Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a fastening and assembling tool for a cup-type locking washer of an aero-engine bore. Background Art
[0002] There are many special parts in aircraft engines, among which the cup lock washer used to tighten the boresight bolts is a special washer. There are many boresight ports in the engine for boresight inspection. After the inspection, the boresight bolts need to be tightened. When tightening the boresight bolts, a torque wrench is used to ensure the torque range.
[0003] Aircraft safety requirements require 100% reliability. A cup-type locking washer is designed under the borehole bolt to tighten with the borehole bolt to improve reliability. This cup-type locking washer is a very special washer that needs to be matched with the two diagonal grooves of the borehole bolt to achieve a locking and insurance function. Currently, there is no special installation tool. You can only use an aluminum rod and a hammer to knock the edge of the cup-type locking washer from the side to deform the cup-type locking washer and match it with the groove of the borehole bolt to limit the rotation of the borehole bolt and prevent it from loosening.
[0004] However, the gaps between engine components are very small, and the position of the mating surfaces also has diagonal requirements. Due to the lack of space, it is very difficult to install using aluminum rods and hammers, which takes a lot of time but does not achieve the best results. If you are not careful, it may also cause damage to surrounding components, resulting in significant economic losses. If the cup lock washer is not installed properly and does not tighten the bolt, it will also cause safety risks and even cause major safety accidents. Using aluminum rods for installation is easy to produce aluminum chips, which may also damage the parts if they bounce into the precise and critical parts of the engine. Utility Model Content
