Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of achieving rapid fastening of threaded retaining rings for non-standard bearings. Specifically, it relates to an installation tool for non-standard threaded retaining rings for bearing fixing and its electric drive device. Background Technology

[0002] Non-standard threaded retaining rings are custom-designed fixing components tailored to the specific needs of a particular product or bearing structure. Their primary function is to provide axial positioning, ensuring the bearing structure remains stable during operation and preventing axial movement, thereby improving the bearing's stability and safety. Non-standard threaded retaining rings for bearings have a wide range of applications, suitable for various mechanical equipment with stringent requirements for high precision and stability, such as in the automotive, aerospace, and precision instrument industries.

[0003] Non-standard threaded retaining rings are made of high-strength materials, such as stainless steel or carbon steel, and their hardness and wear resistance are improved through heat treatment. They are designed as closed annular structures, with external threads on the outer circumference that match the internal threads of the shaft hole for specific products. Two through-holes (such as...) are located at opposite positions on the diameter of the annulus. Figure 1 (As shown).

[0004] When installing non-standard threaded retaining rings, it is essential to ensure the bearing surface is clean and free of foreign objects to avoid affecting the tightening effect of the threaded retaining ring. Simultaneously, appropriate threaded retaining rings and corresponding installation tools should be selected based on the bearing's specifications and dimensions, and the threaded retaining ring should be tightened into the shaft hole according to the specified helical direction to ensure the bearing structure is secure and stable.

[0005] Currently, the installation of non-standard threaded retaining rings still relies on ordinary bearing retaining ring installation tools—circlip pliers (such as...). Figure 2 (As shown). During operation, use the two tips of the snap ring pliers to insert into the two plier holes of the non-standard bearing threaded retaining ring, and then rotate it to the designated position.

[0006] However, in practical applications, the applicant discovered the following problems with manually installing non-standard threaded retaining rings using snap ring pliers:

[0007] 1. Since snap ring pliers are a general-purpose tool, the pliers tip may slip out of the pliers hole when installing the spiral retaining ring, which may damage the appearance of the product.

[0008] 2. After manual installation, the firmness of the retaining ring is difficult to maintain consistently, which may pose a potential safety risk;

[0009] 3. In the mass production stage, manual installation is inefficient and makes it difficult to conduct accurate quantitative inspection of the products. Utility Model Content

[0010] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a non-standard threaded retaining ring installation tool for bearing fixing and its electric drive device, so as to solve the problems of easy slippage of the clamp tip, inconsistent installation firmness, and low efficiency of manual installation in the existing non-standard threaded retaining ring installation tools.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention first provides the following technical solution:

[0013] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a mounting plate coaxially connected to the main body, and the mounting plate is also provided with snap pins that mate with the male and female of the non-standard spiral retaining ring clamp holes.

[0014] Furthermore, the locking post, the mounting plate, and the main body are integrally formed.

[0015] Furthermore, the main body adopts a cylindrical structure, and its end is connected to an electric drive device through a connector or interface.

[0017] Furthermore, a through mounting hole is provided in the radial direction of the main body, which is used to insert a manual crank to achieve manual installation when an electric drive device cannot be used.

[0018] This utility model also discloses an electric drive device, the key feature of which is: a housing with a handle, in which a motor, a reducer, an output shaft, and a torque sensor are integrated; the motor provides rotational power, which is then transmitted to the output shaft after being reduced in speed and increased in torque by the reducer; the output shaft has a connecting part that connects to the end of the non-standard threaded retaining ring installation tool body described above; the torque sensor is integrated into the reducer or the output shaft to monitor the torque during the tightening process in real time, and when the torque reaches a predetermined threshold, the power output of the motor is cut off.

[0019] Furthermore, a trigger is also provided on the housing, which is connected to the control circuit of the motor to turn on the motor.

[0020] Furthermore, a trigger is also provided on the housing, which is connected to the control circuit of the motor to turn on the motor.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this utility model are:

[0022] This utility model employs a customized non-standard threaded retaining ring installation tool, effectively solving the problems of easy slippage of the pliers tips and inconsistent installation firmness.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first embodiment of the present invention is shown: a non-standard threaded retaining ring installation tool for bearing fixing, including a main body 1, wherein the first end of the main body 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 2 corresponding to the clamp hole of the non-standard threaded retaining ring, and the end of the main body 1 is used to connect an electric drive device to receive rotational power.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in a specific implementation, the snap-fit ​​structure 2 includes a mounting plate 201 coaxially connected to the main body 1. The mounting plate 201 also has a snap-fit ​​post 202 that mates with the male and female holes of a non-standard spiral retaining ring pliers. To facilitate tool processing and ensure the structural strength of the tool, the snap-fit ​​post 202, the mounting plate 201, and the main body 1 are integrally formed. Furthermore, to ensure the tool can stably transmit rotational power, the main body 1 is made of high-strength alloy material to ensure it is not easily deformed or damaged during long-term use. In addition, the surface of the main body 1 undergoes special treatment to increase its corrosion resistance and wear resistance, further extending the tool's service life.

[0036] from Figure 3 and Figure 5As can be seen, in this embodiment, the main body 1 adopts a cylindrical structure, and its end is connected to the electric drive device through a connector 101 or interface. The end of the main body 1 is machined into a hexagonal prism structure, and this hexagonal prism structure serves as the connector 101 for connecting to the electric drive device. This design not only facilitates a quick and stable connection with the electric drive device, but also effectively prevents loosening or detachment during rotation. Simultaneously, the hexagonal prism structure also allows the operator to manually rotate the device using tools such as torque wrenches when necessary, increasing the tool's flexibility and practicality. In other embodiments, the connector 101 can also be a threaded connector 101, connecting to the electric drive device through a threaded engagement to improve the stability and reliability of the connection. Specifically, to facilitate tool operation in confined spaces, the length and diameter of the main body 1 can be flexibly designed according to actual needs, ensuring that the tool can smoothly enter and act on the non-standard threaded retaining ring used for bearing fixing.

[0037] During installation, the operator simply aligns the snap-fit ​​structure 2 of the installation tool with the pliers hole of the non-standard threaded retaining ring, and then uses the electric drive to provide rotational power to easily complete the installation of the retaining ring. Due to the male-female mating design of the snap-fit ​​structure 2 and the pliers hole, the problem of the pliers tip easily slipping out is effectively avoided, improving the accuracy and safety of the installation.

[0038] Furthermore, this invention also considers various situations that may arise during actual operation. For example, in cases where an electric drive device cannot be used, the operator can manually install the tool by inserting a manual crank into the mounting hole 102 radially opened in the main body 1. This design not only ensures the normal use of the tool in special circumstances but also improves the tool's emergency response capability and adaptability.

[0039] Figure 7 A second embodiment of the present invention is shown: an electric drive device, including a housing 3 with a handle, wherein a motor 4, a reducer 5, an output shaft 7 and a torque sensor 6 are integrated in the housing 3. The motor 4 provides rotational power, which is transmitted to the output shaft 7 after being reduced in speed and increased in torque by the reducer 5. The output shaft 7 has a connecting part 701 that connects to the end of the non-standard threaded retaining ring installation tool body 1 described above. The torque sensor 6 is integrated into the reducer 5 or the output shaft 7 and is used to monitor the torque during the tightening process in real time. When the torque reaches a predetermined threshold, the power output of the motor 4 is cut off.

[0040] Furthermore, to ensure stable operation of the electric drive unit in various environments, a battery 9 is also installed inside the housing 3 to provide power to the motor 4. The design of the battery 9 eliminates the limitation of the electric drive unit to an external power source, thereby improving the portability and flexibility of the tool. In addition, the battery level of the battery 9 can be displayed in real time via an indicator light on the housing 3, allowing operators to easily monitor the battery status and recharge it promptly, avoiding insufficient power during operation. Specifically, a trigger 8 is also provided on the housing 3, which is connected to the control circuit 10 of the motor 4 to start the motor 4.

[0041] In operation, the operator can connect the output shaft 7 of the electric drive unit to the end of the main body 1 of the installation tool by holding the handle on the housing 3. Then, align the snap-fit ​​structure 2 with the clamp hole of the non-standard threaded retaining ring and gently press the trigger 8. The motor 4 will then start and provide rotational power. As the motor 4 rotates, the reducer 5 reduces the power and increases the torque before transmitting it to the output shaft 7, thereby driving the installation tool to rotate and install. During the installation process, the torque sensor 6 monitors the torque in real time during tightening. When the torque reaches a predetermined threshold, the motor 4 will automatically cut off the power output, thereby ensuring the firmness and accuracy of the installation.

[0042] In this embodiment, a battery 9 is also provided inside the housing 3, which provides power to the motor 4. The battery 9 is preferably a rechargeable lithium battery for long-term use and easy recharging. Furthermore, a charging interface is provided on the housing 3, which is electrically connected to the battery 9 for charging. This design not only improves the portability and endurance of the electric drive device but also allows operators to conveniently charge the tool anytime and anywhere, ensuring continuous and efficient work. In addition, to further improve the safety and stability of the electric drive device, key components such as the motor 4, reducer 5, output shaft 7, and torque sensor 6 are all made of high-quality materials and have undergone rigorous testing and verification to ensure stable and reliable operation during use. Simultaneously, the design of the housing 3 also fully considers heat dissipation and protection performance to prevent malfunctions or safety accidents caused by overheating or external damage.

[0043] In summary, this utility model employs a customized non-standard threaded retaining ring installation tool, effectively solving the problems of easy slippage of the pliers tips and inconsistent installation firmness. With the synergistic effect of the electric drive device, the installation process is automated, significantly improving installation efficiency. Simultaneously, the configuration of the torque sensor 6 ensures torque control during installation, guaranteeing that the product's firmness always meets standard requirements, avoiding safety risks caused by excessively tight or loose installation, and further enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the installation. Furthermore, the design of this installation tool and its electric drive device fully considers the convenience and flexibility of actual operation. For example, the hexagonal prism structure of the main body 1 facilitates quick connection to power tools, and the manual crank allows for smooth installation even without an electric drive device, greatly expanding the tool's application range and practicality.
