Description

  The present invention relates to a sleeve component extracting device for extracting a metal sleeve component inserted into a panel made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

  In recent years, for example, aircraft structural materials are changing from aluminum alloys to carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) for weight reduction, and CFRP composite materials are also being used in main wing portions of aircraft on which fuel is mounted. In this case, the main wing portion has a configuration in which a pair of CFRP plates are arranged above and below an aluminum alloy I-type reinforcing rib. As a means for joining the CFRP composite plate to the I-type reinforcing rib, for example, there is a configuration shown in FIG. . This is because a through-hole 101 is formed in the laminated portion of the CFRP composite plate 102 and the aluminum alloy 103, the end surface on the CFRP 102 side is tapered, and a stainless steel sleeve S is fitted into the hole 101, and used as a fastening member. The titanium fastener F is pushed in. Thereby, the liquid-tight structure inside the main wing portion can be achieved.

  By the way, since the sleeve used for the main wing of the aircraft as described above has a very thin thickness of about 0.1 to 0.2 mm, the sleeve is pressed against the inner wall of the hole when the fastener is pushed into the hole. In some cases, cracks occur and break, and come out from the end face opposite to the side where the fastener is inserted, or the end face of the CFRP is not sufficiently spotted, and the sleeve does not fit in the hole and protrudes from the surface. In such a case, it is necessary to pull out the fastener and the sleeve from the inside of the hole and replace them with new ones, or to rework the through holes.

  In such a case, as an apparatus for pulling out the member press-fitted into the hole, for example, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-32511. As shown in FIG. 12, an inlay 4c of a screw rod guide 4 is fitted to an inlay portion 1b of the housing 1, and the handle 8 is continuously rotated clockwise, so that the screw tap 3a of the screw rod is moved to the inner diameter of the blind lid. Tapping on. Then, after the tapping is completed, the handle lever 6 is rotated clockwise to pull up the screw rod 3, and the blind lid 2 is removed from the housing.

  However, the above-described extraction device is effective when the work space is sufficiently large, but it may be difficult or may not be used depending on the location when installation or work must be performed in a narrow place. It was. Also, it is effective when pulling out relatively large and thick parts, but it is not easy to take out with such a device in the case of a very small and thin sleeve used in the above-mentioned aircraft main wing. However, there is a concern that the sleeve may be broken during the work or the inner wall of the hole may be damaged, and it cannot be put to practical use.

  The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and is a pulling device for pulling out a metal sleeve part inserted into a panel made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and can be operated even in a narrow place. The object is to provide a possible small size.

  The sleeve component pulling device of the present invention is for pulling out a metal sleeve component inserted into a panel made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and is a sleeve engaging portion inserted into the sleeve component, this sleeve A sleeve engagement rod integrally provided with a screw rod portion provided continuously with the engagement portion, and a wrench operation portion provided on the opposite side of the sleeve engagement portion with the screw rod portion and capable of being rotated by a wrench. And having a sliding surface at the bottom, a nut support surface on the opposite side of the sliding surface, and penetrating the screw rod portion of the sleeve engaging rod through the sliding surface and the nut support surface A nut support member having a hole, and a nut installed on the nut support surface of the nut support member and screwed into the screw rod portion of the sleeve engaging rod. The sleeve engaging portion of the sleeve engaging rod has a helical thread that can be engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve, and the sleeve engaging member includes a tip of the thread. It has a feature in that the shaft diameter of the joint portion is tapered so that the tip end side of the sleeve engaging rod becomes smaller.

  In order to pull out the sleeve part inserted into the panel made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic using the sleeve part pulling apparatus of the present invention, the following is performed. First, while rotating the sleeve engagement rod, the tip end portion (sleeve engagement portion) is slowly entered into the sleeve component, and the sleeve engagement portion is engaged with the inner wall of the sleeve component.

  Next, the nut supporting member is installed on the surface of the panel by penetrating the through hole of the nut supporting member from the wrench operating portion side of the sleeve engaging rod inserted into the sleeve component. At this time, the distance from the panel surface of the nut support surface is set so that at least a part of the threaded rod portion of the sleeve engagement rod is positioned on the panel side of the nut support surface of the nut support member.

  Next, in a state where the rotation of the sleeve engagement rod (wrench operation portion) is restricted, the nut is screwed into the screw rod portion of the sleeve engagement rod and is screwed until it comes into contact with the nut support surface of the nut support member. If the nut continues to rotate after the nut abuts against the nut support surface, the nut will rotate the screw rod part while maintaining its position on the nut support surface. The sleeve engaging rod is slowly pulled out of the panel together with the sleeve component as the nut rotates.

  Further, the sleeve engaging portion of the sleeve engaging rod has a tapered shape in which the shaft diameter including the tip of the thread becomes smaller toward the tip, so that when the sleeve engaging rod enters the panel, the sleeve The engaging portion can be reliably hooked on the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve.

  Moreover, since the installation surface to the surface of the panel of a nut support member has a sliding surface, it can prevent damaging the panel surface.

  Further, if a notch is provided in a part of the sliding plate or both of the sliding plate and the support tube portion, a hole into which the sleeve component is inserted is formed near the R surface of the reinforcing rib in the main wing structure of the airplane, for example. Even in such a case, the nut support member can be installed near the R-plane. For this reason, even when the sleeve component to be pulled out is present near the R surface, the pulling out operation can be performed.

  Further, by providing an insertion guide shaft having a diameter equal to or smaller than the minimum shaft diameter of the sleeve engaging portion on the distal end side of the sleeve engaging portion, when the sleeve engaging portion of the sleeve engaging rod enters the sleeve component, With this approach posture as a normal posture, it can be smoothly entered without bending the shaft, and the sleeve parts can be prevented from being damaged.

  As described above, according to the sleeve part extracting device of the present invention, a nut support member having a simple and small configuration is installed on the surface of the panel, and the nut is inserted into the panel only by being screwed with respect to the sleeve engaging rod. The sleeve part thus formed can be pulled out, and the work can be performed even in a narrow place.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The sleeve component pulling device 10 of the present embodiment is for pulling out a metal sleeve component 30 inserted into a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) panel that forms part of the main wing structure of an airplane, for example. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view. As shown in FIG. 1, the sleeve component extraction device 10 includes a nut support member 11, a nut 19, and a sleeve engagement rod 20. The nut support member 11 includes a metal support cylinder portion 12 having a circular through space 12A and having a substantially cylindrical shape, and a fluororesin slide plate 16 attached to the bottom surface and having one surface as a slide surface. Is provided.

  The upper surface (surface opposite to the sliding plate 16) of the support cylinder portion 12 is a nut support surface 13, and a through hole 14 having a diameter smaller than that of the through space 12A is formed at the center (see FIG. 3, see FIG. For example, three screw holes 15 are formed on the bottom surface of the support cylinder portion 12 at equal angular intervals with the through space 12A as the center.

  The sliding plate 16 is formed with an opening 17 having substantially the same diameter as the through space 12A of the support cylinder 12. Around the opening 17, stepped bolt insertion holes 18 are formed at three positions at equal angular intervals around the opening 17. The sliding plate 16 is fixed to the support cylinder portion 12 by screwing the mounting bolts 26 inserted into the bolt insertion holes 18 into the screw holes 15 of the support cylinder portion 12. The sliding plate 16 has a shape in which a part of an annular member having substantially the same shape as that of the support cylinder portion 12 is cut out linearly in an angle region narrower than a semicircle so that the opening portion 17 opens sideways. As a whole, it is substantially U-shaped (see FIG. 5).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the sleeve engaging rod 20 has a configuration in which a wrench operating portion 21, a screw rod portion 22, a sleeve engaging portion 23, and an insertion guide shaft 24 are integrally formed from one end side. The wrench operating portion 21 has a hexagonal column shape, and the screw rod portion 22 is provided continuously to the wrench operating portion 21, and has a diameter larger than that of the wrench operating portion 21 and a helical thread 22A formed on the outer peripheral surface. Forms. Further, the sleeve engaging portion 23 connected to the screw rod portion 22 has a diameter smaller than that of the screw rod portion 22, and is spirally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft main body 23C having a constant diameter as shown in the partial enlarged view of FIG. The screw thread 23A is formed. The top portion of the thread 23A is cut obliquely so as to become thinner toward the distal end side (insertion guide shaft 24 side) of the sleeve engagement rod 20, and a flat surface 23B is formed. Further, an insertion guide shaft 24 having a flat cylindrical surface having the same diameter as the minimum diameter of the sleeve engaging portion 23 is provided on the distal end side of the sleeve engaging portion 23. The sleeve engaging portion 23 and the insertion guide shaft 24 are provided on the outer periphery with two relief grooves 25 extending in the axial direction continuously from the sleeve engaging portion 23 and the insertion guide shaft 24 so as to be opened at the distal end portion.

  The nut 19 can be screwed into the screw rod portion 22, and the outer dimension thereof is larger than the through hole 14 of the support cylinder portion 12, and can be placed on the nut support surface 13.

Next, the usage method of the sleeve component extraction apparatus 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 2, a carbon fiber strong plastic panel 31 and a reinforcing member 32 are overlapped, and a continuous hole 33 is formed in the overlapping portion, and the sleeve component 30 is inserted into the hole 33. And When pulling out the sleeve part 30 from the hole 33, first, the sleeve engaging rod 20 is lightly inserted into the sleeve part 30 from the insertion guide shaft 24 side. As described above, the insertion guide shaft 24 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the sleeve component 30 is inserted into the sleeve component 30, whereby the insertion posture of the entire sleeve engaging rod 20 with respect to the sleeve component 30 is guided to a normal posture.

  Subsequently, the wrench operating section 21 is slowly rotated by, for example, a wrench with a ratchet. Then, since the screw thread 23 </ b> A is formed in the sleeve engaging portion 23 of the sleeve engaging rod 20, the sleeve engaging portion 23 gradually enters the sleeve component 30. Further, the shaft diameter dimension of the sleeve engaging rod 20 including the distal end of the screw thread 23A is thinner (that is, thicker toward the proximal end side) toward the distal end side (insertion guide shaft 24 side) of the sleeve engaging rod 20. Therefore, as the sleeve engaging portion 23 enters the sleeve part 30, the screw thread 23A gets deeper into the inner peripheral wall of the sleeve part 30, and the rotational resistance gradually increases. Since the tip of the screw thread 23A is a flat surface 23B, the screw thread 23A does not bite into the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve part 30 excessively deeply, and the spiral surface of the flat surface 23B of the screw thread 23A is not formed. The edge portion engages with the inner peripheral wall of the sleeve component 30. Therefore, when the rotational resistance has increased to some extent, the screwing of the sleeve engagement rod 20 is stopped.

  Next, the nut supporting member 11 is reinforced by inserting the wrench operating portion 21 and the screw rod portion 22 of the sleeve engaging rod 20 through the through hole 14 so that the sliding plate 16 side of the nut supporting member 11 is on the reinforcing member 32 side. It is installed on the member 32.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the R surface 32C exists between the horizontal portion 32A and the rising portion 32B of the reinforcing member 32, and the sleeve part 30 is inserted near the R surface 32C. However, since the sliding plate 16 has a shape in which a part of the annular member is notched, the nut support member 11 is installed without being inclined by releasing the R surface 32C of the reinforcing member 32 at the notched portion. be able to.

  Next, while restricting the rotation of the sleeve engaging rod 20 (wrench operating portion 21), the nut 19 is screwed into the screw rod portion 22 of the sleeve engaging rod 20 and abuts against the nut support surface 13 of the nut support member 11. Screw up. Then, after the nut 19 comes into contact with the nut support surface 13, the nut 19 is further slowly screwed. Then, along with the rotation (screwing) of the nut 19, the sleeve engagement rod 20 moves in the direction of coming out of the hole. As a result, the sleeve component 30 caught on the sleeve engaging portion 23 is pulled out from the hole 33 together with the sleeve engaging rod 20.

  Thus, according to the sleeve component extraction device 10 of the present embodiment, the sleeve component 30 can be easily extracted even in a narrow place without damaging the components and the inner walls of the holes.
