[0040] As described in the background section, screws are currently commonly used for assembly during equipment assembly. To meet production demands and improve efficiency, an increasing number of industries are adopting screw fastening equipment to perform screw fastening operations. Existing screw fastening equipment utilizes a robotic arm to pick up screws from a feeder located at a fixed position and fasten them to the designated location. This fastening method requires the robotic arm to first pick up the screw from the feeder and then move to the designated position to perform the screw fastening operation, resulting in low fastening efficiency.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 5To address the aforementioned problems, according to one aspect of this application, an embodiment of this application provides a screw fastening device for fastening screws 600 into screw holes on an object to be fastened. The screw fastening device includes a fastening assembly 100, which includes a fastening support member 110, a screw storage tray 120, and a fastening part 130. The fastening support member 110 is movable within a set range. The screw storage tray 120 is disposed on the fastening support member 110 and has a plurality of storage slots 121 for storing screws 600. The fastening part 130 is disposed on the fastening support member 110 and has a fastening end. The fastening end of the fastening part 130 can pull out the screws 600 from the storage slots 121 and fasten the screws 600 into screw holes on the object to be fastened.

[0042] In this embodiment, the object to be fastened is the equipment to be assembled. The screw 600 can be inserted into the screw hole on the equipment to be assembled and engage with the threaded screw hole. The fastening support 110 is a fastening support frame, which can be fixedly installed on the output end of the robot or robotic arm 400 and can move within the range of movement of the output end of the robot or robotic arm 400. The set range is the range of movement of the robot or robotic arm 400. The screw 600 includes a screw rod and a nut fixedly installed on the screw rod. The diameter of the storage tank 121 is smaller than the radius of the nut and greater than or equal to the radius of the screw rod. At the same time, the extension direction of the storage tank 121 can be parallel to the vertical direction so that the screw 600 can be stored in the storage tank 121. The fastening part 130 can be a robot. The output end of the robot can carry an electric screwdriver 132. The output end of the robot can first pull the screw 600 out of the storage tank 121 and then use the electric screwdriver 132 to fasten the screw 600 into the screw hole on the object to be fastened.

[0043] When fastening screws 600 using the screw fastening device of this application, the fastening end of the fastening unit 130 first pulls the screw 600 out of the storage tank 121, and then fastens the screw 600 into the screw hole on the object to be fastened to complete the fastening operation. Since the screw fastening device of this application has a built-in screw storage tray 120, when fastening screws 600 using the screw fastening device of this application, the fastening end of the fastening unit 130 can directly grab the screw 600 from the storage tank 121 and fasten the screw 600 into the screw hole on the object to be fastened. It is not necessary to first grab the screw 600 from the feeder fixed at a set position and then carry the screw 600 to the designated position for the screw fastening operation, which greatly improves the fastening efficiency.

[0044] Reference Figures 3 to 5As an optional embodiment of this application, the screw storage tray 120 can rotate around its own axis, and the axial direction of the screw storage tray 120 is formed in a first preset direction. Multiple storage slots 121 are arranged on the screw storage tray 120 around the first preset direction. The locking part 130 can move along the first preset direction. A locking mounting hole 122 is provided between two adjacent storage slots 121. The locking end of the locking part 130 can attract or release the screw 600, and can carry the screw 600 through the locking mounting hole 122, and can lock the screw 600 into the screw hole on the object to be locked.

[0045] In this optional embodiment, the screw storage tray 120 is disc-shaped. Of course, in other embodiments, the screw storage tray 120 can also have other shapes. The locking assembly 100 further includes a locking drive unit, which includes a first drive member 141. The first drive member 141 is mounted on the locking support member 110. The output shaft of the first drive member 141 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the screw storage tray 120, thereby driving the screw storage tray 120 to rotate around its own axis. The first preset direction can be vertically set. The screw storage tray 121 can be installed at an angle or at an angle, with its extension direction parallel to the first preset direction. To ensure fastening efficiency, multiple storage trays 121 are evenly distributed around the screw storage tray 120. To ensure that the fastening end of the fastening part 130 can pass through the fastening mounting hole 122, the fastening mounting hole 122 is a through hole. To ensure the normal operation of the fastening operation, the object to be fastened is usually placed below the screw storage tray 120. The fastening part 130 may include an electric screwdriver 132 capable of fastening screws 600.

[0046] When fastening screws 600 using the screw fastening device of this application, firstly, the fastening end of the fastening part 130 attracts the screws 600 in the storage tank 121, and then moves the screws 600 away from the storage tank 121. After the screws 600 are disengaged from the corresponding storage tank 121, the screw storage tray 120 rotates until the fastening mounting hole 122 corresponds to the screws 600 attracted by the fastening end of the fastening part 130. Then, the fastening end of the fastening part 130 moves the screws 600 through the fastening mounting hole 122 and fastens the screws 600 into the screw holes on the object to be fastened, thus completing the fastening operation.

[0047] Reference Figures 3 to 7 As an optional embodiment of this application, the locking part 130 includes a sleeve 131, and an adsorption cavity is provided on the end face of the first end of the sleeve 131. The opening of the adsorption cavity can at least partially cover the opening of the storage tank 121. The locking assembly 100 also includes a pressure regulating component, which is connected to the adsorption cavity and can change the air pressure inside the adsorption cavity when it is in the state of covering the opening of the storage tank 121, so that the adsorption cavity adsorbs or releases the screw 600.

[0048] In this optional configuration, the length direction of the sleeve 131 is parallel to the first preset direction, the extension direction of the adsorption chamber is parallel to the first preset direction, the opening of the adsorption chamber is located on the end face of the first end of the sleeve 131, and can completely cover the opening of the storage tank 121; the pressure regulating component can be a vacuum generator, which is installed on the locking support component 110. The vacuum generator's pumping end is connected to the adsorption chamber, and can extract the gas in the adsorption chamber when the opening of the adsorption chamber covers the opening of the storage tank 121, so that the gas pressure in the adsorption chamber is lower than the atmospheric pressure, thereby adsorbing the screw 600 in the storage tank 121 into the adsorption chamber; when the opening of the adsorption chamber covers the opening of the storage tank 121, and the screw 600 passes through the locking mounting hole 122 and corresponds to the screw hole on the object to be locked, the pumping end of the vacuum generator stops pumping. When the gas pressure in the adsorption chamber is restored to the same or similar to the atmospheric pressure, the adsorption chamber will release the screw 600 adsorbed in the adsorption chamber. In addition, to facilitate the determination of the air pressure inside the adsorption chamber, the locking assembly 100 also includes a vacuum display 150. The vacuum display 150 is mounted on the locking support 110 and is connected to the adsorption chamber to display the air pressure inside the adsorption chamber. To filter impurities in the air entering the vacuum display 150, a filter 160 is provided between the vacuum display 150 and the adsorption chamber. The filter 160 is mounted on the vacuum display 150 and is connected to both the vacuum display 150 and the adsorption chamber to filter impurities in the air entering the vacuum display 150.

[0050] In this optional method, the opening of the adsorption chamber can completely cover the screw hole on the object to be fastened; the electric screwdriver 132 is also called an electric screwdriver, the axis of the electric screwdriver 132 is parallel to the first preset direction, and the end of the first end of the electric screwdriver 132 is the screwdriver tip end of the screw 600 that can be fastened; the fastening drive unit also includes a second drive member 142, the second drive member 142 is disposed on the fastening support member 110, the output shaft of the second drive member 142 is coaxial with the electric screwdriver 132 and is fixedly connected to the electric screwdriver 132 to drive the electric screwdriver 132 to rotate around its own axis. After the screw 600 is attracted into the adsorption chamber, the end of the first end of the electric screwdriver 132 contacts the screw 600. Then, the sleeve 131 and the electric screwdriver 132 carry the screw 600 through the fastening mounting hole 122. Once the end face of the first end of the sleeve 131 is pressed against the surface of the object to be fastened, and the opening of the adsorption chamber covers the screw hole on the object to be fastened, the end of the first end of the electric screwdriver 132 drives the screw 600 to rotate around the axis of the electric screwdriver 132 within the screw hole. During this process, the end of the first end of the electric screwdriver 132 also pushes the screw 600 further into the screw hole until the torque applied to the screw 600 by the electric screwdriver 132 reaches a set value, at which point the electric screwdriver 132 stops rotating and moving, thus completing the fastening operation. The end of the first end of the electric screwdriver 132 and the opening of the adsorption chamber together constitute the fastening end of the fastening part 130.

The second mounting member 173 is disposed on the side of the first mounting member 172 near the screw storage tray 120 and is mounted on the mounting body 171, and connected to the end of the second end of the sleeve 131. The reset member 174 is disposed between the first mounting member 172 and the second mounting member 173 and can switch between a compressed state and a free state. The first mounting member 172 can be slidably mounted on the mounting body 171 along a first preset direction, and the second mounting member 173 can be slidably mounted on the mounting body 171 along the first preset direction, so that the reset member 174 can switch between a compressed state and a free state.

[0055] In this optional embodiment, the mounting body 171 is a mounting plate, the first mounting member 172 is a first mounting bracket and is fixedly connected to the end of the second end of the electric screwdriver 132; the second mounting member 173 is a second mounting bracket and is fixedly connected to the end of the second end of the sleeve 131; the reset member 174 is a reset spring, and the two ends of the reset spring are hooked to the first mounting member 172 and the second mounting member 173 respectively. Of course, in other embodiments, the two ends of the reset spring can also be connected to the first mounting member 172 and the second mounting member 173 respectively using other connection methods.

[0056] When fastening the screw 600 into the screw hole on the object to be fastened, firstly, the mounting body 171 moves together with the electric screwdriver 132 and the sleeve 131 towards the screw storage tray 120 so that the opening of the adsorption chamber covers the storage tank 121; then, under the pressure adjustment action of the pressure regulating component, the screw 600 is adsorbed into the adsorption chamber; immediately, the mounting body 171 moves together with the sleeve 131 and the electric screwdriver 132 away from the screw storage tray 120 to pull the screw 600 out of the storage tank 121; when the screw 600... After detaching from the corresponding storage tank 121, the screw storage tray 120 rotates so that the locking mounting hole 122 aligns with the attracted screw 600. Then, the mounting body 171 drives the electric screwdriver 132, the sleeve 131, and the attracted screw 600 to move together toward the screw hole on the object to be locked. During this process, the screw 600 will pass through the locking mounting hole 122. When the end face of the first end of the sleeve 131 is pressed against the surface of the object to be locked, the movement stops after the opening of the adsorption chamber covers the screw hole on the object to be locked. Next, the suction chamber releases the screw 600 adsorbed within it. Under gravity, the screw 600 falls into the screw hole. The first end of the electric screwdriver 132 then rotates the screw 600 around its axis within the screw hole. During this process, the mounting body 171 also drives the electric screwdriver 132 to push the screw 600 further into the screw hole. Since both the first mounting member 172 and the second mounting member 173 can be slidably mounted on the mounting body 171 along a first preset direction, and the end face of the first end of the sleeve 131 is pressed against the surface of the object to be fastened, the first mounting member 172 and the second mounting member 173 will move closer to each other as the mounting body 171 moves. As the screw 600 is moved in a certain direction, the reset member 174 will be compressed. When the torque applied to the screw 600 by the electric screwdriver 132 reaches the set value, the mounting body 171 drives the electric screwdriver 132 and the socket 131 to move away from the screw hole on the object to be fastened. During this process, the reset member 174 will gradually switch from the compressed state to the free state and will simultaneously apply a thrust to the first mounting member 172 and the second mounting member 173. The first mounting member 172 and the second mounting member 173 will move away from each other under the thrust applied by the reset member 174. After the reset member 174 returns to the free state, the first mounting member 172 and the second mounting member 173 will no longer move relative to each other.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figures 8 to 11The screw fastening device in this embodiment also includes a feeding assembly 200, which is located on one side of the fastening assembly 100. The feeding assembly 200 includes a feeding support 210, a screw feeding tray 220, and a transfer part 230. The feeding support 210 is fixedly installed at a set position. The screw feeding tray 220 is located on the feeding support 210 and has multiple feeding slots 221 for storing screws 600. The transfer part 230 is located on the feeding support 210 and has a transfer end. The screw storage tray 120 has a feeding position. When the screw storage tray 120 is in the feeding position, the transfer end of the transfer part 230 can pull the screws 600 out of the feeding slots 221 and store the screws 600 in the storage slots 121.

[0058] In this embodiment, the feeding support 210 is a feeding support frame; the diameter of the feeding groove 221 is smaller than the radius of the nut and greater than or equal to the radius of the screw, and the extension direction of the feeding groove 221 can be parallel to the vertical direction so that the screw 600 can be stored in the feeding groove 221; the transferring part 230 can be a robot, and the output end of the robot can first pull the screw 600 out of the feeding groove 221, and then store the screw 600 in the storage groove 121. By using the feeding component 200 in this application, screws 600 can be put into the storage groove 121 on the screw storage tray 120, so that the storage groove 121 contains screws 600, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the fastening operation. In addition, to ensure fastening efficiency, the screw storage tray 120 usually works with the feeding component 200 to complete the feeding operation after the fastening component 100 has completed the fastening operation for one object to be fastened, and before another object to be fastened has moved to the time corresponding to the fastening component 100.

[0059] Reference Figures 8 to 11 As an optional embodiment of this application, the screw feeding tray 220 can rotate around its own axis, and the axial direction of the screw feeding tray 220 is formed in a second preset direction. Multiple feeding grooves 221 are arranged on the screw feeding tray 220 around the second preset direction. The feeding end of the transferring part 230 can move along the second preset direction and can adsorb or release the screw 600. When the screw storage tray 120 is in the feeding position, the second preset direction is parallel to the first preset direction, so that the feeding end of the transferring part 230 can carry the screw 600 adsorbed from the feeding groove 221 to the storage groove 121.

[0061] When the screw storage tray 120 is in the feeding position, it is located above the screw feeding tray 220. The transfer end of the transfer part 230 moves to the lower part of the screw storage tray 120 through the locking mounting hole 122 and attracts the screw 600 in the feeding groove 221. Then, it carries the screw 600 through the locking mounting hole 122 to the upper part of the screw storage tray 120. The screw storage tray 120 then rotates. After the storage groove 121 on the screw storage tray 120 corresponds to the screw 600, the transfer end of the transfer part 230 releases the screw 600. The screw 600 falls into the storage groove 121 under its own weight. Of course, in other embodiments, when the screw storage tray 120 is in the feeding position, it can also be located below the screw feeding tray 220. In this case, a through hole should be provided between two adjacent feeding grooves 221 for the transfer end of the transfer part 230 to pass through.
