[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0025] The locking mechanism and locking system provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The locking mechanism disclosed in this application includes a locking component 100 and a pressing component 200. The locking component 100 is used to lock the component S2 to be locked, and the pressing component 200 is used to press against the vibration of other components caused by the component S2 to be locked during the locking process.

[0027] Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, the locking component 100 can be an electric screwdriver. The locking component 100 includes a locking body 110 and a rotating locking element 120, which are rotatably connected. The rotating locking element 120 is used to connect the component S2 to be locked. Optionally, the rotating locking element 120 can connect the component S2 to be locked by adsorption or other means. The rotating locking element 120 can rotate relative to the locking body 110 to lock the component S2 to the product S. The rotating locking element 120 can be a square column structure, a cylindrical structure, etc. The specific structure of the rotating locking element 120 is not limited in this application embodiment. Optionally, the rotating locking element 120 can be provided with a groove, and the groove wall surface of the groove cooperates with the component S2 to be locked. Further optionally, the component S2 to be locked can be a nut, and in this case, the rotating locking element 120 is provided with a hexagonal groove that matches the shape of the nut.

[0028] Optionally, the rotating locking member 120 and the locking body 110 are rotatably connected via ball bearings. Along the extending direction of the locking member 100, the first end of the rotating locking member 120 extends into the locking body 110. Both the inner wall of the locking body 110 and the first end of the rotating locking member 120 are provided with limiting grooves. A portion of the ball bearing extends into the limiting groove of the locking body 110, and the other portion extends into the limiting groove of the rotating locking member 120, thereby enabling the rotating locking member 120 to rotate relative to the locking body 110. Of course, the rotating locking member 120 and the locking body 110 can also be rotatably connected in other ways.

[0029] Product S includes a vibrating component S1, which can be, but is not limited to, a wire harness terminal. A pressing member 200 is connected to the locking body 110. When the locking member 120 is rotated to lock the component S2 to be locked, the pressing member 200 presses against the vibrating component S1. The pressing member 200 can be a sheet-like structure, a block-like structure, etc., specifically a square column-like structure, a cylindrical structure, etc. This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the pressing member 200. Optionally, the pressing member 200 and the locking body 110 can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, etc., or they can be indirectly connected by other components. In summary, when the locking member 100 locks the component S2 to be locked, the pressing member 200 can press against the vibrating component S1 to prevent the vibrating component S1 from vibrating continuously.

[0030] Of course, the locking component 100 can also be a component other than an electric screwdriver, and the component to be locked S2 can also be a component other than a nut. The component that causes vibration is not limited to the wire harness terminal.

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism is equipped with a pressing member 200. During the process of locking the locking member 100 locking the piece S2 to be locked, the pressing member 200 can press against the vibrating member S1 to prevent the vibrating member S1 from vibrating during the conveying of the product S. This avoids the vibration of the vibrating member S1 from affecting the locking effect of the piece S2 to be locked due to the vibration of the vibrating member S1, which is conducive to improving the locking effect, shortening the production cycle, and improving production efficiency.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking mechanism also includes a first lifting mechanism 300, which is connected to the locking body 110, and the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 is connected to the pressing member 200. The first lifting mechanism 300 can drive the pressing member 200 to rise and fall relative to the locking component 100.

[0033] Optionally, the first lifting mechanism 300 can be a component that can generate linear displacement, such as a cylinder, electric cylinder, or linear module. The first lifting mechanism 300 can drive the pressing member 200 to rise and fall relative to the locking member 100. The housing of the first lifting mechanism 300 and the locking body 110 can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, bolting, or other methods. The position of the housing of the first lifting mechanism 300 relative to the locking member 100 is fixed. The lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 can be fixedly connected to the pressing member 200 by welding, bonding, bolting, or other methods, so that the lifting end 310 drives the pressing member 200 to rise and fall. Of course, the two can also be indirectly connected by other components.

[0034] It should be noted that the lifting direction of the first lifting mechanism 300 is the same as the extension direction of the locking component 100. That is, the pressing member 200 can move relative to the locking component 100 along the extension direction of the locking component 100.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 300 drives the pressing member 200 to move up and down relative to the locking member 100, which helps the pressing member 200 to move closer to the vibrating member S1 and press against the vibrating member S1, increasing the pressing force of the pressing member 200 on the vibrating member S1, further preventing the vibrating member S1 from vibrating, and further improving the locking effect of the member to be locked S2.

[0036] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking mechanism may not have the first lifting mechanism 300, and the pressing member 200 may be directly connected to the locking body 110.

[0037] In the scheme of this application, reference is made to Figures 1-3 As shown, the locking mechanism also includes a connecting rod 420, which is located between the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 and the pressing member 200. The connecting rod 420 extends along the movement direction of the lifting end 310, and the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 is connected to the pressing member 200 through the connecting rod 420. Optionally, the first end of the connecting rod 420 is connected to the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 by welding, bonding, or other means, and the second end of the connecting rod 420 can be directly connected to the pressing member 200 by welding, bonding, or other means. Alternatively, the second end of the connecting rod 420 can be indirectly connected to the pressing member 200 through other components.

[0038] With this configuration, the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 and the pressing member 200 are indirectly connected by the connecting rod 420. Moreover, the connecting rod 420 has a certain length, which allows the pressing member 200 to be relatively far away from the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300. That is, the pressing member 200 is in a lower position, which is more conducive to the pressing member 200 pressing against the vibrating component S1 smoothly, which helps to shorten the movement stroke of the lifting end 310 and improve work efficiency.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the locking mechanism further includes a guide mechanism 500, which is connected to the connecting rod 420 to guide the movement direction of the connecting rod 420, thereby guiding the movement direction of the pressing member 200. Optionally, the guide mechanism 500 may include a guide member with a guide groove extending along the direction of the locking member 100. A portion of the connecting rod 420 extends into the guide groove, and the connecting rod 420 is guided and engaged with the guide groove.

[0040] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism is equipped with a guide mechanism 500. The guide mechanism 500 restricts the movement direction of the pressing member 200, which helps to ensure the accuracy of the movement direction of the pressing member 200 and prevents the movement direction of the pressing member 200 from deviating.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking mechanism may not have a guide mechanism 500, and the movement direction of the pressing member 200 may be accurately guaranteed by accurately setting the movement direction of the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300.

[0042] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the locking mechanism also includes a first connecting plate 410. The locking body 110 and the first lifting mechanism 300 are respectively connected to the first connecting plate 410. Optionally, the locking body 110 and the first lifting mechanism 300 are arranged side by side, and the first connecting plate 410 is connected to the housings of the locking body 110 and the first lifting mechanism 300 respectively by welding, bonding, or other methods, so that the locking body 110, the first lifting mechanism 300, and the first connecting plate 410 are relatively fixed. In this way, the first connecting plate 410, as a connecting member, realizes the relative fixation of the housings of the locking body 110 and the first lifting mechanism 300.

[0043] The guide mechanism 500 includes a guide cylinder 510 and a first guide block 520. The guide cylinder 510 is connected to the first connecting plate 410. The guide cylinder 510 is located outside the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300, and the first guide block 520 is located inside the guide cylinder 510. Optionally, the extension direction of the guide cylinder 510 is the same as the extension direction of the locking component 100. The first end of the guide cylinder 510 can be connected to the first connecting plate 410 by welding, bonding or other means. At the same time, the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 extends into the guide cylinder 510.

[0044] The lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 is connected to the connecting rod 420 through the first guide block 520. That is, the lifting end 310 of the first lifting mechanism 300 is indirectly connected to the connecting rod 420. The structure of the first guide block 520 is referenced. Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the lifting end 310 and the connecting rod 420 are connected to the first guide block 520 by welding, bonding, or other methods. Furthermore, the first guide block 520 and the guide cylinder 510 are guided and engaged, with the surface of the first guide block 520 contacting the inner wall of the guide cylinder 510, and the first guide block 520 capable of moving along the extending direction of the guide cylinder 510. Optionally, both the first guide block 520 and the guide cylinder 510 can be cubic structures, or both can be cylindrical structures; of course, they can also be other shapes.

[0045] Specifically, during the operation of the first lifting mechanism 300, the lifting end 310 drives the first guide block 520 to slide along the inner wall surface of the guide cylinder 510. At the same time, the first guide block 520 drives the pressing member 200 to move through the connecting rod 420.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 420 is guided by the cooperating guide cylinder 510 and the first guide block 520. The contact area between the first guide block 520 and the guide cylinder 510 is large, so the guide cylinder 510 guides the first guide block 520 as a whole, which is more conducive to the accurate movement direction of the first guide block 520 and also more conducive to the accurate movement direction of the pressing member 200, avoiding the deviation of the movement direction of the pressing member 200.

[0047] In the scheme of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, the locking mechanism also includes a second connecting plate 430, which is located between the connecting rod 420 and the pressing member 200. The connecting rod 420 is connected to the pressing member 200 through the second connecting plate 430, thus indirectly connecting the connecting rod 420 and the pressing member 200. Optionally, the second end of the connecting rod 420 and the second connecting plate 430, and the second connecting plate 430 and the pressing member 200, can be connected by welding, bonding, or other methods. Moreover, the pressing member 200 is located on the side of the connecting rod 420 closer to the locking component 100.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting the second connecting plate 430, the connection positions of the pressing member 200 and the connecting rod 420 can be staggered, so that the pressing member 200 is closer to the locking member 100 relative to the connecting rod 420. Therefore, when the locking member S2 is close to the vibrating member S1, the pressing member 200 can smoothly press against the vibrating member S1. Moreover, it avoids the pressing member 200 from being directly connected to the connecting rod 420, which would cause the pressing member 200 to interfere with the operation of other components.

[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking mechanism may not have the second connecting plate 430, and the connecting rod 420 may be directly connected to the pressing member 200.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the connecting rod 420 is movably connected to the second connecting plate 430. The locking mechanism also includes an adjusting member connected to the second connecting plate 430. The position of the second connecting plate 430 relative to the connecting rod 420 can be adjusted by the adjusting member, thereby adjusting the position of the pressing member 200 relative to the connecting rod 420.

[0051] Optionally, the connecting rod 420 can be slidably connected to the second connecting plate 430 via a slide rail and a slider. The adjusting component can be a telescopic cylinder, with one end connected to the connecting rod 420 and the other end connected to the second connecting plate 430. When the telescopic cylinder extends or retracts, it adjusts the relative position of the connecting rod 420 and the second connecting plate 430. Of course, the connecting rod 420 can also be rotatably connected to the second connecting plate 430, and the adjusting component can adjust the rotational position of the second connecting plate 430 relative to the connecting rod 420.

[0052] In this embodiment, the relative position of the connecting rod 420 and the second connecting plate 430 is adjusted by the adjusting member, and then the relative position of the pressing member 200 and the connecting rod 420 is adjusted as needed, so that the pressing member 200 and the vibration component S1 are aligned, and the pressing member 200 can press the vibration component S1 smoothly.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking mechanism may not have an adjusting component, and the connecting rod 420 and the second connecting plate 430 may be fixedly connected by welding, bonding or other methods.

[0054] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting plate 430 has a first mounting port 431 and an opening 432 that are connected. The second end of the connecting rod 420 extends into the first mounting port 431. The two side walls opposite to the opening 432 have a connecting hole 433 and a threaded hole 434. The connecting hole 433 does not have an internal thread, and the connecting hole 433 and the threaded hole 434 are opposite to and connected to each other. Optionally, the first mounting port 431 can be a circular port or a square port, and the connecting rod 420 can be a round rod, a square rod, etc. The shape of the first mounting port 431 can be the same as the cross-sectional shape of the connecting rod 420. The adjusting component includes a fastener 600, which can be a bolt, screw, or other fastener with external threads. The fastener 600 passes through the connecting hole 433 and extends into the threaded hole 434.

[0055] Specifically, when the fastener 600 is in the first tightened state, the length of the part of the fastener 600 extending into the threaded hole 434 is relatively large, the size of the opening 432 in the axial direction of the connecting hole 433 is relatively small, and the distance between the two opposite side walls of the opening 432 is relatively close. The fastener 600 is tightened, and at this time the second connecting plate 430 clamps the connecting rod 420. The second connecting plate 430 and the connecting rod 420 are relatively fixed, and the second connecting plate 430 cannot move relative to the connecting rod 420.

[0056] When the fastener 600 is in the second tightened state, the length of the portion of the fastener 600 extending into the threaded hole 434 is relatively small, or the fastener 600 is disengaged from the threaded hole 434, and the opening 432 has a larger axial dimension in the connecting hole 433, with a greater distance between the two opposite side walls of the opening 432. In this case, the second connecting plate 430 is not clamped to the connecting rod 420, so the second connecting plate 430 can move relative to the connecting rod 420, and the connecting rod 420 can also disengage from the first mounting port 431. Optionally, when the second connecting plate 430 is movable relative to the connecting rod 420, the second connecting plate 430 can rotate around the axis of the connecting rod 420 to adjust its rotational position, and the second connecting plate 430 can also move along the axial direction of the connecting rod 420 to adjust its height.

[0057] Among them, the tightening force of fastener 600 in the first tightening state is greater than the tightening force in the second tightening state.

[0058] The above structure enables the second connecting plate 430 to move relative to the connecting rod 420. This allows the second connecting plate 430 to rotate relative to the connecting rod 420 to adjust the horizontal position of the pressing member 200, and also allows the second connecting plate 430 to move relative to the connecting rod 420 to adjust the height position of the pressing member 200. This increases the position adjustment range of the pressing member 200 and makes it more conducive to the accurate alignment of the pressing member 200 with the vibrating component S1.

[0059] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting plate 430 is also provided with a second mounting port 435, and the pressing member 200 is installed at the second mounting port 435. Further optionally, the pressing member 200 can be connected to the second connecting plate 430 by threaded fasteners such as bolts and screws passing through the second mounting port 435 and extending into the pressing member 200.

[0060] In the scheme of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking mechanism also includes a second lifting mechanism 700. The lifting end 310 of the second lifting mechanism 700 is connected to the locking body 110. The second lifting mechanism 700 can drive the locking body 110 and the pressing member 200 to lift.

[0061] Optionally, the second lifting mechanism 700 can be a component that can generate linear displacement, such as a cylinder, electric cylinder, or linear module. The second lifting mechanism 700 can drive the locking component 100 and the pressing component 200 to rise and fall. The housing of the second lifting mechanism 700 can be fixed to other equipment. The drive end of the second lifting mechanism 700 can be connected to the locking body 110 by welding, bonding, bolting, or other means. The pressing component 200 is connected to the locking body 110 through the first connecting plate 410. Therefore, when the locking component 100 moves, it also drives the pressing component 200 to move.

[0062] It should be noted that the lifting direction of the second lifting mechanism 700 is the same as the extension direction of the locking component 100, that is, the locking component 100 can move along its own extension direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second lifting mechanism 700 drives the locking component 100 and the pressing component 200 to rise and fall, which facilitates the locking component 100 and the pressing component 200 to smoothly approach the product S. Furthermore, when the locking component 120 is rotated to align with the product S2 to be locked, rotating the locking component 120 causes the product S2 to rotate and move simultaneously, which facilitates the smooth installation of the product S2 to be locked.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking mechanism may not have a second lifting mechanism 700. Instead, a power component other than the locking mechanism or manual force can be used to drive the locking body 110 closer to the component to be locked 100 for the locking process.

[0065] In a further embodiment, the locking mechanism may further include a first detection element for detecting the state of the component S2 to be locked. The first detection element is communicatively connected to a first lifting mechanism 300 and a second lifting mechanism 700, which operate according to the state of the component S2. Optionally, the first detection element may be a camera, which captures an image of the component S2 to identify its state. The locking mechanism may further include a controller, with the first detection element, the first lifting mechanism 300, and the second lifting mechanism 700 communicatively connected to the controller. The controller controls the first lifting mechanism 300 and the second lifting mechanism 700 based on the state of the component S2 detected by the first detection element.

[0066] Optionally, the component to be locked, S2, is a nut. The first detection element can detect whether there are problems such as nut misalignment or missing parts at the position where the rotating locking component 120 is used to connect the nut. If there are no such problems, it means that the nut is in normal condition. At this time, the first lifting mechanism 300 and the second lifting mechanism 700 can work normally to carry out the locking process. If the nut is in abnormal condition, the first lifting mechanism 300 and the second lifting mechanism 700 stop working to avoid locking the problematic nut.

[0067] In a further embodiment, the locking mechanism may further include a second detection element for identifying the locking position of product S. The second detection element is communicatively connected to the second lifting mechanism 700, which operates according to the detection information from the second detection element to ensure that the locking component 100 connected to the rotating locking member 120 is accurately locked to the locking position. Optionally, the first detection element may be a camera, which captures an image of product S to identify the locking position. The locking mechanism may further include a controller, with the second detection element and the second lifting mechanism 700 communicatively connected to the controller. The controller controls the second lifting mechanism 700 according to the locking position identified by the second detection element.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the locking mechanism also includes a guide rail 810 and a second guide block 820. The guide rail 810 extends along the movement direction of the drive end of the second lifting mechanism 700, and the second guide block 820 is connected to the drive end of the second lifting mechanism 700, and the second guide block 820 is guided and engaged with the guide rail 810. Thus, the guide rail 810 guides the movement direction of the second guide block 820, thereby guiding the movement direction of the locking component 100 and the pressing member 200, ensuring the accuracy of the movement direction of the locking component 100 and the pressing member 200.

[0069] Based on the locking mechanism disclosed in this application, this application also discloses a locking system. The locking system includes a transfer robot and the aforementioned locking mechanism. The transfer robot is connected to the locking body 110 to transfer the locking mechanism. Optionally, the transfer robot can be an industrial robot or other type of robot, as long as it can drive the locking mechanism to move. The transfer robot and the locking body 110 can be connected by welding, bonding, or other methods.

[0070] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism of the locking system is equipped with a pressing member 200. During the process of locking the locking component 100 to lock the component S2, the pressing member 200 can press against the vibrating component S1, so as to prevent the vibrating component S1 from vibrating during the conveying of the product S. Therefore, the vibration of the vibrating component S1 will affect the locking effect of the component S2, which is conducive to improving the locking effect, shortening the production cycle, and improving production efficiency.

[0071] In summary, the locking component 100 can be an electric screwdriver, the component S2 to be locked can be a nut, and the nut is locked using the electric screwdriver. The vibrating component S1 is a wire harness terminal. Typically, product S includes multiple nuts and wire harness terminals, requiring one nut to secure the wire harness terminal. In the industrial production line, a conveyor track transports product S, while a nut feeder provides nuts. A transfer robot drives the locking mechanism to connect the rotating locking component 120 with the nut provided by the nut feeder, transferring the nut to the locking position on product S. Further, the locking component 100 operates, rotating the locking component 120 relative to the locking body 110. The first lifting mechanism 300 and the second lifting mechanism 700 operate, causing the locking component 100 and the pressing component 200 to descend. Simultaneously, the locking component 100 locks the nut, while the pressing component 200 presses against the wire harness terminal, preventing vibration and warping of the wire harness terminal.

[0072] After the locking process is completed, the first lifting mechanism 300 and the second lifting mechanism 700 continue to work, causing the locking component 100 and the pressing component 200 to rise. The transfer robot then drives the locking mechanism to pick up other nuts to other locking positions of product S (which may be the positions where the wire harness terminals are located) for the next round of locking process.

[0073] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
