A mounting plate 5 is connected to the bottom of the top of the robot 1 and the robot 1 drives the mounting plate 5 to rotate. A mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 5. After the mounting plate 5 rotates, it can drive the mounting plate 6 to rotate. The mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the motor plate electric clamp 3 and the top of the torque gun tooling 4. The rotation of the mounting plate 6 drives the motor plate electric clamp 3 and the torque gun tooling 4 to rotate. A clamp 31 is arranged at the lower part of the motor plate electric clamp 3. The clamp 31 is used to clamp the motor plate, and the clamp 31 is opened and closed under the control of the robot 1.

[0012] Specifically, the torque gun tooling 4 includes a torque gun 41 and a torque gun mounting plate 42. The torque gun 41 is sandwiched by the torque gun mounting plate 42. The torque gun mounting plate 42 adopts a two-half locking structure to play a clamping role. The upper side of the torque gun mounting plate 42 is fixed to the mounting plate 6. After one end of the torque gun 41 absorbs the screw, it is controlled by the robot 1 to rotate.

[0013] Specifically, grooves 32 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the clamp 31, and the grooves 32 are adapted to the edges of the waist grooves on both sides of the motor plate. The robot 1 first controls the clamp 31 to merge a little, then controls the clamp 31 to go deep into the waist groove of the motor plate, and then controls the clamp 31 to separate, and the grooves 32 on the clamp 31 fix the motor plate.
