Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alignment auxiliary frame technology, and in particular to an automatic bolt hole alignment auxiliary frame. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of rail transit equipment manufacturing and operation and maintenance, bolted connections are widely used as a core connection method in key links such as track beam splicing, bogie assembly, and car body module docking. The connection accuracy directly affects the safety and stability of train operation. As high-speed rail and subway rail transit vehicles develop towards high speed and lightweight, the modularity of components is constantly improving, the number of bolt holes is increasing, and the hole diameter tolerance is becoming more stringent. The traditional manual alignment method relies on workers' experience to manually adjust the position of components, which is not only time-consuming, but also prone to hole displacement due to uneven force, and may even cause uneven distribution of bolt preload, which can lead to fatigue cracks after long-term use.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, automatic bolt hole alignment technology has emerged. This technology combines mechanical structures with sensor control to achieve precise positioning and alignment of bolt holes, significantly improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. Against this backdrop, an automatic bolt hole alignment auxiliary frame has been proposed as a specialized tooling device for use in the bolt connection process of rail transit components. It is a device that uses a mechanical structure to automatically identify, guide, and align the bolt holes of the components to be connected, aiming to reduce manual intervention and ensure that the coaxiality of the holes meets assembly standards. The mechanical structure of the automatic bolt hole alignment auxiliary frame is designed around positioning, guiding, and driving functions. Its core components include a positioning reference module, a guiding adjustment mechanism, a driving component, and a locking device. In traditional technologies, rust and oil stains on the surface of components can cause the positioning pins to jam, reducing reliability. To overcome this drawback, existing technologies use high-strength alloy materials to make the guiding components to improve their deformation resistance and apply a polytetrafluoroethylene coating to the surface of the positioning pins to reduce friction. However, existing technologies cannot achieve multi-dimensional alignment, resulting in positioning errors and low practicality. Utility Model Content
