Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of batch assembly tool technology, and specifically to an installation tool and working method for a locking washer. Background Technology

[0002] There are no dedicated tools for assembling locking washers. To achieve high production efficiency, the assembly unit uses automated equipment or auxiliary tooling. Currently, the assembly process involves employees picking up the locking washers, pre-installing them on the projection weld studs, and then manually installing them into place. Because a large number of locking washers are required, employees repeatedly pick up, pre-install, and install them, resulting in low mechanization and reduced assembly efficiency.

[0003] The following problems exist in the assembly process of existing locking washers:

[0004] (1) When installing locking washers, employees take a batch of locking washers from the material box and place them in their hands, and then assemble them one by one. During assembly, the locking washers are placed in the operator's hands or in a small material box. The process of taking out the locking washers is required every time an assembly is performed, which is inconvenient.

[0005] (2) No special tools are used for assembling the locking washers. They are usually installed manually or with pliers. Assembly by manual labor or pliers is labor-intensive and results in poor assembly consistency.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an installation tool and working method for locking washers to solve the problems of high labor intensity, poor assembly consistency, and low assembly efficiency in the assembly of existing locking washers. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an installation tool and working method for locking washers.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a locking washer installation tool, including a cylinder and a magnetic attraction mechanism. Multiple locking washers are stacked inside the cylinder. Guide grooves are provided on opposite sides of the cylinder. The magnetic attraction mechanism is slidably installed in the guide grooves. The magnetic attraction mechanism is provided with a cylinder and a slide rod. The slide rod slides in the guide groove. The cylinder is set inside the cylinder. A magnet is attached to one side of the cylinder. When the cylinder descends along the guide groove with the slide rod, the magnet attracts the locking washer.

[0009] Preferably, the slide bar includes slide bar one and slide bar two, slide bar one and slide bar two are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the cylinder, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer side of slide bar one.

[0010] Preferably, the guide groove is an inverted "L" shaped through groove.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the cylinder is threadedly connected to the base, and the middle of the base is vertically fixed to a fixing rod, which extends into the inside of the cylinder and passes through the middle through hole of the locking washer.

[0012] Preferably, a positioning mechanism is installed on the upper inner wall of the cylinder. The positioning mechanism includes a fixed seat, ear plates, and a positioning support plate. The fixed seat is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder. Two ear plates are vertically fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed seat, and the positioning support plate is rotatably connected to the middle of the two ear plates.

[0013] Preferably, the ear plate and the positioning support plate are provided with pin holes at corresponding positions, and a pin passes through the pin hole, allowing the positioning support plate to rotate via the pin.

[0014] Preferably, the positioning support plate adopts a direct triangle structure, with one right-angled face of the direct triangle structure close to the fixed base, and the other right-angled face of the direct triangle structure placed horizontally.

[0015] A method for operating a locking washer installation tool includes the following steps:

[0016] S1. When storing, unscrew the base, pass the locking washers through the fixing rod of the base, place them in batches on the base, connect the base and the cylinder, and store the locking washers inside the cylinder. The fixing rod inside the cylinder is used to position the storage position of the locking washers.

[0017] S2. A magnet is attached to the cylinder. The magnetic force of the magnet is used to pick up individual locking pads. The locking pads placed together are separated by the magnetic force. The cylinder runs along the guide groove of the cylinder to the locking pad installation area. The cylinder rotates the handle 180° clockwise to rotate the locking pads that are placed in the opposite direction.

[0018] S3. When the cylinder moves to the bottom support surface of the positioning support plate, the cylinder moves against the bottom support surface of the positioning support plate. After the cylinder moves up, the positioning support plate returns to its original position. When the cylinder falls, because the positioning support plate is in contact with the fixed seat, the cylinder cannot fall and is fixed in that position, thus playing the role of fixing the position.

[0019] S4. The operator holds the cylinder and directly assembles the locking washer that has been flipped to the outside.

[0020] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The present invention relates to an installation tool and working method for locking washers. During assembly, employees place locking washers in batches inside the tool, separate the locking washers using magnets, move them to the installation position, flip them, and the positioning mechanism controls the flipping angle of the magnets to install the locking washers. This method meets the requirements for batch assembly and improves the assembly efficiency of locking washers.

[0022] The locking washer installation tool and working method designed in this invention improve assembly efficiency, reduce the labor intensity of employees, and ensure the consistency of locking washer assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] To improve assembly efficiency and reduce labor intensity, a special tool for installing locking washers is designed. The bottom of the tool has a locking washer storage area where locking washers are placed in batches. The top is designed with a magnetic suction mechanism 3. During operation, the magnetic suction mechanism 3 moves to the material storage area and uses its magnetic force to move the locking washers to the installation area. The installation area is designed with a positioning mechanism 4 to fix the locking washers in place. Operators can then directly assemble the washers using the tool.

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a locking washer installation tool includes a base 1, a cylinder 2, a magnetic attraction mechanism 3, and a positioning mechanism 4.

[0036] 1. Base 1: Base 1 is threadedly connected to cylinder 2 and is installed at the bottom of the tool.

[0037] 2. Cylinder 2: Cylinder 2 has a certain internal space and is made of PVC material. It is used to store locking gaskets. During installation, the operator holds cylinder 2 directly for assembly.

[0038] 3. Magnetic attraction mechanism 3: used to separate the locking pad and move the locking pad to the area to be installed.

[0039] 4. Positioning mechanism 4: The positioning mechanism 4 is welded to the inside of the cylinder 2. When the magnetic suction mechanism 3 moves from bottom to top along the cylinder 2, it moves to the positioning mechanism 4. The positioning mechanism 4 moves accordingly. After the magnetic suction mechanism 3 goes up, the positioning mechanism 4 returns to its original position and locks the magnetic suction mechanism 3 to prevent the magnetic suction mechanism 3 from falling.

[0040] The locking washer installation tool is designed in four parts. The base 1 has a fixing rod 1.1 in the center. The locking washer passes through the fixing rod 1.1 and is then placed on the base 1. The base 1 is threadedly connected to the cylinder 2. When assembling the locking washer, the base 1 is removed, the locking washer is placed on the fixing rod 1.1, and the base 1 is installed to complete the storage of the locking washer. The cylinder 2 is a hollow cylinder connected to the base 1. During installation, the locking washer is directly assembled by holding the cylinder 2. The cylinder 2 has a guide groove 2.1 for the magnetic attraction mechanism 3, which facilitates the separation of the locking washer by the magnetic attraction mechanism 3. The magnetic attraction mechanism 3 is designed to match the cylinder 2 in shape, with extended sliding rods at both ends. Magnets are glued to the cylinder 3.1, and the magnetic attraction force is slightly greater than the weight of a single locking washer. The positioning mechanism 4 is divided into two parts. One part is fixed to the cylinder 2 and connected to the positioning support plate 4.3. The other part is the positioning support plate 4.3. The positioning support plate 4.3 has a right-angled triangular structure, which allows the positioning mechanism 4 to move along when the magnetic attraction mechanism 3 moves from bottom to top. After the magnetic attraction mechanism 3 moves up, the positioning mechanism 4 returns to its original position and locks the magnetic attraction mechanism 3.

[0041] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a specific connection structure for an installation tool for a locking washer is described.

[0042] Multiple locking gaskets are stacked inside the cylinder 2. Guide grooves 2.1 are provided on opposite sides of the cylinder 2. The guide grooves 2.1 are inverted "L" shaped through grooves.

[0043] A magnetic attraction mechanism 3 is slidably installed in the guide groove 2.1. The magnetic attraction mechanism 3 has a cylinder 3.1 and a slide rod. The slide rod slides in the guide groove 2.1. The cylinder 3.1 is set in the cylinder 2. A magnet is attached to one side of the cylinder 3.1. When the cylinder 3.1 descends along the guide groove 2.1 with the slide rod, the magnet attracts the locking pad.

[0044] The slide bar includes slide bar 3.2 and slide bar 3.3. Slide bar 3.2 and slide bar 3.3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the cylinder 3.1. A handle 3.4 is fixedly connected to the outside of slide bar 3.2. The handle 3.4 facilitates the flipping of the cylinder.

[0045] The bottom of the cylinder 2 is threadedly connected to the base 1. The middle of the base 1 is vertically fixed to the fixing rod 1.1. The fixing rod 1.1 extends into the inside of the cylinder 2 and passes through the middle through hole of the locking washer.

[0046] A positioning mechanism 4 is installed on the upper inner wall of the cylinder 2. The positioning mechanism 4 includes a fixed seat 4.1, ear plates 4.2, a positioning support plate 4.3 and a pin 4.4. The fixed seat 4.1 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 2. Two ear plates 4.2 are vertically fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed seat 4.1. The positioning support plate 4.3 is rotatably connected to the middle of the two ear plates 4.2.

[0047] The ear plate 4.2 and the positioning support plate 4.3 are provided with pin holes at corresponding positions. The pin 4.4 passes through the pin holes, and the positioning support plate 4.3 rotates through the pin 4.4.

[0048] The positioning support plate 4.3 adopts a direct triangle structure. One right-angled face of the direct triangle structure is close to the fixed base 4.1, and the other right-angled face of the direct triangle structure is placed horizontally.

[0049] A method for operating a locking washer installation tool includes the following steps:

[0050] 1. During storage, unscrew the base 1, pass the locking gasket through the fixing rod 1.1 of the base 1, and place them in batches on the base 1. Connect the base 1 and the cylinder 2. The locking gasket is stored inside the cylinder 2. The fixing rod 1.1 inside the cylinder 2 is used to position the locking gasket in place to prevent the locking gasket from being misaligned and affecting the operation of the next process.

[0051] 2. A magnet is attached to the cylinder 3.1. The magnetic force of the magnet is slightly greater than the weight of the locking pad. The magnetic force of the magnet is used to pick up individual locking pads. The locking pads placed together are separated by magnetic force. The cylinder 3.1 runs along the guide groove 2.1 of the cylinder 2 to the locking pad installation area. The cylinder 3.1 rotates 180° clockwise by the handle 3.4 to rotate the locking pad that is placed in the opposite direction.

[0052] 3. When the cylinder 3.1 moves to the bottom support surface of the positioning support plate 4.3, the cylinder 3.1 moves against the bottom support surface of the positioning support plate 4.3. After the cylinder 3.1 moves up, the positioning support plate 4.3 returns to its original position. When the cylinder 3.1 falls, because the positioning support plate 4.3 is in contact with the fixed seat 4.1, the cylinder 3.1 cannot fall and is fixed in that position, thus playing a role in fixing the position.

[0053] 4. The operator holds the cylinder 2 and directly assembles the locking washer that has been flipped to the outside.

[0054] This invention is applied in the automotive manufacturing field, specifically in the assembly of locking washers. The invention of the locking washer installation tool effectively solves the problem of the lack of dedicated installation tools for assembling locking washers, improving employee assembly efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and significantly enhancing employee assembly efficiency while ensuring product consistency.

[0055] This invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Anyone should know that any structural changes made under the guidance of this invention, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this invention, fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0056] The technologies, shapes, and structures not described in detail in this invention are all known technologies.
