For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components; for those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , the present utility model provides a double-headed extractor for the magnetic plug of the oil sump of the 737NG aircraft engine, which includes an extractor handle 1 and a first extractor 2 and a second extractor 3 arranged at both ends of the extractor handle 1. The first extractor 2 is used to extract the corresponding first magnetic plug configuration 100, and the second extractor 3 is used to extract the corresponding second magnetic plug configuration 200. When used in actual working conditions, the first extractor 2 or the second extractor 3 can be selected according to the working needs to extract the corresponding magnetic plug.

[0035] The first extractor 2 includes a first extraction head 21, and a first pin slot 22 and a first opening slot 23 are arranged at intervals up and down on the end face of the first extraction head 21;

[0036] For the first pin slot 22, a first pin hole is arranged at the center of the top thereof, and a first pin 24 is movably installed in the first pin hole. The first pin 24 corresponds to the ear hole on the lug of the first magnetic plug configuration 100; a return spring is sleeved on the first pin 24. The upper end of the first pin 24 passes through the first pin hole and extends outside the first pin slot 22, and a cam handle 25 is hinged to the top of the first pin 24. When the cam handle 25 is pressed, under the action of cams with different radii on the cam handle 25, the first pin 24 is pulled up and the return spring is compressed.

[0037] The first opening slot 23 corresponds to the lug of the first magnetic plug configuration 100, so that the first opening slot 23 on the first extractor 2 can be inserted into the lug of the first magnetic plug configuration 100.

[0038] The working principle of the first extractor 2: When it is necessary to extract the first magnetic plug configuration 100 in actual working conditions, the maintenance personnel hold the extractor handle 1 of the double-headed extractor and press the cam handle 25 to pull up the first pin 24. At this time, align the first opening slot 23 and insert it into the lug of the first magnetic plug configuration 100. After releasing the cam handle 25, under the action of the return spring, the first pin 24 is reset and inserted into the ear hole on the lug of the first magnetic plug configuration 100, and the maintenance personnel can easily rotate and extract the first magnetic plug configuration 100. The installation process is the opposite.

[0039] The second extractor 3 includes a second extraction head 31. A second opening groove 32 is provided on the end face of the second extraction head 31, and a second wire groove 33 is vertically formed on the groove wall of the second opening groove 32. The second opening groove 32 corresponds to the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200, and the second wire groove 33 corresponds to the rigid cable 201 on the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200.

[0040] A locking assembly is provided on the side wall of the second opening groove 32.

[0041] The locking assembly includes a locking block 41 and a locking screw 42. The locking block 41 is laterally slidably arranged in the second opening groove 32. Sliders 411 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the locking block 41, and the sliders 411 cooperate with the sliding grooves formed on the inner wall of the second opening groove 32, so that the locking block 41 can laterally slide inside the second opening groove 32. The locking screw 42 passes through the screw hole formed on the side wall of the second opening groove 32 and is screwed onto the locking block 41, so that when the locking screw 42 is loosened or tightened, the locking block 41 will be driven to laterally slide inside the second opening groove 32.

[0042] Further, an anti-interference groove 412 is formed at the top of the locking block 41. The anti-interference groove 412 is used to avoid the interference of the rigid cable 201 on the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200 when the locking block 41 is locked.

[0043] Further, an adaptation groove 413 is recessed on the inner side surface of the locking block 41. The adaptation groove 413 is adapted to the side surface of the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200, so that when the locking screw 42 is tightened, the locking block 41 can be attached to the side surface of the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200.

[0044] Working principle of the second extractor 3: In actual working conditions, when it is necessary to extract the second magnetic plug configuration 200, the maintenance personnel first loosen the locking screw 42, so that the locking block 41 abuts against one side of the inner wall of the second opening groove 32, leaving enough space for the insertion of the second extractor 3 and the second magnetic plug configuration 200. Then, the maintenance personnel hold the extractor handle 1 of this double-headed extractor and align the second opening groove 32 with the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200 and insert it. At this time, the rigid cable 201 on the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200 is embedded in the second wire groove 33, and the locking block 41 is located on one side of the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200. After docking in place, the maintenance personnel tighten the locking screw 42. The locking screw 42 drives the locking block 41 to press against the lug of the second magnetic plug configuration 200, and also locks the second magnetic plug configuration 200 in the second opening groove 32 of the second extractor 3. The maintenance personnel can then easily rotate and extract the second magnetic plug configuration 200. The installation process is the opposite.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, a double-headed extractor for the oil sump magnetic plug of a 737NG aircraft engine in this case, where the first extractor is used to extract the corresponding first magnetic plug configuration and the second extractor is used to extract the corresponding second magnetic plug configuration, integrates the extractors for the two magnetic plug configurations on the 737NG aircraft, improving work efficiency.

[0046] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several variations and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
