Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing equipment technology, specifically a double-cylinder locking machine. Background Technology

[0002] A double-cylinder screw tightening machine is an automated device used to automatically complete screw feeding, tightening, torque control, and installation quality inspection. It is commonly used in industries such as electronics, automotive parts, and home appliance manufacturing.

[0003] In existing technologies, screws are typically tightened manually. This traditional manual screw-tightening method is inefficient, as the steps of manually picking up and placing screws, aligning them with holes, tightening, and inspecting are time-consuming and cannot be done continuously and efficiently. Furthermore, it is difficult to guarantee consistent product quality. Due to the subjectivity and fatigue of manual operation, uneven screw tightening torque can easily lead to quality problems such as overtightening, loosening, or stripping. Moreover, there is a lack of efficient and reliable full inspection methods, resulting in a high risk of missed inspections. Labor costs are high, and there are safety hazards. Repetitive manual labor not only puts companies under increasing labor cost pressure, but also poses a certain risk of mechanical injury to operators who directly contact high-speed rotating electric screwdrivers.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1.

The divider rotates according to the preset program and automatically transports the workpieces to each station in sequence. The locking mechanism is driven by a cylinder to descend quickly, and the electric screwdriver controlled by a servo motor completes the tightening operation, which greatly shortens the assembly cycle of a single workpiece. The inspection station uses a laser rangefinder to perform non-contact automatic measurement of screw height and judge the tightening quality in real time, saving the time of manual inspection.

[0014] 2. By dividing the rotating mechanism and setting up a grating bracket, it is easy to install a safety grating that can monitor the working area in real time. Once personnel intrude, the machine will stop immediately, eliminating the risk of mechanical injury, ensuring human and machine safety, reducing the potential safety accident costs, and achieving a balance between efficiency, quality and safety.
