Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an assembly tool for hexagon socket invisible bolts, belonging to the technical field of manufacturing mechanical processing parts. Background Art

[0002] Conventional hexagon socket bolts that are tightened with a hexagonal wrench will have the hexagonal groove sunken and exposed after assembly, which will increase the radar wave reflection area and affect the stealth performance of the aircraft.

[0003] The inner hexagonal hole of the hexagon socket bolt is filled with a plug and an absorbing patch is pasted on the end face of the bolt head to absorb radar waves and reduce the radar wave reflection area, thereby improving the stealth performance of the aircraft.

[0004] At present, hexagon socket invisible bolts are widely used on aircraft and are in great demand. Such products are produced frequently and in large quantities.

[0005] Since the bolt is an internal hexagon, the plug that fills the internal hexagon is an external hexagon, such as Figure 1 As shown, during assembly, the inner and outer hexagons must be accurately positioned before the plugging cover can be smoothly installed into the bolt, so the assembly is difficult.

[0006] The traditional assembly method is to manually align the outer hexagon of the plug cover with the inner hexagon of the bolt before assembly. This assembly method is not only inefficient and has a high scrap rate, resulting in a long product production cycle and reduced product profits; it also requires a high level of skill for the assemblers, increasing the difficulty of their work. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems that the assembly method has low efficiency and high scrap rate, which leads to a long product production cycle and reduced product profits; and has high requirements on the skill level of assemblers, which increases the difficulty of the assemblers' work.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: Hexagon socket invisible bolt assembly tool, including assembly lower positioning seat, assembly upper positioning seat, positioning core rod and locking nut; After the positioning core rod is installed in the upper positioning seat, it is fixed to the lower positioning seat through a locking nut; The materials of the positioning seat, the upper positioning seat, the positioning core rod and the locking nut are all Cr12MoV, which reaches the hardness of HRC58-62 after quenching and tempering heat treatment, and the final surface treatment of the tooling is cleaning and passivation.

[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: The present invention has high assembly efficiency and reduces production costs; the assembly is stable and reliable, and the product assembly quality is improved; the assembly tooling has a simple structure, is easy to process and manufacture, and has low cost; it is easy to use and has low requirements on the skill level of the assembler.
