Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a mechanical assembly device, in particular to a screw assembly device with variable assembly angle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of mechanical equipment design concepts and mechanical assembly process technology, the structural design of various mechanical equipment devices is becoming more and more complex, and the structural space is becoming smaller and smaller. When assembling the structure, the operating space is getting smaller and smaller, and the visibility of the operation is low, which reduces the assembly efficiency and makes the assembly process requirements more and more stringent. Traditional screw assembly tools are mainly screwdrivers. Screwdrivers of different lengths can meet the requirements of different depths of assembly space. However, for structural designs with complex internal spaces and various screw assembly directions, screwdrivers with a single assembly direction cannot meet the assembly requirements.

[0003] Currently, the problem of single screwdriver assembly angle is solved by using flexible adapters. However, the deflection and shape of the flexible adapters are difficult to control during use, which may damage other surrounding parts and cause new assembly quality problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in view of the drawback that the conventional screwdriver is used for screw assembly at a single angle, the present invention provides a screw assembly device with a variable assembly angle.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] See also Figure 1 An embodiment of a screw assembly device with a variable assembly angle of the present invention is mainly composed of a handle control mechanism 1 and an angle conversion mechanism 2.

[0030] See also Figure 2 The main functions of the handle control mechanism 1 are to provide power for the screw assembly device, perform power and lighting control, and display the real-time assembly picture. The handle control mechanism 1 includes a handle, and the handle includes a shell. The shell includes a base 11, an upper cover 12, a first side cover 13, and a second side cover 14. The first side cover 12 and the second side cover 13 are connected to form a hollow cavity. The base 11 can be detachably installed at one end of the hollow cavity, and the upper cover 12 can be detachably installed at the other end. The hollow cavity contains a detachably installed rechargeable battery 15, and the battery 15 can be taken out by removing the base 11. A brushless motor 16 is installed on the top of the battery 15 to provide power for the device. The output shaft of the brushless motor 16 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 17 through a key, and the output shaft of the reducer 17 extends out of the upper cover 12 as a connector of the angle conversion mechanism 2. The reducer 17 is used to reduce the high speed output by the motor 16 to a speed suitable for screw assembly.

[0031] The housing is provided with a first switch 18, and the battery 15, the motor 16 and the first switch 18 are connected to form a first electrical circuit through a cable for controlling the motor 16. The first switch 18 is preferably a double-throw switch for controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 16.

[0032] A display screen 19 is installed on the first side cover 13 for displaying the real-time picture transmitted by the head camera of the screw assembly device. A second switch 20 is installed on one side of the first side cover 13 for controlling the switch of the lighting lamp on the head camera of the screw assembly device.

[0033] See also Figure 3-Figure 5 The main function of the angle conversion mechanism 2 is to change the screw assembly angle, which includes a transmission mechanism 21 and an angle fixing mechanism 22. The transmission mechanism 21 includes a transmission rod 211, a universal ball 212, and a transfer rod 213. Two groups of connecting pins 214 are distributed in a cross shape on the universal ball 212. The universal ball 212 is placed in the transmission rod 211 and the transfer rod 213, and one end of the transmission rod 211 and one end of the transfer rod 213 are respectively hinged to a group of connecting pins 214, so that the transfer rod 213 can realize universal rotation relative to the transmission rod 211 through the universal ball 212. The transmission rod 211 is connected to the output shaft of the reducer 17 through a key to realize transmission. Different types of screw bits can be installed on the other end of the transfer rod 213. The angle fixing mechanism 22 includes a limit cover 221 sleeved on the outside of the transmission rod 211, a transfer limit cover 222 sleeved on the outside of the transfer rod 213, a latch mechanism 223 and a toothed disc 224. One end of the limit cover 221 is connected to the upper cover 12 of the handle, and the other end is installed with the latch mechanism 223. The toothed disc 224 is installed on the transfer limit cover 222. The central axis of the toothed disc 224 passes through the center of the universal ball 212, and the latch of the latch mechanism 223 can be inserted into or out of the toothed disc 224. When the latch mechanism 223 is inserted into the toothed disc 224, the transmission rod 211 and the transfer rod 213 are locked, and relative rotation can no longer be achieved through the pin 214, thereby achieving the fixing of the assembly angle, ensuring that the assembly angle does not change during use. The limit cover 221 is installed coaxially with the transmission rod 211, and no eccentricity and friction will occur during the transmission process. The transfer rod 213 and the transfer limit cover 222 are coaxially installed, and a bearing 23 is installed between the two. The bearing 23 and the transfer rod 213 are interference fit, which is mainly used to ensure that the transfer rod 213 and the transfer limit cover 222 maintain a coaxial and concentric position relationship, ensure that the transmission angle and the assembly angle remain fixed, and avoid serious friction between the transfer rod 213 and the transfer limit cover 222, thereby shortening the service life. A miniature camera 225 with an LED light is installed at the end of the transfer limit cover 222 for lighting and transmitting real-time images.

[0034] See also Figure 6The latch mechanism 223 includes an outer box 2231, a cover plate 2232 is provided on the outer box 2231, a spring 2233 and a latch 2234 are installed in the outer box 2231, the latch 2234 passes through the spring 2234, and one end of the latch 2234 extends out of the outer box 2231 and is installed with a pin head 2235 to facilitate the control of the latch 2234; the other end of the latch 2234 extends out of the outer box 2231, and a limiting structure 2236 is provided near the outside of the outer box 2231 to prevent the latch 2234 from extending too long from the outer box 2231.

[0035] When the present invention is used, first pull down the latch 2234 of the latch mechanism 223, then adjust the angle of the angle fixing mechanism 22 (or the transmission mechanism 21) by rotating the transfer limit cover 222, and when the angle fixing mechanism 22 is rotated to the required angle, release the latch 2234, so that the latch 2234 is locked with the toothed disc 224 on the transfer limit cover 222, so that the assembly angle is fixed. After that, install the corresponding screwdriver bit on the transfer rod 213. Finally, insert the head of the transfer rod 213 into the space where the screws need to be assembled, press the second switch 20 to turn on the head lighting, and at the same time, the real-time picture transmitted by the head camera 225 can be seen on the display screen 19 of the handle control mechanism 1. By aligning the screwdriver bit with the corresponding screw and turning the first switch 18 to the positive rotation side, the screws can be assembled.

[0036] The above is only a specific implementation scheme of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the art can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical scheme of the present invention by using the technical content disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical scheme of the present invention, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment of equivalent changes. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical scheme of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the technical scheme of the present invention.
