[0028] Working Principle: In actual use, the staff loosens the second and third fixing nuts on the second screw rod 63 according to the depth of the mounting hole for the screw to be assembled, and then adjusts the position of the upper support plate 71. When the upper support plate 71 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the staff tightens the second and third fixing nuts to complete the positioning and fixation of the support member 7. The staff then holds the electric tightening gun body, stretches the weightless balance arm to the appropriate position, and presses down. When the screwdriver bit contacts or is about to contact the screw, the start button is pressed. The electric tightening gun drives the screwdriver bit to tighten the screw. Continuous downward pressure is required during the tightening process. The bottom surface of the reference inner cylinder contacts the reference end surface of the hole. The reference inner cylinder drives the reference block to press the displacement sensor detection head. The displacement sensor feeds back the displacement value to the control system. When the displacement value reaches the system set value, the control system sends a control signal to the controller of the electric tightening gun, the electric tightening gun stops working, and the control system issues a qualified mark. The electric tightening gun has torque overload protection during the screwing process, which controls the screwing torque to prevent excessive torque from causing screw thread slippage and thus producing defective products.
