Engine crankshaft is subject to impact load, transmission power of the important parts, the five pieces in the engine are the most difficult to ensure quality processing. Its material is from the carbon structure which made of steel or ductile iron, as a result of the poor working conditions, the crankshaft and the rough material processing technology, precision, surface roughness, heat treatment and surface hardening, dynamic balancing requirements are very stringent. If any of these are not a part of quality assurance that can be seriously affected the life of the crankshaft and machine reliability. There are two important parts of the crankshaft: shaft diameter, Po Drive, (and others). Shaft has been installed in the cylinder block, the Po Drive and connecting rod big hole, connecting rod and cylinder head piston connecting hole, is a typical slider-crank mechanism. Engine working process is that the Pistons after the blasting compressed gas mixture to promote the piston to do linear motion and force through the connecting rod to the crankshaft will be from the crankshaft to linear motion into rotary movement. The rotation of the crankshaft is the engine power source. The world automobile industry in developed countries are attach great importance to improve the processing crankshaft and crankshaft processing technology.
In crankshaft machining process between the central axis, with the axis center line of the location of the requirements have to be rough-axis positioning processing at both ends of the two central hole to center hole location on both ends and then rough, finishing the surface of
the shaft, and then to crude, refined of the two shaft after positioning, the use of dedicated processing fixture straight hole and the final rough keyway milling, grinding of the shaft.
In the fixture design process, mainly V-shaped block and bearing plates to locate by direct plate and nut to clamp, drill hole should be directly used for drilling long set of fast, used vertical milling keyway milling, crankshaft head should be installed on a knife block, fixture design should be convenient and simple.
