[0002] With the rapid development of aviation equipment, vibration isolation devices are developing towards the direction of being light, small and lightweight, and bushing-type vibration isolators have been widely used. The bushing and the retaining plate of the bushing-type vibration isolator are two separate bodies, and the common connection forms include riveting, screwing, etc. The vibration isolator is often connected to the lug of the equipment to be vibration-damped as a finished product for delivery. If the riveting method is used to integrate the bushing and the retaining plate, other tools are needed to damage the riveting part of the bushing, and the disassembly difficulty is relatively large. There may be surface damage to the equipment during the disassembly process; if bolts and nuts are used to connect them into one body, when the product is installed on site, the bolts and nuts used for connecting and shaping the vibration isolator need to be removed before installation. At this time, the bolts and nuts for connecting and shaping are additional redundant objects, and the equipment needs to be inspected for redundant objects after installation, which increases the potential safety hazards during the equipment installation process.

[0037] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the implementation of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application.

[0038] This application provides a self-locking limit connection device for a bushing type vibration isolator, whose self-locking connection structure is simple, easy to implement, simple to install, unrestricted, and can achieve disassembly operations without damage and without the aid of external tools.

[0039] Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the self-locking limit connection device for a bushing type vibration isolator provided by this application includes a bushing 1, a retaining piece 2, a vibration damping pad 3 and a snap ring 4.

[0040] The bushing 1 includes a hollow main shaft 11 and a limit flange 12 located at one end of the hollow main shaft 11. On the outer surface of the non-limit flange side of the hollow main shaft 11, there is a main shaft ring groove 13, and at the edge position close to the main shaft ring groove 13, there is a step limit end face 14 with a diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the hollow main shaft 11. In the preferred embodiment of this application, at the end of the non-limit flange side of the main shaft ring groove 13, there is an inlet bevel end face 15 for the installation of the retaining piece 2.

[0041] The baffle 2 is a sheet-like circular ring structure, and its upper and lower end faces are flat. A baffle ring groove 21 is provided on the inner diameter of the baffle 2. In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the baffle ring groove 21 is a U-shaped groove, and the spindle ring groove 13 adapted thereto is a semi-circular groove. The depth of the U-shaped groove is greater than that of the semi-circular groove. The baffle 2 is installed on the non-limiting flange side of the bushing 1, and it is detachably connected to the bushing 1 by a snap ring 4 to form an integral body, so as to form a limiting space between the baffle 2 and the limiting flange 12. In some embodiments of the present application, the outer diameter dimension of the baffle 2 is equal to the outer diameter dimension of the limiting flange 12 and is greater than the mounting hole dimension of the mounting ear 5 of the equipment to be vibration-damped.

[0042] The vibration damping pad 3 is made of an elastic material with vibration damping function, such as rubber material or resin material, etc. It can be understood that the vibration damping pad 3 can also be an elastic material or component of other materials with the same effect, such as a compression spring.

[0043] There are usually two vibration damping pads 3, which are installed in the limiting space formed by the bushing 1 and the baffle 2, and the mounting ear 5 of the equipment to be vibration-damped is installed on the vibration damping pad 3 to achieve vibration damping.

[0044] The snap ring 4 is an open expansion ring. When the snap ring 4 is compressed radially inward, the outer diameter of the snap ring 4 decreases. The snap ring 4 is assembled in the baffle ring groove 21 of the baffle 2 to form a combined baffle with a self-locking function. The diameter of the snap ring 4 in the unloaded state is approximately the inner diameter dimension of the baffle 2.

[0045] The use process of the self-locking and limiting connection device of the bushing-type vibration isolator of the present application is as follows:

[0046] 1) First, compress the snap ring 4 and install it into the baffle ring groove 21 of the baffle 2 to form a combined baffle with a self-locking function. The hollow spindle 11 of the bushing 1 passes through the vibration damping pad 3, the mounting ear 5 of the equipment to be vibration-damped, the vibration damping pad 3 and the combined baffle from bottom to top in sequence, so that the inner ring surface of the snap ring 4 of the combined baffle aligns with the guiding inclined end face 15 of the bushing 1. After pressing down, the snap ring 4 expands outward along the baffle ring groove 21 of the baffle 2. When the lower plane of the baffle 2 contacts the step limiting end face 14 of the bushing 1, the baffle ring groove 21 of the baffle 2 and the spindle ring groove 13 of the bushing 1 form an integral annular ring. The snap ring 4 contracts radially inward and returns to its original state. At this time, the inner ring surface of the snap ring 4 is stuck in the spindle ring groove 13 of the bushing 1, and the outer ring surface of the snap ring 4 is stuck in the baffle ring groove 21 of the baffle 2. The baffle 2 and the bushing 1 are connected into an integral body, so that the vibration isolator is assembled with the mounting ear 5 of the equipment to be vibration-damped. The vibration damping pad 3 is installed in the concave circles on the upper and lower two surfaces of the mounting ear 5 of the equipment to be vibration-damped and is in close contact with the concave circles of the mounting ear 5 of the equipment to be vibration-damped. The lower plane of the baffle 2 is in close contact with the surface of the vibration damping pad 3. The mounting bolt used to lock the mounting ear 5 of the equipment to be vibration-damped is directly connected to the bearing structure through the inner circular hole of the hollow spindle 11 of the bushing 1. During the movement process, the vibration damping pad 3 can provide frictional damping, play a role in energy-consuming vibration damping, and at the same time play a supporting role.

[0047] 2) When disassembly is required, push the retaining piece 2 outwards. The lower part of the snap ring 4 is stressed, and the snap ring 4 expands radially outwards towards the retaining ring groove 21 of the retaining piece 2 until the inner ring surface of the snap ring 4 completely exits the main shaft ring groove 13 of the sleeve 1, and the retaining piece 2 is separated from the sleeve 1.

[0048] In this application, by using the expansion and contraction of the snap ring 4, complex operations are not required, the self-locking and limiting function between the retaining piece 2 and the sleeve 1 is achieved, and quick disassembly without damage can also be carried out, which is very convenient to use.

[0049] In this application, the setting position of the stepped limiting end face 14 on the sleeve 1 is set according to the actual height requirement, and the vibration damping pad 3 is pre-pressed and limited through the lower side plane of the retaining piece 2 to ensure the consistency of the vibration isolator performance.

[0050] The self-locking and limiting device of the sleeve-type vibration isolator in this application has a simple structure, is easy to implement, is quick and convenient to disassemble, is not affected by external factors, has a simple structure and principle for the self-locking and limiting function, is convenient to assemble, and is economical, safe and reliable. This device is suitable for the installation of vibration isolators or other connecting devices with the same effect that require integral connection and limiting of the sleeve structure but can still be disassembled at any time. This application effectively solves the need for limiting connection and consistent connection function of the sleeve-type vibration isolator. The vibration isolator self-locking and limiting connection device in this application adopts the design method of an expansion ring to achieve self-locking connection; adopts the structural form of a combination of a retaining ring groove and a main shaft ring groove to achieve simple and convenient installation and disassembly without limitation, and can be disassembled and assembled repeatedly for multiple times; uses the limiting end face of the sleeve to limit the assembly height of the vibration isolator, ensuring the consistency of the structure and vibration isolation and buffering performance of the vibration isolator.

[0051] This application has been successfully applied to the self-locking and limiting connection of vibration isolators in the fields of aviation, aerospace, electronics, ships, etc. The assembly man-hours are shortened by 1 / 3, and phenomena such as misassembly, missing assembly, and damage of the device are avoided, and remarkable effects are achieved in terms of use safety, reliability, and consistency.

[0052] The above is only the specific implementation manner of this application, but the protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
