[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic screw fastening machine tightening force adjustment device, which has the following beneficial effects:

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic screw fastening machine tightening force adjustment device, including a mounting plate 1. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. A drive shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2. A fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive shaft 3. A connecting cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing frame 4. A frame 6 is inserted into the bottom of the connecting cylinder 5. A sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 6. A lead screw 8 is threadedly connected to the central shaft at the top of the connecting cylinder 5. A pressure sensor 9 is movably connected to the bottom of the lead screw 8. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure sensor 9. Hollow rods 11 are movably connected to both sides of the connecting plate 10. A first spring 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity. A movable rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the first spring 12. A vertical plate 14 is movably connected to one side of the movable rod 13. A positioning block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate 14. One side of the positioning block 15 is engaged with the connecting cylinder 5. The top of the connecting plate 10 is movably connected to the lead screw 8 through a bearing. A movable groove is opened on one side of the hollow rod 11. A horizontal rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the vertical plate 14. Both sides of the horizontal rod are fixedly connected to the connecting cylinder 5. Sliding sleeves are fixedly connected to the front and back of the movable rod 13. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding sleeve. Both sides of the sliding rod are fixedly connected to the hollow rod 11.
[0022] The specific function of this technical solution is as follows: When adjustment is required, the pressure value is set through the external PLC controller, and then the lead screw 8 is rotated. The lead screw 8 drives the pressure sensor 9 to move, the pressure sensor 9 drives the connecting plate 10 to move, the connecting plate 10 drives the hollow rod 11 to move, and the hollow rod 11 drives the first spring 12 to deform, thereby adjusting the pressure value. After the pressure sensor 9 detects that the pressure value is the same as the set value, the adjustment work is completed. After the screw is tightened during the operation, the operation of the motor 2 will cause the connecting cylinder 5 to continue to rotate, thereby moving the positioning block 15 away from the frame 6 and avoiding excessive torque that could damage the motor 2.
[0023] Example 2:
[0024] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a connecting frame 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the frame 6. Prisms 20 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting cylinder 5. A fixing plate 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the prism 20. A second spring 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 19. An arc plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the second spring 18. A locking block 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc plate 17. One side of the locking block 21 is inserted into the connecting frame 16. A rectangular groove is opened on one side of the arc plate 17, and the inner cavity of the rectangular groove is slidably connected to the prism 20.
[0025] The specific function of this technical solution is as follows: When the sleeve 7 needs to be replaced, the arc plate 17 is pulled outward, and the arc plate 17 drives the locking block 21 to move away from the connecting frame 16. Then the frame 6 can be pulled down to complete the disassembly work, which makes it convenient to replace the sleeve 7.
[0026] Working principle: When adjustment is required, the pressure value is set through the external PLC controller, and then the lead screw 8 is rotated. The lead screw 8 drives the pressure sensor 9 to move, the pressure sensor 9 drives the connecting plate 10 to move, the connecting plate 10 drives the hollow rod 11 to move, and the hollow rod 11 drives the first spring 12 to deform, thereby adjusting the pressure value. After the pressure sensor 9 detects that the pressure value is the same as the set value, the adjustment work is completed. After the screw is tightened during the operation, the operation of the motor 2 will cause the connecting cylinder 5 to continue to rotate, thereby moving the positioning block 15 away from the frame 6 and avoiding excessive torque that could damage the motor 2.
[0027] When the sleeve 7 needs to be replaced, pull the arc plate 17 outward. The arc plate 17 drives the locking block 21 to move away from the connecting frame 16. Then, pull the frame 6 down to complete the disassembly and facilitate the replacement of the sleeve 7.
