[0044] Figure 1 This is a plan view of a fastening auxiliary system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a bottom perspective view of a fastening auxiliary system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fastening auxiliary system 1 is a system for fixing bolt B to fasten bolt B to an object, and the fastening auxiliary system 1 includes a pop-out / feed device 1000 and a fixing device 2000.

[0046] Figure 3 An exploded perspective view of the ejection / feed device.

[0047] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The ejector / feed device 1000 can receive multiple bolts B from the outside and eject the supplied multiple bolts B to the outside. The ejector / feed device 1000 may include a housing 1200 and a control module 1400.

[0048] Figure 4 An exploded perspective view of the housing of the ejection / feeding device. Figure 5 This is a view showing the first and second movement spaces formed within the housing. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the state in which bolts are supplied to the housing.

[0049] refer to Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figures 4 to 6 The housing 1200 can accommodate a plurality of bolts B and allows the plurality of bolts B therein to be arranged. The housing 1200 may include a first top plate 1220, a first side plate 1240, a second side plate 1260 and a bottom plate 1280.

[0050] A first top plate 1220 may be disposed on a first side plate 1240 and a second side plate 1260. The first top plate 1220 may close one side of the space defined by the first side plate 1240 and the second side plate 1260. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bolts B supplied to the housing 1200 from separating from the interior of the housing 1200 to the exterior.

[0051] The first top plate 1220 may include a first protrusion 1222. The first protrusion 1222 may protrude from one surface of the first top plate 1220. The first protrusion 1222 may be disposed between the first side plate 1240 and the second side plate 1260. The first protrusion 1222 may suppress the wobbling of the head BH of the bolt B introduced into the housing 1200. Therefore, the first protrusion 1222 may prevent the bolts B from colliding with each other due to the wobbling of the bolts B moving inside the housing 1200, thereby preventing damage to the bolts B.

[0052] The first side plate 1240 may be disposed below the first top plate 1220. The first side plate 1240 may support the first top plate 1220. The first side plate 1240 may include a second protrusion 1242, a 1-1 receiving hole 1244, and a 1-2 receiving hole 1246.

[0053] The second protrusion 1242 may be provided on one surface of the first side plate 1240. The second protrusion 1242 may protrude from one surface of the first side plate 1240 toward a second side plate 1260 disposed parallel to the first side plate 1240. One surface of the second protrusion 1242 may be curved. The curved portion of the second protrusion 1242 may be a surface that contacts the head BH of the bolt B introduced into the housing 1200 to guide the head BH.

[0054] A 1-1 receiving hole 1244 can be formed through the first side plate 1240. Here, the 1-1 receiving hole 1244 can pass through the second protrusion 1242. Multiple 1-1 receiving holes 1244 can be provided, and the multiple 1-1 receiving holes 1244 can be arranged in a direction from the first top plate 1220 toward the first side plate 1240. The 1-1 receiving hole 1244 can receive and support the first pin 1462 (described below).

[0055] A 1-2 receiving hole 1246 can be formed through the first side plate 1240. Here, the 1-2 receiving hole 1246 can pass through the second protrusion 1242. Multiple 1-2 receiving holes 1246 can be provided, and the multiple 1-2 receiving holes 1246 can be arranged in a direction from the first top plate 1220 toward the first side plate 1240. Along the arrangement direction of the first side plate 1240, the 1-2 receiving holes 1246 can be located in front of the 1-1 receiving hole 1244. The 1-2 receiving holes 1246 can form a space in which the second pin 1464 (described below) can move.

[0056] The second side plate 1260 may be disposed below the first top plate 1220. The second side plate 1260 may support the first top plate 1220. The second side plate 1260 may be configured to be parallel to the first side plate 1240. The shape of the second side plate 1260 may be symmetrical to the first side plate 1240. The second side plate 1260 may include a third protrusion 1262, a 2-1 receiving hole 1264, and a 2-2 receiving hole 1266.

[0057] The third protrusion 1262 may be provided on one surface of the second side plate 1260. The third protrusion 1262 may protrude from one surface of the second side plate 1260 toward the first side plate 1240 which is arranged parallel to the second side plate 1260. One surface of the third protrusion 1262 may be curved. The curved portion of the third protrusion 1262 may be a surface that contacts the head BH of the bolt B introduced into the housing 1200 to guide the head BH.

[0058] A 2-1 receiving hole 1264 can be formed through the second side plate 1260. Here, the 2-1 receiving hole 1264 can pass through the third protrusion 1262. Multiple 2-1 receiving holes 1264 can be provided, and the multiple 2-1 receiving holes 1264 can be arranged in a direction from the first top plate 1220 toward the second side plate 1260. The 2-1 receiving hole 1264 can form a space in which the first pin 1462 (described below) can move. When the second side plate 1260 is set parallel to the first side plate 1240, the 2-1 receiving hole 1264 can be provided at the position of the 1-1 receiving hole 1244 facing the first side plate 1240.

[0059] A 2-2 receiving hole 1266 can be formed through the second side plate 1260. Here, the 2-2 receiving hole 1266 can pass through the third protrusion 1262. Multiple 2-2 receiving holes 1266 can be provided, and the multiple 2-2 receiving holes 1266 can be arranged in a direction from the first top plate 1220 toward the second side plate 1260. Along the setting direction of the second side plate 1260, the 2-2 receiving holes 1266 can be provided in front of the 2-1 receiving hole 1264. The 2-2 receiving holes 1266 can accommodate and support the second pin 1464 (described below). When the second side plate 1260 is set parallel to the first side plate 1240, the 2-2 receiving holes 1266 can be provided at the position of the 1-2 receiving hole 1246 facing the first side plate 1240.

[0060] The base plate 1280 may be configured to face the first top plate 1220. The base plate 1280 may be spaced apart from the first top plate 1220. The base plate 1280 may support the first side plate 1240 and the second side plate 1260. Therefore, the base plate 1280 may enclose a portion of the space defined by the first side plate 1240 and the second side plate 1260.

[0061] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The ends of the first side plate 1240 and the second side plate 1260 are cut-edge shaped, through which bolt B pops out. This prevents ejection delay caused by the body BB impacting the housing 1200 when bolt B is ejected to the outside of the housing 1200.

[0062] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 A first moving space 1200a and a second moving space 1200b can be formed in the housing 1200 of the ejection / supply device 1000. The head BH of the bolt B moves in the first moving space 1200a, the second moving space 1200b is connected to the first moving space 1200a, and the body BB of the bolt B moves in the second moving space 1200b. That is, a "T"-shaped moving space can be formed between the first side plate 1240 and the second side plate 1260 through the second protrusion 1242 of the first side plate 1240 and the third protrusion 1262 of the second side plate 1260. This is used to prevent the bolt B from hitting the housing 1200 or the bolts B colliding with each other during the movement of the bolt B by suppressing the shaking of the bolt B moving in the housing 1200.

[0063] Figure 7 This is an exploded 3D view of the control module. Figure 8 This is a view showing the state in which the second pin of the control module closes a portion of the second movement space formed in the housing.

[0064] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The control module 1400 can control the movement of multiple bolts B, so that the multiple bolts B can be ejected. The control module 1400 may include a guide unit 1420, a first actuation assembly 1440, and a pin unit 1460.

[0065] The guide unit 1420 can be coupled to the pin unit 1460 to guide the movement direction of the pin unit 1460. The guide unit 1420 includes a combination of a third side plate 1422, a fourth side plate 1424, and a second top plate 1426.

[0066] The third side plate 1422 may support the first pin 1462 (described below). The fourth side plate 1424 may be configured to be parallel to the third side plate 1422 and may support the second pin 1464 (described below). The second top plate 1426 may connect the third side plate 1422 and the fourth side plate 1424 and may be coupled to the first actuation assembly 1440 (described below).

[0067] The first actuator 1440 may be supported by the housing 1200 and move the guide unit 1420. The first actuator 1440 may include a first actuator 1442 and a first moving block 1444.

[0068] The first actuator 1442 may be disposed on the first top plate 1220 of the housing 1200. The first actuator 1442 can be operated by receiving power or charging from the outside and can generate power.

[0069] The first movable block 1444 can be connected to the first actuator 1442. The first movable block 1444 can be coupled to and support the second top plate 1426 of the guide unit 1420. The first movable block 1444 can move by the power generated by the first actuator 1442. The first movable block 1444 can move linearly and relative to... Figure 8 The first moving block 1444 can move to the left or right. When the first moving block 1444 moves, the second top plate 1426 coupled to the first moving block 1444 can move. That is, the first moving block 1444 can linearly move the guide unit 1420. Here, the first moving block 1444 may have a shape that bends once to stably move the guide unit 1420 while connected to the first actuator 1442, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0070] The pin unit 1460 can separate the bolt B located at the foremost bolt B among a plurality of bolts B housed in the housing 1200 from the remaining bolts B. The pin unit 1460 may include a first pin 1462 and a second pin 1464. Thus, the pin unit 1460, including the first pin 1462 and the second pin 1464, can be positioned at a location passing through the housing 1200.

[0071] The first pin 1462 can be coupled to the third side plate 1422 of the guide unit 1420. Multiple first pins 1462 can be provided, and these multiple first pins 1462 can be positioned in the direction of the 1-1 receiving hole 1244 or 1-2 receiving hole 1246 of the first side plate 1240 of the housing 1200. Furthermore, the multiple first pins 1462 can be positioned from the first side plate 1240 of the housing 1200 toward the second side plate 1260. The first pin 1462 can be movably received in the 1-1 receiving hole 1244 of the first side plate 1240 of the housing 1200, while simultaneously being coupled to the third side plate 1422.

[0072] The second pin 1464 can be coupled to the fourth side plate 1424 of the guide unit 1420. Multiple second pins 1464 can be provided, and these pins can be positioned in the direction of the 2-1 receiving hole 1264 or 2-2 receiving hole 1266 of the second side plate 1260 of the housing 1200. Furthermore, the multiple second pins 1464 can be positioned from the second side plate 1260 of the housing 1200 toward the first side plate 1240. The second pin 1464 can be movably received in the 2-2 receiving hole 1266 of the second side plate 1260 of the housing 1200, while simultaneously being coupled to the fourth side plate 1424.

[0073] Figure 9 This is a view showing the state in which the first pin of the control module is closed off in part of the second movement space formed within the housing. Figure 10 This is a view showing the state in which the first pin of the control module is positioned between the bolts.

[0074] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 The first pin 1462 prevents movement of the remaining bolts B except for the foremost bolt B among the plurality of bolts B arranged within the housing 1200. More specifically, when the first actuator 1442 of the control module 1400 is operated, the guide unit 1420 and the first moving block 1444 of the first actuation assembly 1440 supporting the guide unit 1420 can be positioned in a first location. Here, through the guide unit 1420 and the first moving block 1444 positioned in the first location, the second pin 1464, coupled to the fourth side plate 1424 of the guide unit 1420, will close a portion of the second movement space 1200b formed in the housing 1200 (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 8 ).

[0075] Therefore, the first pin 1462 is positioned at the intersection of the first pin 1462 and the second moving space 1200b formed inside the housing 1200. Thus, the bolt B housed inside the housing 1200 remains in contact with the second pin 1464 and is not ejected from the outside of the housing 1200. Therefore, the bolt B inserted into the housing 1200 can move to contact the second pin 1464.

[0076] Conversely, with the second pin 1464 partially closed in the second movement space 1200b formed in the housing 1200, when the first actuator 1442 of the control module 1400 is operated, the guide unit 1420 and the first moving block 1444 of the first actuation assembly 1440 supporting the guide unit 1420 can be moved from the first position to the second position. Here, through the guide unit 1420 and the first moving block 1444 arranged in the second position, the first pin 1462, coupled to the third side plate 1422 of the guide unit 1420, partially closes the second movement space 1200b formed in the housing 1200 (see...). Figure 9 ).

[0077] Furthermore, the second pin 1464 is positioned where it does not enclose a portion of the second moving space 1200b formed within the housing 1200. That is, the movement restriction of the bolt B in contact with the second pin 1464 is released, and thus, the bolt B is ejected to the outside of the housing 1200.

[0078] In this way, the first pin 1462 can contact the body BB of the bolt B moving in the second movement space 1200b of the housing 1200 to prevent the bolt B from moving. This can prevent the bolt B from being accidentally ejected by preventing the movement of multiple bolts B moving inside the housing 1200 without a power source. Furthermore, since the first pin 1462 does not close a portion of the second movement space 1200b formed in the housing 1200, movement of the bolts B introduced into the housing 1200 can be induced, allowing multiple bolts B to be introduced into the housing 1200.

[0079] In addition, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the direction of bolt B's movement, the second pin 1464 can be positioned in front of the first pin 1462, and the movement of bolts B separated from the plurality of bolts B can be controlled by the first pin 1462. As described above, the second pin 1464 can move together with the fourth side plate 1424 of the guide unit 1420. Therefore, the foremost bolt B among the bolts B introduced into the housing 1200 can be moved by the second pin 1464. Furthermore, it can prevent bolts B from popping out when the fastening assist system 1 of the present invention is not placed in the position where bolts B are fastened.

[0080] In addition, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The first pin 1462 and the second pin 1464 of the pin unit 1460 can be moved simultaneously by the first actuation assembly 1440 while being supported by the guide unit 1420. Furthermore, the pin unit 1460 can move within a second movement space 1200b formed in the housing 1200. Figure 10 As shown, this is to separate the foremost bolt B from the rest of the multiple bolts B housed inside the housing 1200.

[0081] More specifically, when the first actuator 1442 of the control module 1400 is operated and the first moving block 1444 moves to the right, the guide unit 1420 coupled to the first moving block 1444 and the first pin 1462 supported by the third side plate 1422 of the guide unit 1420 are moved to the right along the first moving block 1444 (see [link to documentation]). Figure 9 Therefore, the first pin 1462 is positioned at the intersection of the first pin 1462 and the second moving space 1200b formed inside the housing 1200. In this case, as... Figure 10 As shown, the first pin 1462, which moves in the second moving space 1200b of the housing 1200, is disposed between the foremost bolt B and the body BB of the bolt B among a plurality of bolts B, and the body BB of the bolt B is continuously disposed with the body BB of the foremost bolt B.

[0082] Therefore, the foremost bolt B among the plurality of bolts B housed in the housing 1200 can be separated from the remaining bolts B (see [reference]). Figure 10 In this configuration, when the first pin 1462 moves together with the guide unit 1420, the second pin 1464 also moves together with the guide unit 1420. Therefore, the second pin 1464 is positioned to open the second moving space 1200b formed in the housing 1200. Consequently, the bolts B, which are separated from the plurality of bolts B by the first pin 1462, can be moved to be ejected from the housing 1200.

[0083] Thus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the fastening auxiliary system 1 can individually separate and eject multiple bolts B disposed inside the housing 1200.

[0084] Figure 11 This is an exploded perspective view of the fixed device.

[0085] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11The fixing device 2000 can fix the bolt B ejected from the ejection / supply device 1000. The fixing device 2000 may include a connection module 2200, a receiving module 2400, and a holding module 2600.

[0086] The connection module 2200 can be coupled to the receiving module 2400 and the holding module 2600 to support each of the receiving module 2400 and the holding module 2600. The connection module 2200 may include a first connection block 2220 supporting the receiving module 2400, a second connection block 2240 supporting the holding module 2600, and a third connection block 2260 connected to the first connection block 2220 and the second connection block 2240 to support the first connection block 2220 and the second connection block 2240. Here, the first connection block 2220 and the second connection block 2240 may be arranged in a direction that is perpendicular to each other.

[0087] Figure 12 This is an exploded 3D view of the receiving module. Figure 13 This is a view showing the state of the receiving module coupled to the guiding unit.

[0088] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The receiving module 2400 can accommodate bolt B ejected by the control module 1400 of the ejection / supply device 1000. The receiving module 2400 may include a receiving plate 2420 and a second actuation assembly 2440.

[0089] The receiving plate 2420 can be connected to the second actuation component 2440 and move toward or away from the pop-up / supply device 1000 as the second actuation component 2440 is operated.

[0090] Furthermore, the receiving plate 2420 can support bolts B that have been ejected to the outside of the housing 1200 of the ejection / supply device 1000. More specifically, the receiving plate 2420 may include a receiving groove 2422. The receiving groove 2422 may be formed in the region of the receiving plate 2420 near the ejection / supply device 1000. The width of the receiving groove 2422 may be greater than or equal to the diameter of the body BB of bolt B. The receiving groove 2422 can accommodate the body BB of bolt B that has been ejected to the outside of the ejection / supply device 1000.

[0091] The second actuation component 2440 can move the receiving plate 2420. The second actuation component 2440 may include a second actuator 2442 and a second moving block 2444.

[0092] The second actuator 2442 can be coupled to the first connecting block 2220 of the connecting module 2200. Therefore, the second actuator 2442 can be supported by the first connecting block 2220. The second actuator 2442 can operate by receiving power or charging from the outside and can generate power.

[0093] The second moving block 2444 can be connected to the second actuator 2442. Power generated by the second actuator 2442 allows the second moving block 2444 to move toward or away from the ejector / supply device 1000. Furthermore, the second moving block 2444 can be coupled to the receiving plate 2420 to support it. Therefore, when the second actuator 2442 moves the second moving block 2444, the receiving plate 2420 can move along the second moving block 2444. That is, the second moving block 2444 can move the receiving plate 2420 linearly. Here, the first moving block 1444 may have a once-bent shape to stably move the guide unit 1420 while connected to the second actuator 2442, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0094] refer to Figure 1 The ejector / feed device 1000 can be configured to tilt relative to the direction of movement of the receiving plate 2420. This is to allow the bolt B ejected from the ejector / feed device 1000 to be arranged perpendicular to the object.

[0095] Furthermore, the ejector / feed device 1000 is tilted relative to the direction of movement of the receiving plate 2420, so that the bolt B ejected from the ejector / feed device 1000 can be ejected from the housing 1200 without power. Therefore, since no separate device is needed to move the bolt B inside the housing 1200, the cost of manufacturing and operating the fastening auxiliary system 1 can be reduced.

[0096] Figure 14 This is an exploded perspective view of the clamping module. Figure 15 This is a view showing the state in which the third actuation component of the clamping module is coupled to the connection module.

[0097] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 The retaining module 2600 can hold bolt B on the receiving module 2400. The retaining module 2600 may include a clamping module 2620 and a third actuation assembly 2640.

[0098] The clamping module 2620 can clamp the bolt B located on the receiving plate 2420 of the receiving module 2400. The clamping module 2620 may include a first engagement component 2622 and a second engagement component 2624.

[0099] The shapes of the first occlusal component 2622 and the second occlusal component 2624 may be symmetrical to each other. In addition, the first occlusal component 2622 and the second occlusal component 2624 may move in directions toward or away from each other by means of the third actuation component 2640.

[0100] The first engagement assembly 2622 may include a first engagement block 2622a and a first support block 2622b. The first engagement block 2622a clamps a bolt B located on a receiving groove 2422 of the receiving plate 2420. The first support block 2622b is coupled to the first engagement block 2622a, supports the first engagement block 2622a, and is connected to the third actuation assembly 2640. Here, the first engagement block 2622a and the first support block 2622b may be integrally formed.

[0101] The second engagement assembly 2624 may include a second engagement block 2624a and a second support block 2624b. The second engagement block 2624a clamps a bolt B located on a receiving groove 2422 of the receiving plate 2420. The second support block 2624b is coupled to the second engagement block 2624a, supports the second engagement block 2624a, and is connected to the third actuation assembly 2640. Here, the second engagement block 2624a and the second support block 2624b may be integrally formed.

[0102] The third actuation component 2640 can move the first engagement block 2622a and the second engagement block 2624a of the clamping module 2620 in different directions. The third actuation component 2640 may include a third actuator 2642, a 3-1 moving block 2644, and a 3-2 moving block 2646.

[0103] The third actuator 2642 can be coupled to the second connection block 2240 of the connection module 2200 (see...). Figure 15 Therefore, the third actuator 2642 can be supported by the second connecting block 2240. The third actuator 2642 can operate by receiving power or charging from the outside and can generate power.

[0104] The third actuator 2642 may include a first guide rail groove 2642a and a second guide rail groove 2642b. The first guide rail groove 2642a and the second guide rail groove 2642b may be based on... Figure 15 Arranged vertically. The first guide rail groove 2642a and the second guide rail groove 2642b can guide the movement direction of the 3-1 moving block 2644 and the 3-2 moving block 2646.

[0105] The 3-1 moving block 2644 can be coupled to the first support block 2622b of the first engagement assembly 2622. Furthermore, the 3-1 moving block 2644 can be connected to the third actuator 2642 and moved by the power generated by the third actuator 2642. In this case, the 3-1 moving block 2644 can be movably disposed in the first guide groove 2642a and the second guide groove 2642b of the third actuator 2642. Therefore, the 3-1 moving block 2644 can move along the first guide groove 2642a and the second guide groove 2642b.

[0106] The 3-2 moving block 2646 can be coupled to the second support block 2624b of the second engagement assembly 2624. Furthermore, the 3-2 moving block 2646 can be connected to the third actuator 2642 and moved by the power generated by the third actuator 2642. In this case, the 3-2 moving block 2646 can be movably disposed in the first guide groove 2642a and the second guide groove 2642b of the third actuator 2642. Therefore, the 3-2 moving block 2646 can move along the first guide groove 2642a and the second guide groove 2642b. Here, by the power generated by the third actuator 2642, the 3-2 moving block 2646 can move in the opposite direction to the 3-1 moving block 2644. That is, the 3-2 moving block 2646 can be moved to approach the 3-1 moving block 2644 or can be moved linearly away from the 3-1 moving block 2644.

[0107] The process of securing the bolt B to the object using the fastening auxiliary system 1 will be described below.

[0108] Figure 16 This is a view showing the operating state of the receiving module of the fixed device. Figure 17 This is a view showing the bolt body positioned within the receiving slot of the receiving plate. Figure 18 This is a view showing the state in which the clamping module is operated while the receiving module is in operation. Figure 19 This is a view showing the state in which the clamping module clamps the bolt body.

[0109] refer to Figures 1 to 19 More specifically, see reference Figures 16 to 19 First, with bolt B not supplied into housing 1200, the second pin 1464 of the control module 1400 of the ejection / supply device 1000 is positioned at the intersection of the second pin 1464 and the second space formed inside housing 1200 (see...). Figure 8 Additionally, in this state, the first pin 1462 of the control module 1400 of the eject / feed device 1000 is not located in the second moving space 1200b of the housing 1200 (see...). Figure 8 ).

[0110] In this state, the receiving module 2400 of the fixing device 2000 is operated. More specifically, the second actuator 2442 of the receiving module 2400 is operated, and the second moving block 2444 and the receiving plate 2420 connected to the second moving block 2444 are moved to approach the ejection / supply device 1000.

[0111] Therefore, as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the receiving plate 2420 is disposed between the first engagement component 2622 and the second engagement component 2624 of the retaining module 2600 of the fixing device 2000. More specifically, the receiving plate 2420 is disposed between the first engagement component 2622 and the second engagement component 2624 such that the center of the receiving groove 2422 of the receiving plate 2420, the center of the first engagement block 2622a, and the center of the second engagement block 2624a coincide with each other.

[0112] In the above-described state, bolts B are supplied into the housing 1200. A space is formed inside the housing 1200 to accommodate multiple bolts B, and the bolts B introduced into the housing 1200 move through the first moving space 1200a and the second moving space 1200b. Here, since the housing 1200 is arranged obliquely within the receiving plate 2420 of the receiving module 2400 of the fixing device 2000, the bolts B introduced into the housing 1200 move within the housing 1200 due to gravity without a special power supply, and then multiple bolts B are aligned within the housing 1200 (see...). Figure 10 ).

[0113] Thus, with multiple bolts B introduced and arranged within the housing 1200, when the first actuator 1442 of the control module 1400 of the ejector / feed device 1000 is operated, the first moving block 1444 connected to the first actuator 1442 is moved (e.g., ...). Figure 9 As shown), the guide unit 1420 of the control module 1400, which is connected to the first moving block 1444, moves along the first moving block 1444. Therefore, the first pin 1462 and the second pin 1464, which are connected to the guide unit 1420, also move along the guide unit 1420. Here, as... Figure 9 As shown, the second pin 1464 of the control module 1400 is moved to open the second movement space 1200b formed in the housing 1200, and the first pin 1462 is moved to pass through the second movement space 1200b formed in the housing 1200.

[0114] Therefore, the foremost bolt B among the plurality of bolts B housed in the housing 1200 is moved to be ejected outside the housing 1200, and the movement of the remaining bolts B other than the foremost bolt B is prevented by the first pin 1462.

[0115] Bolt B, which is moved to pop out of housing 1200 via the process described above, is located on receiving plate 2420. More specifically, as... Figure 17 As shown, the body BB of bolt B is disposed in the receiving groove 2422 of receiving plate 2420.

[0116] When bolt B is located on receiving plate 2420, the third actuator 2642 of the third actuation assembly 2640 of retaining module 2600 is activated. When the third actuator 2642 is activated, the 3-1 moving block 2644 and the 3-2 moving block 2646 connected to the third actuator 2642 move. More specifically, the 3-1 moving block 2644 and the 3-2 moving block 2646 move in a direction that brings them closer to each other. Therefore, the first engagement assembly 2622 connected to the 3-1 moving block 2644 and the second engagement assembly 2624 connected to the 3-2 moving block 2646 move closer to each other.

[0117] Therefore, as Figure 19 As shown, the first engagement block 2622a of the first engagement component 2622 and the second engagement block 2624a of the second engagement component 2624 clamp the body BB of the bolt B. Thus, the bolt B is fixed.

[0118] Thus, the fastening assistance system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can arrange bolt B at the position where bolt B is to be fastened to the object, fix bolt B at the position where bolt B is to be coupled to the object, and then suppress the shaking of bolt B. Therefore, the coupling stability between the object and bolt B can be improved.

[0119] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system is disclosed that supplies bolts individually without power and secures the individually supplied bolts without shaking, thus enabling a stable fastening between the object and the bolts.

[0120] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and alterations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as described in the technical solutions of the present invention. Furthermore, differences related to these modifications and alterations should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the present invention as defined in the technical solutions of the present invention.
