Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical maintenance equipment, in particular to a universal wrench for disassembling and assembling locking nuts. Background Art

[0002] The lock nut is a key component in the rotor fixing structure of a vacuum pump. Its main function is to ensure the stability of the rotor during high-speed operation and prevent longitudinal movement. However, the existing lock nut structure has some problems during the disassembly and assembly process.

[0003] First, due to the lack of professional wrenches, operators often need to use knocking to remove the locking nuts, which not only easily causes damage to the nuts, such as surface damage, but also may cause burrs inside the pump body. These burrs fall off during the operation of the pump, which may cause oil pollution and increase equipment wear, thereby affecting the normal operation and service life of the pump. Secondly, frequent knocking and disassembly will shorten the service life of the locking nuts and increase the replacement frequency, which not only increases the cost of use, but also increases the maintenance workload.

[0004] In addition, during our company's actual participation in the fault repair of ZJL400 / 600 Roots vacuum pumps, we also found that there are two different structures of locking nuts: "locking nuts with four slots" and "locking nuts with double planes". According to the conventional disassembly method, multiple tools are required to complete the disassembly operation, which is not convenient.

[0028] The clamping claw 6 includes a first block 61 , one end of which is connected to the adjustment control, the other end of which is located outside the mounting shell 5 , and a second block 62 is provided outside the other end of the first block 61 .

[0029] Among them, regarding the structural design between the handle 2, the rotating wheel 3 and the clamping part 4:

[0030] The extended setting of the handle 2 makes the operation more convenient for the operator and reduces the difficulty of operation. In addition, the engagement and release of the rotating wheel 3 and the clamping member 4 enable the spacer 1 to stably realize unidirectional rotation.

[0031] As for the structural design of the pressing claw 6 and the adjustment control 7:

[0032] When the locking claw 6 is pressed against the locking nut, the locking nut can be removed or tightened by reciprocating the handle 2 in the forward and reverse directions.

[0033] The first and second retaining blocks 61 and 62 are designed to fit the slots and surfaces of different locking nuts for tightening operations, so that the device can adapt to different installation and fixing requirements.

[0034] Preferably, the rotating wheel member 3 includes a retaining spring 31 and a ratchet 32, and the spacer sleeve 1 includes an inner cavity 7 for installing the ratchet 32, the size and shape of the inner cavity 7 match the outer diameter of the ratchet 32, a retaining groove 33 is provided on the outside of the ratchet 32, and a receiving groove 34 is provided on the inner cavity 7 of the spacer sleeve 1, and the retaining spring 31 is sleeved outside the retaining groove 33 and located in the receiving groove 34.

[0035] The inner cavity 7 of the spacer 1 provides space for installing the ratchet 32, and provides space for installing the retaining spring 31 through the receiving groove 34 and the retaining groove 33 outside the ratchet 32. The inner cavity 7 of the spacer 1 matches the outer diameter of the ratchet 32 ​​to ensure the stable installation of the ratchet. The retaining spring 31 provides elastic force, so that the ratchet 32 ​​can be maintained in its installed position and rotated within the spacer 1.

[0036] The combination of the retaining spring 31 and the ratchet 32 ​​has a more compact structure, which saves space. It also simplifies the installation and removal of the ratchet 32, reducing maintenance workload and time.

[0037] Preferably, the clamping member 4 includes a first pawl 41, a spring 42 and a sealing plate 43, a vertical shaft 44 is provided in the spring 42, and the two ends of the vertical shaft 44 are respectively fixed with a sealing plate 43 and a first pawl 41, and the two ends of the spring 42 are respectively connected to the first pawl 41 and the sealing plate 43, the other end of the first pawl 41 is engaged with the ratchet 32, and the sealing plate 43 is fixed on the spacer sleeve 1.

[0038] The spacer 1 includes a hollow vertical cylinder 45 that is connected to the inner cavity 7 . The first pawl 41 , the vertical shaft 44 and the spring 42 are all arranged in the vertical cylinder 45 . The sealing plate 43 is fixedly connected to the end of the vertical cylinder 45 .

[0039] Through the combination of the first pawl 41, the spring 42 and the sealing plate 43, the entire structure is compact and saves space. The meshing design of the first pawl 41 and the ratchet 32 ​​allows the spacer 1 to achieve unidirectional rotation, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of operation. The setting of the spring 42 and the sealing plate 43 also provides the necessary elastic force and locking function, ensuring that the spacer 1 can be safely fixed and released when needed.

[0040] In addition to the above-described ratchet motion scheme, another ratchet motion scheme is now provided, as follows:

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping member 4 includes a second pawl 46 , a receiving cavity 8 is provided in the spacer 1 , a second pawl 46 engaged with the ratchet 32 ​​is provided in the receiving cavity 8 , and a torsion spring 47 is provided between the second pawl 46 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 8 .

[0042] By using the torsion spring 47 instead, the necessary elastic force can be provided to the second pawl 46, ensuring that the ratchet 32 ​​can be reliably locked in the required position during operation, making the entire structure of the clamping member 4 more compact, saving space, and improving the integration of mechanical components.

[0043] Preferably, the adjustment control 7 includes an adjusting bolt 71 and a cover plate 72. The mounting shell 5 is provided with a receiving groove 73 and a cover plate 72 covering the receiving groove 73.

The protruding end of the convex block is threadedly connected to the adjusting bolt 71. The horizontal end of the convex block is located outside the opening. A second stop 62 is provided outside the horizontal end of the convex block.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, there is a distance between the lower plane of the second block 62 and the lower plane of the first block 61, which is mainly designed to adapt to the different slots of different locking nuts to avoid the situation where they cannot be tightened due to being on the same plane.

[0046] The structural integration of the adjusting bolt 71, the receiving groove 73, the cover plate 72 and the adjusting button 74 provides the functions of adjustment and sealing, and the more intuitive adjustment method makes the operation more convenient.

[0047] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0048] When removing or tightening the locking nut, according to the slot characteristics of the locking nut, select the first block 61 or the second block 62 to correspond to the slot, operate the rotary adjustment button 74, and under the rotation of the adjusting bolt 71, drive the first block 61 and the second block 62 to approach the slot of the locking nut and tighten it to complete the tightening operation, and then rotate the handle back and forth in the forward and reverse directions, with the cooperation of the first pawl 41 or the second pawl 46 to reverse and transmit torque to the ratchet 32, the locking nut can be removed or tightened.
