Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw installation technology, specifically to an installation tool for ABS0336 screws. Background Technology
[0002] During scheduled maintenance of A320 series aircraft, the disassembly and reassembly of cargo hold vertical panels, ceiling panels, and parts of the fuselage fairings are involved to facilitate subsequent work. During the disassembly of the ABS0336 screw assembly, screws and washers frequently fall out, and lock washers are often missing. Furthermore, some newly replaced vertical panels, ceiling panels, and fuselage fairings do not come with suitable ABS0336 screws, requiring reinstallation of screws, washers, and lock washers. Currently, there is no dedicated installation tool for the ABS0336 screws.
[0003] The commonly used installation method is manual installation, which includes the following steps: (1) pre-inserting the screw (ABS0336) into the washer hole; (2) aligning the screw rod with the fastener hole and inserting it; (3) holding the screw head with the left hand to prevent the screw from falling out, and aligning the locking hole of the anti-loosening washer with the right hand and inserting it to complete the installation.
[0004] The manual mounting screws (ABS0336) have the following problems:
[0005] (1) The fastener holes are often larger than the screw diameter, causing the screw to wobble inside the hole. It is extremely difficult to keep the screw still during manual installation to install the anti-loosening washer, which affects the installation efficiency. Also, the screw and washer are easy to fall out of the fastener hole and be lost during installation.
[0006] (2) When installing screws, washers and anti-loosening washers, all three need to be kept in place at the same time. The screws and washers need to be held in place by fingers to prevent them from falling out when installing the anti-loosening washers. The center of the anti-loosening washers needs to be aligned with the screw head and pressure applied. Not only can the area of the liner plate not meet the installation requirements on both sides at the same time, but the installation efficiency is extremely low and the screws and washers are easy to fall out of the fastener holes and be lost.
[0007] (3) During the installation of anti-loosening washers, the washers need to be taken out of the aviation materials bag. The washers are thin and sharp. It is very difficult to separate them individually because the washers are stacked. The process of taking out aviation materials is cumbersome and it is easy to bring out excess washers and lose them.
[0008] (4) During installation, one end of the screw needs to be held up by hand, and the other end needs to be pressed by the anti-loosening washer. The screw head with a very small contact area and the anti-loosening washer with a sharp edge can easily cause hand injuries. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: an installation tool for ABS0336 screws, including a clamp 1. The clamp 1 includes a first part 101 and a second part 102 that are movably connected. The first part 101 and the second part 102 form a V-shape and are both made of high-strength alloy steel. The first part 101 is provided with a first end 4 at its end, and the second part 102 is provided with a second end 5 at its end.
[0033] The first part 101 and the second part 102 are arranged opposite to each other. Magnets are installed on the first end 4 and the second end 5. The first end 4 attracts the ABS0336 screw and the washer (ABS0208-02) through the magnet, and the second end 5 attracts the anti-loosening washer (ABS0338-01) through the magnet.
[0034] It should be noted that the positions of the first end 4 and the second end 5 need to be continuously adjusted and calibrated so that after the parts are attracted by the end magnets, no additional alignment is required, and the installation can be completed quickly and efficiently by pressing the finger pressure area after passing the screw through the fastener hole.
[0035] Optionally, the first part 101 and the second part 102 are hinged to the joint 2.
[0036] Optionally, a spring 3 is provided near the joint 2 between the first part 101 and the second part 102. The spring 3 serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents excessive force from being applied to the first part 101 and the second part 102 during use, thus preventing damage to parts or injury to personnel, providing elastic cushioning; secondly, it prevents the first part 101 and the second part 102 from opening and closing at a large angle due to external forces, which would otherwise be time-consuming and laborious to use. The spring 3 directly connects the first part 101 and the second part 102 to the most suitable angle for use, saving time and effort.
[0037] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the first end 4 includes a first body 401 and a first connecting part 402. The first body 401 and the first connecting part 402 are connected as one unit. A first magnet is embedded in the middle of the first body 401. The first part 101 is connected to the first connecting part 402.
[0038] like Figures 4-5As shown, the second end 5 includes a second body 501 and a second connecting part 502. The second body 501 and the second connecting part 502 are connected as one unit. A second magnet is embedded in the middle of the second body 501. The second part 102 is connected to the second connecting part 502.
[0039] Optionally, the upper surfaces of the first body 401 and the second body 501 form an angle of 30°-60°.
[0040] It should be noted that an angle is formed between the upper surfaces of the first body 401 and the second body 501. During use, as the first body 401 and the second body 501 approach each other, the angle gradually decreases until they become parallel.
[0041] Optionally, both the first body 401 and the second body 501 have circular cross-sections. The first body 401 has a first groove 403 in the middle, and the first magnet is installed in the first groove 403.
[0042] The second main body 501 has a fourth groove 504 in the middle, and the second magnet is installed in the fourth groove 504.
[0043] Optionally, both the first groove 403 and the fourth groove 504 are circular structures. The first groove 403 is concentrically arranged with the surface of the first body 401, and the fourth groove 504 is concentrically arranged with the surface of the second body 501.
[0044] Optionally, the top of the first groove 403 is connected to the top of the first body 401 by a ramp 404.
[0045] Optionally, the second body 501 is also provided with a circular third groove 503, the third groove 503 and the fourth groove 504 are concentrically arranged, and the fourth groove 504 is located at the bottom of the third groove 503.
[0046] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first connecting part 402 and the second connecting part 502 are also designed as cylindrical structures. A second groove 405 is concentrically provided on the first connecting part 402, and a fifth groove is concentrically provided on the second connecting part 502. The ends of the first part 101 and the second part 102 are bent relative to each other, with the bent parts slanting upwards. The bent parts of the first part 101 and the second part 102 are respectively inserted into the second groove 405 and the fifth groove. Because the first part 101 and the second part 102 are bent upwards at an angle, an angle can be formed between the upper surfaces of the first body 401 and the second body 501.
[0047] The tool is used as follows:
[0048] (1) Attach the screw (ABS0336) and the washer (ABS0208-02) to the first end, and attach the anti-loosening washer (ABS0338-01) to the second end on the other side.
[0049] (2) Insert the screw attached to the first end into the fastener hole, and place the second end on the other side of the board for installation.
[0050] (3) Apply pressure with your finger to the pressing area of the first and second parts. The installation is completed when the top lock of the screw is inserted into the center hole of the anti-loosening washer.
