Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine operation and maintenance technology, specifically a tool for removing broken threads from the connecting bolts of the pitch bearing and hub of a wind turbine generator set. Background Technology
[0002] The frequent breakage of the pitch bearing and hub connecting bolts poses a significant safety hazard to the unit's operation. The broken bolts need to be replaced promptly. However, the pitch bearing and hub connecting bolts are quite long and the bolt hole diameter is small, making it extremely difficult to remove the broken wires.
[0003] The traditional method for removing broken threads involves tapping a reverse thread hole at the broken bolt and then unscrewing the broken bolt using a thread removal tool. However, if the broken bolt of the pitch bearing and hub connecting bolt of the wind turbine is located at the bottom and the bolt hole diameter is small, it is difficult to tap the broken bolt. During the tapping process, the tapping tool is also prone to getting stuck on the bolt, making it even more difficult to remove the broken thread. Therefore, we propose a tooling for removing broken threads from the pitch bearing and hub connecting bolt of a wind turbine. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide a tooling for removing broken threads from the connecting bolts of the pitch bearing and hub of a wind turbine generator set. Through the design of a positioning sleeve, eccentric hole, and modular extension rod, it can be precisely adapted to narrow and deep hole environments, solving the problem that traditional methods are difficult to operate in small-diameter holes and at the bottom fracture location. At the same time, the use of a bidirectional cylindrical boss engagement and anti-slip guide structure significantly improves the success rate of broken thread removal and avoids secondary damage, effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tooling for removing broken threads from the connecting bolts of the pitch bearing and hub of a wind turbine generator set, comprising a positioning sleeve and a fixing rod;
[0006] Positioning sleeve: A cylindrical ring is fixed to the top of the outer side. An eccentric hole is opened on one side of the inside of the positioning sleeve. An extension rod is inserted into the eccentric hole. The bottom end of the extension rod is connected to the middle of the top surface of the fixed seat. The top end of the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the grip rod. The bottom end of the fixed rod is connected to the middle of the top surface of the connecting seat.
[0007] It also includes cylindrical bosses, of which there are two and are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom surface of the connecting seat.
[0008] The positioning sleeve is inserted into the bolt hole, and the top of the extension rod is installed in accordance with the drilling machine. The drilling machine is started to drive the fixed seat at the bottom of the extension rod to rotate and drill a hole in the top surface of the broken bolt. The cylindrical boss on the bottom surface of the connecting seat is inserted into the concave hole on the top surface of the broken bolt, and the handle is rotated to rotate and pick up the broken wire screw rod, and the broken bolt is slowly removed.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a locking block, a locking groove, and a limiting ring. There are two locking blocks, which are fixed at both ends of the outer side of the cylindrical ring. The limiting ring has locking grooves on both sides inside. The locking grooves are engaged with the locking blocks. The locking blocks are engaged in the locking grooves and work with the limiting ring to quickly position the positioning sleeve. This makes the two openings on the top surface of the broken bolt symmetrical.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a rod groove, an extension rod, and a handle. The rod groove is formed on the left side of the handle, and the extension rod is fixed on the right side of the handle. The right end of the extension rod is inserted into the rod groove. The extension rod on the surface of the handle is inserted into the rod groove to increase the torque of the handle rotation, making it easier to remove the broken bolt.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes locking bolts and mounting slots. The mounting slots are evenly distributed on the surface of the fixing seat. The locking bolts are installed in the threaded holes in the middle of the mounting slots. The locking bolts pass through the threaded holes in the middle of the mounting slots to fix the drill bit and prevent the drill bit from falling off.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a hand guard and a sponge sleeve. The hand guard is fixed to the right side of the grip bar, and there are two sponge sleeves, which are respectively fitted onto the two ends of the outer side of the grip bar. The fitted sponge sleeves, together with the hand guard, can increase the stability of the grip bar and prevent the hand from slipping and causing safety problems.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a placement groove and a handle. The placement groove is opened on one side of the top surface of the positioning sleeve, and a handle is fixed inside the placement groove. The handle inside the placement groove makes it convenient for personnel to lift and carry the positioning sleeve.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes an adhesive pad, which is bonded to the bottom surface of the limiting ring, and the adhesive pad can increase the stability of the limiting ring placement.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a sleeve, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the extension rod. The sleeve is slidably installed inside the eccentric hole. Fixing the sleeve on the outside of the extension rod can prevent the problem of displacement during the hole turning process.
[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning post, which has a sliding hole in the middle. The sliding hole in the middle of the positioning post is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixing rod. The positioning post can be locked inside the bolt hole to prevent uneven force when the rotating fixing rod rotates.
[0017] Furthermore, it also includes anti-slip rings, which are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the positioning sleeve. The anti-slip rings can increase the stability of the positioning sleeve during installation.
