Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of threaded sleeve assembly and processing technology, and in particular to a fully automatic threaded sleeve locking device. Background Technology
[0002] A threaded insert is a type of internal threaded fastener. It is a spring-shaped external threaded concentric body precisely machined from high-strength, high-precision, and smooth-surfaced cold-rolled stainless steel wire. It is mainly used to reinforce and protect the internal threads of low-strength materials. Its principle is to form an elastic connection between the screw and the internal thread of the base, eliminate thread manufacturing errors, and improve connection strength.
[0003] During product assembly, it is often necessary to install threaded inserts. The threaded insert needs to be placed into the installation wrench first, and the wrench is used to position the threaded insert and install it into the workpiece to complete the installation. This manual installation method is extremely inefficient, labor-intensive, and has low installation accuracy. Semi-automatic threaded insert assembly equipment requires manual assistance during use, which cannot efficiently free up labor.
[0004] Therefore, a fully automatic brace locking device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a fully automatic threaded sleeve installation device, which aims to improve the existing technology for installing threaded sleeves. The existing technology requires the threaded sleeve to be placed into the installation wrench first, and the wrench is used to position the threaded sleeve and install it into the workpiece to complete the installation. This manual installation method is extremely inefficient, labor-intensive, and has low installation accuracy. The semi-automatic threaded sleeve assembly equipment requires manual assistance during use, which cannot efficiently free up labor.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A fully automatic brace fitting device includes: a chassis, with support feet and casters fixedly installed at the four corners of the chassis bottom; an air source filter and a main power switch fixedly installed on the front of the chassis; operation buttons fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the chassis; a cover fixedly installed on the top of the chassis; a three-color light fixedly installed on the top of the cover; a computer monitor and a touch screen fixedly installed on the front of the cover; a movable frame fixedly installed on the top of the chassis; an electric slide table installed on the top of the movable frame; two high-density switching cylinders fixedly installed on the front of the electric slide table; a servo motor fixedly installed at the bottom of the front of the electric slide table; and brace bit installed at the bottom of the servo motor.
[0008] Through the above technical solutions, support feet are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the chassis to ensure the stability of the equipment and prevent shaking during operation. The equipped casters allow for easy movement when needed, improving the equipment's flexibility and convenience. An air source filter and main power switch are fixedly installed on the front of the chassis, allowing operators to quickly connect the air and power sources, simplifying pre-start preparations. The operation buttons on the top of the chassis are rationally designed, facilitating quick selection and control of various functions during operation. A three-color indicator light fixedly installed on the top of the cover visually displays the equipment's operating status, such as running, paused, or faulty, allowing operators to understand the equipment's condition promptly. The computer monitor and touchscreen on the front of the cover provide a clear and intuitive graphical interface, enabling operators to easily set parameters, monitor equipment operation, and make necessary adjustments. The movable frame and electric slide fixedly installed on the top of the chassis automate the tooth clamping process, improving production efficiency and reducing the tediousness of manual operation. Two high-density switching cylinders fixedly installed on the front of the electric slide can quickly and accurately switch working states, further enhancing the equipment's automation level. A servo motor with a servo bit mounted at its base ensures accurate and consistent servo locking, improving product quality. The servo motor also reduces human error, making the servo locking process more reliable and stable.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: a camera is fixedly mounted on the front of the servo motor via a connecting plate, a lens is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the camera, and a light source is provided at the bottom of the lens.
[0010] Through the above technical solution, a camera is securely mounted on the front of the servo motor via a connecting plate. This camera is carefully designed to capture detailed images during the braces locking process, ensuring visual monitoring of its working status. A lens is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the camera. This lens has high-precision optical performance and can clearly focus and capture details of the target area. In order to optimize the image capture effect, a light source is also set at the bottom of the lens. This light source provides stable and uniform illumination for the camera, ensuring that clear and accurate image information can be obtained under different ambient light conditions.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a tail-cutting cylinder is fixedly installed on the front of the electric slide table, and a tail-cutting rod is provided at the bottom of the tail-cutting cylinder.
[0012] The above technical solution involves a tail-cutting cylinder fixedly mounted on the front of the electric slide table of the equipment. This tail-cutting cylinder is a crucial component of the equipment, specifically designed to perform the tail-cutting operation during the locking process of the dental brace. A tail-cutting rod is located at the bottom of the cylinder, which, driven by the cylinder, can move precisely up and down to complete the tail-cutting action of the dental brace. This design not only improves the automation level of dental brace processing but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of the tail-cutting operation, thereby further enhancing the quality and processing efficiency of the dental brace products.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, a support profile is fixedly installed on the top of the chassis. These profiles provide a stable support structure for the equipment. A base plate is further fixedly installed on the top of the support profile. The base plate serves as the mounting foundation for the upper components of the equipment, ensuring the stability and accuracy of each component. A toothed sleeve circular vibrator is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate. This is a key part of the toothed sleeve feeding system, responsible for uniformly and continuously conveying the toothed sleeves through vibration. The front of the toothed sleeve circular vibrator is connected to the toothed sleeve separator through the toothed sleeve discharge track. The toothed sleeve separator is responsible for separating the continuously output toothed sleeves one by one for subsequent processing. The bottom of the toothed sleeve discharge track is fixedly connected to the base plate through the toothed sleeve direct vibration. The toothed sleeve direct vibration provides the necessary vibrational power for the smooth movement of the toothed sleeves on the track, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of toothed sleeve conveying.

These two servo motors serve as the power source of the equipment, providing precise and controllable rotational power. The output ends of the servo motors are fixedly connected to reducers. The function of the reducers is to reduce the speed of the servo motors while increasing the output torque to meet the specific power and speed requirements of the equipment. The output ends of the reducers are fixedly connected to the rotating plate through couplings. The couplings ensure the smoothness and reliability of power transmission. Driven by the servo motors and reducers, the rotating plate can rotate precisely, thereby driving the relevant components in the equipment to complete operations such as tooth clamping.
