Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0015] The features and illustrative embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without requiring some of these specific details. The following description of embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples of it. This utility model is by no means limited to any specific arrangements and methods set forth below, but covers any improvements, substitutions, and modifications to the structure, method, and apparatus without departing from the spirit of this utility model. In the accompanying drawings and the following description, well-known structures and techniques are not shown to avoid unnecessarily obscuring this utility model.
[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of this utility model and the features thereof can be combined with each other, and the various embodiments can be referenced and cited from each other.
[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0018] This utility model relates to a structure in which an engine drives a propeller to rotate via a steering pipe assembly, a transmission shaft system, and a gearbox, and a ducted drive system is installed. It is applicable to ducted power units where the engine drives the propeller via a gearbox, and can be used in applications such as airship power systems.
[0019] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this utility model provides an installation structure for ducts and gearboxes, including: a gearbox lifting platform and a movable base 4. The gearbox lifting platform includes a lifting plate 1, a lead screw 2, and a lifting plate support 3. The lifting plate 1 is securely connected to the gearbox, and the lifting plate 1 can rotate. Screw 2 is threadedly connected to the lower center of lifting plate 1; The lifting plate support 3 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 2, and the lifting plate support 3 is located below the lifting plate 1; The movable base 4 is located below the duct.
[0020] In one embodiment, the movable base 4 includes a support member and a caster wheel. The support member is arranged horizontally and vertically, and the caster wheel is welded to the bottom of the vertical support member.
[0021] In one embodiment, the support member is a square steel, and the movable base 4 further includes an angle member located at the connection between the transverse support member and the longitudinal support member.
[0022] The support components are welded and secured to the angle brackets.
[0023] The gearbox lifting platform is connected to the gearbox by bolts.
[0024] The lifting plate and its support are made of Q235 carbon structural steel.
[0025] The lifting plate 1 securely connects to the gearbox, ensuring a tight connection between the gearbox and the lifting plate 1 during installation. This improves upon the traditional hoisting or manual support methods, allowing the lifting plate 1 to complete the installation and reducing resource consumption.
[0026] The lead screw 2 controls the lifting of the jacking plate 1 and the gearbox, ensuring the positioning of the gearbox and the transmission shaft system. The traditional method of positioning the gearbox and transmission shaft system by hoisting is changed to mechanical lifting control, which improves the positioning accuracy and ensures that the target position can be accurately reached for installation.
[0027] The lifting plate support 3 is used to reliably support the lifting plate 1 and the lead screw 2, thereby supporting the gearbox and its transmission shaft system, ensuring the stability and reliability of the whole during the assembly process, and avoiding the instability and swaying of traditional hoisting methods.
[0028] The movable base mounting structure 4 consists of square steel, angle brackets, and casters. It spatially fixes the lifting components and provides support for the gearbox, drive shaft, duct, and engine end. The square steel and angle brackets are welded together to create space for assembly. The casters are welded to the bottom of the square steel to accommodate multiple adjustments during installation. The mounting structure is adjustable to accommodate ducts of different sizes, allowing for the docking and installation of the gearbox with the duct, drive shaft, engine end, fan blades, etc.
[0029] The specific implementation process is as follows: 1. Securely connect the gearbox 6 to the lifting plate 1 in the entire power transmission system. The lifting plate 1 and the gearbox are connected by 8 process bolts. Since the gearbox is not easy to move, the lifting plate 1 is equipped with a rotation and fixing function to facilitate alignment with the gearbox holes. Disconnect the gearbox from the steering tube assembly and the drive shaft system. One side of the steering tube assembly and the drive shaft system is connected to the engine and steering bracket. The gearbox side is adjusted by adjusting the gearbox lifting platform, including the lifting plate 1, the lead screw 2, and the lifting plate support 3, to ensure the shaft system is in place. Then, place the duct on the movable base 4.
[0030] 2. Adjust the gearbox lifting platform to align the gearbox and duct to their theoretical positions. Take the extended drive shaft 7 and the rear steering pipe, secure one end to the gearbox, and connect the other end to the installation position inside the duct using process bolts after comparing the positions.
[0031] 3. Secure the gearbox to the duct using the fixed bracket 5 (6 locations). After the engine output shaft is installed, move the movable base mounting structure 4 to the installation position. Adjust the installation position using the gearbox lifting platform. Use the process of removing one process bolt diagonally and installing one mounting bolt to secure the long drive shaft inside the duct, the rear steering pipe, and the engine output shaft system together with torque.
[0032] 4. Remove the bolts connecting the gearbox lifting platform and the gearbox, take out the blades, and tighten the connection between the blade hub and the gearbox.
[0033] 5. The duct and gearbox mounting structure allows for multiple height adjustments and movements during installation, enabling better control over the precise and efficient connection between the gearbox and the drive shaft system, steering pipe assembly, duct, fixed bracket, and engine end. After installation, the gearbox and gearbox lifting platform are disassembled, and the tooling is moved to the tooling storage area for better subsequent blade and hub installation.
[0034] The above description merely illustrates the embodiments of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, any parts of this utility model not described in detail are conventional techniques.
