In the embodiment, the radial limiting groove 15 at the front end of the claw groove 14 is arranged on the ring-shaped casing 1; in order to facilitate the installation of the claw 3, a limiting baffle 10 is arranged at the rear end of the ring-shaped casing 1, and the limiting baffle 10 is provided with a radial limiting groove 15 matched with the claw limiting pin 12 at the rear end of the claw 3. Obviously, the present application is not limited to this, and the radial limiting groove 15 at the rear end can also be arranged on the ring-shaped casing 1 as at the front end.

[0033] The shaft 2 is mounted in the matching hole 16 of the ring-shaped casing 1. The outer circle of the front end of the shaft 2 is provided with a first ratchet groove 17, the middle part is threadedly connected with the matching hole 16 of the ring-shaped casing 1, and the tail part is provided with an internal hexagonal wrench groove 18.

[0034] The claw 3 is mounted in the claw groove 14 on the ring-shaped casing 1, and the claw 3 and the ring-shaped casing 1 are mounted with a claw spring 9 for driving the claw 3 to move along the radial direction of the ring-shaped casing 1, and the two ends of the claw 3 are respectively provided with claw limiting pins 12, which are mounted in the radial limiting grooves 15.

[0035] The ring-shaped cam 4 is mounted at the front end of the matching hole 16 of the ring-shaped casing 1, and a plurality of cam limiting pins 8 for stopping the front end of the ring-shaped cam 4 are mounted on the ring-shaped casing 1. The front end of the ring-shaped cam 4 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 19 matched with the claw 3, the rear end face is provided with a second ratchet groove 20, the ring-shaped casing 1 and the second ratchet groove 20 are mounted with a pawl 6 matched with the second ratchet groove 20 and a pawl spring 7 for driving the pawl 6, and the front end of the shaft 2 extends into the inner circle of the ring-shaped cam 4, and the inner circle of the ring-shaped cam 4 is mounted with a spring sheet 5 matched with the first ratchet groove 17. In this way, the spring sheet 5 and the shaft 2 form a set of ratchet devices, and the ring-shaped cam 4, the pawl 6 and the pawl spring 7 form another set of ratchet devices.

[0036] In order to ensure the smooth movement of the claw 3, a claw guide groove 21 is arranged on the outer circle of the ring-shaped casing 1, and a claw positioning pin 13 is correspondingly arranged on the claw 3.

[0037] When the present application is used, in a free state, the three claws 3 will expand to the maximum outer diameter under the elastic force of the claw spring 9, and will be limited by the claw limiting pin 12 and the radial limiting groove 15, and the pawl spring 7 remains in a free state, and the pawl 6 and the second ratchet groove 20 remain in a sliding connection state.

[0038] The present application is used for the withdrawal of a compact and symmetrical assembly type bushing 22, two devices of the present application are adopted (as shown inFigure 8 The specific exit is as follows: 1) press the three pullers 3 simultaneously inward to the minimum outer diameter position (as shown in Figure 2 ), during which the puller spring 9 is compressed and inserts the puller 3 into the inner hole of the bushing 22 together with the annular shell until the head of the puller 3 is placed in the gap between the two bushings 22 (as shown in Figure 6 ); 2) release the puller 3, which will be supported in the inner hole of the bushing 22 under the elastic force of the puller spring 9; 3) install the shaft 2 into the annular shell 1 (it is to be noted that the present application is not limited to the installation of the shaft 2 into the annular shell 1, and the shaft 2 can be kept installed in the annular shell 1 all the time), so that the shaft 2 cooperates with the annular shell 1 and the annular cam 4, and the spring sheet 5 is clamped into the first ratchet groove 17 of the shaft 2, at this time, the state is as shown in Figure 5 ; 4) rotate the shaft 2 counterclockwise, since the spring sheet 5 is clamped in the first ratchet groove 17 of the shaft 2 (as shown in Figure 7 ), the shaft 2 drives the annular cam 4 to rotate, and the protrusion 19 on the annular cam 4 pushes against the three pullers 3 (as shown in Figure 6 ), so that the puller 3 will not be loosened when subjected to the axial pulling force, in addition, when the annular cam 4 rotates counterclockwise, the pawl spring 7 is not compressed, and the second ratchet groove 20 keeps slipping with the pawl 6 (as shown in Figure 5 ).

[0039] 5) rotate the shaft 2 clockwise, since the first ratchet groove 17 on the shaft 2 slips with the spring sheet 5, the annular cam 4 will not rotate clockwise with the shaft 2, at the same time, under the action of the pawl spring 7, the second ratchet groove 20 on the annular cam 4 will be clamped by the pawl 6, further ensuring that the annular cam 4 will not rotate clockwise, so that the puller 3 will not be loosened. The threaded connection between the shaft 2 and the annular shell 1 enables the shaft 2 and the annular shell 1 to move axially relative to each other.

[0040] During the entire exit process, the exit devices on both sides of the part 23 rotate the shaft 2 at the same time, the shafts 2 of the two exit devices press against each other, the annular shell 1 drives the puller 3, the puller 3 drives the bushing 22 to move in the opposite direction, and then the bushing 22 is smoothly exited from the inner hole of the part 23.

[0041] When the present application is used for the exit of the blind hole assembly bushing 22, as shown in Figure 9 , the general steps are consistent with the compact and symmetrical assembly type bushing, and the bushing 22 is exited by rotating the shaft 2, but only one device of the present application is used at this time, and a gasket 24 needs to be placed at the bottom of the blind hole, and the gasket 24 is pressed during the rotation of the shaft 2 to drive the annular shell 1 to drive the puller 3, and the puller 3 drives the bushing 22 to move in the opposite direction.

[0042] The above merely describes specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any skilled person in the art can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solutions of the present application, or modify equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application, by using the technical contents disclosed above. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application, without departing from the content of the technical solutions of the present application, shall fall within the protection scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
