Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aviation parts and accessories installation and removal assembly, more specifically, it relates to a removal tool for aircraft hinge bushing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of aviation assembly, the adapter bushing is usually needed when installing the aircraft hinge parts. The bushing is usually installed after being frozen by liquid nitrogen. However, due to the complexity of operation or environmental factors, the bushing is prone to problems such as bruising, deformation or size out-of-tolerance during installation, resulting in unqualified installation and the need for repair. Since the bushing and the hinge are in interference fit, the bushing is tightly combined with the bottom hole during repair, making it extremely difficult to disassemble. The traditional repair method mostly uses mechanical knocking or forced pulling, which not only takes a long time and is low in efficiency, but also easily causes mechanical damage to the hinge bottom hole and the bushing to be repaired, such as scratches, deformation or even breakage, thereby affecting the precision, strength and service life of the parts. In addition, the damage caused during the repair process may increase the subsequent maintenance cost, and even affect the overall safety performance of the aircraft.
