[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a second pneumatic clamp to clamp and fix the upper threaded part, and then uses a moving device to control the movement of the second pneumatic clamp to transfer the upper threaded part to a position that matches the lower threaded part.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Reference Appendix Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides an automatic assembly device for threaded parts, including a fixing mechanism, a tightening mechanism, and a moving mechanism. The fixing mechanism is located at the bottom of the tightening mechanism, and the tightening mechanism assembles an upper threaded part with a lower threaded part located on the fixing mechanism. The moving mechanism is connected to the tightening mechanism and controls the movement of the tightening mechanism. The fixing mechanism includes a fixed base and a first pneumatic clamp, the first pneumatic clamp being located at the top of the fixed base and clamping the lower threaded part. The tightening mechanism includes a drive motor and a second pneumatic clamp, the drive motor being connected to the second pneumatic clamp and controlling the rotation of the second pneumatic clamp, a buffer device being provided between the second pneumatic clamp and the drive motor. The moving mechanism includes a horizontal cylinder and a vertical cylinder, the horizontal cylinder controlling the horizontal movement of the tightening mechanism, and the vertical cylinder controlling the lifting and lowering of the tightening mechanism.

[0021] Specifically, a workbench is provided at the bottom of the fixed base. The fixed base and the workbench are fixedly installed on the workbench by bolts. The fixed base is provided with a receiving groove that mates with the lower threaded part. The lower threaded part is placed in the receiving groove. The first pneumatic clamp is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed base by bolts. The two jaws of the first pneumatic clamp are horizontally arranged and located on both sides of the lower threaded part. The lower threaded part is clamped and fixed by the clamping of the first pneumatic clamp.

[0022] The two jaws of the second pneumatic clamp are located at the bottom, which can clamp and fix the upper threaded part. The drive motor controls the rotation of the second pneumatic clamp to screw the upper threaded part into the lower threaded part.

[0023] The horizontal cylinder of the moving mechanism is mounted on the workbench via a bracket. The horizontal cylinder controls the second pneumatic clamp to move horizontally, which can transport the second pneumatic clamp to the position where the upper threaded part is placed. The lifting cylinder controls the second pneumatic clamp to move downward to clamp the upper threaded part, and then drives the second pneumatic clamp to move upward. After that, the horizontal cylinder transports the second pneumatic clamp to the corresponding position on the top of the fixed seat.

[0024] Preferably, the drive motor is connected to the second pneumatic clamp via a transmission shaft, the transmission shaft is connected to a transmission plate, and the buffer device is a buffer spring, which is disposed between the transmission plate and the second pneumatic clamp.

[0025] Specifically, the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the drive plate. The drive plate is connected to the top of the second pneumatic clamp through two symmetrically distributed connecting rods. The bottom of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the second pneumatic clamp. The top of the connecting rod passes through the drive plate and is provided with a limit plate. The limit plate can limit the connecting rod. The buffer spring is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod. When the downward pressure of the drive motor is too large, the drive plate squeezes the limit spring, which plays a buffering role.

[0026] Preferably, the drive shaft is connected to a slip ring, and the slip ring is connected to the second pneumatic clamp via an air guide pipe.

[0027] Specifically, both the first pneumatic clamp and the second pneumatic clamp are connected to an external air source. The first pneumatic clamp is directly connected to the air source through an air pipe, and the second pneumatic clamp is connected to the air outlet of the rotating end of the air slip ring through an air pipe. The air inlet end of the air slip ring is connected to the air source.

[0028] Preferably, the moving mechanism further includes a first support base, on which the drive motor and the air slip ring are both mounted.

[0029] Specifically, the air slip ring is sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft. Its fixed end is fixedly connected to the first support base, and its rotating end is connected to the drive shaft. The rotating end can rotate with the drive shaft, making the air supply of the second pneumatic clamp more stable and preventing the air guide tube from getting tangled. Both the first and second support bases are made of aluminum alloy plates. The first support base is connected to the drive end of the vertical cylinder, and the vertical cylinder is fixedly installed on the second support base. The second support base is connected to the drive end of the horizontal cylinder, and the horizontal cylinder is installed on the bracket, which is provided with a slide that mates with the second support base.

[0030] Preferably, the drive motor is connected to a torque sensor, which is mounted on the first support base. A bearing is fitted onto the drive shaft, and the bearing is fixedly connected to the first support base via a bearing housing.

[0031] Specifically, the torque sensor is connected to the drive motor and the transmission shaft at both ends via couplings, and the torque sensor is connected to the first support base via bolts. The bearing housing is also connected to the first support base via bolts, effectively fixing the transmission shaft and improving the rotational stability of the transmission shaft.

[0032] In this embodiment, the drive motor, horizontal cylinder, vertical cylinder, torque sensor, first pneumatic clamp, second pneumatic clamp, etc. are all connected to the PLC controller and controlled by the PLC controller. The PLC controller is a conventional model and has no other special structure or function.

[0033] In this embodiment, during operation, the lower threaded component is placed in the receiving groove of the fixed base, and then the first pneumatic clamp clamps both sides of the lower threaded component. A horizontal cylinder drives the second pneumatic clamp to move horizontally to the storage position of the upper threaded component. Then, a vertical cylinder controls the second pneumatic clamp to descend to a preset position, where it grips the upper threaded component. A moving mechanism then moves the second pneumatic clamp to the top of the fixed base, and the vertical cylinder drives the second pneumatic clamp downwards. Simultaneously, a drive motor controls the second pneumatic clamp to rotate, assembling the two threaded components. A torque sensor detects the torque magnitude. When assembly is complete, the torque reaches the preset value of the torque sensor, and the controller controls the drive motor to operate, simultaneously controlling the first and second pneumatic clamps, and controlling the vertical cylinder to move the second pneumatic clamp upwards to complete the assembly.
