Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a planar scroll spring tightening device and method. Background Art

[0002] Planar spiral springs (referred to as coil springs) have the advantages of small axial dimensions and large torque storage, and are increasingly used in aerospace systems. Generally, after the coil spring parameters are designed, when the coil spring torque is large, it is impossible to directly wind the coil spring by manpower. Therefore, the inner diameter of the spring box must be determined based on the outer diameter of the coil spring in its free state. The inner diameter of the spring box must be larger than the outer diameter of the coil spring in its free state, so that the coil spring can be loaded into the spring box with minimal effort and then wound to the working position. In special cases, when the size of the spring box cannot be increased due to space limitations, the finished coil spring must be rolled into a small outer diameter on a spring winding machine before being installed into the spring box. It is then bound with wire. During installation, the entire spring is loaded into the spring box, and the wire is cut to complete the assembly.

[0003] However, when used in the aerospace field, the size of the spring box cannot be increased due to extreme space limitations. If the spring box is wound on a spring coiling machine and then bound with wire, there are the following disadvantages: 1. Due to the large amount of force stored in the spring, the wire can easily scratch the spring, resulting in excess material. 2. Coiled springs generally require special surface treatment, such as anti-cold welding. If they are wound on a spring coiling machine, there is a risk of contamination of the surface of the parts and uncontrollable risks. 3. During assembly, the spring needs to be loaded into the spring box multiple times, not a one-time operation, and there is a step of removal during the process. If a spring coiling machine is used to wind the spring, the assembly cycle will be extended.

[0004] In summary, the existing coil springs prolong the production cycle when they are taken out; when they are put into the spring box, the coil springs are easily scratched, resulting in excess material and making it difficult to perform surface treatment on the coil springs. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a planar scroll spring tightening device is used to install a scroll spring 12 into a spring box 11; it includes a spring box seat 1, a sliding push rod 8, a limiting assembly 10 arranged in the spring box seat 1, a scroll spring shaft 13 arranged in the spring box 11, a scroll spring wrench 5, a tightening assembly 6, a fixing assembly 7, and a scroll spring shaft connecting assembly 9; in this embodiment, the spring box seat 1 is composed of a base plate 101, a connecting ring 102 and a plurality of support columns 103; the scroll spring shaft connecting assembly 9 is composed of a connecting piece 902 and a protrusion 901; for easy installation, the spring box seat 1, the spring box 11 and the scroll spring shaft 13 are coaxially arranged.

[0050] The lower end of the support column 103 is connected to the base plate 101, and the upper end is connected to the connecting ring 102. The lower end of the spacer column 2 is connected to the connecting ring 102; the lower end of the spring box 11 is connected to the base plate 101. The base plate 101 is used to connect to an external fixed platform to stabilize the entire device. The spring box 11 is placed within the spring box seat 1. The lower end of the spring box 11 is connected to the base plate 101, and the upper end of the spring box 11 is used to mount the coil spring 12. The side wall of the spring box 11 is provided with a spring box notch 1101 that matches the coil spring external interface 1201. The upper end of the coil spring shaft 13 extends out of the upper end of the spring box 11, and an arc-shaped coil spring shaft groove 1301 is axially provided on the upper end of the coil spring shaft 13 to match the inner interface 1202 of the coil spring; the lower end of the coil spring shaft 13 passes through the inner bottom of the spring box 11 and is connected to the connecting piece 902, and the protrusion 901 is fixed between the spring box 11 and the spring box seat 1 through the limit assembly 10.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the tightening assembly 6 is composed of a sliding pin stop 601, a sliding pin column 602, a sliding pin upper cover plate 603 and a sliding pin lower cover plate 604; for the convenience of production, the sliding pin stop 601, the sliding pin column 602 and the sliding pin upper cover plate 603 can be made as one piece; the upper end of the sliding pin stop 601 is screwed to the sliding pin upper cover plate 603, and the lower end is screwed to the sliding pin lower cover plate 604; the sliding pin stop 601 forms a stop fit with the coil spring wrench 5 to ensure that the sliding pin stop 601 only moves along the coil spring wrench 5 and cannot tilt. The upper end of the sliding pin 602 is connected to the lower surface of the sliding pin lower cover plate 604, and the sliding pin 602 is located below the sliding pin lower cover plate 604. The sliding pin upper cover plate 603 and the sliding pin lower cover plate 604 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the spanner straight slot 501. They are used to limit the tilt of the sliding pin stop 601, allowing it to translate along the spanner straight slot 501 and keep the sliding pin 602 in a downward position, preventing it from disengaging from the coil spring 12 or causing it to become stuck during rotation. The sliding pin 602 is designed to mate with the coil spring external interface 1201; the sliding pin stop 601 slides along the coil spring spanner 5, thereby driving the sliding pin 602 to tighten the coil spring 12.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the coil spring wrench 5 is an umbrella-shaped structure, which consists of a handle 506 and three flat plates 505; the three flat plates 505 are connected in sequence to form a closed triangular wrench; a wrench straight slot hole 501 is provided on one flat plate 505, and the sliding pin stop 601 and the wrench straight slot hole 501 form a sliding pair that can slide along the wrench straight slot hole 501; a wrench center hole 502 is provided in the middle of the other flat plate 505, and a wrench rotating shaft 4 for connecting to the fixing component 7 is provided in the wrench center hole 502; the center axis of the wrench straight slot hole 501 and the center axis of the flat plate 505 where the wrench center hole 502 is located form an angle θ of 35°, so that when the coil spring 12 stores torque, the sliding pin stop 601 can move along the wrench straight slot hole 501.

[0053] One end of the handle 506 is connected to the side of any of the three flat plates 505, propelling the closed triangular wrench to rotate along the wrench shaft 4, forming a sliding friction pair. This simultaneously allows the sliding pin 602 to translate along the wrench slot 501. As the coil spring 12 is tightened, the upper sliding pin cover 603, the sliding pin stop 601, and the lower sliding pin cover 604 slide along the wrench slot 501, adapting to the changing outer diameter of the coil spring 12.

[0054] Connecting member 902 is a cylindrical structure with a blind stopper hole that fits within the lower end of coil spring shaft 13. The lower end of coil spring shaft 13 passes through the inner bottom of spring box 11 and is connected to connecting member 902 via the blind stopper hole. The stopper assembly 10 includes two stopper posts disposed on the inner bottom of spring box seat 1. A protrusion 901 has one end connected to the outer wall of connecting member 902 and the other end disposed between the two stopper posts, limiting the rotation of coil spring shaft 13. In this embodiment, the two stopper posts are made of a flexible copper alloy H62.

[0055] In this embodiment, the fixing assembly 7 consists of two spacers 2, a horizontal plate 3, and a wrench shaft 4. The lower ends of the two spacers 2 are connected to the upper end of the spring box seat 1 via long screws, and the upper ends of the two spacers 2 are connected to the ends of the horizontal plate 3 via screws. The wrench shaft 4 is a T-shaped structure, with its upper end connected to the horizontal plate 3 and a limit step at its lower end. The lower end passes through the wrench center hole 502 and is connected to a nut to prevent the coil spring wrench 5 from falling. The coil spring wrench 5 and the wrench shaft 4 are mated via a cylindrical stop. The limit step is used to limit the axial movement of the closed triangular wrench.

[0056] Preferably, a wrench side hole 504 is provided at the other end of the handle 506, and wrench side holes 504 are provided at both ends of the flat plate 505 connected to the handle 506. The wrench side holes 504 are used to install a push rod to extend the operator's force arm, forming a lever, facilitating rotation, and also making the operator more labor-saving. A threaded hole 503 is provided on the flat plate 505 corresponding to the wrench straight slot hole 501, at the end of the flat plate 505 away from the handle 506, along the axis of the wrench straight slot hole 501. The sliding push rod 8 is used to pass through the threaded hole 503 and abut against the sliding pin stop 601. Rotating the sliding push rod 8 can assist the sliding pin stop 601 in translation, preventing the sliding pin stop 601 from being unable to translate smoothly in the event of an accident.

[0057] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the present invention is based on the planar scroll spring tightening method of the above-mentioned planar scroll spring tightening device, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0058] 1] Assemble the spring box seat 1, spring box 11, coil spring shaft connecting assembly 9 and coil spring shaft 13;

[0059] 1.1. Connect the two limit posts to the bottom plate 101 of the spring box seat 1 with screws;

[0060] 1.2. Pass the lower end of the coil spring shaft 13 through the spring box 11 and connect it to the connector 902. Then connect the spring box 11 to the bottom plate 101 of the spring box seat 1, and make sure the protrusion 901 is located between the two limit posts.

[0061] 2] Install the coil spring 12 on the upper end of the spring box 11, and engage the coil spring inner interface 1202 with the upper end of the coil spring shaft 13 through the arc-shaped coil spring shaft notch 1301. Before insertion, the coil spring outer interface 1201 does not overlap with the spring box notch 1101 in either the radial or circumferential directions, thus being in a free state. In other embodiments, if the coil spring 12 is designed to tighten by rotating clockwise, the coil spring 12 can be connected to the coil spring 12 by simply turning it upside down when installing.

[0062] 3] Install the fixing assembly 7, the coil spring wrench 5 and the tightening assembly 6;

[0063] 3.1. Connect the wrench shaft 4 to the horizontal plate 3, then insert the coil spring wrench 5 through the wrench center hole 502 to fit the wrench shaft 4 cylindrically and secure it with a nut to form a rotating pair;

[0064] 3.2. Fix the entire horizontal plate 3 to the upper end of the spring box seat 1 through the pad column 2;

[0065] 3.3. Insert the sliding pin stop 601 through the spanner straight slot hole 501. Use screws to connect the sliding pin upper cover plate 603, the sliding pin lower cover plate 604, and the sliding pin column 602 to the sliding pin stop 601 to form a moving pair. Then screw the sliding push rod 8 into the threaded hole 503.

[0066] 3.4. Adjust the position of the tightening assembly 6 so that the sliding pin 602 contacts the outer interface 1201 of the coil spring;

[0067] 4] Insert the push rod into the side hole 504 of the wrench, rotate the coil spring wrench 5, and slide the tightening assembly 6 along the coil spring wrench 5 to tighten the coil spring 12;

[0068] As the coil spring 12 rotates, due to the force of the coil spring 12, the sliding pin 602 can drive the coil spring outer interface 1201 to move radially inward until it is directly above the spring box notch 1101, and then stops rotating. During the rotation process, if the sliding pin 602 is not able to slide smoothly due to large resistance, the sliding push rod 8 can be used to assist in adjusting the real-time position of the sliding pin 602.

[0069] 5] After the coil spring 12 is tightened, it is loaded into the spring box 11 by external force, and the outer interface 1201 of the coil spring is engaged with the spring box notch 1101, completing the insertion of the coil spring 12 into the box. At this point, the outer interface 1201 of the coil spring is engaged with the spring box notch 1101, and the inner interface 1202 of the coil spring is completely seated at the bottom of the coil spring shaft notch 1301; at this point, the spring box 11, coil spring 12, and coil spring shaft 13 form a single unit.

[0070] 6】Remove the flat scroll spring tightening device.

[0071] Remove the flat scroll spring take-up device in sequence and use it for the next assembly.

[0072] In this embodiment, the coil spring 12 rotates counterclockwise as the winding direction, and the coil spring wrench 5 also rotates counterclockwise around the wrench shaft 4 to complete the winding. Figure 8 As shown, if the designed parameters of the coil spring 12 are for clockwise winding, the clockwise winding of the coil spring 12 can be completed by installing the coil spring 12 in reverse.

[0073] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
