0002] A powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel is a key component made by pressing and sintering metal powder. It is usually installed at the front end of the crankshaft and is used in conjunction with a crankshaft position sensor. Therefore, a powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel for automobile engines is used.
[0003] To address this, patent CN216951540U discloses a powder metallurgy signal wheel for automotive engines, comprising a signal wheel body. The signal wheel body includes a first signal tooth, a first wheel body, a second wheel body, and a second signal tooth. A central hole is formed at the center of the surface of both the first and second wheel bodies. An assembly hole is formed outside the central hole, a weight-reducing hole is formed outside the assembly hole, and a mounting hole is formed outside the weight-reducing hole. A first threaded hole is formed below the mounting hole. A strip-shaped mounting groove is formed on one side surface of both the first and second wheel bodies. A mounting block is installed between the strip-shaped mounting groove on the first wheel body and the strip-shaped mounting groove on the second wheel body. This invention facilitates the replacement of damaged first and second signal teeth, avoiding the need for complete replacement due to damage to either the first or second signal tooth, thus reducing usage costs and demonstrating strong practicality.
[0004] Although the powder metallurgy signal wheel for automobile engines avoids the situation where the entire invention needs to be replaced due to damage to the first or second signal tooth, its applicability is low because it is inconvenient to position and install with the crankshaft. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a signal wheel for a powder metallurgy crankshaft of an automobile engine, in order to solve the problem of inconvenient positioning of existing signal wheels for powder metallurgy crankshafts of automobile engines.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel for an automobile engine, comprising a signal wheel body;
[0007] The signal wheel body is equipped with a positioning structure inside;
[0008] The positioning structure includes a through hole penetrating the interior of the signal wheel body, a keyway is provided inside the signal wheel body on one side of the through hole, and a positioning groove is provided on one side of the bottom of the signal wheel body;
[0009] The outer side of the signal wheel body is provided with a protective structure.
[0010] When using this device, the positioning structure facilitates its installation, thereby improving the applicability of the automotive engine powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel; the protective structure also facilitates corrosion prevention, thus extending the service life of the automotive engine powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel.
[0011] Preferably, the signal wheel body forms an interference fit with the crankshaft through a through hole. Under the action of the keyway, it engages with the key on the crankshaft to transmit the crankshaft torque, ensuring that the signal wheel body rotates synchronously with the crankshaft and avoiding signal deviation caused by relative slippage.
[0012] Preferably, the centerline of the through hole is collinear with the centerline of the signal wheel body. The through hole enables the keyway and crankshaft to form an interference fit structure.
[0013] Preferably, the main cross-section of the positioning groove is circular. The positioning groove ensures accurate installation of the signal wheel body at the correct angle, thus facilitating its installation.
[0014] Preferably, the protective structure includes a galvanized layer, a high-temperature resistant coating, and an anti-corrosion coating. The galvanized layer is fixed to the outside of the signal wheel body, the outside of the galvanized layer is provided with a high-temperature resistant coating, and the outside of the high-temperature resistant coating is provided with an anti-corrosion coating.
[0015] Preferably, the high-temperature resistant coating is actually a ceramic coating. Under the action of the zinc plating layer, the signal wheel body can be protected, preventing rust and corrosion. Simultaneously, it provides a stable adhesion surface. Under the action of the high-temperature resistant coating, the signal wheel body is prevented from deforming or aging due to high temperatures.
[0016] Preferably, the anti-corrosion coating is actually an epoxy resin coating. Under the action of the anti-corrosion coating, corrosive media such as engine oil and fuel combustion products are further isolated, enhancing the corrosion resistance of the signal wheel body and thus extending its service life.
[0017] The advantages of the powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel for automobile engines provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0018] By incorporating a positioning structure, the signal wheel engages with the key on the crankshaft via a keyway to transmit crankshaft torque, ensuring that the signal wheel rotates synchronously with the crankshaft and preventing signal deviation caused by relative slippage. The through-hole allows the keyway and crankshaft to form an interference fit structure, and the positioning groove ensures accurate installation angle of the signal wheel, facilitating its installation. This facilitates the installation of the device and improves its applicability in the use of the automotive engine powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel.
[0019] By incorporating a protective structure, the galvanized layer protects the signal wheel body from rust and corrosion, while also providing a stable adhesion surface. The high-temperature resistant coating prevents deformation and material aging due to high temperatures. Furthermore, the anti-corrosion coating isolates the signal wheel from corrosive media such as engine oil and fuel combustion products, enhancing its corrosion resistance and extending its service life. This device effectively prevents corrosion and improves the service life of the automotive engine powder metallurgy crankshaft signal wheel. Attached Figure Description
