The nut tightening assembly 3 is driven by a moving module 9, and the moving module 9 includes a slide rail 91 and a vertical bracket 92, and the nut tightening assembly 3 is installed on the vertical bracket 92; the nut feeding assembly 1 feeds the nut 6 into the arc track 21, and the arc track 21 includes an arc part 211 and a vertical part 212, and the arc track 21 communicates with the cavity 7, specifically, the vertical part 212 communicates with the cavity 7, and the cavity 7 is directly below and aligned with the open mouth 33; the screw positioning assembly 5 includes a second motor 51 and a swing arm 52 driven by the second motor 51, and the two ends of the swing arm 52 are respectively provided with a first screw finger 53 and a second screw finger 54. The first screw finger 53 is driven by a first finger cylinder 532, and the first finger cylinder 532 drives the first screw finger 53 to clamp or release the screw 8. The second screw finger 54 is driven by a second finger cylinder 542, and the second finger cylinder 542 drives the second screw finger 54 to clamp or release the screw 8; the screw feeding assembly 4 feeds the screw 8 into the horizontal track 41, and the horizontal track 41 is aligned with the clamping hole 531 of the first screw finger 53 or the clamping hole 541 of the second screw finger 54.
[0036] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the purpose of this embodiment is to pre-tighten the nut 6 onto the screw 8. The nut feeding assembly 1 feeds the nut 6 into the open mouth 33 of the nut bit 32 through the arc track 21 and the cavity 7; the screw feeding assembly 4 feeds the screw 8 into the clamping hole 531 of the first screw finger 53 or the clamping hole 541 of the second screw finger 54 through the horizontal track 41; finally, the nut bit 32 automatically locks the nut 6 onto the screw 8, realizing pre-tightening the nut onto the screw. The whole process is automated, with high pre-tightening efficiency and good consistency of pre-tightening length.
[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the working principle of the nut-screw automatic pre-tightening device is as follows. The first positioning groove 23 and the second positioning groove 24 are both U-shaped grooves, and both the first positioning groove 23 and the second positioning groove 24 are in a vertical state. The positioning cylinder 22 drives the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove to approach or move away from each other. A first positioning piece 231 is provided at the lower end of the first positioning groove 23, and a second positioning piece 241 is provided at the lower end of the second positioning groove 24. The first positioning piece 231 and the second positioning piece 241 are used to block the nut 6 to be locked. The working steps of the nut-screw automatic pre-tightening device are as follows: In the first step, the nut 6 is sent into the bit through the arc track 21 and the cavity 7. The positioning cylinder 22 drives the first positioning groove 23 and the second positioning groove 24 to approach each other through the bracket 221, and makes the first positioning piece 231 and the second positioning piece 241 block the nut 6. In the second step, the screw feeding assembly 4 sends the screw 8 to the clamping hole 531 of the first screw clamping finger 53 or the clamping hole 541 of the second screw clamping finger 54 through the horizontal track 41. After the swing arm 52 rotates 180°, it is in a horizontal state, and the screw 8 is aligned with the nut 6. In the third step, the positioning cylinder 22 drives the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove to move away from each other, so that the nut 6 is completely exposed. In the fourth step, the nut bit 32 automatically locks the nut 6 to the screw 8. In the fifth step, during the rotation of the second motor 51, the first screw clamping finger 53 or the second screw clamping finger 54 is loosened, and the pre-tightened nut and screw fall into the first material bin 55 or the second material bin 56. Specifically, the nut-screw automatic pre-tightening device further includes a CCD assembly 10. The CCD assembly 10 can detect the defects of the pre-tightened nut-screw. Those without defects fall into the first material bin 55, and those with defects fall into the second material bin 56. In the sixth step, the second motor 51 rotates 180°, transports the next screw 8 into place, and completes the locking of the next nut 6. By repeating the steps from one to six, the whole process of automatic pre-tightening of the nut is realized.
[0038] See Figure 3 , in order to automatically separate the defective nut-screws, a first material bin 55 and a second material bin 56 are provided below the swing arm 52, and a swing cylinder 57 and a swing plate 58 are provided above the first material bin 55 and the second material bin 56. The swing cylinder 57 drives the swing plate 58 towards the first material bin 55 or the second material bin 56. When the CCD assembly 10 detects that the pre-tightened nut-screw has no defects, the swing cylinder 57 drives the swing plate 58 towards the first material bin 55, so that the defect-free nut-screw falls into the first material bin 55 along the swing plate 58. When the CCD assembly 10 detects that the pre-tightened nut-screw has defects, the swing cylinder 57 drives the swing plate 58 towards the second material bin 56, so that the defective nut-screw falls into the second material bin 56 along the swing plate 58, thereby realizing the separation of the defective nut-screws.
