Turning Device, Method of Assembling the Turning Device and Method for Rotation of the Turning Device

Abstract

A device capable of connecting different tool sections, with the purpose of promoting the rotation between the same (angular movement) and, thus, allowing the tool to fulfill its function, overcoming access difficulties arising from the limitations of an ROV manipulator or human arm, for example, is disclosed. For this purpose, a turning device is disclosed, which comprises: two side covers; two side guides; a “T” joint; an internal structure; a “V” joint; at least three pins; at least two bushings; and a central shaft; in which the central shaft internally connects the two side covers in a fixed manner; in which the internal structure comprises at least three holes, through which the at least three pins pass from the external surface to the internal surface of the device; in which the at least three pins comprise in each pin a screw and a spring; and wherein the central shaft presents a circular geometry with at least eight depressions. The disclosure also describes a method of assembling the turning device and a method for rotation of the turning device.
