Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of high-speed EMU maintenance operations, and particularly relates to an auxiliary tool for applying torque to the grounding wire of the axle box end cover of an EMU. Background Art

[0002] The axle box end cover is a component connecting the axle box cover and the end cover. Its main functions are to fix the axle box cover and the end cover, and at the same time play a role in sealing and protection to ensure the normal operation of machinery and equipment. At present, when applying torque to the grounding wire of the axle box end cover of an EMU, it is carried out manually without the aid of a tool. During the operation of applying torque, the operator stands the axle box end cover upright, holds the end cover tightly with the left hand, and applies torque with the right hand, or presses the axle box end cover onto the table with the left hand and then applies torque with the right hand. The operation of the operator is extremely inconvenient during the operation process. Not only is the operation process inefficient, but there is also a risk of personnel scratching during the torque application process.

[0003] The main reason for the current problem is that the overall structure of the axle box end cover of an EMU is a hemispherical structure. The hemispherical structure itself is not easy to fix. When applying torque, the axle box end cover is prone to rotation or sliding, and even tipping over when the force is unbalanced. It is not easy for personnel to fix it by relying on their own strength and needs to be assisted by an external tool for positioning. In addition, the grounding wire is fixed inside the hemispherical structure, and the grounding wire bolt is hidden inside the hemispherical shape, resulting in limited space for applying torque and increasing the difficulty of applying torque.

[0004] There is currently no special positioning tool for the axle box end cover of an EMU, and the adaptability of the existing external tool for auxiliary positioning is poor, resulting in inconvenient maintenance. Therefore, an auxiliary tool for applying torque to the grounding wire of the axle box end cover of an EMU is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides an auxiliary tool for applying torque to the grounding wire of the axle box end cover of an EMU, which can effectively position and fix the axle box end cover, facilitate the operator to apply torque to the grounding wire bolt, and solve the problem of poor adaptability of the existing external tool for auxiliary positioning, resulting in inconvenient maintenance.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary tool for applying torque to the grounding wire of the axle box end cover of an EMU, including a tooling base, an axle box end cover is placed on the top of the tooling base, three positioning blocks are evenly arranged on the outer side of the axle box end cover, a groove adapted to the size of the ear of the axle box end cover is opened on the upper side of the positioning block, brackets are arranged on the outer sides of the three positioning blocks, and fixing clamps are installed on the upper sides of the three brackets.

[0007] Furthermore, a hemispherical groove adapted to the axle box end cover is provided inside the tooling base, and the positioning block is fixedly installed on the top of the tooling base by bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket is in an L shape. One side of the bracket is connected to the outer wall of the positioning block by screws, and the other side of the bracket is connected to the base of the fixing fixture by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing fixture is a horizontal clamp, and the chuck of the fixing fixture cooperates with the upper end of the ear of the axle box end cover.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides an auxiliary tool for applying the tightening torque of the grounding wire of the axle box end cover of a multiple unit train, having the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. By using the tooling base, the positioning block and the fixing fixture in cooperation, the auxiliary tool for applying the tightening torque of the grounding wire of the axle box end cover of a multiple unit train can effectively position and fix the axle box end cover. Since the size of the groove of the positioning block is adapted to the ear of the axle box end cover, it can not only effectively position the axle box end cover, but also reduce the movement of the axle box, improve the positioning accuracy of the axle box end cover, facilitate the operator to apply the torque, and can effectively press the component from the upper end of the axle box end cover through the fixing fixture to fix the remaining single-degree-of-freedom, ensure the horizontal positioning of the axle box end cover, better adapt to the fixing of the axle box end cover, fill the blank in this field, and has strong practicability.

[0012] 2. The fixing fixture and the positioning block of the auxiliary tool for applying the tightening torque of the grounding wire of the axle box end cover of a multiple unit train are detachably installed through the bracket. When the fixing fixture is damaged after long-term use, it can be quickly replaced, and the maintenance is convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
