[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: A disc spring assembly assembly tool is provided with a base, a telescopic boss, a telescopic boss drive device, a positioning stud and a locking nut; the telescopic boss drive device adopts a pneumatic mode and is connected to an external high-pressure gas source; the base is a square pedestal, and a cavity with an open upper end is provided in the middle of the base, and the cavity is a stepped cylindrical hole structure, and its cavity diameter is smaller than the bottom diameter. The telescopic boss is mounted in the cavity in an upward and downward movable manner, and a sealing ring is mounted between the inner wall of the cavity and the telescopic boss, and the bottom of the cavity is connected to the telescopic boss drive device through a gas pipeline; the telescopic boss is a cylindrical structure, and its upper end surface is a horizontal plane; the positioning studs are fixed at the four corners of the base, and locking nuts are mounted on the positioning studs.

[0006] The disc spring assembly assembly tool is provided with a scale on the base, and a scale probe which can move up and down is mounted on the scale.

[0007] The above-mentioned disc spring assembly assembly tool is provided with a level ruler on the upper end surface of the base, and the level ruler is provided in two groups, one group is arranged parallel to the horizontal and longitudinal edges of the base.

[0008] The above-mentioned disc spring assembly assembly tool is provided with a pressure gauge, a pressure regulating knob, a boost switch and a pressure relief switch on the control panel of the telescopic boss drive device.

[0011] A disc spring assembly method, using the disc spring assembly tool to complete the disc spring assembly operation, the operation steps are: a. According to the installation distance between the upper cover plate of the disc spring assembly and the spring base and the numerical requirements of the disc spring installation preload force, the thrust provided by the telescopic boss during the assembly of the disc spring assembly is calculated, and then the pressure value P of the high-pressure gas required to be provided by the telescopic boss drive device is calculated; b.

When assembling the disc spring assembly, high-pressure gas can be provided through a pneumatic telescopic boss driving device. Under the action of the high-pressure gas pressure, the telescopic boss moves upward, pushing the spring base to compress the disc spring elastic deformation, thereby adjusting the installation distance between the spring base and the upper cover plate, and ensuring the preload force of the disc spring.
