[0002] Cylinder circlips, also known as circlips or retaining rings, are fasteners that are usually installed in the shaft grooves or hole grooves of machines or equipment. They are designed to prevent axial movement of parts on the shaft or hole. The shape of the circlip is mostly circular, with a notch at one end, which is locked by screws to maintain the stability of the equipment. In addition, there is a circlip that is similar in shape to a spring, which has a certain degree of stretchability and can also keep the object in a stable working state. In the application of valve groups, the role of circlips is particularly obvious. The role of the cylinder structure is to make the connection between the cylinder and the cylinder head tighter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model proposes a multi-axis linkage spring positioning and grasping device, including a three-axis module 1, which is a purchased part and includes three directions of XYZ axes.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a connecting plate 4 is fixed on the sliding plate 3 of the vertical module 2 of the three-axis module 1, and a rotating motor 5 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 4. The output of the rotating motor 5 passes through the connecting plate 4 and is connected to a fixed frame. The rotating motor 5 can be a servo motor, which can drive the fixed frame to rotate to adjust the direction of the fixed frame. In conjunction with the three-axis module 1, five-axis movement is realized, which is more suitable for work on an automated production line.

[0025] The fixing frame is provided with a pressing assembly 6, wherein Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the fixing frame includes two groups of positioning plates 14 arranged in parallel, a connecting plate is provided between the positioning plates 14, the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4, the positioning plate 14 and the connecting plate form a C-shaped frame structure, a limit block 7 is provided at the bottom of the fixing frame, the limit block 7 extends out of the bottom of the positioning plate 14, and is connected to the positioning plate 14 by a clamping block, a slide groove 8 is provided in the limit block 7, and the slide groove 8 is horizontally slidably connected with two groups of sliders 9, the slider 9 includes a C-shaped block, and a wedge surface 17 is provided inside the C-shaped block. The push block 11 includes a connecting portion, The connecting part is connected to the pressing assembly 6, and an inverted V-shaped part 16 is provided at the lower part of the connecting part. The wedge-shaped surface 17 is pressed with the V-shaped part 16 of the pushing block 11. Since the slider 9 is connected to the inner side of the limit block 7 through the slide rail groove 8, the slider 9 can move horizontally along the inner side of the limit block 7. When the push block 11 presses the slider 9 downward, the slider 9 is displaced in the horizontal direction, that is, it moves away from each other. An elastic member 12 is provided between the C-shaped blocks, and the elastic member 12 can be a spring. When the push block 11 moves upward, the elastic member 12 between the C-shaped blocks brings the two closer to each other. The lower part of the slider 9 is respectively connected with a positioning claw 10, and the positioning claw 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 9 by a screw. The end of the positioning claw 10 is provided with a cylindrical positioning nail 18, which is used to be inserted into the holes of the two sections of the clip spring. When inserted into the holes at both ends of the clip spring and the sliders 9 move away from each other, the clip spring can be tensioned and grasped. This method can adjust the distance of the slider 9 to adapt to clip springs of different specifications.

[0026] The above-mentioned pressing assembly 6 includes a driving motor 20. In order to ensure the accuracy of the up and down movement, a screw rod 21 module is selected. However, the slider 9 of the conventional screw rod 21 module is in the middle of the screw rod 21. When the push block 11 is matched, the position is easy to interfere with the outside. Therefore, in this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the output end of the driving motor 20 is connected to the screw rod 21, the screw rod 21 passes through the fixing plate 22 fixed between the fixing frames, and the bottom extends into the pushing block 11. The connecting portion at the top of the pushing block 11 is provided with a cylindrical hole 24, and the screw rod 21 extends into the cylindrical hole 24. The screw rod 21 is externally threadedly connected with a screw rod sleeve 23, and the screw rod sleeve 23 is fixedly connected to the pushing block 11, so when the screw rod 21 rotates, the bottom extends into the cylindrical hole 24 without affecting the pushing block 11, and as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, since the top of the limit block 7 is provided with an opening 15, the push block 11 extends into the opening 15 and presses on the slider 9. The push block 11 is restricted by the limit block 7 and will not rotate. After the screw sleeve 23 is fixed to the push block 11, the screw 21 rotates, which will drive the screw sleeve 23 and the push block 11 to move up and down along the screw 21, thereby realizing the action of the push block 11 pushing the slider 9.

[0027] In addition, it should be noted that when positioning the hole of the retaining spring, in order to prevent the retaining spring from being offset, a clamping column 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limit block 7. The clamping column 19 is a hollow structure with a C-shaped bottom and is located between the positioning claws 10. When the limit block 7 presses the circular part of the retaining spring, the positioning claws 10 are inserted into the hole to prevent the retaining spring from being displaced during insertion, resulting in difficulty in positioning, and a avoidance groove 13 is provided at the bottom of the clamping column 19 to prevent interference with the positioning column.
