[0007] Furthermore, the sleeve is detachably connected to the output shaft via a pin, a needle roller bearing is provided between the output shaft and the rotating housing, and an oil-free bushing is provided between the input shaft and the rotating housing.

[0009] Furthermore, the output end of the electric tightening gun is square, and the input shaft has a square hole, into which the output end of the electric tightening gun is inserted.

[0010] Furthermore, the electric wheel bolt tightening device also includes an image recognition unit, which is installed on the housing structure. The image recognition unit is used to capture and identify the position of the bolts installed on the electric wheel.

[0011] Furthermore, the image recognition unit includes a camera bracket, a fixing ring, a 3D camera, a 2D camera, and a light source. The camera bracket is mounted on the housing structure via multiple fixing rings, and the position of the fixing rings on the housing structure is adjustable. The 3D camera, the 2D camera, and the light source are all mounted on the camera bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the electric wheel bolt tightening device also includes a cylinder moving bracket and a cylinder fixed bracket. The cylinder fixed bracket is installed on the housing structure, the cylinder moving bracket is installed on the rotating housing, the cylinder barrel of the driving cylinder is hinged to the cylinder fixed bracket, and the telescopic end of the driving cylinder is hinged to the cylinder moving bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing structure includes a bearing mounting flange, a robot connection flange, and multiple guide shafts connecting the bearing mounting flange and the robot connection flange.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electric wheel bolt tightening device, characterized in that it includes a housing structure, a rotary bearing 8, an electric tightening gun 15, an input shaft 23, an output shaft 2, a sleeve 1, a rotating outer shell 5, a drive cylinder 6, and a reaction arm 3. The rotary bearing 8 is installed in the housing structure, the electric tightening gun 15 is installed in the housing structure and cooperates with the rotary bearing 8, the electric tightening gun 15, the input shaft 23, the output shaft 2, and the sleeve 1 are connected in sequence to drive the sleeve 1 to rotate. The sleeve 1 is used to tighten the bolts of the electric wheel. The output shaft 2 can move elastically in the axial direction relative to the input shaft 23. The rotating outer shell 5 is installed in the rotary bearing 8 and is sleeved on the output shaft 2. The reaction arm 3 is installed in the rotating outer shell 5. The drive cylinder 6 is installed in the housing structure, and the telescopic end of the drive cylinder 6 is movably connected to the rotating outer shell 5 to drive the rotating outer shell 5 and the reaction arm 3 to rotate. The reaction arm 3 is used to abut against the electric wheel.

[0039] In this embodiment, the electric tightening gun 15, input shaft 23, output shaft 2, and sleeve 1 are connected in sequence. The electric tightening gun 15, in cooperation with the rotary bearing 8, outputs power to the sleeve 1, causing the sleeve 1 to rotate and tighten the bolts on the electric wheel. The electric tightening gun 15 can also precisely control the torque, tightening the bolts to the correct preset torque and preventing the bolts from loosening or becoming too tight. Moreover, the axial elastic movement capability of the output shaft 2 allows the device to adapt to different tightening positions and angles, improving the flexibility of the electric wheel bolt tightening device. The drive cylinder 6 drives the rotating housing 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the reaction arm 3 to rotate. This allows the electric wheel bolt tightening device itself to counteract the torque borne by the device when tightening the bolts, preventing the device (e.g., a robot) from being subjected to excessive reaction force and causing damage, thus protecting the robot or other devices. This solution automates the electric wheel bolt tightening process, reduces manual operation, lowers the labor intensity of workers, and also helps to shorten the work cycle and improve work efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, the output shaft 2 is inserted into the input shaft 23 and connected via a spline. A guide post 22 is provided inside the input shaft 23, and a spring 21 in a compressed state is sleeved on the guide post 22. The spring 21 abuts against the end of the output shaft 2 inserted into the input shaft 23. A limit step is provided inside the input shaft 23, and the limit step cooperates with the stop at the end of the output shaft 2 inserted into the input shaft 23 to prevent the output shaft 2 from separating from the input shaft 23.

[0041] In this embodiment, the splined connection between the output shaft 2 and the input shaft 23 ensures a more stable connection and reduces loosening caused by vibration or impact. A guide post 22 is installed inside the input shaft 23, and a spring 21 is fitted onto the guide post 22, allowing the output shaft 2 to move elastically axially relative to the input shaft 23. This allows the device to adapt to different tightening positions and angles, improving its flexibility. Furthermore, the spring 21 absorbs impact and vibration, reducing wear between the output shaft 2 and the input shaft 23 and extending their service life. In this embodiment, the limiting step and the stop at one end of the output shaft 2 effectively prevent the output shaft 2 and the input shaft 23 from disengaging, preventing equipment damage and safety accidents.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the sleeve 1 is detachably connected to the output shaft 2 via a pin. A needle roller bearing 20 is provided between the output shaft 2 and the rotating housing 5, and an oil-free bushing 24 is provided between the input shaft 23 and the rotating housing 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, the sleeve 1 is detachably connected to the output shaft 2 via a pin, and an O-ring is fitted at the connection to prevent the pin from falling off during use. This connection is convenient and the structure is simple. Furthermore, it allows for faster disassembly and assembly when maintenance or replacement of the sleeve 1 or output shaft 2 is required. The needle roller bearing 20 placed between the output shaft 2 and the rotating housing 5 reduces rotational friction and improves speed and stability. Compared to traditional ball bearings, the needle roller bearing 20 has a smaller size and higher load capacity, making it suitable for applications with large radial loads. Moreover, the needle roller bearing 20 has high transmission efficiency, improving the overall working efficiency of the device. In this embodiment, an oil-free bushing 24 is also placed between the input shaft 23 and the rotating housing 5 to prevent radial movement of the input shaft 23. In this solution, both the needle roller bearing 20 and the oil-free bushing 24 reduce direct contact between the shaft and the rotating housing 5, thereby reducing wear and extending service life.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the reaction arm 3 and the rotating housing 5 are connected by a spline, and their relative positions are fixed by a locking nut 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, the reaction arm 3 and the rotating housing 5 are connected by a spline, which makes the connection between the reaction arm 3 and the rotating housing 5 more stable. In addition, the relative position of the two is fixed by the locking nut 4 to prevent vibration or impact caused by large torque during operation, and to ensure a stable connection between the reaction arm 3 and the rotating housing 5.

[0046] The output end of the electric tightening gun 15 is square, and the input shaft 23 has a square hole, into which the output end of the electric tightening gun 15 is inserted.

[0047] In this embodiment, the output end of the electric tightening gun 15 is square, and the corresponding input shaft 23 has a square hole. The two match, and during the connection process, the output end can easily find the correct position and align with the input shaft 23, thereby reducing installation errors and improving assembly accuracy. Moreover, compared with the traditional circular connection, the square connection method can transmit torque more effectively and reduce torque loss during transmission, thereby ensuring the accuracy of tightening torque.

[0048] Furthermore, the electric wheel bolt tightening device also includes an image recognition unit, which is installed on the housing structure. The image recognition unit is used to capture and identify the position of the bolts installed on the electric wheel.

[0049] In this embodiment, an image recognition unit is also installed. Through image recognition technology, the position of the bolt can be accurately detected, ensuring that the electric tightening gun 15 can be aligned with the bolt, reducing errors, shortening tightening time, and improving production efficiency.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the image recognition unit includes a camera bracket 9, a fixing ring 13, a 3D camera 16, a 2D camera 17, and a light source 18. The camera bracket 9 is mounted on the housing structure via multiple fixing rings 13. The position of the fixing rings 13 on the housing structure is adjustable. The 3D camera 16, the 2D camera 17, and the light source 18 are all mounted on the camera bracket 9.

[0051] In this embodiment, the camera bracket 9 is fixed to the housing structure by multiple fixing rings 13, and the position of the fixing rings 13 on the housing structure is adjustable. This design allows the camera bracket 9 to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different electric wheel sizes and bolt positions. Furthermore, the 3D camera 16 provides stereoscopic vision for accurate identification of the bolt's spatial position, while the 2D camera 17 captures planar images to assist the 3D camera 16 in identification. Especially when the 3D vision system cannot clearly identify the bolt, the 2D image can provide additional information. The bolt position obtained from the image is sent to the host computer, and the electric tightening gun 15 begins the bolt identification process based on the bolt position in the image. The light source 18 helps to provide uniform and sufficient light under different working environments and lighting conditions, improving the accuracy of image recognition. By integrating the 3D camera 16, 2D camera 17, and light source 18 onto the camera bracket 9, space is saved and space utilization is improved.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the electric wheel bolt tightening device also includes a cylinder moving bracket 7 and a cylinder fixing bracket 10. The cylinder fixing bracket 10 is installed on the housing structure, the cylinder moving bracket 7 is installed on the rotating housing 5, the cylinder barrel of the driving cylinder 6 is hinged to the cylinder fixing bracket 10, and the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 6 is hinged to the cylinder moving bracket 7.

[0053] In this embodiment, by setting up a cylinder moving bracket 7 and a cylinder fixing bracket 10, the cylinder moving bracket 7 is moved by driving the cylinder 6 to rotate the rotating housing 5, thereby driving the reaction arm 3 to rotate to offset the torque borne by the housing structure when tightening the bolt, which improves the flexibility and operability of the device, and bolt tightening operations can be performed even in space-constrained conditions.

[0054] Furthermore, the housing structure includes a bearing mounting flange 11, a robot connection flange 14, and a plurality of guide shafts 25 connected between the bearing mounting flange 11 and the robot connection flange 14. A slewing bearing 8 is mounted on the bearing mounting flange 11, the robot connection flange 14 is used to connect to the robot's robotic arm, and an electric tightening gun 15 is located in the area surrounded by the plurality of guide shafts 25.

[0055] In this embodiment, the bearing mounting flange 11 provides a stable support point for the installation of the slewing bearing 8, ensuring stability and reliability during the tightening process. The robot connecting flange 14 allows the electric wheel bolt tightening device to be easily and securely connected to the robot's robotic arm, enabling seamless integration of the electric wheel bolt tightening device with the robot. The guide shaft 25 is bolted to both ends of the bearing mounting flange 11 and the robot connecting flange, respectively, supporting and connecting the two flanges. Furthermore, the camera bracket 9 can be fixed to the guide shaft 25 using multiple retaining rings 13, the positions of which are adjustable. This design allows the camera bracket 9 to be flexibly adjusted to accommodate different electric wheel sizes and bolt positions.

[0056] The electric wheel bolt tightening device also includes an air source fixing plate 12, which is installed on the housing structure. An adapter 19 is provided on the air source fixing plate 12. The adapter 19 is used to connect to a compressed air source. The drive cylinder 6 is connected to the adapter 19 through a pipeline.

[0057] In this embodiment, the adapter 19 is directly mounted on the air source fixing plate 12, facilitating the connection between the drive cylinder 6 and the compressed air source, reducing complex pipeline layout and connections, and simplifying the air source access process. The integrated design of the air source fixing plate 12 and the adapter 19 reduces the space occupied and improves the space utilization efficiency of the overall structure. Moreover, the air source fixing plate 12 provides a stable support for the adapter 19, reducing the instability of the air source connection caused by vibration or impact, and ensuring the reliability of the air source supply.

[0058] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this solution and is not intended to limit the solution. Various modifications and variations can be made to this solution by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this solution should be included within the scope of protection of this solution.

[0059] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0060] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as exemplary only and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0061] In the description of this solution, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the attached drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing this solution and simplifying the description.
