[0004] The aforementioned patent uses two fixing blocks to clamp and fix the worm shaft. However, before installing the nut on the worm shaft, it is necessary to control multiple drive sources in sequence to drive the two fixing blocks to clamp and fix the worm shaft, and then control the motor to drive the nut to rotate.

[0012] This utility model provides a worm shaft nut fastening device for assembling automotive parts. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0013] (1) This utility model involves placing a nut inside a polygonal cylinder and attaching it to a magnetic block. By controlling the extension of an electric telescopic rod, the motor moves downward. The motor moves a moving plate downward via a rotating rod. The rotating rod causes the nut inside the polygonal cylinder to contact the worm shaft downward. At the same time, the moving plate causes the L-shaped plate to move downward. The L-shaped plate causes the lower inclined block to press down on the upper inclined panel, pushing the upper inclined panel towards the center. The upper inclined panel then moves the arc-shaped clamping plate towards the center via a sliding cylinder and a sliding rod, so that the two arc-shaped clamping plates clamp and fix the worm shaft. This allows for automatic clamping of the worm shaft without the need for other procedures, making it more convenient to use.
[0014] (2) This utility model controls the motor to drive the rotating rod to rotate, the rotating rod drives the nut inside the polygonal cylinder to rotate, and at the same time controls the electric telescopic rod to drive the polygonal cylinder to move downward, so that the nut inside the polygonal cylinder rotates and fits on the worm shaft, which can effectively tighten the worm shaft nut and ensure the tightening effect of the nut.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4. This utility model provides a technical solution: a worm gear shaft nut fastening device for assembling automotive parts, including a support base 1 and a fixed frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1. A limit cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1. An electric telescopic rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 2 through an opening. The electric telescopic rod 4 is electrically connected to an external power source and controlled by a control switch. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 4. The motor 5 is a servo motor and is electrically connected to an external power source and controlled by a control switch. A rotating rod 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 5 through a coupling. A moving plate 7 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating rod 6. A fastening mechanism 8 is provided below the moving plate 7. Limit mechanisms 9 are provided on both sides of the moving plate 7.
[0022] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the fitting of the nut onto the worm shaft, the fastening mechanism 8 includes a polygonal cylinder 81, which is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 6, and a magnet block 82 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the interior of the polygonal cylinder 81.
[0023] It should be noted that the polygonal inner hole of the polygonal cylinder 81 is the same size as the nut. When the nut is inserted into the polygonal cylinder 81 and attracted to the magnet block 82, the nut will be aligned with the worm shaft below.
[0024] Furthermore, in order to automatically clamp and fix the worm shaft, the limiting mechanism 9 includes an L-shaped plate 91, which is fixedly connected to one side of the moving plate 7. A lower inclined block 92 is fixedly connected to the side end of the L-shaped plate 91. Limiting grooves 93 are opened on both sides of the top of the support base 1. A sliding block 911 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 93. An upper inclined panel 94 that matches the lower inclined block 92 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 911. A sliding cylinder 95 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper inclined panel 94. A sliding rod 96 is slidably connected inside the sliding cylinder 95. A first spring 97 is fixedly connected between one side of the inner cavity of the sliding cylinder 95 and one end of the sliding rod 96. An arc-shaped clamping plate 98 is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod 96. A rubber pad is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 98. Sliding grooves 99 are opened on both sides of the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2. A sliding plate 910 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 91. The sliding plate 910 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 99 by a slider.
[0025] Furthermore, in order to pull the upper inclined panel 94 to move and reset, a second spring 912 is fixedly connected between one side of the inner cavity of the limiting groove 93 and the sliding block 911.
[0026] In use, the worm shaft is initially positioned by placing it into the limiting cylinder 3, and then the nut is inserted into the polygonal cylinder 81 so that it is attracted to the magnet block 82. Then, the electric telescopic rod 4 is extended to drive the motor 5 to move downward. The motor 5 will drive the polygonal cylinder 81 to move downward through the rotating rod 6 and the moving plate 7. The polygonal cylinder 81 will drive the nut to move downward onto the worm shaft through the magnet block 82. The downward movement of the moving plate 7 will drive the L-shaped plate 91 to move downward. The L-shaped plate 91 will drive the lower inclined block 92 to move downward and press the upper inclined plate 94. The lower inclined block 92 will push the upper inclined plate 94 to move towards the middle. The upper inclined plate 94 will push the arc-shaped clamping plate 98 to move towards the middle through the sliding cylinder 95 and the sliding rod 96, so that the two arc-shaped clamping plates 98 clamp and limit the worm shaft in the middle.
[0027] Then, control motor 5 to drive rotating rod 6 to rotate. Rotating rod 6 will drive polygonal cylinder 81 to rotate. Polygonal cylinder 81 will drive nut under magnet block 82 to rotate. At the same time, continue to control electric telescopic rod 4 to extend, so that nut inside polygonal cylinder 81 rotates and moves downward. The nut will gradually rotate downward and fit onto worm shaft. Electric telescopic rod 4 continues to extend, which will drive L-shaped plate 91 to continue to move downward. L-shaped plate 91 will continue to push upper inclined plate 94 to move towards the middle through lower inclined block 92. Upper inclined plate 94 will continue to push sliding cylinder 95. Since arc clamping plate 98 is already clamped on worm shaft, the continued movement of upper inclined plate 94 will drive sliding rod 96 to retract into sliding cylinder 95.
[0028] After the nut is installed on the worm shaft, the control motor 5 stops driving the rotating rod 6 to rotate, so that the polygonal cylinder 81 stops rotating. Then, the control electric telescopic rod 4 retracts, driving the moving plate 7 on the rotating rod 6 to move upward. The moving plate 7 will drive the polygonal cylinder 81 to move upward and reset. The upward pulling force of the polygonal cylinder 81 will pull the magnet block 82 to move upward. Since the nut is threaded on the worm shaft, the upward movement of the magnet block 82 will disengage from the nut. At the same time, the moving plate 7 will drive the two L-shaped plates 91 to move upward, so that the lower inclined plate 92 no longer presses against the upper inclined plate 94. The force of the second spring 912 pulls the sliding block 911 to move outward. The sliding block 911 will drive the upper inclined plate 94 to move outward and reset. The upper inclined plate 94 will drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 98 to move outward through the sliding cylinder 95 and the sliding rod 96, no longer clamping the worm shaft.
