Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bolt assembly, and in particular to a lightweight and small-sized automatic bolt assembly device. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, whether it is military or civilian products, the precision requirements are getting higher and higher, and the volume and weight requirements are getting smaller and smaller. Due to the smaller internal volume, the axial and radial space of the fasteners are limited. The traditional industrial assembly robots and their end devices are becoming more and more difficult to work in the assembly process. Tightening and disassembling bolts in a small space and requiring precise torque values have become the most common tasks in daily production. At the same time, since it is impossible to operate in a small space, it is even more difficult to achieve precise torque requirements at the same time, so it has become a common technical problem in actual production.
[0003] At present, there is no automated device specifically designed to solve the problem of tightening bolts in a narrow space. It can tighten and disassemble bolts that require a certain torque in a limited space and accurately reach the specified torque. Conventional tool wrenches have the following problems when installing and tightening bolts in a narrow space:
[0004] (I) Difficulty in meeting product requirements: Conventional tool wrenches are difficult to operate and easily cause interference when installing and tightening bolts in a narrow space; secondly, they cannot meet the tightening torque requirements of the bolts, which ultimately leads to the product failing to meet the use requirements;
[0005] (ii) Difficulty in operation and high labor intensity for operators: Because the operating space is too narrow, the operator's arms and operating tools cannot be used, and the installation and tightening of bolts are difficult;
[0006] (III) Low assembly efficiency: Due to the difficulty of operation, the assembly time of the same product increases a lot, which directly leads to the problem of low assembly efficiency.
[0007] Patent document CN 112109071 A provides a highly dexterous assembly mechanism in a narrow space, including a drive mechanism integrated module, an actuator and multiple transmission wires, wherein the actuator has six degrees of freedom, and each joint is connected to the drive mechanism integrated module through a transmission wire. The drive mechanism integrated module drives the actuator through multiple transmission wires to achieve six-degree-of-freedom movement, which can preliminarily realize the bolt assembly function in a narrow space.
[0008] However, this technical solution still has shortcomings. Since the movement of the actuator is controlled by a transmission wire, its working stability is poor, and manual assistance is required for bolt installation. The control process is complicated, and it is impossible to truly realize the automation and efficiency of bolt installation, tightening and removal in a narrow space. Especially in the maintenance and inspection process of large equipment such as space shuttles, aircraft engines, and automobile engines, the time-consuming and labor-intensive manual replacement of fastening parts due to the narrow and complex internal space environment, there is an urgent need to design a lightweight and small automated bolt assembly device to replace manual bolt installation, tightening and removal and other related work. Summary of the invention
[0009] In view of the problems and shortcomings existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a lightweight and small automated bolt assembly device, which can realize automatic positioning, installation and tightening of bolts in a narrow space after being matched with a flexible robotic arm, thereby solving the problems of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual replacement. The purpose is to solve the problems that the existing device is too large in size and weight, and requires manual assistance for installation or is complex to control, and cannot truly realize the automation and efficiency of bolt installation and tightening in a small space.
[0010] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

Specifically, the first connecting pin can be a round shaft pin shaft with an interference fit with the first pin hole and the second pin hole, or a threaded pin shaft can be used, and matched with the first pin hole and the second pin hole through a thread pair.
[0020] The shaft diameters of the first connecting portion, the second connecting portion and the third connecting portion are arranged in decreasing steps, and the outer diameter of the first connecting portion is smaller than the outer diameter of the guide sleeve.

The purpose of the first connection hole being a threaded hole is to reduce the pressure of the first connection pin shaft transmitting torque by means of the friction torque generated by the threaded connection, so as to facilitate lightweight structural design to reduce the volume and weight of the automation device; the purpose of the guide hole being a hexagonal hole rather than a circular hole is to transmit the torque of the 360-degree continuous rotation servo to the guide sleeve through the first connection member, and then to the magnetic sleeve by the guide sleeve, so as to control the assembly or disassembly of the bolt.
[0022] In order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the first connecting member, the tension spring and the second connecting member, the guide sleeve is a split structure, including symmetrically connected guide components. Specifically and preferably, the two guide components are fixedly connected by screws and nuts.
[0023] A spiral groove is provided on the end of the third connecting part and the second connecting member that is connected to the tension spring, and the two ends of the tension spring are connected to the third connecting part and the second connecting member by screwing into the spiral groove respectively.

[0024] According to a specific embodiment, the control system comprises:
[0025] The single-chip microcomputer is used to collect signals, run corresponding algorithms and generate control signals to control the 360-degree continuous rotation servo;
[0026] The optical coupling voltage control module has an input end connected to the single-chip microcomputer and an output end connected to the servo drive module. The servo drive module is connected to the 360-degree continuous rotation servo to control the output voltage and current.
[0027] The voltage detection module has an input end connected to the 360-degree continuous rotation servo and an output end connected to the single-chip microcomputer, and is used to measure and feedback the voltage across the 360-degree continuous rotation servo;
[0028] The current detection board, whose input end is connected to the 360-degree continuous rotation servo and whose output end is connected to the single-chip microcomputer, is used to collect current signals in real time and convert them into voltage signals, and then convert them into digital quantities and feed them back to the single-chip microcomputer to control the motion parameters of the 360-degree continuous rotation servo;
[0029] The button module is connected to the microcontroller and is used to select the working mode.
[0030] In one embodiment, the working modes of the button are generally divided into two types, one is for assembling the bolts, and the other is for removing the bolts, which is specifically achieved by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the 360-degree continuous rotating servo by a single chip microcomputer.
[0031] According to a specific embodiment, the single chip microcomputer adopts an STM32 single chip microcomputer, and the current detection board adopts a MAX472 current detection board.
[0032] Directions:
[0033] When it is necessary to install the bolts, first connect the fixed end of the housing of the present invention to the robot arm. Then align one end of the magnetic sleeve with the bolt head to be assembled, put one end of the bolt head into the magnetic sleeve, and align the other end with the screw hole to be connected. After that, the operation button module is set to the assembly mode, rotate and transfer the torque to the bolt through the first connecting member, the guide sleeve, the second connecting member and the magnetic sleeve in sequence, drive the bolt to rotate clockwise and be gradually tightened. During the tightening process, as the bolt moves toward the connecting hole, the magnetic sleeve generates a pulling force to move forward and drives the second connecting member to move. Since the second connecting member is connected to the first connecting member through a tension spring and slides with the guide sleeve, the second connecting member moves forward along the guide hole during this process, and the tension spring is stretched, that is, only the magnetic sleeve will move axially on the outside, and other parts will not move, thereby meeting the use requirements of bolt assembly in a narrow space. After the assembly is completed, the second connecting member moves along the guide hole and returns to the initial position under the action of the elastic force of the tension spring.
[0034] In addition, during the assembly process, the control voltage is output to the 360-degree continuous rotation servo through the optocoupler voltage control module, and the voltage and current are detected by the voltage detection module and the current detection board and fed back to the microcontroller to adjust the output voltage and current, thereby indirectly controlling the output torque to ensure the size of the assembly torque.
[0035] When the bolts need to be removed, you only need to operate the button module to set it to the removal mode. The working principle is the same as the installation process and will not be repeated here.
[0036] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0037] 1) The mechanical structure of the present invention uses aluminum alloy as the main material, and the lightweight structural design reduces its volume and weight. It can be installed at the end of a continuum flexible mechanical arm to perform bolt replacement operations in a narrow space.
[0038] 2) The present invention can realize automatic advancement and automatic resetting of the bolt assembly process through the cooperation of magnetic force and the elastic force of the tension spring, thereby reducing the difficulty of motion control of the flexible mechanical arm carrying the automation device in a narrow space.
[0039] 3) The present invention indirectly controls the bolt tightening torque through electric current, which reduces the volume and weight of the device and enhances its dexterity compared with the existing torque sensor feedback control; and by switching different assembly or disassembly working modes through key interruptions, it can realize the automated installation, disassembly and tightening operations of carbon steel bolts of various specifications and small sizes, thereby enhancing its engineering practicability.

[0068] See Fig. 9 According to a specific embodiment, the control system includes:
[0069] The single-chip microcomputer is used to collect signals, run corresponding algorithms and generate control signals to control the 360-degree continuous rotation servo;
[0070] The optical coupling voltage control module has an input end connected to the single-chip microcomputer and an output end connected to the servo drive module. The servo drive module is connected to the 360-degree continuous rotation servo to control the output voltage and current.
[0071] The voltage detection module has an input end connected to the 360-degree continuous rotation servo and an output end connected to the single-chip microcomputer, and is used to measure and feedback the voltage across the 360-degree continuous rotation servo;
[0072] The current detection board, whose input end is connected to the 360-degree continuous rotation servo and whose output end is connected to the single-chip microcomputer, is used to collect current signals in real time and convert them into voltage signals, which are then converted into digital quantities by the ADC interface and fed back to the single-chip microcomputer to control the motion parameters of the 360-degree continuous rotation servo;
[0073] The button module is connected to the microcontroller and is used to select the working mode.
[0074] In one embodiment, the working modes of the button are generally divided into two types, one is for assembling the bolts, and the other is for removing the bolts, which is specifically achieved by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the 360-degree continuous rotating servo by a single chip microcomputer.
[0075] The single chip microcomputer adopts an STM32 single chip microcomputer, and the current detection board adopts a MAX472 current detection board.
[0076] See Fig.10In the specific implementation, the conventional configurations such as the minimum system circuit of the STM32 microcontroller are no longer described. Only the external pin configuration and hardware circuit design are performed. Since the STM32 needs to control external devices, some interfaces need to be set, including the DAC interface that receives the control signal and outputs a variable voltage, the ordinary GPIO interface that outputs high and low levels, the Timer interface that outputs PWM waves, the ADC interface that receives and converts the sensor feedback signal, the EXTI interface that triggers the interrupt to change the closed-loop current control amount and the forward and reverse rotation of the servo, and the USART interface of the real-time current (voltage) in the serial port transmission circuit.
[0077] After configuring the MCU pins, start designing the hardware circuit diagram in conjunction with other modules. Only design circuits related to peripherals, namely the circuits between the STM32 MCU, MAX472 current detection board, voltage detection module, optocoupler voltage control module, independent button module and 360-degree continuous rotation servo. All the above components are grounded. The STM32 MCU is connected to the optocoupler voltage control module through the PA4 and PA6 pins. The positive and negative poles of the independent power supply are respectively connected to the DC+ and DC- pins of the optocoupler voltage control module. When the independent power supply voltage changes, the OUT output voltage can be controlled to change or the voltage detection module can be used to feedback the voltage from the S pin to the PC2 pin of the STM32 MCU to form a voltage outer loop to keep the voltage stable. The OUT output voltage is applied to both ends of the MAX472 current detection board and the 360-degree continuous rotation servo. The 72 current detection board converts the flowing current into voltage and feeds it back to the PC0 pin of the microcontroller through the OUT terminal to form a current inner loop. The 360-degree continuous rotation servo signal line is connected to the PA0 pin of the STM32 microcontroller to provide a PWM signal. The K1-K4 button pins of the independent button module are respectively connected to the PB1, PB10, PB3 and PB5 pins of the STM32 microcontroller to perform 360-degree continuous rotation servo forward and reverse rotation and closed-loop control of the change of the current (electromagnetic torque) value, thereby adapting to the tightening and removal of bolts of different sizes.
[0078] The theoretical basis of the device control is the torque control method. The main purpose is to control the torque output by the 360-degree continuous rotation servo. The output torque is indirectly controlled by controlling the current to ensure the working effect of the device.
[0079] Directions:
[0080] When it is necessary to install the bolts, first connect the fixed end of the housing 2 of the present invention to the robot arm. Then align one end of the magnetic sleeve 300 with the bolt head to be assembled, put one end of the bolt head into the magnetic sleeve 300, and align the other end with the screw hole to be connected. After that, the operation button module is set to the assembly mode, rotate and transfer the torque to the bolt through the first connecting member 3, the guide sleeve 4, the second connecting member 6 and the magnetic sleeve 300 in sequence, drive the bolt to rotate clockwise and be gradually tightened. During the tightening process, as the bolt moves toward the connection hole, the magnetic sleeve 300 generates a pulling force to move forward, and drives the second connecting member 6 to move. Since the second connecting member 6 is connected to the first connecting member 3 through the tension spring 5 and slides with the guide sleeve 4, during this process, the second connecting member 6 moves forward along the guide hole 412, and the tension spring 5 is stretched, that is, only the magnetic sleeve 300 will move axially on the outside, and other components will not move, thereby meeting the use requirements of bolt assembly in a narrow space. After the assembly is completed, the second connecting member 6 moves along the guide hole 412 under the elastic force of the tension spring 5 and returns to the initial position.
[0081] In addition, during the assembly process, the control voltage is output to the 360-degree continuous rotation servo 1 through the optical coupling voltage control module, and the voltage and current are detected by the voltage detection module and the current detection board and fed back to the single-chip microcomputer to adjust the output voltage and current, thereby indirectly controlling the output torque to ensure the size of the assembly torque.
[0082] When the bolts need to be removed, you only need to operate the button module to set it to the removal mode. The working principle is the same as the installation process and will not be repeated here.
[0083] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and examples. Various changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the scope of knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
