The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0020] First Embodiment

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of the whole of the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 which is a rear view of the whole of the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 which is a side view of the whole of the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] The utility model provides a circlip machine, which comprises a workbench 105, a circlip mechanism and a transmission and fixing unit group. The transmission and fixing unit group includes a connecting frame 101, a conveyor belt 102, side plates 103, limit rods 104, a plurality of universal wheels 119, a plurality of brake columns 120, sliding columns 106, a feeding machine 107, a feeding pipe 108, support columns 112, a conveying plate 113, a positioning plate 114, positioning grooves 115, a telescopic motor 116, clamping jaws 117 and a discharging plate 118. The circlip mechanism includes a support frame 109, a cylinder 110 and a feeding column 111. Through the foregoing solution, the problem that due to the lack of a basic transmission mechanism and a limiting mechanism, the motor shaft and the circlip still need to be manually transmitted and fixed, resulting in a relatively low production efficiency in the case of certain safety hazards, is solved. It can be understood that in the foregoing solution, when combining the circlip with the motor shaft, the motor shaft can be placed on the conveyor belt 102, and the conveyor belt 102 transports the motor shaft to the conveying plate 113 on the workbench 105. The side plates 103 can effectively prevent the motor shaft from falling off the conveyor belt 102, and the limit columns can effectively separate and transport each motor shaft. After the motor shaft reaches the conveying plate 113, the conveying plate 113 transports the motor shaft to the positioning grooves 115 in the positioning plate 114, and then the clamping jaws 117 clamp and fix the motor shaft. Then, the telescopic motor 116 controls the clamping jaws 117 to drive them in front of the feeding column 111. Then, the feeding machine 107 cooperates with the sliding columns 106 to place the circlip between the feeding column 111 and the motor shaft. Then, the cylinder 110 pushes the feeding column 111 to combine the circlip with the motor shaft. Then, the clamping jaws 117 cooperate with the telescopic motor 116 to transport the assembled motor shaft to the discharging plate 118. Thus, while retaining the original beneficial effects, the problem that due to the lack of a basic transmission mechanism and a limiting mechanism, the motor shaft and the circlip still need to be manually transmitted and fixed, resulting in a relatively low production efficiency in the case of certain safety hazards, is actively and effectively solved.

[0023] For this specific embodiment, the snap ring mechanism is detachably connected to the workbench 105 and is located above the workbench 105. The connecting frame 101 is arranged on one side of the workbench 105. The conveyor belt 102 is detachably connected to the connecting frame 101 and is located above the connecting frame 101.

[0026] Meanwhile, the telescopic motor 116 is detachably connected to the support column 112 and is located on one side of the support column 112. Moreover, the telescopic motor 116 is arranged below the support column 112 near the positioning plate 114.

Also, the clamping jaw 117 is arranged below the positioning plate 114 and on one side of the positioning groove 115. The telescopic motor 116 will effectively control the clamping jaw to extend to a specified position, and the clamping jaw 117 is a functional auxiliary component for clamping and fixing the motor shaft.

[0027] In addition, the support frame 109 is detachably connected to the workbench 105 and is located above the workbench 105.

[0028] When using the present utility model to combine the snap ring with the motor shaft, the motor shaft is placed on the conveyor belt 102. The conveyor belt 102 transports the motor shaft to the transfer plate 113 on the workbench 105. The side plate 103 will effectively prevent the motor shaft from falling off the conveyor belt 102, and the limiting column will effectively separate and transport each motor shaft. After the motor shaft arrives on the transfer plate 113, the transfer plate 113 will transport the motor shaft into the positioning groove 115 in the positioning plate 114. Then, the clamping jaw 117 will clamp and fix the motor shaft. Then, the telescopic motor 116 will control the clamping jaw 117 to drive it in front of the feeding column 111. Then, the feeding machine 107 cooperates with the sliding column 106 to place the snap ring between the feeding column 111 and the motor shaft. Then, the air cylinder 110 pushes the feeding column 111 to combine the snap ring with the motor shaft. Then, the clamping jaw 117 will cooperate with the telescopic motor 116 to transport the assembled motor shaft to the discharge plate 118. Thus, while retaining the original beneficial effects, it actively and effectively solves the problem that due to the lack of a basic transmission mechanism and a limiting mechanism, the motor shaft and the snap ring still need to be manually transported and fixed, resulting in relatively low production efficiency in the case of certain potential safety hazards.
