Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a clamp for mounting snap rings on shaft parts, belonging to the field of snap ring mounting technology. Background Technology
[0002] When the snap ring groove of a shaft part is in the axially embedded position, due to the elastic energy storage characteristics of the spring retainer, the operator needs to continuously apply axial thrust during the assembly process to overcome the spring preload and expose the snap ring groove to the assembly station.
[0003] This manual assembly method requires operators to maintain a constant force to keep the snap ring slot exposed, which obviously increases the workload of workers. It also requires additional personnel to install the snap ring. In batch production mode, the single-station operation cycle is forcibly broken down into two independent stations: spring holding and snap ring pressing, resulting in an increase in the manpower configuration of the production line. In addition, due to the lack of a force maintenance mechanism, the snap ring slot is prone to retraction due to spring reset during operation intervals, which may cause the snap ring to fail to be installed smoothly or to accidentally fall out, resulting in structural damage.
