Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of machinery, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for disassembling the traction pin of a ball bearing structure. Background Technology
[0002] Existing diesel locomotive traction devices are four-bar linkages, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the key component, the traction pin assembly, is responsible for the flexible rotation of the traction device. The traction pin assembly consists of the traction pin, bushing, outer ring of the ball bearing, ball bearing, and retaining ring. During maintenance, it needs to be disassembled, the outer ring of the ball bearing and the ball bearing are replaced, and the traction pin is retained. The traction pin and the ball bearing have a clearance fit, but the clearance is only 0.05–0.10 mm. The traction pin assembly is disassembled approximately every 5 years (900,000 kilometers) of operation for diesel locomotives. Disassembly of the retaining ring and the outer ring of the ball bearing is simple, but the traction pin and the ball bearing, after long-term use, are corroded, and the spherical surface of the ball bearing is difficult to bear force, making disassembly very difficult. Typically, a hydraulic press with clamping fixtures is used for disassembly.
[0003] Currently, when disassembling and assembling the traction pin, the bushing and outer ring of the ball bearing are first removed. Three square plates are placed in a triangular arrangement under the hydraulic press. The retaining ring of the traction pin is placed in the middle of the triangle with one side facing down. Then, the position of the square plates is adjusted so that the three square plates can hold the outer side of the ball bearing. At the same time, the operator holds the traction pin upright by hand. Then, the hydraulic press is operated to squeeze the traction pin downwards, pressing the traction pin out of the ball bearing.
[0004] However, the existing technology has the following disadvantages: (1) It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The ball bearing has a spherical outer surface. When using a clamping plate to hold it, it cannot be clamped tightly and is very easy to slip. It is necessary to repeatedly confirm whether the position is correct before the hydraulic press applies the load. (2) It is highly dangerous. Since the spherical surface of the ball bearing cannot be clamped tightly, once it is not placed stably, it is very easy to deviate during the process of applying the load by the hydraulic press. At best, it will crush the traction pin, and at worst, it will crush the ball bearing, causing fragments to fly and injure people. (3) The operation time is long and the work efficiency depends entirely on the operator's skill and experience. (4) The ball bearing is relatively hard, and the fixed plate is often damaged under the pressure of the hydraulic press.
[0005] The prior art CN 209533267 U discloses a universal dismounting tool for deep groove ball bearings, which adopts spring steel as a hook, and the spring steel is deeply inserted into the gap of the deep groove ball bearing to adjust the size by elastic deformation, so that the hook can tightly hold the bearing and pull it out. Similarly, the prior art CN 218658841 U discloses a dismounting tool for ball bearings, which includes a base, a top rod and a pull rod. The pull rod is arranged on the base, and the bottom of the pull rod is provided with a clamping jaw which is used to extend into the gap of the ball bearing. The clamping jaw can pull the ball bearing out. However, the above-mentioned methods are not suitable for the traction pin of the ball bearing structure which is used heavily. The traction pin is gap-fitted with the ball bearing, but the gap is only 0.05-0.10mm. After long-term use, the traction pin and the ball bearing have rusted, and the hook is difficult to be deeply inserted into the gap.
[0006] The prior art CN 113954903 B discloses a dismounting device and method for locomotive traction pins. The dismounting device for locomotive traction pins includes a lifting device, a fixing device and a power device. The lifting device is fixed to the crank arm seat and is used to hold the traction pin when the traction pin is loose. The fixing device is used to fix the traction pin. The power device acts on the fixing device and provides power for the fixing device to dismount the fixing device and then dismount the traction pin. This technology also fixes the bolt in the traction pin and directly pulls out the traction pin. The technical problem solved is how to fix the traction pin and dismount it without damage. However, it does not specifically solve the dismounting problem of the traction pin of the ball bearing structure.
[0007] Therefore, there is little dismounting method and device for the traction pin of the ball bearing structure in the prior art, which can consider the simple operation of dismounting the ball bearing, save time and labor, and protect the ball bearing during the dismounting process. SUMMARY
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is how to provide a device and method for pressing out the traction pin from the ball bearing, which can consider the fixing of the ball bearing, safe and stable dismounting operation, simple operation, independence from the proficiency and experience of the operator, and the method and device for protecting the ball bearing and the traction pin.

[0016] Further, the vertical direction height of the fixture is greater than the distance from the platform of the first combination to the vertical direction end point of the trunnion ball bearing near the platform of the first combination.

[0044] The beneficial effects of the present application are further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 2a , Figure 2b The disassembly method of the present application includes:
[0046] S1, the traction pin ball bearing is processed, two inverted L-shaped force bearing platforms 41 are processed on the outer surface of the traction pin ball bearing on both sides, as shown in Figure 2b The horizontal distance between the two platforms near the vertical center axis of the bearing is d, d is less than the outer diameter of the ball bearing 4 and greater than the outer diameter of the traction pin 1, and the processed traction pin ball bearing is the first combination 9;
[0047] S2, a cradle with a first through hole 12 that can withstand pressure is vertically placed, the cradle is as shown inFigure 2a As shown in the drawings, the first through hole 12 is arranged along the vertical direction, and has a diameter d. The first combination 9 is taken, and the platform 41 is clamped at the first through hole 12 of the jig;
[0048] S3, a pressure is applied to the first combination 9 in the vertical direction, and the pressure is removed. When the traction pin 1 in the first combination 9 is pressed out of the ball bearing 4, the traction pin 1 falls into the first through hole 12 of the jig.
[0049] The present application adopts the method of machining and special jig cooperation. Two inverted L-shaped force platforms 41 are machined on the outer surface of the traction pin ball bearing. The two platforms 41 are the first combination 9, which overcomes the problem that the outer surface of the traction pin ball bearing is arc-shaped and cannot bear force, and is easy to slide during disassembly. The horizontal distance between the two platforms 41 near the vertical direction center axis of the bearing is d, which is smaller than the outer diameter of the ball bearing 4 and larger than the outer diameter of the traction pin 1. The distance ensures that the traction pin ball bearing can be clamped in the through hole, such as Figure 2a and Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, the first combination 9 can be better fixed, so that it can bear force better.
[0050] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the jig of S2 step is a cylindrical structure, a cuboid structure, a circular truncated cone structure or a prismatic truncated cone structure.
[0051] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2a The jig of S2 step is a stepped cylindrical structure, which includes a column 10 and an annular step 11. The diameter of the annular step 11 is larger than that of the column 10.
[0052] The jig structure of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned structure. The jig structure for fixing the first combination 9 is within the protection scope of the present application. The present application adopts the stepped cylindrical structure, and the annular step 11 can make the jig more stable.
[0053] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2a The jig includes a base 8 and a gland 7. The gland 7 is arranged at the top end of the base 8. The gland 7 is an annular disc structure with a second through hole. The diameter of the second through hole is d.
[0054] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the vertical direction height of the jig is greater than the distance from the platform 41 of the first combination 9 to the vertical direction endpoint of the traction pin ball bearing near the platform 41 of the first combination 9.
[0055] The vertical direction height of the jig of the present application is greater than the distance from the platform 41 of the first combination 9 to the vertical direction endpoint of the traction pin ball bearing near the platform 41 of the first combination 9. The function is that when disassembling, the first combination 9 is stressed, so that the traction pin 1 is more convenient to fall off from the ball bearing 4.
[0056] The split structure of the fixture setting base 8 and the cover 7 in the application, when the force is removed during the process, the first combination 9 transmits the pressure to the fixture, the cover 7 directly bears the pressure when the traction pin ball bearing is removed, and the base 8 bears the transmission force of the cover 7; in this process, the cover 7 protects the base 8 from deformation, and under the long-term pressure, the pressure borne is as shown in the formula, the pressure P of the oil press is decomposed into two direction forces, F and M. The chamfer of the force point will be deformed due to long-term pressure, so that it becomes a round corner, thereby increasing F and reducing M, and the traction pin 1 ball shaft is difficult to remove. The application sets the cover 7 on the base 8, when the cover 7 is deformed due to long-term force, the edge of the cover 7 can be replaced to fit the first combination 9, thereby avoiding the difficulty in disassembly caused by the deformation of the base 8 under long-term force. Figure 3
[0057] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the cover 7 has the same structure on the front and back surfaces, and can be used on both surfaces.
[0058] The use of the cover 7 on both surfaces in the application can effectively utilize the other surface when the cover 7 is found to be deformed, thereby increasing the service life of the fixture.
[0059] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the cover 7 is made of 42CrMo quenching and forming, and / or the quenching hardness of the cover 7 is HRC50~52.
[0060] The application adopts the cover 7 made of quenching and forming, and the machining process and hardness of the cover 7 are greater than those of the base 8 and the first combination 9, thereby prolonging the service life of the fixture.
[0061] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the cover 7 comprises one or more third through holes for connecting with the base 8.
[0062] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the top end of the base 8 comprises one or more grooves corresponding to the third through holes for connecting with the cover 7.
[0063] In some embodiments, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the third through hole is a threaded hole for connecting the base 8 and the cover 7 through the bolt 6.
[0064] The third through hole of the application is matched with the bolt.
[0065] The application sets the third through hole on the cover 7 and the base 8, and connects the cover 7 and the base 8 through the bolt 6, so that the cover 7 and the base 8 are fixed when the first combination 9 is removed, and displacement does not occur between the cover 7 and the base 8, and when the cover 7 needs to be replaced, the detachable structure connected by the bolt 6 can facilitate the replacement of the cover 7.
[0066] In some embodiments, the present application also provides a ball bearing structure traction pin dismounting device, comprising the fixture used in any of the foregoing dismounting methods (as shown in Figure 2a ) and the ball bearing 4 processed in any of the foregoing dismounting methods (as shown in Figure 2b ).
