Based on the moving distance of the moving plate 4 and parameters such as different screw threads, the number of rotations of the locking assembly 2 can be calculated to obtain an accurate locking result. This solves the problem that the locking structure in the prior art cannot guarantee accuracy during the locking operation.

[0031] See Figure 1 In the locking structure of this embodiment, the movable plate 4 includes a third plate surface 41 connected to the locking assembly 2 and a fourth plate surface 42 connected to the third plate surface 41. The third plate surface 41 and the fourth plate surface 42 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The distance sensor 19 senses the distance between the movable plate 4 and the distance sensor 19 by emitting a light beam 20 toward the fourth plate surface 42.

[0032] In the locking structure of this embodiment, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 The movable plate 4 has a mounting slot, and the locking assembly 2 includes: a motor mounting plate 23, which is inserted into the mounting slot and connected to the movable plate 4; a reducer 22, which is mounted on the motor mounting plate 23; a drive motor 21, whose output shaft is connected to the input end of the reducer 22; and a locking sleeve 28, which is connected to the output end of the reducer 22 so that the locking sleeve 28 can be driven to rotate by the drive motor 21.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 4In the locking structure of this embodiment, the locking assembly 2 includes: a sleeve 27, one end of which is connected to the output end of the reducer 22, and the other end of which is connected to the locking sleeve 28, the locking sleeve 28 having a vacuum channel 271; a vacuum component 26, which is sleeved on the sleeve 27, and has a vacuum chamber 37 communicating with the vacuum channel; and a gas pipe connector 29, which is disposed on the vacuum component 26 to extract gas from the vacuum chamber 37.

The connecting bracket 24 includes a first fixing plate 241 connected to the motor mounting plate 23 and a second fixing plate 242 connected to the vacuum component 26. The first fixing plate 241 and the second fixing plate 242 are arranged at intervals. A bearing component 36 is provided inside the vacuum component 26. The outer ring of the bearing component 36 is connected to the vacuum component 26, and the inner ring of the bearing component 36 is connected to the sleeve 27.

[0036] In the locking structure of this embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The locking assembly 2 includes a mounting bracket 30, which is connected to the motor mounting plate 23.

The locking assembly 2 includes a connecting sleeve 25, one end of which is connected to the output end of the reducer 22, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the sleeve 27. A sensor slice 32 is fitted on the connecting sleeve 25. The sensor slice 32 has a notch that cooperates with the sensor switch 31. When the connecting sleeve 25 rotates to a preset position, the notch triggers the sensor switch 31, thereby sending a signal through the sensor switch 31.

[0037] See Figure 7In the locking structure of this embodiment, the locking structure further includes: a fixing block 101, which is disposed on the mounting plate 12, and a movable plate 4 is disposed at a distance from the fixing block 101; a connecting shaft 13, one end of which is connected to the fixing block 101, and the other end of which is connected to the movable plate 4; and an elastic member 14, which is sleeved on the connecting shaft 13, one end of which is connected to the fixing block 101, and the other end of which is connected to the movable plate 4; wherein the connecting shaft 13 is movably connected to the movable plate 4 so that the distance between the fixing block 101 and the movable plate 4 can be adjusted by rotating the connecting shaft 13.

[0038] See Figure 7 In the locking structure of this embodiment, a slide rail 15 is provided on the mounting plate 12, and a slider 16 is provided on the moving plate 4. The slider 16 is movably connected to the slide rail 15; and / or, there are multiple locking components 2, which are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving plate 4.

[0039] In the locking structure of this embodiment, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 The locking structure also includes: a camera mounting plate 6, which is connected to the mounting plate 12; a camera is mounted on the camera mounting plate 6; a light source mounting bracket 7, which has a connecting groove so that the camera mounting plate 12 and the light source mounting bracket 7 can be connected by fasteners passing through the connecting groove and the camera mounting plate 12; an illumination component 8 is mounted on the light source mounting bracket 7, which has a ring structure and an avoidance hole for avoiding the camera.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] Two sets of locking components 2 are installed on the fixed component 1; the locking components 2 are fixed to the fixed component 1 by the movable plate 4.

[0042] In this patent, the locking assembly 2, lighting component 8, and camera 9 serve a visual guidance and positioning function, and are fixedly connected to the fixing assembly 1 by the camera mounting plate 5, camera fixing plate 6, and light source mounting bracket 7. The spatial position of the lighting component 8 and camera 9 can be moved within a small range, which is achieved by the reserved elongated hole.

[0043] The module connection plate 3, reinforcing rib plate 10, and module mounting plate 11 constitute the connection platform of this mechanism. The module connection plate 3 can be connected to external moving parts such as robots, cylinders, and transfer modules, thereby realizing the versatility of the entire mechanism platform. Furthermore, the number of locking components 2 can be appropriately increased or decreased according to different working conditions.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] All components are directly or indirectly mounted on the mounting plate 12, which is fixed to the module mounting plate 11 and positioned by pins to achieve high positioning accuracy.

[0046] Two slide rails 15 are fixed on the mounting plate 12, which has positioning grooves to improve the positioning accuracy of the slide rails 15. Two sliders 16 are mounted on the slide rails 15, and their other ends are fixed to the mounting grooves 17, so that the mounting grooves 17 can slide up and down along the slide rails 15.

[0047] The connecting plate 18 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 12, and the other end is fixed to the distance sensor 19. The function of the distance sensor 19 is to emit the beam 20 and continuously provide real-time feedback on the distance value between the distance sensor 19 and the mounting groove 17.

[0048] A long screw with a thread at one end of the connecting shaft 13. The other end of the connecting shaft 13 is connected to the mounting groove 17. By tightening one end to bring the mounting groove 17 closer to the mounting plate 12, the deformation of the elastic element 14 is compressed, thereby changing the elasticity of the elastic element 14.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] All components are directly or indirectly mounted on the mounting plate 12, which is fixed to the module mounting plate 11 and positioned by pins to achieve high positioning accuracy.

[0051] Example 4:

[0052] The drive motor 21 and reducer 22 are the power output sources of the entire mechanism. Currently, there is mature control technology to achieve three-stage locking torque to ensure the different process requirements of locking nut engagement, tightening, and loosening.

[0053] One end of the motor mounting plate 23 is connected to the mounting slot 17. The connecting bracket 24 is connected to the motor mounting plate 23, and the pin positioning improves the positioning accuracy.

[0054] The vacuum component 26 is fixed on the connecting bracket 24 and is coaxial with the reducer 22 and the connecting sleeve 25. The sleeve 27 passes through the vacuum component 26 and is connected at one end to the connecting sleeve 25. The connecting sleeve 25 is connected to the reducer 22 to realize the transmission function.

[0055] The sleeve 27 is a hollow shaft with through-hole slots. When it passes through the vacuum component 26, the through-holes are positioned precisely between the vacuum chambers 37, thus connecting the sleeve to the vacuum chambers 37. Two air pipe connectors 29 are fixed to the vacuum component 26, with their other ends connected to the vacuum component 26. Vacuum breaking is achieved through external components such as vacuum solenoid valves and vacuum generators.

[0056] The vacuum component 26 consists of two parts, upper and lower, each with two sealing components 35 forming a seal. Each part has a bearing component 36 for fixing the sleeve 27.

[0057] When the connecting bracket 24 is pushed upward manually, the return spring 34 is compressed, and the ball on it pops out and disengages from the groove on the connecting sleeve 25, so that the connecting sleeve 25 can be quickly disassembled.

[0058] The induction slice 32 is fixed to the connecting sleeve 25 and rotates with the connecting sleeve 25. The upper part of the connecting sleeve 25 is keyed to the shaft of the reducer 22 and locked with a set screw to ensure stable transmission. The induction slice 32 has a notch. After one rotation, the notch rotates to the induction switch 31 and emits a detection signal to detect the total number of rotations of the nut.

[0059] The entire mechanism is driven by the rotation of the reducer 22's shaft, which in turn rotates the connecting sleeve 25 and the induction slice 32. The sleeve 27 also rotates with the connecting sleeve 25, and the locking sleeve 28 rotates along with the sleeve 27. The locking sleeve 28 is connected to the sleeve 27 using a reverse thread method and secured with a set screw to prevent it from falling off during nut tightening. The locking sleeve 28 uses a standard hexagonal nut head.

[0060] The suction cup 33 connects to the inner channel of the sleeve 27, serving to conduct vacuum air. The other end of the suction cup 33 is used to hold the nut for vacuum material removal. Before tightening the nut to the designated position, ensure that the nut and sleeve 27 are relatively fixed.

[0061] Example 5:

[0062] In the locking structure of this embodiment, a movable platform is provided mounted on the module connection plate 3 to move the entire mechanism.

[0063] After the locking sleeve 28 reaches the designated nut picking position, the suction cup 33 picks up the nut. The movable carrier then moves back to the designated position and gradually presses down towards the attached nut. The elastic element 14 acts as a buffer at this time and operates under a pre-adjusted elastic force.

[0064] The drive motor 21 and reducer 22 start working, driving the sleeve 27 to rotate, and the suction cup 33 begins to loosen the nut.

[0065] The nut is locked in the designated position via segmented servo locking torque control on module connection board 3. During this process, distance sensor 19 continuously outputs return distance information to ensure the nut is properly locked. Inductive switch 31 counts the number of rotations and determines if it matches the predetermined tightening number. If the locking is not satisfactory, the equipment stops alarming.

[0066] This platform is adaptable to various nut sizes and torque ranges; only the size ratio of the motor and reducer needs to be changed, along with the corresponding locking sleeve, to achieve model changeover. For different working conditions, different mounting holes can be pre-drilled on the module connection plate 3.

[0067] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0068] The locking structure of this invention replaces manual locking, improving work efficiency.

[0069] The locking structure of this invention has high compatibility and is applicable to nuts of various specifications.

[0070] The locking structure of this invention can be mounted on a variety of transplanting platforms, adapting to a variety of different locking environments.

[0071] The locking structure of this invention uses multiple sensors for detection and feedback, which improves the reliability of traditional locking mechanisms.
