The existing ways to loosen the connectors of brake pipes have been investiga­ DESIGNING  ted, especially those whose dismantling is complicated due to the corrosion and contamination of mated surfaces as AN  IMPROVED  a result of their wetting when driving a car. A conventio­ nal structure of the connector has been analyzed, which is STRUCTURE  OF  THE  installed in that place of the car that is the most unprotected from moisture and dirt – on the brake cylinder. The condi­ TOOL  FOR  REPAIRING  tions that do not contribute to its failure­free loosening have been examined. The design of a specialized split clamping THE  BRAKE  PIPE  ring wrench has been considered, which can transmit the greatest value of the torque to the connector when loosen­ ing it; sometimes, however, its predefined value would not CONNECTORS  IN  suffice. A computer­based finite­element simulation was employed to derive the models of the deformation state TI - Designing an improved structure of the tool for repairing the brake pipe connectors in vehicles JO - Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies DO - 10.15587/1729-4061.2021.224912 DA - 2021-02-19 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/designing-an-improved-structure-of-the-tool-for-repairing-the-brake-RR4aPzojRe DP - DeepDyve ER -
