[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a shifting material-taking and capping mechanism for assembling parts with internal and external threads, characterized in that it includes a mounting base 100, on which a driving motor 200 and a rotating air gripper 300 are provided. The rotating air gripper 300 is arranged below the driving motor 200, and the rotating air gripper 300 is provided with a positioning member 310 for locating the central axis of the part with external threads. The driving motor 200 is used to drive the rotating air gripper 300 to rotate.

[0032] When the positioning member 310 positions the central axis of the part, the rotating air gripper 300 clamps the product;

[0033] The positioning member 310 is provided at the lower end of the rotating air gripper 300 and is located in the direction of the central axis;

[0034] The positioning member 310 is cylindrical in shape;

[0035] The shifting material taking and capping mechanism further includes a displacement assembly 400 mounted on the mounting seat 100 , the mounting end of the drive motor 200 is slidably mounted on the displacement assembly 400 , and the displacement assembly 400 is used to drive the rotating air claw 300 to shift laterally;

[0036] The displacement material taking and capping mechanism further includes a lifting assembly 500 mounted on the mounting seat 100 , the displacement assembly 400 is slidably mounted on the lifting assembly 500 , and the lifting assembly 500 is used to drive the rotating air claw 300 to move longitudinally.

[0037] The mechanism of this embodiment is used to take a part with an external thread at a fixed position, move it to the position of a part with an internal thread, and assemble the two parts with internal and external threads together;

[0038] The mechanism includes a mounting base 100, on which a lifting assembly 500 is fixedly mounted. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 500 is a lifting servo module, including a linear module and a servo motor. A displacement assembly 400 is slidably mounted on the linear module. The displacement assembly 400 performs reciprocating motion in the longitudinal direction through the lifting servo module. The displacement assembly 400 is a displacement cylinder, which moves in the horizontal direction. A U-shaped mounting block 410 is connected to the displacement assembly 400. The drive motor 200 is slidably connected to the displacement assembly 400 through the U-shaped mounting block 410, and the lower end of the drive motor 200 is connected to the rotating air claw 300; in actual working conditions, the rotating air claw 300 descends, and after the positioning member 310 determines the center position of the externally threaded part, the rotating air claw 300 clamps the part, and then, under the joint action of the lifting servo module and the displacement assembly 400, it rises and translates to the internally threaded part to be installed. The positioning member 310 is designed to prevent the rotary air gripper 300 from clamping the product crookedly. The design of the positioning member 310 effectively prevents the rotary air gripper 300 from clamping the externally threaded part crookedly when clamping the externally threaded part. Since the externally threaded part is long and only a small part can be clamped when taking the material, it is prone to eccentricity. The positioning member 310 determines the center position of the part before clamping, ensures the centration of the rotary air gripper 300 during the clamping process, and effectively reduces eccentricity during the assembly process. In addition, driven by the drive motor 200, the rotary air gripper 300 clamps the externally threaded part, descends and screws into the internally threaded part, thereby realizing automated assembly and improving production efficiency.

[0039] The displacement material taking and capping mechanism further includes an adjusting component 600 , which is disposed above the rotating air claw 300 . When the rotating air claw 300 rotates the capping, the adjusting component 600 performs buffering and deviation correction on the capping.

[0040] The adjustment assembly 600 includes a limiting column 610 and a rotating column 620 . The rotating column 620 is provided with a limiting slot 700 . The limiting column 610 is slidably connected to the limiting slot 700 .

[0041] In this solution, the adjustment assembly 600 consists of a limiting post 610 and a rotating post 620. When the rotating air gripper 300 is screwing on the cap, the sliding connection between the limiting post 610 and the limiting groove 700 provides a buffer space, while also allowing for slight up-down or lateral displacement during the capping process. This buffering design can effectively absorb some of the force when encountering greater resistance or pressure, preventing damage to the parts due to excessive downward pressure. This buffering design can effectively absorb some of the force, making the capping process smoother. The sliding connection of the limiting post 610 within the limiting groove 700 gives the rotating post 620 a certain degree of flexibility. When the externally threaded part clamped by the rotating air gripper 300 is docked with the internally threaded part, if there is slight eccentricity, the rotating post 620 moves within the limiting groove 700 to fine-tune the position of the parts to a state of alignment. This design can automatically correct deviations during the capping process and ensure the precise docking of the internal and external threads. This buffering and correction device achieves buffering and correction effects through a simple mechanical structure, protecting the integrity of the parts while improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
