TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of buffer mounting tool, in particular to a sealing sleeve into cylinder mounting tool in buffer strut. BACKGROUND
[0002] The buffer strut is the core component of various types of aircraft landing gear. In order to meet the performance requirements of aircraft landing gear retraction, buffering and taxiing, most buffer struts are structured with hydraulic cylinders as the core and various joint features are displayed according to the interface requirements. Therefore, the key parts in the buffer strut, such as the piston rod and the outer cylinder, have both high-precision rotary features to achieve sealing effect and external joint features to cooperate with other interfaces, which easily leads to interference from external joint features in the key process of buffer strut assembly, i.e. the sealing sleeve into cylinder process, thereby causing limited operation space for workers, difficult assembly work and low work efficiency.
[0003] The existing installation process is that when the sealing sleeve into cylinder operation is performed, the rubber hammer is used to knock the edge of the sealing sleeve obliquely around the circumference of the sealing sleeve to push the sealing sleeve into the cylinder slowly by using the instantaneous impact force when the edge of the sealing sleeve is knocked. If the rubber hammer cannot avoid the interference features, a soft metal rod (aluminum rod, copper rod, etc.) is used as an auxiliary tool to knock the sealing sleeve into the outer cylinder in a way similar to hole drilling. This method is not only inefficient, but also has the risk of damaging the parts. SUMMARY

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.
[0024] See Figures 1-6 A tooling for installing a sealing bushing in a buffer support includes a support top block 1, a base 2, a V-block 3, a fastening nut 4, a roller bearing 5, a screw 6, a hinged support sleeve 7, a tightening screw 8, a screw connector 9, a connector base 10, and a buffer support 11 including an outer cylinder 111, a sealing bushing 112, and a piston rod 113. One end of the base 2 is provided with a support top block 1 for contacting the top surface of the buffer support 11, the middle of the base 2 is provided with a V-block 3 for placing the outer circumference of the buffer support 11, and the other end of the support base 2 is provided with a connector. The base 10 has a support ring at one end for supporting the screw 6. T-slots for placing the screw connector 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the base 10 to ensure that the screw connector 9 can only move in a straight line under the drive of the screw 6. The screw 6 is installed and extends out of the screw connector 9 after passing through the support ring and the roller bearing 5. The fastening nut 4 is installed on the screw 6 located outside the support ring to fasten the screw 6. A hinged support sleeve 7 for fitting with the outer circle of the piston rod 113 is installed on the screw connector 9 by tightening screws 8.
[0025] In this embodiment, the V-shaped block 3 is provided with a pressure plate for clamping the buffer support column 11.
[0026] In this embodiment, the hinge support sleeve 7 includes an upper hinge sleeve 71 (the shaded area of the grid represents an attached plastic protective sheet), a shaft pin 72, a tightening screw 8, a bolt 73, a nut 74, and a lower hinge sleeve 75 (the shaded area of the grid represents an attached plastic protective sheet). The upper hinge sleeve 71 has two upper lugs 76 spaced apart on one side, with a spacing equal to the length of one upper lug 76. The other side of the upper hinge sleeve 71 has bolt holes for inserting the bolts 73. The lower hinge sleeve 75 has... There are three lower ear pieces 76, with a spacing equal to the length of one lower ear piece 76. The other side of the lower hinge sleeve 75 is provided with a bolt hole for the insertion of a bolt 73. The upper ear piece 76 and the lower ear piece 76 are of equal length. The pin 72 is inserted into the upper ear piece 76 and the lower ear piece 76 that are engaged together, ensuring that the upper hinge sleeve 71 and the lower hinge sleeve 75 can maintain high-precision opening and closing movement after the pin 72 is inserted. The nut 74 is fastened to the bolt 73 to fix the upper hinge sleeve 71 and the lower hinge sleeve 75 together.
[0027] In this embodiment, the upper hinge sleeve 71 and the lower hinge sleeve 75 are semi-circular structures, which together form an inner hole for fitting with the outer circle of the piston rod 113.
[0028] In this embodiment, the upper part of the screw connector 9 is provided with a boss for engaging with the hinged support sleeve 7, the middle part of the screw connector 9 is provided with a through hole for the screw 6 to pass through, and the two sides of the screw connector 9 are provided with grooves for nesting the screw connector 9 in the T-slot.
[0029] In this embodiment, a hinge base is provided on the lower hinge sleeve 75, and an oblong hole is provided on the hinge base for installing the tightening screw 8. The axial position of the hinge support sleeve 7 and the screw joint 9 can be adjusted within a certain range to accommodate the buffer support column 11 with similar structural dimensions.
[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom of the lower hinge sleeve 75 of the hinge support sleeve 7 is provided with a strip groove that fits into the boss. Different specifications of hinge support sleeve 7 can be customized according to the different sizes of the buffer support column 11 to be installed, and quick replacement can be achieved by using the boss.
[0031] In this embodiment, the working principle of the sealing bushing insertion tool is as follows: like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the ear structure of the hinge support sleeve 7 ensures the opening and closing accuracy of the upper hinge sleeve 71 and the lower hinge sleeve 75, while ensuring that the end face of the hinge support sleeve 7 can stably fit the end face of the sealing bushing 112 during operation, and the plastic protective sheet glued to the inner side of the upper hinge sleeve 71 and the lower hinge sleeve 75 can effectively prevent scratches on the machine body. The screw connector 9 and the base 10 are precisely fitted with a T-slot to ensure that the screw connector 9 can only move in a straight line under the drive of the screw 6. The hinge support sleeve 7 and the screw connector 9, as well as the screw connector 9 and the connector base 10, are precisely fitted with slots to further ensure the consistency between the movement direction of the hinge support sleeve 7 and the axis of the sealing sleeve 112 when the sealing sleeve 112 is installed in the cylinder. This tooling utilizes the hinge structure of the hinge support sleeve 7 to bypass all non-rotational features and directly mate with the outer circle of the piston rod 113. Then, it uses the T-groove structure to convert the rotational force of the screw 6 into the linear thrust of the hinge support sleeve 7, thereby achieving efficient insertion and installation of the sealing bushing 112.
[0032] In this embodiment, the method of using the sealing bushing insertion tool is as follows: Figures 7-9 As shown: Assembly before entering the cylinder: install the nut 114, sealing bushing 112 and other sleeve parts 115 on the piston rod 113 in sequence, and then insert the piston rod 113 into the outer cylinder 111 to achieve the state of being ready to enter the cylinder. At this time, the sealing bushing 112 and the nut are in a free sliding state on the piston rod 113, and the assembly space of the hinge support sleeve 7 is reserved between the two. Open the hinge support sleeve 7 and the V-shaped block 3 on the base 2, and install the buffer support column 11 on the tooling. The top surface of the buffer support column 11 is in contact with the support top block 1, and the middle outer circle of the buffer support column 11 is placed on the V-shaped block 3. The key point is that the lower hinge sleeve 75 of the hinge support sleeve 7 is in contact with the outer circle of the piston rod 113. Then close the hinge sleeve 71 and tighten it with the tightening screw 8, and fasten the pressure plate on the V-shaped block 3. After the buffer support 11 is fixed, start to rotate the screw 6 with a socket wrench to drive the hinge support sleeve 7 to push the sealing bushing 112 into the outer cylinder 111. When the sealing bushing 112 is in place, you can feel a clear reverse force when rotating the screw 6. Finally, loosen the pressure plate on the V-block 3 and insert the nut to complete the installation of the sleeve.
[0033] Precautions: Since the plastic protective sheets are glued to the inside of both the upper hinge sleeve 71 and the lower hinge sleeve 75, the overall structure has a certain degree of flexibility. Therefore, the inner hole formed by the upper hinge sleeve 71 and the lower hinge sleeve 75 does not need to be strictly and precisely matched with the outer circle of the piston rod 113. A small gap or a certain degree of forced assembly is acceptable. Since the main feed of the sealing bushing 112 comes from the driving force provided by the rotation of the screw 6, the main stress point is the support top block 1. The role of the V-block 3 is more to prevent the driving force from being decomposed obliquely due to the error of the buffer support 11 parts, which would cause the parts to move. Appropriate tightening is sufficient, and there is no need to deliberately tighten it. While manually rotating screw 6, workers can also assess whether there is jamming or deadlock based on the force feedback from screw 6, thus avoiding forced assembly. After the installation of a buffer support 11 is completed, the screw 6 is reset without the need for driving force or high position requirements. It can be reset with the help of a hand drill or pneumatic tools.
