[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a connecting rod bushing press-fitting device, including a support frame 1, a rotating frame 2, a first pressing head 41, a second pressing head 42, a third pressing head 43, a first positioning member 51, a second positioning member 52, a screw positioning member 6 and a driving device 7; the rotating frame 2 is rotatably arranged on the support frame 1, and the rotating frame 2 includes an upper turntable 21 and a lower turntable 22 arranged at intervals in the upper and lower directions (the upper turntable 21 and the lower turntable 22 are fixedly connected by a center column 23), and three groups of elastic movable rods 3 that can move up and down are circumferentially spaced on the upper turntable 21, and the first pressing head 41, the second pressing head 42 and the third pressing head 43 are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the three groups of elastic movable rods 3.

[0033] The driving end 71 of the driving device 7 is arranged above the elastic movable rod 3 and is eccentrically arranged with the rotating frame 2. The driving end 71 of the driving device 7 can abut against the elastic movable rod 3 rotated to the bottom of the driving end 71 and drive the elastic movable rod 3 to move downward; the first positioning member 51, the second positioning member 52 and the screw positioning member 6 are respectively coaxially arranged with the first pressure head 41, the second pressure head 42 and the third pressure head 43, the first positioning member 51 is used to position the first end of the connecting rod 81 for installing the brake cylinder, the second positioning member 52 is used to position the second end of the connecting rod 81 for installing the brake cylinder, and the screw positioning member 6 is used to position the screw 83 for installing the brake cylinder.

[0034] The connecting rod 81 in the brake cylinder is mainly used to connect with the lead screw 83 to transmit the braking force. The structure of the connecting rod 81 is the existing structure, and its left and right sides are symmetrical. The inner holes on the left and right sides are used to install two yellow sleeves, which are also bushings. They are wear-resistant bushings that can protect the connecting rod 81. The structure of the bushing is also the existing structure, which is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends, and the outer wall of one end has a convex ring with an increased diameter. The brake cylinder mentioned in this article is an air brake.

[0035] The connecting rod bushing press-fitting device is mainly used to press-fit the bushings on both sides of the connecting rod 81 in sequence and pre-compress the disc spring. The press-fitting device has three pressing heads, which can first press-fit one of the bushings into the inner hole on one side of the connecting rod 81, and then press-fit the other bushing into the inner hole on the other side of the connecting rod 81; after the disc spring is manually placed in the annular groove of the connecting rod 81 and covered with a pressure cover 82, the device can press the pressure cover 82 down to pre-compress the disc spring so that a temporary pin can be manually inserted; the pressure cover 82 has a hexagonal nut structure (i.e., a reset nut 821), and a socket is provided on the side wall of the reset nut 821, and a corresponding socket is provided on the end side wall of the lead screw 83. The temporary pin can be inserted into the through hole of the hexagonal nut structure and the socket of the lead screw 83 to fix the pressure cover 82 to the lead screw 83. The connecting rod 81, two bushings, disc springs, pressure cover 82 and lead screw 83 form a connecting rod assembly 8 after the connection is completed. The specific installation process is:

[0036] The connecting rod 81 is installed on the first positioning member 51 with the axis being horizontal, the rotating frame 2 is rotated until the first pressing head 41 is facing the driving end 71 of the driving device 7, and one of the bushings is placed in the corresponding inner hole of the connecting rod 81; the driving device 7 can drive the first pressing head 41 to press down the bushing by pressing down the corresponding elastic movable rod 3, so as to press the bushing into the inner hole on one side of the connecting rod 81.

[0037] Then the connecting rod 81 is flipped 180 degrees and installed on the second positioning member 52, the rotating frame 2 is rotated until the second pressing head 42 is facing the driving end 71 of the driving device 7, and the other bushing is placed in the corresponding inner hole of the connecting rod 81; the driving device 7 can drive the second pressing head 42 to press down the bushing by pressing down the corresponding elastic movable rod 3, so as to press the bushing into the inner hole on the other side of the connecting rod 81.

[0038] Then, the lead screw 83 is installed on the lead screw positioning member 6, and the rotating frame 2 is rotated until the third pressure head 43 is facing the driving end 71 of the driving device 7. The connecting rod 81 is placed in a vertical position according to the axis, and the disc spring is manually taken and placed in the annular groove of the connecting rod 81. The pressure cover 82 is covered, and the connecting rod 81 is sleeved on the lead screw 83. At this time, the end of the lead screw 83 passes through the center hole of the connecting rod 81, the inner hole of the disc spring, and the inner hole of the pressure cover 82 in sequence and passes out; the driving device 7 can drive the third pressure head 43 to press the pressure cover 82 by pressing the corresponding elastic moving rod 3 downward to achieve pre-compression of the disc spring. Then, a temporary pin is manually inserted into the pressure cover 82 and the lead screw 83, and the holes of the pressure cover 82 and the lead screw 83 for passing the elastic pin are aligned, and the pressure cover 82 and the lead screw 83 are temporarily fixed to complete the temporary assembly of the connecting rod assembly 8.

[0039] Therefore, the connecting rod bushing pressing device in this embodiment can be applied to the existing brake caliper unit products of railway locomotives and vehicles. By integrating the three pressing stations for pressing two bushings and pre-compressing disc springs into one device, the three pressing heads are integrated together to form a rotating three-column pressing head. The next pressing head can be replaced by rotating the rotating frame 2. The three pressing operations can be performed in sequence. The bushings on both sides of the connecting rod 81 can be pressed in sequence and the disc springs can be pre-compressed. It has a higher degree of integration, occupies less space, has more compact stations, has high pressing efficiency, and improves work efficiency.

[0041] In the initial state, the elastic movable rod 3 relies on gravity to make the return spring 31 in a slightly compressed state. When the driving device 7 presses down the elastic movable rod 3, the return spring 31 is further compressed. When the driving end 71 of the driving device 7 moves up and no longer presses down the elastic movable rod 3, the elastic movable rod 3 will move up to the initial position under the action of the return spring 31.

[0042] Generally, a linear bearing 33 is fixedly provided on the upper turntable 21, and the elastic movable rod 3 can be movably inserted into the linear bearing 33, and the lower end of the return spring 31 abuts against the top of the linear bearing 33; the linear shaft can play a guiding and protective role.

[0043] In order to make the device compatible with screws 83 of different lengths, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The screw positioning member 6 includes a rotating adjustment cylinder 61 and a fixed limiting cylinder 62. The rotating adjustment cylinder 61 is rotatably connected to the lower turntable 22, and the fixed limiting cylinder 62 is inserted in the rotating adjustment cylinder 61 and fixedly connected to the lower turntable 22; a plurality of groups of support grooves 611 with different heights are provided on the rotating adjustment cylinder 61, and two long strip-shaped adjustment holes 621 arranged opposite to each other are provided on the lower side wall of the fixed limiting cylinder 62.

The fixed limiting cylinder 62 is used to place the screw 83, and the bottom of the screw 83 can be supported against the transverse limiting rod 63.

[0044] The lower turntable 22 can be connected to the support frame 1 through a first bearing and can be rotated manually. The bottom of the rotation adjustment cylinder 61 can be connected to the lower turntable 22 through a second bearing and can be rotated manually.

In the prior art, in order to match screws 83 of different lengths, different positioning members can only be replaced. In this embodiment, a plurality of groups of support sleeves of different heights are integrated on the rotation adjustment cylinder 61, and only the position of the transverse limit rod 63 needs to be adjusted, which is simple and convenient, and has stronger adaptability.

[0046] Generally, a side opening connected to the top of the fixed limiting cylinder 62 is provided on the upper side wall thereof, so that the lead screw 83 can be placed more conveniently.

[0047] The first positioning member 51 and the second positioning member 52 are both fixed on the lower turntable 22, and both include positioning posts 53. The diameter of the positioning post 53 of the first positioning member 51 should match the diameter of the inner hole on one side of the connecting rod 81, and the diameter of the positioning post 53 of the second positioning member 52 should match the inner diameter of the bushing inserted in the inner hole on the other side of the connecting rod 81. The bottom of the positioning post 53 has an annular flange 54 for supporting the corresponding side end surface of the connecting rod 81 during the pressing process.

[0048] The first pressing head 41 and the second pressing head 42 each include a cylindrical pressing block 44 and a cylindrical guide block 45 connected up and down, and the diameter of the cylindrical guide block 45 is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical pressing block 44. The cylindrical guide block 45 is used to be inserted into the corresponding side inner hole of the connecting rod 81 or the inner hole of the installed bushing to play a guiding role; the bottom surface of the cylindrical pressing block 44 can be pressed against the end surface of the bushing during the downward pressing process and press the bushing downward.

[0049] The third pressure head 43 mentioned above can be a flat pressure head, which abuts against the top surface of the reset nut 821 of the pressure cover 82 when pressed down. After being pressed into place, the temporary pin is inserted into the reset nut 821 and the screw 83 while maintaining the downward pressure.

[0050] The driving device 7 can be, for example, a cylinder, the piston rod of which is vertically arranged and the bottom end of which constitutes the driving end 71. A switch is also provided on the support frame 1, and the switch is used to control the action of the cylinder.
