Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment maintenance, specifically to an auxiliary device for installing shaft end skeleton oil seals. Background Technology
[0002] The skeleton oil seal is a typical example of an oil seal. The function of an oil seal is to isolate the lubricating medium of rotating equipment from the rotating rod components, preventing lubricating oil leakage that could lead to low oil levels, resulting in poor bearing lubrication and damage to the rotating equipment.
[0003] In existing technologies, the installation of skeleton oil seals mainly relies on hand hammering, rubber mallet pressing, or pressure mechanisms. For example, hand hammering requires repeated tapping, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to uneven force, leading to deformation of the oil seal lip, spring detachment, or seal failure. While rubber mallet installation can reduce impact force, it still presents problems such as high operational difficulty and insufficient installation accuracy. Currently, there are no effective auxiliary tools on the market for installing skeleton oil seals, which cannot meet the daily maintenance and troubleshooting work of the conventional islands and auxiliary equipment of units 1-4. Since the skeleton oil seals are installed in the end holes and are made of rubber, they cannot be positioned for installation. There is an urgent need for a special tool to improve equipment maintenance efficiency and reduce the damage rate of skeleton oil seals.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop a versatile and easy-to-operate auxiliary device for installing skeleton oil seals, applicable to a certain range of skeleton oil seal sizes. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides an auxiliary device for installing a shaft end skeleton oil seal, which solves the above-mentioned problems. By adjusting the radial direction of the main support claw, the auxiliary device for installing skeleton oil seals can be applied to the auxiliary installation of skeleton oil seals of different sizes.
[0006] The specific technical solution of this application is as follows:
[0007] An auxiliary device for installing a shaft end skeleton oil seal includes:
[0008] Adjustment plate,
[0009] At least two main support claws are used to support the skeleton oil seal. The main support claws are movably installed along the radial direction of the adjustment plate and are movably installed on the adjustment plate.
[0010] In some implementations, the adjustment disc is equipped with a handle for ease of operation.
[0011] In some implementations, to facilitate the installation of preset-sized skeleton oil seals, the handle is provided with an adjustment pad for installing preset-sized skeleton oil seals. The preset size refers to a commonly used fixed size with a cut diameter of less than 50mm.
[0012] In some implementations, a universal level is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the adjustment disc to facilitate confirmation of whether the oil seal is level during installation.
[0013] In some implementations, to facilitate the installation of oil seal skeletons of different sizes, the bottom end face of the adjustment disc is provided with a sliding groove for installing the main support claw, and the main support claw moves radially along the sliding groove.
[0014] In some implementation schemes, to facilitate the installation of oil seal skeletons of different sizes, when installing a larger size oil seal skeleton, first loosen the first bolt, then adjust the main support claw radially outward to the appropriate size of the oil seal skeleton, then tighten the first bolt, and so on, adjusting the remaining bolts. Conversely, when installing a smaller size oil seal skeleton, first loosen the first bolt, adjust the main support claw radially inward to the appropriate size of the oil seal skeleton, then tighten the first bolt, and so on, adjusting the remaining bolts. This process is repeated to complete the installation of oil seal skeletons of different sizes.
[0015] In some implementations, the clamping claw is movably positioned on the outside of the main support claw. The thicker the skeleton oil seal, the further the clamping claw moves downward until it reaches the appropriate size, and then it is fixed by a third bolt. This is to prevent the skeleton oil seal from shaking during the hammering process and to avoid additional manual support, thereby completing the installation of the skeleton oil seal in a deeper location.
[0016] In some implementations, to prevent the oil seal skeleton from falling off when installing it without using the main support claw and clamping claw, a strong magnetic strip is fixedly installed on the bottom end face of the adjustment plate. When installing the oil seal skeleton skeleton using only the handle and adjustment plate, it can be attracted and fixed. This method uses a flat surface facing outward for direct embedding installation.
[0017] In some implementation schemes, at least two measuring point clips are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the adjustment disc. A ruler is installed inside the measuring point clip. By adjusting several sets of rulers to the same scale, it is determined that the oil seal skeleton is in a horizontal state when it is installed, thereby achieving the purpose of data-driven detection of installation.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0019] When installing a larger size oil seal skeleton, the main support claw should be adjusted radially outwards; when installing a smaller size oil seal skeleton, the main support claw should be adjusted radially inwards; when the oil seal skeleton needs to be installed deep within the seal, first loosen the bolts between the main support claw and the clamping claw, then adjust the clamping claw downwards to the appropriate size, and finally tighten the bolts to secure it. This prevents the oil seal skeleton from moving during hammering and avoids the need for additional manual support. By adjusting the main support claw and clamping claw as described above, the oil seal skeleton installation auxiliary device can be adapted to assist in the installation of oil seal skeletons of different sizes.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-2 This application provides an auxiliary device for installing a shaft end skeleton oil seal, comprising:
[0026] Adjustment plate 7 and at least two main support claws 13;
[0027] The adjustment disc 7 can have a disc-shaped shape, with an upper end face and a lower end face.
[0028] The main support claw 13 is used to support the skeleton oil seal 14. The main support claw 13 is radially mounted on the adjustment plate 7.
[0029] The main support claw 13 moves radially along the adjusting plate 7. The main support claw 13 is fixed by the upper end face shim 6 of the adjusting plate 7 and the first bolt 5. When installing a larger size oil seal skeleton, first loosen the first bolt 5, then adjust the main support claw radially outward to the appropriate size for the oil seal skeleton, and then tighten the first bolt 5; repeat this process to adjust the remaining bolts. When installing a smaller size oil seal skeleton, first adjust the main support claw radially inward to the appropriate size for the oil seal skeleton, and then tighten the first bolt 5; repeat this process to adjust the remaining bolts. By adjusting the radial distance according to the different specifications of the oil seal skeleton, the support work for oil seal skeletons of different sizes can be completed.
[0030] This application embodiment enables the skeleton oil seal installation auxiliary device to be applicable to the auxiliary installation of skeleton oil seals of different sizes by radial adjustment of the main support claw.
[0031] As an optional embodiment of this application, a handle 1 is installed on the adjustment plate to facilitate the user's grip on the installation aid. In actual use, the handle 1 can usually be installed in the middle area of the upper end face of the adjustment plate 7, and the handle 1 can be fixedly connected to the adjustment plate 7 or detachably connected.
[0032] As an optional embodiment of this application, the handle 1 is provided with an adjustment pad 2 for installing a preset size skeleton oil seal. In actual use, the adjustment pad 2 is generally a small-sized disc, which can be detachably installed on the top of the adjustment plate 7. The lower end face of the adjustment pad 2 is provided with a groove of the preset size skeleton oil seal. When the size of the skeleton oil seal to be installed is the same as the preset size, the handle 1 and the adjustment pad 2 can be removed, and the skeleton oil seal can be placed in the groove on the lower end face of the adjustment pad 2. Thus, the installation of the preset size skeleton oil seal can be completed through this simple combination.
[0033] As an optional embodiment of this application, a universal level 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the adjustment plate 7. The universal level 4 is generally a round, flat instrument embedded in the upper end face of the adjustment plate 7. The function of the universal level 4 is to monitor whether the skeleton oil seal is in a horizontal state when the installation auxiliary device is installed, thereby improving the installation accuracy and efficiency, and thus achieving the purpose of visual installation.
[0034] As an optional embodiment of this application, the bottom end face of the adjusting plate 7 is provided with a sliding groove for installing the main support claw 13, and the main support claw 13 moves radially along the sliding groove. When installing a smaller-sized skeleton oil seal, first loosen the first nut 5, then move the main support claw 13 radially inward along the sliding groove until it is suitable for supporting the size of the skeleton oil seal, and then tighten the first nut 5 to fix it. Conversely, when installing a larger-sized skeleton oil seal, the main support claw 13 moves radially outward along the sliding groove until it is suitable for supporting the size of the hanger oil seal.
[0035] As an optional embodiment of this application, a clamping claw 12 is movably provided on the outer side of the main support claw 13. The main support claw 13 and the clamping claw 12 generally have an arc-shaped cross-section because the skeleton oil seal is circular. The arc-shaped design can fit the outer wall of the skeleton oil seal to the greatest extent. The two are movably connected together by a third bolt 11.
[0036] As an optional embodiment of this application, the clamping claw 12 and the main support claw 13 are movably connected together by the third bolt 11. The length of the clamping claw 12 can be further adjusted by loosening the third bolt. When the third bolt is loosened, the clamping claw 13 can move up and down. The longer the clamping claw 13 is adjusted downwards, the easier it is to install the oil seal in a deeper location. The purpose of fixing it with the third bolt 11 is to prevent the oil seal from shaking during hammering, avoiding the need for additional manual support.
[0037] As an optional embodiment of this application, at least two strong magnetic strips 10 are fixedly installed on the bottom end face of the adjustment plate 7. The strong magnetic strips 10 are generally symmetrically embedded on the bottom end face of the adjustment plate 7; this symmetrical installation ensures uniform adsorption force of the strong magnetic strips on the oil seal skeleton. They are fixed with countersunk bolts 15. The strong magnetic strips 10 are used to adsorb the metal skeleton inside the oil seal skeleton to prevent it from falling off during installation. When the surface faces outwards and the oil seal skeleton is directly embedded, the installation can be completed using only the handle 1 and the adjustment plate 7.
[0038] As an optional embodiment of this application, at least two symmetrical measuring point clips 8 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the adjustment disc 7. The measuring point clips 8 are fixed to the outer wall of the adjustment disc 7 by a second bolt, and their function is to movably install the ruler 3. When installing the skeleton oil seal, after adjusting the main support claw 13 and the clamping claw 12 to support the skeleton oil seal, the skeleton oil seal is placed at the location where it needs to be installed. The ruler 3 is inserted into the measuring point clips 8. After adjusting at least two rulers 3 to the same value, the overall level of the adjustment disc 7 can be verified by data monitoring, thereby achieving the purpose of data-driven installation detection.
[0039] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, any modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
