Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing, and in particular to an automatic assembly device for an E-type retaining ring of an automobile EPB caliper. Background Art

[0002] E-type retaining ring is also called E-type circlip. It is a kind of fastener, which is installed in the shaft groove of machines and equipment to prevent the axial movement of parts on the shaft. Because its shape is like the letter E, people are accustomed to calling it E-type retaining ring.

[0003] At present, E-type retaining rings are assembled manually. Since it is difficult to control the force during manual assembly, it is easy to cause excessive deformation and improper assembly of the E-type retaining ring. Since the E-type retaining ring is assembled on the piston assembly of the EPB caliper, improper assembly of the E-type retaining ring will cause the braking force of the EPB caliper to weaken or even fail. In addition, the efficiency of manual assembly is too low to meet production requirements. Summary of the invention

[0007] The mobile press-fitting platform is provided with a horizontal positioning cylinder and a vertical positioning cylinder; an auxiliary cylinder for pushing out the mandrel of the EPB caliper is provided above the mobile press-fitting platform;

[0008] The EPB caliper follower press-fitting platform installed on the mobile press-fitting platform is pushed to the press-fitting position directly in front of the fixed press-fitting platform by the horizontal positioning cylinder and the vertical positioning cylinder, and the auxiliary cylinder presses down to push out the mandrel; the press-fitting cylinder pushes the mounting plate to press the E-type retaining ring onto the mandrel of the EPB caliper;

[0009] The mobile press-fitting platform is also provided with an optical fiber sensor for detecting that the E-type retaining ring is installed in place.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed press-fitting platform is connected to an automatic loading device, which includes a vibration plate, the vibration plate is connected to a vertical slide rail, the vertical slide rail is connected to a horizontal slide rail, and the horizontal slide rail transports the E-type retaining ring to be installed to the installation plate.
