Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical assembly tooling technology, specifically relating to an assembly tooling for a keyway screw sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] Locking key inserts are important connecting parts in military aero engines, widely used in engine housing connections. Due to the low hardness of aluminum-magnesium alloys, the internal threads in threaded connections are severely damaged. Therefore, threaded bushings are often used to protect the internal threads in connection structures. Locking key inserts have anti-loosening properties on both their internal and external threads, which is of great significance for the reliable service of the engine and extending the life of the housing threads. They have functions such as high fatigue resistance, high corrosion resistance, high reliability, self-locking, anti-loosening, and vibration damping. Traditionally, locking key inserts are assembled using a simple fixture. Products made using this assembly method have gaps at the contact point between the locking key and the insert. After testing, the minimum torque that the installed insert can withstand is not up to standard. When using a thread ring gauge to test the external threads of the products, some products have thread go / no-go defects, and some even have jamming. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an assembly fixture for keyway sleeves that reduces assembly defects and improves product qualification rate.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] An assembly fixture for a keyed screw sleeve includes a nut and a key; a keyway is provided on the side wall of the nut; the key is larger at one end and smaller at the other end; the assembly fixture also includes a base plate, a side plate, a top plate, a pad, a movable block, a fixed block, and a limiting block; the side plate is a hollow rectangular plate; the base plate is installed at the bottom of the side plate; the top plate is installed above the side plate; the top plate has a through hole in the center that communicates with the interior of the side plate and is used to install the nut; a pad is installed above the base plate; the pad is located inside the side plate; there are two fixing blocks, which are fixed to the bottom plate. The pad has two movable blocks, one at each end of its upper surface and the other at the other end of its upper surface, located within the side plate. The movable blocks are slidably mounted on the left and right ends of the pad's upper surface, respectively, and are located within the side plate, with a clearance fit between the movable blocks and the inner wall of the side plate. The front ends of the movable blocks and the fixed blocks are provided with grooves for installing locking keys. A limiting block is provided in the center of the pad's upper surface. The upper surface of the limiting block is horizontal to the upper surfaces of the movable blocks and the fixed blocks. A pin hole is provided on the side plate near the movable blocks. The limiting block is cylindrical. The movable blocks and the fixed blocks are distributed around the limiting block.
[0006] To facilitate the removal of the keyed nut after processing, an assembly tool for a keyed nut also includes a mounting block and a spring; the mounting block is a rectangular tube and is horizontally mounted in the center of the upper surface of the pad, with the openings at both ends of the mounting block facing the two movable blocks respectively; the spring is horizontally mounted inside the mounting block, with both ends of the spring contacting the front ends of the two movable blocks respectively; the limiting block is mounted above the mounting block.
