System for hole making for aircraft skin by normal positioning and locking

The invention discloses a system for hole making for an aircraft skin by normal positioning and locking. The hole-making system includes a posture adjustment part, a normal positioning and locking part and a hole-making execution part. This system solves the problems that the device in the prior art has high complexity and cumbersome positioning and does not adapt to complex curved surfaces, thereby failing to satisfy the needs of efficient hole making in different space states. In the present invention, the expansion of an outer expansion sleeve in a bottom sleeve locks a normal direction for hole making, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the normal direction. An axial position is locked by the mutual cooperation of an axial positioning groove of the bottom sleeve and an axial positioning rib of the outer expansion sleeve. A hole-making auxiliary cylinder contracts to counteract part of an axial force for hole making.

METHOD AND APPARATUS OF HOT TAPPING MULTIPLE COAXIAL OR NESTED STRINGS OF UNDERWATER PIPING AND/OR TUBING FOR OVERTURNED WELLS OR PLATFORMS

A method and apparatus for tapping into a pressurized multiple strings of coaxially situated tubulars for wells and/or platforms which have overturned wherein the tapping occurs underwater via a diver or remotely operated vehicle. The assembly includes a tapping tool connectable to the tubular via a saddle connection and an adjustable tapping clamp with adjustable support/locking feet, compression plate with view ports, and angularly adjustable hot tapping system, along with a drill/saw system.

CORING APPARATUS FOR RUBBER STATOR
20230096992 · 2023-03-30 ·

An apparatus for removing rubber stator material from inside a housing includes a head, at least one blade, and an actuator. For example, the apparatus can be used to core out rubber material from the housing so new material can be molded therein. Also, the apparatus can be used to cut back excess rubber material newly molded in the housing. The head is rotated about an axis and is moved along the axis relative to the housing. The at least one blade is pivotably connected to the head and removes the rubber stator material at least partially from inside the housing with the rotation and movement of the head through the housing. The actuator is associated with the at least one blade and is operable to adjust a pivot of the at least one blade relative to the head.

INTELLIGENT AUTOMATIC PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR SPOKE HOLE OF BICYCLE RIM
20230075159 · 2023-03-09 ·

An intelligent automatic processing apparatus for spoke holes of bicycle rims is revealed. The apparatus includes a seat pivotally connected to a machine body and provided with a rotary base. A rim is clamped and fixed by clamping jaws on the rotary base and a control unit drives an incline unit to incline the seat connected at an angle desired for control of slopes of holes being drilled. The control unit also drives a rotary indexing power source to rotate the rotary base at different angles according to the numbers and positions of spoke holes desired. Thus a drilling assembly drills the spoke holes on the rim. Thereby the spoke holes with various angles can be drilled on different positions of the rim by the control unit which adjusts positions and inclination angles of the rim accurately. Therefore, the drilling of the spoke holes is more convenient.

Railroad track rail drill

A rail drill drive train can include a common drive end between a single drive motor and a common gear. A speed train end can extend from the common gear to rotate the drill spindle. A feed train end can independently extend from the common gear to advance and retract the drill spindle. The speed train end can include a sprag gear so that, without unmeshing any gears, the drill spindle is not unnecessarily rotated in the reverse direction when the drive motor is reversed to retract the drill spindle. A rail drill control circuit and related sensors can enable automatic operation throughout the complete drilling cycle without any manual input from the user other than starting the cycle. Such a fully automatic drilling cycle can minimize overall cycle time to preserve battery life and can free the user to perform other tasks between drill moving and clamping operations.

MACHINING TOOL

In a tool holding portion of a machining tool, a cartridge is provided so as to be movable forward and backward. A cam accommodated inside a cam accommodation portion rotates while the cam is in abutment against the cartridge to thereby move the cartridge forward and backward. A rod which moves forward and backward inside a tool body along an axis is provided with an abutment portion. The abutment portion abuts against an abutment position of the cam according to the forward and backward movement of the rod to thereby rotate the cam. A restriction mechanism is capable of adjusting the phase of the cam when the abutment portion is apart from the abutment position so that a reference position is reached where the abutment position faces the abutment portion.
