Wire thread inserts are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and other fields. However, existing machinery can sometimes fail to fully install the insert before attempting to do so. This can lead to missing inserts and negatively impact production quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide an assembly module for inserting a wire screw insert, so as to solve the problem of missing installation caused by failure to assemble the wire screw insert in the prior art.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] An assembly module for inserting a wire screw insert comprises a clamping cylinder for feeding materials and a threaded rod for removing the wire screw insert from the clamping cylinder and installing the wire screw insert. The upper end of the threaded rod is connected to a threaded rod motor for driving the threaded rod to rotate, and the threaded rod motor is connected to a vertical motion module for driving it to move up and down. The threaded rod outer surface is connected to a threaded sleeve contact tube elastically connected to the bottom of the threaded rod motor in the vertical direction. A proximity switch is also installed below the threaded rod motor to push the threaded sleeve contact tube upward through the wire screw insert when the threaded rod is installed, and the proximity switch is triggered by the rising threaded sleeve contact tube.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the clamping cylinder is connected to a horizontal motion module that drives it to move horizontally toward or away from the bottom of the tooth rod. The horizontal motion module is electrically connected to a processor, and the processor is also electrically connected to the clamping cylinder, the tooth rod motor, the vertical motion module and the proximity switch.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the horizontal motion module is installed at the lower end of the mounting plate, and a vertical telescopic cylinder electrically connected to the processor is installed at the upper end of the mounting plate. The telescopic rod of the vertical telescopic cylinder is connected to a wire screw output joint through an upper connecting plate. The wire screw output joint is arranged above the clamping cylinder on one side of the tooth rod, and is used to transport the wire screw to the clamping cylinder through the wire screw output joint.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the upper end of the wire screw output connector is connected to a transparent conveying tube that guides the wire screw into the wire screw output connector. An annular sensor for sensing whether a wire screw passes through the transparent conveying tube is installed outside the transparent conveying tube above the mounting plate. The annular sensor is electrically connected to the processor.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the horizontal motion module is a horizontal electric telescopic cylinder, and a first horizontally arranged linear guide rail is installed at the lower end of the mounting plate. A first slider is slidably connected to the first linear guide rail, and a lower connecting plate is installed on the first slider. The lower connecting plate is connected to the telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder and the horizontal electric telescopic cylinder.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the lower end of the tooth rod motor is connected to a positioning sleeve that is sleeved on the outside of the tooth rod, and the upper part of the brace contact tube is slidably connected between the tooth rod and the positioning sleeve; two vertical long holes are opened on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve, and two limit rods are provided on the upper part of the brace contact tube, and the two limit rods are respectively slidably connected to the two vertical long holes.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the vertical motion module is connected to a mounting base that moves up and down under its drive, and the tooth rod motor is installed on the upper part of the mounting base; the upper ends of the two limit rods are provided with sliding limit rings that are sleeved on the outside of the positioning sleeve, and a fixed limit ring is fixed outside the positioning sleeve above the sliding limit ring, and a spring is installed between the fixed limit ring and the sliding limit ring.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the vertical motion module is a vertical electric telescopic cylinder.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the vertical motion module is connected to a vertical linear module, so as to drive the vertical motion module to move up and down through the vertical linear module.

[0014] Beneficial effect: When the tooth rod is used to remove the wire screw sleeve from the clamping cylinder and install it, the tooth rod will move downward synchronously with the tooth rod. When there is a wire screw sleeve on the clamping cylinder, the tooth rod will realize the installation of the wire screw sleeve on the equipment. At the same time, the tooth rod will move upward when contacting the wire screw sleeve and trigger the proximity switch, thereby judging that a wire screw sleeve is installed at a position. If the tooth rod continues to complete the installation action of the wire screw sleeve on the equipment, the tooth rod will move upward because it does not contact the wire screw sleeve, and the tooth rod will not trigger the proximity switch. Then, whether the proximity switch is triggered can be used to judge whether the wire screw sleeve really exists when the machine is used to install the wire screw sleeve. If not, the wire screw sleeve installation operation is performed again at the same position to ensure that all positions can be installed in place, avoid missing installation, and thus ensure the production quality of the equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the present invention will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the drawings and the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structures of the drawings is only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0019] Example:

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an assembly module for inserting a wire screw sleeve, including a clamping claw cylinder 1 for feeding and a rod 2 for removing the wire screw sleeve from the clamping claw cylinder 1 and installing it. The upper end of the rod 2 is connected to a rod motor 3 for driving the rod 2 to rotate, and the rod motor 3 is connected to a vertical motion module 4 for driving it to move up and down. The vertical motion module 4 drives the rod 2 to move up and down through the rod motor 3, and the rod motor 3 controls the rod 2 to rotate, so that the rod 2 can remove the wire screw sleeve from the clamping claw cylinder 1 and install it; the outer surface of the rod 2 is connected to a rod elastically connected to the rod in the vertical direction. The braces contact tube 5 below the motor 3 can be movably matched with the tooth rod 2, or can be loosely matched with the tooth rod 2, so that the two will not affect each other whether they move up and down or rotate. A proximity switch 6 is also installed below the tooth rod motor 3, which is used to push the braces contact tube 5 upward through the wire screw sleeve when the wire screw sleeve is installed on the tooth rod 2, and trigger the proximity switch 6 through the rising braces contact tube 5. In practice, a positioning block or positioning ring can be set outside the braces contact tube 5 and located below the proximity switch 6, so that when the upper braces contact tube 5 rises, the positioning block or positioning ring can contact the proximity switch 6.

[0021] When the threaded rod 2 is used to remove the wire screw sleeve from the clamping cylinder 1 and install it, the threaded rod 2 will move downward synchronously with the threaded rod 2. When there is a wire screw sleeve on the clamping cylinder 1, the threaded rod 2 will realize the installation of the wire screw sleeve on the equipment. At the same time, the threaded rod 2 will move upward when it contacts the wire screw sleeve and trigger the proximity switch 6, thereby judging that a wire screw sleeve is installed at a position. If the threaded rod 2 continues to complete the installation action of the wire screw sleeve on the equipment, the threaded rod 5 moves upward because it does not contact the wire screw sleeve, and the threaded rod 5 will not trigger the proximity switch 6. Then, whether the proximity switch 6 is triggered can be used to judge whether the wire screw sleeve really exists when the machine is used to install the wire screw sleeve. If not, the wire screw sleeve installation operation is performed again at the same position to ensure that all positions can be installed in place, avoid the phenomenon of missing installation, and thus ensure the production quality of the equipment.

[0022] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the clamping cylinder 1 is connected to a horizontal motion module 7 that drives it to move horizontally toward or away from the bottom of the tooth rod 2, and then the horizontal motion module 7 can be used to control the movement of the clamping cylinder 1. When the clamping cylinder 1 is away from the tooth rod 2, it is convenient to set the wire screw sleeve on the clamping cylinder 1, and then the clamping cylinder 1 is sent to the bottom of the tooth rod 2 through the horizontal motion module 7, and the tooth rod 2 then removes the wire screw sleeve from the clamping cylinder 1 and installs it. The horizontal motion module 7 is electrically connected to a processor, and the processor is also electrically connected to the clamping cylinder 1, the tooth rod motor 3, the vertical motion module 4 and the proximity switch 6. Through the deployment of the processor, automatic control can be achieved. When the proximity switch 6 feedbacks that a wire screw sleeve at a position on the equipment is to be installed, it is moved to another position for installation. If the proximity switch 6 feedbacks that there is no wire screw sleeve, the clamping cylinder 1 takes the wire screw sleeve again and performs a secondary installation at the same position until each position is installed in place.

[0023] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the horizontal motion module 7 is installed at the lower end of the mounting plate 8, and the upper end of the mounting plate 8 is installed with a vertical telescopic cylinder 9 electrically connected to the processor, and the telescopic rod of the vertical telescopic cylinder 9 is connected to the wire screw output joint 11 through the upper connecting plate 10, and the wire screw output joint 11 is arranged above the clamping cylinder 1 on one side of the tooth rod 2, for conveying the wire screw to the clamping cylinder 1 through the wire screw output joint 11, and then conveying the wire screw one by one to the clamping cylinder 1 through the wire screw output joint 11, so as to facilitate subsequent actions on the clamping cylinder 1, and the vertical telescopic cylinder 9 controls the wire screw output joint 11 to move up and down, which does not affect the reciprocating movement of the clamping cylinder 1 between the tooth rod 2 and the wire screw output joint 11.

[0024] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the upper end of the wire screw sleeve output connector 11 is connected to a transparent conveying tube that guides the wire screw sleeve into the wire screw sleeve output connector 11, and an annular sensor 12 is installed outside the transparent conveying tube above the mounting plate 8 to sense whether a wire screw sleeve passes through the transparent conveying tube. The annular sensor 12 is electrically connected to the processor, and the annular sensor 12 can be used to sense whether a wire screw sleeve is conveyed to the wire screw sleeve output connector 11, thereby judging whether the wire screw sleeve output connector 11 can provide a wire screw sleeve for the clamping cylinder 1, and the timing of the clamping cylinder 1 clamping the wire screw sleeve, thereby realizing automation.

[0025] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the horizontal motion module 7 is a horizontal electric telescopic cylinder, and a horizontally arranged first linear guide rail 13 is installed at the lower end of the mounting plate 8. A first slider is slidably connected to the first linear guide rail 13, and a lower connecting plate 14 is installed on the first slider. The lower connecting plate 14 is connected to the telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder 1 and the horizontal electric telescopic cylinder. The horizontal motion module 7 drives the clamping cylinder 1 to move through the lower connecting plate 14, and the first linear guide rail 13 can ensure that the clamping cylinder 1 is reciprocating between the tooth rod 2 and the wire screw sleeve output connector 11.

[0026] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the lower end of the tooth rod motor 3 is connected to a positioning sleeve 15 that is sleeved on the outside of the tooth rod 2, and the upper part of the braces contact tube 5 is slidably connected between the tooth rod 2 and the positioning sleeve 15, and the three are clearance-matched and do not affect each other; two vertical long holes are provided on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 15, and two limit rods 16 are provided on the upper part of the braces contact tube 5, and the two limit rods 16 are respectively slidably connected to the two vertical long holes, and then the sliding range of the braces contact tube 5 is limited by the sliding of the two limit rods 16 in the vertical long holes.

[0027] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the vertical motion module 4 is connected to a mounting base 17 that moves up and down under its drive, and the tooth rod motor 3 is installed on the upper part of the mounting base 17; the upper ends of the two limit rods 16 are provided with a sliding limit ring 18 that is sleeved on the outside of the positioning sleeve 15, and a fixed limit ring 19 is fixed to the outside of the positioning sleeve 15 above the sliding limit ring 18, and a spring (not shown in the figure) is installed between the fixed limit ring 19 and the sliding limit ring 18. In practice, when the braces contact tube 5 slides upward, the braces contact tube 5 drives the sliding limit ring 18 to move upward through the two limit rods 16, and the sliding limit ring 18 will compress the spring between it and the fixed limit ring 19. When the wire screw sleeve is installed and the tooth rod motor 3 rises, the braces contact tube 5 no longer abuts the wire screw sleeve, and the elastic force of the spring automatically drives the sliding limit ring 18, the limit rod 16 and the braces contact tube 5 to automatically reset so that the next detection can be carried out.

[0028] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the vertical motion module 4 is a vertical electric telescopic cylinder with a simple and practical structure.

[0029] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the vertical motion module 4 is connected to the vertical linear module 20, which is used to drive the vertical motion module 4 to move up and down through the vertical linear module 20. The vertical motion module 4 can be adjusted to move up and down according to actual conditions to cope with different on-site conditions.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
