Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bolt tensioning devices, specifically to a hydraulic bolt tensioner. Background Technology
[0002] A hydraulic bolt tensioner, or bolt tensioner for short, uses a hydraulic booster pump to provide a hydraulic power source. The tension force is determined based on the tensile strength, yield coefficient, and elongation of the material. The tension force generated by the ultra-high pressure oil pump causes the bolt to be stretched within its elastic deformation zone, resulting in slight deformation of the bolt diameter. This makes the nut easier to loosen. In addition, it can also be used as a device to apply axial force to a hydraulic interference fit for top pressure installation.
[0003] When existing hydraulic bolt tensioners are used in outdoor environments, rainwater and dust can easily enter the gap between the piston and the inner wall of the hydraulic cylinder, causing damage to the piston and hydraulic cylinder and affecting the service life of the hydraulic bolt tensioner.

[0029] The upper end of the piston rod 3 extends outward to form a protective flange, and the protective flange extends downward to form a ring 31, which is movably sleeved on the outside of the upper end of the cylinder barrel 1.
[0030] The outer side of the cylinder wall of the cylinder 1 is provided with a receiving annular groove, and a sealing ring 12 is embedded in the receiving annular groove, thereby sealing the gap between the cylinder 1 and the ring sleeve 31.
[0031] The tensioning head 4 rests on the upper end face of the piston column 3. In this embodiment, a mounting through hole b is formed in the middle of the tensioning head 4, and the mounting through hole b is arranged vertically. An inner liner tube 5 is detachably installed in the mounting through hole b of the tensioning head 4. The inner liner tube 5 has internal threads and is screwed into the bolt to be tensioned.
[0032] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a support flange 41 is formed on the upper part of the stretching head 4. The support flange 41 is arranged in a circle along the circumferential direction of the stretching head 4, and the upper end face of the piston column 3 is supported on the support flange 41 of the stretching head 4.
[0033] Multiple torsion holes c are provided on the side of the support flange 41, and the multiple torsion holes c are spaced apart along the circumference of the support flange 41. When using a hydraulic bolt tensioner, the tension head (inner liner 5) is screwed into the bolt to be tensioned, and the tension head 4 is tightened by inserting the lever into the torsion hole c.
[0034] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end face of the stretching head 4 is provided with a receiving groove d, which is connected to the assembly through hole b. The upper end of the inner liner tube 5 forms a limiting flange 51, which is arranged in a circle along the circumference of the inner liner tube 5. The limiting flange 51 of the inner liner tube 5 is embedded in the receiving groove d of the stretching head 4.
[0035] A locking hole e is provided on the side of the limiting flange 51. In this embodiment, two locking holes e are provided on the side of the limiting flange 51, and the two locking holes e are respectively located on opposite sides of the limiting flange 51. The two locking holes e are respectively aligned with the two torsion holes c of the stretching head. A locking rod 42 is detachably installed in the torsion hole c and the locking hole e. In this embodiment, the wall of the locking hole e is formed with internal threads, and the outside of the locking rod 42 is formed with external threads. The locking rod 42 passes through the torsion hole c and is screwed into the locking hole e, thereby locking the inner liner tube 5.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting groove f is formed in the wall of the assembly through hole b of the stretching head. The limiting groove f is vertically arranged and communicates with the receiving groove d. A limiting rib 52 is connected between the outer wall of the inner liner tube 5 and the limiting flange 51, and the limiting rib 52 is vertically arranged. The limiting rib 52 of the inner liner tube slides in the limiting groove f of the stretching head, and the bottom wall of the limiting groove f is supported by the limiting rib 52.
[0037] When installing the inner liner tube, first align the inner liner tube 5 with the assembly through hole b of the stretching head 4, and align the limiting protrusion 52 with the limiting groove f of the stretching head 4. Then, insert the inner liner tube 5 into the assembly through hole b, ensuring that the limiting protrusions 52 are inserted into the limiting grooves f one-to-one, and the limiting flange 51 of the inner liner tube 5 is embedded in the receiving groove d of the stretching head 4. Finally, by inserting the locking rod 42 into the torsion hole c of the stretching head 4 and screwing it into the locking hole e of the inner liner tube 5, the inner liner tube 5 is locked to the stretching head 4, completing the installation of the inner liner tube.
[0038] Locking rod 42 locks the inner liner tube 5 to prevent it from loosening. When the tensioning head 4 tensions the bolt, the bottom of the receiving groove d is supported by the limiting flange 51 of the inner liner tube, and the bottom wall of the limiting groove f is supported by the limiting protrusion 52 of the inner liner tube, thereby increasing the supporting force of the tensioning head 4 on the inner liner tube 5 and ensuring the stability of the tensioning head in use.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, an assembly ring groove g is provided on the outer side of the cylinder wall 1, and the assembly ring groove g is located below the receiving ring groove (sealing ring 12). A support ring plate 6 is slidably disposed in the assembly ring groove g, and the support ring plate 6 is detachably connected to the ring sleeve 31. A return spring 7 is connected between the support ring plate 6 and the top groove wall of the assembly ring groove g.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom wall of the assembly ring groove g is inclined downward, which facilitates rainwater and dust to slide down along the bottom wall of the assembly ring groove g, reducing the accumulation of rainwater and dust.
[0041] In this utility model of hydraulic bolt tensioner, the outer ring surface of the piston column 3 and the inner ring surface of the support sill 11 are respectively provided with sealing rings 8, so that the oil chamber forms a sealed cavity.
[0042] The hydraulic bolt tensioner of this invention has a notch formed on the side of the support ring seat 2. After the hydraulic bolt tensioner tensions the bolt, the nut can be tightened or loosened by rotating it through the notch.
[0043] When using the hydraulic bolt tensioner of this utility model, first, the adjusting nut sleeve 9 is placed on the nut, and the support ring seat 2 of the hydraulic bolt tensioner is placed on the outside of the adjusting nut sleeve 9. Then, the tensioning head 4 is rotated so that the inner liner tube 5 is screwed onto the bolt to be tensioned, and the tensioning head is tightened by inserting the lever into the turning hole c.
[0044] After high-pressure oil is introduced into the oil injection channel a, the high-pressure oil fills the oil chamber. As the oil volume in the oil chamber increases, it lifts the piston column 3, which in turn lifts the tension head 4. The tension head 4 (within the inner liner tube 5) then tensions the bolt. After the bolt is tensioned, the adjusting nut sleeve 9 is rotated using a lever to tighten or loosen the nut.
[0045] After the hydraulic bolt tensioner is used, the high-pressure oil returns, and the piston rod 3 is reset under the action of the return spring 7.
[0046] When the hydraulic bolt tensioner of this utility model is used outdoors, after the piston rod 3 extends out of the cylinder barrel 1, the protective flange and the ring sleeve 31 cover the upper end face of the cylinder barrel 1, and the sealing ring 12 seals the gap between the cylinder barrel 1 and the ring sleeve 31, thereby preventing rainwater and dust from entering between the piston rod 3 and the cylinder barrel 1, and increasing the service life of the piston rod 3 and the cylinder barrel 1.
[0047] When the internal thread of the inner liner tube 5 is worn, the hydraulic bolt tensioner of this utility model can quickly replace the inner liner tube 5 by disassembling and assembling the locking rod 42, avoiding the need to replace the entire tensioning head and reducing the maintenance and replacement cost of the tensioning head.
[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
