Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aviation technology, and in particular relates to a twist-off type high-lock nut removal device. Background Art

[0002] Twist-off high-locking nuts are widely used in the assembly of aircraft wings and reinforcement frames. The self-locking part and the twist-off part of the nut are fastened to the high-locking bolt. The operator only needs to twist off the twist-off part of the high-locking nut to complete the predetermined self-locking connection, avoiding the need to apply force to the installed nut and simplifying the operation. However, since the self-locking part of the twist-off high-locking nut is a smooth cylinder after installation, it cannot be removed with a conventional wrench during the removal process because there is no effective point of force on the nut with an ordinary wrench. It can only be removed violently by using pliers or drilling holes in the nut. When using pliers, the nut cannot be clamped due to insufficient grip strength, which can easily cause slippage and make it impossible to remove; when drilling holes in the nut with a pneumatic drill or shoveling the nut with a flat shovel, the drill bit or flat shovel can easily slip off the nut and bump against the product, causing damage to the product. Summary of the invention

[0007] The shell is a columnar structure with a boss on the upper part, a cavity is arranged inside the shell, a bearing hole is arranged on the boss on the upper part of the shell, the bearing is installed in the bearing hole, a holding ring is located above the shell, the lower end of the holding ring is connected to the inner ring of the bearing, and a support arm is fixed on the outer wall of the shell for driving the shell to rotate;

[0008] A boss structure is provided on the inner wall of the cavity to form a plurality of slideways facing the center of the shell; a clip is installed in each slideway, and the clip is an arc-shaped structure for matching with the arc-shaped surface of the outer surface of the high locking bolt;

[0009] A threaded hole is provided on the side wall of the housing, a threaded pin is installed in the threaded hole, an end of the threaded pin is inserted into the slideway and contacts the clip; a spring is provided between the clip and the inner side wall of the housing, and the spring is sleeved on the outside of the threaded pin;

[0010] The lower part of the shell is an open structure, and the high locking nut to be removed can be inserted into the center of the shell through the lower end of the shell.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the threaded pin is processed into an external hexagonal structure, and a pin hole is processed at its end; according to the actual construction environment, a tool is inserted into the pin hole to rotate the threaded pin, or a ratchet wrench is used to rotate the threaded pin in combination with the external hexagonal structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper end and the lower end of the screwdriver bit are both external hexagonal structures.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer surface of the clip is provided with a sawtooth groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the clip can move in the slideway in a direction approaching or moving away from the center of the housing.

[0015] Furthermore, the spring in a free state causes the clip to be pulled to a position close to the inner wall of the housing.

[0016] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the side wall of the clip, and the end of the threaded pin is pressed in the groove.

[0017] Furthermore, an annular handle is provided on the upper portion of the holding ring.

[0018] Furthermore, the twist-off high-locking nut to be disassembled is inserted into the shell through the lower part of the shell, and is located in the cavity formed between the clips, and at the same time, the lower end of the screwdriver bit is inserted into the hexagonal groove inside the high-locking bolt; then the hexagonal wrench is used to rotate the threaded pin clockwise to push the clip, and the clip moves toward the outer cylindrical surface of the twist-off high-locking nut in the slideway, so that the aperture formed between the clips becomes smaller, and the twist-off high-locking nut is clamped. The left hand holds the annular handle on the upper part of the holding ring, and the right hand holds the support arm outside the shell and rotates the support arm counterclockwise, and the twist-off high-locking nut is driven to rotate by the clip until the twist-off high-locking nut is removed, and then the threaded pin is rotated counterclockwise to enlarge the aperture formed by the clip under the traction of the spring, and the removed twist-off high-locking nut is removed.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical features:
