Research on Roundness Error Evaluation of Connecting Rod Journal in Crankshaft Journal Synchronous Measurement

Abstract

The crankshaft is the core part of an automobile engine, and the accuracy requirements of various shape and position errors are very high. On the basis of a synchronous measurement system, the connecting rod journal is deeply studied, including data processing and roundness evaluation. Firstly, according to the measuring processes of connecting rod journals, the real sampling angle distribution function was established, and the corresponding Gaussian weight function of each sampling angle was calculated. The weight function and the collected data corresponding to the angle were subjected to discrete cyclic convolution operation in the spatial domain to obtain the filtered effective circular contour data. Secondly, the particle swarm optimization algorithm was improved, and its inertia weight was set to decrease nonlinearly to speed up the convergence. A calculation process suitable for the evaluation of journal errors was designed. Then, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to evaluate the roundness of the corrected rod journal contour data. At last, through multiple measurement experiments, the feasibility and effectiveness of the synchronous measurement scheme and data processing method proposed in this paper are verified.

Research on the measurement method of crankshaft coaxiality error based on three-dimensional point cloud

“…As an important component of engine, crankshaft is the main power source, which can output the linear motion of piston and connecting rod into torque, and then realize the transmission of power [1]. As the most difficult to ensure the machining quality of the key parts of the power machinery, the roundness, coaxiality and parallelism of its connecting rod journals, main shaft journals and other key positions and other shape and dimensional errors have a direct impact on the life of the engine, noise and vibration, etc [2], and thus the measurement of the crankshaft journal shape error is particularly important.…”

Precision Measurement Method of Large Shaft Diameter Based on Dual Camera System

“…The crankshaft has a complex structure and many process parameters. Among them, the shape error of the crankshaft main journal and connecting rod journal is an important indicator to measure the process quality [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Currently, the parameters of crankshaft are generally measured by manually using vernier calipers, spiral micrometers, and three-coordinate measurement [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], or the contact-type special measurement equipment [ 11 , 12 ].…”
