Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of screw installation technology, and in particular to a screw installation error prevention device. Background Technology
[0002] Screws, as important fasteners, are widely used in many fields such as machinery, electronics, and construction. They are mainly used to connect and fix components, tightly binding two or more parts together through rotating threads, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of mechanical equipment or the stability of the structure. Furthermore, screws have the advantages of easy disassembly and high reusability, making them indispensable in modern industrial manufacturing.
[0003] The installation of a screw typically involves the following steps: First, select a suitable screw according to the design requirements and check the thread matching between the screw and the part to be installed; second, use a tool (such as a screwdriver or electric screwdriver) to screw the screw into the preset mounting hole; finally, ensure that the screw is tightened to the appropriate torque to avoid loosening or damage to the parts due to improper tightening.
[0004] In actual production, especially when multiple screws need to be installed on a single component, situations often arise where different mounting hole sizes are encountered. For example, on a complex mechanical part, some holes may require larger diameter screws to bear greater stress, while others require smaller diameter screws for precise fixing. If installers fail to accurately distinguish these mounting holes and their corresponding screw sizes, screw installation errors may occur, such as mismatched threads, inability to tighten, or loosening. This not only reduces production efficiency but may also affect product performance and even create safety hazards. Therefore, designing a device that can effectively prevent screw installation errors is particularly important. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to improve the problem in the prior art that the installation personnel have difficulty in accurately distinguishing the mounting hole specifications and screw models, which leads to screw installation errors, reduced production efficiency and damaged product performance, this application provides a screw installation error prevention device.
[0006] This application provides a screw installation error prevention device, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A screw installation error prevention device includes a housing, with multiple legs provided on one side of the housing. A position detection mechanism is provided on the side of the housing near each of the legs for detecting the size, specifications, and relative position of mounting holes on the components. A display screen is provided on the side of the housing away from each of the legs. The position detection mechanism and the display screen are electrically connected. The display screen is used to display the size and specifications of the mounting holes detected by the position detection mechanism and the relative position of each mounting hole.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to install screws of corresponding specifications in each mounting hole, the position detection mechanism can automatically collect the mounting hole data, thereby recognizing the size and relative position of the mounting hole and transmitting the detection results to the display screen. This process can reduce human measurement errors, enable installers to quickly judge whether the screw selection is correct, improve the accuracy and consistency of product assembly, increase production efficiency, make operation more intuitive and convenient, and improve the work experience of installers.
[0009] Optionally, the position detection mechanism includes a turntable, a drive component, a mounting plate, a telescopic component, and an image recognition sensor. The turntable is rotatably mounted on the side of the housing near each of the legs. The drive component is installed inside the housing, and its output end is coaxially fixed with the center of the turntable. The mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the side of the turntable away from the drive component.
[0010] The fixed end of the telescopic component is mounted on the mounting plate, the image recognition sensor is mounted on the telescopic end of the telescopic component, and the recognition end is parallel to each of the legs. The image recognition sensor and the driving component are both electrically connected to the display screen, and the image recognition sensor can move along a plane parallel to the turntable under the drive of the telescopic component.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving component can drive the turntable to rotate. The mounting plate and telescopic component, together with the moving image recognition sensor, can achieve multi-angle and multi-range scanning of the mounting holes, realize all-round detection of multiple mounting holes on complex parts, avoid missed detection, improve the comprehensiveness of detection, and the automated detection process reduces manual intervention, improves detection efficiency, and reduces labor intensity.
[0012] Optionally, the support leg includes a fixed cylinder, a sliding rod, and an elastic element. The fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the housing, one end of the sliding rod is slidably installed inside the fixed cylinder, and the elastic element provides a force for the sliding rod to extend outward from the fixed cylinder.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the outriggers can be telescopically adjusted through the cooperation of the fixed cylinder, sliding rod and elastic element. The elastic element provides stable support force, ensuring that the device remains horizontal and stable in different working environments, thereby improving the applicability of the device and enabling it to adapt to the testing needs of various specifications and shapes of parts.
[0014] Optionally, an abutment plate for abutment is fixedly provided at the end of the slide bar away from the housing.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, an abutment plate is fixedly installed at the end of the slide bar, which increases the contact area between the support leg and the component, disperses the supporting force, and improves the contact stability.
[0016] Optionally, the fixed cylinder is provided with a limiting structure for limiting the sliding range of the slide rod.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a limiting structure is set inside the fixed cylinder to limit the sliding range of the slide rod and prevent the slide rod from exceeding the design limit, which could cause device failure or damage.
[0018] Optionally, each of the fixed cylinders is provided with a light enhancement structure to enhance the recognition accuracy of the image recognition sensor.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the ambient lighting is enhanced through the illumination enhancement structure, thereby optimizing the recognition environment of the image recognition sensor and improving the recognition accuracy.
[0020] Optionally, the light enhancement structure includes a curtain slidably mounted between the two fixed cylinders and a light strip disposed on each of the fixed cylinders. Each curtain can extend or retract along the length direction of the fixed cylinder, and each light strip is located inside the space enclosed by each curtain.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding curtain and the light strip work together to concentrate the light source in a specific area, adapt to the testing needs of different components, and reduce energy waste outside the illumination range.
[0022] Optionally, the housing is hollow, and one side of the housing is detachable.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, the hollow shell design reduces the weight of the device, while the detachable structure makes the maintenance and replacement of components of the equipment more convenient.
[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0025] 1. When it is necessary to install screws of corresponding specifications in each mounting hole, the position detection mechanism can automatically collect the mounting hole data, thereby recognizing the size and relative position of the mounting hole and transmitting the detection results to the display screen. This process can reduce human measurement errors, enable installers to quickly judge whether the screw selection is correct, improve the accuracy and consistency of product assembly, increase production efficiency, make operation more intuitive and convenient, and improve the work experience of installers.
