防护罩气弹簧撑杆安装工具设计及应用

Design and Application of an Installation Tool for Protective Cover Gas Spring Struts

摘要: 在烟机设备的防护罩与机身之间安装气弹簧撑杆，有效保障了防护罩在开启或关闭状态下进行自锁，可有效防止防护罩失控下落，安全可靠。但由于气弹簧撑杆的压力较大，手工压缩安装气弹簧撑杆难以使气弹簧撑杆维持在装配位置上，压缩长度难以做到精准微调需要反复压缩调整气弹簧撑杆长度后才能拧入螺栓完成安装，安装效率较低，影响烟机设备的正常生产秩序。通过设计烟机防护罩气弹簧撑杆安装工具，可实现对气弹簧压缩量的精确调节，可使气弹簧撑杆在压缩状态下长时间维持在装配位置上，便于安装，操作方便，有效提高了气弹簧撑杆的安装效率。

Abstract: The installation of gas spring struts between the protective cover and the body of cigarette machinery effectively ensures self-locking in both the open and closed states, preventing uncontrolled descent of the cover and enhancing safety and reliability. However, due to the significant pressure of the gas spring struts, manually compressing and holding them in the assembly position is difficult. Achieving precise fine-tuning of the compression length is challenging, requiring repeated compression adjustments before bolts can be inserted for installation. This results in low installation efficiency, disrupting the normal production schedule of the cigarette machinery. By designing a dedicated installation tool for the protective cover gas spring struts on cigarette machinery, precise adjustment of the gas spring compression can be achieved. The tool allows the gas spring strut to be maintained in the compressed state at the assembly position for an extended period, facilitating easier and more convenient operation and effectively improving installation efficiency.
