Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a gear box installation tool, in particular to a hollow shaft and gear installation tool assembly. Background Art

[0002] Gearbox housings can be divided into integral housings and split housings. The hollow shaft and gear are installed in a gearbox with an integral housing. This type of gearbox is usually used in low-floor trams and has the following characteristics:

[0003] The low-floor gearbox lowers the vehicle's floor height, allowing passengers to easily board without having to climb steps, making it particularly suitable for people with limited mobility, such as the elderly and disabled. The low-floor design allows tracks to be laid directly on the road, eliminating the need for platform construction and reducing the cost of urban rail transit. The low-floor design not only provides convenience for passengers but also reduces vibration and noise during operation, enhancing the riding experience. Low-floor vehicles are suitable for use as feeder lines in large cities and trunk lines in medium-sized cities, offering high flexibility and adaptability. Their compact structure simplifies maintenance and overhaul, reducing maintenance costs.

[0004] The biggest differences between low-floor gearboxes and standard gearboxes lie in the housing and output structure. This gearbox is integral and cannot be disassembled, whereas standard gearboxes have separate upper and lower housings. Due to limited bogie space, this gearbox's output uses a hollow shaft, while standard gearboxes use a solid shaft. Using existing installation tools, the assembly of the gears and hollow shaft requires manual labor, placing significant strain on production workers and potentially causing long-term health problems.

[0005] The inner hole of the gear and the outer diameter of the shaft form a tapered interference fit, necessitating cold pressing for assembly. Using existing installation techniques results in low efficiency and precision, failing to meet design requirements. This prevents the gearbox from functioning properly and poses significant safety risks, potentially leading to vehicle accidents. Utility Model Content

[0059] A copper gasket is provided at the oil outlet 16 of the high-pressure oil channel on the gear mounting frame 2. The gear 1 and the gear mounting frame 2 are connected by bolts. When the bolts are tightened, the copper gasket is squeezed and deformed to prevent oil leakage.

[0060] The gear oil outlet is located on the inner hole of gear 1, and the hydraulic oil does not return to the oil tank but flows directly into the box.

[0061] The pressure trolley provides high-pressure oil, and the high pressure generated by the high-pressure oil can expand the inner hole of the gear.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ring on the gear mounting frame 2 is the lifting ring. Human power cannot lift the gear. Pass the lifting belt through the lifting ring and operate the crane to lift the gear 1.

[0063] The hollow shaft mounting frame includes: a screw 5 passing through the hollow shaft 6, with both ends of the screw 5 extending from the left end face and the right end face of the hollow shaft 6;

[0064] The left end of the lead screw is connected to the front push disc 7; a threaded hole is provided in the center of the front push disc 7;

[0075] A locking nut 11 is provided on the outer side of the right end surface of the hydraulic cylinder 10 , and the locking nut 11 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 5 .

[0076] The locking nut 11 is used to ensure that one end of the hydraulic cylinder is kept stationary when the hydraulic cylinder is pushed.

[0077] Preferably, the diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the lead screw 5 .

[0078] Preferably, the right end surface of the front pushing disc 7 is embedded in the left end surface of the hollow shaft.

[0079] Preferably, the front end of the left end surface of the stopping disc 9 is embedded in the right end surface of the rear stopping sleeve 8 .

[0080] The installation sequence of the hollow shaft and gear installation tooling assembly of the utility model is as follows:

[0081] 1. First use the gear mounting frame 2 to connect the gear 1. The gear mounting frame 2 and the gear 1 become one. Operate the crane to lift the gear mounting frame 2 and place the gear mounting frame 2 on the output end of the box to ensure that the inner hole of the gear is concentric with the mounting hole of the output shaft of the gear box.

[0082] Hydraulic oil is injected into the gear oil channel hole through the gear mounting bracket 2; it is used to increase the inner diameter of the gear 1 and facilitate the installation of the hollow shaft 6; at this time, the mounting hole of the output shaft of the gear box is concentric with the inner hole of the gear; the gear position is fixed;

[0083] The hollow shaft 6 is hoisted using the hollow shaft hoisting frame 13. The hollow shaft hoisting frame 13 only needs to be inserted into the inner hole of the hollow shaft 6, and the vertical portion of the hollow shaft hoisting frame 13 contacts the end of the hollow shaft 6. During the hoisting process, the hollow shaft hoisting frame 13 and the hollow shaft 6 are positioned in a fixed position. The hollow shaft hoisting frame 13 only serves the purpose of hoisting.

[0084] 2. Install the hollow shaft mounting bracket, insert the left end of the screw 5 from the mounting hole of the gear box output shaft on the right side of the gear box, and let the screw 5 pass through the hollow shaft 6. Place the front push disc 7 on the left side of the hollow shaft 6 and screw it into the center threaded hole of the front push disc 7. After the left end of the screw 5 is connected to the front push disc 7, install the rear stop sleeve 8, stop disc 9, hydraulic cylinder 10 and lock nut 11 in sequence.

[0085] 3. Insert the left end of the rear stop sleeve 8 from the mounting hole of the gear box output shaft on the right side of the gear box body, and the left end of the rear stop sleeve 8 contacts the right end face of the gear 1.

[0086] 4. Screw the locking nut 11 onto the screw 5, close to the right end face of the hydraulic cylinder 10.

[0087] 5. Hydraulic oil enters the oil channel of gear 1 through hydraulic pipe 12 and gear mounting frame 2; the inner hole of the gear expands under the action of hydraulic oil; start hydraulic cylinder 10. During the pushing process, the left side of hydraulic cylinder 10 does not move, and the right side of hydraulic cylinder 10 pushes locking nut 11. Locking nut 11 drives screw 5 to move to the right, and screw 5 drives front pushing disc 7 to move to the right. The front pushing disc 7 drives hollow shaft 6 to move to the right. When the right end face of left bearing 14 on hollow shaft 6 contacts the left end face of gear 1, hollow shaft 6 is subjected to reverse thrust and stops moving, and assembly is completed.

[0088] 6. Remove the hollow shaft mounting frame and gear mounting frame 2.

[0089] The mounting surface where the hollow shaft 6 contacts the gear 1 is a conical surface; during the installation process, hydraulic oil is injected into the hydraulic cylinder 10, and the hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the screw 5 to push the hollow shaft 6 to move. The hollow shaft 6 and the gear 1 are installed in place, and the oil injection into the gear oil inlet 3 is stopped; the oil injection into the hydraulic cylinder 10 is stopped; and the gear mounting frame 2 and the hollow shaft mounting frame are removed.

[0090] During the assembly process, the tooling will pull the shaft through the hydraulic cylinder for assembly positioning. During the assembly process, the position of gear 1 remains stationary, and the hollow shaft 6 is driven to move by the hydraulic cylinder 10, thereby realizing the assembly of the hollow shaft 6 and the gear 1.

[0091] The utility model discloses a hollow shaft and gear installation tool assembly, which has a simple structure and is easy to install, thereby improving installation efficiency, ensuring installation accuracy, reducing installation costs, improving gear box product quality, and ensuring safe operation of vehicles.

[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any formal limitation on the structure of the present invention. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
