[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a plum blossom bearing retainer ring installation tool, including a clamping part 1, a positioning part 2, a push rod 3 and a handle 4. The push rod 3 is installed inside the handle 4 and is connected to the positioning part 2. The clamping part 1 includes a limiting shell 5 and a clamping hook 6. The limiting shell 5 is sleeved on the positioning part 2. The positioning part 2 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 7. The clamping hook 6 is fixedly installed on the mounting holes 7. The positioning part 2 is provided with an elastic element 8. The push rod 3 is also provided with a pressing plate 9. The pressing plate 9 is connected to the elastic element 8. The bottom of the clamping hook 6 is bent at 85°. The inner side of the clamping hook 6 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0026] Specifically, the positioning part 2 is also provided with a guide groove 10, which is connected to the mounting hole 7. By providing the guide groove 10, the clamping hook 6 can enter and be fixed in the mounting hole 7 more smoothly during the installation process, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of the installation. The design of the guide groove 10 also enables the clamping hook 6 to move along a predetermined trajectory during installation, avoiding damage or misalignment caused by improper installation.
[0027] Specifically, a thrust pad 11 is provided at the end of the push rod 3 to increase the friction between the push rod 3 and the inside of the handle 4. By providing the thrust pad 11, the push rod 3 can be more stably fixed inside the handle 4 during use, avoiding operational errors or safety hazards caused by the push rod 3 becoming loose. The thrust pad 11 also makes it easier for users to operate and improves work efficiency.
[0028] Specifically, a sealing gasket 12 is provided between the limiting housing 5 and the positioning part 2. By providing the sealing gasket 12, the connection between the limiting housing 5 and the positioning part 2 is made tighter, effectively preventing dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the tool, ensuring the cleanliness and service life of the tool. The sealing gasket 12 also plays a buffering role, reducing friction and wear between the limiting housing 5 and the positioning part 2, further improving the durability and stability of the tool.
[0029] Specifically, the grip 4 is also equipped with an anti-slip pad 13. By setting the anti-slip pad 13, the user can hold the grip 4 more firmly during use, avoiding operational errors or safety hazards caused by slipping hands. The anti-slip pad 13 also increases the comfort of the grip 4, making it easier and more comfortable for the user to use for a long time, thus improving work comfort and efficiency.
[0030] Specifically, the limiting housing 5 and the clamping hook 6 are made of high-strength alloy material. Furthermore, the elastic element 8 is a spring. Additionally, the handle 4 is longer than the sum of the lengths of the push rod 3 and the positioning part 2. These features enhance the strength and wear resistance of the plum blossom bearing retainer ring installation tool during use, enabling it to withstand greater clamping and impact forces. The spring, as the elastic element 8, ensures the stability and reliability of the clamping hook 6 during clamping. The spring's elasticity also allows the clamping hook 6 to adapt more flexibly when clamping retainer rings of different sizes, improving the tool's versatility and practicality. The handle 4's length, exceeding the sum of the lengths of the push rod 3 and the positioning part 2, allows for easier operation by the user. Furthermore, the handle 4's design conforms to ergonomic principles, providing greater comfort during prolonged use and reducing hand fatigue.
[0031] A specific application example of this embodiment is as follows:
[0032] When using this device, the user first places the pendulum bearing in the predetermined position, and then aligns the clamping hook 6 of the device with the retaining ring of the pendulum bearing. By pushing the push rod 3 with the handle 4, the push rod 3 moves the positioning part 2 and the clamping part 1 forward. Under the action of the elastic element 8, the clamping hook 6 can flexibly clamp the retaining ring. Because the bottom of the clamping hook 6 is bent at 85° and has anti-slip texture on the inner side, it can firmly clamp the retaining ring, preventing it from slipping during installation. At the same time, the design of the guide groove 10 allows the clamping hook 6 to enter and be fixed more smoothly in the mounting hole 7 during installation, improving the accuracy and efficiency of installation. After clamping the retaining ring, the user continues to push the handle 4, causing the push rod 3 to move the entire device forward until the retaining ring is successfully installed on the pendulum bearing. Throughout the installation process, because the handle 4 is equipped with an anti-slip pad 13, the user can firmly grip the handle 4, avoiding operational errors or safety hazards caused by slipping.
