  • Patent number: 11529719
    Abstract: A bolt clamping force transducer for a bolt tightening operation is introduced to tighten a bolted joint by driving a torque rotating shaft in a clamping force transducer, such that a helical mechanism at one end of the torque rotating shaft generates an axial force for pressing a force sensing module and thus generates a strain value thereof. A socket is driven by the other end of the torque rotating shaft, thereby generating a clamping force under which the bolted joint of a specific specification is tightened. A parameter relation between the strain value and the clamping force is calibrated with a standard axial force gauge to facilitate calculation and control of the clamping force during the tightening process where the bolted joint fitted to any torque tool is sensed to control the precision of the clamping force being exerted on the bolted joint, thereby enhancing the quality thereof.

  • Patent number: 11396899
    Abstract: A bolt clamping force sensing washer includes a sensing washer, connection line assembly, and signal processor. The sensing washer includes a body, sensing component, and bushing. The body has an axial hole that matches outer diameter of a bolt's thread. The circumferential surface of the body has a circumferential groove for receiving the sensing component which measures a deformation signal generated by the body under an axial load. Two end surfaces of the body are perpendicular to the axial hole and each have a loosening-proof structure. The bushing is made of metal or plastic or formed by plastic insulating material casting to enclose the sensing component. The signal processor has a signal amplifier, microprocessor, pairing switch, power circuit unit, signal transmission unit, memory unit, RF antenna and alert unit. The connection line assembly is disposed at the bushing to electrically connect the sensing component and signal processor.

  • Patent number: 10940577
    Abstract: In a torque control system and method for power impact torque tool, first establish a curve showing the relationship between the high/low working voltages of the tool in normal operation and the high/low torque values that are correspondingly output by the tool at the high/low working voltages. Input a target torque value that falls between the highest and the lowest torque value on the relationship curve to obtain a working voltage corresponding to the target torque value for performing a tightening operation. During the tightening process, a microprocessor of a torque control device receives and uses sensing signals instantly and continuously sent by a torque sensing device and changes in voltage, current and motor temperature continuously detected by a voltage/current sensing element and a temperature sensing element to stably control, via a voltage control module, the working voltage within a preset allowable range of variation for tightening torque control.
