Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fixing mechanism technology, specifically a fixing mechanism for aerospace calipers. Background Technology

[0002] A retaining ring fixing mechanism is a device or structure used to fix and position retaining rings (or similar components) in aerospace equipment. This fixing mechanism is typically designed with specific clamping, locking, or positioning functions to ensure the stability and reliability of the retaining ring in the aerospace equipment. It may include various components such as clamping plates, drive mechanisms, fixing blocks, and rotating rods, which work together to achieve the fixing and positioning of the retaining ring. In the aerospace field, retaining ring fixing mechanisms need to withstand extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperature, high pressure, and strong radiation; therefore, their design and manufacturing requirements are extremely stringent.

[0003] Existing aerospace circlips require clamping and fixing during machining. However, existing fixing mechanisms typically clamp only the inner or outer ring of the aerospace circlip. Changing the machining surface necessitates changing the fixture and resetting the tool, which is cumbersome and detrimental to mass production. It also wastes considerable time. Therefore, we need to propose a new fixing mechanism for aerospace circlips. Utility Model Content

A limiting pin 13 is provided on the upper part of the support frame 3. The limiting pin 13 passes through the support frame 3, the first bearing 7 and the flipping rod 6 respectively.

[0024] The top of the flipping mechanism is provided with an outer ring clamping mechanism for clamping the outer ring of the aerospace caliper ring; the outer ring clamping mechanism includes a first mounting plate 14, which is located on the top of the flipping plate 8. A first clamping plate 15 is located above the first mounting plate 14. A first positioning hole 16 is opened above the first clamping plate 15. A corresponding first positioning rod 17 is arranged inside the first positioning hole 16. A first mounting hole 18 is opened above the flipping plate 8. The first mounting hole 18 corresponds to the first positioning rod 17. A placement plate 19 is located at the top of the first mounting plate 14. A second clamping plate 20 is located at the top of the placement plate 19. A second positioning hole 21 is opened above the second clamping plate 20.

[0027] In summary, its working principle can be described as follows:

[0028] When aerospace circlips need to be processed, the blank ring is placed on the surface of the first mounting plate 14, the first electric slide rail 24 is activated to move the placement plate 19, and the second clamping plate 20 moves toward the first clamping plate 15 to clamp the aerospace circlip blank ring, and the inner ring of the aerospace circlip blank ring is processed.

[0029] If the blank rings are of inconsistent sizes, adjust the opening size of the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 20. Pull out the first positioning rod 17 and the second positioning rod 22, and bend the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 20 to the required opening size. Then insert the first positioning rod 17 and the second positioning rod 22 into the corresponding first mounting hole 18 and second mounting hole 23 through the first positioning hole 16 and the second positioning hole 21 respectively to complete the adjustment.

[0030] After the inner ring of the aerospace circlip blank is machined, it is removed. The output end of the electric cylinder 11 retracts, and the limit pin 13 is removed. The motor 5 starts the transmission flipping rod 6, causing the flipping plate 8 to flip. The infrared generator 30 emits an infrared signal, which is received by the infrared sensor 31 through the infrared through hole 29. An electrical signal is transmitted to the controller, controlling the motor 5 to stop rotating. The output end of the electric cylinder 11 extends into the limit hole 12, inserts the limit pin 13 to lock the flipping plate 8, and prepares to clamp the inner ring of the aerospace circlip blank.

[0031] The second electric slide rail 26 is activated, bringing the two push blocks 27 closer together. Then, the aerospace clasp blank ring is placed so that its inner ring aligns with its silicone plate 28. The second electric slide rail 26 is then activated again, causing the two push blocks 27 to separate and clamp the inner ring of the aerospace clasp blank ring.
