[0019] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A stereoscopic view from another perspective. Detailed Implementation

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a screw-driving device, which includes a workbench 1a, a linear moving mechanism 2, an electric screwdriver 3, and several screw-driving stations. The workbench 1a is provided with a suspended support base 1b. The linear moving mechanism 2 is set on the support base 1b. After the electric screwdriver 3 is installed on the output end of the linear moving mechanism 2, it is suspended on the workbench 1a. The screw-driving stations are set on the workbench 1a.

[0021] Each screw-tightening station includes a screw feeding mechanism and a positioning fixture. The linear moving mechanism 2 has a multi-dimensional moving direction and is used to transport the electric screwdriver 3 back and forth between the screw feeding mechanism and the positioning fixture 4. The screw feeding mechanism includes a feeding tray 51 and a feeding platform 52. The feeding platform 52 is provided with a groove adapted to the size of the feeding tray 51. The feeding tray 51 is located in the groove and is rotatably connected to the feeding platform 52. The edge of the feeding tray 51 is provided with an arc-shaped positioning groove 51a adapted to the screw 14, which is used to position the screw 14 and feed the screw 14 into the area that contacts the electric screwdriver 3.

[0022] This utility model consists of a screw feeding mechanism, a positioning fixture 4, an electric screwdriver 3, and a linear moving mechanism 2. This composition realizes the means of mechanically replacing manual screw tightening 14. In terms of efficiency, the uninterrupted operation of the mechanical equipment results in higher production capacity. At the same time, the use of the electric screwdriver 3 to tighten the screw 14 and the fixed number of turns effectively ensure the firmness between the product 13 and the screw 14.

[0023] The screw 14 feeding method of this utility model adopts a combination of feeding tray 51 and groove, so that screw 14 is attached between arc-shaped positioning groove 51a and inner wall of groove. This feeding method limits the feeding to only one screw 14 at a time, and at the same time positions the screw 14 to ensure that the threaded joint on the screw 14 corresponds to the electric screwdriver 3.

[0024] It should be noted that the workbench 1a is equipped with a rotating mechanism, and the output end of the rotating mechanism is connected to the feeding tray 51.

[0025] Furthermore, the screw feeding mechanism includes a housing 61, a vibratory feeder, and a feeding track 62. The vibratory feeder is disposed inside the housing 61, one end of the feeding track 62 is connected to the feeding port of the vibratory feeder, and the other end of the feeding track 62 is connected to the side wall of the groove. For a headed component like the screw 14, it has a specific orientation. The vibratory feeder can ensure that the screw 14 is always in the correct orientation when it is fed into the feeding track 62, according to the shape and size of the screw 14.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes an electric screwdriver height adjustment mechanism disposed on the output end of the linear movement mechanism 2. The electric screwdriver height adjustment mechanism includes a height adjustment cylinder 71, a first mounting base 72, a second mounting base 73, and a sliding assembly 74. The first mounting base 72 is connected to the output end of the linear movement mechanism 2. The height adjustment cylinder 71 and the sliding assembly 74 are disposed on the first mounting base 72. The second mounting base 73 is connected to the movable end of the sliding assembly 74. The electric screwdriver 3 is fixed on the second mounting base 73. The piston rod of the height adjustment cylinder 71 is connected to the second mounting base 73. This design has a more stable effect, does not require additional auxiliary components such as guide rods, and has a smaller number of parts in the equipment.

[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a negative pressure device, which includes a feeding tube 81. The feeding tube 81 is mounted on the second mounting base 73 via a third mounting base 82. The feeding tube 81 has openings at both ends, and its internal hollow structure allows the two ends to communicate with each other. The feeding tube 81 is fitted onto the bit of the electric screwdriver 3. The side of the feeding tube 81 has a negative pressure port 81a, which is connected to an external vacuum device. The purpose is to improve the stability of the connection between the screw 14 and the bit. The magnetic material on the bit is gradually consumed with the increase of the number of uses. The magnetic force alone cannot satisfy the transfer of the screw 14 from the screw feeding mechanism to the positioning fixture 4. Only with the help of negative pressure can the problem of the screw 14 not being able to reach the product 13 smoothly be solved.

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a limit switch 9 and a positioning piece 10. The positioning piece 10 is disposed on the second mounting base 73, and the limit switch 9 is disposed on the first mounting base 72 and on the movement trajectory of the second mounting base 73. The limit switch 9 is a contact sensor. When the positioning piece 10 contacts the limit switch 9, the height adjustment cylinder 71 stops pushing the second mounting base 73.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning fixture 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 41 distributed around its surface, and the positioning posts 41 form a positioning space that constrains the product 13; the product 13 is provided with arc-shaped holes E around its perimeter. After the product 13 is placed on the positioning fixture 4, the positioning posts 41 and the arc-shaped holes E form a mutually cooperating relationship, thereby fixing the position of the product 13.

[0030] Furthermore, the positioning fixture 4 is provided with a support block 12 that suspends the screw 14 hole of the product 13 in the air. This is to prevent the screw 14 from making rigid contact with the positioning fixture 4 after passing through the screw 14 hole.

[0031] Electric screwdriver 3, linear moving mechanism 2, and vibratory feeder are all existing technologies, and their specific structures will not be described in detail.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
