Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bolt torque measurement, and particularly relates to a device for measuring the torque of key bolts tightened in a turntable of a product with limited space. Background Art
[0002] Currently, turntables have a compact structure and limited assembly space, making it impossible to adjust the structure to meet assembly requirements. Operators are unable to tighten and measure the torque of key bolts (critical components and key connections) on the turntable using standard tools and other technical means. Consequently, they are forced to have small operators "drill" into the narrow space and use hand tools to tighten each bolt one by one. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and labor-intensive. This is especially true for turntables, which come in straight or tilted styles. The latter is even more difficult to operate, and can only achieve tightening without effectively measuring torque. Because the turntable structure involves high-altitude operations, if the bolts in this area do not meet the torque requirements, there is a risk of loosening, resulting in casualties.
[0003] After the turntable is hoisted into place, the process requires tightening the 20 M16 bolts on the flange and measuring the torque (215N·m). However, the turntable structure is relatively closed, and the tightening bolts are located inside the turntable, with a small space (approximately 348-365mm). A torque wrench (typically 500mm long) cannot be used directly. Furthermore, hand tools are not available for the inclined turntable structure (there is only 22.5mm of space and no vertical working space). The operation needs to be extended to the center of the turntable or above. Currently, small operators are required to "drill" into the barrel and tighten each bolt one by one with a manual wrench, which is labor-intensive and cannot effectively monitor the torque value. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model provides a device for measuring the torque of key bolts tightened in a turntable of a product with limited space, which solves the above problems.
[0005] The technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:
[0006] A device for measuring torque of key bolts tightened in a turntable of a space-constrained product, comprising a measuring seat, wherein the outer end of the measuring seat is provided with three U-shaped holes at intervals, and the three U-shaped holes are distributed in an isosceles triangle. The measuring seat is rotatably connected to a driving shaft, several transmission shafts and a driven shaft, the outside of the driving shaft is provided with a shaft key, the outside of each transmission shaft is installed with a driving spur gear, the outside of the driven shaft is installed with a driven spur gear, several of the driving spur gears are meshed with each other, the shaft key of the driving shaft is meshed with the adjacent driving spur gear, and the driven spur gear is meshed with the adjacent driving spur gear, the upper end of the driving shaft is installed with an extended connecting rod, the lower end of the driven shaft is installed with a sleeve A, the inner side of the sleeve A is provided with a thread, the three U-shaped holes are used to clamp the bolts on the positioning flange, and the sleeve A is used to tighten and tighten the bolts on the flange.
[0007] Through the above technical solution, the three U-shaped holes are responsible for limiting and fixing the three bolts on the flange, and sleeve A is responsible for tightening the bolts, which improves the stability of the measuring seat during the tightening process and prevents displacement of the measuring seat. The extended connecting rod cooperates with the driving shaft, several transmission shafts, and the driven shaft to extend and amplify the tightening space for the bolts on the flange. The tightening force of the bolts is transmitted externally through multiple gears, so that the bolts on the flange can be tightened one by one by simply rotating the extended connecting rod, without being restricted by the limited space. This solves the problem of the flange in the turntable structure being inconvenient to tighten due to the limited space.
[0008] Optionally, the measuring seat includes an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate, the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are arranged parallel to each other in an upper and lower direction, and the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are both T-shaped, the two ends of the head of the T-shape of the lower cover plate are fixedly connected to the first leg and the second leg, respectively, and the tail of the T-shape of the lower cover plate is fixedly connected to the third leg, and the bottom of the first leg, the bottom of the second leg and the bottom of the third leg are all provided with the U-shaped hole.
[0009] Optionally, the first leg, the second leg and the third leg are all L-shaped, and the upper end of the first leg, the upper end of the second leg and the upper end of the third leg are all fixedly connected to the lower cover plate.
[0010] Optionally, an upper convex plate is provided in the middle of the T-shaped head of the upper cover plate, and a lower convex plate is provided in the middle of the T-shaped head of the lower cover plate, and the driven shaft is rotatably connected between the upper convex plate and the lower convex plate.
[0011] Optionally, the sleeve A is located below the lower cover plate, and the center of the driving shaft, the centers of the plurality of transmission shafts, and the center of the driven shaft are located on the same straight line and coincide with the axis of the upper cover plate and the axis of the lower cover plate.
[0012] Optionally, the center of the sleeve A and the centers of the three U-shaped holes are all located on the outer circumference of the same circle.
[0013] Optionally, a sleeve B is installed on the upper end of the driving shaft, the lower end of the extended connecting rod is inserted into the sleeve B, the inner side wall of the sleeve B is provided with a thread, and the lower end of the extended connecting rod is threadedly connected to the sleeve B.
[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0015] The device in the utility model is designed by utilizing the principle of multiple sets of gear meshing to transmit tightening torque, that is, the force point and the operating point are separated, the bolts to be tightened are still on the pitch circle, and the tightening force point is extended to above the center of the pitch circle through a four-stage gear transmission (assisted by a light deep groove ball bearing, which is labor-saving and efficient). Combined with the reaction rod effect generated by its own legs and nearby bolts, the force application point is extended to the top of the rotating drum through an extended connecting rod, which solves the "confinement" of the turntable cylinder and realizes the assembly process requirements. The torque can be measured while tightening the bolts, providing sufficient assembly space for the operator.
[0016] The device in the utility model fully utilizes the characteristics of gear meshing and reliable force transmission, and adjusts the working position according to the current situation where space is limited and the design structure cannot be adjusted. One device solves three difficult points, namely: the space is limited and fast tools such as electric or pneumatic cannot be used, the manual labor intensity of using a manual wrench is high, the torque cannot be determined by a torque wrench, and there are safety hazards in torque measurement. In addition, the cost investment is low, which effectively solves the technical difficulties and safety hazards of the turntable being limited by the structural space for a long time and not meeting the assembly process.
