DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-9Further details of the present application: a blind hole insert installation plugging pin structure, which mainly includes a variable diameter plug (consisting of left and right, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 4 , 5 According to the diameter and height of the through hole of the blind hole insert (as shown in Figure 7 ) installed in the honeycomb sandwich panel, the threaded part diameter d1 = 4.8 mm, the height h1 = 4.7 mm, the unthreaded part diameter d2 = 6.4 mm, the height h2 = 3.1 mm, the outer sleeve diameter of the plugging pin is designed to be 4.8 mm and the height is 4.7 mm, the variable diameter plug diameter is 4.8 mm and the height is 3.1 mm, and the inner screw rod diameter is 1.6 mm and the height is 7.8 mm.
[0017] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the variable diameter plug includes left and right plugs with the same structure, which are connected into one body by a connecting piece. After connection, the central axis of the variable diameter plug forms a threaded hole A6. A connecting hole C3 is formed along the axis of the left plug, and a connecting hole C1 is formed along the axis of the right plug. The number of the two connecting holes is multiple and is distributed around the threaded hole A6. In this embodiment, the connecting piece is a connecting wire A18, as shown in Figure 6 . As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, connecting holes are formed on the left plug and the right plug for the connecting wire A18 to pass through. The connecting holes include connecting holes A4 with open ends on the upper and lower surfaces of the left plug and the right plug, connecting holes A2, and connecting holes B5 with open ends on the opposite surfaces of the left plug and the right plug. The number of connecting holes B5 is multiple, and connecting holes A2 and connecting holes B5 are in communication. To reduce the influence of the left plug and the right plug on the outer diameter of the variable diameter plug during connection, arc-shaped grooves are provided on the opposite surfaces of the left plug and the right plug. The upper and lower openings of the arc-shaped grooves are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the left plug and the right plug, respectively. The open ends of the connecting holes B5 are located in the arc-shaped grooves, and the two ends of the connecting wire A18 are located at the open ends of the connecting holes of the left plug and the right plug, respectively.
[0018] As shown in Figure 2 , the outer sleeve is used to plug the small diameter part of the through hole 20 of the blind hole insert (as shown in Figure 7 ). It includes an outer sleeve head and an outer sleeve threaded segment. Connecting holes C7 and threaded holes B8 are formed along the axis of the outer sleeve. The open ends of the connecting holes C7 are located on the upper surface of the outer sleeve head and the lower surface of the outer sleeve threaded segment, respectively. The number of connecting holes C7 is consistent with that of connecting holes C1 and connecting holes C3, and the positions are opposite. The threaded hole B8 is located on the central axis of the outer sleeve, and the position is opposite to that of the threaded hole A6.
[0019] In this embodiment, the connecting steel wire B17 (as shown in Figure 6 is inserted into the connecting hole C7 and the connecting hole C3, the connecting hole C7 and the connecting hole C1 in sequence, and then the left plug and the outer sleeve and the right plug and the outer sleeve are connected together.
[0020] As shown in Figure 3 , the inner screw rod includes an inner screw rod head 10 and an inner screw rod threaded segment 11. After the inner screw rod threaded segment 11 is screwed into the variable-diameter plug threaded hole A6, the lower end surface is flush with the bottom end surface of the variable-diameter plug. In addition, the outer diameter of the variable-diameter plug before being screwed into the inner screw rod is consistent with the outer diameter of the outer sleeve threaded segment. When the outer sleeve and the variable-diameter plug are installed into the through hole of the blind hole insert 19, the inner screw rod is screwed into the threaded hole B8 and the threaded hole A6 in sequence, so that the diameter of the variable-diameter plug is increased, and the part with a large diameter of the blind hole insert through hole 21 (as shown in Figure 7 ) is plugged.
[0021] As shown in Figure 4 , 5 , in this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting steel wire B17 are provided with external threads, and the two ends of the connecting steel wire B17 are plugged by the upper end fixed plug 13 and the lower end fixed plug 15. In order to facilitate operation, a slot 12 is arranged on the upper surface of the upper end fixed plug 13, and a threaded hole C14 is arranged on the lower surface of the upper end fixed plug 13. The threaded hole C14 is a blind hole, and the axial direction is consistent with the central axis of the upper end fixed plug 13. A threaded hole C14 is arranged on the lower surface of the lower end fixed plug 15, and a threaded hole C16 is arranged on the lower surface of the lower end fixed plug 15. The threaded hole C16 is a blind hole, and the axial direction is consistent with the central axis of the lower end fixed plug 15.
[0022] As shown in Figure 7 , the blind hole insert 19 includes a blind hole insert through hole and blind hole insert overflow holes 22 and 23. The blind hole insert through hole is a stepped hole arranged along the axial direction of the blind hole insert 19. The part with a small diameter (the blind hole insert through hole 20) is located at the upper part of the stepped hole and is provided with an internal thread matched with the outer sleeve threaded segment. The part with a large diameter (the blind hole insert through hole 21) is located at the lower part of the stepped hole and has no internal thread. The blind hole insert overflow holes 22 and 23 are arranged oppositely.
[0023] The left plug and the right plug of the variable-diameter plug are first connected together by connecting steel wire A. The connecting steel wire A needs to be inserted from one half of the connecting hole, pass through the hole diameter, and then be inserted into the other half of the connecting hole, and also pass through the hole diameter. In this way, the connecting steel wire A is inserted and passed through the left plug and the right plug to connect them. The last passing needs to fall on the half that is not the first insertion. Then the variable-diameter plug is connected with the external sleeve by connecting steel wire B. Both ends of all the connecting steel wire B need to be fixed by steel wire fixed plug. The upper end of the steel wire with a slot 12 is fixed by the plug 13 installed on the upper end, and the lower end of the steel wire without a slot is fixed by the plug 15 installed on the lower end. The change of the diameter of the variable-diameter plug is realized by the internal screw rod. It is required that the internal screw rod can be well matched with the non-threaded part of the through hole of the blind hole insert after entering the variable-diameter plug, so as to ensure that the through hole of the blind hole insert is not blocked by the potting glue after installation, realize the connection and other installation functions, and meet the design installation requirements.
[0024] A method for using the plugging pin structure for installing the blind hole insert, comprising the following steps, (1) According to the design requirements of the hole diameter size and position, the installation hole of the blind hole insert is made on the honeycomb sandwich plate (including the honeycomb core 28, the fiber plate 24 adhered to the upper surface of the honeycomb core 28 by the adhesive film 26, and the fiber plate 25 adhered to the lower surface of the honeycomb core 28 by the adhesive film 27); (2) As shown in Figure 8 , the external sleeve and the variable-diameter plug are installed into the through hole of the blind hole insert 19, and the internal screw rod is screwed into the threaded hole of the external sleeve and the variable-diameter plug, so that the diameter of the variable-diameter plug is increased to plug the part of the through hole of the blind hole insert 19 with a large diameter. The internal screw rod is screwed to be flush with the end face of the variable-diameter plug, so as to prevent the internal screw rod from protruding too much or too little from the end face of the variable-diameter plug, causing insufficient potting glue under the blind hole insert or overflow of the potting glue into the through hole; (3) The potting glue 29 is injected into the installation hole of the blind hole insert 19, and the blind hole insert after plugging the through hole is inserted into the installation hole of the blind hole insert into which the potting glue is injected. The potting glue overflowing from the glue overflow hole of the blind hole insert and the gap between the blind hole insert and the installation hole of the honeycomb sandwich plate is removed; (4) After the potting glue 29 is gelled, the internal screw rod is unscrewed to withdraw from the variable-diameter plug part, so that the internal screw rod and the end face of the variable-diameter plug are separated from the potting glue. After the potting glue is completely cured, the plugging pin structure is removed to prevent excess material from entering the through hole of the blind hole insert and being stuck with the potting glue, so as to complete the installation of the blind hole insert with a large inner diameter and a small outer diameter, and the blind hole insert with glue for potting is shown in Figure 9 .
