[0002] The connecting rod is a moving part that connects to the engine piston. It must have sufficient strength under the reciprocating motion inside the cylinder. Therefore, the bushing embedded in the small end bore of the connecting rod needs to be durable and reliable.
[0003] In existing technologies, bushings and connecting rods are typically assembled using a press-fit method. The main process involves fixing the connecting rod to the base of the equipment body, then using a clamp to fix the bushing, and driving the clamp and bushing to move downwards synchronously to press the bushing into the inner hole of the small end of the connecting rod. Existing clamps usually include a clamp assembly and a pressure rod assembly. The pressure rod assembly is mainly used for positioning the bushing, while the clamp assembly is mainly used for fixing the bushing. The two work together to achieve the positioning and fixation of the bushing.
[0004] In existing clamps, the movement of the clamp components is mainly accomplished by cylinders, which are controlled by switches. When clamping the bushing, the operator needs to press the switch while positioning the bushing, which can easily lead to operational errors, affecting the positioning accuracy of the bushing and further impacting the installation effect between the bushing and the connecting rod.

[0047] It is not difficult to understand that through the mutual cooperation of butt joint surface 10, bush 100, movable part 31, response part 32, drive portion 22 and radial telescopic portion 21 in the above scheme, when bush 100 is positioned with butt joint surface 10, drive portion 22 is directly controlled to act through response part 32, and then radial telescopic portion 21 is controlled to fix bush 100, without the need for operating personnel to press the switch, so that the positioning accuracy can be increased while bush 100 is clamped, and errors caused by manual operation are avoided.

[0049] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , in order to facilitate the assembly of the whole bush clamp, pressure lever assembly 1 includes detachably connected pressure head base 11 and pressure block seat 12;Drive portion 22 is installed on pressure head base 11;Pressure block seat 12 is provided with first installation groove 121, and the upper end of first installation groove 121 has first opening 1211;Movable part 31 is installed in first installation groove 121 through first opening 1211.

Specifically, in the embodiment, the block 312 and the extension rod 311 are both provided as cylindrical rods, and the diameter of the block 312 is greater than the diameter of the extension rod 311.
[0051] It is not difficult to understand that the structure of the first mounting slot 121 is matched with the movable part 31, which comprises a portion matched with the extension rod 311 and a portion matched with the block 312; when the movable part 31 is installed to the first mounting slot 121 through the first opening 1211 and located at the lower limit position (but not separated from the pressing block seat 12), the portion of the extension rod 311 protrudes from the first abutting plane 101.

[0056] It can be understood that when the power source 221 drives the lever 222 to move downward at one end, the pull rod 223 can be driven to move upward at the other end, and then the rubber sleeve is driven to move upward, so that the rubber sleeve is in contact with the end with larger diameter of the tapered matching surface 131, and then the rubber sleeve is stretched outward in the radial direction (i.e. in the direction of the bushing 100), so as to increase the acting force between the outer wall surface of the rubber sleeve and the bushing 100, and realize the fixation of the bushing 100. Conversely (i.e. the rubber sleeve moves downward), the acting force between the rubber sleeve and the bushing 100 is reduced, and the rubber sleeve and the bushing 100 are released.

Any non-essential changes and replacements made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present application shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
