Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of helicopter assembly technology, specifically relating to a bonding device and bonding method for a helicopter torsion arm square arm assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The torsion arm square arm assembly is a key component in the helicopter's automatic swashplate, and its main function is to drive the rotating ring to rotate synchronously with the main shaft.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the torque arm square arm assembly consists of a torque arm square arm and a tungsten carbide shoulder bushing, forming a bore-shaft mating pair. Because the service life of the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing is shorter than that of the torque arm square arm, to facilitate replacement of the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing upon its expiration date, the design uses J-200-1A adhesive to bond the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing to the inner bore of the square arm. After bonding, it is necessary to ensure… Figure 1 The relevant linear dimensions and geometric tolerances are required. Currently, the entire bonding process for the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing is done manually. To ensure dimensional requirements, repeated measurements and adjustments are necessary, resulting in high labor intensity for operators. Furthermore, the process documentation is unclear, the operating methods are not detailed, and the control requirements are ambiguous. Additionally, the bonding process design does not consider the actual situation where adhesive overflows from the bonding surface, and the bonding fixtures used do not take effective measures to prevent adhesive flow. During pre-curing, the adhesive overflows along the bonding surface, and the amount of overflow varies depending on factors such as gel time and operating techniques, resulting in significant dispersion in the actual bonding strength of the adhesive layer. In summary, this leads to large fluctuations in performance indicators between different batches of products, low product quality stability and consistency, poor bonding performance in some products, and actual bonding force failing to meet usage requirements. Ultimately, this results in the detachment of the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing. When the adhesive layer completely detaches and peels off, the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing directly contacts the square arm hole of the torque arm, and repeated wear causes damage, potentially affecting helicopter flight safety.

[0055] Step 22: as shown in Figure 5 , bushing C and bushing D are a group, and the actual hole diameter of the two bushings is not more than 0.005 mm different from each other;

[0056] Step 23: after determining the actual A, B, C and D bushings, record the measured value of the inner diameter of the bushing, the mutual difference value of the inner diameter of the bushing and the maximum inner diameter value in Table 1, and mark the grouped bushings with bagged method.

[0057] Table 1: tungsten carbide shoulder bushing and adhesive core rod matching record table

[0058]

[0059] Step 24: according to the maximum value of the inner diameter of bushing A and bushing B, select the adhesive core rod, and the diameter of the adhesive core rod is not more than 0.01 mm different from the maximum value of the inner diameter of A and B bushing. Select the core rod matched with bushing C and bushing D by the same method, and record the measured value of the outer diameter of the core rod and the maximum gap value between the core rod and the inner hole of the shoulder bushing in Table 1.

[0060] Step 25: select the core rod and mark AB and CD with a marker pen according to the matched tungsten carbide shoulder bushing.

[0062] Step 3: Clean the inner surface of the square arm bushing mounting hole of the torsion arm and the outer circular surface of the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing;

[0063] Specifically, step 3 includes:

[0064] Step 31: Clean the surface of the bonding device with 180# gasoline. After cleaning, use white non-woven fabric to wipe the joint between the device and the workpiece until the white non-woven fabric is free of any color change.

The surface of the mixed glue should be free of obvious bubbles, and the mixing end time is recorded.

[0075] It should be noted that the glue mixing and stirring time should be more than 5 minutes. Since the J-200-1A glue has a relatively fast gelling speed at high temperature, in order to ensure sufficient construction time, the bonding environment temperature is controlled at 15-25℃, and the subsequent glue coating and tungsten carbide shoulder bush installation work should be completed within 30 minutes.

[0076] Step 5: Glue coating on the inner surface of the square arm bush mounting hole of the torsion arm square arm and the outer circular surface of the tungsten carbide shoulder bush

[0077] Use the brush to dip the prepared glue solution and evenly coat it on the inner surface of the square arm bush mounting hole of the torsion arm square arm and the outer circular surface of the tungsten carbide shoulder bush. After the coating is completed, the glue layer should be free of air bubbles.

[0078] Step 6: Install the tungsten carbide shoulder bush on the torsion arm square arm

[0079] Specifically, step 6 includes:

[0080] Step 61: Place the tungsten carbide shoulder bush opposite the square arm mounting hole of the torsion arm square arm, initially into the square arm hole, and then rotate in the same direction to evenly distribute the glue solution in the gap between the square arm and the shoulder bush and to remove air, until the end face of the shoulder bush is in contact with the surface of the square arm. After the shoulder bush is installed, check that there is uniform glue overflow on the shoulder end of the bush and the exposed square arm bottom hole area, and that the surface of the overflowed glue is free of obvious air bubbles.

[0081] Step 62: As shown in the figure, install first sealing gaskets 7 at four places where the shoulder of the bush and the square arm are in contact with the outer circle, and the sealing gaskets should be flat after installation and have no gap with the contact surface of the square arm; after the gasket installation is completed, remove the excess glue layer outside the gasket.

Figure 9 Once the state is reached, the installation of one side of the torque arm square boom assembly 10 is complete. Following the same steps, the installation of the other side of the torque arm square boom assembly 10 is completed.

[0087] Step 73: Using a wrench, slowly rotate the tightening nut 5 along the direction of tightening the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing so that the outer end face of the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing of the torque arm square arm assembly 10 fits against the positioning bushing 3. After applying force, check whether the first sealing washer 7 and the second sealing washer 8 fit against the contact surface of the torque arm square arm. If there is a gap, fine adjust the first sealing washer 7 and the second sealing washer 8 to ensure that there is no gap with the contact surface of the torque arm square arm.

[0088] Step 74: Place the installed torsion arm square arm assembly 10 and the bonding device into a high-temperature chamber, heat it to 65°C at a heating rate of no more than 4°C / min, and keep it at that temperature for more than 1 hour to cure the adhesive.

[0093] It should be noted that during the disassembly of the first sealing gasket 7 and the second sealing gasket 8, the scraper must not come into contact with the tungsten carbide shoulder bushing and the surface of the torsion arm square arm.

[0094] Step 77: Clean the surface of the torque arm square arm assembly 10 and the adhesive device with a clean white non-woven cloth until the white non-woven cloth shows no color change. The adhesive device accessories are strung on the base 1 for later use.
