Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a disassembly tool for aircraft parts, in particular to a disassembly device for aircraft wire harness and wire pipe joints. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft wire harness conduits are widely used in the bearing and protection of aircraft wire harnesses, especially the wire harness conduits of landing gear systems. In harsh working environments, the metal mesh of the wire harness conduits will be damaged, and sometimes the wire harness inside the wire harness conduits also needs to be repaired. The wire harness conduit joint includes a metal bushing, a metal clamp, a plastic conduit and a metal mesh. The wire harness conduit joint is installed at the end of the wire harness conduit. The metal mesh of the conduit is closed by a metal bushing and firmly fixed to the conduit joint by an integrally formed metal clamp. The end of the plastic conduit is inside the conduit joint and is wrapped inside the metal mesh as a whole. At present, there are no tools available from foreign original manufacturers, and there are no similar tools available in China. Because the metal clamp is difficult to disassemble intact, when the conduit needs to be repaired, it can only be scrapped together with the wire harness and directly replaced with new aviation materials, resulting in excessively high maintenance costs.
