Background

The clutch is mounted between the engine and the transmission and is the assembly in the vehicle driveline that is directly associated with the engine. The clutch is usually mounted with the flywheel set of the engine crankshaft and is the part that cuts off and transmits power between the engine and the vehicle drive train. During the whole process of starting the automobile to normally drive, the driver can operate the clutch according to the requirement, so that the engine and the transmission system are temporarily separated or gradually connected, and the power output from the engine to the transmission system is cut off or transmitted. The function of the device is to ensure that the engine and the transmission can be gradually jointed, thereby ensuring the stable starting of the automobile; temporarily disconnecting the engine from the transmission to facilitate shifting and reduce shock during shifting; when the automobile is braked emergently, the brake can play a role in separation, and the transmission systems such as a speed changer and the like are prevented from being overloaded, so that a certain protection effect is achieved.

In the conventional clutch manufacturing process, it is necessary to judge whether the seal ring 710 on the clutch housing 700 is intact and mounted in place by naked eyes. As shown in fig. 1, the sizes of the seal rings 710 installed at different positions on the clutch housing 700 are different, and when the types of the clutch housings are different, the positions of the seal rings installed thereon are also different, and it is difficult to ensure the installation accuracy of the seal rings due to instability of efforts and physical strength detected by workers.
