[0022] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientation, such as the orientation or positional relationship indicated by up, down, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" refers to more than two. The use of "first" or "second" is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a mounting flange installation tool according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a barrel 102 and a column 103. The outer diameter of the barrel 102 is adapted to the inner diameter of the mounting flange 101, and a clearance hole 105 is provided on the side wall of the barrel 102 corresponding to the buckle 104 of the mounting flange 101. The column 103 is adapted to the barrel 102 and can rotate within the barrel 102. The column 103 has a mounting hole 106 corresponding to the clearance hole 105, and a spring 107 is installed in the mounting hole 106. The spring 107 is connected to an abutment block 108. When the barrel 103 is located within the barrel 102, rotating the barrel 103 can cause the abutment block 108 to extend from the clearance hole 105 and abut against the buckle 104.

[0027] The above embodiment is applied to install the mounting flange 101, and the column 103 is adapted to the cylinder 102 so that the column 103 can be placed in the cylinder 102. Before installing the mounting flange 101, the column 103 is first placed in the cylinder 102 and the column 103 is rotated so that the abutment block 108 of the column 103 corresponds to the clearance hole 105 of the cylinder 102. At this time, the cylinder 102 and the column 103 form a whole, and the abutment block 108 can only move along the extension and contraction direction of the spring 107 under the restriction of the clearance hole 105; then the whole formed by the column 103 and the cylinder 102 is extended into the mounting flange 101, and the abutment block 108 can be abutted on the buckle 104 of the mounting flange 101 by rotating the column 103, thereby realizing the installation of the mounting flange 101. After mounting flange 101 is installed, pressure is applied to the entire embodiment to force abutment block 108 into mounting flange 101. Then, cylinder 103 is rotated to dislocate abutment block 108 and buckle 104 of mounting flange 101, and the installation tool can be removed. The present invention has a simple structure, facilitates mounting flange 101 installation, and has a long service life.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the end of the cylinder 102 away from the column 103 is closed. Since the cylinder 102 is closed, when the column 103 is placed in the cylinder 102, the bottom of the cylinder 103 is aligned with the bottom of the cylinder 102 to make the abutment block 108 and the clearance hole 105 of the cylinder 102 axially aligned. Then, the cylinder 103 is rotated to achieve the matching of the abutment block 108 and the clearance hole 105, which is more conducive to the positioning of the cylinder 103 in the cylinder 102. In addition, the relatively tight fit between the cylinder 102 and the column 103 prevents them from shaking at will.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that when the buckle 104 is aligned with the clearance hole 105, the disk surface of the mounting flange 101 is flush with the end surface of the open end of the cylinder 102. In this embodiment, during installation, the axial alignment of the clearance hole 105 and the buckle 104 is determined by observing whether the disk surface of the mounting flange 101 and the end surface of the open end of the cylinder 102 are flush.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it can be understood that a rotary wrench 109 is provided at one end of the column 103 away from the barrel 102. The provision of the rotary wrench 109 provides a fulcrum point for rotating the column 103, facilitating the rotation of the column 103 and saving manpower.

[0031] It is understood that when the abutment block 108 is aligned with the clearance hole 105, the end surface of the column 103 near the rotary wrench 109 is flush with the end surface of the open end of the cylinder 102. During installation, the axial alignment of the abutment block 108 and the clearance hole 105 can be determined by observing whether the end surface of the column 103 near the rotary wrench 109 is flush with the end surface of the open end of the cylinder 102.

[0032] It is understandable that the rotary wrench 109 is provided with a rubber protective layer.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that two springs 107 are provided between the abutment block 108 and the mounting hole 106. Since the mounting flange 101 has two buckles 104, the cylinder 102 has two clearance holes 105, and the column 103 has two mounting holes 106 and two abutment blocks 108. In this embodiment, two springs 107 are provided in each mounting hole 106. The two springs 107 in the same mounting hole 106 are connected to the corresponding abutment block 108, making the movement of the abutment block 108 more stable.

[0034] It is understandable that the column 103 is made of No. 50 steel.

[0035] It is understandable that the cylinder 102 is made of No. 50 steel.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the scope of the present invention.
