Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snap ring installation technology, specifically to an automatic C-type snap ring installation device. Background Technology

[0002] C-type circlips, as a standard component for axial fixing, are widely used in the mechanical manufacturing field due to their simple structure, convenient installation, and low cost. From core components such as automobile engines and transmissions to motors and gearboxes in home appliances, and precision transmission structures in medical devices, C-type circlips are ubiquitous. Their main function is to prevent axial movement of shafts or holes during operation, ensuring stable equipment operation.

[0003] In the assembly of C-type retaining rings, the existing installation method is mainly manual. Operators need to rely on experience to expand the retaining ring with tools and fit it into the designated slot. The efficiency of manual installation is extremely low, and the consistency of manual operation is poor. The degree of expansion and installation position of the retaining ring are entirely based on feel, which can easily lead to improper installation, misalignment, or even damage to the workpiece or the retaining ring itself, resulting in unstable product quality and increased rework costs. Utility Model Content

[0016] 1. This utility model provides an automatic C-type retaining ring installation device. The installation device includes a support mechanism, an installation mechanism, and a conveying mechanism. The overall structure is simple and reasonably designed. The sliding plate is driven by a telescopic electric cylinder 2 to move, conveying the contents of the storage cylinder to the bottom of the installation mechanism. Then, the telescopic electric cylinder 1 lowers and expands the assembly. The protrusions at the bottom of the two reinforcing columns are aligned with the round holes on the C-type retaining ring. The servo motor drives the small gear to rotate. The small gear meshes with the large gear 2, and the large gear 2 meshes with the large gear 1, driving the rotating assembly 2 and the rotating assembly 3 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, thereby expanding the C-type retaining ring.
