Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of aviation manufacturing technology / aircraft fuselage structure assembly, and relates to a reverse nail pressing device. A reverse nail pressing device for installing interference-fit Hi-Lok bolts in narrow spaces during the aircraft structure assembly stage. Background Art
[0002] Most critical structural parts of aircraft are connected by Hi-Lok bolts. The Hi-Lok bolt uses the interference fit caused by the interference amount of the bolt and the nut and the combined effect of a relatively high pre-tightening force to improve the fatigue strength of the product structure. The installation process of Hi-Lok bolts is: pre-assembly of parts → hole making → chamfering or rounding → disassembly → deburring → cleaning → re-fixing → preparation of fasteners → installation → painting (generally no setting force is required, and for double hexagon Hi-Lok nuts, they can be tightened again with setting force as needed after installation).
[0003] When installing Hi-Lok bolts in relatively open parts of the structure, the hammering force of the riveting gun punch can be used on the copper rod to drive the Hi-Lok bolt along the hole axis direction, and then subsequent installation work can be carried out.
[0004] However, during the aircraft structure assembly process, there are often parts restricted by assembly characteristics such as product structure and construction space. It is very difficult to drive the Hi-Lok bolts in by relying on the impact force of the riveting gun and hammer. If the operation is slightly improper, it is easy to damage the surface of the parts of the product structure and the head of the Hi-Lok bolt, directly causing defects in the quality of the aircraft product and multiple rework and troubleshooting, and not meeting the installation technical requirements of Hi-Lok bolts. In order to ensure high-quality and high-efficiency connection of Hi-Lok bolts in the aircraft structure, this set of reverse nail pressing device is invented. This device is convenient and fast to use, can not only greatly improve the installation efficiency of Hi-Lok bolts, but also ensure the installation quality of Hi-Lok bolts.

[0020] The reverse press stud device for aircraft structure assembly is characterized in that the device of the present utility model is divided into five parts: a is the main body part of the reverse press stud device for aircraft structure assembly, and the main body part is a U-shaped metal body, which is the main body part of the device; b is the pressing block, and the pressing block is a conical metal body, which is used for pressing and guiding the bolt; c is the stop rod, and the stop rod is a linear metal body, which is used for guiding the pressing block; d is the force transmission screw, and the force transmission screw is a threaded metal body, and the pressing block presses the bolt into the bolt hole through threaded locking; e is the rotating rod, and the rotating rod is a linear metal body, which is used for the tightening operation of the force transmission screw. The main body part a mainly bears the main force transmission part of the device, and the reaction A surface on this part is used to press against the head of the high-lock bolt. The pressing block part b mainly fits with the surface of the part through the acting surface B, and ensures that the threaded part of the high-lock bolt extends into the hole of the pressing block. The stop rod part c is connected with the pressing block b by interference fit, and the other end leans against the main body part a to ensure that the pressing block b does not rotate with the screw d during work, preventing the pressing block b from rotating and scratching the surface of the part. The screw part d uses trapezoidal threads with large force transmission. The screw part passes through the threaded hole of the main body part a to play a role in force transmission. One end of it is made into a ball head shape and inserted into the spherical socket of the pressing block b, and is connected by the processing method of necking to ensure that the ball head part of the screw does not fall off and can rotate flexibly in the spherical socket of the pressing block.

Rotate the e rotating rod clockwise to make the acting surface B of the b pressing block fit with the surface of the part, and at the same time limit the c shift lever on the a main body.
[0027] ④ Apply force evenly and rotate the e rotating rod clockwise to make the Hi-Lok bolt rod enter the bolt hole evenly until the head of the Hi-Lok bolt fits with the surface of the part.
[0028] ⑤ Rotate the e rotating rod counterclockwise to remove the reverse press stud, and complete the press stud step.
[0029] ⑥ Screw the Hi-Lok nut onto the thread of the Hi-Lok bolt (generally screw on two threads), pre-tighten the Hi-Lok bolt with a ratchet wrench or a special pneumatic wrench.
