Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of workpiece assembly, and more particularly to a hanger for a bolt tensioner. Background Art

[0002] When assembling the transmission chain of a wind turbine generator set, the connections between the main shaft and the hub, and between the main shaft and the bearing seat are usually fixed with bolts. To ensure the stability of the connection and the safety of the equipment, a bolt tensioner is usually required to apply a certain tightening torque after the bolts are installed to meet the assembly requirements.

[0003] The bolt tensioner uses pure tensile force to directly lengthen the bolt without torsional shear force or lateral force, and causes no friction damage to the contact surface of the connection. It is the best way to accurately control the bolt preload.

[0004] However, with the development of larger wind turbines, the size of turbine components has become larger, and the number of bolts required for connection has also increased. Hundreds of bolts are needed to complete the assembly of the turbine main shaft and hub. Using a tensioner to complete the tensioning of hundreds of bolts requires workers to hold the tensioner and handle hundreds of bolts, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Since the bolts of large wind turbines are large in size, the size of the tensioner used also needs to match, resulting in a larger weight of the tensioner. It often requires multiple workers to operate alternately to complete the tensioning operation of all bolts, increasing labor costs.

[0005] In summary, how to provide a sling that is convenient for supporting a stretcher is a problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

That is to say, by rotating the extension member 2 and the support member 1, the lifting member 3 can be adjusted to different angles around the support member 1, which is beneficial for workers to quickly adjust the position of the bolt tensioner according to the specific position of the bolt, and the height of the bolt tensioner can be adjusted under the action of the lifting member 3, further improving the convenience when operating the bolts. By adjusting the state of the device, all bolts on the workpiece can be stretched, reducing manpower while increasing the safety of workers operating on the wheel hub, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the unit, and there is no need for workers to hold the bolt tensioner continuously, and a single person can complete the stretching operation of the bolt, greatly reducing labor costs.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 In order to facilitate the rapid fixation of the device, in some embodiments, the support member 1 is a rod-shaped structure, and a connecting portion 101 is provided at the end of the support member 1 away from the extension member 2. The workpiece is preset with a connecting groove for connecting with the connecting portion 101 to achieve the fixation of the support member 1. That is to say, a connecting groove is first preset on the workpiece, and the support rod is inserted into the connecting groove to connect the device to the workpiece, so as to facilitate workers to operate the bolt tensioner, and at the same time facilitate the disassembly and transportation of the device for repeated use.

[0038] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting portion 101 and the connecting groove are detachably connected by screwing. Specifically, the connecting portion 101 is cylindrical and has threads on the outside, and the inner wall of the connecting groove is provided with threads that match the threads. The connecting portion 101 and the workpiece are fixed by the threads.

[0039] Optionally, in other embodiments, the connecting portion 101 and the connecting groove are detachably connected by interference fit. Specifically, the connecting portion 101 and the connecting groove adopt matching shapes, and the detachable connection between the device and the workpiece is achieved by plugging and pulling out the interference fit.

[0040] In addition, in this embodiment, in order to further improve the effect of interference fit, a rubber layer may be sleeved on the outside of the connecting portion 101, and a tight interference fit between the connecting portion 101 and the connecting groove is achieved through the elastic effect of the rubber layer.

[0041] Optionally, in other embodiments, the connecting part 101 and the connecting groove are detachably connected by magnetic adsorption. Specifically, a magnet is installed on the connecting part 101, or the connecting part 101 is made of magnetic material as a whole and inserted into the connecting groove, and an effective connection between the connecting part 101 and the workpiece is achieved under the action of the magnet.

[0042] Optionally, in order to facilitate the movement of the device, in other embodiments, a support plate is installed at the end of the support member 1 away from the extension member 2, and a plurality of running wheels are provided on the side of the support plate away from the support member 1. Specifically, a support plate is provided, and the support plate can be selected to a suitable size according to needs, and a counterweight block 301 is installed on the support plate. The device is kept stable by the counterweight block 301, and the device is conveniently moved by providing a plurality of running wheels on the side of the support plate away from the support member 1.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the extension member 2 includes a first section 201 and a second section 203, one end of the first section 201 is rotatably connected to the support member 1, and the other end of the first section 201 is equipped with a rotating shaft 202 arranged parallel to the support member 1, one end of the second section 203 is connected to the rotating shaft 202, and the lifting member 3 is installed at the other end of the second section 203. The distance between the lifting member 3 and the support member 1 is adjusted by rotating the first section 201 and the second section 203. That is to say, by adopting a two-section extension member 2, under the action of the rotating connection between the first section 201 and the second section 203, all bolt stretching operations can be performed within the fully extended range of the first section 201 and the second section 203, and the structure is simple and practical, and the cost is lower.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the utility model, a rotating shaft 202 is provided at the end of the first section 201 and is covered with a bearing, the inner ring of the bearing is connected to the rotating shaft 202, and then the end of the second section 203 is connected to the outer ring of the bearing, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the first section 201 and the second section 203.

[0045] Optionally, in other embodiments, the extension member 2 includes a first section 201 and a second section 203, and the first section 201 and the second section 203 are slidingly connected to each other. By adjusting the overlapping length of the first section 201 and the second section 203, the distance between the lifting member 3 and the support member 1 can be adjusted. Specifically, the extension member 2 adopts a two-section telescopic structure, and the purpose of adjusting the distance between the lifting member 3 and the support member 1 is achieved through the telescopic function of the first section 201 and the second section 203.

[0046] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first section 201 is sleeved on the outside of the second section 203 , and the overlapping length of the first section 201 and the second section 203 is adjusted by sliding between the first section 201 and the second section 203 , thereby adjusting the distance between the lifting member 3 and the support member 1 .

[0047] Optionally, in addition to adopting structures such as a hoist, in other embodiments, the lifting member 3 can adopt an elastic member with an elastic structure. Through its elastic effect, when a worker holds the bolt tensioner and moves it, it can move smoothly. At the same time, it can provide the worker with a certain auxiliary force, reducing the force used by the worker, which is conducive to reducing work intensity.

[0048] Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, in other embodiments, the lifting member 3 includes a fixed pulley 303 rotatably mounted at the end of the second section 203, a connecting rope 302 is wound around the fixed pulley 303, one end of the connecting rope 302 is connected to the bolt tensioner, and the other end of the connecting rope 302 is connected to the counterweight 301, that is, through the action of the fixed pulley 303, a connecting rope 302 is wound around the fixed pulley 303, one end of the connecting rope 302 is connected to the bolt tensioner, when the bolt tensioner is pulled, the counterweight 301 follows and rises, realizing the movement of the bolt tensioner, and at the same time the counterweight 301 offsets the weight of the bolt tensioner, which can provide workers with a certain amount of auxiliary force, reduce the strength used by workers, and help reduce work intensity.

[0049] It should be noted that the counterweight block 301 in the embodiment of the present invention is a detachable counterweight block 301, that is, it is composed of multiple counterweight blocks 301. By disassembling the counterweight block 301, it is convenient to adjust the weight of the counterweight block 301 according to the weight of different bolt tensioners.

[0050] Optionally, in other embodiments, the lifting member 3 includes a rotating wheel, a connecting rope 302 is wound around the rotating wheel, and one end of the connecting rope 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating wheel. A torsion spring is installed on the rotating wheel to drive the rotating wheel to rotate in the direction of tightening the connecting rope 302. Through the action of the torsion spring, when a certain pulling force is generated on the bolt tensioner, a certain auxiliary force can be given to the worker, reducing the strength used by the worker, which is conducive to reducing work intensity.

[0051] That is to say, the focus of the embodiment of the present invention is: first assemble the support member 1, the extension member 2 and the lifting member 3, that is, the extension member 2 is rotatably connected to the support member 1, and can rotate along the circumference of the support member 1, and the lifting member 3 is installed on the extension member 2, and is used to control the distance between the bolt tensioner and the extension member 2, that is, through the rotation of the extension member 2 and the support member 1, the lifting member 3 is adjusted to different angles around the support member 1, which is beneficial for workers to quickly adjust the position of the bolt tensioner according to the specific position of the bolt, and the height of the bolt tensioner can be adjusted under the action of the lifting member 3, further improving the convenience of operating the bolts, and by adjusting the state of the device, all bolts on the workpiece can be stretched, reducing manpower while increasing the safety of workers operating on the wheel hub, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the unit, and there is no need for workers to hold the bolt tensioner continuously, and a single person can complete the stretching operation of the bolt, greatly reducing labor costs.

[0052] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
