Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology and relates to a screw machine for installing snap-on screws. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, the assembly of clips and screws is a common processing step, widely used in electronics, automotive parts, and other fields. Traditional clip and screw installation methods often rely on manual operation or simple mechanical assistance, which presents several problems. Manual installation is inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to instability in installation accuracy due to operator fatigue, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale production. Furthermore, some early automated equipment had independent clip feeding and screw installation units, lacking effective coordination, resulting in inefficient material handling, low overall equipment operating efficiency, and increased production cycles and costs. In addition, single installation unit configurations cannot adapt to diverse production needs, making it difficult to achieve efficient screw installation with multiple clip sizes, thus limiting production flexibility and adaptability.

[0009] The positioning seat is located in the machining area of ​​the screw mounting unit, and a material groove that runs through the front and back is formed on the positioning seat.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: each screw mounting group in the screw mounting unit is mounted on the upper end of the corresponding buckle feeding group via a gantry frame;

[0011] The screw installation assembly includes: an installation frame mounted on a gantry, a first cylinder lifting module mounted on the installation frame, a chuck bracket mounted on the first cylinder lifting module, a second cylinder lifting module mounted on the chuck bracket, and a drive motor mounted on the second cylinder lifting module.

[0012] The lower end of the chuck bracket is equipped with a chuck mounting base, on which an air-blowing screw chuck is mounted; and the output shaft of the drive motor is equipped with a mounting tool holder, the lower end of which passes through the screw chuck.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through automated integrated design, an automated production system for installing snap-fit ​​screws is achieved; multiple sets of snap-fit ​​feeding and screw installation units operate in parallel to realize fully automated processing. Compared with traditional single-set processing, production efficiency is significantly improved and the production cycle is greatly shortened; at the same time, fully automated operation effectively avoids human error, improves installation accuracy and product quality stability, and can effectively reduce enterprise processing costs and enhance market competitiveness.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] This utility model provides a reference. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a screw machine for installing snap-on screws includes: a snap-on feeding unit 2 and a snap-on feeding unit 3 for feeding the snap-on feeding unit 2, a screw installation unit 4 and a screw feeding unit 1 for feeding the screw installation unit 4.

[0024] The clip feeding unit 2 includes multiple sets of clip feeding groups 21, while the screw mounting unit 4 includes screw mounting groups 42 corresponding to the number of clip feeding groups 21. The clip feeding groups 21 are located in the processing area of ​​the corresponding screw mounting groups 42. The clips to be processed are fed into the processing area of ​​the screw mounting groups 42 through the clip feeding groups 21, and then the screw mounting groups 42 complete the screw installation of the clips.
