[0047] like Figures 1-3 The screw-driving device shown includes a mounting plate 1, a hollow suction nozzle 2, a screw tool 3, a lifting block 4, and a Z-axis pressure mechanism 5.
[0048] Mounting plate 1 serves as a direct or indirect mounting structure for the hollow suction nozzle 2, screw tool 3, lifting block 4, and Z-axis pressure mechanism 5. The lifting block 4 is slidably mounted on mounting plate 1 along the Z-axis. Specifically, the lifting block 4 can directly slide against mounting plate 1, or it can slide against mounting plate 1 using other structures, thereby guiding the screw tool 3 to perform stable and precise lifting movements. The hollow suction nozzle 2 is positioned below the lifting block 4. The screw tool 3 is mounted on the lifting block 4 and has a detachable screwdriver head 31 that extends into the hollow suction nozzle 2. The Z-axis pressure mechanism 5 is mounted on mounting plate 1 and is also connected to the lifting block 4 to maintain the working pressure of the screwdriver head 31.
[0049] In the utility model, screwdriver bit 31 of screw tool 3 extends into hollow suction nozzle 2, and hollow suction nozzle 2 is used to adsorb screw, Z-axis pressure mechanism 5 exerts pressure on lifting block 4, so that screwdriver bit 31 exerts pressure on screw, in this way, when screw tool 3 drives screwdriver bit 31 to rotate, screwdriver bit 31 can drive screw to rotate.And with the rotation of screw, Z-axis pressure mechanism 5 continuously exerts pressure on lifting block 4, so that screwdriver bit 31 keeps pressure on screw in the whole working process, ensuring that screwdriver bit 31 stably drives screw to rotate.In the process of screwing, the assembly position of hollow suction nozzle 2 to screw is ensured, and the screwing device can automatically and stably screw the screw to the assembly position, and has good automatic effect.
[0050] For hollow suction nozzle 2, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , hollow suction nozzle 2 includes suction head 21, and the lower end of suction head 21 is provided with adsorption hole 211 for sucking screw.Suction head 21 is provided with negative pressure cavity 212 and first through hole 213, and first through hole 213 penetrates suction head 21 from top to bottom, first through hole 213 is communicated with adsorption hole 211, and negative pressure cavity 212 is communicated with adsorption hole 211.The lower end of screwdriver bit 31 extends into negative pressure cavity 212 through first through hole 213.Suction head 21 is connected with external negative pressure device such as air suction pump through pipeline, so that negative pressure is generated in negative pressure cavity 212.In suction head 21, the negative pressure in negative pressure cavity 212 is used to make adsorption hole 211 adsorb screw, and at least the head of screw is in adsorption hole 211 before screw is completely assembled, so that screw is stably sucked, and screw is prevented from falling during assembly.
[0051] Further, as shown in Figure 4 , the upper end of suction head 21 is provided with assembly opening 214.Hollow suction nozzle 2 further includes mounting head 22 and locking nut 23, and the lower part of mounting head 22 is provided with connecting part 221, connecting part 221 extends into assembly opening 214 and is connected with the upper end of suction head 21, and mounting head 22 is provided with second through hole 222 for screwdriver bit 31 to pass through, and second through hole 222 is communicated with negative pressure cavity 212.Screwdriver bit 31 extends into first through hole 213 through second through hole 222.In addition, mounting plate 1 is provided with suction nozzle support 6, and suction nozzle support 6 is provided with mounting hole, mounting head 22 passes through mounting hole, and mounting head 22 is locked by locking nut 23.Suction head 21 is connected with connecting part 221 of mounting head 22 through assembly opening 214, in this way, the fixed mounting of suction head 21 is realized, and the fixed mounting of hollow suction nozzle 2 is also realized.
[0052] In addition, negative pressure cavity 212 can be located in the middle or lower end of suction head 21, or can be located in the upper end of suction head 21, and the utility model preferably locates negative pressure cavity 212 in the upper end of suction head 21.
[0053] Further, the negative pressure cavity 212 is in communication with the assembly port 214 and the first through hole 213. In detail, the assembly port 214 and the negative pressure cavity 212 are the same cavity structure, the assembly port 214 is at the outer end, and the negative pressure cavity 212 is at the inner end, that is, the assembly port 214 is at the upper end, and the negative pressure cavity 212 is at the lower end. More specifically, the assembly port 214 is internally threaded, the connecting portion 221 is externally threaded, and the connecting portion 221 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the bit head 21. The screwdriver bit 31 passes through the mounting head 22, the negative pressure cavity 212, and the first through hole 213 in sequence.
[0054] In some specific embodiments of the hollow bit 2, as shown in Figure 4 the inner wall of the negative pressure cavity 212 is provided with an air inlet hole 215 and an air outlet hole 216, and interfaces are arranged at the air inlet hole 215 and the air outlet hole 216.

The mounting head 22 is further provided with a protection tube 223, which is located at the lower part of the connecting portion 221 and extends into the negative pressure cavity 212 and beyond the air inlet hole 215 and the air outlet hole 216. When the screwdriver bit 31 passes through the negative pressure cavity 212, the airflow in the negative pressure cavity 212 will rapidly flow to the air outlet hole 216, generating a large lateral pressure on the screwdriver bit 31. Due to the large length of the screwdriver bit 31, the screwdriver bit 31 will be slightly biased laterally, increasing the friction between the screwdriver bit 31 and the hollow bit 2, reducing the rotation speed of the screwdriver bit 31, increasing the wear of the screwdriver bit 31, and reducing the service life. After the protection tube 223 is arranged, the protection tube 223 extends to the area where the lateral airflow is generated, and the lateral pressure is borne by the protection tube 223 on the mounting head 22. The protection tube 223 is from the mounting head 22 and has a low overall length, and has a greater pressure bearing capacity, thereby effectively protecting the screwdriver bit 31, avoiding the pressure bias of the screwdriver blade, and enabling the screwdriver bit 31 to be normally assembled and rotated.
[0055] In some further embodiments of the screw driving device, as shown in Figure 4 the mounting head 22 is provided with a bearing hole 224, and in particular, the upper end of the mounting head 22 is provided with the bearing hole 224.

The sealing bearing 24 is arranged in the bearing hole 224, and the snap spring 25 is arranged in the bearing hole 224 and located outside the sealing bearing 24, and is used for assembly limiting of the sealing bearing 24. The screwdriver bit 31 is connected to the mounting head 22 through the sealing bearing 24. By arranging the sealing bearing 24 at the upper end of the mounting head 22, the sealing effect of the mounting head 22 is increased, and air leakage of the mounting head 22 is prevented or reduced.
[0056] In some further embodiments of the screw driving device, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the screw-driving device also includes a Z-axis sliding mechanism 7, which is mounted on the mounting plate 1. A lifting block 4 is mounted on the Z-axis sliding mechanism 7. Specifically, the Z-axis sliding mechanism 7 includes a Z-axis guide rail and a Z-axis slider. The Z-axis guide rail is mounted on the mounting plate 1 along the Z-axis direction, and the Z-axis slider is slidably mounted on the Z-axis guide rail. The lifting block 4 is mounted on the Z-axis slider.
[0057] Specifically, the Z-axis pressure mechanism 5 includes a pneumatic push rod 51 or a pneumatic component such as a cylinder. In this embodiment of the invention, a pneumatic push rod 51 is preferred.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the Z-axis pressure mechanism 5 also includes a pressure controller 52, which is electrically connected to the Z-axis pressure mechanism 5 and is used to control the pressure applied by the Z-axis pressure mechanism 5 to the lifting block 4.
