Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tooling technology, and in particular relates to a double-ended stud installation tool adapted to automated equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Double-ended studs are widely used in mechanical assembly as connecting components. The end of the double-ended stud used to screw into the threaded hole of the workpiece is usually called the screw-in end, while the other end of the double-ended stud needs to be connected to a tightening tool during installation and is therefore usually called the fastening end.

[0003] Currently, the tools used in the installation of double-ended studs mainly consist of a threaded sleeve and a setter. The setter is located inside the threaded sleeve. First, the fastening end of the double-ended stud needs to be screwed into the threaded sleeve so that the fastening end of the double-ended stud contacts the setter inside the threaded sleeve, thereby generating a biting force. Under the biting force, the fastening end of the double-ended stud is fastened to the threaded sleeve. Then, the screw-in end of the double-ended stud is aligned with the threaded hole of the workpiece, and by tightening the threaded sleeve, the screw-in end of the double-ended stud can be screwed into the threaded hole of the workpiece to complete the installation of the double-ended stud.

[0004] However, when installing studs using traditional tools, the insert and its internal setter rotate synchronously. When removing the insert from the fastening end of the stud, it's necessary to reverse the rotation. However, the engagement force between the fastening end and the setter doesn't disappear. Under this force, the static friction between the insert and the stud may still be greater than the static friction between the stud and the workpiece's threaded hole. This can cause the stud to unscrew itself from the workpiece's threaded hole when the insert is reversed, resulting in installation failure. In severe cases, the fastening end of the stud may become completely stuck inside the insert, severely hindering subsequent installations.

[0005] Furthermore, traditional tools can only be used for manual installation of double-ended studs, and cannot be adapted to a wide range of automated equipment such as machine tools and robotic arms, which severely limits the efficiency of double-ended stud installation using traditional tools.

[0006] To address this, Chinese patent application number 202210414423.2 discloses a tool kit for installing and removing double-ended studs. Although this patent solves many problems of traditional tools in installing double-ended studs to some extent, it is still a manual tool and cannot be adapted to a wide range of automated equipment such as machine tools and robotic arms. Therefore, it also suffers from the problem of low efficiency in installing double-ended studs. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The following describes a single use of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0035] In this embodiment, the automated equipment is a CNC machining center. First, the root insertion structure of the straight-barrel square wrench 1 is coaxially fixed to the spindle of the CNC machining center; then, the straight-tube adapter sleeve 2 is fitted onto the outside of the straight-barrel square wrench 1, so that the top flange structure of the straight-tube adapter sleeve 2 is coaxially connected to the outer casing of the spindle of the CNC machining center, and the connection is tightened with bolts.

[0036] After the straight-bar square wrench 1 and the straight-tube adapter sleeve 2 are installed, the quick-lock module is then installed onto the spindle of the CNC machining center. First, the pre-assembled quick-lock module is inserted upwards onto the square head of the straight-bar square wrench 1. Then, the quick-lock module is moved upwards until the screw hole on the positioning sleeve 8 is aligned with the screw hole on the straight-bar square wrench 1. Then, screws are screwed into the aligned screw holes until the positioning sleeve 8 is completely fixed onto the straight-bar square wrench 1.

[0037] After the quick-lock module is installed, continue with the installation of the monitoring module. First, insert the inner wall of the floating sleeve 4 upwards into the straight-tube adapter sleeve 2 until the threaded hole on the inner wall of the floating sleeve 4 aligns with the guide groove 6 on the straight-tube adapter sleeve 2. Then, pass the limiting pin 7 through the guide groove 6 and screw it into the threaded hole on the inner wall of the floating sleeve 4 until the limiting pin 7 is confined within the guide groove 6. Next, screw the annular structure of the top support 5 upwards onto the floating sleeve 4 until the installation and fixation of the top support 5 is complete. Finally, install the laser displacement sensor 3 at the designated position on the outer surface of the straight-tube adapter sleeve 2.

[0038] After the monitoring module is installed, the engagement module is installed last. First, move the pre-assembled engagement module directly below the square head of the straight-bar square wrench 1. Then, continue to lift the engagement module upwards so that the square head of the straight-bar square wrench 1 is accurately inserted into the square slot 21 at the top of the engagement module's inner housing 15. Next, horizontally rotate the locking bracket 10 on the quick-lock module, making it rotate 90° from its initial position. At this time, the limiting protrusion 12 on the locking bracket 10 will slide from one end of the notch groove 11 to the other end, and simultaneously, the limiting block 13 on the locking bracket 10 will move directly below the locking edge 22 of the engagement module. At this point, the axial degree of freedom of the engagement module is locked, and the engagement module installation is complete.

[0039] After the engagement module is installed, select a double-ended stud to be installed. First, screw the fastening end of the double-ended stud into the small-diameter end of the outer shell 14 of the engagement module until the fastening end of the double-ended stud is pressed against the pusher body 18. At this time, a temporary fixed connection is achieved between the double-ended stud and the engagement module. Then, the position of the spindle is adjusted by the CNC machining center until the screw-in end of the double-ended stud is aligned with the threaded hole on the workpiece. After that, the axial position of the double-ended stud is finely adjusted so that the screw-in end of the double-ended stud is aligned with the threaded hole on the workpiece. At this time, the bottom end of the top support 5 of the monitoring module has made contact with the workpiece surface around the threaded hole, and the laser displacement sensor 3 in the monitoring module is activated.

[0040] After the above preparations are completed, the spindle of the CNC machining center is started. The spindle's rotary feed motion is transmitted sequentially to the double-ended stud through the straight-bar wrench 1, the quick-lock module, and the engagement module, causing the tightening end of the double-ended stud to continuously screw into the threaded hole of the workpiece. During the process of the tightening end of the double-ended stud screwing into the threaded hole of the workpiece, the straight-tube adapter sleeve 2 and its laser displacement sensor 3 will generate relative displacement with respect to the workpiece surface, while the top support 5 of the monitoring module and the floating sleeve 4 are stationary with respect to the workpiece surface. That is to say, the relative displacement between the laser displacement sensor 3 and the floating sleeve 4 is exactly equal to the screwing distance of the tightening end of the double-ended stud. Therefore, the screwing distance of the tightening end of the double-ended stud can be known in real time through the displacement data monitored by the laser displacement sensor 3.

[0041] When the screw-in distance of the double-ended stud reaches the set value, the spindle of the CNC machining center first stops the rotational feed motion, and then performs the reverse rotational feed motion. Due to the presence of the thrust bearing 17, the static friction between the fastening end of the double-ended stud and the pusher body 18 can be eliminated immediately. At the same time, the dynamic friction resistance between the fastening end of the double-ended stud and the small-diameter end of the engagement module housing 14 is much lower than the static friction between the double-ended stud and the threaded hole of the workpiece. With the reverse rotational feed, the small-diameter end of the engagement module housing 14 can be quickly removed from the fastening end of the double-ended stud.

[0042] Similarly, by following the above working method, batch and efficient installation of double-ended studs can be achieved. When the model of the double-ended stud changes, if the automated equipment is not adjusted, only the appropriate engagement module needs to be replaced. The replacement is also very convenient. First, the locking bracket 10 on the quick-lock module is rotated horizontally in the reverse direction, causing it to rotate 90° back to its initial position. The limiting protrusion 12 on the locking bracket 10 slides from one end of the notch groove 11 to the other end. At the same time, the limiting block 13 on the locking bracket 10 is completely misaligned with the locking edge 22 of the engagement module, and the engagement module regains its axial freedom. Then, the engagement module is moved downwards, so that the square head of the straight-bar square wrench 1 is completely pulled out of the square slot 21 at the top of the inner shell 15 of the engagement module, thereby separating the engagement module from the straight-bar square wrench 1. At this point, the original engagement module can be removed, and the installation process of the new engagement module is exactly the same as that of the original engagement module.

[0043] The solutions described in the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of patent protection of this invention. All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from the scope of this invention are included in the patent scope of this case.
