Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tensioners, and in particular to a quick-release tensioner suitable for deep-sea operations. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic tensioners utilize the hydraulic power source provided by a hydraulic booster pump (ultra-high pressure hydraulic pump). The tensile force is determined based on the tensile strength, yield coefficient, and elongation of the material. By using the tensile force generated by the ultra-high pressure oil pump, the bolt under force is stretched within its elastic deformation zone, causing slight deformation of the bolt diameter, which makes the nut easier to loosen. In addition, it can also be used as a device to apply axial force to a hydraulic interference connection for top pressure installation.
[0003] A bolt tensioner typically consists of a hydraulic pump, a high-pressure hose, a pressure gauge, and a tensioning body. The hydraulic pump is the power source, the pressure gauge reflects the pump's output pressure, and the high-pressure hose connects the hydraulic pump and the tensioning body. The tensioning body is the actuator that performs the bolt tensioning. It mainly consists of a piston cylinder, a piston, a support bridge, and a tensioning nut.
[0004] Hydraulic tensioners are commonly used in petrochemical, nuclear power, wind power, hydropower, thermal power, shipbuilding, railway, aerospace, mining, and heavy machinery industries. Custom tensioner designs are available to meet different working conditions and user requirements.
[0005] In particular, applying hydraulic tensioners to the deep-sea field presents several technical challenges:
[0006] (1) The tensioner is used in the deep sea and needs to be immersed in seawater. The salt content of seawater is high, and the tensioner is made of metal. Therefore, the tensioner is easily corroded, which affects its service life and performance.
[0007] (2) The tensioner is used in the deep sea. The visibility in the deep sea is poor and the bolt stroke is long. If a traditional tension nut is used, it is difficult to match the tension nut with the bolt. Moreover, the time required for the staff to turn the tension nut is long, which increases the difficulty of the staff's operation and affects the staff's work efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to construct a quick-release tensioner suitable for deep-sea operations, based on the existing tensioner and in order to improve the work efficiency of workers, ensure the life of the tensioner, and reduce the difficulty of operation for workers. The tensioner nut is a split structure.

The inner side of the piston cylinder is provided with threads for bolt connection. The upper part of the piston abuts against the lower part of the tensioning nut. The inner side of the tensioning nut is also provided with threads for bolt connection. The tensioning nut is characterized by being a split structure, including a first split tensioning nut and a second split tensioning nut.

[0017] One end of the first limiting member is always abutting against the second split tension nut.
[0018] With the tension nut in the unlocked state, the other end of the first sliding sleeve can be limited by the second active engagement cavity.
[0019] The first sliding sleeve is provided with a ball bearing groove, and the first sliding rod is provided with an annular groove.

[0060] (1) Pass the bolt through the piston cylinder 101 and position the tensioning body at the designated location;
[0061] (2) Place the tension nut 102 in the unlocked state at the designated position on the bolt;
[0062] (3) The workers squeeze the second split tension nut 109 and the first split tension nut 110 towards the middle, so that the limiting steel ball 118 is locked between the second-level step and the steel ball groove 120 of the second active mating cavity, so that the tension nut 102 is changed to the locked state, and the driven locking part 201 changes with the change of the state of the active locking part 202.
[0063] (4) Rotate the tension nut 102 to make it abut against the piston 103. The piston cylinder 101 is pressurized to make the piston 103 slide, which drives the tension nut 102 to move the tension bolt.
[0064] When it is necessary to change the tension nut 102 from the locked state to the unlocked state
[0065] The staff presses 111, pushing the first slide bar 112 to slide within the first slide sleeve 113, causing the limiting steel ball 118 to be locked between the steel ball groove 120 and the annular groove 130, thus unlocking the tension nut 102.
