Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical tooling technology, and in particular to an installation tool for an intermediate bearing of a reactor stirring shaft. Background Technology
[0002] The stirring shaft of the ultra-high pressure polymerization reactor is relatively long. During operation, the stirring shaft may vibrate, which can cause mechanical stress, potentially damaging the equipment, affecting the reaction process, and even disrupting continuous production. Furthermore, prolonged vibration can lead to metal fatigue, causing fractures or even serious accidents. In terms of energy consumption, vibration increases the load on the motor, leading to higher energy consumption. This, in turn, increases maintenance frequency, production interruptions, and reduces efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, the stirring shaft was fixed in sections to prevent damage to the equipment caused by its swinging motion during operation. The sectioned fixing involves installing an intermediate bearing on the stirring shaft, with the outer side of the intermediate bearing secured to the inner wall of the reactor via a support rod. To facilitate the removal and installation of the stirring shaft, the length of the support rod needs to be adjustable. Since the reactor is enclosed, the support rod cannot be controlled electrically or pneumatically. Currently, the intermediate bearing is adjusted directly and then moved from top to bottom. During this movement, the intermediate bearing may tilt, leading to improper positioning or misalignment of the intermediate bearing on the stirring shaft, causing the stirring shaft to collide with the inner wall of the ultra-high pressure polymerization reactor and resulting in damage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides an installation tool for the intermediate bearing of a reactor stirring shaft, to solve the technical problem of improper positioning or locking misalignment of the intermediate bearing in existing stirring shafts.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support member and the support portion are in clearance fit, and the support portion is provided with a limiting member for limiting the support member.
[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting member is sleeved on the body, and the limiting member is provided on both sides of the support member.

The drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0025] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present invention.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides an installation tool for an intermediate bearing of a reactor stirring shaft, comprising a body 1 and a connector 2. The body 1 has a connecting part 11 and a holding part 12. The connecting part 11 has a slender rod-like structure and can pass through a pre-drilled hole in the side wall of the reactor. The holding part 12 is arranged opposite to the connecting part 11. In use, the holding part 12 is located outside the reactor, making it convenient for the operator to grip and apply force.
[0027] Connector 2 is connected to connector 11. The connection between connector 2 and connector 11 can be achieved by bolts, welding, or by a threaded hole in connector 11 and an external thread on connector 2. The end of connector 2 furthest from connector 11 is a fastening head. The structure of the fastening head matches the type of the intermediate bearing fixing bolt and can be used to tighten or loosen the bolt; for example, it can be a sleeve. The installation tool provided in this application has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can complete the installation and fixing of the intermediate bearing without directly entering the reactor, significantly improving installation efficiency and ensuring operational safety.
[0028] A support portion 13 is provided between the holding portion 12 and the connecting portion 11 of the main body 1. The holding portion 12, the support portion 13 and the connecting portion 11 are integrally formed. The support portion 13 is covered with a support member 3 for supporting the main body 1. The outer diameter of the support member 3 matches the diameter of the through hole.
[0029] In some embodiments, the support 13 is cylindrical and can rotate together with the body 1, and the outer contour of the support 3 matches the perforations provided on the side wall of the reactor. The support 3 can also be semi-circular, with an arc-shaped support channel provided on it.
[0030] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the support member 3 is clearance-fitted with the outer contour of the support portion 13, so that the support member 3 remains stationary during the rotation of the body 1, thereby providing stable and reliable radial support for the rotating body 1 through the stationary support member 3. To further prevent the support member 3 from moving axially along the support portion 13 during operation, a limiting member 4 is provided on the support portion 13 for limiting the support member 3. The limiting member 4 is fixedly connected to the support portion 13, which can effectively constrain the axial degree of freedom of the support member 3, ensuring that it always performs the support function in the predetermined position, and ensuring the safety and stability of the entire installation process.
[0031] The limiting member 4 can be a boss provided outside the support part 13, or it can be a limiting screw inserted into the support part 13. The limiting member 4 can also be sleeved outside the support part 13, as long as it can axially limit the support part 13. For example, the limiting member 4 can be a snap ring, a lock nut, or a shaft retaining ring.
[0032] In some embodiments, limiting members 4 are provided on both sides of the support member 3 along the axial direction of the body 1. The limiting members 4 are fixedly connected to the support part 13 and rotate together with the body 1. The limiting members 4 and the support member 3 are clearance-fitted, which makes a small gap exist between the rotating limiting members 4 and the stationary support member 3. This effectively prevents the support member 3 from axially moving, while ensuring that the body 1 and the limiting members 4 can rotate freely. The support member 3 remains stationary under the constraint of the reactor perforation, thereby continuously providing stable radial support.
[0033] In some embodiments, since the support member 3 needs to remain stationary to provide stable support, while the limiting member 4 rotates with the body 1, to avoid interference or friction between the rotating limiting member 4 and the reactor wall, the outer diameter of the limiting member 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the support member 13. In other words, the outer contour of the limiting member 4 should be more inward relative to the outer contour of the support member 13, that is, the outer contour of the limiting member 4 should be closer to the central axis of the body 1 than the outer contour of the support member 13. When the installation tool is in working condition, only the outer wall of the stationary support member 3 contacts the perforated inner wall of the reactor and provides support.
[0034] The support component 3 can be made of rigid plastic, which can both support the main body 1 and provide a certain degree of elasticity, preventing scratches on the perforated surface of the reactor. For example, it can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0035] In some embodiments, the fixed connection between the limiting member 4 and the support portion 13 can be achieved in various ways. A locking hole can be provided on the limiting member 4, through which a bolt passes to connect with the support portion 13, thereby fixing the limiting member 4. The locking hole is arranged radially along the limiting member 4. Alternatively, the limiting member 4 can be designed as a clamp, directly fitted onto the outside of the support portion 13. The clamp can be designed as an elastic open retaining ring, such as an E-type retaining ring, or as a non-elastic sleeve that needs to be locked with bolts. The clamp, through its own structural characteristics or locking force, grips the support portion 13, thereby achieving efficient axial limiting of the support member 3.
[0036] In some embodiments, a handle 5 is installed on the gripping part 12 to facilitate rotation of the main body 1. The connection between the handle 5 and the gripping part 12 is flexible and varied; it can be a threaded connection for easy disassembly and replacement, or it can be manufactured using a one-piece molding process to achieve higher structural strength and connection reliability. The handle 5 is perpendicular to the gripping part 12, and after being connected to the main body 1, it forms a T-shape. This design allows the operator to apply force with both hands, significantly increasing torque output, improving the efficiency and accuracy of bearing installation, and also helping to maintain the stability of the tool during operation and reduce operator fatigue.
[0037] In some embodiments, the body 1 is a telescopic rod, which is typically composed of multiple rod sections connected by nesting through threads, pin holes, or clamps, allowing for flexible adjustment and reliable locking of the overall length. This enhances the versatility and adaptability of the installation tool, enabling it to match reactors of different depths, capacities, and specifications by adjusting its length, effectively solving the compatibility issues of specialized tools caused by differences in equipment dimensions. Operators can complete the installation of intermediate bearings for the stirring shafts of various reactors using only a single tool, significantly reducing equipment maintenance costs and improving installation efficiency and operational convenience.
[0038] By embedding and supporting the support member 3 within the perforation of the reactor, this component effectively transmits the telescopic rod and its operating torque to the reactor, thus providing stable radial and axial support throughout the installation process. This design not only ensures the overall rigidity of the installation tool in its extended state, effectively preventing swaying and vibration during operation, but also reduces the burden on operators by bearing the load of the reactor wall, while ensuring the installation alignment accuracy of the intermediate bearing of the stirring shaft, ultimately achieving safe, efficient, and precise installation operations.
[0039] Multiple fastening positions are provided at the intermediate bearing outside the stirring shaft of the reactor. When fastening, multiple installation tools can be inserted into the corresponding fastening positions to fasten the intermediate bearing from multiple directions at the same time, which can ensure the accurate positioning of the intermediate bearing.
[0040] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
