Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for punching an open pin after the completion of bolt connection of an aircraft product and an automatic punching tool special for the method, in particular to a method for punching an HB-02-A type open pin of an aircraft and a punching tool special for the method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the manufacturing process of an aircraft and other aircraft products, in addition to rivets, bolts are also used in large quantities for connecting parts. The use of bolts has the advantages of simple construction process, easy installation, simple structure and easy disassembly. In the composite material area, the use of bolts is more widespread due to the characteristics of the composite material that is easy to delaminate. With the high-speed movement and high-frequency vibration of the aircraft, the bolts may become loose, so a large number of anti-loosening measures must be used for bolt connection to prevent loosening. If the anti-loosening measures do not meet the design requirements, the bolt connection may become loose, which may cause the connection to fail, the strength to not meet the design requirements, or the nut to fall off and generate excess material, which may damage other parts or components, or in a more serious case, the nut falling off into the air inlet may cause a serious safety hazard to the aircraft engine, resulting in engine failure and affecting the power of the aircraft, causing unpredictable serious consequences. Therefore, bolt connection anti-loosening is particularly important and must be applied.

[0003] At present, the main bolt connection anti-loosening methods include fuse anti-loosening, stop washer anti-loosening, open pin anti-loosening and impact point anti-loosening. This paper studies the open pin anti-loosening method and provides a safe and reliable technical solution. The HB-02-A type open pin of an aircraft is widely used in the connection between nuts and bolts to prevent them from rotating relative to each other, achieving high-quality anti-loosening effect and avoiding the occurrence of aircraft accidents caused by bolt connection failure. Open pin anti-loosening is one of the better anti-loosening methods for bolts, and the quality requirements are that the surface of the open pin must not have burrs, cracks and rust spots, the head must not be twisted and broken, the tail must not be flattened and broken, and the installed open pin must not swing.

[0004] In the prior art, the main way to make split pins is manual, that is, after the split pin is inserted into the bolt, the two remaining legs of the split pin are pried open with a screwdriver, wrench or other tools. The existing installation method of split pins can meet the anti-loosening requirement when the split pin is pried open to 60°. However, for fields such as aviation and aerospace equipment that require high reliability and high strength, the split pin needs to be rolled back into the groove reserved for the nut to improve the performance and reliability of anti-loosening. In this case, the traditional manual installation method assisted by a screwdriver, wrench or other tools has the problems of difficult installation adjustment, easy bending and deformation of the split pin, long installation time, and poor installation process precision. Specifically, the position and bending angle of the split pin need to be adjusted repeatedly during installation, which reduces the installation efficiency, wastes unnecessary time, and cannot guarantee the product cycle on time to adapt to the tight production rhythm. In addition, although the split pin has high toughness, each leg of the split pin can only be bent once, and the bent part is not allowed to break or crack. The operation is difficult, and the quality of manual production is judged by the operator, which varies from person to person and is greatly affected by the operator's skill level. When the screwdriver is used to make the nut reserved groove, the screwdriver needs to be pressed to ensure that the remaining leg of the split pin is bent in place. Under the condition of high human force, the screwdriver blade is easy to slip and damage the nut, the surrounding parts and the operator. After searching related patents, no high-quality method or related patent that can meet the needs of high anti-loosening performance and high reliability performance in the field of aviation product split pin making, and has the advantages of simple operation, fast installation speed, high production quality and safe operation process has been found. Therefore, in order to facilitate the operator to make split pins and better ensure the quality after installation, a new aviation split pin making device is needed to make split pins quickly, efficiently, with quality and quantity. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, a simple method is explored, which has low labor intensity, high efficiency of split pin punching, is not affected by the skill level of the operator, uniform quality standard, and is not easy to cause damage to the operator and the nut. The technical scheme aims to provide an operator with a special electronic punching tool specially used for HB-02-A split pin punching. The technical scheme is composed of mechanical and electrical control parts, which has simple structure, low cost, small size and is convenient to carry; the operation is simple, the power part is electric, which saves time and effort; the design is ingenious, which can realize synchronous high-precision bending and locking of the two remaining feet of the split pin, and can ensure that each bending of the tail part of the split pin is formed once, effectively avoids deformation and misplacement of the split pin during installation, greatly improves the installation efficiency, further ensures the installation accuracy of the split pin, maximizes the stress strength of the split pin, and well meets the needs of high anti-looseness performance and high reliability performance of the mechanical connection structure in the aviation field. The present application provides a split pin punching method and special tool for preventing aviation HB-02-A split pin from loosening, so as to solve the problems in the above technical background.

In the technical scheme, the installation of split pin on the nut workpiece is mainly involved, and the nut workpiece specifically refers to the combined structure of hexagonal nut and bolt. In the present application, a hexagonal nut is specifically involved, and the hexagonal nut has six sides. In the prior art, a pin hole is provided on the bolt, and each side of the nut has a nut groove, and a pair of nut grooves are formed by two same direction nut grooves. The split pin corresponds to the pin hole of the bolt and a pair of nut grooves of the nut. Specifically, the two feet of the split pin are inserted into the nut groove corresponding to the side A of the nut, pass through the pin hole of the bolt, and then pass out of the nut groove corresponding to the opposite side B of the nut, and the two sides of the pass-in and pass-out are parallel to each other, so that the part of the split pin passing out of the side B is the remaining foot of the split pin, as shown in Figure 1 .

Step 3: Preparation for forging; Place the two working ends of the left working arm (1) and the right working arm (2) on the two remaining legs of the cotter pin that are at a 120° angle, and make the lead screw (7) of the forging tool coincide with the bisector of the angle between the opening of the cotter pin, so as to ensure that the two remaining legs are bent and snapped in sync. The preparation for forging is complete. Step 4: Making operation; After all preparations are correct, press the forward button (13), the servo motor (18) rotates forward, and the output end of the servo motor (18) is interference-fitted with the lead screw (7) to drive the lead screw (7) to rotate forward. The lead screw (7) and the lead screw sleeve (8) achieve helical rotation, and the forward movement of the left working arm (1) and the right working arm (2) driven by the main support (3) is completed. When the strain gauges (24) attached to the side ends of the left working arm (1) and the right working arm (2) reach the specified value, the cotter pin making operation is completed. Step 5: Disengage from work; Press the retraction button (14), the lead screw (7) begins to rotate counterclockwise, the left working arm (1) and the right working arm (2) begin to move under the action of the spiral rotation, and then complete the retraction work; disengage from the work point from the punching tool, and the work is completed.
