It can only be pre-placed at the bottom of the high-pressure rotor disc cavity, then lifted from the disc's center hole and installed from the middle, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, the air duct and the high-vortex rotor are connected by a threaded connection and a locking ring for stop, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, this part is in Figure 1 The position marked A in the middle makes the air duct assembly quite difficult. To date, there is no readily available air duct installation device to borrow, nor is there any relevant device structure for reference. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a device for installing the core machine air duct. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of air duct installation in a certain type of core machine in the prior art, and to provide an air duct installation device and installation method.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention discloses an air duct installation device, comprising a main drive assembly, a positioning and stopping assembly, a hook holding control assembly, and an auxiliary operation assembly;
[0006] The main drive assembly includes a rod with a first handle at its upper part; the hook control assembly includes a pawl at the lower end of the rod and a hook rod passing through the rod, the pawl having a boss for connecting with the central groove of the air duct during operation to control the air duct's up-and-down movement and rotation; one end of the hook rod is connected to the pawl, and the other end of the hook rod extending from the rod has a second cylindrical pin for controlling the hook rod's up-and-down movement, causing the boss of the pawl to pop out or retract; the positioning and stopping assembly includes a stop sleeve movably fitted onto the upper part of the rod, with a second handle on the stop sleeve; the stop sleeve engages with the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc journal to achieve stopping during tightening; the auxiliary operation assembly includes an arc-shaped clamp located in the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc journal for securing the air duct's locking ring during operation; and a lifting device is provided at the upper end of the rod.
[0007] Further improvements are made in the following aspects:
[0008] The upper end of the rod is also provided with a lifting and balancing assembly; the lifting and balancing assembly includes a bushing connected to the upper end of the rod, the bushing is connected with an eye bolt, and the eye bolt is used to connect with the crane hook during lifting.
[0009] A spring balancer is installed between the eye bolt and the crane hook.
[0010] The stop sleeve is provided with a connecting hole. When the installation device is installed into or removed from the core machine, a pin is inserted into the connecting hole to fix the stop sleeve and the hook rod.
[0011] The bow-shaped clamp is fixed in the end groove of the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc rear journal by an internal hexagonal head screw.
[0012] The hook is hinged to the rod via a first cylindrical pin.
[0013] A through hole is provided on the axis of the hook rod, and the diameter of the through hole is adapted to the outer diameter of the endoscope to facilitate observation of the position of the air duct falcon groove.
[0014] Two bow-shaped clamps are provided and are installed diagonally around the circumference of the journal of the high-speed vortex primary disk.
[0015] The outer wall of the protrusion of the hook is provided with a guide slope, which extends outward from the end of the protrusion to the root, so as to guide the protrusion of the hook into the middle of the falcon groove of the air duct.
[0016] Two first handles are provided, symmetrically inserted into rectangular slots on the outside of the rod; the first handles are clearance-fitted with the rectangular slots to enable quick assembly and disassembly of the first handles.
[0017] Secondly, the present invention discloses an air duct installation method based on the above-mentioned device, comprising:
[0018] Locking ring pre-fixing: hook the hook end of the bow-shaped clamp onto the locking ring of the air duct, and then fix the bow-shaped clamp diagonally on the rear end face of the high-volume first-stage disc rear journal to achieve pre-fixing of the locking ring;
[0019] Lifting and initial state adjustment of the device: Attach the lifting device of the device to the crane hook; fix the stop sleeve to the rod; move the second cylindrical pin to drive the hook rod to slide upward along the axial through hole inside the rod, causing the hook claw to rotate and retract the lower end boss, lock the position of the hook rod, and complete the initial state adjustment of the device.
[0020] Device insertion and positioning: Operate the crane to slowly move the device into the core machine until the stop sleeve is aligned with the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc rear journal; release the position lock of the stop sleeve and hook rod, move the second cylindrical pin to keep the hook rod in the upper position, and insert the lower end of the stop sleeve into the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc rear journal; slowly release the second cylindrical pin to move the hook rod down and push the hook claw to rotate until the lower end boss of the hook claw is engaged in the tenon groove in the middle of the air duct; operate the crane to slowly lift the device, moving the air duct upward until the upper thread of the air duct contacts the thread of the high-speed vortex rotor;
[0021] Air duct tightening assembly: Drive the second handle to fix the stop sleeve to prevent it from rotating circumferentially, and at the same time drive the first handle to rotate the rod clockwise. Through the cooperation between the hook claw boss and the air duct tenon groove, the air duct will rotate synchronously, so that the upper thread of the air duct gradually engages with the high vortex rotor thread and tightens until the air duct is assembled in place.
[0022] Device disassembly and finishing: Move the second cylindrical pin to move the hook rod upward, so that the hook claw boss disengages from the middle tenon groove of the air duct, and insert the pin to lock the hook rod position; push the stop sleeve upward to disengage it from the end groove of the rear end face of the journal of the high-speed vortex first stage disc, and lock the stop sleeve on the rod; operate the crane to slowly move the device out of the core machine; remove the bow clamp to complete the air duct installation.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] This invention discloses an air duct installation device. A first handle is mounted on the rod of the main drive assembly, and a second handle is mounted on the positioning and stopping assembly, providing convenient points of force application for the operator. This makes the entire device easier to hold and operate, significantly reducing operational difficulty. Even first-time users can quickly learn to use it, effectively improving installation efficiency. The hook control assembly features an ingenious design. A boss on the hook claw allows for precise connection with the tenon groove in the middle of the air duct, enabling precise control of the air duct's vertical movement and rotation. Simultaneously, by controlling the second cylindrical pin to drive the hook rod up and down, the hook claw boss pops out or retracts. This linkage control method makes the gripping and releasing actions of the air duct more precise and reliable, ensuring that the air duct accurately reaches the predetermined position during installation, improving installation accuracy. The positioning and stopping assembly's movable stop sleeve, fitted onto the upper part of the rod, engages with the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex primary drive disc's rear journal, providing reliable stopping during tightening. This design avoids installation deviations caused by device shaking or displacement during installation, ensuring installation stability and allowing the air duct to be securely installed in the designated position, thus improving installation quality. The bow-shaped clamp of the auxiliary operating component is located in the end groove on the rear end face of the journal of the high-speed turbine first-stage disk, which can firmly hook the locking ring of the air duct during operation. This design provides additional auxiliary support and fixation for the installation process, preventing the locking ring from accidentally loosening or shifting during installation, further ensuring the reliability of the air duct installation and reducing the risk of failure after installation. This device not only effectively solves the installation problem of core engine air ducts, but also can be used as a reference for the installation of air ducts of various types of aero engines and core engines if a similar structure is adopted. This fully demonstrates the versatility and adaptability of this device, enabling it to play a role in a wider range of fields and providing an efficient and reliable solution for air duct installation in aero engines and related industries.
[0025] This invention discloses an air duct installation method. In the pre-fixing step of the locking ring, the hook end of the bow-shaped clamp is hooked onto the locking ring of the air duct and fixed diagonally to the rear end face of the journal of the first-stage high-speed vortex machine. This diagonal fixing method enables the locking ring to obtain uniform and stable support force in the initial stage of installation, effectively preventing the locking ring from shaking or shifting during subsequent operations, laying a good foundation for the entire installation process, improving the initial stability of the installation, and reducing installation deviations and subsequent adjustment work caused by unstable initial fixing. In the device lifting and initial state adjustment step, the lifting device is attached to the crane hook, facilitating flexible movement and precise positioning of the device by the crane. At the same time, through a series of operations on the stop sleeve and hook rod, such as moving the stop sleeve, moving the second cylindrical pin to drive the hook rod to slide, causing the hook claw to rotate and retract the boss and lock the position, the device can be quickly adjusted to an initial state suitable for entering the core machine. This design makes the initial preparation operation of the device simple and easy, greatly shortening the preparation time before installation and improving the overall installation efficiency. In the installation and positioning steps, a crane is used to slowly move the device into the core machine until the stop sleeve aligns with the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex rotor's first-stage journal. By releasing the position lock between the stop sleeve and the hook rod, and cleverly utilizing the second cylindrical pin to control the state of the hook rod and hook claw, the stop sleeve is first engaged in the end groove for initial positioning. Then, the hook claw boss is engaged in the tenon groove in the middle of the air duct. Finally, the crane lifting device moves the air duct upwards until it makes threaded contact with the high-speed vortex rotor. This series of operations is interconnected, accurately positioning the device and air duct to the designated location, ensuring the accuracy of the installation position and avoiding installation failure or rework due to inaccurate positioning. This installation method, through the organic combination of the above steps, forms a complete, systematic, and efficient air duct installation process. From the initial pre-fixing of the locking ring to the final disassembly and finishing of the device, each step is closely linked and works in concert. This not only greatly shortens the installation time of the air duct and improves the installation efficiency, but also ensures the quality of the air duct installation through precise operation and reliable quality control, reducing the failure rate and rework rate during the installation process. This provides a strong guarantee for the normal operation of equipment such as aero engines and has significant economic and social benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0053] This invention discloses an air duct installation method. In the pre-fixing step of the locking ring, the hook end of the bow-shaped clamp is hooked onto the locking ring of the air duct and fixed diagonally to the rear end face of the journal of the first-stage high-speed vortex machine. This diagonal fixing method enables the locking ring to obtain uniform and stable support force in the initial stage of installation, effectively preventing the locking ring from shaking or shifting during subsequent operations, laying a good foundation for the entire installation process, improving the initial stability of the installation, and reducing installation deviations and subsequent adjustment work caused by unstable initial fixing.

In the installation and positioning steps, a crane is used to slowly move the device into the core machine until the stop sleeve aligns with the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex rotor's first-stage journal. By releasing the position lock between the stop sleeve and the hook rod, and cleverly utilizing the second cylindrical pin to control the state of the hook rod and hook claw, the stop sleeve is first engaged in the end groove for initial positioning. Then, the hook claw boss is engaged in the tenon groove in the middle of the air duct. Finally, the crane lifting device moves the air duct upwards until it makes threaded contact with the high-speed vortex rotor.

This installation method, through the organic combination of the above steps, forms a complete, systematic, and efficient air duct installation process. From the initial pre-fixing of the locking ring to the final disassembly and finishing of the device, each step is closely linked and works in concert. This not only greatly shortens the installation time of the air duct and improves the installation efficiency, but also ensures the quality of the air duct installation through precise operation and reliable quality control, reducing the failure rate and rework rate during the installation process. This provides a strong guarantee for the normal operation of equipment such as aero engines and has significant economic and social benefits.
[0054] The working process of this invention is as follows:
[0055] Locking ring pre-fixing: Take two bow-shaped clips 6, hook the hook end of each bow-shaped clip 6 onto the locking ring of the air duct, and then use two internal hexagonal head screws 12 to pass through the reserved holes of the end slots on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc rear journal, and engage with the threaded holes of the corresponding bow-shaped clips 6 to tighten them, so that the two bow-shaped clips 6 are fixed in a diagonal state, thereby achieving the pre-fixing of the locking ring on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc rear journal.
[0056] Lifting and initial state adjustment of the device: Attach the upper hook of the spring balancer 14 to the crane hook, and then attach the lifting eye screw 11 of the device to the lower hook of the spring balancer 14; insert the pin 8 into the positioning hole corresponding to the stop sleeve 4 and the rod 1 to fix the stop sleeve 4 on the rod 1; move the cylindrical pin 13 to drive the hook rod 3 to slide upward along the axial through hole inside the rod 1, causing the hook claw 2 to rotate around the cylindrical pin 9 and retract the lower boss; insert the pin 8 into the positioning hole corresponding to the hook rod 3 and the rod 1 to lock the position of the hook rod 3, thus completing the initial state adjustment of the device.
[0057] Device insertion and positioning: Operate the crane to slowly move the device into the core machine until the stop sleeve 4 is aligned with the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc rear journal; pull out the pin 8 that fixes the stop sleeve 4 and the hook rod 3, move the cylindrical pin 13 to keep the hook rod 3 in the upper position, and insert the lower end of the stop sleeve 4 into the end groove on the rear end face of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc rear journal; insert the endoscope through the through hole in the middle of the hook rod 3 to observe and locate the position of the tenon groove in the middle of the air duct, slowly release the cylindrical pin 13 to move the hook rod 3 down, push the hook pawl 2 to rotate around the cylindrical pin 9 until the lower end boss of the hook pawl 2 is engaged in the tenon groove in the middle of the air duct; operate the crane to fine-tune the length of the spring balancer 14, slowly lift the device, and move the air duct upward until the upper thread of the air duct contacts the thread of the high-speed vortex rotor.
[0058] Air duct tightening assembly: Insert the two handles 5 into the rectangular slots symmetrically opened in the middle of the rod 1, and insert the two handles 10 into the slots symmetrically opened on the side wall of the stop sleeve 4; the operator holds the handles 10 with both hands to fix the stop sleeve 4 and prevent it from rotating circumferentially, while holding the handles 5 with both hands to rotate the rod 1 clockwise. Through the cooperation between the hook 2 boss and the air duct tenon groove, the air duct is driven to rotate synchronously, so that the upper thread of the air duct gradually engages with the high vortex rotor thread and tightens until the air duct is assembled in place (the threads are fully engaged and the axial position of the air duct meets the design requirements).
[0059] Device disassembly and finishing: Pull out and remove handle 5 and handle 10 in sequence; move the cylindrical pin 13 to move the hook rod 3 upward, so that the hook claw 2 protrusion disengages from the middle tenon groove of the air duct, and insert the pin 8 to lock the position of the hook rod 3; push the stop sleeve 4 upward to disengage it from the end groove of the rear end face of the journal of the high-speed vortex first stage disc, and insert the pin 8 to fix the stop sleeve 4 on the rod 1; operate the crane to slowly move the device out of the core machine; unscrew the hex socket head cap screw 12, remove the bow clip 6, and complete the entire process of air duct installation.
[0060] The working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0061] During use, first use the bow-shaped clip 6 to hook the locking ring 108, and then use the internal hex head screw 12 to fix the bow-shaped clip 6. Both bow-shaped clips 6 are installed diagonally.
[0062] Hang the spring balancer 14 on the crane hook, then hang the lifting eye screw of the device on the spring balancer 14, fix the stop sleeve 4 on the rod 1 with the pin 8, pull the second cylindrical pin 13 to lift the hook rod 3, so that the boss is retracted, insert another pin 8 into the hole of the hook rod 3, loosen the second cylindrical pin 13 and install the whole device into the core machine.
[0063] Tighten the second cylindrical pin 13, pull out the pin 8, and place the stop sleeve 4 onto the end groove 1050 of the high-speed vortex first-stage disc rear journal. Use an endoscope to locate the position of the tenon groove in the middle of the air duct, and slowly loosen the second cylindrical pin 13 so that the boss on the hook 2 enters the air duct groove 106.
