In a rotation speed detecting apparatus of an internal combustion engine having a rotor supported by an end part of the crankshaft, a pulser ring that has a detected body composed of recess-projection teeth and rotates integrally with the rotor, and a detector that detects the rotation speed of the crankshaft by detecting the detected body, the detected body has a detected surface opposed to the detector, and the detected surface is inclined in such a manner as to be located closer to the outside of the crankshaft in the axial direction of the crankshaft as getting more apart from an axis line of the crankshaft in the radial direction. In the detector, an axis line of the detector is inclined with respect to the axis line of the crankshaft in such a manner that the detector is opposed to the detected surface.

A method for controlling deformation of a large-scale crankshaft comprising detecting and recording stress value(s) of part(s) to be regulated by the crankshaft; fixing the crankshaft on a tool to couple transmitting ends of high-energy acoustic beam transducers with the part(s) to be regulated; turning on the high-energy acoustic beam transducers to emit high-energy acoustic beams into the crankshaft, controlling working frequencies of the high-energy acoustic beam transducers within a range of 10-30 kHz, and setting a predicted regulation and control time according to the stress value(s) of the part(s) to be regulated; and closing the high-energy acoustic beam transducers when the predicted regulation and control time is reached, and taking the crankshaft out of the tool.

A modular crankshaft configured for use within a power end assembly. The modular crankshaft is configured to interconnect a drive shaft and a plurality of linear drive assemblies. The various embodiments of modular crankshafts disclosed herein are assembled by interconnecting a plurality of individual main bearing journals using a plurality of fasteners. One or more embodiments of modular crankshafts may also include individual connecting rod journals that are attached to individual main bearing journals using a plurality of fasteners.

Presented are crankshaft assemblies with internal stiffening structures, methods for making/using such crankshaft assemblies, and internal combustion engines equipped with such crankshaft assemblies. A crankshaft body, which is formed with a first material, includes multiple bearing journals that are mutually coaxial to rotate on a crankshaft axis and spaced from each other along the length of the crankshaft. Each bearing journal has an internal journal cavity. Multiple crankpins are longitudinally spaced from each and axially offset from the crankshaft's rotational axis. Each crankpin has an internal crankpin cavity. Multiple crank webs project radially from the crankshaft axis and interconnect the bearing journals with the crankpins. Each crank web has an internal web cavity. Disposed within the journal cavities, crankpin cavities, and/or web cavities is a stiffening bar formed with a second material having a modulus of elasticity that is greater than the modulus of elasticity of the first material.

The present invention provides a steel material which is excellent in both of the strength (particularly, fatigue strength) and the manufacturability (particularly, bending straightening properties), and thus can be used as an automobile component such as a crankshaft by being formed into a product shape, being subjected to a high strength treatment such as a nitrocarburizing treatment, and then being subjected to the bending straightening.

Disclosed is a crank shaft, including a central rotation shaft, a first eccentric component, a second eccentric component, a disc partition plate and an annular partition plate, wherein the disc partition plate is disposed between the first eccentric component and the second eccentric component, and is integrally formed with the central rotation shaft, and the annular partition plate is sleeved outside the disc partition plate. The crank shaft can prevent the occurrence of leakage between the partition plate and a roller while increasing an eccentricity of the crank shaft and improving operating performances of a compressor. Further disclosed are a pump body assembly having the crank shaft and a compressor.
