Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft engine assembly technology, and in particular to a device for horizontal assembly of aircraft engine fan components. Background Technology
[0002] Horizontal assembly of an aero-engine refers to the installation and connection of the various components that make up the engine. When the basic components of the engine assembly are docked and connected with other components to be installed, their axes are in a horizontal state. The horizontal assembly process requires the use of specific tooling fixtures to overcome the effect of gravity and align the axes of the components.
[0003] Compared to the currently common vertical assembly process for aero engines in China, the horizontal assembly process has advantages such as smaller operating space requirements and higher assembly efficiency. It is more suitable for the extremely limited space on the decks and hangars of aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, and can meet the requirements of maintaining and repairing aero engines within the projected area of carrier-based fighter jets. However, to achieve horizontal centering of the fan assembly, the spatial structure of the fan rotor itself presents challenges such as difficulty in axial and radial positioning of the rotor and stator, and high positioning accuracy.

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0043] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this invention is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0044] Combination Figure 15 As shown, the fan assembly of an aero-engine includes a fan stator and a fan rotor disposed inside the fan stator. A casing is disposed outside the fan stator, and there are mounting edges on the casing. The fan rotor has a hollow inner bore, and a fan nut is disposed in the inner bore of the fan rotor. A stud is disposed on the journal section of the fan stator.
[0045] Combination Figures 1 to 14 The diagram shows a specific embodiment of the device for horizontal assembly of an aircraft engine fan assembly provided by the present invention. The device includes a chassis assembly 1 and a clamping assembly 9 for clamping the fan assembly. A support plate 2 is provided on the top of the chassis assembly 1; the support plate 2 is connected to the chassis assembly 1 via a sliding mechanism 10, allowing the support plate 2 to move along the X direction. A turntable 3 and a lifting mechanism are provided on the support plate 2; the turntable 3 can rotate around its own vertical axis, and the lifting mechanism drives the turntable 3 to move up and down. A fixed seat plate 4 is provided on the turntable 3, and a sliding seat plate 5 is provided on the top of the fixed seat plate 4.

Figure 1 As shown by the central axis C.
[0046] By adopting the above structure, after the fan assembly is clamped, the fan assembly can indirectly perform six movements by using the various motion mechanisms on the device: first, it moves along the X direction; second, it rotates around the axis of the turntable 3; third, it moves back and forth along the length of the fixed base plate 4, that is, it adjusts the position of the fan assembly in the Y direction; fourth, it rotates around the axis A of the ring rail 7; fifth, it performs lifting and lowering movements; and sixth, it performs pitching movements to adjust the pitch angle.
[0047] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the chassis assembly 1 is a frame structure consisting of two spaced-apart inverted U-shaped support frames; each inverted U-shaped support frame includes a crossbeam 1a and columns 1b at both ends of the crossbeam 1a; the crossbeams 1a of the two inverted U-shaped support frames are connected by two spaced-apart connecting beams 1c; the sliding mechanism 10 includes a guide rail 10a mounted on the top of the connecting beam 1c and a slider 10b mounted on the bottom surface of the support plate 2; the slider 10b slides with the guide rail 10a; a top seat 11 is provided on each column 1b, the top seat 11 including a threaded rod 11a screwed into a threaded hole in the column 1b, a top plate 11b located at the inner end of the threaded rod 11a, and a handle rod 11c located at the outer end of the threaded rod 11a; the threaded rod 11a is arranged parallel to the Y direction.
[0048] By adopting the above structure, the sliding mechanism 10 formed by the guide rail 10a and the slider 10b can realize the movement of the tray 2 in the X direction, thereby indirectly adjusting the position of the fan assembly in the X direction. In addition, since the top seat 11 is provided on the column 1b, the entire device can be initially positioned with the main assembly vehicle. Specifically, by rotating the handle rod 11c to rotate the threaded rod 11a, the threaded rod 11a is adjusted to move along the Y direction, and the position of the top plate 11b is adjusted so that the top plate 11b rests against the main assembly vehicle, thus completing the initial positioning of the entire device with the main assembly vehicle and placing the entire device and the main assembly vehicle on the same axis.
[0049] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the turntable 3 is mounted on the support plate 2 via a base shell 12. The base shell 12 has an open-topped inner cavity. A retaining ring 12a is integrally formed at the outer edge of the opening of the base shell 12. A stepped through hole 2a is provided at the center of the support plate 2. The base shell 12 is inserted into the stepped through hole 2a of the support plate 2, and the lower surface of the retaining ring 12a abuts against the stepped surface of the stepped through hole 2a. The turntable 3 is rotatably mounted in the inner cavity of the base shell 12, and a plurality of universal balls 12b are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the turntable 3, and the universal balls 12b roll in contact with the inner wall of the base shell 12. By providing universal balls 12b, the friction between the outer circumferential surface of the turntable 3 and the interior of the base shell 12 is reduced, making the turntable 3 rotate more smoothly, and the relative rotation of the turntable 3 and the base shell 12 can be easily achieved with the help of external force. In this embodiment, the base shell 12 and the support plate 2 are fastened together by screws and locating pins.
[0050] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a stop mechanism 17 is provided on the tray 2 to stop the turntable 3. The stop mechanism 17 includes a mounting block 17a, a V-shaped crank arm 17b, a stop rod 17c, and a first stop screw 17d. The mounting block 17a is fixedly mounted on the tray 2. The middle part of the V-shaped crank arm 17b is rotatably mounted on the tray 2. The first stop screw 17d is horizontally screwed onto the mounting block 17a, and the inner end of the first stop screw 17d is hinged to the first end of the V-shaped crank arm 17b. A rotating handle is provided on the outer end of the first stop screw 17d. The outer end of the stop rod 17c is hinged to the second end of the V-shaped crank arm 17b. The inner end of the stop rod 17c is slidably inserted into the radial through hole of the retaining ring 12a. The end face of the inner end of the stop rod 17c can abut against the outer circumferential surface of the turntable 3. By rotating the rotary handle on the first stop screw 17d, the first stop screw 17d is rotated, and the axial position of the first stop screw 17d is adjusted, which in turn drives the V-shaped crank arm 17b to rotate around the central pivot, thereby driving the stop rod 17c to move along its axial direction, tightening or loosening the turntable 3, and realizing the stop function of the turntable 3.
[0051] Furthermore, combined Figure 2As shown, a second stop screw 18 is vertically screwed onto the mounting block 17a. A rotating handle is provided at the top of the second stop screw 18. When the second stop screw 18 is rotated downwards, its lower end abuts against the sliding mechanism 10 to achieve the stopping function of the pallet 2. Specifically, when the pallet 2 needs to be stopped, the rotating handle on the second stop screw 18 is rotated, causing the second stop screw 18 to move downwards and abut against the guide rail 10a, thus achieving the stopping function of the pallet 2. When the pallet 2 needs to move along the X direction, the rotating handle on the second stop screw 18 is rotated, causing the second stop screw 18 to move upwards and disengage from the guide rail 10a. At this time, the pallet 2 can move on the guide rail 10a.
[0052] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes an external threaded shaft 13, an internal threaded sleeve 14, and a first bevel gear 12c and a second bevel gear 12d that mesh with each other in the inner cavity of the bottom shell 12; the internal threaded sleeve 14 is disposed in the inner hole of the turntable 3, and the outer circumferential surface of the internal threaded sleeve 14 forms a rotational fit with the inner hole of the turntable 3; a limiting ring 14a is integrally formed at the lower end of the internal threaded sleeve 14, and a retaining ring 15 is provided at the top end of the internal threaded sleeve 14; the turntable 3 is located between the limiting ring 14a and the retaining ring 15, and through this structure, the axial position of the turntable 3 on the internal threaded sleeve 14 is restricted. The lower end of the external threaded shaft 13 is inserted into the through hole of the first bevel gear 12c and connected by a flat key 12h; the external thread of the upper section of the external threaded shaft 13 is engaged with the threaded hole of the internal threaded sleeve 14; a first rod seat 12f is provided on the bottom surface of the support plate 2, and a second rod seat 12g is provided on the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the bottom shell 12; a gear rod 12e that can rotate around its own axis is inserted between the first rod seat 12f and the second rod seat 12g; the inner end of the gear rod 12e is connected to the second bevel gear 12d, and a first handwheel 16 is provided on the outer end; an anti-rotation plate 14b is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the internal threaded sleeve 14, and a vertical anti-rotation rod 14c is provided on the bottom wall of the bottom shell 12. The upper end of the anti-rotation rod 14c is a smooth rod structure and extends upward into the hole of the anti-rotation plate 14b.
[0053] The lifting and lowering adjustment principle of the turntable 3 is as follows: A rotational fit is formed between the outer circumferential surface of the internal threaded sleeve 14 and the inner hole of the turntable 3, allowing the turntable 3 to rotate relative to the internal threaded sleeve 14. However, the limiting structure formed by the limiting ring 14a and the retaining ring 15 restricts axial movement between the turntable 3 and the internal threaded sleeve 14. Simultaneously, the mutual cooperation between the anti-rotation rod 14c and the anti-rotation plate 14b prevents the internal threaded sleeve 14 from rotating around its own axis. Therefore, when the first handwheel 16 is rotated, the second bevel gear 12d is driven to rotate via the gear rod 12e. The first bevel gear 12c, meshing with it, rotates accordingly, thereby driving the external threaded shaft 13 to rotate. Since the internal threaded sleeve 14 cannot rotate around its own axis, the internal threaded sleeve 14, threadedly engaged with the external threaded shaft 13, can move up and down while the external threaded shaft 13 rotates, thus driving the turntable 3 to move up and down. Furthermore, a bushing is provided between the inner hole of the turntable 3 and the internal threaded sleeve 14 to reduce mutual wear between the turntable 3 and the internal threaded sleeve 14.
[0054] Furthermore, an axial limiting boss 13a is integrally formed on the external threaded shaft 13, and the lower end face of the axial limiting boss 13a abuts against the top surface of the first bevel gear 12c; a through hole is provided at the bottom of the bottom shell 12, and a lower end cover 13d is fixedly installed at the through hole; a stepped through hole is provided at the center of the lower end cover 13d, and the lower end of the external threaded shaft 13 extends into the stepped through hole of the lower end cover 13d, and a lower limiting plate 1 is provided on the lower end face of the external threaded shaft 13. 3c; The upper end face of the lower limiting plate 13c can abut against the stepped surface of the stepped through hole of the lower end cover 13d to restrict the upward movement of the external threaded shaft 13; the outer circumferential surface of the lower end of the external threaded shaft 13 forms a clearance fit with the stepped through hole of the lower end cover 13d; an upper limiting plate 13b is provided at the top end of the external threaded shaft 13, the diameter of which is larger than the inner diameter of the retaining ring 15. The maximum rising height of the turntable 3 can be limited by using the upper limiting plate 13b. The axial position of the external threaded shaft 13 is limited by the limiting structure formed by the axial limiting boss 13a and the lower limiting plate 13c.
[0055] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 6 ,as well as Figure 7As shown, a guide plate 4a is provided on the top surface of the fixed seat plate 4, and a slide bar 5a is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sliding seat plate 5; the slide bar 5a is slidably installed in a groove formed between the guide plate 4a and the fixed seat plate 4; the driving mechanism between the fixed seat plate 4 and the sliding seat plate 5 includes a driving rod 19, a screw seat 4b, and a sleeve seat 5b; a second handwheel 19b is provided at both ends of the driving rod 19; the sleeve seat 5b is sleeved on the driving rod 19 near both ends, and the outer cylindrical surface of the driving rod 19... The drive rod 19 is rotated into the inner hole of the sleeve seat 5b; an annular groove 19a is provided on the drive rod 19, and a limiting pin 5c is provided on the sleeve seat 5b, with the inner end of the limiting pin 5c extending into the annular groove 19a; a connecting plate 5d is fixedly connected to the sleeve seat 5b, and the connecting plate 5d is fixedly installed on the sliding seat plate 5; the screw seat 4b is fixedly installed on the fixed seat plate 4; a threaded section 19c is provided in the middle of the drive rod 19, and the threaded section 19c is screwed into the threaded hole of the screw seat 4b.
[0056] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the driving principle for the sliding seat plate 5 to move back and forth along the length of the fixed seat plate 4 is as follows: by rotating the second handwheel 19b, the drive rod 19 rotates around its own axis. Since the screw seat 4b is fixed on the fixed seat plate 4, under the action of the threaded section 19c and the screw seat 4b, the entire drive rod 19 moves along its axial direction. Under the action of the limiting pin 5c, the sleeve seat 5b also moves along the axial direction of the drive rod 19, thereby driving the sliding seat plate 5 to move.
[0057] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, each support base 6 includes two support plates fixedly mounted on the sliding base plate 5, with a support rod 6a positioned between the two support plates. An arc-shaped hole 7a is provided on the ring rail 7 at the position corresponding to each support base 6. The support rod 6a is inserted into the arc-shaped hole 7a, and the outer cylindrical surface of the support rod 6a slides in contact with the upper and lower arc-shaped surfaces of the arc-shaped hole 7a. A stop pin 6b is screwed onto the support plate of the support base 6 to tighten the ring rail 7, thus achieving the stop function of the ring rail 7. During the fan assembly process, only a small rotation around the axis A of the ring rail 7 is required. Therefore, by utilizing the sliding contact between the arc-shaped hole 7a and the support rod 6a, a small rotation of the ring rail 7 around its axis A can be achieved. The stop pin 6b is mainly used to prevent the ring rail 7 from rotating freely and affecting the assembly during fan assembly installation.
[0058] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the rotating shaft 8 is mounted at the top of the ring rail 7 via a rotating shaft seat 20 and a rotating shaft cover 21; a slot 20a is provided on the rotating shaft seat 20; the top of the ring rail 7 is inserted into the slot 20a and fixed with bolts; the rotating shaft cover 21 is fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating shaft seat 20 with screws; the rotating shaft 8 is rotatably mounted in the rotating shaft mounting hole formed by the rotating shaft cover 21 and the rotating shaft seat 20; a friction block 22 is provided on the top of the rotating shaft cover 21; a brake block 23 is provided in the inner hole of the rotating shaft 8; The shaft cover 21 is provided with an inverted conical hole 21a; a stop rod 25 is provided on the friction block 22, and the lower end of the stop rod 25 extends downward and passes through the conical hole 21a and the tube wall of the rotating shaft 8 in sequence before being threadedly connected to the brake block 23; a stop handle 25a is inserted laterally at the top of the stop rod 25 for rotating the stop rod 25; a stepped surface 25b is provided on the stop rod 25 for abutting against the top surface of the friction block 22; the diameter of the lowest end of the conical hole 21a is larger than the outer diameter of the stop rod 25 to form a swing space for the stop rod 25.
[0059] The rotating shaft 8 is rotatably mounted within the rotating shaft mounting hole formed by the rotating shaft cover 21 and the rotating shaft seat 20, enabling the pitch swing of the clamping assembly 9, and thus the pitch movement of the fan assembly. During the fan assembly assembly process, only a small pitch movement is required. Therefore, the swing space formed by the tapered hole 21a can limit the swing amplitude of the stop rod 25, thereby limiting the rotation amplitude of the rotating shaft 8 around its own axis. When the required pitch angle is reached, rotating the stop rod 25 presses against the friction block 22, locking the shaft 8 and preventing it from rotating.
[0060] Combination Figures 10 to 13 ,as well as Figure 15 As shown, the clamping assembly 9 includes a mounting plate 26 and support arms 27 fixedly disposed at both ends of the mounting plate 26; the mounting plate 26 and the two support arms 27 together form a U-shaped support structure; the inner end of the rotating shaft 8 is inserted into the support arm 27 and fixed by a pin 8a; a support claw 28 is provided on the end of the support arm 27 away from the mounting plate 26 for connecting with the mounting edge of the fan stator casing; a positioning seat 29 is fixedly installed on the right end face of the mounting plate 26, and a stepped limiting boss is provided on the right end face of the positioning seat 29, which is used to be inserted into the inner hole of the journal of the fan stator, and the stepped surface of the limiting boss is used to abut against the end face of the journal of the fan stator; a plurality of stepped through holes are evenly distributed in a ring on the positioning seat 29, and a sleeve nut 30 is provided in the stepped through holes for connecting with the stud on the fan stator; a T-shaped handle 30a is connected to the sleeve nut 30.
[0061] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 9 also includes a support column assembly for supporting the fan rotor. This support column assembly includes a movable sleeve 31 and a hollow outer column 32 slidably inserted into the inner hole of the movable sleeve 31. The movable sleeve 31 is mounted on the center holes of both the mounting plate 26 and the positioning seat 29, and the outer cylindrical surface of the movable sleeve 31 slides in conjunction with the center holes of both. An axial limiting structure is provided between the movable sleeve 31 and the mounting plate 26 to limit the axial position of the movable sleeve 31. This axial limiting structure includes an axial limiting groove 31a on the outer cylindrical surface of the movable sleeve 31 and multiple limiting blocks 34 on the left end face of the mounting plate 26. Each limiting block 34 has a limiting tooth 34a, which extends into the axial limiting groove 31a, and the width of the limiting tooth 34a is less than the width of the axial limiting groove 31a. The right end of the movable sleeve 31 is provided with an external thread section for connecting with the internal thread of the fan rotor's journal. Multiple first rotating handles 31b are evenly distributed around the outer circumference of the left end of the movable sleeve 31. Rotating the first rotating handles 31b drives the movable sleeve 31 to rotate, so that the external thread section of the right end of the movable sleeve 31 is connected to the internal thread of the journal of the fan rotor. A columnar seat 35 is welded to the right end of the hollow outer column 32, and an adapter seat 36 is welded to the left end. An annular spline 37 is installed on the right end of the columnar seat 35 for cooperating with the fan nut in the inner hole of the fan rotor. The columnar seat 35 is... The fan rotor has a hollow tubular structure with multiple strip grooves 35a evenly distributed on its wall. A movable support plate 39 is installed within each strip groove 35a, and the right end of the movable support plate 39 is hinged to the columnar base 35 via a pin 39a. A support plate drive structure is installed in the central through hole formed by the hollow outer column 32, the columnar base 35, and the adapter 36. This structure drives the movable support plate 39 to rotate around the pin 39a, so that the left end of the movable support plate 39 is supported in the inner hole of the fan rotor. A first handle seat 38 is fixed to the left end of the adapter 36, and multiple second rotating handles 38a are provided on the first handle seat 38. Rotating the second rotating handles 38a drives the hollow outer column 32 to rotate around its own axis, which in turn drives the annular spline 37 to rotate, thus pre-tightening the fan nut.
[0062] The support plate driving structure includes a sliding body 40, an inner column 41, an external threaded rod 42, and multiple connecting rods 43. Each slot 35a contains a corresponding connecting rod 43. The sliding body 40 is slidably installed in the inner hole of the columnar seat 35. The external threaded rod 42 is located in the inner hole of the adapter seat 36. The inner column 41 is located in the inner hole of the hollow outer column 32, with its left end fixedly connected to the external threaded rod 42 and its right end fixedly connected to the sliding body 40. The left end of the connecting rod 43 is hinged to the sliding body 40, and its right end is hinged to the left end of the movable support plate 39. A spring plate 66 is provided on the sliding body 40 to generate a radial force on the connecting rod 43, pushing it out of the slot 35a. This prevents the connecting rod 43 from failing to extend when retracted to its limit position.
[0063] The left end of the external threaded rod 42 extends from the inside of the adapter 36 and is screwed with a drive nut 44; the first handle seat 38 is sleeved on the outside of the drive nut 44, and a limiting protrusion ring 44a is integrally formed on the outer circumference of the right end of the drive nut 44. The first handle seat 38 and the left end face of the adapter 36 together form an annular mounting groove 44b; the limiting protrusion ring 44a at the right end of the drive nut 44 is rotatably mounted in the annular mounting groove 44b; a second handle seat 45 is fixedly connected to the drive nut 44, and multiple third rotating handles 45b are provided on the second handle seat 45.
[0064] A limiting shaft 46 is inserted into the inner hole at the right end of the columnar base 35, and a stepped ring 46a is integrally formed on the outer circumferential surface of the limiting shaft 46. The annular spline 37 is sleeved on the limiting shaft 46 and is pressed against the left end face of the columnar base 35 by the stepped ring 46a. The limiting shaft 46 and the columnar base 35 are fastened together by a plurality of slotted conical screws 47. A guide sleeve 48 is sleeved on the outer cylindrical surface of the right section of the limiting shaft 46, and a right end cap 49 is provided on the right end face of the limiting shaft 46 and locked by screws. The right end cap 49 pushes the guide sleeve 48 to press against the stepped ring 46a.

[0066] Combination Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a plurality of limiting rods 50 are provided on the first handle seat 38, and a limiting sleeve 51 is movably sleeved on each limiting rod 50; a spring is sleeved on the limiting rod 50, and one end of the spring is connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the limiting sleeve 51, and the other end is connected to the limiting head at the right end of the limiting rod 50; the spring is in a stretched and energy-storing state, forming a force in the positive X direction to push the limiting sleeve 51 against the left end face of the movable sleeve 31. By setting the limiting sleeve 51, during the disassembly of the fan assembly, the limiting sleeve 51 moves in the negative X direction, simultaneously pushing the first handle seat 38 and the various components connected thereto to move synchronously.
[0067] The working principle of the device provided by this invention includes the following process:
[0068] (1) Initial positioning: First, the entire device is initially positioned with the main assembly vehicle. By adjusting the top seat 11 on the chassis component 1, the entire device can be initially positioned with the main assembly vehicle, so that the entire device and the main assembly vehicle are on the same axis.
[0069] (2) Pre-adjustment: Manually push the disassembly assembly to move the pallet 2 and all the components above it along the positive X direction, and determine whether the support column assembly can be aligned with the spline bushing on the main unit. If there is a deviation, the height can be adjusted by using the lifting mechanism consisting of the external threaded shaft 13, the internal threaded sleeve 14, and the first bevel gear 12c and the second bevel gear 12d meshing with each other in the inner cavity of the bottom shell 12, and the rotation adjustment can be achieved by using the rotation of the turntable 3. The position adjustment in the Y direction can be achieved by using the drive mechanism between the fixed seat plate 4 and the sliding seat plate 5, and the pitch angle adjustment can be achieved by using the rotating shaft 8 until the guide sleeve 48 at the front end of the support column assembly can be inserted into the spline bushing on the main unit. The support column assembly and the clamping assembly 9 can be kept horizontal by manually applying force. The rotating stop rod 25 is rotated to press the friction block 22 and lock the rotating shaft 8.
[0070] (3) Install parts: The assembled fan assembly is horizontally hoisted to the position of the clamping assembly 9 for installation. Specifically, the front end face of the fan stator is engaged with the positioning seat 29 on the clamping assembly 9, the support claw 28 on the support arm 27 is connected to the mounting edge of the fan stator casing, the inner journal thread of the fan rotor is engaged with the outer thread section of the right end of the movable sleeve 31, and the external thread rod 42 is moved in the positive direction of the X direction by rotating the drive nut 44, so that the sliding body 40 moves while the connecting rod 43 drives the movable support plate 39 to extend and be supported in the inner hole of the fan rotor. The sleeve nut 30 is rotated and connected to the stud on the fan stator to complete the installation of the fan assembly on the clamping assembly 9.
[0071] (4) Assembly of the fan assembly and the host: Manually push the disassembled assembly to indirectly drive the fan assembly. If there is a positional difference between the fan assembly and the host, fine adjustments can be made according to the operation steps in the pre-adjustment process. In addition, if the mounting holes of the fan assembly and the mounting holes on the host are not aligned, the fan assembly can be rotated slightly around its own axis by rotating the fine-tuning ring rail 7 around its axis A, so that the mounting holes of the fan assembly and the mounting holes on the host are aligned, and the final assembly is completed.
[0072] (5) Disassembly: The disassembly component is mainly to disassemble the fan assembly from the host. During disassembly, the support rod 64 is connected to the host frame through the clamp 65. The rotating drive screw 62 drives the movable block 61 to move along the negative X direction, thereby driving the clamping component 9 to move along the negative X direction, so that the fan assembly gradually detaches from the host, and finally the fan assembly is horizontally disassembled on the host.
