Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bolt and nut testing devices, and more specifically, to a bolt and nut matching accuracy testing device. Background Technology

[0002] A bolt is a mechanical part, a cylindrical threaded fastener that is fitted with a nut. It is a type of fastener consisting of a head and a threaded shank. It needs to be used with a nut to fasten two parts with through holes. This type of connection is called a bolted connection. If the nut is unscrewed from the bolt, the two parts can be separated. During the production of bolts and nuts, it is usually necessary to test the matching accuracy between the bolt and the nut.

[0003] Existing methods for testing bolt and nut matching accuracy involve manually rotating the nut to fit its threads onto the bolt, then manually checking the smoothness of the thread engagement to assess the matching accuracy. However, this method is inefficient and reduces the overall testing efficiency for bolt and nut matching accuracy. Therefore, we propose a bolt and nut matching accuracy testing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a bolt and nut matching accuracy testing device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A bolt and nut matching accuracy testing device includes a base with columns at each of its four corners. A control console is fixedly installed on one side of the base. Two symmetrically distributed grooves are formed at the top of the base, each containing a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt. Multiple sets of limit frames arranged in a linear array are provided on the first conveyor belt, with at least five limit frames in each set arranged in a linear array. A clamping assembly is provided at the top of the base. A scanner is also provided at the top of the base. A support plate with an inverted "L" shaped cross-section is fixedly installed at the top of the base. A support box is provided at the bottom of the horizontal section of the support plate. A support block is slidably installed within the support box, with its top end sliding through the support box. A first cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support block. A connecting frame is provided at the piston shaft end of the first cylinder. A mounting plate is provided at the bottom of the connecting frame. A mounting groove is formed at the top of the mounting plate. A testing assembly is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate. A driving assembly is provided between the support block and the support box.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when using this equipment, the operator places the bolt above the base and clamps and fixes it using the clamping assembly. Then, the operator places the nut inside the limiting frame installed on the first conveyor belt. The limiting frame serves to restrict and position the nut. After the nut is placed, it is conveyed towards the bolt via the first conveyor belt. Then, the drive assembly drives the support block to slide within the support box. The support block, carrying the testing assembly, moves above the nut. The testing assembly removes the nut and moves it onto the bolt. The testing assembly drives the nut to rotate and fit onto the bolt sidewall, thus measuring the smoothness between the nut and bolt. This serves to detect the matching accuracy between the nut and bolt. A scanner is installed above the base to detect and scan the thread smoothness between the nut and bolt. After a batch of nuts has been tested, the drive assembly moves the nuts to the second conveyor belt, where they fall and are conveyed away. The above operation can then be repeated, which helps to improve the efficiency of detecting the matching accuracy between nuts and bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes two movable plates slidably mounted on the top of the base. Multiple clamping frames arranged in a linear array are fixedly installed between the opposite sides of the two movable plates. Two sets of symmetrically distributed second cylinders are fixedly installed at the top of the base. There are two second cylinders in the same set, and the piston shaft ends of the two second cylinders in the same set are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the movable plate on the same side.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff places the bolts on the base, and then drives the moving plate and clamping frame on the same side to move through the second cylinder. The cooperation of the two sets of clamping frames can clamp and fix the bolts, which is convenient for subsequent testing.

[0009] Furthermore, the test assembly includes multiple mounting cylinders fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. Each mounting cylinder has a transparent tube rotatably connected to its bottom end. Each transparent tube has a torque wrench fixedly installed at its bottom end. Each torque wrench has an anti-slip pad inside. Each transparent tube has a driven gear fixedly sleeved on its top sidewall. Multiple support blocks arranged in a linear array are fixedly installed in the mounting groove. Each support block has a first reduction motor at its bottom end. Each first reduction motor has a drive gear fixedly sleeved on its output shaft sidewall. The drive gear meshes with the driven gear on the same side. Each mounting cylinder has a discharge assembly.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the bolt is clamped, the worker sets a constant value for the torque wrench. The support block moves the torque wrench above the first conveyor belt. The first cylinder drives the connecting frame and mounting plate to descend synchronously. The mounting plate, along with the mounting cylinder, transparent tube, and torque wrench, descends synchronously. The torque wrench is then placed against the side wall of the nut on the same side, thus removing the nut. The torque wrench has an anti-slip pad inside, which helps improve the stability of the engagement between the nut and the torque wrench. After the nut is removed, the support block drives the torque wrench to move the nut above the bolt on the same side. Then, the first cylinder drives the nut to descend continuously, and the first reduction motor drives the drive gear on the same side to rotate, driving... The gear drives the driven gear on the same side to rotate, the driven gear drives the transparent tube on the same side to rotate, and the transparent tube drives the torque wrench and the nut on the same side to rotate, thereby engaging the nut and bolt. The torque generated by the torque wrench is used to test the smoothness of the bolt and nut engagement. The operator can electrically connect the warning light in the existing technology to the torque wrench. When a blockage is felt when the nut and bolt are engaged, the value generated by the torque wrench will exceed the constant value, and the warning light will sound an alarm, allowing the operator to notice in time and remove the nut. After the nut is tested, the support block drives the nut to move above the second conveyor belt, and then the unloading assembly pushes the torque wrench down onto the second conveyor belt, thus achieving the unloading function.

[0011] Furthermore, the unloading assembly includes a telescopic rod fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the mounting cylinder, and a push block is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each telescopic rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic rod drives the push block on the same side, and the push block pushes the nut, so that the nut push torque wrench can be dropped onto the second conveyor belt to achieve the unloading effect.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a screw rotatably mounted in a support box, a support block sleeved on the side wall of the screw, an mounting box fixedly mounted on one side of the support box, a second geared motor fixedly mounted inside the mounting box, one end of the screw penetrating the support box and extending into the mounting box, and the end of the screw penetrating the mounting box being fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the second geared motor.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the screw is driven to rotate by the second reduction motor, and the screw drives the support block to move inside the support box. The torque wrench is then moved by the support block, which can adjust the position of the torque wrench and facilitate material handling.

[0015] Furthermore, sliders are fixedly installed on both sides of the support block, and the inner wall of the support box is provided with a groove that matches the slider.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support block slides inside the support box, the support block slides with the slider in the same side groove. The cooperation between the slider and the groove helps to maintain the stability of the support block's sliding.

[0017] Furthermore, mounting seats are fixedly installed on both sides of the base, and the two mounting seats are located on both sides of the second conveyor belt. The top of each of the two mounting seats is equipped with a robotic arm, and the end of each of the two robotic arms is equipped with a gripper.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, unqualified nuts are detected by scanning with a scanner. The nuts are placed on the second conveyor belt, and the grippers on the same side can be driven by a robotic arm to pick out the unqualified nuts, thus achieving the sorting function.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] (1) In this utility model, the clamping component is used to clamp and fix the bolts. The test component is used to cooperate with multiple torque wrenches, transparent tubes, mounting cylinders, second reduction motors, drive gears and driven gears to facilitate the simultaneous testing of multiple bolts and nuts, which is beneficial to improving the testing efficiency of the equipment.

[0021] (2) In this utility model, by setting up the unloading component, after some nuts are detected, the drive component drives the support block to move the nuts to the top of the second conveyor belt, and then drives the push block on the same side to descend by the telescopic rod. The push block pushes the nuts on the same side, so that the nuts are released from the torque wrench, thus achieving the unloading function. Attached Figure Description

A control console is fixedly installed on one side of the base 1. Two symmetrically distributed grooves 2 are formed at the top of the base 1. A first conveyor belt 3 and a second conveyor belt 14 are respectively installed in the two grooves 2. Multiple sets of limit frames 4 arranged in a linear array are provided on the first conveyor belt 3, with at least five limit frames 4 in each set arranged in a linear array. A clamping assembly is provided at the top of the base 1, including two movable plates 23 slidably mounted on the top of the base 1. Multiple clamping frames 24 arranged in a linear array are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the moving plate 23. Two sets of second cylinders 22 arranged symmetrically are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. There are two second cylinders 22 in the same set. The piston shaft ends of the two second cylinders 22 in the same set are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the moving plate 23 on the same side. When the equipment is in use, the operator places the bolt on the base 1, and then drives the moving plate 23 and clamping frames 24 on the same side to move through the second cylinders 22. Through the cooperation of the two sets of clamping frames 24, the bolt can be clamped and fixed, which is convenient for subsequent testing.

[0035] A scanner 16 is mounted on the top of the base 1. A support plate 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The support plate 10 has an inverted "L" shaped cross-section. A support box 9 is located at the bottom of the horizontal section of the support plate 10. A support block 26 is slidably installed inside the support box 9. The top of the support block 26 slides through the support box 9. A first cylinder 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support block 26. A connecting bracket 7 is located at the piston shaft end of the first cylinder 8. A mounting plate 17 is located at the bottom of the connecting bracket 7. A mounting groove 31 is opened at the top of the mounting plate 17. A test assembly is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 17. The test assembly includes multiple...

The drive gear 19 meshes with the driven gear 20 on the same side.

[0036] After the bolt is clamped, the worker sets the torque wrench 5 to a constant value. The support block 26 moves the torque wrench 5 above the first conveyor belt 3. The first cylinder 8 drives the connecting frame 7 and the mounting plate 17 to descend synchronously. The mounting plate 17, along with the mounting cylinder 21, the transparent tube 6, and the torque wrench 5, descends synchronously. The torque wrench 5 is then fitted onto the side wall of the nut on the same side, allowing the nut to be removed. The torque wrench 5 has an anti-slip pad inside, which helps improve the stability of the engagement between the nut and the torque wrench 5. After the nut is removed, the support block 26 drives the torque wrench 5 to move the nut above the bolt on the same side, and then the first cylinder 8 drives... The moving nut descends continuously and drives the same-side drive gear 19 to rotate via the first reduction motor 18. The drive gear 19 drives the same-side driven gear 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the same-side transparent tube 6 to rotate. The transparent tube 6 drives the same-side torque wrench 5 and the same group of nuts to rotate, thereby engaging the nut and bolt. The torque generated by the torque wrench 5 is used to detect the smoothness of the bolt and nut engagement. The operator can electrically connect the warning light in the existing technology to the torque wrench 5. When a blocking sensation occurs when the nut and bolt are engaged, the value generated by the torque wrench 5 will exceed a constant value, and the warning light will sound an alarm, allowing the operator to notice in time and remove the nut.
