Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sealing technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for assembling an O-ring of a shaft-shaped part and a method for using the same. Background Art
[0002] O-rings are widely used in the sealing field. For shaft-shaped parts, multiple O-rings are often redundantly connected in series to ensure their sealing performance. The traditional method of using bare hands or tools to expand the O-ring before assembly can easily cause partial twisting of the O-ring, surface scratches, and reduce assembly quality. Under the premise of ensuring the assembly quality of the O-ring, designing a lightweight and easy-to-operate assembly auxiliary device is the main design difficulty.
[0003] Conical guide elements have been used to install sealing rings on shafts. For example, patent document CN205799356U discloses a most common sealing ring installation device, which uses a conical guide element to expand the sealing ring and then put it on the shaft-shaped part to achieve the installation of the sealing ring. However, its versatility is general and it is also impossible to achieve the assembly of O-rings at a long distance on a long shaft-shaped part, especially when redundant O-rings are arranged in series on the shaft-shaped part. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the defects in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary device for assembling an O-ring of a shaft-shaped part and a method for using the same.
[0005] The shaft-shaped O-ring assembly auxiliary device provided by the present invention comprises:
[0006] The guide head is provided with a guide head cylindrical section, a guide head cone column large end and a guide head cone column small end;
[0007] An installation sleeve is provided with an exhaust hole and a small cylindrical section of the installation sleeve;
[0008] The outer diameter of the cylindrical section of the guide head is smaller than the inner diameter of the exhaust hole, so as to realize a flexible connection between the guide head and the mounting sleeve;
[0009] The outer diameter of the large end of the guide head cone is the same as the outer diameter of the small cylindrical section of the mounting sleeve, and is used for transferring the shaft-shaped O-ring from the guide head to the small cylindrical section of the mounting sleeve;
[0010] The outer diameter of the small end of the guide head cone column is smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft-shaped O-ring, and is used to guide the shaft-shaped O-ring to slide and expand along the guide head and transfer to the small cylindrical section of the installation sleeve.
[0011] Preferably, an inlet chamfer is provided on the small cylindrical section of the mounting sleeve to avoid scratching the O-ring of the shaft-shaped part during assembly.
[0012] Preferably, the guide head and the mounting sleeve are made of polypropylene.
[0013] Preferably, the surface roughness of the cone column of the guide head is better than Ra3.2, and the outer surface roughness of the small cylindrical section of the mounting sleeve is also better than Ra3.2.
[0014] Preferably, the inner diameter of the exhaust hole is larger than the outer diameter of the target shaft to facilitate installation of the guide and exhaust of compressed gas.
[0015] Preferably, a large cylindrical section of the mounting sleeve is provided on the mounting sleeve, the outer diameter of the large cylindrical section of the mounting sleeve is 1.2 times the inner diameter of the exhaust hole, and the axial width of the large cylindrical section of the mounting sleeve is 1.1 to 1.5 times the inner diameter of the O-ring of the shaft-shaped part, serving as the installation location for the transfer transition of the O-ring of the shaft-shaped part.
[0016] Preferably, the inner diameter of the mounting sleeve is larger than the diameter of the target shaft, so that the shaft-shaped O-ring can be assembled to any position of the target shaft without damage.
[0017] The method for using the shaft-shaped O-ring assembly auxiliary device provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0018] Step 1: Insert the shaft O-ring from the small end of the guide head cone column and slide it along the guide head to expand;
[0019] Step 2: Assemble the shaft O-ring onto the small cylindrical section of the mounting sleeve;
[0020] Step 3: Remove the guide head;
[0021] Step 4: Put the installation sleeve with the shaft-shaped O-ring on the target shaft and move it to the specified position;
[0022] Step 5: Assemble the shaft-shaped O-ring into the groove where it needs to be installed, thereby completing the non-destructive assembly of the shaft-shaped O-ring at any position on the target shaft.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] (1) High assembly quality and efficiency: After the O-ring is greased, it is inserted from the small end of the guide head, slowly rolled and evenly expanded to the assembly sleeve. The guide head is removed, and the installation sleeve together with the O-ring is put on the shaft and moved to the desired installation position. The O-ring is then rolled into the installation groove. The O-ring changes evenly throughout the whole process without twisting or scratching. Currently, a 100% qualified rate for one-time assembly can be achieved.
[0025] (2) Good versatility: As long as the inner diameter of the installation sleeve is slightly larger than the shaft to be installed, the O-ring can be installed at any position on the shaft.
[0026] (3) Simple and reliable structure: The structure is simple, easy to process, and the guide head and installation sleeve are easy to disassemble and assemble, meeting the requirements of lightness and miniaturization.
[0027] (4) It has the advantage of convenient disassembly and assembly of tandem O-rings: the installation sleeve is provided with exhaust holes and inlet chamfers, which can meet the installation function of the O-rings at the far end of the shaft-shaped part. For tandem O-rings, if one O-ring fails, it can be replaced without affecting other O-rings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
