In this way, the structure is compact, the clamping space is reserved for smaller external hexagonal bolts, and the clamping of different sizes of external hexagonal bolt heads is suitable. The other components and connection relationships are the same as those in embodiments one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine.
[0039] Embodiment eleven Figures 1 to 7 The working principle of the present application is as follows:
[0040] The present application includes a rack 1, a central screwing rotating wheel 2, a C-type clamping slider 3, an I-type clamping slider 4, a slide rail 5, a motor 6, a motor output shaft 61, a shell 7, and a power interface 8. The rack 1 is vertically arranged, the axis of the slide rail 5 coincides with the axis of symmetry of the rack 1 in the horizontal plane, and they are fixed together. The C-type clamping slider 3 and the I-type clamping slider 4 are slidably assembled together with the slide rail 5, and the I-type clamping slider 4 can slide relative to the C-type clamping slider 3. The shell 7 is fixed to the rack 1, and its axis coincides with the axis of the rack 1. The motor 6 is fixed in the shell 7, and the central screwing rotating wheel 2 is fixed together with the motor output shaft 61.
[0041] When the size of the operation space needs to be adjusted, the motor provides power to drive the central screwing rotating wheel 2 to rotate. During the rotation of the central screwing rotating wheel 2, the driving thread 21 is engaged with the C-type driven thread 31 and the I-type driven thread 41. The central screwing rotating wheel 2 drives the circumferentially distributed C-type clamping sliders 3 and the I-type clamping sliders 4 to move radially, so that the circumferentially distributed C-type clamping sliders 3 and the I-type clamping sliders 4 are close or far away, achieving the purpose of adjusting the size of the operation space.
[0042] When the tool is ready to work, the C-type clamping sliders 3 and the I-type clamping sliders 4 are located at the initial position, and the C-type contact surface 33 is coplanar with the I-type contact surface 43.
[0043] When the required operation space is large, the central screwing rotating wheel 2 drives the circumferentially distributed C-type clamping sliders 3 and the I-type clamping sliders 4 to move radially, so that the circumferential C-type clamping sliders 3 and the I-type clamping sliders 4 are close. The circumferentially distributed C-type contact surface 33 and the I-type contact surface 43 jointly form an operation space, meeting the operation needs of large-sized external hexagonal bolts. It should be noted that the length of the C-type contact surface 33 and the I-type contact surface 43 is longer than the thickness of the C-type clamping slider 3 and the I-type clamping slider 4, which facilitates increasing the contact area with the external hexagonal bolt. When the operation is completed, the central screwing rotating wheel 2 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the circumferentially distributed C-type clamping sliders 3 and the I-type clamping sliders 4 to reset. The C-type clamping slider 3 and the I-type clamping slider 4 return to the standby state.
[0044] When the required operation space is small, the central screwing rotating wheel 2 continues to rotate. Since the I-type driven thread 41 has more radial machining turns than the C-type driven thread 31, the C-type clamping slider 3 advances a certain distance along the radial direction, and the C-type driven thread 31 disengages from the driving thread 21. The I-type driven thread 41 continues to engage with the driving thread 21, and the I-type clamping slider 4 continues to move radially. The circumferentially distributed I-type contact surface 43 jointly forms an operation space, meeting the operation needs of small-sized external hexagonal bolts. When the operation is completed, the central screwing rotating wheel 2 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the circumferentially distributed I-type clamping sliders 4 to move away from each other along the radial direction. After moving a certain distance, the boss 42 contacts the groove 32. The I-type clamping slider 4 drives the C-type clamping slider 3 to move. The driving thread 21 engages with the C-type driven thread 31 and the I-type driven thread 41. The central screwing rotating wheel 2 continues to rotate, driving the circumferentially distributed C-type clamping sliders 3 and the I-type clamping sliders 4 to reset. The C-type clamping slider 3 and the I-type clamping slider 4 return to the standby state.
[0045] After the adjustment of the operation space is completed, the robot provides power through the power interface 8 to input, driving the external hexagonal bolt tool to rotate as a whole to complete the screwing of the external hexagonal bolt.
[0046] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalent features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
