[0002] like Figure 1 The laptop hinge shown includes a fixed bracket 100 and a spindle 101 rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 100. The fixed bracket 100 is fastened to the screen end or system end of the laptop computer. The spindle 101 is equipped with an elastic member 102, and the elastic member 102 is fixed to the spindle 101 by a nut 103. When the laptop hinge is in use, the elastic force between the elastic member 102 and the fixed bracket provides the locking force of the hinge.

[0003] Among them, during the assembly process of the laptop computer hinge, the locking depth and position of the nut 103 on the spindle 101 directly affect the hinge locking force. However, due to the instability of the manual locking operation method, it is difficult to ensure the stability and consistency of the laptop computer hinge assembly by manually locking the nut.

[0004] In addition, for the assembly of a laptop computer, after tightening the nut, a rocking process is required, that is, the fixed bracket and the spindle are rotated relative to each other.

[0005] It should be pointed out that the patent number is: ZL201721101584.7, and the patent name is: A Chinese invention patent for an automatic nut locking device, which discloses a locking nut assembly. Specifically: the locking nut assembly includes a vibrating disc feeder, an electric screwdriver assembly that grabs the nuts sent out by the vibrating disc feeder and performs locking operations.

It should be explained that, for the vibration plate feeder 3 of the first embodiment, when working, the vibration plate feeder 3 feeds the nuts 103 into the adsorption position of the electric screwdriver assembly 2 in sequence and in an orderly manner.

[0036] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the frame 1 is equipped with a fixed frame 41 beside the vibrating plate feeder 3. The upper end of the fixed frame 41 is equipped with a horizontal driving member 42 for horizontal lateral movement. The driving end of the horizontal driving member 42 is equipped with a horizontal movable frame 43, and the electric batch assembly 2 is mounted on the horizontal movable frame 43. It should be explained that the horizontal driving member 42 can be a rodless cylinder; of course, the above-mentioned rodless cylinder structure does not constitute a limitation to the present embodiment 1, that is, the horizontal driving member 42 of the present embodiment 1 can also adopt other structural forms, such as a linear module.

[0037] Further, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the horizontal movable frame 43 is equipped with a lower piece grabbing assembly 5 beside the electric screwdriver assembly 2. The fixed frame 41, the horizontal driving member 42, the horizontal movable frame 43, the electric screwdriver assembly 2 and the lower piece grabbing assembly 5 together constitute a screwing lower piece assembly.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the frame 1 is also equipped with a swing assembly 6, a pneumatic clamp 7 of a fixed bracket 100 located next to the swing assembly 6 and used to clamp the laptop computer shaft. The swing assembly 6 includes a swing drive motor 61 installed on the frame 1, and a shaft fixture 62 driven by the swing drive motor 61. The shaft fixture 62 is provided with a spindle positioning groove 621 for inserting the spindle 101 of the laptop computer shaft.

[0039] The following describes the notebook computer shaft locking and swinging device of the first embodiment in conjunction with a specific working process. Specifically, the operation steps of the notebook computer shaft locking and swinging device include:

[0040] Step a: The staff positions the laptop computer's hinge on the hinge fixture 62, wherein the laptop computer's hinge spindle 101 is inserted into and positioned in the hinge positioning slot 621 of the hinge fixture 62. When the swing drive motor 61 drives the hinge fixture 62 to rotate, the laptop computer's hinge spindle 101 rotates synchronously with the hinge fixture 62.

[0041] Step b: After the laptop computer hinge is positioned and placed on the hinge fixture 62, the pneumatic clamp 7 of the bracket is actuated and clamps the fixing bracket 100 that fixes the laptop computer hinge;

[0042] Step c, after the pneumatic clamping jaws 7 of the bracket complete the clamping and fixing action, the horizontal driving member 42 is actuated and causes the electric screwdriver assembly 2 to move horizontally to above the vibrating plate feeder 3, and the electric screwdriver assembly 2 absorbs the nut 103 from the vibrating plate feeder 3; after the electric screwdriver assembly 2 absorbs the nut 103, the horizontal driving member 42 drives the electric screwdriver assembly 2 and the absorbed nut 103 to move above the swing assembly 6, and then the electric screwdriver assembly 2 is actuated and tightens the nut 103 onto the spindle 101;

[0043] Step d: After the electric screwdriver assembly 2 completes the tightening operation of the nut 103, the electric screwdriver assembly 2 withdraws from the tightened nut 103, and then the swing drive motor 61 is activated, and the swing drive motor 61 drives the shaft fixture 62 to rotate, and the shaft fixture 62 drives the spindle 101 of the laptop computer shaft to rotate. During this process, the bracket pneumatic clamp 7 keeps clamping the fixed bracket 100 of the laptop computer shaft, so that the spindle 101 rotates relative to the fixed bracket 100, and then the swing process after the nut 103 is assembled is performed;

[0044] Step e: After the swinging process is completed, the swinging drive motor 61 stops, the bracket pneumatic clamp 7 loosens the fixed bracket 100, and then the horizontal driving member 42 is actuated and drives the lower part grabbing assembly 5 to move horizontally above the swinging assembly 6, and the lower part grabbing assembly 5 is actuated and grabs and removes the laptop computer shaft after the nut 103 is tightened and the swinging process is completed from the shaft jig 62 to complete the grabbing of the lower part.

[0047] During the process of the electric screwdriver assembly 2 adsorbing the nut 103, the electric screwdriver lifting drive cylinder 21 first moves and causes the automatic electric screwdriver 23 to descend to the nut 103 adsorption position. After the automatic electric screwdriver 23 adsorbs the nut 103, the electric screwdriver lifting drive cylinder 21 drives the automatic electric screwdriver 23 to move back to the original position.

[0048] When the electric screwdriver assembly 2 tightens the nut 103 onto the spindle 101 of the laptop computer shaft, the electric screwdriver lifting drive cylinder 21 first moves and causes the automatic electric screwdriver 23 and the adsorbed nut 103 to descend to the locking position, and then the automatic electric screwdriver 23 moves and tightens the nut 103 to lock it onto the spindle 101 of the laptop computer shaft.
