Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical assembly, and relates to a wire retaining ring storage, counting and ejecting device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a key small part in aircraft engines, the importance of wire retaining rings cannot be ignored. Although small, they play a vital role in the precision assembly of the engine, ensuring that the various components can be connected together stably and accurately. However, due to their tiny size and large supporting requirements, wire retaining rings do have some challenges in management and use.

[0003] First, the diameter of the wire retaining rings is only Φ7mm and the thickness is only 1mm, which makes them very inconspicuous visually and easy to be overlooked or misjudged when counting. During the assembly process of aircraft engines, each component requires precise quantity control to ensure the performance and safety of the entire machine. Therefore, the wrong number of wire retaining rings may have a significant impact on the assembly quality and performance of the entire machine.

[0004] Secondly, since a single engine requires a large number of wire retaining rings, usually up to 30 per engine, this makes it more difficult to assemble and store them. The traditional storage method is to stack 30 wire retaining rings together. Although this method simplifies management to a certain extent, it brings many inconveniences during assembly. Assemblers need to spend extra time and energy to distinguish and take the required wire retaining rings, which not only reduces work efficiency, but also increases the risk of human error.

[0005] In addition, due to the small size and easy loss of wire retaining rings, they are easily damaged or lost during storage and transportation. Once the number is insufficient or damaged, it will directly affect the assembly progress and performance of the engine. Therefore, how to effectively manage and preserve wire retaining rings and ensure their accuracy and integrity during the assembly process has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of aircraft engine manufacturing.

The method for using the wire retaining ring storage, counting and ejection device according to claim 8, characterized in that: The storage column (2) is provided with a scale (201), the scale (201) being based on the thickness of the steel wire retaining ring (4), the storage column (2) being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole via a connecting portion (202), the connecting portion (202) being adapted to fit the notch of the steel wire retaining ring (4); the method comprising: S1: The steel wire retaining ring (4) is sleeved on the storage column (2) with its opening facing the connection portion (202), and the steel wire retaining ring (4) is sleeved continuously until the height of the steel wire retaining ring (4) is flush with the scale (201) of the storage column (2), for storage and counting; S2: The wire retaining ring (4) slides to the ejection channel (103) under the action of its own gravity; S3: The spring push rod device (3) pushes out the wire retaining ring (4) in the ejection channel (103); and returns to the original position, and the next wire retaining ring (4) slides into the ejection channel (103).

10. The method for using the wire retaining ring storage, counting and ejection device according to claim 8, characterized in that: The spring push rod device (3) comprises a fixing seat (301), a push rod (302) and a spring; the method comprises: S1: The wire retaining ring (4) is sleeved on the storage column (2) for storage; S2: The wire retaining ring (4) slides to the ejection channel (103) under the action of its own gravity; S3: The push rod (302) pushes out the wire retaining ring (4) in the ejection channel (103); and returns to its original position under the elastic force of the spring, and the next wire retaining ring (4) slides into the ejection channel (103).
