Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical assembly technology, and specifically relates to a directional tightening tool for integrated nut assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The tracks on a tracked armored vehicle's running gear are formed by connecting track plates, track pins, nuts, and other components of varying sizes, shapes, and quantities using connectors. This creates a ring-shaped track, providing flexible support for the entire vehicle and enabling it to move freely, adapting to different road conditions and improving vehicle mobility. The consistency and reliability of the track pins and nuts connecting the track plates, as well as the tightening torque of the nuts, play a crucial role in the reliability and service life of the entire vehicle's track system. Among these, the consistency and reliability of the tightening torque of the self-locking nuts integrated onto the track pins are key factors affecting performance. Therefore, it is necessary to design a directional tightening tool for these integrated nuts to ensure proper nut tightening when assembling tracks of different types and sizes.

[0024] To make the objectives, contents, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0025] This embodiment proposes a directional tightening tool for integrally assembled nuts, the structure of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it mainly includes a fixed directional sleeve 1, a rotating sleeve 2, and a torque wrench 3.

[0026] The fixed directional sleeve 1, as the fixed end of the directional tightening tool, is made of high-strength chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. It has a hexagonal through hole machined in the center, which is used to randomly mate with the six sides of the lower locking nut to fix the lower nut. The upper end face of the fixed directional sleeve 1 is machined with a directional T-shaped groove for limiting the rotation angle of the rotating sleeve 2 and connecting and locking the rotating sleeve 2.

[0027] The rotating sleeve 2, serving as the nut locking end of the directional tightening tool, is also made of high-strength chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. It has a hexagonal blind hole machined in the center for mating with the six faces of the nut to be tightened on the upper side. The lower end face of the rotating sleeve 2 has a rotating T-slot that allows it to rotate and lock within the directional T-slot of the fixed directional sleeve 1. The rotating sleeve 2 achieves interlocking with the fixed directional sleeve 1 through the rotating T-slot. The top of the rotating sleeve 2 has an external hexagonal boss structure for connecting to the torque wrench 3. The top of the sleeve also has rotation direction and angle markings for easy identification of the rotation angle and torque during operation.

[0028] The torque wrench 3 is used to apply rotational force to the directional tightening tool. It is made of high-strength chromium-molybdenum alloy steel and has a hexagonal through hole machined in the center for connection with the external hexagonal boss structure on the rotating sleeve 2. Depending on the amount of force applied and the type of nut to be tightened, different lengths of torque wrench handles can be selected on the side of the torque wrench 3.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, when using the directional tightening tool of the present invention, first insert the fixed directional sleeve 1 and the rotating sleeve 2 of the directional tightening tool together and rotate them in opposite directions so that their two T-shaped slots are engaged. Then, put them on the pre-tightened upper nut 4 and lower nut 5. The fastening end faces of the fixed sleeve 1 and the lower nut 5 are tightly fitted. Then, put the torque wrench 3 on the hexagonal boss structure at the top of the rotating sleeve 2. After rotating the torque wrench 3, stop rotating when the rotating sleeve 2 and the fixed directional sleeve 1 reach a predetermined angle, thus realizing the fixed-angle locking action of the integrated combination nuts 4 and 5. Depending on the different locking angles of the nuts to be locked, the rotating sleeve 2 can be processed with rotating T-shaped slots of different angle specifications, and can be used in various combinations with the directional T-shaped slots of the fixed directional sleeve 1 to meet the locking requirements of different angles, thereby improving the versatility and utilization of the tool.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
