Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of retaining ring processing related equipment, and in particular to a retaining ring moving device. Background Art

[0002] Retaining rings, also known as circlips, are divided into retaining rings for holes and retaining rings for shafts. They play an axial limiting role and can prevent other parts from axial movement. Retaining rings are generally an annular structure with an opening, which is made by stamping.

[0003] After the processed retaining ring is processed into an open structure, it needs further processing. The opening structure processed by the punch is relatively messy. Before the next step of processing, the retaining ring with the opening structure needs to be sorted out so that it is coaxial and the opening structure is completely opposite, such as Figure 1 As shown, the retaining rings are generally arranged into a vertical stack of retaining rings;

[0004] Generally, the staff is required to place the stack of retaining rings in the feed trough of the automatic punching machine. During this process, the retaining rings may shift, resulting in the need to sort them before placing them in the feed trough, which increases the labor intensity of the staff and reduces work efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention provides a retaining ring moving device.

[0006] The present invention provides a retaining ring moving device, comprising a moving plate, a supporting member, a resisting plate and an opening limiting plate, wherein:

[0007] The movable plate is used to place a retaining ring, and the axis of the retaining ring is placed in the vertical direction;

[0008] The support member is vertically detachably mounted on the movable plate;

[0009] The contact plate is vertically slidably mounted on the support member, and one end of the contact plate away from the support member contacts the inner wall of the retaining ring. A plurality of contact plates are provided, and the plurality of contact plates are circumferentially distributed in the retaining ring.

[0010] The opening limiting plate is detachably mounted on the supporting member, and the opening limiting plate is used to match the opening of the retaining ring;

[0011] During use, a support member can be placed in the retaining ring that has been stacked on the moving plate, and then the opening limit plate can be installed on the support member so that the opening of the opening limit plate matches the opening of the retaining ring, and then multiple contact plates can be installed on the support member in sequence so that the contact plate contacts the inner wall of the retaining ring to fix the retaining ring; the support member can also be clamped on the moving plate first, the opening limit plate and multiple contact plates can be installed on the support member, and the retaining rings can be placed outside the contact plate one by one so that the opening of the retaining ring matches the opening limit plate, so as to fix a stack of retaining rings, and then the moving plate can be moved to realize the movement of the stack of retaining rings. In this process, the retaining rings will not move relative to each other, ensuring that the openings of the retaining rings are relative to each other;

[0012] Before moving to the feed trough of the automatic punching machine, disassemble the moving plate. The retaining ring will not fall off due to the friction between the contact plate and the opening limit plate. Place the retaining ring together with the support, the contact plate and the opening limit plate in the feed trough. Under the action of external force, take out the support, the contact plate and the opening limit plate to place the retaining ring in the feed trough. The external force includes two, one external force presses the retaining ring, and the other external force lifts the support, the contact plate and the opening limit plate upward.

[0013] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, it also includes a fixed plate, which is detachably mounted on the top of the support member, and the fixed plate is detachably connected to the opening limit plate and the resistance plate through the fixing member, so as to facilitate the simultaneous removal of the support member, the resistance plate and the opening limit plate.

[0014] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the outer diameter of the fixed disk is smaller than the inner diameter of the retaining ring, which facilitates applying downward force to the retaining ring when removing the support member, the abutment plate and the opening limit plate.

[0015] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, it also includes a vertical limiter, which is detachably mounted on the fixed disk and abuts against the upper end surface of the uppermost retaining ring to prevent the retaining ring from moving along its axial direction during movement.

[0016] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the abutment plate and the retaining ring are in surface contact, which further increases stability.

[0017] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, it also includes a rotating support plate and a rotating shaft. The rotating support plate is installed on the bottom of the contact plate through the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is vertically rotatably installed on the contact plate. Rotating the rotating shaft makes the support member located at the bottom or inside of the retaining ring, further increasing stability.

[0018] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the upper surface of the rotating support plate and the upper surface of the movable plate are in the same plane, and the lower surface of the opening limiting plate and the lower surface of the abutting plate are in the same plane and in contact with the movable plate.

[0019] Specifically, a movable groove is formed on the movable plate, and the rotating support plate rotates in the movable groove.

[0020] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, an elastic sheet is provided at one end of the rotating support plate away from the rotating shaft. When the rotating support plate is located at the bottom of the retaining ring, the elastic sheet is located at the bottom of the retaining ring. When the rotating support plate is located in the inner hole of the retaining ring, one side of the elastic sheet contacts the inner wall of the retaining ring. In the process of removing the contact plate, the elastic sheet rubs against the inner wall of the retaining ring to prevent the two adjacent retaining rings from sticking together. The elastic sheet can be made of rubber material.

[0021] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the elastic sheet and the retaining ring are in surface contact.

[0022] In the present invention, the proposed retaining ring moving device has a simple structure and is convenient for moving retaining rings distributed in a stack, thereby preventing the retaining rings from rotating or moving relative to each other during the process of moving the retaining rings.

[0023] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and in part will be obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
