[0036] The drill bit 5 is fixedly connected with a bolt bit 6, through which the bolt is tightened.
[0037] like Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, a drill bit 5 is rotatably connected to the driving mechanism 4, and the drill bit 5 includes a driving shaft 51 that passes through and is rotatably connected to the driving mechanism 4. An inclined groove 56 is provided in the driving shaft 51, and a connecting rod 57 is rotatably connected to the driving shaft 51. A slider 58 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 57, and the slider 58 and the inclined groove 56 are slidably matched with each other. A first spring 59 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 57. In the process of the drill bit 5 moving downward, when the bolt bit 6 is not aligned with the bolt, the bolt bit 6 drives the connecting rod 57 to move upward through the rotating rod 54. At this time, the slider 58 on the connecting rod 57 cooperates with the inclined groove 56 to drive the connecting rod 57 to rotate, so that the bolt bit 6 is rotated to a position aligned with the bolt, and moves downward to cover the bolt.
[0038] A pair of snap rings 52 are fixedly connected to the drive shaft 51, and the pair of snap rings 52 are engaged with the housing 41.

The end of the locking sleeve 55 close to the connecting rod 57 is fixedly connected with a second spring 515. The end of the second spring 515 away from the locking sleeve 55 is fixedly connected with a ratchet ring 514. The ratchet ring 514 and the first ratchet 51 3 are meshed with each other, the driving shaft 51 drives the connecting rod 57 to rotate through the cooperation of the inclined groove 56 and the slider 58, the connecting rod 57 drives the rotating rod 54 to rotate, and the rotating rod 54 drives the clamping jaw 510 to rotate. At this time, since the second clamping tooth 517 is clamped by the first clamping tooth 23, the locking sleeve 55 is fixed, and the locking sleeve 55 pushes the ratchet ring 514 to clamp the first ratchet 513 through the second spring 515, so that the rotating sleeve 512 is locked. Under the thread cooperation of the rotating sleeve 512 and the thread groove 511, the rotating clamping jaw 510 is pushed inward to clamp and fix the bolt bit 6. After that, as the clamping of the clamping jaw 510 is completed, the first ratchet 513 breaks through the thrust of the second spring 515 and pushes the ratchet ring 514 to avoid damage to the ratchet ring 514.
[0040] like Figure 2As shown, a bit rack 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing frame 1, and the bit rack 2 includes a base 21 fixedly connected to the fixing frame 1, a plurality of bit fixing grooves 22 are provided on the base 21, and a plurality of first latching teeth 23 are fixedly connected around the bit fixing grooves 22, and the second latching teeth 517 are clamped by the first latching teeth 23.

The connecting rod 57 drives the rotating rod 54 to rotate, and the rotating rod 54 drives the clamping jaw 510 to rotate. At this time, since the second latching tooth 517 is clamped by the first latching tooth 23, the locking sleeve 55 is fixed, and the locking sleeve 55 pushes the ratchet ring 514 to clamp the first ratchet tooth 513 through the second spring 515, so that the rotating sleeve 512 is locked. Under the thread cooperation between the rotating sleeve 512 and the thread groove 511, the rotating clamping jaw 510 is pushed inward to clamp the bolt bit 6. After that, as the clamping of the clamping jaw 510 is completed, the first ratchet tooth 513 breaks through the thrust of the second spring 515 and pushes the ratchet ring 514 open to avoid damage to the ratchet ring 514.
[0042] Then the robotic arm 3 drives the drill bit 5 to move above the bolt. During the downward movement of the drill bit 5, when the bolt bit 6 is not aligned with the bolt, the bolt bit 6 drives the connecting rod 57 to move upward through the rotating rod 54. At this time, the slider 58 on the connecting rod 57 cooperates with the inclined groove 56 to drive the connecting rod 57 to rotate, so that the bolt bit 6 rotates to a position aligned with the bolt, and moves down to cover the bolt, and then tightens the bolt under the drive of the drive motor 42.
