Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of O-ring installation, and more specifically to an O-ring installation mechanism. Background Art

[0002] An O-ring, or O-shaped sealing ring, is a rubber sealing ring with a circular cross-section. O-rings are a crucial component of industrial products, used to seal a wide range of mechanical equipment. With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, the demand for automated and intelligent O-ring production equipment is increasing. Automated O-ring assembly plays a significant role in improving assembly efficiency.

[0003] Currently, O-rings are usually manually applied to workpieces. However, due to the varying proficiency of operators and fatigue from prolonged operation, the O-ring application efficiency is low. Furthermore, manual O-ring application also results in unstable force exerted on the O-ring, which can damage the O-ring and affect the sealing effect.
