Description

An auxiliary device for removing and installing tire nuts on open-pit mining engineering vehicles Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery maintenance equipment technology, specifically to an auxiliary device for disassembling and assembling tire nuts on open-pit mining engineering vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In the open-pit mining industry, mining vehicles account for 90% of the total equipment, such as unmanned mining trucks, graders, and water trucks. Maintenance of wheel-side oil leaks, oil seal replacements, brake pad replacements, tire wear and tear replacements, tire inflation, and other related component repairs all require the removal of tire bolts before proceeding to the next step. The number of open-pit mining vehicles requiring daily maintenance is high. The frequency of tire wear and tear and other component repairs and replacements on open-pit mining vehicles is extremely high, with nearly 20 bolts needing to be removed for a single tire. Currently, the bolts are typically removed manually using handheld pneumatic / electric wrenches. These handheld pneumatic / electric wrenches weigh approximately 50 catties, are heavy, and generate significant vibration and impact, making them prone to slipping and breaking, potentially damaging the wrench and the removed tire bolts and nuts, and also affecting maintenance efficiency.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN202222313005.2 discloses an assistive mechanism for loading and unloading tire bolts on a loader. Specifically, it discloses a support device, a rocker arm, and a wrench holder. The support device includes casters, the rocker arm is hinged to the support device, and one end of the rocker arm is fixed to the support device via a telescopic member. The other end of the rocker arm is hinged to the wrench holder. Using this invention, a heavy-duty pneumatic wrench is clamped onto the wrench holder, allowing the operator to load and unload tire bolts by holding the heavy-duty pneumatic wrench. The weight of the heavy-duty pneumatic wrench is borne by the assistive mechanism, reducing the operator's labor intensity. Furthermore, the rotation of the casters and the up-and-down swing of the rocker arm allow the operator to easily change their operating position, further reducing physical exertion. In addition, the assistive mechanism can absorb or dissipate the reaction force generated by the tire bolts during loading and unloading, improving safety. However, this assistive mechanism for loading and unloading tire bolts on a loader has the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1) The alignment of the handheld heavy-duty pneumatic wrench with the nut is achieved by swinging the rocker arm up and down and moving the support device, which makes the alignment operation difficult;

[0005] 2) The support device moves via casters and lacks a braking mechanism, resulting in poor stability when installing or removing nuts;

[0006] 3) When using it, the heavy-duty pneumatic wrench is directly mounted on the rocker arm, resulting in poor shock absorption. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an auxiliary device for assembling and disassembling tire nuts of open-pit mining engineering vehicles that is easy to align, efficient, and stable.

The lifting seat is raised and lowered on the mobile frame and is provided with an elastic component between it and the mobile frame. One end of the horizontal swing arm is located on the lifting seat, and the wrench mounting bracket is located at the other end of the horizontal swing arm.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0011] The elastic component includes a lifting spring and a transmission component. One end of the lifting spring is connected to the movable frame, and the other end is connected to the lifting seat through the transmission component.

[0012] The transmission component is a transmission chain, and the movable frame is equipped with a sprocket, with the transmission chain wound around the sprocket.

[0013] The bottom of the mobile frame is provided with a connecting part, the lifting spring is connected to the connecting part, and the sprocket is located at the top of the mobile frame.

[0014] The braking mechanism includes a brake wheel and a brake handle. The brake wheel is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the movable frame and located in front of the movable wheel to abut against the brake wheel. The rotation axis of the brake wheel is eccentrically mounted. The movable frame is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove. The lower part of the brake handle is mounted on the brake wheel or the rotation axis, and the upper part slides in the arc-shaped guide groove. The center of the arc of the arc-shaped guide groove coincides with the rotation axis.

[0015] The movable frame has omnidirectional casters on the front side of its bottom and fixed rubber casters on the rear side, with the brake wheel located in front of the fixed rubber casters.

[0016] The horizontal swing arm is provided with an elastic seat, and the wrench is mounted on the elastic seat.

[0017] The elastic seat includes a pin and a shock-absorbing spring. The pin is inserted into the horizontal swing arm and the wrench mounting bracket is fixed to the top of the pin.
