When the tip 501 of the screw 500 contacts the surface to be processed, the speed of the motor 10 increases, and the feed force of the first cylinder 20 increases; at the same time, the pneumatic clamp 57 is turned on, the clamp arm 54 drives the clamp jaw 52 to open, and the tool head bracket 21 drives the tool rod 220 to continue to move downward and tighten the screw 50 with the set torque. At this time, the tightening process ends and all cylinders return to the origin.
[0058] A tightening gun according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a first cylinder 20 arranged directly above the fourth cylinder 23, and the second cylinder 30 and the fourth cylinder 23 arranged between the first sliding assembly 24 and the second sliding assembly 32, so that the internal structure of the tightening gun is compact and the volume is small. The stop bolt 33 is installed on the third connecting plate 342 fixedly connected to the second cylinder 30, and the fourth cylinder 23 is arranged directly above the stop bolt 33, so that the structure is more compact. The arbor bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the first sliding assembly 24 and the second sliding assembly 32 at the same time, so that the arbor bracket 21 is more stable when driving the arbor assembly 22 to move. The arbor bracket 21 and the nail feeding assembly 5 share the second sliding assembly 32, so that the number of guide rails used is reduced, the structure is simpler, and the cost is also saved. By using the second sensor 57 to detect the different positions of the clamping jaw 54 to determine whether the clamping jaw 52 is open or closed, the detection is more accurate and the safety during operation is higher. The quick-change head 225 is adapted to the quick-change bushing 221. Only by replacing the tool bar 220 of different specifications with the same quick-change head 225, the processing of different types of threaded nails 50 can be achieved, which is convenient, fast and highly adaptable. When the telescopic tube 58 is under stress, it withdraws from the tool bar guide groove 53 through the downward pressure of the tool bar 220 to prevent the threaded nail 50 from entering and getting stuck, and the structure is simple. When the telescopic tube 58 is not under stress, it is driven by the restoring force of the spring 581 to extend into the tool bar guide groove 53, so as to achieve the conduction between the conduit 56, the telescopic tube 58 and the tool bar guide groove 53, which is convenient for feeding and has a simple structure. By detachably accommodating one end of the spring 581 in the telescopic tube 58 and detachably mounting the other end on the support block 582, it is easy to disassemble when a nail is stuck. By setting the pressure plate 51 with a circular ring structure, the contact area is increased, the force is more uniform, and the indentation is reduced. By using the first sensor 222 to connect with the spiral shaft 11, the torque generated during the tightening process can be better monitored and detected, and the stability is improved. The motor 10 drives the cutter bar 220 to rotate at high speed to soften the connecting plate, and the plate to be connected is squeezed and screwed into the plate under the action of the huge feed force generated by the first cylinder 20, and finally a threaded connection is formed between the plate and the screw 50. In this process, no pre-drilling is required, and the production efficiency is high. The first sensor 222 and the fourth sensor 9 are used to monitor the torque and stroke generated during the tightening process to improve stability.
[0059] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent shall be subject to the attached claims.
