Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of assembly lines, in particular to a tooling for press-fitting an idler wheel bracket. Background Art

[0002] During the assembly of a transmission assembly, due to tolerance fit during the bolt tightening process, the installation gap between components is too large, resulting in uneven pre-tightening force distribution and the problem that the stability of components cannot be guaranteed. Currently, in the production line assembly process, the direct bolt tightening method is adopted, and there is no relevant pressing tooling, which will lead to situations such as component skew during assembly on the production line. After the product enters the market, it may also cause troubles to customers. To reduce the risks brought by these factors, there is an urgent need for a high-precision assembly tooling on the production line that can achieve flexible press-fitting of relevant components to improve the stability of the whole box structure.

[0003] Currently, when assembling the idler wheel bracket assembly on an automated production line, the direct bolt tightening method is adopted. When installing the tapered bearing, axial pre-tightening is required. The interference amount of the gasket results in a large gap between the joint surface of the idler wheel bracket and the housing. At the same time, the distribution radii of the connecting bolts of the idler wheel bracket are different, resulting in a deviation between the actual pre-tightening force and the design.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a tooling for pressing an idler wheel bracket, including a limit plate 1 and a thrust pressing plate 7 on one side of the limit plate 1. Four groups of guide rods 11 are respectively installed in the inner walls of the limit plate 1 and the thrust pressing plate 7. A pressing rod 2 is installed inside the limit plate 1 on the inner side of the four groups of guide rods 11. A sleeve rod 3 is installed at the upper end of the pressing rod 2. A spring 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve rod 3. The lower end of the spring 6 tube is fixedly installed with the upper end of the pressing rod 2, and the upper end of the spring 6 is fixedly connected with the lower end of the thrust pressing plate 7;

[0030] Four groups of second round holes 9 are respectively opened on the outer walls of the thrust pressing plate 7 and the limit plate 1. The guide rods 11 are respectively located inside the second round holes 9, and the diameter of the cross section of the guide rod 11 is adapted to the diameter of the second round hole 9. A first round hole 8 is opened on the outer wall of the limit plate 1 located inside the four groups of second round holes 9. Four groups of third round holes 10 are opened on the outer wall of the thrust pressing plate 7, and the positions of the first round hole 8 and the third round hole 10 correspond to each other. The diameter of the first round hole 8 is larger than the diameter of the third round hole 10, and the diameter of the first round hole 8 is adapted to the diameter of the cross section of the pressing rod 2.

[0031] In the technical solution of the present utility model, by putting the lower end head of the guide rod 11 into the bolt hole of the idler wheel bracket, the thrust pressing plate 7 moves axially along the guide rod 11 to transfer the pressing force to the spring 6. The spring 6 generates elastic deformation to transfer the pressing force to the pressing rod 2 and the sleeve rod 3. The pressing rod 2 transfers the pressing force to the supporting surface of the idler wheel bracket. When the pressing force reaches the value required for preloading the tapered bearing, the bolt connection surface is in good contact. Then, the limit plate 1 and the guide rod 11 are lifted to release the space required for tightening the bolt. After the bolt is tightened, the pressing force on the thrust pressing plate 7 is released. On the basis of ensuring uniform distribution of the tightening force and no warping deformation of the idler wheel bracket, the sub-assembly is assembled, reducing the negative impact on the bolt connection caused by the interference or clearance generated by the tolerance fit of the components during the assembly of the assembly, and improving the stability of the assembly.

[0032] In addition, the opening of the second round hole 9 can play a role in slidingly installing the guide rod 11, and the third round hole 10 can facilitate the installation of the pressing rod 2.

[0033] In the technical solution of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a central disk 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the thrust pressure plate 7. The thrust pressure plate 7 can fix the central disk 14. The first round hole 8, the second round hole 9, and the third round hole 10 are evenly distributed around the central disk 14. The arrangement of the central disk 14 facilitates the even radiation of the first round hole 8, the second round hole 9, and the third round hole 10 on the periphery.

[0034] In the technical solution of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, a connecting rod 4 is inserted through the inner wall of the thrust pressure plate 7 located inside the third round hole 10. The connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the sleeve rod 3. One side of the connecting rod 4 away from the sleeve rod 3 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 5. The connecting rod 4 can fix the threaded rod 5 and the sleeve rod 3, thereby facilitating the pushing of the sleeve rod 3 and the connecting rod 4 in the pressure push plate. A locking nut 13 is threadedly installed on the outer wall of the threaded rod 5. Installing the locking nut 13 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 5 can install the pressure rod 2 and the thrust pressure plate 7.

[0035] In the technical solution of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, limit blocks 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper ends of multiple guide rods 11. The limit blocks 12 can limit the guide rods 11.

[0036] During use, first, the lower end head of the guide rod 11 can be placed into the bolt hole of the idler bracket. The thrust pressure plate 7 moves axially along the guide rod 11 to transfer the pressing force to the spring 6. The spring 6 undergoes elastic deformation to transfer the pressing force to the pressure rod 2, the sleeve rod 3, the connecting rod 4, and the threaded rod 5. The pressure rod 2 transfers the pressing force to the support surface of the idler bracket. When the pressing force reaches the value required for the preloading of the tapered bearing, the bolt connection surface is in good contact. Then, the limit plate 1 and the guide rod 11 are lifted to release the space required for tightening the bolt. After the bolt is tightened, the pressing force on the thrust pressure plate 7 is released. On the basis of ensuring the even distribution of the tightening force and no warping deformation of the idler bracket, the sub-assembly is assembled, reducing the negative impact on the bolt connection caused by the interference or clearance generated by the tolerance fit of the components during the assembly of the assembly, and improving the stability of the assembly.
