[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figs. 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary device for stress-free assembly of split trusses, including a tooling base 1 and a split truss 4. A truss base 2 is installed in the middle of the upper surface of the tooling base 1, and the split truss 4 is installed above the truss base 2.

[0024] The upper surface of the tooling base 1 is provided with an annular groove 9. The cross-section of the annular groove 9 is inverted T-shaped. A slider 8 is slidably installed in the annular groove 9. The number of sliders 8 is the same as the number of split trusses 4. A universal joint base 7 is installed on the upper surface of the slider 8. A dial indicator 6 is clamped and installed at the end of the universal joint base 7. The probe of the dial indicator 6 is in contact with the side wall of the split truss 4.

[0025] The upper surface of the tooling base 1 is provided with a relief groove 10, which is connected to the annular slide groove 9. A top plate 11 is inserted into the inner cavity of the relief groove 10, and the top plate 11 and the lower wall of the inner cavity of the annular slide groove 9 are in the same horizontal plane.

[0026] The slider 8 described in this article can be quickly removed from the annular groove 9 by pulling up the support rod 27 above the top plate 11 after sliding onto the top plate 11 at the clearance groove 10, so that the slider 8 can be added or removed.

[0027] Specifically, a positioning plate 12 is installed at the center of the upper surface of the tooling base 1, and a slot 13 is opened on the lower surface of the truss base 2. The positioning plate 12 can be inserted into the slot 13. A connecting threaded hole 14 is opened on the upper surface of the positioning plate 12, and a through hole 15 is opened on the upper surface of the truss base 2. The through hole 15 is positioned corresponding to the connecting threaded hole 14. A connecting bolt 3 is inserted into the through hole 15 and can be screwed into the connecting threaded hole 14.

[0028] By setting the positioning plate 12 and the slot 13, the truss base 2 can be quickly positioned during installation, making the installation faster.

[0029] Meanwhile, the cooperation between the positioning plate 12 and the slot 13 can also ensure the coaxiality between the tooling base 1 and the truss base 2.

[0030] Specifically, one end of a fixing screw 16 is mounted on the upper surface of the slider 8, and a ball head 17 is mounted on the other end of the fixing screw 16. A connecting sleeve 18 is mounted on the lower surface of the universal base 7. The wall of the connecting sleeve 18 is provided with a spherical groove 19. The ball head 17 is inserted into the spherical groove 19. A locking nut 20 is installed on the outside of the fixing screw 16 by thread rotation. The locking nut 20 can fit against the upper surface of the tooling base 1.

[0031] Specifically, the side wall of the connecting sleeve 18 is provided with a threaded hole 21, and a positioning screw 22 is screwed into the threaded hole 21. The positioning screw 22 can fit against the side wall of the ball head 17.

[0032] After adjusting the angle of the universal joint 7, the positioning screw 22 can be rotated to make it fit against the side wall of the ball head 17, thereby fixing the angle between the universal joint 7 and the ball head 17.

[0033] Specifically, ball grooves 23 are provided on both the left and right side walls of the slider 8, and balls 24 are installed in the ball grooves 23. The balls 24 can fit against the inner wall of the annular groove 9.

[0034] By setting the ball bearing 24, the slider 8 can slide more smoothly in the annular groove 9, avoiding jamming.

[0035] Specifically, a rubber washer 25 is fitted onto the lower surface of the locking nut 20, and the rubber washer 25 can fit against the upper surface of the tooling base 1.

[0036] The rubber washer 25 increases the friction between the locking nut 20 and the tooling base 1, thus ensuring that the slider 8 will not slide in the annular groove 9 after the locking nut 20 is tightened, which would cause the position of the universal base 7 and the dial indicator 6 to change and affect the measurement result of the dial indicator 6.

[0037] Specifically, the upper surface of the truss base 2 is provided with truss connection screw holes 26, and the lower surface of the split truss 4 is provided with bolts 5. The split truss 4 is installed above the truss base 2 through the cooperation between the bolts 5 and the truss connection screw holes 26.

[0038] The split truss 4 is installed on the truss base 2 by the fit between the bolt 5 and the connecting screw hole 26.

[0039] Specifically, one end of a support rod 27 is installed on the upper surface of the top plate 11, and a handle sleeve 28 is sleeved on the outer side of the other end of the support rod 27.

[0040] By providing a support rod 27 on its top plate 11, it is made easy to remove its top plate 11 from the relief groove 10.

[0041] Working principle: When in use, first connect the truss base 2 and the tooling base 1 with the connecting bolts 3 and the connecting threaded holes 14, and then place the assembled split truss 4 on the truss base 2. Next, the assembly personnel adjust and fix the various connecting links on the split truss 4. Finally, tighten and fix the bolts 5 between the corresponding holes of the split truss 4 and the truss base 2.

[0042] Adjust the direction angle of the universal joint base 7 so that the probe of each dial indicator 6 is perpendicular to the support rod of the corresponding split truss 4. Then loosen the bolts 5 between the split truss 4 and the truss base 2 to restore the split truss 4 to a free state. Observe the reading of each dial indicator 6. If the reading changes, it indicates that there is assembly stress. The greater the change in reading, the greater the stress.

[0043] At this point, the assembly personnel will adjust the various connecting links on the split truss 4 and repeat the above operation until the readings of each dial indicator 6 no longer change when the connecting screws between the split truss 4 and the truss base 2 are loosened, indicating that there is no assembly stress on the split truss 4.

[0044] By increasing or decreasing the number of sliders 8, dial indicators 6, and multimeter bases 7 in the annular groove 9 of the tooling base 1, stress-free assembly of different split trusses 4 with 3 supports, 4 supports, and 6 supports can be achieved.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0046] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
