Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to engine fuel equipment maintenance technical field especially, relate to a kind of engine fuel regulator oil filter element assembly extractor. BACKGROUND

[0002] Large transport helicopters usually need to be equipped with multiple engines, and after a certain period of use, regular inspection and maintenance are required to ensure the reliability of the engine. The regular inspection and maintenance cycle is determined by the engine operating hours. When engine routine maintenance and fuel regulator fail, the fuel regulator oil filter element assembly needs to be disassembled for inspection. The fuel regulator oil filter is located on one side of the bottom of the engine, and the filter element assembly is sealed with an O-ring between the oil filter. There is a screw on the outside to fix it, and the filter element assembly is combined tightly with the oil filter. When disassembling, the fixing screw of the filter element assembly cannot be directly removed by hand. Since there is no special tool for disassembly, the existing method is to use a tool to push against the filter element assembly and rotate it to expose the screw hole, then use a wire to bundle the filter element assembly screw hole and pull it out. This method has the following disadvantages: (1) It is not easy to operate, and the filter element assembly is extremely inconvenient to disassemble. Due to the small space between the engine and the helicopter body after installation, especially when disassembling the filter element assembly of the first engine, visual operation is not possible, and only one-handed groping disassembly can be performed. After removing the filter element assembly fixing screw, use a tool to push against the filter element assembly fixing screw hole edge, when the screw hole is exposed, use a wire to pass through the screw hole, then pull the wire down to take out the filter element assembly. The disassembly operation is extremely inconvenient. (2) Low work efficiency, disassembly operation is uncontrollable. Since there is no special tool for disassembly, the worker relies solely on hand feeling, and disassembly cannot be visually observed, which often takes a long time. (3) High risk of personal safety and property loss. Since only a small diameter wire can be used (a large diameter wire cannot pass through the screw hole), the filter screen is easily damaged when pulling out the wire. When pulling, the operation is done in a small space, and since the force cannot be applied evenly, the worker's hand is easily injured when the filter element assembly suddenly comes out of the oil filter housing. Since the direction of the force does not match the installation direction of the filter element assembly, the filter screen is easily scratched when the filter element assembly suddenly comes out of the oil filter housing, causing the filter element assembly to be scrapped. Since this filter element assembly is not consumable, users generally do not have inventory. Once the filter element assembly is scrapped, the manufacturer often needs to provide spare parts, and during this period, the engine cannot be used normally, which seriously affects the availability of the helicopter. SUMMARY

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that:

[0013] (1) When the engine of a helicopter is subjected to a routine inspection or troubleshooting, etc., the oil regulator oil filter cartridge assembly needs to be disassembled for inspection and cleaning. Since there is no special tool for disassembly, the relative space between the engine and the helicopter body is small after the engine is installed, the filter cartridge assembly is inconvenient to disassemble, the filter cartridge assembly is tightly combined with the oil filter, and there is no force point, which causes the technical problems of difficult disassembly of the filter cartridge assembly and easy damage. The utility model provides a kind of special tool for disassembly, which is convenient, safe and reliable. The operator can quickly and stably fix the tool outside the filter cartridge, and can conveniently and quickly complete the oil filter cartridge disassembly work with one hand without visual inspection, which can greatly improve work efficiency, save manpower and material resources, and will not damage the filter cartridge assembly due to disassembly operation, affect engine use and cause property loss.

[0014] (2) The extractor of the utility model reliably connects the rotating head and the sleeve together through the connecting rod, the lower end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected with the limiting piece by penetrating the through hole in the top of the sleeve, and the sleeve can be adjusted at any angle relative to the connecting rod. The semicircular convex edge inside the opening at the lower end of the sleeve can be sleeved into the circular structure point on the filter cartridge, and will not fall off after tightening the connecting rod. Rotation makes the sleeve close to the filter cartridge and adjust the angle of the sleeve relative to the connecting rod to make the semicircular convex edge clamp the circular structure point on the filter cartridge, and the sleeve and the connecting rod are connected through the limiting piece. Thus, the sleeve fixed with the filter cartridge is lightly separated from the oil filter shell by rotating the rotating head to drive the sleeve. In the process of disassembling the oil filter cartridge, the filter cartridge assembly is stably fixed to the opening end of the sleeve of the extractor, which effectively avoids the damage of the filter screen caused by the scraping of the filter cartridge assembly and the oil filter shell, prevents the occurrence of the situation that the filter cartridge assembly is scrapped, avoids property loss, and has high economic value.

[0015] (3) Compared with the existing metal wire pulling and disassembling mode, the utility model has high safety factor when in use, and will not cause personnel injury and other adverse consequences. ACCURACY OF DRAWINGS
