[0003] When the bearing end cap is small in size and weight, two workers can support it from both sides before installing and removing it. However, when the end cap is large in size and weight, manual operation is difficult. Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent a tooling fixture that facilitates the installation and removal of bearings. Utility Model Content

[0004] To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of bearing end caps, this application provides an auxiliary disassembly tool for bearing end caps.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses an auxiliary disassembly tool for bearing end caps.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bearing end cover auxiliary disassembly fixture includes a base 3, which is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 11 on one side of the bearing seat 1; a support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the base 3, the rotation axis of the support rod 4 is vertically set, a lifting rod 5 is hinged to the upper end of the support rod 4, the rotation axis of the lifting rod 5 is horizontal, a lifting hole 51 is opened at the end of the lifting rod 5, and a locking element for locking the lifting rod 5 is provided on the support rod 4.

[0026] When performing disassembly and assembly operations, the upper hook of the hand chain hoist must first be hooked and fixed with the preset lifting hole 51. Then, the lifting eye bolt is threadedly connected to the uppermost threaded hole 21 of the end cover 2. Finally, the lower hook of the hand chain hoist is hooked with the lifting eye bolt to build a stable lifting auxiliary structure, which provides effective mechanical support for the disassembly and assembly of the end cover 2, significantly reduces the intensity of manual operation and improves the safety of operation.

[0027] Meanwhile, the device, with its rotatable support rod 4 and lifting rod 5, allows for flexible adjustment of the lifting point's spatial position. When dealing with bearing end caps 2 of different sizes and specifications, simply rotating the support rod 4 to change its extension angle or adjusting the rotation amplitude of the lifting rod 5 can align the lifting center of gravity with the geometric center of the end cap 2. This ensures that the end cap 2 remains balanced during disassembly and assembly, preventing damage to components due to uneven force, thus expanding the device's applicability and meeting diverse disassembly and assembly needs.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper end of the support block is integrally formed with a connecting block 41, and two connecting plates 42 are integrally formed on the connecting block 41. A rotating area is formed between the two connecting plates 42. The end of the lifting rod 5 is located in the rotating area, and the end of the lifting rod 5 is hinged to the two connecting plates 42 by a rotating pin.

[0029] The locking element is a positioning pin 6. Multiple first insertion holes 421 are correspondingly provided on the two connecting plates 42, and a second insertion hole 52 is provided at the end of the lifting rod 5. The positioning pin 6 passes through the first insertion holes 421 and the second insertion holes 52 to lock the position of the lifting rod 5. In fact, there are three first insertion holes 421. When the second insertion hole 52 corresponds to the three first insertion holes 421, the rotation angle of the lifting rod 5 is 90 degrees, 100 degrees, and 110 degrees.

[0030] By selectively engaging the positioning pin 6 with the first insertion hole 421 at different positions, the lifting rod 5 can be securely locked at multiple preset angle positions. Specifically, the positioning pin 6 forms a rigid connection with the corresponding first insertion hole 421 through axial insertion, and the mechanical limiting effect of the pin-hole engagement restricts the rotational freedom of the lifting rod 5, thereby achieving precise locking of its spatial position. By changing the engagement combination of the positioning pin 6 and the first insertion hole 421, the angle state of the lifting rod 5 can be flexibly switched.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower end of the base 3 forms a mounting portion 31 that connects to the mounting base 11 of the bearing seat 1, and the upper end of the base 3 forms a rotating portion 32. A reinforcing portion 33 is formed at the connection between the mounting portion 31 and the rotating portion 32 to improve the structural strength of the base 3. The lower end of the support rod 4 is rotatably engaged with the rotating portion 32 via a bearing.

[0032] Locking pins 7 are inserted into two pre-drilled holes 13. The mounting portion 31 has locking holes 311 that engage with the locking pins 7. The locking pins 7 have threaded portions 71, and a first nut 8 is threaded onto them. The first nut 8 is located outside the connecting portion 12. The first nut 8 rotates and abuts against the connecting portion 12, thus fixing the locking pins 7. A second nut 9 and a locking nut 10 are also threaded onto the locking pins 7. The second nut 9 cooperates with the first nut 8 to lock the locking pins 7. The first nut 8 and the second nut 9 are distributed on both sides of the connecting portion 12. The locking nut 10 abuts against the mounting portion 31 of the base 3, causing the mounting portion 31 to be tightly abutted against the connecting portion 12. A washer 20 is also fitted onto the locking pins 7, located between the mounting portion 31 and the connecting portion 12.

[0033] The locking pin 7 passes through the reserved holes 13 on the bearing housing 1 in sequence along the axial direction and forms an insertion fit with the locking hole 311 preset on the mounting plate. The rigid connection between the bearing housing 1 and the mounting plate is achieved by the double nut fastening mechanism. At the same time, the locking nut 10 applies pressure along the axial direction through the threaded engagement with the locking pin 7, so that the mounting part 31 of the base 3 and the connecting part 12 are tightly abutted, thereby fixing the base 3.

[0034] The implementation principle of the bearing end cover auxiliary disassembly fixture in this application embodiment is as follows: When performing disassembly and assembly operations, first hook the upper end hook of the hand chain hoist to the lifting hole 51 on the lifting rod 5, then form a threaded connection with the threaded hole 21 on the end cover 2 through the lifting eye bolt, and then hook the lower side hook of the hand chain hoist to the lifting eye bolt. The end cover 2 is supported by the lifting method, thereby assisting the subsequent disassembly operation of the end cover 2.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
