Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engine spring assembly technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary assembly device and method for spring assemblies of multiple types of aero engines. Background Technology

[0002] The assembly of the spring assembly for an aircraft engine is a crucial step in ensuring the adjustability of the engine's adjustable nozzle. The assembly process involves screwing the flat spiral spring into the disc-shaped component assembly, using a pin to position the spiral spring's tail hole, and then installing the bracket after adjusting the spring to the required torque.

[0003] Currently, there are many difficulties in assembling spring assemblies: (1) Due to the irregular bottom of the disc-shaped part of the spring assembly, it is difficult to stop during assembly; (2) Due to the large torque of the spiral spring and the lack of gap in the spring contact surface wound into the disc-shaped part, it is difficult for the positioning pin to pass through the spring positioning hole for positioning; (3) Before assembling the bracket, it is necessary to keep the spring within the required torque range by pulling the steel cable, but there is no special steel cable pulling tool, which makes it difficult to ensure that the torque of the spring does not change during the assembly of the bracket.
