Then, the tooling plate 10 moves to the shaft gear assembly component 7 under the conveyance of the conveyor belt 2, and the shaft gear is clamped and placed in the lower shell by the shaft gear robot 73. Then, the tooling plate 10 moves to the transfer component 16 under the conveyance of the conveyor belt 2, and the lead screw equipped with bearings and bevel gears is moved from the housing without housing installation by the transfer robot 162 The tooling plate 10 is moved from the station of the platform 13 to the station with the shell installation platform 13, and the bevel gear is placed in the lower shell. The positioning block 14 and the wedge surface 15 on the positioning block 14 position the screw during the transfer; then the tooling plate 10 is moved to the upper shell assembly component 8 under the conveyance of the conveyor belt 2, and the upper shell is clamped and placed in the shell installation block with the shell installation block station by the upper shell assembly manipulator, so that the upper shell and the lower shell are spliced with each other, and the bevel gear and the shaft gear are installed in the shell; then the tooling plate 10 is moved to another station under the conveyance of the conveyor belt 2. At the planting assembly 16, the screw assembly is transferred between the support plate 23 and another shell mounting platform 13 by the transfer robot 162, and is positioned by the shell mounting platform 13 and the shell during transfer; then the tooling plate 10 is moved to the oiling assembly 22 under the conveyance of the conveyor belt 2, and the roller skating oil is applied to the screw through the oiling drive group 222 and the precision oiling valve 223, and then the tooling plate 10 is moved to the discharging assembly 9 under the conveyance of the conveyor belt 2, and the assembled screw assembly is transferred to the storage area by the discharging robot 92 to complete the assembly line assembly of the screw assembly.
