Description

[0003] There are many types of connectors, one of which includes a shaft and a flange plate on the shaft. The flange plate needs to be press-fitted with the shaft, i.e. the flange plate is press-fitted on the shaft, and the commonly used press-fitting equipment is a punch press. The movement of the punch end of the punch press pushes the flange plate to assemble it on the shaft.

[0004] In the actual process of press-fitting the flange plate and the shaft by the punch press, the punch end of the punch press directly and rigidly abuts against the flange plate to push the flange plate to move, which easily causes damage to the flange plate.

The flange plate is easily bent between the position in contact with the punch end and the position not in contact with the punch end, resulting in a problem of reduced product quality. Moreover, whether it is damage to the flange plate or bending of the flange plate, it does not meet the high quality requirements of the aerospace system, and needs to be re-produced, which seriously affects the production efficiency.
