[0056] Referring to Figures 9-10 A pair of limiting grooves 29 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the fastening sleeve 15, the finger-shaped block 22 is rotatably installed in the limiting groove 29 through the pin shaft piece 222, the upper part of the finger-shaped block 22 is inclined, and the bottom is flat.

[0057] The upper end of the finger-shaped block 22 is limitingly and slidingly installed in the inner wall of the limiting groove 1 through the pin shaft piece 222, and the spring piece 221 is connected between the limiting groove 1 and the pin shaft piece 222, and the spring piece 221 is used to tightly and reset the whole finger-shaped block 22.

[0058] Furthermore, the finger block 22 can deflect and slide up and down to a certain extent. The upper wall of the finger block 22 is provided with a copper contact piece 223. The upper groove wall of the copper contact piece 223 is provided with a copper contact point 27. The copper contact point 27 is electrically connected to the brush component 25 through a wire.

The conductive ring 26 is electrically connected to the machine tool 1 through a wire.

[0059] Among them, the brush component 25 rotates synchronously with the fastening sleeve 15.

[0060] Reference Figure 12 The inner wall of the positioning head 11 is symmetrically provided with mounting grooves 162 on both sides. The mounting grooves 162 are provided with limiting beads 16, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the outer groove opening of the mounting groove 162. An elastic spring 161 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 162. The elastic spring 161 is slightly arc-shaped and its bottom end extends out of the bottom wall of the positioning head 11.

[0061] In its natural state, the elastic spring 161 contacts the outer wall of the limiting bead 16 to limit the bead 16. When the bottom of the elastic spring 161 is compressed and deformed, the elastic spring 161 is bent as a whole. At this time, there is a gap between the limiting bead 16 and the elastic spring 161 to allow the limiting bead 16 to move freely.

[0062] Reference Figure 9 , Figures 14-17 The pneumatic block 21 is connected to the fastening sleeve 15 and is rotatably mounted in the middle of the connecting cylinder 18 via the bearing component 28. The pneumatic block 21 is rotatably disposed in the internal cavity of the pneumatic chamber 10. The inner wall cavity of the pneumatic chamber 10 is eccentrically disposed with the pneumatic block 21, that is, one side of the outer wall of the pneumatic block 21 is tangent to the inner wall of the cavity, and the other side has a gap. At the same time, the cavity with the gap is directly connected to the air nozzle 12 and is tangent to the air intake direction.

[0063] Furthermore, the pneumatic block 21 has multiple sliding grooves 32 inside to slide the blade 30. A limit pin 31 and a limit block 33 are installed on one side of the blade 30 to limit the sliding on the top and bottom sides of the sliding groove 32.

[0064] Among them, a pair of V-shaped elastic strips 34 are symmetrically installed in the middle of the limiting pin 31. The V-shaped elastic strips 34 extend to the inner walls of both sides of the sliding groove 32 and are in contact with the inner walls of the groove.

[0065] A shallow groove 36 is provided on the upper side of the sliding groove 32. The shallow groove 36 is connected to the V-shaped elastic strip 34. A copper contact piece 37 is installed at an angle on one side of the shallow groove 36. The copper contact piece 37 is deformed and tilted by the pressure of the V-shaped elastic strip 34.

[0066] The second copper contact 38 is arranged on the side away from the copper contact 37, is arranged in the shallow groove 36, and is electrically connected with the second brush piece 35 through a wire. The second brush piece 35 is assembled in the inside of the pneumatic block 21. On the contrary, the conductive ring 39 is assembled on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 18 to be in electrical contact with the second brush piece 35.

[0067] The connecting cylinder 18 is internally and externally symmetrical on both sides of the middle cylinder wall, and the slot is arranged with the conductive ring 26 and the conductive ring 39 to electrically connect the brush piece 25 and the brush piece 35.

[0068] In this embodiment, the rim 6 is temporarily fixed by being assembled on the limiting seat 101 at the upper part of the machine tool 1, and the threaded mounting hole is butt jointed with each bolt assembly rod 5, so that the bolt placed on the upper part of the bolt assembly rod 5 penetrates into the mounting hole. The boss arranged on the limiting seat 101 can limit the inner wall of the rim 6.

[0069] Then the spoke cover 61 is assembled on the rim 6, and the bolt is penetrated into each mounting hole. Then the cylinder piece 3 controlled by the machine tool 1 is extended to drive the support arm 7 to descend as a whole, at this time, the nut assembly mechanism descends, the positioning head 11 in it is gradually inserted into the mounting hole of the spoke cover 61, and the bolt end head in the mounting hole presses the nut piece arranged on the positioning head 11, so that the nut piece slides upward on the inner wall of the fastening sleeve 15.

[0070] At this time, the nut piece moves upward under the action of force and moves upward from the limiting bead 16 at the bottom of the positioning head 11. The top wall of the nut piece presses the bottom wall of the finger-shaped block 22 arranged on the inner wall of the fastening sleeve 15. The finger-shaped block 22 moves upward under the pressing until the copper contact 1 223 at the top of the copper contact 1 223 is in electrical contact with the copper contact 1 27 arranged on the inner wall of the slot. The copper contact 1 27 feeds back the corresponding electrical signal to the machine tool 1 through the wire, the brush piece 1 25 and the conductive ring 1 26. The machine tool 1 receives the corresponding electrical signal to control the external air source mechanism to pump the compressed gas into the pneumatic cabin 10. The pneumatic block 21 for driving is arranged in the pneumatic cabin 10. The pneumatic block 21 is driven by the compressed gas to rotate the fastening sleeve 15 synchronously, so as to assemble and tighten the nut piece.

[0071] In this process, the cylinder piece 3 is still in the state of being extended at this time, and the nut piece gradually descends with the rotation and fastening of the fastening sleeve 15.

[0072] Synchronous, with the gradual stretching of the cylinder 3, the fastening sleeve 15 gradually moves down, the assembly cylinder 8 is gradually moved down by the relative force, and the nut piece is gradually connected with the bolt piece. At this time, the positioning head 11 is in complete contact with the bottom wall of the mounting hole, and the assembly cylinder 8 is connected with the connecting cylinder 18 outside. In this process, the clamp plate 17 installed in the assembly cylinder 8 gradually approaches the magnetic block 24 arranged on the upper wall of the connecting cylinder 18, and when it falls to a certain position, the magnetic block 171 on the outer wall of the clamp plate 17 is adsorbed and attached to the magnetic block 24. At this time, the clamp plate 17 deflects outward, so that the pre-assembled nut piece originally clamped in the middle of the clamp plate 17 falls down. When it falls to the end, that is, when the connecting cylinder 18 and the lifting cylinder 20 are in complete contact, the magnetic block 24 passes through the magnetic block 171, and they are no longer in contact at this time. The clamp plate 17 is deflected and reset by the torsional spring piece 173.

[0073] Synchronous with the clamp plate 17, the distance between the lifting cylinder 20 on the inner wall of the assembly cylinder 8 and the upper wall of the connecting cylinder 18 gradually decreases until complete contact and pressure. The lifting cylinder 20 goes up under the action of force, and the reset spring 19 on the upper wall of the lifting cylinder 20 is compressed and deformed. At this time, the second feeding port 201 and the first feeding port 81 gradually coincide from the staggered state, and the nut piece in the nut feeding pipe 9 falls into the lifting cylinder 20 and is clamped by the clamp plate 17.

[0074] Among them, it is more summarized that the nut piece is arranged at one place of the connecting cylinder 18, the clamp plate 17 and the first feeding port 81. With the production operation, the nut piece falls down and is alternately fed.

[0075] Among them, in the process of the nut piece falling from the clamp plate 17 to the fastening sleeve 15, the upper extension guide cylinder 151 on the upper part of the fastening sleeve 15 guides the unloading force, so that the corners are aligned to be assembled into the fastening sleeve 15 to complete the feeding.

[0076] Among them, it is more summarized that with the continuous downward movement of the cylinder 3, the nut piece presses the top pressure of the finger-shaped block 22 to trigger the rotation of the fastening sleeve 15. At the same time, the clamp plate 17 is opened to make another nut piece fall into the fastening sleeve 15. At this time, the nut piece connected with the bolt piece has been tightly fastened. At this time, the cylinder 3 drives the whole device to go up, and the nut piece falling into the fastening sleeve 15 falls to the bottom of the fastening sleeve 15 and is limited by the limiting bead 16 to wait for the next assembly operation.

[0077] Further, the machine tool 1 controls the external air source mechanism to pump compressed gas into the pneumatic cabin 10, and the pneumatic block 21 is rotated by the vane plate 30. Here, it is the same as the pneumatic motor, and the pneumatic cabin 10 is provided with corresponding air inlet and outlet.

[0078] Wherein, when the fastening sleeve 15 rotates at high speed to drive the nut piece to tighten, in order to avoid the damage of the fastener and the workpiece caused by large torque, when the fastening sleeve 15 reaches a certain torque, the opposite force generated by the fastening sleeve 15 is directly transmitted to the pneumatic block 21, at this time the rotation of the pneumatic block 21 is blocked, and the vane plate 30 located at one place of the air connection nozzle 12 is stretched out under the centrifugal force, the vane plate 30 is in direct contact with high-speed compressed gas, the vane plate 30 is deflected under the gas pressure, at this time the vane plate 30 rotates around the limiting pin 31 as the deflection shaft, at this time the V-shaped elastic strip 34 fixed on the limiting pin 31 is deformed and exerts force on the copper contact piece two 37 arranged at one place of the shallow groove 36, so that it is deformed to contact the copper contact two 38, at this time the copper contact two 38, copper contact piece two 37, wire, brush piece two 35, conductive ring two 39 are in electrical connection, the conductive ring two 39 feeds back the corresponding electrical signal to the machine tool 1, at this time the machine tool 1 controls the external air source mechanism to stop pumping, and the pneumatic cylinder piece 3 goes up, thereby completing the assembly of the single hub piece.

[0079] Wherein, in actual application, the V-shaped elastic strip 34 enables the vane plate 30 to reset after deflection, and in the normal fastening process, the deflection angle of the vane plate 30 is insufficient to deform the copper contact piece two 37.

[0080] Due to the setting of the limiting block 33, when the vane plate 30 does not stretch out of the outer wall of the pneumatic block 21, the limiting block 33 limits the left and right deflection of the vane plate 30.

[0081] Wherein, in actual application, when the positioning head 11 contacts with the mounting hole of the spoke cover 61, the elastic spring sheet 161 at the bottom of the positioning head 11 is extruded and goes up, and a certain degree of bending is generated, so that the limiting bead 16 has a certain space for movement, thereby allowing the nut piece to pass through.

[0082] Wherein, in actual application, before processing, the corresponding fasteners such as gasket pieces, bolt pieces and nut pieces need to be placed in the corresponding position manually.

[0083] Wherein, in actual application, the machine tool 1 is provided with a guide frame 4 for mounting the unprocessed rim piece 6, the guide frame 4 extends to the limiting seat 101 side and facilitates the operator to take the material.

[0084] Wherein, in actual application, dynamic sealing pieces are arranged at the connection between the conductive ring piece and the brush piece.

[0085] Wherein, in actual application, an inclined section is arranged at the outer slot of the sliding groove 32 to meet the small range deflection of the vane plate 30.

[0086] Among them, it is worth noting that the brush, copper contact and conductive ring mechanism of the above mechanism are provided with corresponding positive and negative poles to realize circuit communication.
