Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tool for installing the large center pin of a torpedo car for transporting molten iron, belonging to the technical field of torpedo car maintenance equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The 320-ton torpedo ladle car used for transporting molten iron in metallurgical enterprises is a large-scale transport equipment. Its large capacity and stable operation make it a highly efficient molten iron transport tool. During the maintenance of the torpedo ladle car, the installation of the large center pin requires one worker to stand below the maintenance trench. Due to the trench's height limitation, only one person can lift the large center pin in a semi-squatting position, raising it to the required height so that the head of the large center pin is higher than the center boss of the upper center plate. Then, a certain angle is turned so that the upper boss of the large center pin aligns with the slot on the upper center plate. Force is then applied to lower the large center pin, thus completing the locking and installation with the upper center plate. The large center pin is 1151 mm long and weighs 41 kg. The suction of the grease significantly increases the thrust required for installation, making the process time-consuming and labor-intensive. The confined space further complicates the process, affecting the efficiency of torpedo ladle car maintenance. Therefore, it is essential to design a user-friendly installation tool to improve the existing installation process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a tool for installing the large center pin of a torpedo car for transporting molten iron. This tool can easily install the large center pin of the torpedo car, and the installation process is quick and labor-saving, saving maintenance time, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution to the above technical problem is: A tool for installing a large center pin on a torpedo ladle car for transporting molten iron includes a support base, a housing, a worm gear, a worm shaft gear, a lead screw, transmission nuts, a lifting cylinder, and a top plate. The support base is a flat plate. The lower end of the housing is vertically welded to the plane of the support base. The lower side of the housing has an opening, at which the worm gear is installed. The worm shaft gear meshes with the worm gear in the lower part of the housing's inner cavity. The lower end of the lead screw is fixedly installed at the center of the worm shaft gear. Two transmission nuts are fitted onto the upper part of the lead screw, meshing with the lead screw. The lifting cylinder is cylindrical. The circumferences of the two transmission nuts are interference-fitted with the two ends of the inner wall of the lifting cylinder. The outer wall of the lifting cylinder is clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the housing. The top plate is integrally connected to the lifting cylinder.

[0005] The aforementioned torpedo ladle car center pin installation tool for transporting molten iron includes a square box welded to the side opening at the lower part of the sleeve. The square box has shaft holes on both sides. A worm gear shaft is fixed to the center of the worm gear, and both ends of the worm gear shaft are respectively embedded in the shaft holes on both sides of the square box. The worm gear shaft and the shaft holes are connected by bearings. One end of the worm gear shaft extends out of the square box and is welded to a hexagonal head. The aforementioned torpedo car center pin installation tool for transporting molten iron has a lead screw support plate at the lower part of the sleeve, a rotating shaft hole on the upper surface of the lead screw support plate, and the lower end of the lead screw is embedded in the rotating shaft hole. The lower end of the lead screw is connected to the rotating shaft hole through a bearing.

[0006] The aforementioned torpedo car center pin installation tool for transporting molten iron has a U-shaped top plate with a screw connection hole at its center. The upper end of the screw is embedded in the screw connection hole, and the upper end of the screw is connected to the screw connection hole via a bearing.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The lower part of the sleeve of this utility model is equipped with a worm gear structure. The worm gear shaft end is connected to a hexagonal shaft, and the worm gear can be rotated using an electric wrench or a manual crank. The worm is connected to a lead screw, and the worm gear can drive the worm to rotate in the vertical direction, which in turn drives the lead screw to rotate. The inner wall of the lifting cylinder is welded to the transmission nut, and the transmission nut meshes with the lead screw. Since the lifting cylinder cannot rotate, the lead screw can drive the transmission nut and the lifting cylinder to move up and down. The sliding groove is along the length of the sleeve, and the sliders on both sides of the lifting cylinder can slide in the sliding groove. The sliders and the sliding groove have the effect of restraining the lifting cylinder and the transmission nut from rotating with the lead screw. The top plate is fixed to the upper end of the lifting cylinder, and the large center pin of the torpedo tank car is placed on the top plate. The lifting cylinder pushes the top plate to lift the large center pin of the torpedo tank car upward, completing the installation operation.

[0008] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to use. It can easily install the large center pin of the torpedo tank car. The installation process is quick and labor-saving, saving maintenance time, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and improving maintenance efficiency. Attached Figure Description
