Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a disassembly tool for the inner oil seal of the rear retaining plate of a subway axle box bearing. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, all subway axle box bearings in my country are maintenance-free, sealed double-row tapered roller bearings. During operation, in addition to bearing downward pressure, these bearings also need to support the combined torque generated by the bending deformation of the axle and the turning of the vehicle. The stress generated by the operating load is relatively high in the rear retaining ring or the journal portion near the rear retaining ring. The inner oil seal 2 and the rear retaining ring 1 are connected, with the inner diameter of the inner oil seal 2 and the outer diameter of the rear retaining ring 3 being an interference fit. The inner oil seal 2 is press-fitted onto the rear retaining ring 1 (see...). Figure 1 Afterwards, the two cannot be directly separated. After the bearing is used, the rear bumper 1 can be reused, but the inner oil seal 2 needs to be removed from the rear bumper 1. Currently, most methods for removing the inner oil seal use a heating method, which involves placing the rear bumper and the inner oil seal assembly into an induction furnace and heating them, using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to remove the inner oil seal. This heating method is time-consuming and incurs high labor costs. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0009] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0010] Please see Figures 1 to 7b The present invention relates to a disassembly fixture for the inner oil seal of the rear retaining of a subway axle box bearing. The rear retaining 1, from front to back, includes a front ring 11, a middle ring plate 12, and a rear ring 13. The outer diameter of the front ring 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the rear ring 13. The outer diameter of the middle ring plate 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the rear ring 13, and the inner surface of the middle ring plate 12 is higher than the outer surface of the top surface. The axial section of the inner oil seal 2 includes an inner ring 21, an outer ring 22, and a bottom ring plate 20 connected between the bottom of the inner ring 21 and the bottom of the outer ring 22, forming a U-shape. The height of the inner ring 21 of the inner oil seal 2 is greater than the height of the outer ring 22 of the inner oil seal 2. The width of the bottom ring plate 20 of the inner oil seal 2 is greater than the width of the inner surface of the middle ring plate 12 of the rear retaining 1. The inner ring 21 of the inner oil seal 2 is interference-fitted onto the front ring 11 of the rear retaining 1, so that the bottom ring plate 20 of the inner oil seal 2 sits on the inner surface of the middle ring plate 12 of the rear retaining 1.
[0011] This utility model discloses a disassembly fixture for the inner oil seal of the rear retaining wall of a subway axle box bearing, comprising a fixture sleeve 3, a support mechanism, a support mechanism, and a flat fixture 6; wherein... The inner diameter of the tooling sleeve 3 is adapted to the outer diameter of the middle ring plate 12 of the rear stop 1, and the height of the tooling sleeve 3 is greater than the total height of the rear stop 1; three insertion holes 31 are evenly distributed radially around the circumference at 2 / 3 of the height of the tooling sleeve 3; three slots 32 are opened on the bottom surface of the tooling sleeve 3, which correspond one-to-one with the three insertion holes 31; the tooling sleeve 3 is fitted over the middle ring plate 12 of the rear stop 1. The support mechanism includes three support blocks 4A and a connecting ring 4B; each support block 4A is basically rectangular and its width is greater than the sum of the thickness of the tooling sleeve 3 and the top width of the middle ring plate 12 of the rear stop 1. The inner and outer end faces of the support block 4A are both arc surfaces concentric with the tooling sleeve 3. The bottom of the inner end face of the support block 4A extends inward with a flange 40, making the inner end face of the support block 4A L-shaped; a connecting ring 4B is opened on the outer side of the top surface of the support block 4A. The sleeve 3 has a concentric arc-shaped groove 41 with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the tooling sleeve 3. The three support blocks 4A are inserted into the three insertion holes 31 of the tooling sleeve 3 in a corresponding manner, and the flanges 40 of the three support blocks 4A extend into the gap between the bottom surface of the bottom ring plate 20 of the inner oil seal 2 and the top surface of the middle ring plate 12 of the rear stop 1. The connecting ring 4B is embedded in the arc-shaped groove 41 of the three support blocks 4A, so that the three support blocks 4A are connected as one unit through the connecting ring 4B. The support mechanism includes three support blocks 5, each of which is basically rectangular and its width is greater than the sum of the thickness of the tooling sleeve 3, the width of the middle ring plate 12 of the rear stop 1, and the thickness of the rear ring 13. The inner and outer end faces of the support blocks 5 are both arc surfaces concentric with the tooling sleeve 3. A limiting convex arc 51 with an inner diameter that matches the outer diameter of the tooling sleeve 3 is provided on the outer end of the top surface of the support blocks 5. A T-shaped handle 52 in the shape of a horizontal line is provided on the outer end face of the support blocks 5. The bottom surface of the handle 52 is higher than the bottom surface of the support blocks 5 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the support blocks 5. The three support blocks 5 are correspondingly arranged in the three slots 32 of the tooling sleeve 3 until the limiting convex arc 51 rests against the outer surface of the tooling sleeve 1, and there is a limiting distance h between the top surface of the support blocks 5 and the bottom surface of the rear ring 13 of the rear stop 1. The support mechanism plays the role of limiting the excessive descent of the rear stop 1, and the limiting distance h should meet the requirement of separation between the rear stop 1 and the inner oil seal 2. The flat fixture 6 is cylindrical with a stepped bottom surface that is lower on the inside and higher on the outside. The width of the outer bottom surface is adapted to the thickness of the front sleeve 11 of the rear stop 1. The flat fixture 6 is installed on the rear stop 1 with its bottom surface inserted into the top cavity of the front sleeve 11 of the rear stop 1 and its bottom surface in contact with the top surface of the front sleeve 11. The flat fixture 6 is in contact with the press head of the press.
[0012] The present invention relates to a tooling for disassembling the inner oil seal of the rear axle box bearing. In use, first, the tooling sleeve 3 is fitted over the middle ring plate 12 of the rear axle box 1. Then, three support blocks 5 are inserted into the three slots 32 of the tooling sleeve 3, one by one. Next, three support blocks 4A are inserted into the three insertion holes 31 of the tooling sleeve 3, one by one. Then, a connecting ring 4B is embedded in the arc-shaped grooves 41 of the three support blocks 4A, connecting the three support blocks 4A together. Finally, the hydraulic press is started, pressing the press onto the top surface of the flat tooling 6, pressing down on the rear axle box 1. Because the bottom of the inner oil seal 2 is supported by the flanges 40 of the three support blocks 4A, the inner oil seal 2 will not move down with the rear axle box 1. This causes the rear axle box 1 to move down relative to the inner oil seal 2, thereby disassembling the inner oil seal 2 from the rear axle box 1.
[0013] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also fall within the scope of the present invention and should be defined by the claims.
