Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hydraulic vibration dampers for subway rail vehicles, and in particular to a tooling for shrinking and installing the sealing ring of a hydraulic vibration damper for subway rail vehicles, which improves upon the traditional installation method of bending it into a kidney shape. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the guide seat structure of the hydraulic shock absorber in existing subway rail vehicles widely uses a combination sealing structure of O-rings and sealing rings (also known as step seals), which consists of two or more series sealing systems. Specifically, the step seal is composed of O-rings and sealing rings, and multiple sets are distributed along the axial direction and installed in the groove of the guide cover to play a role in multiple sealing.

[0003] In the prior art, during installation, the O-ring is first placed into the sealing groove of the guide cover, and the O-ring is mostly made of oil-resistant nitrile rubber, which can easily enter the groove after bending; then the sealing ring is bent into a kidney shape with a special tool and placed into the groove.

[0004] However, because the sealing ring is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), it is easy to form bending marks when bent, and these marks are not easy to remove during subsequent leveling. When the bending marks cannot be removed, the oil will leak from the bending point during operation, causing leakage failure of the shock absorber. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shrinkage installation tool for the sealing ring of a hydraulic shock absorber for subway rail vehicles. It adopts a guide sleeve push-in installation method, which eliminates the need to bend the sealing ring, thereby effectively improving physical reliability, increasing production efficiency, and reducing quality risks.

[0012] The inlet section includes: a wedge-shaped portion connected to the guide sleeve body, and a straight cylindrical portion connected to the wedge-shaped portion; the wedge-shaped portion is aligned with the conical hole direction of the guide sleeve, and the straight cylindrical portion has a straight hole.

[0013] Specifically, the push rod is a cylinder, and the bottom center of the cylinder has an exhaust channel.

[0014] Furthermore, the leveling mandrel includes: a cylindrical section and a wedge-shaped section integrally formed with the cylindrical section, wherein the wedge-shaped section is arranged in the axial direction.

[0015] A method for shrinking and installing the sealing ring of a hydraulic vibration damper for subway rail vehicles includes the following steps:

[0016] Insert the O-ring into the guide seat groove;

[0017] The sealing ring is passed through a guide sleeve with an inner taper and pressed into the guide seat groove using a push rod;

[0018] Use a leveling mandrel to extend the leveling process.

[0019] In practical applications, the sealing ring is pressed into the guide seat groove through a guide sleeve with an inner taper and using a push rod, specifically including the following steps:

[0022] Remove the push rod.

[0023] The expansion and leveling using a leveling mandrel specifically includes the following steps:

[0024] Insert the leveling mandrel into the sealing ring repeatedly 3-4 times, and then expand and level the sealing ring.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the sealing ring shrinkage installation fixture for the metro rail vehicle hydraulic vibration damper described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0026] In the shrink-fit installation fixture for the sealing ring of the hydraulic vibration damper for subway vehicles provided by this utility model, the small end of the guide sleeve is inserted into the inner hole of the guide seat, and the large end of the tapered hole of the guide sleeve faces upward; the sealing ring is placed into the tapered hole of the guide sleeve, and the round end of the sealing ring faces downward; the push rod is used to press the sealing ring into the groove where the O-ring is located; the leveling mandrel is used to insert into the sealing ring and expand and level the sealing ring. Therefore, this installation fixture is simple and effective to operate, and there is no need to bend the sealing ring, thereby effectively avoiding oil leakage failure of the vibration damper, thus effectively improving physical reliability, and effectively improving assembly efficiency and reducing quality risks. In other words, the shrink-fit installation fixture for the sealing ring of the hydraulic vibration damper for subway vehicles provided by this utility model improves the existing sealing ring bending assembly method into a shrink-fit installation method, thereby effectively avoiding bending marks generated on the sealing ring during the bending process, thus effectively improving the quality of the installed sealing ring and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0035] In the existing technology, since the sealing ring is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), it cannot be bent like rubber when installed into a closed groove. If it is bent into a kidney shape before installation, it cannot be guaranteed that the bending marks will be 100% eliminated after leveling.
