In short, for ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an automatic screw installation machine includes a screw conveying device 1, a screw positioning device 2 and an electric screwdriver 3. The screw conveying device 1 is connected to the side of the screw positioning device 2. The screws are arranged in sequence from the screw conveying device 1 into the screw positioning device 2, and then aligned and installed by the electric screwdriver 3. Figure 5 The screw conveying device 1 includes a first side plate 20 and a second side plate 21 which are arranged obliquely. A top plate 22 is arranged at intervals between the tops of the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 21. A connecting block is arranged on the sides of the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 21 for connecting with the top plate 22. The space between the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 21 is used to accommodate the rod of the screw, and the space between the first side plate 20, the second side plate 21 and the top plate 22 is used to accommodate the head of the screw. The two sides of the screw head are against the top of the two side plates. Ball bearings can also be arranged on the contact part between the two side plates and the top plate 22 and the screw to reduce friction and facilitate screw conveying. Through the screw conveying device 1, the screws can be automatically conveyed to the positioning device without the need for manual placement one by one, thereby greatly improving production efficiency.

[0024] The screw positioning device 2 includes a positioning seat 4, a positioning cavity 5 which passes through the upper and lower parts of the interior of the positioning seat 4, a screw feed groove 6 which is opened on the side of the positioning seat 4, and the screw feed groove 6 is connected with the positioning cavity 5. After the screw slides out of the screw conveying device 1, it directly slides into the positioning cavity 5 through the screw feed groove 6.

[0025] The electric screwdriver 3 is arranged above the positioning seat 4, and an electric screwdriver head 7 is arranged below the electric screwdriver 3. The electric screwdriver head 7 is arranged coaxially with the positioning cavity 5. The first positioning plate 8 and the second positioning plate 9 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the middle of the positioning cavity 5, and a square spacing portion 10 is arranged between the first positioning plate 8 and the second positioning plate 9. A first rotating space portion 11 is opened on the positioning seat 4 below the first positioning plate 8, and a second rotating space portion 12 is opened on the positioning seat 4 below the second positioning plate 9. The first rotating space portion 11 and the second rotating space portion 12 are used to facilitate the rotation of the first positioning plate 8 and the second positioning plate 9. The screw slides into the square spacing portion 10 between the first positioning plate 8 and the second positioning plate 9. The distance between the square spacing portions 10 is greater than the rod of the screw and smaller than the head of the screw, so that the screw can be stuck. Then wait for the electric screwdriver head 7 to descend and be adsorbed with the screw. The bottom of the electric screwdriver head 7 is generally provided with a magnetic layer for adsorbing the screw. After adsorption, the electric screwdriver head 7 drives the screw to descend. In the process of descending, such as Figure 4As shown, the first positioning plate 8 and the second positioning plate 9 rotate in opposite directions, so that the distance between the square spacer 10 is greater than the head of the screw, so that the screw can move downward. A first return spring 13 is provided at the bottom of the first space portion, and the top of the first return spring 13 is connected to the bottom of the first positioning plate 8. A second return spring 14 is provided at the bottom of the second space portion, and the top of the second return spring is connected to the bottom of the second positioning plate 9. The first return spring 13 and the second return spring 14 are used to achieve the reset of the first positioning plate 8 and the second positioning plate 9.

[0026] Combination Figure 3 , the bottom of the positioning seat 4 is located at the bottom of the positioning cavity 5, and the first positioning block 15 and the second positioning block 16 are rotatably provided on both sides, and a funnel-shaped spacer 17 is formed between the first positioning block 15 and the second positioning block 16. The third reset spring 18 and the fourth reset spring 19 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the positioning seat 4. The third reset spring 18 is connected to the first positioning block 15, and the fourth reset spring 19 is connected to the second positioning block 16. The funnel-shaped spacer 17 is used to finally adjust the position of the screw. Under the restriction of the funnel shape, the screw is automatically adjusted to the center position, which can ensure that the screw can accurately align with its predetermined installation position when moving downward. This design greatly reduces the deviation and error in the installation process and improves the accuracy and efficiency of the installation. The third reset spring 18 and the fourth reset spring 19 are used to achieve the reset of the first positioning block 15 and the second positioning block 16.

[0027] The side of the electric screwdriver 3 is provided with a lifting device, which includes a lifting frame 23, on which a lifting rail 24 is provided, and a lifting motor 25 is provided on the top of the lifting frame 23. The output end of the lifting motor 25 is connected to a lifting plate 26, which is slidably arranged on the lifting rail 24, and the side of the lifting plate 26 is connected to the electric screwdriver 3. Through the lifting device, the electric screwdriver 3 can achieve flexible height adjustment. Whether it is to adapt to workpieces of different heights or to adjust the position of the electric screwdriver 3 according to operational requirements, it can be achieved by controlling the lifting motor 25, which greatly improves the convenience of operation and work efficiency.
