DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention is further described and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The technical features of each embodiment of the present invention can be combined accordingly without conflicting with each other.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the directions indicated by the X-axis and the Y-axis in the present invention are Figure 1 The coordinate axes are shown in , and will not be repeated later.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, a hydraulic tightening assembly system for aircraft engine blind cavity fasteners provided by the present invention is provided, and the assembly system mainly includes a nut tightening mechanism 3, a nut feeding mechanism 4, and a first bracket 2 and a display screen 5 installed on the frame 1. Among them, the first bracket 2 is located on the work table 25 on the top of the frame 1, and is used to fix the multi-stage wheel 23 to be assembled (in this embodiment, a three-stage wheel is preferably used) so that the multi-stage wheel 23 is in a state where the turbine shaft hole is horizontal and the blind hole is vertical. The nut feeding mechanism 4 is used to extend from one end of the multi-stage wheel 23 along the turbine shaft hole, and feed the nut to the working head 16 of the nut tightening mechanism 3 extending from the other end of the multi-stage wheel 23. The nut tightening mechanism 3 is used to sequentially feed the nuts to the target screws in the blind cavity, and then perform the tightening operation.

[0035] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is composed of a plurality of long bars and a work surface 25. The long bars are connected in pairs by bolts to form an external frame structure, and then the work surface 25 is fixed to the top of the external frame structure by bolts, and the work surface 25 serves as a support plate for fixing the first bracket 2 and the display screen 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the nut feeding mechanism 4 mainly includes a push rod seat 18, an axis hole positioning seat 19, a push rod 20, a positioning pin 21 and a nut elastic collet 22. The push rod seat 18 is a long strip structure, on which an axis hole positioning seat 19 matching the size of the turbine shaft hole is fixed, that is, when the push rod seat 18 is inserted into the turbine shaft hole, it cannot rotate around the axis under the limit of the axis hole positioning seat 19, and can only move in translation along the turbine shaft hole. The end of the push rod seat 18 used for inserting into the turbine shaft hole is provided with a nut elastic collet 22 and a positioning pin 21, the nut elastic collet 22 is used to clamp the nut, and the positioning pin 21 is used to position and assemble with the nut tightening mechanism 3. A push rod 20 that can move in the axial direction is provided on the push rod seat 18. One end of the push rod 20 is slidably connected to the push rod seat 18, and the other end is in the same horizontal plane as the nut elastic collet 22. By moving the push rod 20, the nut clamped on the nut elastic collet 22 can be pushed out and enter the working head 16 of the nut tightening mechanism 3.

[0037] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the nut tightening mechanism 3 has 5 degrees of freedom, including 4 rotation axes (i.e., axis a1, axis a2, axis a3, and axis a4) and 1 moving axis. Structurally, the nut tightening mechanism 3 mainly includes a positioning seat 8, a telescopic arm 9, a middle swing arm 10, an upper swing arm 11, and a working head 16. A hand wheel is provided on the positioning seat 8, and by turning the hand wheel, the nut tightening mechanism 3 can be rotated as a whole around the X axis, i.e., around Figure 4The central axis a1 rotates. The end of the positioning seat 8 that is used to extend into the turbine shaft hole is provided with a shaft hole positioning piece that matches the size of the turbine shaft hole. The shaft hole positioning piece can make the hand wheel be located outside. The telescopic arm 9 is slidably connected to the positioning seat 8 and driven by the hydraulic cylinder 12 fixed to the positioning seat 8 to achieve X-axis translation, such as Figure 4 The front end of the telescopic arm 9 is rotatably connected to the middle swing arm 10; the middle swing arm 10 is driven by the first hydraulic swing cylinder 13 at one end connected to the telescopic arm 9 to realize rotation around the Y axis, that is, around Figure 4 The middle axis a2 rotates, and the other end is connected to the upper swing arm 11. The upper swing arm 11 is connected to the middle swing arm 10 through the second hydraulic swing cylinder 14 to realize the rotation around the Y axis, that is, around Figure 3 The central axis a3 rotates, and the other end is provided with a working head 16 for rotating around the X axis to tighten the nut. Figure 3 The working head 16 is provided with a micro camera 17 with a light source, and the micro camera 17 is used to obtain the internal image of the blind cavity. Meanwhile, the micro camera 17 is also connected to the display screen 5, and can reflect the internal image of the blind cavity obtained in real time on the display screen 5.

[0038] In actual use, the nut tightening mechanism 3 uses the cooperation between the middle swing arm 10, the upper swing arm 11 and the telescopic arm 9 to enter the working area, and the hand wheel is operated to realize the rotation of the nut tightening mechanism 3 around the axis a1, adjust the circumferential angle, and tighten the nut by hydraulic drive to meet the nut tightening force requirements. At the same time, the micro camera 17, the light source and the display screen 5 work together to check the situation inside the blind cavity, and operate the hand wheel for circumferential adjustment.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to realize the positioning and assembly of the nut tightening mechanism 3 and the nut feeding mechanism 4, a pin hole matching the positioning pin 21 is provided on the working head 16. When the pin hole and the positioning pin 21 are assembled, the working head 16 and the nut elastic chuck 22 are also in the same horizontal plane, and the nut clamped on the nut elastic chuck 22 can be pushed out and enter the working head 16 through the push rod 20. The working head 16 can also be in the form of an elastic chuck. Since the working head 16 needs to ensure unidirectional rotation to realize the tightening of the nut, a ratchet mechanism is provided at the working head 16, and the ratchet is driven by the third hydraulic swing cylinder 15 to realize the unidirectional rotation and tightening of the working head 16.

[0040] In this embodiment, if Figure 7As shown, one side of the first hydraulic swing cylinder 13 is equipped with teeth, and its reciprocating motion can drive the multi-stage gear meshing transmission, and the last stage gear is connected to the rotating shaft between the middle swing arm 10 and the telescopic arm 9, driving the middle swing arm 10 to rotate around the Y axis as a whole. The reciprocating motion of the second hydraulic swing cylinder 14 can drive the multi-stage gear meshing transmission, and the last stage gear is connected to the rotating shaft between the upper swing arm 11 and the middle swing arm 10, driving the upper swing arm 11 to rotate around the Y axis as a whole.

[0041] In this embodiment, a control system 6 and a hydraulic system 7 are also provided on the frame 1. The hydraulic system 7 provides the required hydraulic driving force, and the control system 6 is used to integrate the required control and software systems. The control system 6 is connected to the display screen 5, and the hydraulic system 7 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 12, the first hydraulic swing cylinder 13, the second hydraulic swing cylinder 14 and the third hydraulic swing cylinder 15 to provide hydraulic driving force. The control system 6 can adjust the movement of the five degrees of freedom of the nut tightening mechanism 3 through the hydraulic system 7. In actual application, the hydraulic system 7 can be placed on the frame 1 below the hydraulic system 7, and the control system 6 is installed in the control cabinet, and the control cabinet is fixed to the side of the frame 1.

[0042] For the convenience of operation, a second bracket 24 for placing the nut tightening mechanism 3 is also provided on the work surface 25. After each target screw of the multi-stage wheel 23 is tightened, the nut tightening mechanism 3 can be withdrawn and placed on the second bracket 24.

[0043] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the assembly method using the hydraulic tightening assembly system for the above-mentioned aircraft engine blind cavity fastener is as follows:

[0044] S1: Fix the multi-stage wheel 23 to be assembled on the first bracket 2 with the blind cavity vertical and the turbine shaft hole horizontal. Then, insert the nut tightening mechanism 3 into the turbine shaft hole from one end of the multi-stage wheel 23 through the shaft hole positioning piece. Adjust the telescopic arm 9 to translate along the X-axis so that the working head 16 is located in the target blind cavity.

[0045] S2: Place a nut on the nut elastic chuck 22 of the nut feeding mechanism 4, then insert the nut feeding mechanism 4 into the turbine shaft hole from the other end of the multi-stage wheel 23 and position and assemble it with the nut tightening mechanism 3 through the positioning pin and the pin hole, send the nut into the working head 16 by moving the push rod 20, and then withdraw the nut feeding mechanism 4 from the target blind cavity.

[0046] S3: Using the image inside the blind cavity obtained by the display screen 5 through the micro camera 17, by controlling the coordinated work between the middle swing arm 10, the upper swing arm 11 and the telescopic arm 9, the axis a2 and the axis a3 are rotated by a certain angle, driving the working head 16 to approach the target screw to be installed. Then the working head 16 is used to push the nut in, while rotating in one direction around the axis a4 and cooperating with the axis a1 to achieve the tightening target. In this process, the tightening torque requirement is met through the hydraulic system 7 and the control system 6.

[0047] S4: Reset the nut tightening mechanism 3 and repeat steps S2 to S3. In this process, the working head 16 is moved closer to the next target screw to be installed by rotating the hand wheel until all target screws are tightened to complete the assembly process.

[0048] The present invention has the functions of realizing hydraulic tightening in the blind cavity of a turbine blade, accurately controlling the tightening torque, and performing real-time monitoring of the tightening process.
