In a recent breakthrough, the students and faculty of Ningbo Dahongying Academy have developed an automatic screw machine capable of installing identical screws in just one second. This innovative device recently secured the first prize at the Zhejiang Provincial Machinery Design Contest, marking a significant achievement for the team.
The machine, roughly the size of a shoebox, may not look impressive at first glance, but it is highly efficient. When activated, the internal gears begin to rotate, creating vibrations that automatically arrange a pile of disorganized screws into a neat line. The screws then move forward through grooves in the gears, resembling soldiers marching in formation. Once positioned, a high-pressure cylinder blows the selected screw to the outlet and securely fastens it in the designated spot. The entire process takes only about 5 to 6 seconds, with the actual screwing action completed in just one second.
For comparison, even the most skilled workers take at least half a minute to complete the same task manually. This makes the automatic screw machine incredibly efficient and potentially transformative for industrial applications.
The invention was created by a team of students from the Institute of Electrical Engineering at Ningbo Dahongying Academy, led by He Runqin and Chen Guangqun. The group spent five months working on the project, refining its design and functionality. Their efforts paid off when they won first place in the 11th Zhejiang Mechanical Design Contest, where over 360 teams from 50 universities across the province participated.
The success of the machine has already drawn attention from several manufacturers. Three companies have expressed interest in their product, and a lighting company has even sent a letter of intent to collaborate. With its practical value and potential for widespread use in assembly lines, this invention could revolutionize the way screws are installed in various industries.
