[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0023] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" included in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an auxiliary tool for installing engine fan disc bolts includes: a tool body 2 with a first protrusion 1 protruding outwards, and a top block 3 mounted on the tool body 2 by an adjustment mechanism and movable close to the first protrusion 1. A clearance groove 4 is provided through the first protrusion 1, which is directly opposite the top block 3 and whose length direction is consistent with the moving direction of the top block 3.
[0025] In the above technical solution, when it is necessary to pass the bolt through the fan plate, the fan plate is brought into contact with the side of the first protrusion 1 near the top block 3, and the through hole on the fan plate is aligned with the clearance groove 4. The end of the bolt away from the head is aligned with the through hole on the fan plate. The top block 3 moves close to the first protrusion 1, and the top block 3 pushes the head of the bolt close to the first protrusion 1. The bolt will then pass through the through hole on the fan plate, and the end of the bolt away from the head will be inserted into the clearance groove 4, so that the bolt is assembled on the fan plate. Using this tool to install the bolt is convenient and labor-saving.
[0026] After the bolt is pushed into the fan plate, the top block 3 moves away from the first protrusion 1, and then the tool body 2 moves along the axis of the bolt, so that the first protrusion 1 separates from the fan plate, and the tool can be removed.
[0027] This auxiliary tool is not only used for bolt installation on the fan disc, but can also be applied to bolt assembly in other parts of the engine during maintenance, making it widely applicable.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tool body 2 has a second protrusion 5 that protrudes from the first protrusion 1. The adjustment mechanism includes a threaded rod 6 that is threaded through the second protrusion 5 and whose end near the first protrusion 1 is connected to the top block 3, and a handle that is connected to the end of the threaded rod 6 away from the first protrusion 1.
[0029] In the above technical solution, turning the handle can rotate the threaded rod 6, which can guide the top block 3 to move closer to or away from the first protrusion 1. When the top block 3 moves closer to the first protrusion 1, it can push the bolt into the through hole on the fan plate.
[0030] The threaded engagement of the threaded rod 6 allows for easier insertion of the bolt into the through hole on the fan plate.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the threaded rod 6 is connected to the top block 3 via a thrust ball bearing 7 arranged coaxially.
[0032] In the above technical solution, after the top block 3 comes into contact with the head of the bolt, the threaded rod 6 continues to rotate. The threaded rod 6 will not drive the top block 3 to rotate synchronously. This can prevent relative rotation between the top block 3 and the bolt, thus protecting both the bolt and the top block 3.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a tapered portion 8, coaxial with the threaded rod 6, is provided on the side of the top block 3 near the clearance groove 4.
[0034] In the above technical solution, when the head of the bolt has a polygonal groove, the conical part 8 can be inserted into the polygonal groove for positioning to prevent the bolt from shifting; and by directly inserting the conical part 8 into the through hole on the fan plate, the through hole on the fan plate can be simply enlarged, which helps the bolt to be inserted into the through hole on the fan plate.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tool body 2 is provided with a handle 9.
[0036] In the above technical solution, the handle 9 is easy for the operator to hold, thereby improving the control of the tool. When holding the handle 9, it is also easy for the operator to turn the handle.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the handle includes a grip 10 that slides through the end of the threaded rod 6 and whose length direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the threaded rod 6, and both ends of the grip 10 are fitted with limit members 11.
[0038] In the above technical solution, the function of the limiting member 11 is to prevent the grip 10 from slipping off the end of the threaded rod 6; the grip 10 can slide on the end of the threaded rod 6, and the position of the grip 10 can be adjusted to facilitate the operator to apply force to rotate the grip 10.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first protrusion 1 is provided with an inclined outer wall 12 on the side opposite to the top block 3, and the end of the clearance groove 4 away from the top block 3 is located on the inclined outer wall 12.
[0040] In the above technical solution, the inclined outer wall 12 can reduce the length of the clearance groove 4, making it easier for operators to observe the bolts passing through the fan disc.
[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0042] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
[0043] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
