Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for extracting injectors of diesel engines.
  • extractor tools are known which are used to remove the injectors of diesel engines, which are generally accommodated with an interlocking coupling in corresponding seats formed on the casings of such engines, each connected to a corresponding cylinder.
  • Single extractor tools are known for performing these interventions which essentially consist of a substantially tubular body which has an end that is adapted to abut against the engine casing and inside which there is a fixed female thread with which an externally threaded shank mates which lies along the axis of the tubular body and has an end that can be connected temporarily to the injector to be extracted and is directed toward such end of the tubular body.
  • the combined rotary and translational motion of the threaded shank is actuated manually by means of the rotation of an actuation nut, which is mated therewith and is arranged against a fixed abutment.
  • Double extractor tools which substantially consist of a supporting structure provided with two female threads arranged in a fixed position, with which respective externally threaded shanks of the type described above are mated.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks cited above of known extractor tools, by devising an apparatus for extracting injectors of diesel engines which is multiple, i.e., makes it possible to operate on all of the injectors that are present in the diesel engine being worked on as a consequence of a single positioning operation, so as to reduce the time and costs of such interventions.
  • an object of the present invention is to ensure correct positioning with respect to the engine being worked on, so as to limit the risks of damage of the involved mechanical parts.
  • a further object of the present invention is to be flexible in use as the geometric characteristics of the engine being worked on vary.
  • Another object of the present invention is to have a structure which is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe to use and effective in operation regardless of the experience and skills of the assigned operators, and also has relatively low costs.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates an apparatus for extracting injectors of diesel engines.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a supporting structure 2, which can be associated with a conventional diesel engine, at least one female thread assembly 3, which is associated with the supporting structure 2, at least one externally threaded shank 4 that is mated with the female thread assembly 3, means 5 for temporarily connecting the shank 4 to an injector during extraction, not shown because it is of a known type, and means for actuating the rotary and translational actuation of the shank 4 with respect to the female thread assembly 3.
  • the apparatus 1 has a single female thread assembly 3 with a respective shank 4, but it is possible to provide the apparatus with two or more female thread assemblies 3 which are mated to respective shanks 4 to allow simultaneous extraction of two or more injectors.
  • the supporting structure 2 is adapted to abut against the casing of the diesel engine being worked on in order to discharge thereon the force of reaction to the traction applied by means of the shank 4 on the injector being extracted.
  • the supporting structure 2 can be shaped in various manners depending on the specific geometry of the diesel engine being worked on, so as to optimize the distribution and extension of the areas of contact between the supporting structure 2 and the casing, reducing the risk of damage.
  • the female thread assembly 3 has a thick washer 6, in the through hole of which there is a seat for accommodating a radial bearing 7, the internal ring of which is provided internally with a female thread which engages the shank 4. There is also a ring 8 for retaining the bearing 7 in its seat.
  • the shank 4 is associated with the supporting structure 2 with at least one degree of freedom in translational motion along an axis (designated with the double arrow A in the figures) that is transverse and preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the shank.
  • the shank 4, which is jointly connected for translational motion along the axis A to the female thread assembly 3 with which it is engaged, can therefore vary continuously its working position within a path that lies along such axis.
  • the apparatus 1 is arranged so that the axis A is aligned, in plan view, with the direction along which the injectors to be extracted in the diesel engine being worked on are distributed.
  • the supporting structure 2 has guiding means 9 for the alternating sliding of the shank 4 along such path, which consists of an elongated slot that runs along the axis A and forms such path.
  • the shank 4 is inserted so as to pass through the slot 9 and the washer 6 is arranged so as to rest slidingly on the peripheral region of such slot.
  • the supporting structure 2 comprises two strips 10, which are arranged parallel to the axis A and lie on a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the shank 4; the strips 10 are kept mutually spaced by the interposition of two blocks 11 at the mutually opposite ends, so as to form a sort of quadrangular frame that delimits the slot 9.
  • the washer 6 is therefore arranged so as to rest slidingly on the strips 10.
  • the strips 10 and the blocks 11 are assembled to each other by means of connecting screws 12 which are inserted so as to pass through such blocks.
  • the supporting structure 2 further has first means 13 for resting contact against the casing of the diesel engine being worked on which are arranged in a fixed position.
  • the supporting structure 2 can have second means 14 for resting contact against the casing of the diesel engine being worked on, which can move along the axis A and are adapted to abut against such casing proximately to the current working position of the shank 4, so as to reduce the stress of the shank and of the injector during extraction.
  • the temporary connection means 5 can be implemented in different ways depending on the shape of the injector being extracted.
  • the temporary connection means 5 generally have a male threaded element 15, which is associated with the end of the shank 4 and, during use, is directed toward the diesel engine being worked on and which is adapted to be associated temporarily with a corresponding female thread provided on the injector being extracted.
  • the male threaded element 15 is preferably formed monolithically with the shank 4, consisting of a tang which is threaded at such end.
  • the temporary connection means 5 can have, in addition to or as an alternative to the male threaded element 15, a female threaded element 16, which is associated with the shank 4 and is adapted to be associated temporarily with a corresponding male thread provided on the injector being extracted.
  • the female threaded element consists of an internally threaded ring 16, which is fitted along the shank 4 proximately to such end.
  • the body of the injector is generally provided with an internally threaded seat for mating with a valve element, which is removed to prepare the injector for extraction, freeing a female thread in which the male threaded element 15 can engage.
  • the injector body is usually provided with an externally threaded collar for mating with an electrical connection element, which is removed to prepare the injector for extraction, by clearing a male thread in which the threaded female element 16 can engage.
  • the temporary connection means 5 can have, in addition to, or as a substitute for, the male threaded element 15 and/or the female threaded element 16, an element for reversible interlocking connection of the injector associated with the shank 4.
  • Such element which is not shown, is sized specifically depending on the geometry of the injector being extracted.
  • the actuation means are of the manual type and consist of an actuation nut 17, which is associated with the shank 4 in a fixed axial position, in abutment against the washer 6.
  • FIGS. 1 illustrated two embodiments of the apparatus 1 which differ in terms of the configuration of the first and second resting contact means, respectively 13 and 14, designed in relation to the geometry of the diesel engine being worked on according to methods that are known to the person skilled in the art, so as to ensure the stability of the apparatus 1 during execution of the intervention.
  • the first resting contact means 13 consist of a pair of feet arranged at the mutually opposite ends of the slot 9 and the second resting contact means 14 provide a foot which is arranged along such slot.
  • Each foot 13 or 14 consists of a cylinder 18, to the base of which a lamina 19 is fixed which is positioned along the slot 9 and is fixed by means of a screw 20, which enters such cylinder, pressing a perforated plate 21 into abutment against the strips 10.
  • the foot 14 is moved in each instance along the slot 9 for positioning the respective lamina 19 in abutment against the casing as closely as possible to the injector being extracted.
  • laminae 19 have different shapes in order to adapt to the geometry of the diesel engine being worked on.
  • the first resting contact means 13 have a contoured plate 22 which supports the strips 10 at one end of the slot 9 and the block 11 between them.
  • the second resting contact means 14 have a foot which consists of an abutment element 23, which is arranged along the slot 9 and is fixed by means of a screw 24, which enters such element, pressing a perforated plate 25 in abutment against the strips 10.
  • the apparatus In use, the apparatus 1, provided with suitable first resting contact means 13 and with optional second resting contact means 14 which are sized and shaped as a function of the geometry of the diesel engine being worked on, is positioned on the casing so that the slot A is superimposed in plan view on the direction along which the injectors are distributed.
  • the shank 4 is subjected to a translational motion jointly with the female thread assembly 3 along the slot 9, so as to arrange it at such injector (vertically superimposed thereon).
  • the movable foot 14 is arranged along the slot 9 proximately to the shank 4.
  • the shank 4 is thus screwed onto the female thread assembly 3 so as to move the temporary connection means 5 toward such injector until they engage with it.
  • the injector is freed from the temporary connection means 5 and the apparatus 1 can be used to remove another injector simply by repositioning the shank 4 and the female thread assembly 3 along the slot 9, without the need to reposition the supporting structure 2.
  • the described invention achieves the intended aim and objects, and in particular the fact is stressed that the invention proposes an apparatus which is flexible to use, allows the extraction of a plurality of injectors with minimal downtimes linked to the positioning of the apparatus.
