[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0023] Example:
[0024] See also Figure 1A universal tool for assembling a retaining ring includes a retaining ring base 6 and a clamping mechanism. The retaining ring base 6 is used to place a connector screw sleeve 10, and the clamping mechanism is used to clamp the retaining ring on the connector 9. A lifting mechanism is arranged under the retaining ring base 6, and the lifting mechanism is used to adjust the retaining ring base 9 to a suitable height according to the size of the connector screw sleeve 10.
[0025] The clamping mechanism includes two relatively arranged circlip clamps 7 , which are respectively located at two sides of the circlip base 6 . The two circlip clamps 7 can move relative to each other, and the circlip is clamped by the relative movement of the two circlip clamps 7 .
[0026] In the present application, a groove is provided inside the circlip clamp 7, and when the circlip clamp 7 contacts the circlip, the circlip is located in the groove. The circlip base 6 and the circlip clamp 7 can be designed to adapt to different connectors.
[0027] In the present application, the clamping mechanism also includes two groups of moving mechanisms, and the spring clamp heads 7 are installed on the top surfaces of the moving mechanisms. The two groups of moving mechanisms are used to drive the two spring clamp heads 7 to move relative to each other.
[0028] In the present application, the moving mechanism includes a guide rail 4, a slider 5 and a transmission structure. The slider 5 is installed on the top of the guide rail 4. The guide rail 4 and the slider 5 are slidably matched. The transmission structure is used to move the slider 5 along the guide rail 4.
[0029] In the present application, a slide groove is provided on the top surface of the guide rail 4 , and a slide bar matching the slide groove is provided at the bottom of the slider 5 . The slide groove cooperates with the slide bar to limit the vertical position of the slider 5 .
[0030] In the present application, a base 3 is provided below the two sets of guide rails 4, and a cavity is provided below the base 3;
[0031] The transmission structure includes a guide plate 2, which is arranged in the cavity and is rotatably connected to the base 3. A handle 8 is arranged on one side of the guide plate 2, and the handle 8 is used to drive the guide plate 2 to rotate.
[0032] Grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the base 3 , and the guide rails 4 are installed in the grooves; wherein the guide rails 4 and the base 3 form a guiding structure.
[0033] Two first through slots are provided on the top surface of the guide plate 2, and there is an angle between the extension direction of the first through slots and the moving direction of the two retaining spring clamps. A second through slot is provided in the groove on the top of the base 3, and a third through slot is provided in the slide groove on the top surface of the guide rail 4. There is an angle between the extension directions of the first through slot and the second through slot, and the second through slot and the third through slot have the same extension direction and the same moving direction as the two retaining spring clamps; a positioning block is provided in the first through slot, and the positioning block is slidably matched with the first through slot, and a positioning pin is provided on the top of the positioning block, and the positioning pin passes through the second through slot and the third through slot in turn and is connected to the slider 5, and the second through slot and the third through slot guide the moving direction of the positioning pin.
[0034] The guide plate 2 is driven to rotate by rotating the handle 8. Figure 1 As shown, the handle 8 rotates along the front-to-back direction of the base 3, and the first through slot rotates along with the guide plate 2. Since the second through slot and the third through slot are fixed, the second through slot and the third through slot limit the moving direction of the locating pin, so that the locating pin can only move along the extension direction of the second through slot and the third through slot, thereby driving the slider 5 and the retaining spring clamp 7 above the third through slot to move relative to each other. After clamping the retaining spring, the handle 8 can be rotated in the opposite direction.
[0035] In the present application, a bottom plate 1 is also included, and a base 3 and a guide plate 2 are both arranged on the top surface of the bottom plate 1, and the guide plate 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 1. The bottom plate 1 plays the role of supporting and fixing the main body; the clamping spring base 6 is arranged above the base 3 and connected to the base 3 through a lifting mechanism.
[0036] Working principle: first, place the connector sleeve 10 in the retaining spring base 6. A lifting mechanism is designed in the retaining spring base 6 to adjust the height of the retaining spring base 6. The retaining spring base 6 is adjusted to an appropriate height according to the size of the connector sleeve 10, and then the connector 9 with the retaining spring is placed flat on the upper end surface of the connector sleeve 10. Finally, the handle 8 is turned to drive the slider 5 to slide toward the center through the guiding effect of the transmission structure and the second through groove so that the retaining spring clamp head 7 clamps the retaining spring. The appropriate adjustment of the height of the retaining spring base 6 determines the height position of the retaining spring, thereby ensuring that the retaining spring clamp head 7 can be quickly clamped when tightened. Compared with the method of using pliers to visually clamp the retaining spring, this tooling improves efficiency, and the torque design of the handle transmission structure can also reduce the fatigue of long-term operation, which is more efficient and quick.
