[0025] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and some will become apparent from the following description or be learned through practice of the present invention.

[0027] The wear detection assembly 5 includes a first fixed column 501 fixedly connected to the output shaft 4, a second fixed column 502 is rotatably provided at the bottom end of the first fixed column 501, two rotating grooves 503 are symmetrically provided inside the second fixed column 502, a pressure plate 504 is fixedly provided inside the two rotating grooves 503 corresponding to the bottom end of the first fixed column 501, the pressure plate 504 and the rotating groove 503 are both connected by an elastic member 505, a first button 5031 for timing is fixedly installed inside the two rotating grooves 503, the first button 5031 is arranged below the connection between the elastic member 505 and the rotating groove 503, a second button 5032 for controlling the emergency stop of the screw driving machine 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the two rotating grooves 503 close to the first button 5031, the second button 5032 is arranged at the position where the elastic member 505 is compressed and deformed, and a pressure rod 506 is fixedly provided on one side of the two pressure plates 504 close to the elastic member 505, and the pressure rod 506 and the first button 5031 are at the same horizontal position.

[0028] A quick-release connector 7 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the second fixing column 502 , and the screwdriver bit 6 is connected to the second fixing column 502 via the quick-release connector 7 .

[0029] A rotating shaft 507 is fixed at the center of the bottom end of the first fixed column 501, and a rotating hole is opened at the position of the second fixed column 502 corresponding to the rotating shaft 507. The rotating shaft 507 is connected to the rotating hole through a bearing. The provided bearing can reduce the friction force of the rotating shaft 507 when rotating, and improve the stability of the rotating shaft 507 when rotating.

[0030] The elastic member 505 is a spring, and the pressure rod 506 is in the shape of an arc. When the elastic member 505 is compressed to the limit state, the screw also reaches the standard torque. At the same time, when the elastic member 505 is compressed to the limit state, the middle position thereof will be deformed. The deformation of the elastic member 505 can trigger the second button 5032, thereby controlling the screw tightening machine 3 to stop urgently by the second button 5032, and the tightening of the screw is completed at this time.

[0031] Two first slide rails 8 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the base 1 close to the moving seat 2. First sliders 9 are fixedly installed at the positions of the moving seat 2 corresponding to the first slide rails 8. The first sliders 9 slide in cooperation with the first slide rails 8. A first cylinder 10 for controlling the lifting of the moving seat 2 is fixedly installed near the top of the base 1, and the output end of the first cylinder 10 is connected to the moving seat 2.

[0032] A sliding seat 11 is fixedly installed on the side of multiple screw tightening machines 3, and a second slide rail 12 is fixedly installed at the positions of the mobile seat 2 corresponding to the multiple sliding seats 11. The sliding seat 11 and the second slide rail 12 slide in cooperation with each other, and a second cylinder 13 for controlling the sliding thereof is fixedly installed at the positions of the multiple sliding seats 11 inside the mobile seat 2. A movable groove 201 is provided at the positions of the mobile seat 2 corresponding to the multiple output shafts 4. By utilizing the cooperation of the second cylinder 13 and the sliding seat 11, the position of the screw tightening machine 3 can be accurately adjusted, so that the device can be suitable for batteries of various models.

[0033] When in use, the first button 5031, the second button 5032, the screwdriver 3, the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 13 can be connected to the control cabinet signal of the device, and then a timer is set inside the control cabinet. The first button 5031 and the second button 5032 are both provided with batteries, and the first button 5031 and the second button 5032 are both transmitted to the control cabinet signal of the device via Bluetooth. When the screwdriver head 6 rotates, the screw will be tightened. At the same time, the cooperation between the pressing plate 504 and the elastic member 505 can make the first fixing column 501 and the second fixing column 502 have a speed difference, so that when the screw is about to be tightened, the pressing plate 504 will compress the elastic member 505, and at this time the pressing rod 506 will contact the first fixing column 501 and the second fixing column 502. When the screwdriver bit 6 is not worn, the time taken to tighten the screw can be obtained. When the screwdriver bit 6 is worn, the screwdriver bit 6 will slip when tightening the screw, and then the contact time between the pressure rod 506 and the first button 5031 will increase. Therefore, whether the screwdriver bit 6 is worn can be judged by the contact time between the pressure rod 506 and the first button 5031, so that the staff can replace the screwdriver bit 6 in time. The screwdriver 3, the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 13, the control cabinet of the equipment, the timer and the Bluetooth signal transmission between the first button 5031 and the second button 5032 in this embodiment are all well-known technologies, so their specific structure and working principle are not described in detail.

[0034] The working process is as follows:

[0035] S1, such as Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, during operation, when the battery reaches below the moving seat 2, the first cylinder 10 controls the moving seat 2 to move downward, and then the screwdriver bit 6 docks with the screw head of the battery;

[0036] S2, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the output shaft 4 is controlled to rotate by the screwdriver 3, and then the output shaft 4 controls the screwdriver bit 6 to rotate through the wear detection component 5 and the quick release joint 7;

[0037] S3, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, when the screwdriver bit 6 rotates, the screw will be tightened. At the same time, the cooperation between the pressure plate 504 and the elastic member 505 can make the first fixing column 501 and the second fixing column 502 have a speed difference. When the screw is about to be tightened, the pressure plate 504 will compress the elastic member 505. At this time, the pressure rod 506 will contact the first button 5031. At this time, the time taken to tighten the screw when the screwdriver bit 6 is not worn can be obtained.

[0038] S4, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the elastic member 505 is compressed to the limit state, the screw also reaches the standard torque. At the same time, when the elastic member 505 is compressed to the limit state, the middle part thereof will be deformed. The deformation of the elastic member 505 can trigger the second button 5032, so that the second button 5032 is used to control the screw tightening machine 3 to stop urgently, and the tightening work of the screw is completed at this time.

[0039] S5, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, when the screwdriver bit 6 is worn, the screwdriver bit 6 will slip when tightening the screw, and then the contact time between the pressure rod 506 and the first button 5031 will increase, so as to judge whether the screwdriver bit 6 is worn by the contact time between the pressure rod 506 and the first button 5031, so as to facilitate the staff to replace the screwdriver bit 6 in time.

[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
