Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of assembly equipment, and specifically relates to a snap ring assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, when installing a retaining circlip into the retaining circlip groove of a workpiece (mainly a cylinder), it is usually necessary to use retaining circlip pliers to compress the retaining circlip before inserting it into the groove. This operation is very time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a high-efficiency and labor-saving snap ring assembly machine.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model includes: a workbench and an assembly mechanism disposed on the workbench. The assembly mechanism includes a frame, a snap ring sleeve, a snap ring release sleeve, a first sliding seat and a second sliding seat, a cylinder and a workpiece clamp. The frame is disposed on the workbench. The first sliding seat is slidably mounted on the upper end of the frame, and the second sliding seat is slidably mounted on the lower end of the frame. The snap ring sleeve is mounted on the first sliding seat, and the snap ring release sleeve is mounted on the second sliding seat and concentrically arranged with the snap ring sleeve. The workpiece clamp is disposed below the snap ring release sleeve. A linkage mechanism is provided between the first sliding seat and the second sliding seat. The cylinder is mounted on the frame for synchronously driving the first sliding seat and the second sliding seat to slide up and down. The retaining ring sleeve has a slot at its lower end, and retaining ribs are provided on both sides of the slot at the lower end. The retaining ring release sleeve has a tapered hole that can bring the lower end of the retaining ring sleeve towards the center.

[0005] The linkage mechanism includes a screw and a spring. The upper end of the screw is fixedly connected to the first sliding seat, and the lower end is movably disposed in the second sliding seat. The spring is sleeved on the screw, and its two ends abut against the first sliding seat and the second sliding seat, respectively.

[0006] The frame is mounted on the lifting mechanism.

[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a lead screw seat, a lead screw connected to the lead screw seat, and a crank connected to the lead screw, and the frame is mounted on the lead screw seat.

[0008] The retaining spring sleeve includes a left retaining spring sleeve and a right retaining spring sleeve that are arranged opposite to each other. The upper ends of the left retaining spring sleeve and the right retaining spring sleeve are fixed to the first sliding seat by metal plates, and the slot is formed between the left retaining spring sleeve and the right retaining spring sleeve.

[0009] The workpiece fixture is provided with a workpiece positioning groove.

[0010] The advantages of this new type of snap ring assembly machine are as follows: During assembly, simply install the snap ring onto the snap ring sleeve rod, and then start the cylinder to automatically complete the assembly, which greatly improves efficiency and saves a lot of effort.

[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0013] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, the snap ring assembly machine of this utility model includes a worktable 1 and an assembly mechanism 2 mounted on the worktable 1. The assembly mechanism 2 includes a frame 3, a snap ring sleeve 4, a snap ring release sleeve 5, a first sliding seat 6 and a second sliding seat 7, a cylinder 8, and a workpiece clamp 9. The frame 3 is mounted on the worktable 1. The first sliding seat 6 is slidably mounted on the upper end of the frame 3, and the second sliding seat 7 is slidably mounted on the lower end of the frame 3. The snap ring sleeve 4 is mounted on the first sliding seat 6. The snap ring release sleeve 5 is mounted on the second sliding seat 7, and the snap ring release sleeve 5 and the snap ring sleeve 4 are concentrically arranged. The workpiece clamp 9 is located below the snap ring release sleeve 5 and is used to fix the workpiece. A linkage mechanism 10 is provided between the first sliding seat 6 and the second sliding seat 7. The cylinder 8 is mounted on the frame 3 and is used to synchronously drive the first sliding seat 6 and the second sliding seat 7 to slide up and down. The retaining spring sleeve 4 has a slot 11 at its lower end, and the lower end of the retaining spring sleeve 4 has retaining ribs 12 on both sides corresponding to the slot 11. The retaining spring release sleeve 5 has a tapered hole 13 that can bring the lower end of the retaining spring sleeve 4 toward the center. The tapered hole 13 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0014] Preferably, the linkage mechanism 10 includes a screw 15 and a spring 16. The upper end of the screw 15 is fixedly connected to the first sliding seat 6, and the lower end of the screw 15 is movably disposed within the second sliding seat 7. The spring 16 is sleeved on the screw 15, and both ends of the spring 16 abut against the first sliding seat 6 and the second sliding seat 7, respectively. When the extension shaft of the cylinder 8 drives the first sliding seat 6 to move downward, the spring 16 applies pressure to the second sliding seat 7, which can simultaneously drive the second sliding seat 7 and the snap ring release sleeve 5 to move downward, so as to realize that the snap ring release sleeve 5 is engaged with the snap ring groove 24 at the upper end of the workpiece 23, while not affecting the continued downward movement of the first sliding seat 6 and the snap ring sleeve 4.

[0015] Preferably, the frame 3 is mounted on the lifting mechanism 17. The lifting mechanism 17 includes a lead screw seat 18, a lead screw 19 connected to the lead screw seat 18, and a crank handle 20 connected to the lead screw 19. The frame 3 is mounted on the lead screw seat 18. The starting position of the assembly mechanism 2 is adjusted by rotating the crank handle 20 to accommodate the assembly of workpieces of different specifications.

[0016] Preferably, the retaining spring sleeve 4 includes a left retaining spring sleeve 401 and a right retaining spring sleeve 402 disposed opposite to each other. The upper ends of the left retaining spring sleeve 401 and the right retaining spring sleeve 402 are fixed to the first sliding seat 6 by metal plates 21, and the slot 11 is formed between the left retaining spring sleeve 401 and the right retaining spring sleeve 402. This structure provides the retaining spring sleeve 4 with better tension, thus facilitating retraction and repositioning.

[0017] Preferably, the workpiece fixture 9 is provided with a workpiece positioning groove 22, and the workpiece 23 is placed in the workpiece positioning groove 22 for positioning, and can move left and right at the same time to realize the assembly of the two top retaining ring grooves 24.

[0018] Working principle: First, place the workpiece 23 (in this example, a cylinder) on the workpiece fixture 9. Then, insert the C-shaped snap ring into the snap ring sleeve 4's snap rib 12. Next, start the cylinder 8 to drive the snap ring sleeve 4 and the snap ring release sleeve 5 to move down synchronously. When the snap ring release sleeve 5 abuts against the workpiece 23, the snap ring sleeve 4 continues to move down and inserts into the tapered hole 13. Under the limitation of the tapered hole 1 (wider at the top and narrower at the bottom), the lower end of the snap ring sleeve 4 and the C-shaped snap ring are brought together towards the center. Then, the snap ring sleeve 4 pushes the C-shaped snap ring into the snap ring groove 24 of the workpiece 23. Finally, the machine resets.

[0019] As stated above, this is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed structure and technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
