DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example:

[0034] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention discloses a micro cam expansion mechanism, comprising a telescopic cylinder 41. In this embodiment, two micro cam expansion mechanisms are provided on the device. Both telescopic cylinders 41 are placed on a bracket.

[0035] A support plate 42 is fixed to the top of the telescopic cylinder 41. Two connecting rods 43 are symmetrically fixed to the support plate 42. A base 44 is fixed to the top of both connecting rods 43. A first through-hole 45 is defined at the top of the base 44, with one end of the first through-hole 45 extending through the base 44. A block 7 is installed on one side of the base 44, blocking one end of the opening of the first through-hole 45.

[0036] It also includes a placement tube for placing the retaining ring. The placement tube includes a fixed part 1 and a movable part 11. The fixed part 1 is fixedly arranged on the base 44, and the inner hole of the fixed part 1 is connected to the first through hole 45. The movable part 11 is slidably arranged in the first through hole 45, and the movable part 11 moves in the horizontal direction. The movable part 11 is located between the stop block 7 and the fixed part 1. Two first sliding grooves 6 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the first through hole 45, and two moving blocks 61 are symmetrically provided on the outer side of the movable part 11. The moving blocks 61 are located in the corresponding first sliding grooves 6, and the moving blocks 61 are slidably connected to the corresponding first sliding grooves 6.

[0037] A first placement slot 2 is defined at the top of both the fixed portion 1 and the movable portion 11. One end of each of the first placement slots 2 extends through the midplane of the fixed portion 1 and the midplane of the movable portion 11, respectively. A protrusion 21 is located at the top of each of the first placement slots 2. The height of the protrusion 21 is equal to the depth of the inner hole of the first placement slot 2.

[0038] When the midplane of the fixed portion 1 aligns with the midplane of the movable portion 11, the two first placement slots 2 together form a placement space 3, and the retaining spring is placed in the placement space 3. The two protrusions 21 are both located in the small hole in the retaining spring. The depth of the inner hole of the first placement slot 2 is 1.2-1.3 times the thickness of the retaining spring. In this embodiment, the depth of the inner hole of the first placement slot 2 is 1.2 times the thickness of the retaining spring. The retaining spring is placed in the placement space 3, and there is a movable space between the retaining spring and the inner wall of the placement space 3. The movable space meets the spatial requirements when the retaining spring is deformed.

[0039] To further restrict the motion path of the movable portion 11, two first limiting surfaces 8 are symmetrically machined on the outer side of the movable portion 11. These first limiting surfaces 8 are perpendicular to the midplane of the movable portion 11. Two second limiting surfaces 81 are symmetrically extended outward from the midplane end of the fixed portion 1. When the movable portion 11 is in contact with the fixed portion 1, both first limiting surfaces 8 align with the midplanes of the corresponding second limiting surfaces 81.

[0040] The mechanism further includes a moving assembly 4, which changes the distance between the two protruding columns 21. A fixing pin is symmetrically provided on the lower half of the outer side of the movable portion 11, and a bearing 46 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing pin.

[0041] A sliding block 47 is slidably provided on the two connecting rods 43, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 41 passes through the placement plate 42 and is connected to the sliding block 47. The telescopic cylinder 41 drives the sliding block 47 to move along the height direction of the telescopic cylinder 41.

[0042] The sliding block 47 extends symmetrically outwards from one side of the fixed portion 1 to form two vertical plates 5 , and the movable portion 11 is partially located between the two vertical plates 5 .

[0043] A second through hole 51 is formed on one side of each vertical plate 5 . The second through hole 51 is tilted. The bearing 46 is located in the corresponding second through hole 51 . The bearing 46 contacts the inner wall of the corresponding second through hole 51 .

[0044] When the bearing 46 contacts the uppermost end of the second through hole 51 , the fixed portion 1 contacts the movable portion 11 .

[0045] When the bearing 46 is located at the lowermost end of the corresponding second through hole 51 , the fixed portion 1 is out of contact with the movable portion 11 .

[0046] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is:

[0047] The telescopic cylinder 41 is powered by mains electricity and an air compressor outside the device, and the telescopic mechanism is controlled by a PLC controller outside the device.

[0048] Before operation, the fixed portion 1 is kept in contact with the movable portion 11. The operator places the retaining spring flat in the placement space 3 and ensures that both bosses 21 are located in the retaining spring holes.

[0049] The telescopic cylinder 41 is started by the PLC controller, and the telescopic cylinder 41 drives the sliding block 47 to move upward along the straight line direction of the connecting rod 43 itself. The sliding block 47 drives the two vertical plates 5 to move upward, and the two vertical plates 5 drive the corresponding second through holes 51 to move. As the second through holes 51 move, the second through holes 51 drive the corresponding bearings 46 to move.

[0050] The movable portion 11 is restricted by the moving block 61 and the first sliding groove 6 .

[0051] The bearing 46 can only move horizontally, driving the movable portion 11 to move within the first through hole 45, causing the movable portion 11 to break contact with the fixed portion 1. The movable portion 11 drives the corresponding protrusion 21 to move. As the distance between the two protrusions 21 increases, both protrusions 21 come into contact with the retaining spring, opening the retaining spring.

[0052] The telescopic cylinder 41 remains in its current state, and the external robot places the shaft in the fixed tube. After the shaft passes through the hole between the retaining spring, the movable part 11 and the fixed part 1 and reaches the appropriate position.

[0053] The PLC controller again controls the movement of telescopic cylinder 41, which drives slide block 47 back to its initial position. Simultaneously, under the action of vertical plate 5, movable portion 11 and the retaining spring return to their initial positions. The retaining spring is now secured to the shaft, and the shaft is no longer in contact with movable portion 11 or fixed portion 1. Finally, an external robotic arm, under the control of the PLC controller, removes the shaft.

[0054] The same is true for the disassembly of the circlip, where the axle on which the circlip is housed is placed on the fixed pipe, and two bosses 21 are all positioned in the circlip eyelet. After the circlip is opened, the axle is taken out.

[0055] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
