Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a balancing device for assembly line installation tools, comprising a truss 1, with a moving unit 2 disposed on the upper part of the truss 1. The moving unit 2 includes an X-axis horizontal linear movement module. The X-axis horizontal linear movement module includes two X-axis guide rails 201 arranged parallel to each other on the upper end of the truss 1. Each of the two X-axis guide rails 201 has an X-axis slider 204 disposed above it, and each X-axis slider 204 has at least two pulleys 206 disposed at its lower end. The pulleys 206 at the lower end of each X-axis slider 204 are horizontally slidably connected to the corresponding X-axis guide rail 201, so as to stably slide the two X-axis sliders 204 along the length direction of the X-axis guide rail 201. Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the present invention also provides X-axis baffles at both ends of the X-axis guide rails 201 on the truss 1, and the X-axis baffles can abut against the X-axis sliders 204 to block and protect the X-axis sliders 204, preventing them from detaching from the X-axis guide rails 201.

[0022] A Y-axis horizontal linear motion module is mounted on the upper ends of the two X-axis sliders 204. Specifically, the Y-axis horizontal linear motion module includes two parallel Y-axis guide rails 202. The two ends of the two Y-axis guide rails 202 are fixedly connected to the two X-axis sliders 204, and a Y-axis slider 203 is mounted on the upper part of the two Y-axis guide rails 202. Two pairs of pulleys 206 are parallel to each other at the lower end of the Y-axis slider 203. The two pairs of pulleys 206 are horizontally slidably connected to the two Y-axis guide rails 202, so that the Y-axis slider 203 is stably slidably mounted on the Y-axis guide rails 202 along their length. Simultaneously, a Y-axis baffle 205 is provided on the upper side of each of the two X-axis sliders 204, allowing the baffle 205 to abut against the Y-axis slider 203 to block and protect it, preventing it from detaching from the Y-axis guide rails 202.

[0023] The lower end of the Y-axis slider 203 is fixedly connected to a probe rod 3. The probe rod 3 includes a fixed rod. The upper end of the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the Y-axis slider 203. The lower end of the fixed rod is provided with a vertical sliding hole. A movable rod 301 is vertically slidably installed in the vertical sliding hole through a linear bearing 302. At least one rolling retainer 303 is provided on the upper part of the movable rod 301, and the rolling retainer 303 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed rod. Thus, the contact between the rolling retainer 303 and the inner wall of the fixed rod ensures the stability of the movable rod 301 in the vertical direction. A connecting seat is fixedly installed at the lower end of the movable rod 301. A clamp seat 306 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat via a bearing. A tool mounting part is provided on the clamp seat 306. The tool mounting part is a mounting hole that passes through the clamp seat 306. The installation tool 305 to be fixed can be fixed on the clamp seat 306 through the tool mounting part. Then, the horizontal position of the installation tool 305 is adjusted by the operation of the X-axis horizontal linear movement module and the Y-axis horizontal linear movement module. The height of the installation tool 305 is adjusted by the relative sliding between the fixed rod and the movable rod 301. The angle of the installation tool 305 is adjusted by the rotation between the connecting seat and the clamp seat 306. This ensures that the position of the installation tool 305 corresponds to the part to be installed on the workpiece, thereby ensuring the reliability of the bolt installation on the die casting.
