Compared with traditional automatic screw locking machines, the biggest advantage of this device is its accuracy. It can be widely used in electronics, medical, aviation and other fields to improve production efficiency and quality.

[0003] Existing screw locking equipment such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper feed pipe is mostly welded and connected to the vertical feed pipe at an angle, and the feed pipe and the vertical feed pipe are in a Y-shaped structure as a whole. As a result, when conveying longer screws from the feed pipe to the vertical feed pipe, the screws are easily stuck in the Y-shaped connecting part between the feed pipe and the vertical feed pipe and cannot be discharged normally, affecting the normal and effective use of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a robot screw locking device to solve the problem that the feed pipe is often fixed and connected with the vertical feed pipe by oblique welding, which causes the screws to be easily stuck in the Y-shaped connecting part between the feed pipe and the vertical feed pipe and cannot be fed normally, thus affecting the normal and effective use of the equipment.

[0005] The technical solution proposed by the utility model is: a robot screw locking device, specifically comprising a multi-axis robot, wherein a screw locking mechanism is installed at the head end of the multi-axis robot mechanical arm;

[0006] The screw locking mechanism includes a main body mounting rod, an I-shaped bracket and a screw driving shaft. A steering motor is installed at the bottom of the main body mounting rod. A turntable is fixed at the bottom of the steering motor shaft, and a vertical feed pipe is welded at the outer circumference of the turntable. The top opening of the vertical feed pipe extends upward and penetrates the turntable. The I-shaped bracket is fixed below the bottom of the main body mounting rod. The I-shaped bracket is composed of a horizontal support rod and a vertical support feed pipe and a positioning sleeve symmetrically welded at both ends of the horizontal support rod, wherein the screw driving shaft is rotatably installed on the positioning sleeve.

[0007] The steering motor is used for rotating and driving the vertical feeding pipe to switch alternately between the vertical supporting feeding pipe and the positioning shaft sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore,

[0009] An arc-shaped mounting plate is welded to the top end of the main body mounting rod, and the arc-shaped mounting plate is fixedly connected to the head end of the multi-axis robot mechanical arm by screw locking.

[0010] Furthermore,

[0011] A U-shaped connecting frame is welded to the bottom of the main body mounting rod, and the bottom end of the U-shaped connecting frame is welded and fixed to the I-shaped bracket.

[0012] Furthermore,

[0013] An electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the positioning sleeve, a tightening motor is invertedly mounted on the top end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod, and a rotating shaft of the tightening motor is axially connected with a screwing drive shaft for transmission.

[0014] Furthermore,

[0015] Two semicircular limiting sleeves are symmetrically rotated and installed at the bottom of the vertical feeding pipe, and a conical stopper is welded in the bottom opening of the two semicircular limiting sleeves.

[0016] Furthermore,

[0017] The bottom part of the vertical feeding tube is symmetrically welded with two horizontal mounting plates, the rotating shafts of the two semicircular limiting sleeves are correspondingly penetrated and rotated with the two end parts of the two horizontal mounting plates, and one end of the rotating shaft of the two semicircular limiting sleeves is provided with a reset coil spring.

[0018] Furthermore,

[0019] A positioning sleeve is welded on the end of the two semicircular limit sleeve rotating shafts away from the reset coil spring, and a positioning square rod is welded on the horizontal mounting plate close to the side of the positioning sleeve, and a positioning insert frame is installed on the positioning square rod through spring pushing and sliding;

[0020] The positioning sleeve is provided with a hexagonal insertion hole.

[0021] Furthermore,

[0022] The positioning frame is in a U-shaped structure, and the head end of the positioning frame is in a hexagonal structure. The head end of the positioning frame is correspondingly plugged and matched with the two positioning sleeves.

[0023] Furthermore,

[0024] An L-shaped stress-bearing rod is welded at the middle position of the top of the positioning insert frame, and the top end of the L-shaped stress-bearing rod is an oblique section structure;

[0025] A vertical slide groove is provided on the circumferential outer wall of the vertical feed pipe, and the oblique section of the head end of the L-shaped force-bearing rod is inserted and matched with the vertical slide groove;

When in use, the vertical discharge pipe can be rotatably placed at the bottom of the vertical support feeding pipe and directly connected with the vertical support feeding pipe to carry out conveying and discharge of screws. Compared with the existing technology of obliquely welding and integrating the discharge pipe and the feeding pipe, the discharge channel is straight and smooth without Y-shaped bends, which can greatly reduce the probability of screw jamming and blocking, and help to ensure the normal and effective use of the equipment as a whole.

[0029] In addition, when the steering motor and the driving turntable drive the vertical discharge pipe to rotate and switch, the positioning frame can implement a rigid and stable plug-in fixation on the two semicircular limit sleeves, avoiding the two semicircular limit sleeves simply relying on the elastic positioning of two reset springs, which are insufficient in elasticity and thrown away by the centrifugal force of rotation, causing the screws inside to be lost, which helps to ensure the normal implementation of the equipment locking operation.

[0030] In addition, through the guiding principle of the oblique section structure at the front end of the L-shaped force-bearing rod and used in conjunction with the spring on the positioning square rod, when the driving shaft is rotated to slide up and down and tighten the locking screw, the L-shaped force-bearing rod and the positioning frame can be pushed and driven to move forward and backward, and the two semicircular limit sleeves can be automatically pulled in and out and tightened. This saves the trouble of manually positioning and loosening the two semicircular limit sleeves before and after each locking operation. The operation is simple and time-saving, and it can also avoid the need to configure an automatic pulling in and tightening drive device for the positioning frame, which helps to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the equipment.
