Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of production assembly technology, specifically relating to an assembly fixture for a symmetrical arc-shaped retaining ring. Background Technology

[0002] The semi-circular retaining ring is a component of the oxygen supply hose, mainly used for fixing and limiting the oxygen hose and wire rope, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown. The middle position of the left and right retaining rings is used to fix the hose itself, and the semi-circular holes on both sides are used to fix the steel wire rope. One end of the steel wire rope is fixed to the aircraft deck, and the other end is connected to the separation mechanism of the oxygen supply hose. When the pilot ejects from the aircraft, the seat and the aircraft are relatively displaced. The steel wire rope fixed to the aircraft deck pulls the separation mechanism on the oxygen supply hose, realizing the rapid disconnection of the onboard oxygen supply source from the seat-mounted oxygen supply equipment.

[0003] Currently, assembly mainly relies on two employees working together. After inserting the hose and the steel wire ropes at both ends into the two symmetrical semi-circular retaining rings, one person holds the retaining rings in place with both hands; the other person inserts the bolt into the retaining ring mounting hole from one end and tightens it with a hex nut at the other end. Because the components of oxygen products are very small in size, requiring two people to work together makes assembly quite laborious. Summary of the Invention
