DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0039] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0040] Referring to Figures 1-5 The aviation wheel general transportation tool comprises a pull rod 1, a self-locking nut 2 and a baffle assembly 3. Both ends of the pull rod 1 are provided with external threads, and the baffle assembly 3 is provided with two groups. The two groups of baffle assemblies 3 are respectively sleeved on the two ends of the pull rod 1 through the through holes in the centers of the baffle assemblies 3, and one self-locking nut 2 is mounted on the outer side of each of the two groups of baffle assemblies 3. The internal threads of the self-locking nuts 2 are connected with the external threads of the pull rod 1. By screwing the self-locking nuts 2 at both ends, the baffle assemblies 3 mounted on the two ends of the pull rod 1 can move towards each other.
[0041] Referring to Figures 5-15 The baffle assembly 3 comprises a framework 31 and a baffle 32. The framework 31 is used for supporting and mounting the baffle 32 and mounting the baffle assembly 3 on the pull rod 1. The central part of the framework 31 is a circular ring 311, the inner hole of the circular ring 311 is sleeved on the pull rod 1, and the outer diameter of the circular ring 311 is uniformly distributed with three tooth-shaped bones 312. Specifically, the tooth-shaped bone 312 is a columnar rod with a square cross section, one end of which is fixed on the outer diameter wall of the circular ring 311 and is arranged along the radial direction of the circular ring 311. The three tooth-shaped bones 312 are uniformly distributed in the same circle on the outer diameter wall of the circular ring 311 at intervals of 120°. Straight tooth-shaped structures are arranged on both sides of the tooth-shaped bone 312 along the axis direction of the circular ring 311, and the tooth shapes on both sides of the tooth-shaped bone 312 are symmetrically arranged relative to the tooth-shaped bone 312.
[0042] The number of the baffles 32 is the same as that of the tooth-shaped bones 312, and one baffle 32 is mounted on each tooth-shaped bone 312. The baffle 32 is a fan-shaped ring, and a protrusion 321 is fixed on the outer side wall of the baffle 32. The protrusion 321 is located at the center position of the outer side wall of the baffle 32. A through square hole 322 is arranged on the protrusion 321 along the radial direction of the baffle 32, and is used for penetrating the tooth-shaped bone 312. Specifically, referring to Figures 13-15The two side inner walls of the square hole 322 close to the baffle 32 are provided with a tooth-shaped structure 323 matched with the tooth-shaped structure of the tooth-shaped bone 312. The two side inner walls of the square hole 322 away from the baffle 32 are light holes. The tooth-shaped bone 312 is inserted into the square hole 322 of the baffle 32, and the tooth-shaped bone 312 and the square hole 322 have two matching modes: sliding fit at the two sides of the square hole 322 with light holes; when the framework 31 is moved in the axial direction of the pull rod 1, the tooth-shaped bone 312 is close to the baffle 32, at this time, the tooth-shaped structure on both sides of the tooth-shaped bone 312 is connected with the tooth-shaped structure 323 in the square hole 322, and the baffle 32 is limited and fixed in the axial position of the tooth-shaped bone 312.
[0043] The baffle 32 and the tooth-shaped bone 312 are inserted and fitted in the sliding fit mode, and after being inserted and fitted in place, the baffle 32 and the tooth-shaped bone 312 are limited and fixed by moving the framework 31 in the axial direction. Whether the insertion is in place is determined by whether the baffle 32 can block the oil ring 5 at both ends of the hub 4 shaft hole. Based on the two matching modes of the baffle 32 and the tooth-shaped bone 312, the positions of the three baffles 32 on the tooth-shaped bone 312 can be adjusted. According to the diameter size of the aircraft wheel shaft, that is, the diameter size of the hub 4 shaft hole, the radial position of the baffle 32 installed on the framework 31 is determined. When the diameter of the hub 4 shaft hole is large, the fixed position of the baffle 32 is adjusted outward in the radial direction of the framework 31; when the diameter of the hub 4 shaft hole is small, the fixed position of the baffle 32 is adjusted inward in the radial direction of the framework 31. The three baffles 32 are arranged in a whole circular ring at the minimum radial installation position on the framework 31. When the position of the baffle 32 is adjusted, the tooth-shaped structure of the baffle 32 and the tooth-shaped bone 312 is separated, the baffle 32 is moved at the sliding fit position, and then it is fixed after being moved in place.
[0044] According to the specification of the certain type of aircraft wheel, the framework 31, the baffle 32, the self-locking nut 2 and the pull rod 1 are made of engineering plastic in this embodiment, and are made by SFG-2 machine. The specifications and sizes of the parts are as follows: the length of the pull rod 1 is 250 mm, the diameter is 10 mm, and M10 threads with a length of 100 mm are machined at both ends of the pull rod 1. The specification of the self-locking nut 2 is M10, and the thickness is 15 mm. A 5 mm thick reinforcing skirt 21 is arranged at the bottom of the self-locking nut 2, i.e. the contact end of the baffle assembly 3, and a general spanner interface 22 is arranged at the head of the self-locking nut 2, with a specification of M10, for easy screwing operation. The diameter of the middle hole of the ring 311 of the framework 31 is 11 mm, the outer diameter of the ring 311 is 30 mm, and the length of the three tooth-shaped bones 312 uniformly distributed on the outer diameter wall of the ring 311 is 24 mm. The baffle 32 is a 120° sector thin-walled ring structure, with a thickness of 2 mm. The thickness of the internal tooth-shaped structure 323 of the square hole 322 is 2 mm, and the thickness of the light hole part in the square hole 322 is 2 mm. In the size structure of this embodiment, the overall weight of the tool is less than 0.3 kg by using engineering plastic, and the tool is very light to use. At the same time, the plastic material has good stability in storage environment and good corrosion resistance, and will not corrode itself or the contacted parts, so that the tool does not need special maintenance and has high practicability.
[0045] Referring to Figure 16 When the tool is used, the pull rod 1 penetrates the shaft hole of the hub 4 of the aircraft wheel, and penetrates the oil baffle 5, the bearing 6 located at both ends of the shaft hole of the hub 4, and the adjusting bushing 7 located in the shaft hole of the hub 4. The two sets of baffle assemblies 3 are sleeved on the pull rod 1 at both ends through the center holes of the respective rings 311, and are located at the inner side and the outer side of the shaft hole of the hub 4, respectively. The two self-locking nuts 2 are sleeved on the pull rod 1 at both ends, and are located at the outer side of the two sets of baffle assemblies 3, respectively. By screwing the two self-locking nuts 2, the two sets of baffle assemblies 3 are moved towards each other along the pull rod shaft 1, and the positions of the oil baffle 5, the bearing 6 and the adjusting bushing 7 are fixed, so as to avoid the loss, bumping and bearing grease pollution of the oil baffle 5, the bearing 6 and the adjusting bushing 7 pre-installed in the shaft hole of the hub 4 during transportation. The transportation tool of the present application belongs to a general tool, and the positions of the baffles 32 and the self-locking nuts 2 can be adjusted according to the width and the wheel shaft diameter of different aircraft wheels, so as to meet the use requirements of different aircraft wheels.
