[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tooling for installing track end couplers, which has the advantages of enabling rapid installation of the end couplers, saving time and effort, and improving installation efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A tooling for installing a track end coupler includes a mounting body and a mounting drive component fixedly mounted on the mounting body.
[0008] A limiting frame is fixedly provided on the mounting body, and a limiting component that restricts the limiting frame to the track plate is detachably provided on the limiting frame;
[0009] A mounting bracket for the connector is fixedly installed on the actuating end of the mounting drive component.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting drive component is a hydraulic cylinder, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the placement frame.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the placement rack includes a base plate, a back plate fixedly connected to the base plate, and a side plate located on one side of the back plate and fixedly connected to the base plate and the back plate;
[0012] The back plate is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting frame includes two mounting cylinders fixedly mounted on the mounting body and two limiting plates respectively inserted into the two mounting cylinders. The limiting plates are detachably fixedly connected to the mounting cylinders. The two limiting plates are respectively located above and below the placement frame.
[0014] A pin hole is provided at the end of the limiting plate on the side away from the mounting body.
[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the limiting member is a pin that is inserted into a pin hole;

[0029] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a tooling for installing track end couplers, including an installation body 4 and an installation drive component 5 fixedly installed on the installation body 4. A limit frame 6 is fixedly provided on the installation body 4, and a limit component 7 is detachably provided on the limit frame 6 to limit the limit frame 6 to the track plate 1; a placement frame 8 for placing the end coupler is fixedly provided on the actuating end of the installation drive component 5.
[0030] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5In this embodiment, the installation drive component 5 is a hydraulic cylinder, and the installation body 4 is a shell fixed on the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder. A handle 9 is hinged on the side wall at the upper end of the shell. The handle 9 makes it easy for the operator to grab and hold the device.
[0031] The mounting frame 8 includes a base plate 81, a back plate 82, and a side plate 83. The back plate 82 is integrally formed on the rear side of the base plate 81, and the side plate 83 is integrally formed on the side of the base plate 81. The side plate 83 is located on one side of the back plate 82 and is integrally formed with the back plate 82. The side plate 83, the back plate 82, and the base plate 81 are perpendicular to each other. The back plate 82 is located near the hydraulic cylinder and is bolted to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder. When the end connector 3 is placed on the mounting frame 8, the base plate 81 is used to support the end connector 3, and the side plate 83 and the back plate 82 are used to limit the side and rear of the end connector 3. Thus, when installing the end connector 3, force can be applied to the end connector 3 to install the end connector 3 on the track axle 2.
[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and 4 The limiting frame 6 includes two mounting cylinders 61 and two limiting plates 62. The two mounting cylinders 61 are bolted or welded to the upper and lower side walls of the mounting body 4, respectively. The two limiting plates 62 are inserted into the two mounting cylinders 61, and the limiting plates 62 and the mounting cylinders 61 are detachably fixed together. The detachable fixed connection between the limiting plates 62 and the mounting cylinders 61 can be achieved by using fixing bolts 63 and fixing nuts 64. The advantage of the detachable connection is that after use, the limiting plates 62 can be removed to reduce the overall volume, making the overall structure more compact and convenient for storage and carrying.
[0033] Two limiting plates 62 are located above and below the placement frame 8, respectively. The end of the limiting plate 62 away from the mounting body 4 has a pin hole 71. The limiting member 7 is a pin 72 that is inserted into the pin hole 71. The top of the pin 72 has an integrally formed stop block 73. The pin 72 inserted into the pin hole 71 can limit the limiting frame 6 to the track plate 1. Under the drive of the mounting drive member 5, the pin 72 abuts against one side of the track plate 1, thereby limiting the position of the hydraulic cylinder body. That is, when the hydraulic cylinder pushes the end connector 3, the hydraulic cylinder body does not move. Then, under the force of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod, the end connector 3 can be pushed forward and installed on the track shaft 2.
[0034] Brief description of the usage process: When installing the end connector 3, place the end connector 3 on the placement frame 8, and then install the limiting frame 6 on the track plate 1. At this time, the two limiting plates are located on the upper and lower sides of the track plate 1, and align the two shaft holes 31 on the end connector 3 with the two adjacent track shafts 2. Insert the limiting piece 7 into the pin hole 71 to restrict the limiting frame 6 on the track plate 1. Then, release the actuating end of the installation drive 5. Under the drive of the installation drive 5, the limiting piece 7 abuts against one side of the track plate 1, thereby restricting the position of the hydraulic cylinder body. Then, under the continuous release of the actuating end of the installation drive 5, the placement frame 8 can drive the end connector 3 to move forward and install the end connector 3 on the track shaft 2, realizing the quick installation of the end connector 3.
[0035] In summary, this invention enables rapid installation of the terminal connector 3, saving time and effort and improving installation efficiency. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.
[0036] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
