Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of torque inspection device structure design, and in particular to a torque inspection device for screw machines. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, there are strict requirements for the torque control of screws. Before production, the screw machine needs to be checked for torque. The testing steps are to adjust the height of the equipment according to the screw specifications, then conduct a torque test and record the results. The torque check of the screw machine is an important quality control process. It ensures that the screw machine can provide appropriate torque when tightening screws to guarantee product quality and avoid potential damage.

[0003] Currently, the inspection device for screw machines requires manual adjustment of the height of the fastening device and equipment, and then the torque is measured by a sensor. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in extremely low work efficiency, but also prone to large errors in the final test results due to inaccurate adjustment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the following shortcomings in the existing technology: the current screw machine inspection device requires manual adjustment of the height of the fastening device and equipment, and then the torque is measured by the sensor. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in extremely low work efficiency, but also prone to large errors in the final test results due to inaccurate adjustment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A screw machine torque inspection device includes a base. The upper surface of the base has multiple circumferentially shaped grooves. Multiple clamps are provided on the surface of the base, and sliding bars are provided on the lower surface of each clamp. Multiple sliding bars are slidably disposed within the multiple grooves. Threaded holes are provided on the surface of each clamp, and threaded rods are threadedly installed within these holes. Driven bevel gears are fixedly connected to the threaded rods. A mounting platform is fixedly connected to the base via multiple support rods. The mounting platform has an internal mounting cavity and multiple mounting holes at its bottom. Rotary rods are rotatably installed within each of these mounting holes. One end of each rotary rod is fixedly sleeved with a driving bevel gear that meshes with the driven bevel gear. Partial threads are provided on the surface of each rotary rod. Worktables are threaded onto multiple rotary rods. A drive component for controlling the simultaneous rotation of multiple rotary rods is provided on the upper surface of the mounting platform. An inspection component for detecting torque is connected to the worktable.

[0007] Preferably, the inspection component includes a testing platform fixedly installed on the lower surface of the workbench, a torque sensor fixedly installed on the surface of the testing platform, a testing shaft horizontally rotatably installed on the lower surface of the testing platform, a clamping connector fixedly installed on the lower surface of the testing shaft, and a screw to be tested connected to the clamping connector.

[0008] Preferably, the screw to be tested includes a nut portion, the upper surface of which has a groove that matches the clip, and the lower surface of which has a screw portion fixedly installed. Both the surface of the nut portion and the surface of the screw portion have working holes.

[0009] Preferably, the driving component includes multiple driven gears, each of which is fixedly connected to one end of a multiple rotating rod. The multiple driven gears are meshed with a central gear. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting platform, and the output shaft of the servo motor passes through the mounting platform and is fixedly connected to the central gear.

[0010] Preferably, the connector is made of magnet, and the nut is made of ferritic stainless steel (SUS), which has a certain degree of weak magnetism.

[0011] The workbench has a working cavity inside, and a torque motor is fixedly installed in the working cavity. The output shaft of the torque motor is fixedly connected to the detection shaft.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. By using a servo motor in conjunction with a central gear and a driven gear, multiple rotating rods can be driven to rotate. Then, in conjunction with a driving bevel gear, a driven bevel gear, and a threaded rod, the worktable is moved to a designated position, allowing the fixture to tighten the screw to be tested. No manual adjustment is required, which increases work efficiency and reduces errors that may occur during adjustment.

[0014] 2. The clamp connector is made of magnet, and the nut of the screw to be tested is made of ferritic stainless steel, which has a certain degree of weak magnetism. Before the test begins, simply align the clamp connector with the slot on the nut and insert it. This will ensure that the screw remains in the center of the clamp when the worktable moves, eliminating concerns about the screw deviating from the axis or rotating, thus increasing the stability of the test.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] The terms used in this utility model, such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one", are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5The screw machine torque inspection device includes a base 1. The upper surface of the base 1 has multiple circumferentially shaped grooves 2. Multiple clamps 3 are provided on the surface of the base 1. Slide bars are provided on the lower surface of the clamps 3, and multiple slide bars are slidably disposed within the multiple grooves 2. Threaded holes are provided on the surface of the clamps 3, and threaded rods 4 are threadedly installed within the threaded holes. Driven bevel gears 5 are fixedly connected to the threaded rods 4. A mounting platform 6 is fixedly connected to the base 1 via multiple support rods 19. The mounting platform 6 has a mounting cavity inside and multiple mounting holes at its bottom. Rotating rods 7 are rotatably installed within each of the mounting holes. One end of the rotating rod 7 is fixedly sleeved with a driven bevel gear 5. The drive bevel gear 8 is meshed with the gear 5. The surface of the rotating rod 7 is partially threaded. The worktable 9 is threaded onto multiple rotating rods 7. The upper surface of the mounting platform 6 is provided with a drive component for controlling the rotation of multiple rotating rods 7 together. The drive component includes multiple driven gears 10. The multiple driven gears 10 are fixedly connected to one end of multiple rotating rods 7 respectively. The multiple driven gears 10 are meshed with a central gear 11. A servo motor 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting platform 6. The output shaft of the servo motor 12 passes through the mounting platform 6 and is fixedly connected to the central gear 11. The worktable 9 is connected to an inspection component for detecting torque.

[0024] First, the servo motor 12 is started, driving the central gear 11 to rotate. Then, the driven gear 10, which meshes with the central gear 11, starts to rotate. The driven gear 10 drives the driving bevel gear 8 to rotate via the rotating rod 7, which in turn drives the driven bevel gear 5 to rotate. Then, the threaded rod 4 starts to rotate. Under the action of the slide groove 2 and the slide bar, the fixture 3 moves along the direction of the slide groove 2. Under the combined action of multiple fixtures 3, when the worktable 9 delivers the screw to the closing position of the fixture 3, the screw to be tested is tightened. When the driven gear 10 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate, because the rotating rod 7 has some threads, the worktable 9, which is threaded, will move vertically downward along the rotating rod 7, delivering the screw to be tested to the closing position of the fixture 3. Because the testing process has a requirement for the clamping position, the distance from the bottom of the screw cap to the surface of the fixture 3 needs to be 3 mm. Because the thread is of fixed length, the worktable 9 will stop moving after moving to the designated position, without affecting the continued movement of the fixture 3.

[0025] The inspection components include a testing platform 13 fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the workbench 9, a torque sensor 14 fixedly mounted on the surface of the testing platform 13, a testing shaft 15 horizontally rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the testing platform 13, and a clamping connector 16 fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the testing shaft 15, to which a screw to be tested is connected. The workbench 9 has a working cavity inside, and a torque motor is fixedly mounted inside the working cavity. The output shaft of the torque motor is fixedly connected to the testing shaft 15.

[0026] Once the screw to be tested is clamped by the fixture 3, the torque motor is started, and the detection shaft 15 will apply torque to the screw to be tested through the clamp connector 16. The torque value at this time can then be obtained through the torque sensor 14.

[0027] The screw to be tested includes a nut part 17. The upper surface of the nut part 17 has a slot that matches the snap fastener 16. The lower surface of the nut part 17 has a screw part 18 fixedly installed. Both the surface of the nut part 17 and the surface of the screw part 18 have working holes. The snap fastener 16 is made of magnet, and the nut part 17 is made of ferritic stainless steel SUS430, which has a certain degree of weak magnetism.

[0028] During testing, insert the connector 16 into the slot of the nut part 17 of the screw to be tested. The magnetic attraction effect generated by the connector 16 on the nut part 17 can hold it in place, which is convenient for subsequent testing.

[0029] In this invention, the servo motor 12 is started, which drives the central gear 11 to rotate. This drives the driven gear 10, which is meshed with the central gear 11, to rotate. The driven gear 10 drives the driving bevel gear 8 to rotate via the rotating rod 7, which in turn drives the driven bevel gear 5 to rotate. Then, the threaded rod 4 starts to rotate. Under the action of the slide groove 2 and the slide bar, the clamp 3 moves along the direction of the slide groove 2. At the same time, the worktable 9 on the rotating rod 7 also starts to move downward. Because the thread on the rotating rod 7 is a fixed distance, the worktable 9 will stop after moving to the specified distance. Finally, under the combined action of multiple clamps 3, when the worktable 9 delivers the screw to the clamp 3 closing position, the screw that needs to be tested is tightened. No manual adjustment is required, which increases work efficiency and reduces the error that may occur during adjustment.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
