Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a screw locking device for a car storage box locking mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] As automobiles continue to develop, people's demands for car comfort are also increasing. For example, the unlocking function of the car door armrest storage box. When the existing storage box is assembled, the two parts are connected by screws. The traditional method of tightening screws is to manually tighten the screws on the product to be assembled, which increases the labor intensity of manual labor and has low production efficiency. In addition, when the product is manually held and locked, it is easy to be damaged, thus reducing the product yield.
[0003] The prior art CN217371284U discloses a screw-locking device for a storage box. The screw-locking assembly performs screw-locking operations on the storage box on the positioning mechanism, which effectively avoids damage to the storage box during the screw-locking process, and also helps to improve productivity and save labor and production costs. At the same time, the positioning mechanism is set on the rotating mechanism, and the screw-locking operation on the side and bottom of the storage box can be conveniently performed by rotating the storage box, further improving the screw-locking efficiency.
[0004] However, when using the aforementioned screw-locking device to tighten products, it is still necessary to manually select the screws and place them in the designated position on the product to be assembled before the screw-locking assembly can be used to perform the screw-locking operation, which increases the workload of the workers. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a screw-locking device for a car storage box locking mechanism, which solves the technical problem that existing screw-locking devices still require manual selection of screws and placement of screws in designated positions on the product to be assembled before the screw-locking assembly can be used to perform the screw-locking operation, thus increasing the workload of workers.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a screw-locking device for a car storage box locking mechanism, including a base, a drive mechanism, a conveyor belt, a mounting plate, a partition plate, a support base, an adjustment mechanism, a suction cup, and a clamping mechanism. The drive mechanism is located on the base and is used to drive the conveyor belt to move from left to right or from right to left. The mounting plate is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the conveyor belt, and each mounting plate is provided with a plurality of partition plates. The support base is provided on the base, and the adjustment mechanism is located on the support base and is used to adjust the position of the suction cup.

[0007] The driving mechanism includes a support frame, transmission wheels, and a driving component. There are two support frames, which are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the base. Several transmission wheels are evenly distributed between the two support frames. All transmission wheels pass through one of the support frames. The conveyor belt is arranged outside all the transmission wheels. The driving component is used to drive all the transmission wheels to rotate.
[0008] The driving component includes a support plate, a driving part, and a transmission part. There are two support plates, which are respectively disposed on the left and right sides outside the support frame through which the transmission wheel passes. The driving part is disposed outside the left support plate, and the output shaft of the driving part passes through the left support plate and is connected to the right support plate. The transmission part is used to transmit the driving force of the driving part to the transmission wheel.
[0009] The adjustment mechanism includes a rotating structure, a Y-axis moving structure, a Z-axis moving structure, and an X-axis moving structure. The rotating structure is used to rotate the Y-axis moving structure horizontally. The Y-axis moving structure is used to move the Z-axis moving structure in the Y direction. The Z-axis moving structure is used to move the X-axis moving structure in the Z direction. The X-axis moving structure is used to move the suction cup in the X direction.
[0010] The clamping mechanism includes a sliding plate, a flipping plate, and a clamping plate. There are two sliding plates, which are slidably disposed on the front and rear sides of the support base, respectively. The flipping plate is rotatably disposed on the opposite side of the two sliding plates, and the clamping plate is disposed on the opposite side of the two flipping plates.
[0011] The clamping plate includes a fixed plate and a movable plate. The fixed plate and the movable plate are provided on opposite sides of the two flip plates, and the movable plate is slidably connected to the flip plate.
[0012] This utility model discloses a screw-locking device for a car storage box locking mechanism. A drive mechanism drives a conveyor belt to move from left to right or right to left above a base, causing the screw placed on the conveyor belt to move from left to right or right to left above the base until the screw is near a suction cup. An adjustment mechanism then drives the suction cup to rotate horizontally on a support or move along the X, Y, and Z axes, allowing the suction cup to contact and firmly hold the screw. The screw is then moved to a screw-locking assembly, which performs the screw-locking operation. Throughout this process, manual selection and placement of the screw in the designated position on the product to be assembled are eliminated, reducing the workload of workers. This solves the technical problem of existing screw-locking devices, which still require manual selection and placement of screws before screw-locking can be performed, thus increasing the workload of workers.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0020] First embodiment:
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a screw-locking device for a car storage box locking mechanism, including a base 101, a drive mechanism, a conveyor belt 102, a mounting plate 103, a partition plate, a support base 104, an adjustment mechanism, a suction cup 105, and a clamping mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a support frame 106, a transmission wheel 107, and a drive component. The drive component includes a support plate 108, a drive part 109, and a transmission part. The adjustment mechanism includes a rotation structure, a Y-axis movement structure, a Z-axis movement structure, and an X-axis movement structure. The clamping mechanism includes a sliding plate 110, a flipping plate 111, and a clamping plate. The clamping plate includes a fixed plate 112 and a movable plate 113.
[0022] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism drives the conveyor belt 102 to move from left to right or from right to left above the base 101, causing the screw placed on the conveyor belt 102 to move from left to right or from right to left above the base 101 until the screw is conveyed to the vicinity of the suction cup 105. Then, the adjustment mechanism drives the suction cup 105 to rotate horizontally on the support 104 or move along the X, Y, and Z directions, so that the suction cup 105 can move to contact the screw and firmly adhere to it. The screw is then moved to the screw-locking assembly, where the screw-locking assembly performs the screw-locking operation. Throughout the process, there is no need for manual selection of the screw and placement of the screw at the designated position on the product to be assembled, thereby reducing the workload of the workers. This solves the technical problem that existing screw-locking devices still require manual selection of the screw and placement of the screw at the designated position on the product to be assembled before the screw-locking assembly can be used for screw-locking, which increases the workload of the workers.
[0023] The driving mechanism is located on the base 101 and is used to drive the conveyor belt 102 to move from left to right or from right to left. Mounting plates 103 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the conveyor belt 102, and each mounting plate 103 has several partition plates. A support base 104 is mounted on the base 101, and an adjustment mechanism is located on the support base 104 to adjust the position of the suction cup 105. The clamping mechanism is located on the side of the support base 104 away from the conveyor belt 102. Used for clamping and fixing car storage boxes, the partition includes a horizontal partition 114 and a vertical partition 115. Several horizontal partitions 114 are evenly distributed on each mounting plate 103. Several vertical partitions 115 are detachably installed on all horizontal partitions 114. Every two adjacent horizontal partitions 114 and two adjacent vertical partitions 115 at corresponding positions together form a separate placement area, so that a screw can be placed in each placement area and the screws do not affect each other.
[0024] Secondly, there are two support frames 106, which are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the base 101. A number of transmission wheels 107 are evenly distributed between the two support frames 106. All the transmission wheels 107 pass through one of the support frames 106. The conveyor belt 102 is arranged outside all the transmission wheels 107. The driving member is used to drive all the transmission wheels 107 to rotate. The transmission wheels 107 can rotate along their own axis between the two support frames 106, driving the conveyor belt 102 outside the transmission wheels 107 to move from left to right or from right to left above the base 101.
[0025] Furthermore, there are two support plates 108, respectively located on the left and right sides outside the support frame 106 through which the transmission wheel 107 passes. The drive unit 109 is located outside the left support plate 108, and the output shaft of the drive unit 109 passes through the left support plate 108 and connects to the right support plate 108. The transmission unit is used to transmit the driving force of the drive unit 109 to the transmission wheel 107. The transmission unit includes a first gear 116 and a second gear 117. A plurality of first gears 116 are evenly distributed outside the output shaft of the drive unit 109, and each first gear 116 is meshed with a second gear 117. The second gear 117 is respectively disposed at a corresponding position on the side of the transmission wheel 107 close to the first gear 116. Both the first gear 116 and the second gear 117 are bevel gears, and the first gear 116 and the second gear 117 are arranged perpendicular to each other. After the drive unit 109 is started, the output shaft of the drive unit 109 will rotate along the axis of the output shaft of the drive unit 109, driving the first gear 116 outside the output shaft of the drive unit 109 to rotate along its own axis, thereby driving the second gear 117 to rotate along its own axis, and then driving the transmission wheel 107 to rotate along its own axis between the two support frames 106.
[0026] Simultaneously, the rotating structure is used to horizontally rotate the Y-axis moving structure, the Y-axis moving structure is used to move the Z-axis moving structure in the Y direction, the Z-axis moving structure is used to move the X-axis moving structure in the Z direction, and the X-axis moving structure is used to move the suction cup 105 in the X direction. The rotating structure includes a rotating part 118 and a rotating disk 119. The support base 104 has a groove 120, the rotating part 118 is located in the groove 120, and the rotating disk 119 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating part 118 and rotatably disposed in the groove 120. The output shaft of the rotating part 118 is connected to the rotating disk 119 and drives the rotating disk 119 to rotate along its own axis within the groove 120 of the support base 104. The Y-axis moving structure includes a slide rail 121, a slider 122, and a Y-axis moving part 123. There are two slide rails 121, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the rotating disk 119. The slider 122 is slidably arranged on the two slide rails 121. The output end of the Y-axis moving part 123 is connected to the slider 122. The Y-axis moving part 123 is arranged on the rotating disk. Between the two slide rails 121 on 119, the output end of the Y-axis moving part 123 is connected to the slider 122 and drives the slider 122 to move along the Y-axis on the slide rail 121. The Z-axis moving structure includes a Z-axis moving part 124 and a lifting block 125. The Z-axis moving part 124 is disposed on the slider 122. The lifting block 125 is connected to the output end of the Z-axis moving part 124 and is located on the Z-axis moving part 124. The output end of the Z-axis moving part 124 is connected to the lifting block 125 and drives the lifting block 125 to move along the Y-axis. Block 125 moves along the Z-direction above slider 122. The X-direction moving structure is an X-direction moving part 126. The number of X-direction moving parts 126 is the same as the number of suction cups 105. The output end of the X-direction moving part 126 is connected to the suction cup 105 at the corresponding position and is disposed on the side of the lifting block 125 near the conveyor belt 102. The output end of the X-direction moving part 126 is connected to the suction cup 105 at the corresponding position and drives the suction cup 105 at the corresponding position to move along the X-direction outside the lifting block 125.
[0027] In addition, there are two sliding plates 110, which are slidably disposed on the front and rear sides of the support base 104 respectively. A flip plate 111 is rotatably disposed on the opposite side of each of the two sliding plates 110, and a clamping plate is disposed on the opposite side of each of the two flip plates 111. Each sliding plate 110 has a protrusion, and the support base 104 has a groove. The protrusion of the sliding plate 110 is located in the groove of the support base 104 and moves along the Y direction within the groove of the support base 104. The movement of the sliding plate 110 along the Y direction on the support base 104 is driven by a hydraulic telescopic rod 127. The flipping of the flip plate 111 outside the sliding plate 110 is driven by a rotating part 128, which is a rotary motor or a rotary electric motor.
[0028] Finally, a fixed plate 112 and a movable plate 113 are provided on opposite sides of the two flip plates 111, and the movable plate 113 is slidably connected to the flip plate 111. The movement of the movable plate 113 along the Z direction outside the flip plate 111 is driven by an electric telescopic rod 129.
[0029] When using the screw-locking device of the car storage box locking mechanism of this embodiment, the locking mechanism of the car storage box to be assembled is placed on the fixed plate 112 between the two flip plates 111. The electric telescopic rod 129 is activated, which drives the movable plate 113 to move along the Z direction outside the flip plate 111, thereby adjusting the distance between the movable plate 113 and the fixed plate 112. This allows the height of the locking mechanism to be clamped and fixed between the fixed plate 112 and the movable plate 113. Then, the hydraulic telescopic rod 127 is activated, which... The sliding plates 110 on the front and rear sides of the support base 104 are driven to move along the Y direction on the support base 104, so that the two sliding plates 110 on the front and rear sides of the support base 104 move relative to each other or away from each other, thereby driving the flip plates 111 outside each sliding plate 110 to move relative to each other or away from each other. The two flip plates 111 move relative to each other, so that the width dimension of the locking mechanism can be clamped and fixed between the fixed plate 112 and the movable plate 113, and the height dimension of the locking mechanism can be clamped and fixed between the fixed plate 112 and the movable plate 113, thereby clamping and fixing the locking mechanism.
[0030] After clamping and fixing the locking mechanism, the longitudinal partition 115 is inserted into the groove of the rightmost transverse partition 114 on the mounting plate 103 in sequence. Then, screws are placed between every two adjacent transverse partitions 114. After that, the longitudinal partition 115 is inserted into the groove of the transverse partition 114 on the left side where the screws are placed. Screws are then placed between every two adjacent transverse partitions 114. The above operation is repeated so that screws can be placed in the placement space formed by every two adjacent transverse partitions 114 and the two adjacent longitudinal partitions 115 at the corresponding positions. Thus, a number of screws can be placed on the mounting plate 103.
[0031] Activating the drive unit 109 causes its output shaft to rotate along its axis, driving the first gear 116 outside the output shaft to rotate along its own axis. This, in turn, drives the second gear 117 to rotate along its own axis, which in turn drives the transmission wheel 107 to rotate between the two support frames 106 along its own axis. The rotation of the transmission wheel 107 between the two support frames 106 causes the conveyor belt 102 outside the transmission wheel 107 to move from left to right or from right to left above the base 101. This causes the screw placed on the conveyor belt 102 to move from left to right or from right to left above the base 101 until the screw is conveyed to the vicinity of the suction cup 105.
[0032] Subsequently, the rightmost longitudinal partition 115 is removed, and the Y-axis moving part 123 is activated. The power output from the output end of the Y-axis moving part 123 drives the slider 122 to move along the Y-axis on the slide rail 121, causing the suction cup 105 to move along the Y-axis above the base 101. The Z-axis moving part 124 is activated, and the power output from the output end of the Z-axis moving part 124 drives the lifting block 125 to move along the Z-axis above the slider 122, causing the suction cup 105 to move along the Z-axis on the base 101. The X-axis moving part 126 is activated, and the power output from the X-axis moving part 126 drives the suction cup 105 at the corresponding position to move along the X-axis outside the lifting block 125. This allows the suction cup 105 to move along the X-axis on the base 101. Combined with the movement of the suction cup 105 along the Y and Z axes on the base 101, the suction cup 105 can pick up the screws in the rightmost placement space one by one.
[0033] Then, the rotating part 118 is activated, so that the power output from the output shaft of the rotating part 118 drives the rotating disk 119 to rotate along its own axis in the groove 120 of the support base 104. This drives the suction cup 105 to rotate above the base 101 along the axis of the rotating disk 119. The suction cup 105 rotates horizontally 180 degrees along the axis of the rotating disk 119, so that the suction cup 105 can be rotated to the vicinity of the clamped and fixed locking mechanism. Then, the suction cup 105 is moved along the X, Y and Z directions, so that the screw held by the suction cup 105 can be moved and placed at the assembly position of the locking mechanism.
[0034] Finally, the rotating part 128 is activated, so that the power output from the output shaft of the rotating part 128 drives the flip plate 111 to rotate outside the sliding plate 110 along the axis of the output shaft of the rotating part 128, thereby flipping the flip plate 111 by 180 degrees, which in turn drives the locking mechanism to flip by 180 degrees. This allows the assembly part of the locking mechanism to be assembled to be moved to the screw assembly, and the screw assembly is used to perform screw-locking operations on the locking mechanism.
[0035] Throughout the process, there is no need for manual selection of screws and placement of them in the designated positions on the product to be assembled. This reduces the workload of workers and solves the technical problem that existing screw-locking devices still require manual selection of screws and placement in the designated positions on the product to be assembled before the screw-locking assembly can be used, thus increasing the workload of workers.

Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application are still within the scope of this application.
