  • Publication number: 20230166388
    Abstract: Provided is a bit attachment device comprising an attaching sleeve, a disassembling-attaching assembly and an abutting assembly arranged in sequence. A first end of the attaching sleeve is attached to a movable rod within the tightening module via a buffer assembly to synchronize movement with the movable rod. A first end of an attaching shaft of the disassembling-attaching assembly forms a tight fit with a second end of the attaching sleeve via a spline structure, and the second end is attached to a bit. The abutting assembly is movably provided at a position on an outer periphery of the second end of the attaching sleeve, so that it can abut against the attaching shaft in a radial direction or move away from the attaching sleeve to loosen the attaching shaft, and with the buffer assembly, mitigate the impact force of the structure to be locked when the bolt is installed.

  • Patent number: 11548123
    Abstract: An electric pulse tool is configured to deliver torque in pulses on an output shaft thereof and includes an electric motor to drive the output shaft. The electric pulse tool is configured to, for each period, provide a current pulse to the electric motor during a current-on time interval, pause a current feed to the electric motor after the current-on time interval until an end of a torque pulse, determine a width of the torque pulse, and continue pausing the current feed to the electric motor during a pause interval from the end of the torque pulse. The pause interval is determined based on the width of the torque pulse such that a wider torque pulse results in a wider pause interval and a narrower torque pulse results in a shorter pause interval.
