Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bolt fastening equipment, specifically a hydraulic tensioner that can monitor the bolt tension. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of tightening high-strength bolts, the preload is usually controlled by the tensioning method, which typically requires the use of a hydraulic tensioning device. This device applies a certain axial force to the bolt, and after tightening the nut, the expected preload can be obtained by removing the external force. However, when there are dust, paint, metal or other particles on the machine body surface or gasket, these particles will affect the fit between the nut and the tightened surface, causing the bolt elongation to be less than the theoretical elongation, resulting in false tension, which reduces the reliability of bolt tightening.

[0003] A patent application with publication number CN202045491U discloses a hydraulic tensioner for monitoring bolt tension, including a support ring, a hollow cylinder, a nut collar, and a dial indicator. The support ring is located on the upper part of the hollow cylinder, and the dial indicator is located on the support ring. The nut collar is located on the lower part of the hollow cylinder.

[0004] The above solution still has some problems in practical application. When there are foreign objects on the surface of the machine body or the gasket, the nut will not fit well with the fastened surface, resulting in false tension. This will reduce the preload of the bolt and affect the reliability of the bolt fastening.

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a hydraulic tensioner for monitoring bolt tension includes a cable tray 1, a sleeve 2 inside the cable tray 1, and a hollow oil cylinder 3 on the upper part of the cable tray 1.

[0025] The hollow cylinder 3 is equipped with a tension piston 6 inside. A return spring 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the tension piston 6. A cover plate 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the return spring 5. A puller 8 is installed inside the cover plate 17. A support frame 16 is installed on the outside of the hollow cylinder 3. A high-pressure oil pipe 10 is movably connected inside the support frame 16. A hydraulic pump device 12 is installed on one side of the high-pressure oil pipe 10. A pressure sensor 13 is installed inside the hydraulic pump device 12. A hydraulic pull rod 15 is installed inside the pressure sensor 13. A pressure gauge 14 is installed on the upper surface of the hydraulic pump device 12.

[0026] Specifically, a sleeve 2 is movably installed inside the cable tray 1. Several holes are provided on the outer side of the sleeve 2 to facilitate adjustment. A retaining ring 11 is installed between the sleeve 2 and the hollow cylinder 3, serving as a buffer and isolator. The hollow cylinder 3 has a hollow design, allowing hydraulic fluid to be input into the hollow space via the hydraulic pump 12. This causes the tension piston 6, which is movably installed inside the hollow cylinder 3, to stretch upwards with the amount of hydraulic fluid input. A return spring 5 is installed on the tension piston 6, and a cover plate 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the return spring 5. The cover plate 17... Several locating pins 4 are threadedly connected to the upper part of the hollow cylinder 3. The cover plate 17 serves as a limit. The outer side of the cover plate 17 is movably mounted with a lifting strap 9 via a fixed block, facilitating the operator's movement of the device. The puller 8 has a threaded internal structure. When the oil flows back, the return spring 5 returns the tension piston 6 to a fixed position. In actual use, the sleeve 2 is installed on the bridge frame 1, with the sleeve 2 in contact with the nut 20 and the puller 8 in threaded contact with the bolt 19. The hollow cylinder 3 is mounted on the bridge frame 1 via a retaining ring 11. The support frame 16 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the bridge frame 1 via screws 7. The support frame 16 has an oil inlet and a high-pressure oil pipe 10. When the oil supply port is connected, the operator pulls the hydraulic lever 15. The reciprocating motion of the hydraulic lever 15 generates a pulling force, which is transmitted to the pressure sensor 13. The pressure sensor 13 then transmits the pulling force to the hydraulic pump device 12. The pressure gauge 14 needs to be zeroed before use. The pressure gauge 14 monitors the pressure output by the hydraulic pump device 12. The operator observes the reading on the pressure gauge 14. Oil is then transported through the high-pressure oil pipe 10 to the hollow cylinder 3. Under pressure, the stretching piston 6 in the hollow cylinder 3 moves upward, causing the nut 20 to move upward. The nut 20 is threadedly connected to the bolt 19, thus stretching the bolt 19. This device monitors the bolt 19... The final tension of bolt 19 can prevent false tension, thus ensuring the reliability of bolt 19 fastening. The structure is simple and compact, easy to use, and has a high cost performance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The precise control of bolt 19 tension by this device can ensure the reliability of bolt 19 connection, avoiding problems such as loosening and fatigue damage caused by insufficient or excessive tension, thereby improving the overall quality and safety of the equipment. By accurately controlling the bolt 19 tension, the number of equipment failures and repairs caused by bolt 19 connection problems is reduced, thereby reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and improving production efficiency.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the cover plate 17 has several locating pins 4 internally threaded, and a lifting strap 9 is provided on the outer side of the cover plate 17. The lifting strap 9 is movably installed on the cover plate 17 through a fixing block.

[0028] Specifically, the cover plate 17 is threadedly connected to the hollow oil cylinder 3 by several positioning pins 4. A lifting strap 9 is provided on the outer side of the cover plate 17. The lifting strap 9 is movably installed on the cover plate 17 by a fixing block, which facilitates the operator to move the device freely.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 16 is provided with a number of screws 7, which are threaded onto the outer wall of the cable tray 1.

[0030] Specifically, the support frame 16 is provided with several screws 7, which are threaded onto the outer wall of the bridge frame 1, so as to facilitate disassembly and replacement when the high-pressure oil pipe 10 is blocked.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a retaining ring 11 is provided between the sleeve 2 and the hollow oil cylinder 3.

[0032] Specifically, a retaining ring 11 is provided between the sleeve 2 and the hollow oil cylinder 3. The retaining ring 11 serves to isolate and buffer the sleeve 2 and the hollow oil cylinder 3.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a bolt 19 is provided inside the sleeve 2, and a nut 20 is provided on the outside of the bolt 19.

[0034] Specifically, a bolt 19 is provided inside the sleeve 2, and a nut 20 is provided on the outside of the bolt 19. The sleeve 2 contacts the bolt 19, and the puller 8 contacts the bolt 19.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the comparative embodiment one, another embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the hydraulic pump device 12 is provided with an oil storage tank inside, and the high-pressure oil pipe 10 is provided with an oil sealing port on the outside.

[0037] Specifically, the hydraulic pump device 12 has an oil storage tank inside, and the high-pressure oil pipe 10 has an oil sealing port on the outside. When the work is finished, the output oil flows back into the oil storage tank. After the high-pressure oil pipe 10 is pulled out, the oil sealing port seals the high-pressure oil pipe 10 to prevent dust contamination.

[0038] Working principle: A sleeve 2 is movable inside the cable tray 1. Several holes are provided on the outer side of the sleeve 2 to facilitate adjustment. A retaining ring 11 is provided between the sleeve 2 and the hollow cylinder 3, acting as a buffer and isolator. The hollow cylinder 3 has a hollow design, allowing hydraulic fluid to be input into the hollow space through the hydraulic pump 12. This causes the tension piston 6, which is movable inside the hollow cylinder 3, to stretch upwards with the amount of hydraulic fluid input. A return spring 5 is provided on the tension piston 6, and a cover plate 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the return spring 5. The cover plate 17... Several locating pins 4 are threadedly connected to the upper part of the hollow cylinder 3. The cover plate 17 serves as a limit. The outer side of the cover plate 17 is movably mounted with a lifting strap 9 via a fixed block, facilitating the operator's movement of the device. The puller 8 has a threaded internal structure. When the oil flows back, the return spring 5 returns the tension piston 6 to a fixed position. In actual use, the sleeve 2 is installed on the bridge frame 1, with the sleeve 2 in contact with the nut 20 and the puller 8 in threaded contact with the bolt 19. The hollow cylinder 3 is mounted on the bridge frame 1 via a retaining ring 11. The support frame 16 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the bridge frame 1 via screws 7. The support frame 16 has an oil inlet and a high-pressure oil pipe 10. When the oil supply port is connected, the operator pulls the hydraulic lever 15. The reciprocating motion of the hydraulic lever 15 generates a pulling force, which is transmitted to the pressure sensor 13. The pressure sensor 13 then transmits the pulling force to the hydraulic pump device 12. The pressure gauge 14 needs to be zeroed before use. The pressure gauge 14 monitors the pressure output by the hydraulic pump device 12. The operator observes the reading on the pressure gauge 14. Oil is then transported through the high-pressure oil pipe 10 to the hollow cylinder 3. Under pressure, the stretching piston 6 in the hollow cylinder 3 moves upward, causing the nut 20 to move upward. The nut 20 is threadedly connected to the bolt 19, thus stretching the bolt 19. This device monitors the bolt 19... The final tension of bolt 19 can prevent false tension, thus ensuring the reliability of bolt 19 fastening. The structure is simple and compact, easy to use, and has a high cost performance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The precise control of bolt 19 tension by this device can ensure the reliability of bolt 19 connection, avoiding problems such as loosening and fatigue damage caused by insufficient or excessive tension, thereby improving the overall quality and safety of the equipment. By accurately controlling the bolt 19 tension, the number of equipment failures and repairs caused by bolt 19 connection problems is reduced, thereby reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and improving production efficiency.
