Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0042] This utility model embodiment provides a pre-assembly fixture for rubber joints before pressing, such as... Figure 1a , Figure 1b , Figure 1c As shown, the pre-assembly fixture for the rubber node before pressing includes a base 3, a pressure cap 4, a first bolt 5, and a positioning cylinder 6; wherein:

[0043] Both the base 3 and the pressure cap 4 are arch-shaped structures with semi-circular grooves 7. The semi-circular grooves 7 have the same radius, so that when the base 3 and the pressure cap 4 are mated, the two semi-circular grooves 7 exactly form a central hole 8. The diameter of the central hole 8 can be 104mm. The central hole 8 is used to place the rubber node, and the base 3 and the pressure cap 4 surround the outer circumference of the rubber node. During processing, the base 3 and the pressure cap 4 must be fixed with the first bolt 5 before the central hole 8 is machined to ensure the roundness of the hole.

[0044] like Figure 2a , Figure 2b , Figure 2c As shown, a positioning cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the base 3 on the side opposite to the pressure cover 4. The positioning cylinder 6 is a cylindrical structure and can be welded to the base 3; the axis of the positioning cylinder 6 is aligned with the center of the pre-assembled tooling and is used to cooperate with the positioning groove of the press-fit tooling to achieve precise positioning.

[0045] like Figure 1b As shown, at least one end face of the cap 4 is provided with an alignment mark 41, which is used to indicate the gap position between the rubber body and the split body. The alignment mark 41 can be two radially extending oblique grooves along the central hole 8, which can be laser-processed. Along the radial direction of the central hole 8, the oblique grooves are collinear with the gap between the split body and the rubber body. Both end faces of the cap 4 can be provided with alignment marks 41, so that alignment can be performed through the alignment mark 41 on either end face during assembly, which is convenient to use and improves work efficiency.

[0046] One end of the first bolt 5 passes through the pressure cap 4 and is threaded to the base 3, thus fixing the pressure cap 4 and the base 3 together. The first bolt 5 is a hinged bolt, and the specification of the first bolt 5 is M16×140. Hinged bolts have the characteristics of high strength and reusability.

[0047] To facilitate the fixed connection of the pressure cap 4 to the base 3, each of the four corners of the pressure cap 4 is provided with a first through hole for the first bolt 5 to pass through; the base 3 is provided with a first threaded hole 31 corresponding to the first through hole; the first through hole is perpendicular to the center hole 8; one end of the first bolt 5 passes through the first through hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding first threaded hole 31.

[0048] like Figure 1b , Figure 2b as well as Figure 3 As shown, the base 3 has a base body 32 and two threaded connecting blocks 33; the two threaded connecting blocks 33 are fixedly installed on the end of the base body 32 away from the pressure cover 4, and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the positioning cylinder 6; each threaded connecting block 33 is provided with two first threaded holes 31; the base body 32 is provided with a second through hole 321 for connecting the corresponding first through hole and the first threaded hole 31. The threaded connecting block 33 can be a cuboid structure and is fixedly installed on the base body 32; the front of the threaded connecting block 33 is machined with a first threaded hole 31 that matches the first bolt 5, the specification of the first threaded hole 31 is M16, used to cooperate with the first bolt 5 to fix the base 3 and the pressure cover 4; the side of the threaded connecting block 33 is machined with a countersunk hole 331, the countersunk hole 331 penetrates the threaded connecting block 33, used to fasten the threaded connecting block 33 to the base body 32; as Figure 1c As shown, the base body 32 is provided with a second threaded hole 322 corresponding to the countersunk hole 331. The specification of the second threaded hole 322 can be an M10 threaded hole, which is used to fix the threaded connecting block 33. One end of the second bolt 34 passes through the countersunk hole 331 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 322, so as to fix the threaded connecting block 33 to the base body 32.

[0049] In order to position the threaded connecting block 33 on the base body 32 and improve the connection stability between the two, the base body 32 is provided with an opening groove 323 that matches the shape of the threaded connecting block 33. The opening groove 323 is a right-angle groove that matches the shape of the cuboid threaded connecting block 33. The threaded connecting block 33 is embedded in the opening groove 323, and the outer surface of the threaded connecting block 33 is coplanar with the outer surface of the base body 32. Positioning and limiting are achieved by the two sides of the threaded connecting block 33 fitting against the right-angle groove.

[0050] like Figure 1c and Figure 2c As shown, along the axial direction of the center hole 8, the second threaded hole 322 is located between the two first threaded holes 31; the second threaded hole 322 is perpendicular to both the first threaded holes 31 and the center hole 8.

[0051] The aforementioned pre-assembly fixture for pressing the rubber node connects the base 3 and the pressure cap 4 together using the first bolt 5. The base 3 and the pressure cap 4 can be separated by removing the first bolt 5. Both the base 3 and the pressure cap 4 are arc-shaped structures. The rubber node is pressed into the center hole 8 formed when the base 3 and the pressure cap 4 are connected, thereby realizing the pre-assembly of the rubber node. The positioning and installation are carried out by positioning the cylindrical part with the pressing equipment. The rubber node pre-assembled in the center hole 8 can be directly pressed into the traction rod by the pressing equipment. It has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient operation, and solves the problem that the existing split rubber nodes cannot be pressed smoothly.

[0052] The specific pre-assembly operation process using the aforementioned pre-assembly fixtures for pressing rubber nodes is as follows:

[0053] 1. Use a bench vise to clamp and secure base 3;

[0054] 2. Place the rubber node on base 3;

[0055] 3. Attach the pressure cap 4 to the rubber joint, and at the same time adjust the gap position angle between the rubber body and the split part of the rubber joint so that they are aligned with the alignment mark 41 on the pressure cap 4;

[0056] 4. Install and tighten the first bolt 5. During the tightening process, constantly check that the gap and angle between the rubber body and the split part meet the requirements.

[0057] 5. Place the pre-assembled rubber joints onto the joint holes of the traction rod body and press them in, as shown.

[0058] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the embodiments of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of this utility model fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
