The invention discloses a device and method for detecting the deflection of a main engine of a marine
diesel engine. The device for detecting the deflection of the main engine of the marine
diesel engine comprises line fixing and pulling frames fixed to the two ends of an engine base of the main engine of the
diesel engine, equal altitude blocks, a steel
wire rope and a measurer, wherein a tensioner is arranged on one line fixing and pulling frame, a tension
regulator is arranged on the other line fixing and pulling frame, one end of the steel
wire rope is connected through the tensioner, the other end of the steel
wire rope regulates the tension of the steel wire
rope to a specified value through the tension
regulator, then the deflection of the main engine of the marine diesel engine is measured, and whether the deflection of the main engine is within a control range is judged to detect whether the main engine meets requirements. The deflection of the main engine of the marine diesel engine is measured through the combination of the measurer commonly seen in the market, the tensioner and the tension
regulator fixed on the line fixing and pulling frames, the two equal altitude blocks and the steel wire
rope, detection accuracy is high, cost is low, and the device for detecting the deflection of the main engine of the marine diesel engine is suitable for being widely used by shipbuilding enterprises.
