Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shipbuilding, and in particular to an auxiliary device and method for drilling a bolt cotter pin. Background Art

[0002] The production of hinged bolts is an essential step in the shipbuilding process. To ensure a secure connection and prevent the nut from loosening, the bolt cotter pin holes are usually located after the bolts and nuts are installed on the product. These holes are then marked, removed, and reinstalled at the marked locations for drilling, making the installation process complex. Furthermore, because the bolts and screw holes have an interference fit, hammering is required during installation. This process is affected by the skill and experience of the construction workers, leading to the risk of bolt damage and even injuries from hammering. This poses a risk to production schedules, cost control, and safe production, and goes against the principle of "get it right the first time, get it right the first time."

[0003] In the prior art, after the position of the bolt cotter pin is located, each bolt needs to be marked, which results in a complicated construction process and the problem that manual measurement and positioning may cause errors in the position of the cotter pin. Summary of the Invention

[0014] In some optional solutions, a locking mechanism is further included, which is provided on the guide cylinder and is used to limit the movement of the guide cylinder toward the adjustment cylinder.

[0015] In some optional solutions, the locking mechanism is a locking nut, which is arranged on the external thread and is used to support one end of the adjusting cylinder close to the guide cylinder.

[0016] In some optional solutions, the cross-section of the locking nut is an octagon.

[0017] In some optional solutions, the end of the guide cylinder away from the adjustment cylinder and the end of the adjustment cylinder away from the guide cylinder are both provided with a hexagonal shape.

[0018] In some optional solutions, the guide cylinder and the adjustment cylinder are both subjected to a tempering process.

[0024] Tighten the nut at the portion of the bolt extending out of the adjusting cylinder and perform drilling.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0026] When using the auxiliary device for drilling a cotter pin of a bolt, the screw portion of the bolt is inserted into the guide cylinder so that the end of the guide cylinder is abutted against the screw head of the bolt, and the adjusting cylinder is sleeved on the outer side of the guide cylinder. The relative positions of the guide cylinder and the adjusting cylinder are adjusted by the adjusting structure to adjust the length of the screw portion of the bolt extending out of the adjusting cylinder. Since the adjusting structure can adjust the relative positions of the guide cylinder and the adjusting cylinder to adjust the length of the screw portion of the bolt extending out of the adjusting cylinder, the length of the screw portion of the bolt extending out of the adjusting cylinder can be adjusted as needed, which facilitates drilling positioning, has a simple operation process, improves construction efficiency, and has a small error. This can solve the problem in the prior art that the construction process is complicated and manual measurement and positioning may cause errors in the cotter pin position.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the locking nut 5 is an octagon.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the locking nut 5 is an octagon, which can be easily rotated by the operator so that the locking nut 5 abuts against the end of the adjusting tube 2 close to the guide tube 1, making the operation more convenient.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the end of the guide cylinder 1 away from the adjustment cylinder 2 and the end of the adjustment cylinder 2 away from the guide cylinder 1 are both provided with hexagons.

[0050] In this embodiment, a hexagonal lock is provided at the end of the guide cylinder 1 away from the adjusting cylinder 2, and at the end of the adjusting cylinder 2 away from the guide cylinder 1, which can facilitate manual rotation by the operator to adjust the relative position of the guide cylinder 1 and the adjusting cylinder 2, and then adjust the length of the screw portion of the bolt extending out of the adjusting cylinder 2, thereby facilitating operation.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the guide cylinder 1 and the adjustment cylinder 2 are both subjected to a heat treatment process.

[0052] In this embodiment, the guide cylinder 1 and the adjustment cylinder 2 are both subjected to a quenching and tempering process, which can improve the structural strength of the auxiliary device for drilling a bolt cotter pin and extend its service life.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, a handle 6 is provided on the outer side wall of the adjusting cylinder 2 .
