Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clip springs, in particular to an automatic clip spring installation device. Background Art

[0002] Circlips, also known as retaining rings or snap rings, are a type of fastener that is mainly used to be installed in shaft grooves or hole grooves of machines or equipment to prevent axial movement of parts on the shaft or hole. Circlips are simple in structure but powerful in function. They are usually made of spring steel or stainless steel and have strong elasticity and restoring force. They are generally composed of one or more bent elastic sheets with different shapes and sizes. After proper treatment and processing, they can complete various metal connection, torsion, fastening, clamping and force transmission functions.

[0003] During the use of existing retaining spring installation equipment, due to the different sizes of retaining springs installed on products, the retaining spring needs to be expanded inwardly after feeding. Such expansion method and pressure need to be manually controlled to assist the retaining spring installation equipment in completing the docking installation of the retaining spring and the product. Such operation is not only cumbersome and inefficient in retaining spring installation, but long-term use also delays the overall automated operation efficiency of the retaining spring installation equipment and the production of subsequent products.

[0027] The detection frame 7 is arranged above the clamp spring installation body 1 and is used to detect the internal expansion pressure of the clamp spring. A clamp spring placement table 8 is fixedly installed above the detection frame 7, and a pressure sensor 9 is arranged below the clamp spring placement table 8.

[0028] A circlip mounting frame 10 is arranged above the circlip mounting body 1, and is used to drive the circlip to complete the installation work. A first electric slide rail 11 is arranged on one side of the circlip mounting frame 10, and a first electric slide sleeve 12 is movably connected to the outside of the first electric slide rail 11, and a movable clamping sleeve 13 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first electric slide sleeve 12, and a pneumatic chuck 14 is arranged on the outside of the movable clamping sleeve 13;

[0029] The second electric slide rail 15 is arranged on the other side of the retaining spring mounting frame 10, and is used to drive the retaining spring inner expansion rod 18 to move its position. The second electric slide rail 15 is externally movably connected with a second electric sleeve 16. A telescopic cylinder 17 is arranged on the outside of the second electric sleeve 16. One end of the telescopic cylinder 17 is fixedly installed with the retaining spring inner expansion rod 18. The retaining spring inner expansion rod 18 moves to the top of the retaining spring, and the retaining spring inner expansion rod 18 is driven by the telescopic cylinder 17 to gradually descend to expand the retaining spring inwardly. As the retaining spring inner expansion rod 18 descends, the pressure of the retaining spring inner expansion also gradually increases. At this time, the pressure sensor 9 under the retaining spring placement table 8 can detect the retaining spring pressure in real time. When the current inner expansion pressure is reached, the retaining spring inner expansion rod 18 will drive the expanded retaining spring to dock and install the product.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an automatic feeding plate 2 is fixedly installed above the retaining spring installation body 1, and a vibrating feeding tray 3 is fixedly installed above the automatic feeding plate 2. The retaining springs can be placed in batches in the vibrating feeding tray 3, and the vibrating feeding tray 3 can feed at a uniform speed. A fixing frame 4 is arranged on one side of the vibrating feeding tray 3, and a loading rack 5 is fixedly installed above the fixing frame 4. A retaining spring slot 6 is provided on the surface of the loading rack 5. The retaining spring coming out of the vibrating feeding tray 3 will enter the retaining spring slot 6 of the loading rack 5 for storage, and subsequent automated installation work is carried out. The movable sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the pneumatic chuck 14, and the retaining spring inner expansion rod 18 and the telescopic cylinder 17 are vertically distributed. The retaining spring inner expansion rod 18 is driven by the telescopic cylinder 17 to gradually descend to expand the retaining spring internally, thereby completing the retaining spring internal expansion work.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an electric conveying frame 19 is arranged above the retaining spring installation body 1, and a limit rod 20 is fixedly installed outside the electric conveying frame 19. The electric conveying frame 19 can drive the product to the operating range of the retaining spring inner expansion rod 18, and assist the retaining spring inner expansion rod 18 to complete the retaining spring installation work. A product placement plate 21 is arranged above the electric conveying frame 19, and a product retaining spring installation groove 22 is opened inside the product placement plate 21. The product placement plate 21 has a simple structure and is easy to operate. If a fault occurs, it is also convenient for maintenance personnel to replace it in time without delaying the normal use of the device.

[0032] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: firstly, the external power supply is turned on, and the springs to be installed are taken out and placed in batches in the vibration feeding tray 3, and then the products to be installed with the springs are taken out and placed on the product placement plate 21 of the electric conveying rack 19, and then the vibration feeding tray 3 can be started to drive the springs to discharge, and the springs discharged will enter the spring clamping groove 6 of the loading rack 5 for storage, and the subsequent automated installation work is carried out, and then the switch of the first electric slide rail 11 is turned on, and the first electric slide rail 11 and the first electric sleeve 12 are connected. Driven by the pneumatic chuck 14, the pneumatic chuck 14 moves to the top of the circlip groove 6, and the clamping claw is extended downward to clamp the fed circlip and place it on the circlip placement table 8. Then the same operation is performed to turn on the switch of the second electric slide rail 15, so that the second electric slide rail 15 and the second electric slide sleeve 16 drive the circlip inner expansion rod 18 to move to the top of the circlip, and then turn on the switch of the telescopic cylinder 17, so that the telescopic cylinder 17 drives the circlip inner expansion rod 18 to gradually descend to expand the circlip. As the circlip inner expansion rod 18 descends, the pressure of the circlip inner expansion gradually increases. At this time, the circlip placement table 8 The pressure sensor 9 below can detect the pressure of the retaining spring in real time. When the current internal expansion pressure is reached, the retaining spring internal expansion rod 18 will drive the internally expanded retaining spring to be lifted, and then driven by the second electric slide rail 15 and the second electric slide sleeve 16 to the top of the product placement plate 21 driven by the electric conveying rack 19, and the retaining spring is placed in the product retaining spring installation groove 22 of the product for docking and installation with the product. In this way, the retaining spring installation equipment meets the purpose of fully automated retaining spring installation, and in the installation link of the internal expansion of the retaining spring, the frequency of manual operation is reduced. The overall automation greatly improves the installation production efficiency of the retaining spring installation equipment. At the same time, under the detection of the pressure sensor 9 under the retaining spring placement table 8, the internal expansion pressure of the retaining spring can be accurately controlled. Finally, after completing the installation and use of all the retaining spring installation equipment according to the above operations, turn off the switch of the vibrating feeding tray 3, turn off the switch of the first electric slide rail 11 and the second electric slide rail 15, turn off the switch of the telescopic cylinder 17, and cut off the external power supply if it is not used for a long time. In this way, the use process of the automated retaining spring installation equipment is completed.
