[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3The present invention provides a technical solution: an installation and handling tool for an aircraft engine, including a vehicle body 1, with a movable module 2 symmetrically arranged at its bottom, the movable module 2 including wheels 21 driven to rotate by a servo motor;
[0023] Hydraulic jacking rod assemblies are respectively installed on both sides of the top of the vehicle body 1. The hydraulic jacking rod assembly consists of two main hydraulic jacking rods 3 that are symmetrically rotated and parallel to each other; a connector 4 is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic end of the main hydraulic jacking rod 3.
[0024] A secondary hydraulic jacking rod 5 is hinged to the vehicle body 1. The secondary hydraulic jacking rod 5 is rotatably connected to the housing of the main hydraulic jacking rod 3, and the two secondary hydraulic jacking rods 5 on the hydraulic jacking rod assembly are distributed adjacent to each other.
[0025] Specifically, through symmetrically arranged hydraulic jacking rod assemblies and a unique hinged structure—that is, the main hydraulic jacking rod 3 and the auxiliary hydraulic jacking rod 5 are rotatably connected—stable support and flexible extension / retraction of the jacking mechanism are achieved. This allows the equipment to accurately insert the connector 4 (with a T-shaped cross-section) into the engine lifting hole, completing fully automated gripping and lifting, significantly improving the transfer efficiency and automation level of the engine assembly line.
[0026] As a further embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a side wing accommodating shell 6 fixedly installed on the top of the vehicle body 1, and the side wing accommodating shell 6 is provided with a through groove for the main hydraulic extension rod 3 and the auxiliary hydraulic extension rod 5 to extend out.
[0027] By setting the side wing accommodating shell 6 and the perforated slot, a safe housing space is provided for the hydraulic jacking rod assembly, effectively preventing dust, oil and other pollutants in the workshop environment from entering the hinge point and piston rod surface, reducing the failure rate, extending the equipment life, and making the equipment shape more regular, thus reducing safety hazards.
[0028] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a groove 100 is formed between the two side wing cavities 6, and multiple inclined trapezoidal plates 61 with sidewall contact are installed on the fixing plate between the side wing cavities 6 and the top of the vehicle body 1. The groove 100 structure achieves lightweight design while ensuring overall strength, which helps to reduce the energy consumption of AGV operation. The multiple inclined trapezoidal plates 61 act as reinforcing ribs, significantly enhancing the rigidity and torsional resistance at the connection between the side wing cavities 6 and the top of the vehicle body 1, ensuring that the equipment can effectively resist deformation when bearing a heavy engine, and ensuring the smooth and safe operation and lifting process.
[0029] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a window is centrally located on the vehicle body 1, and a ventilation grille 7 is fixedly installed inside the window. This provides an effective air convection channel, which can dissipate the heat generated by internal components such as the electrical control cabinet and hydraulic pump station in a timely manner, preventing overheating damage to the components and ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of the equipment under high-intensity work.
[0030] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the number of mobile modules 2 is at least six, and each mobile module 2 includes at least a control compartment 22. Furthermore, the mobile module 2 includes a base 23, with wheels 21 rotatably mounted on opposite sides of the base 23; the servo motors include a first servo motor 241 and a second servo motor 242, both connected to the two wheels 21 via chain drive. The first servo motor 241 and the second servo motor 242 are relatively distributed. Differential rotation is achieved by driving the two wheels 21 through the first servo motor 241 and the second servo motor 242.
[0031] Specifically, the distributed design of each module's built-in control compartment allows each module to function as an independent control unit, achieving standardized and modular design and ensuring ease of maintenance. A first servo motor 241 and a second servo motor 242 drive two relatively distributed wheels 21 respectively, connected by chain transmission, giving the AGV stronger driving force and more precise control performance, enabling it to move forward, backward, and turn flexibly, adapting to narrow workshop environments. The aforementioned mobile module 2 has an adjustment accuracy of ±2mm and a maximum driving speed of 30m / min. Furthermore, the aforementioned mobile module 2 can realize control functions such as driving at a leftward tilt of 45°±15°, a rightward tilt of 45°±15°, lateral movement, and 360° turning on the spot.
[0032] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
