Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw fastening technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency screw fastening device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern society, solid-state drives (SSDs) have been designed to improve computing speed. SSDs are typically fixed inside the host computer using a drive bracket, and the SSD and drive bracket are secured with screws. Screw-fastening devices are used to tighten the screws on the SSD and drive bracket. When the screws are located on the side of the SSD, a pressing component is usually installed on the device to press the drive firmly against the platform, preventing it from falling when flipped to its side. However, placing or removing the drive from the platform is inconvenient due to the pressing component directly above it, reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, operators are prone to bumping into the pressing component, raising safety concerns. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an efficient screw-fastening device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an efficient screw fastening device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A high-efficiency screw fastening device includes a worktable, an X-axis drive assembly, a clamping and tilting assembly, a first mounting frame, a second mounting frame, a screw feeder, a Y-axis drive assembly, and a fastening robot. The X-axis drive assembly is fixed above the worktable.

The gripper components include a lifting cylinder, a transverse drive block, a longitudinal drive block, a connecting arm, and a longitudinal slide. The drive arm and pressure block are mounted on a rotating platform. The upper end of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the rotating platform with its power output end facing downwards. The transverse drive block is fixed to the power output end of the gripper cylinder. The left end of the longitudinal drive block is fixed to the power output end of the lifting cylinder. The lower end of the connecting arm is hinged to the right end of the longitudinal drive block. The longitudinal slide is fixed to the inner side of the lower end of the connecting arm. The outer side of the drive arm is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide and its upper end is hinged to the transverse drive block. The pressure block is fixed to the inner side of the upper end of the connecting arm and corresponds to the top of the rotating platform. Two sets of gripper components are symmetrically arranged about the front and rear of the gripper cylinder. The first mounting frame is fixed to the worktable. Multiple sets of screw feeders are arranged and fixed on the first mounting frame. The second mounting frame is mounted on the X-axis drive assembly and the first mounting frame. The Y-axis drive assembly is fixed on the second mounting frame. The locking robot is fixed to the power output end of the Y-axis drive assembly.

[0006] Further description of this utility model: The locking robot includes a second mounting plate, a lifting drive assembly, a first movable plate, a first linkage block, a Z-axis slide, a second movable plate, a second linkage block, a linkage gear, a synchronous belt, a screw locking component, and a photographic positioning component. The second mounting plate is fixed to the power output end of the Y-axis drive assembly, the lifting drive assembly is fixed to the second mounting plate, the first movable plate is fixed to the power output end of the lifting drive assembly, the first linkage block is fixed to the first movable plate, the Z-axis slide is fixed to the second mounting plate and corresponds to one side of the first movable plate, one end of the second linkage block is fixed to the second movable plate, and the other end is slidably connected to the Z-axis slide, the linkage gear is rotatably mounted on the second mounting plate, two sets of linkage gears are provided and respectively correspond to the upper and lower sides of the Z-axis slide, the synchronous belt is wound around the two sets of linkage gears, and the inner side of the synchronous belt meshes with the linkage gear, the first linkage block and the second linkage block are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the synchronous belt, and the screw locking component and the photographic positioning component are respectively fixed to the first movable plate and the second movable plate.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Before placing the hard drive, the gripper cylinder drives the horizontal drive block to extend outward, thereby driving the connecting arm to rotate around the outer end of the vertical drive block through the drive swing arm. At the same time, the drive swing arm and the connecting arm slide relative to each other, and the upper end of the connecting arm moves outward, so that the pressure block will not block the top of the rotating platform. After the operator places the hard drive on the rotating platform, the gripper cylinder resets, so that the pressure blocks on both sides move closer to the center and correspond to the top of the hard drive. Then, the lifting cylinder drives the vertical drive block to descend, so that the connecting arm slides down on the drive swing arm. Finally, the pressure block presses against the upper end face of the hard drive, thereby fixing the hard drive. Then, the X-axis drive assembly drives the mounting base to move to the bottom of the second mounting bracket, and the rotary motor drives the hard drive to rotate so that the end face of the screw to be fastened faces upward. The Y-axis drive assembly drives the fastening robot to grab the screw from the screw feeder and fasten the screw to the hard drive. The advantage of this design is that the upper end of the connecting arm is designed to open, so that the pressure block will not block the space above the rotating platform when it is necessary to place or remove the workpiece, which makes it easier to pick up and put down the workpiece and also avoids touching the gripper components during operation, thus improving its safety.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a high-efficiency screw fastening device includes a worktable 1, an X-axis drive assembly 2, a clamping and tilting assembly 3, a first mounting bracket 4, a second mounting bracket 5, a screw feeder 6, a Y-axis drive assembly 7, and a screw fastening robot 8. The X-axis drive assembly 2 is fixed above the worktable 1. The clamping and tilting assembly 3 includes a mounting base 31, a rotary motor 32, a rotating platform 33, a first mounting plate 34, a gripper cylinder 35, and a gripper component 36. The mounting base 31 is fixed to the power output end of the X-axis drive assembly 2. The motor 32 is fixed to one side of the mounting base 31. One side of the rotating platform 33 is fixed to the power output end of the rotating motor 32, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 31. The first mounting plate 34 is fixed below the rotating platform 33. The gripper cylinder 35 is fixed to the first mounting plate 34. Both the front and rear ends of the gripper cylinder 35 are provided with power output ends. The gripper component 36 includes a lifting cylinder 361, a transverse drive block 362, a longitudinal drive block 363, a connecting arm 364, and a longitudinal slide 365. The drive arm 366 and the pressure block 367 are connected. The upper end of the lifting cylinder 361 is fixed on the rotating platform 33 with its power output end facing downwards. The transverse drive block 362 is fixed on the power output end of the gripper cylinder 35. The left end of the longitudinal drive block 363 is fixed on the power output end of the lifting cylinder 361. The lower end of the connecting arm 364 is hinged to the right end of the longitudinal drive block 363. The longitudinal slide 365 is fixed to the inner side of the lower end of the connecting arm 364. The outer side of the drive arm 366 is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide 365, and the upper end is connected to the transverse drive block 367. The drive block 362 is hinged, the pressure block 367 is fixed on the upper inner side of the connecting arm 364 and corresponds to the top of the rotating platform 33, the gripper component 36 is symmetrically arranged in two sets about the gripper cylinder 35, the first mounting frame 4 is fixed on the worktable 1, multiple sets of screw feeders 6 are arranged and fixed on the first mounting frame 4, the second mounting frame 5 is mounted on the X-axis drive assembly 2 and the first mounting frame 4, the Y-axis drive assembly 7 is fixed on the second mounting frame 5, and the locking robot 8 is fixed on the power output end of the Y-axis drive assembly 7.

[0021] Before placing the hard drive, the gripper cylinder 35 drives the lateral drive block 362 to extend outward, thereby driving the connecting arm 364 to rotate around the outer end of the longitudinal drive block 363 via the drive swing arm 366. Simultaneously, the drive swing arm 366 and the connecting arm 364 slide relative to each other, causing the upper end of the connecting arm 364 to move outward, thus preventing the pressure block 367 from obstructing the rotary table 33. After the operator places the hard drive on the rotary table 33, the gripper cylinder 35 resets, causing the pressure blocks 367 on both sides to move towards the center and align with the hard drive. Above the disk, the lifting cylinder 361 drives the longitudinal drive block 363 to descend, causing the connecting arm 364 to slide downwards on the drive swing arm 366. Finally, the pressure block 367 presses against the upper end face of the hard disk, thus fixing the hard disk. Next, the X-axis drive assembly 2 drives the mounting base 31 to move below the second mounting bracket 5, and the rotary motor 32 drives the hard disk to rotate so that the end face of the screw to be fastened faces upwards. The Y-axis drive assembly 7 drives the fastening robot 8 to grab the screw from the screw feeder 6 and fasten the screw to the hard disk. The advantage of this design is that the upper end of the connecting arm 364 is designed to open, so that when it is necessary to place or remove the workpiece, the pressure block 367 will not obstruct the space above the rotating platform 33, which facilitates the placement and removal of workpieces and also avoids touching the gripper component 36 during operation, thus improving its safety.

[0022] The locking robot 8 includes a second mounting plate 801, a lifting drive assembly 802, a first movable plate 803, a first linkage block 804, a Z-axis slide 805, a second movable plate 806, a second linkage block 807, a linkage gear 808, a timing belt 809, a screw locking component 810, and a photographic positioning component 811. The second mounting plate 801 is fixed to the power output end of the Y-axis drive assembly 7. The lifting drive assembly 802 is fixed to the second mounting plate 801. The first movable plate 803 is fixed to the power output end of the lifting drive assembly 802. The first linkage block 804 is fixed to the first movable plate 803. The Z-axis slide 805 is fixed to the second mounting plate 801 and corresponds to... On one side of the first movable plate 803, one end of the second linkage block 807 is fixed on the second movable plate 806, and the other end is slidably connected to the Z-axis slide 805. The linkage gear 808 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting plate 801. Two sets of linkage gears 808 are provided and correspond to the upper and lower sides of the Z-axis slide 805 respectively. The synchronous belt 809 is wrapped around the two sets of linkage gears 808, and the inner side of the synchronous belt 809 meshes with the linkage gears 808. The first linkage block 804 and the second linkage block 807 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the synchronous belt 809 respectively. The screw fastening component 810 and the photo positioning component 811 are fixed on the first movable plate 803 and the second movable plate 806 respectively.

[0023] The two sides of the synchronous belt 809 are connected to the first movable plate 803 and the second movable plate 806 respectively through the first linkage block 804 and the second linkage block 807. When the lifting drive assembly 802 drives the first movable plate 803 to rise and fall, the second movable plate 806 moves in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the alternating lifting and lowering of the screw fastening component 810 and the photo positioning component 811 in a compact structure. In specific operation, the fastening robot 8 moves above the hard disk under the action of the Y-axis drive assembly 7. The lifting drive assembly 802 drives the photo positioning component 811 to take a picture of the hard disk downward. At this time, the screw fastening component 810 moves upward to avoid it. After taking a picture and positioning, the fastening robot 8 moves above the screw feeder 6. The screw fastening component 810 grabs the screw downward. At this time, the photo positioning component 811 moves upward to avoid it. Finally, the screw fastening component 810 moves back above the hard disk and fastens the screw.

[0024] The X-axis drive assembly 2 and the clamping and flipping assembly 3 are each provided in two sets and are respectively corresponding to the front and rear sides of the first mounting frame 4. The Y-axis drive assembly 7 and the locking robot 8 are each provided in two sets and are respectively corresponding to the left and right sides of the second mounting frame 5. The screw feeder 6 is provided in two sets below each set of locking robot 8.

[0025] The system is equipped with two sets of clamping and flipping components 3 and a locking robot 8, which can simultaneously lock screws onto two sets of hard drives, improving production efficiency. The screw feeder 6 is equipped with multiple sets, which can provide screws of different specifications so that they can be flexibly selected according to actual production needs.

[0026] The above does not limit the technical scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
