[0037] The bolts are driven by the assembly mechanism 500 to move to the side of the parts to be assembled, the second articulating seat 550 drives the linkage block and the electric clamping jaw 580 to rotate synchronously by rotating the spherical adjusting seat 530 in the horizontal direction by the second speed reducer 540, the bolts are adjusted in the horizontal direction, the second articulating seat 550 is rotated in the vertical direction along the spherical adjusting seat 530 by rotating the gear 552 by the third speed reducer 553, so as to adjust the bolts in the vertical direction, the surface distance of the parts to be assembled is monitored by the plurality of distance measuring sensors 570, the horizontal and vertical angles of the linkage block 560 are adjusted by the second and third speed reducers 540 and 553 respectively, the detection values of the plurality of distance measuring sensors 570 are equal and equal to the preset value, at this time, the linkage block 560 is parallel to the surface of the parts to be assembled, so that the bolts clamped by the electric clamping jaw 580 are perpendicular to the surface of the parts to be assembled, thereby enabling the bolts to be vertically inserted into the mounting hole of the surface of the parts to be assembled, effectively improving the accuracy of bolt installation and avoiding bolt slippage or damage to the parts caused by bolt inclination.

[0038] The electric clamping jaw 580 is rotated by the fourth speed reducer 565, the transmission box 563 is moved out of the gap 561 by the electric cylinder 562, the transmission box 563 is supported by the two groups of telescopic rods 564 to avoid tilting, the bolts are rotated and moved at the same time by the electric clamping jaw 580, thereby rotating the bolts into the mounting hole and completing the assembly operation of the parts.

[0039] Different types of bolts are transported and clamped, so that the mechanical arm 200 can drive the assembly mechanism 500 to assemble different types of sports equipment parts, effectively improving the versatility of the industrial robot.
