CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND PRIORITY
[001] The present invention claims priority from Indian patent application numbered IN 202141027429 filed on 18th June, 2021.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[002] The present invention relates to a tool holder for a torque multiplier assembly for torquing the hardware and more particularly it relates to a tool holder to hold and restrict the movement of torque multiplier while performing the torquing operation in under slung position.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[003] In 3-Phase Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU) cars, the major equipment’s like Main Transformer, Main Compressor, Electro Pneumatic (EP) unit, Battery Box etc. are installed in under slung position on the underframe of the body shell structure with the help of applicable hardware. Dampening plates are commonly used for mounting of main transform. The installation of these dampening plates is carried out by providing high torque to the dampening plate mounting bolts, using a torque multiplier assembly. It is very difficult for a person to hold the heavy torque multiplier along with torque wrench against the gravity during tightening of the mounting bolts in an under slung position on the underframe of the body shell structure. The torque multiplier multiplies the torque using a torque wrench for tightening the bolts.
[004] Figure 1 illustrates a transformer assembly (10) mounted in an under slung position on the underframe (11) of the body shell structure. A dampening plate (13) is mounted at the bottom surface of the underframe (11) with the help of plurality of bolt assemblies (14) is bolted to the underframe (11) through the dampening plate (13). The bolt assembly (14) for the mounting of the dampening plate (13) comprises a bolt, a conical spring washer, a plain washer and a nut. The nut of the bolt assembly (14) is held above the underframe (11) and then the bolt is inserted from below into the holes provided in the underframe (11) and dampening plate (13) and then tightened. To achieve desired high torque for tightening the dampening plate mounting bolts, the torque multiplier is used to tighten the bolt assembly (14).
[005] Figure 2 illustrates the components of torque multiplier assembly. The torque multiplier assembly comprises a torque multiplier (20), a torque wrench (25) and a hexagonal head socket (26). The torque multiplier (20) has a first end (21) to be connected to the torque wrench (25) and a second end (22) to be connected to the hexagonal head socket (26). Further, the torque multiplier (20) comprises of a reaction arm (23) extending radially outwards from the outer surface of the torque multiplier (20). In order to tighten the dampening plate mounting bolt assembly (14), hexagonal head socket (26) is placed below the head of the mounting bolt assembly (14) which is driven by the torque multiplier (20) through the torque wrench (25).
[006] However, while tightening the dampening plate mounting bolt assembly using the torque multiplier, due to high torque requirement, the torque multiplier tend to rotate together with torque wrench resulting in not achieving the desired high torque for tightening the bolt. There is a need to develop a tool to hold and restrict the rotation of torque multiplier while carrying out torquing operation safely and by reducing the delays, saving cost and improving productivity.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[007] The object of the invention is to provide a tool holder for holding a torque multiplier assembly while tightening the bolt on the underframe of the body shell structure in an under slung position.
[008] Another object of the invention is to provide a tool holder for a torque multiplier assembly to hold and restrict the movement of torque multiplier, thereby achieving required high torque for tightening the dampening plate mounting bolt assemblies.
[009] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a tool holder for a torque multiplier assembly to hold and restrict the movement of torque multiplier while tightening the dampening plate mounting bolt assemblies, to reduce the reaction force at the torque wrench, thereby increasing safety.
[0010] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a tool holder for a torque multiplier assembly to hold the torque multiplier while performing the torquing operation in under slung position, to keep the torque multiplier in engaged position with the bolt head by supporting the weight of the torque multiplier assembly in turn increasing the safety and efficiency of the operator, and reducing the effort for tightening the bolts.
[0011] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a tool holder for a torque multiplier assembly to hold and restrict the movement of torque multiplier, to enhance the productivity and reduce the cost associated with the dampening plate mounting operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0012] Before the present system is described, it is to be understood that this application is not limited to the particular machine or an apparatus, and methodologies described, as there can be multiple possible embodiments that are not expressly illustrated in the present disclosure. It is also to be understood that the terminologies used in the description is for the purpose of describing the particular version or embodiment only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. This summary is provided to introduce aspects related to a tool holder for a torque multiplier assembly and the aspects are further elaborated below in the detailed application description. This summary is not intended to identify essential features of the proposed subject matter nor is it intended for use in determining or limiting the scope of the proposed subject matter.
[0013] In one implementation a tool holder for a torque multiplier assembly comprises a hollow cylindrical tool body to position a torque multiplier and a pair of opposing fingers attached to upper end of the hollow cylindrical tool body. The fingers extend in the direction of axis of the hollow cylindrical tool body and away from the hollow cylindrical tool body. A rectangular through hole is cut near the free end of each finger. A longitudinal slot is provided starting from the upper end of the hollow cylindrical tool body and extending axially to a partial length of the hallow cylindrical tool body to position a reaction arm of the torque multiplier. Two T-plates are provided in such a way that the stem of the T-plate is insertable in the rectangular through holes of the tool holder. Further, two locating pins are used to align the dampening plate holes to the holes provided on the underframe. The tool holder, in addition to restricting the rotational movement of the torque multiplier, also supports the weight of the torque multiplier assembly.
[0014] In another implementation, a method for tightening the dampening plate mounting bolt assembly with the help of a tool holder according to present invention is provided. First the dampening plate is properly aligned with the help of locating pins on the underframe and fixed on the underframe with the help of plurality of bolt assemblies. The torque multiplier is positioned in the hallow cylindrical tool body of the tool holder in such a way that the reaction arm of the torque multiplier is positioned in the longitudinal slot of the tool holder to restrict the rotational movement of the torque multiplier during tightening. Then, a torque wrench is connected to the first end of the torque multiplier and the hexagonal head socket is connected to the second end of the torque multiplier. Now, the torque multiplier assembly together with the tool holder is positioned below the dampening plate in such a manner that the head of the bolt is positioned in the hexagonal head socket. Further, the torque multiplier assembly together with the tool holder is locked with respect to the underframe in under slung position by inserting two T-plates in each of the rectangular holes provided in the fingers of the tool holder and by partially inserting the stems of the T-plates in the gap above the channel in the underframe. After securing torque multiplier and tool holder along with torque wrench to the underframe, ensure that a releasing pin at the first end of the torque multiplier is in closed position, then the torque wrench is rotated till the set torque value is achieved. As the rotational movement of the torque multiplier is restricted, required high torque is achieved with improved productivity and safety. Then, the torque multiplier assembly together with the tool holder is removed by flipping the releasing pin to open position to unwind the torque multiplier and then the T-plates are removed from the rectangular through holes. The same procedure is followed for tightening all the dampening plate mounting bolts.
