They are widely used in fields with extremely high requirements for sealing and reliability, such as nuclear power, chemical industry, and shipbuilding. Mechanical products are assembled from many mechanical parts, and hydraulic fastening bolt assemblies are usually used to connect different mechanical parts.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN211693147U, which discloses an installation structure for hydraulic bolts used in steam turbines. The structure includes hydraulic bolts and two mating flanges with opposing bolt mounting holes on the two mating flanges. However, the existing installation positions for some hydraulic bolts are relatively narrow, making it difficult for operators to install them using the normal installation method. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary installation device for hydraulic fastening bolt assemblies to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an auxiliary installation device for a hydraulic fastening bolt assembly, including a rotating screw barrel 1 and a hydraulic nut 7 disposed inside the rotating screw barrel 1. A top plate 8 is provided inside the hydraulic nut 7. A connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating screw barrel 1 via a bearing 3. An installation groove is provided inside the connecting rod 4, and a second gear 5 is disposed inside the installation groove. A motor 6 is mounted on the surface of the connecting rod 4. The output shaft of the motor 6 passes through the surface of the connecting rod 4 and is fixedly connected to the second gear 5. A first gear 2 is meshed with the surface of the second gear 5. The first gear 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating screw barrel 1. The surface of the connecting rod 4... The fixed connection has two handles 9, and the first gear 2 is located between two bearings 3. When it is necessary to install the water pressure nut 7, insert the water pressure nut 7 into the interior of the rotating screw 1 so that the top plate 8 faces outward. Then hold the two handles 9 and place the rotating screw 1 at the screw rod. Then connect the motor 6 to the external power supply and start it. The motor 6 will rotate inside the mounting slot and drive the rotating screw 1 to rotate through the first gear 2. Because of the bearings 3, the connecting rod 4 will not rotate. By rotating the top plate 8 through the rotating screw 1, the top plate 8 can be screwed onto the surface of the screw rod, avoiding the need to manually tighten the top plate 8 in a narrow space.
[0024] In this embodiment, a rotating plate 10 is fixedly connected inside the rotating screw cylinder 1, and an infusion tube 14 is fixedly connected inside the rotating plate 10. The end of the infusion tube 14 facing the water pressure nut 7 is inserted into the infusion port of the water pressure nut 7 through a plug. A first quick connector 11 is provided inside the rotating plate 10. The first quick connector 11 is rotatably connected to the end of the infusion tube 14 away from the water pressure nut 7. The infusion tube 14 has a Z-shaped structure, and the first quick connector 11 is located at the axial center of the rotating plate 10. A connecting tube 12 is inserted into the end of the first quick connector 11 away from the rotating plate 10. A second quick connector 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting tube 12 away from the first quick connector 11. The second quick connector 13 is located on the connecting rod 4 away from the bearing 3. At one end, to facilitate the injection of liquid into the hydraulic nut 7 within a confined space, the rotating plate 10 rotates simultaneously with the rotating cylinder 1, causing the infusion tube 14 to rotate around the axis of the rotating plate 10. This allows the first quick connector 11 to remain in the same position for easy liquid injection. When liquid injection is required, an external infusion pump is inserted into the second quick connector 13, and liquid is directed into the connecting pipe 12. The liquid flows from the connecting pipe 12 into the infusion tube 14 and eventually into the hydraulic nut 7. As the liquid inside the hydraulic nut 7 accumulates, the top plate 8 pushes outward, causing the hydraulic nut 7 to stretch on the screw surface, resulting in a tighter connection.
[0025] In this embodiment, a guide rod 15 is slidably connected inside the rotating plate 10, and a bracket 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating plate 10. A tension spring 16 is wound around the surface of the guide rod 15, and both ends of the tension spring 16 are fixedly connected to the guide rod 15 and the bracket 17, respectively. A positioning hole is opened on the surface of the guide rod 15, and a limit pin 18 is provided inside the positioning hole. A limit plate 19 is fixedly connected to the side of the bracket 17 near the limit pin 18. The limit plate 19 and the limit pin 18 fit together. A magnet is provided inside the positioning hole to prevent the water pressure nut 7 from being aligned with the screw but not moving in place during rotation, thus failing to achieve thread connection. Next, after inserting the top plate 8 into the rotating screw cylinder 1, pull the limiting pin 18 out of the positioning hole, but do not remove it from the guide rod 15. Then, lock the limiting pin 18 onto the surface of the limiting plate 19. At this time, the tension spring 16 is under tension. Then, align the hydraulic nut 7 with the screw and press it. The hydraulic nut 7 will slide outward under force. The limiting pin 18 will be removed from the limiting plate 19 due to the sliding of the guide rod 15, and will be pulled into the positioning hole due to the magnetic attraction. This will loosen the limiting of the guide rod 15 at both ends. The tension spring 16 will exert force on the hydraulic nut 7 in the direction of the screw due to its elastic potential energy to help them connect to each other through the thread.
[0026] The use of this utility model involves the following steps:
[0027] S1: When it is necessary to install the water pressure nut 7, insert the water pressure nut 7 into the interior of the rotating screw 1, so that the top plate 8 faces outward. Then hold the two handles 9 and place the rotating screw 1 at the screw rod. Then connect the motor 6 to the external power supply and start it. The motor 6 will rotate inside the mounting slot and drive the rotating screw 1 to rotate through the first gear 2. Because of the bearing 3, the connecting rod 4 will not rotate. By rotating the top plate 8 through the rotating screw 1, the top plate 8 can be screwed onto the surface of the screw rod, avoiding the need to manually tighten the top plate 8 in a narrow space.
[0028] S2: To facilitate the injection of liquid into the hydraulic nut 7 in a confined space, the rotating plate 10 rotates simultaneously with the rotating cylinder 1, causing the infusion tube 14 to rotate around the axis of the rotating plate 10. This allows the first quick connector 11 to remain in the same position for easy liquid injection. When liquid injection is required, an external infusion pump is inserted into the second quick connector 13, and liquid is directed into the connecting pipe 12. The liquid flows from the connecting pipe 12 into the infusion tube 14 and eventually into the hydraulic nut 7. As the liquid inside the hydraulic nut 7 accumulates, the top plate 8 pushes outward, causing the hydraulic nut 7 to stretch on the screw surface, resulting in a tighter connection.
[0029] S3: To prevent the hydraulic nut 7 from being aligned with the screw but remaining stationary during rotation and failing to achieve a threaded connection, after inserting the top plate 8 into the rotating screw cylinder 1, pull the limiting pin 18 out of the positioning hole, but do not remove it from the guide rod 15. Then, lock the limiting pin 18 onto the surface of the limiting plate 19. At this time, the tension spring 16 is under tension. Then, align the hydraulic nut 7 with the screw and press it down. The hydraulic nut 7 will slide outward under force. The limiting pin 18 will disengage from the limiting plate 19 due to the sliding of the guide rod 15, and will be drawn into the positioning hole due to the magnetic attraction. This will loosen the limiting of both ends on the guide rod 15. The tension spring 16 will exert force on the hydraulic nut 7 in the direction of the screw due to its elastic potential energy to help them achieve a threaded connection.
