Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aero-engine assembly tool, especially to a fastening tool for a turboprop engine rotor fastener. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rotor assembly of an aero-engine generates very large vibration and axial force during rotation, so the locking requirement of the fastener thereon is very high, and once the fastener is loosened during the rotation of the engine, the safety of the engine and even the aircraft will be seriously threatened, so during the assembly of the aero-engine, the fastener on the rotor often needs to be locked according to a specific fastening torque.

[0003] Since the fastener on the rotor is often a non-standard part, a special fastening tool is required to pre-tighten it. The commonly used fastening tool is usually designed in a cylindrical shape, one end of which is designed according to the shape of the fastener, and the other end face is left with a square through hole for installing a torque wrench. This fastening tool is simple in structure, but during use, the fastening tool itself does not provide axial pressing force, and the operator needs to press the fastening tool axially during use to ensure that the fastening tool is tightly fitted with the fastener and prevent the fastening tool from slipping off the fastener.

[0004] Therefore, the current fastening tool has the following two disadvantages:

[0005] (1) If the pre-tightening force of the fastener is large, the fastening tool may suddenly come off the fastener during pre-tightening, causing damage to the product and the fastening tool, and even causing injury to the operator;

[0006] (2) The operator needs to press the fastening tool during operation, and needs to maintain the vertical angle of the torsional force relative to the fastening tool, which is difficult to operate and requires a high strength of the operator. INVENTION CONTENTS
