[0014] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method of the electric tightening tool control system as described above:
[0015] The speed and current signals of the motor are acquired in real time, and the output torque is obtained according to the speed and current signals. The specific control algorithm is as follows:
[0016] The motor of the present invention adopts a permanent magnet DC brushless motor, and its kinematic equation during stable operation is expressed as:
[0017]
[0018] Where, T em is the electromagnetic torque of the motor, T2 is the load torque, T0 is the no-load torque of the motor, n is the motor speed, GD 2 is the flywheel inertia. Once entering the steady state, the dynamic equation becomes:
[0019] T em =T2+T0
[0020] DC motor electromagnetic torque T em It is expressed as:
[0021] T em =C T ΦI a
[0022] Among them C T is the torque constant, Φ is the motor armature flux, I a is the motor armature current. According to the dynamic equation, the DC motor electromagnetic torque T em , the load torque T2 is expressed as:
[0023] T2=f(I a, ,n)
[0024] Load torque T2 is the armature current I a and the motor speed n.
[0025] When the motor is running at no load, the armature current is I a =I a0 , DC motor electromagnetic no-load torque T em0 It is expressed as:
[0026] T em0 =T0=C T ΦI a0
[0027] When the load is driven, the armature current becomes △I a =I a -I a0 Then we can get the load torque T2 and the armature current increment △I when the motor is running under load. a The relationship equation between the motor speed n is expressed as:
[0028] T2=f(△I a ,n)
[0029] Combined with the reducer and multiplier torque amplification, the actual output torque value T of the electric tightening tool o The armature current I can be converted by collecting a And motor speed n is obtained:
[0030] T o =K DD f(△I a ,n)
[0031] K DD It is the conversion factor between the output torque of the electric tightening tool and the motor load torque.
[0032] On the other hand, the measured torque value of the torque sensor is collected in real time to determine whether the measured torque value reaches the preset value. If so, the motor stops; if not, the motor speed and current are controlled to adjust the output torque until the measured torque value reaches the preset value and the motor stops. On the one hand, the electric tightening tool in this article collects the motor armature current and motor speed signals to control the motor speed and output torque in real time; on the other hand, the torque value of the motor sensor is collected in real time to calibrate the torque accuracy, thereby achieving higher control accuracy and torque accuracy of the electric tightening tool.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0050] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and are intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.
[0051] As introduced in the background technology, the existing electric tightening tool control system usually adopts a simple motor control and position feedback mechanism, which makes it difficult to achieve high-precision tightening torque control and complex tightening strategies. The traditional control system needs to be equipped with a separate controller, which can only be used at a fixed workstation and is inconvenient to carry. At the same time, the traditional control system lacks real-time status monitoring and fault diagnosis functions, and cannot promptly detect and handle abnormal situations during the tightening process. In addition, problems such as insufficient battery life and unstable motor performance also limit the scope of use and performance of electric tightening tools. In addition, traditional threaded tightening tools lack intelligent functions such as spatial positioning, wireless charging, and code scanning control. It is impossible to write tightening programs, record and trace tightening data, and cannot promptly detect and handle abnormal situations during the tightening process. It is impossible to interact with the control terminal and the server.
[0052] Therefore, traditional tightening tools have many deficiencies in terms of accuracy, efficiency and reliability, and lack the recording and traceability of tightening data, and cannot meet the needs of modern manufacturing for high-precision and high-efficiency tightening operations.
[0053] In order to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment proposes an electric tightening tool control system, including: an encoder 4, installed on the motor, used to obtain the rotation angle of the motor and feed it back to the main controller 1;
[0054] The torque sensor 8 is installed at the front end of the multiplier 7, and is used to accurately obtain the torque during the tightening process and feed it back to the main controller 1; the control terminal 2 interacts with the main controller 1 for data remote control and data reception; the main controller 1 generates control instructions based on the instructions of the control terminal 2 and the data fed back by the encoder 4 and the torque sensor 8, and sends them to the motor drive 3; the motor drive 3 controls the operation of the motor 5 under the instructions of the main controller 1.
[0055] The motor control includes control logic and instructions for the motor drive circuit, and the motor drive 3 is responsible for converting these control instructions into actual drive signals to drive the motor 5 to operate.
[0056] The system achieves high-precision control and real-time status monitoring of the tightening process by integrating key components such as a high-precision torque sensor 8, an integrated high-performance main controller 1, and a large-capacity battery pack 10, and realizes data communication with the control terminal 2.
[0057] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent electric tightening tool control system includes a main controller 1, a control terminal 2, a server 21, an operating terminal 22, a motor drive 3, an encoder 4, a motor 5, a reducer 6, a multiplier 7, a torque sensor 8, an output head 9, a battery pack 10, a wireless charging module 11, a charging box 12, etc.
[0058] The main controller 1 includes the following submodules: microcontroller unit (MCU 101), display screen 102, serial communication module 103, storage module 104, power module 105, button 106, wireless communication module 107, clock module 108, signal conditioning module 109, indicator light 110, spatial positioning module 111, code scanning module 112, etc. As a core component, the main controller 1 can execute complex control logic and data processing, realizes the design without external controller, is easy to carry, and has precise control.
[0059] The MCU 101 includes a central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM, ROM), input and output ports, etc., for executing control logic and data processing.
[0060] The signal conditioning module 109 performs amplification, filtering, conversion and other processing on the input or output signal to ensure the quality and stability of the signal.
[0061] The display screen 102 can display the working step (torque program number), forward and reverse status, lock and unlock status, WiFi logo, set torque, set angle, feedback torque, and feedback angle of the intelligent electric tightening tool. The operator can observe the status of the tool and the real-time torque value and angle value through the display screen 102.
[0062] The button 106 can select a working step (torque program number) for the tool, and lock and unlock operations, making it convenient for the operator to switch the working state of the tool.
[0063] The indicator light 110 can provide feedback on the status of the tightening result of the tool. If the tightening is qualified, the indicator light turns green, and if the tightening is unqualified, the indicator light turns red, which is convenient for the operator to observe.
[0064] The main controller 1 has a wireless communication module 107 and a serial communication module 103 that communicate with the control terminal 2 through wireless transmission and serial port. The wireless communication module 107 includes but is not limited to WIFI, Bluetooth, 4G, 5G and other communication methods. The serial communication module 103 includes but is not limited to 232 serial communication and 485 serial communication methods. Through the serial communication module 103, the torque parameters (set torque, torque upper limit, torque lower limit, set angle, angle lower limit, angle lower limit, program number, job number) and wireless communication connection parameters (WiFi name, WiFi password, IP address, Bluetooth name) of the electric tightening tool can be edited through the control terminal.
[0065] like Figure 2As shown, the control terminal 2 includes a service terminal 21 and an operation terminal 22. The operation terminal 22 includes a PC 221, a tablet 222, and a PDA 223. Appropriate control terminal tools can be reasonably selected according to different usage scenarios. According to user needs, a service terminal can be arranged on the upper layer of the operation terminal, including an MES system 211 and an intelligent assembly control system 212, to achieve unified deployment and management of tools, processes, personnel, and data.
[0066] Through the wireless communication module 107, the control terminal 2 can issue torque parameter instructions, lock and unlock instructions, data subscription upload instructions, and curve upload instructions to the tool. The tool tightening data can be uploaded to the control terminal 2 through the wireless communication module 107 for data recording and storage. In addition, the main controller 1 of the tool itself has a storage module 104, which can store more than 5,000 storage data and more than 10 curve data. It can be disconnected and reconnected to prevent data loss. Therefore, the tightening data has dual storage and dual protection.
[0067] After the main controller 1 receives the button 106 selection or the command issued by the control terminal 2, it is issued to the motor driver 3, and the motor driver 3 is responsible for converting these control instructions into actual drive signals to drive the motor 5 to operate. The motor 5 rotates at high speed, and the high-speed rotation of the motor 5 is converted into a large torque through the reducer 6 and the multiplier 7. The torque sensor 8 monitors the torque value in real time, and the encoder 4 monitors the angle value in real time, and feeds back to the main controller 1 in real time, so as to control the speed and start and stop of the motor 5. According to the rotation angle detected by the encoder, the torque and angle tightening curve can be obtained, and the tool can be controlled to rotate a predetermined angle to meet the needs of different scenarios. In addition, the electric tool will be strong after tightening the bolt, and the electric tool can be taken down by reversing a certain angle. And the display screen 102 and the indicator light 110 give the operator intuitive feedback. After the tightening is completed, the data is stored in the storage module 104, and the data is uploaded to the control terminal 2 through the wireless communication module 17.
[0068] The battery pack 10 is installed at the bottom of the tool handle and can be plugged in and out. Different models of battery packs 10 are equipped according to the torque of the tool. For small torque power tools, 12V / 4Ah capacity battery packs 10 are equipped, and for large torque power tools, 18V / 5Ah capacity battery packs 10 are equipped. The battery pack 10 is equipped with a charging box 12. When the battery pack 10 is low on power, the display screen 102 will prompt, and the battery pack 10 can be unplugged and inserted into the charging box 12 for fast charging.
[0069] In addition, the battery pack 10 is equipped with a wireless charging module 11, and the electric tightening tool can be placed on the wireless charging seat to achieve wireless charging without disassembling the battery pack.
[0070] The main controller 1 may be integrated with a spatial positioning module 111 to provide the tool with a spatial positioning function, through which the position of each bolt may be accurately located, the size and specification of each bolt may be identified, and the corresponding program may be automatically switched.
[0071] The main controller 1 may be integrated with a barcode scanning module 112. If there is a barcode on the part to be tightened, the tool can scan the barcode to automatically identify the part, thereby automatically switching to the corresponding program.
[0072] The system has a variety of intelligent functions, such as real-time monitoring and feedback of torque and angle values during the tightening process, intuitive display of tool status and tightening results through display screen 102 and indicator light 110, support for wireless and wired communication methods, large-capacity data storage capabilities, and optional UWB space positioning module 111 to achieve space positioning, code scanning module 112 to achieve automatic identification of components, and wireless charging module 11 to provide a convenient charging method. In addition, the system also focuses on user experience and safety design, such as large-capacity lithium battery pack 10 and charging box 12 to ensure long-term continuous operation requirements. In summary, the intelligent electric tightening tool control system has broad application prospects in rail transit, automobiles, aerospace, wind power, military industry and other fields with its high efficiency, intelligence, convenience and safety.
[0073] The system supports both manual and automatic operation processes. In manual mode, the operator selects preset parameters and operation modes by pressing buttons, and manually unlocks the tool to perform tightening work. In automatic mode, the tool is connected to the control terminal 2 via wireless or serial communication, receives tasks and instructions issued by the control terminal 2, automatically switches preset parameters and operation modes, and uploads tightening data to the control terminal in real time for recording and storage.
[0074] Since the tool can be configured via the button 106, the tool has a manual operation process, such as Figure 3 As shown. In the manual operation process, the operation method is as follows: (1) Turn on the tool. (2) After turning on the tool, the tool enters the main interface. (3) Operate the button 106 to select the preset parameters and operation mode. (4) Operate the button 106 to unlock the electric tightening tool. (5) After the configuration is completed, perform tightening work.
[0075] Since the tool integrates the main controller 1 and the communication module (serial communication module 103, wireless communication module 107), the tool can communicate with the control terminal 2, so the tool has an automatic operation process, such as Figure 4As shown. In the communication mode with the control terminal 2, the operation process is as follows: (1) Configure the electric tightening tool WiFi (the parameters are stored after the first configuration, and there is no need to repeat the configuration if no changes are made). (2) Turn on the tool. (3) Enter the main interface. (4) Control terminal 2 edits the process. (5) Select the process. (6) Send tasks and instructions to the tool. (7) The tool receives the instructions. (8) The tool automatically switches to the preset parameters and operating mode configured by the control terminal 2. (9) The tool is automatically unlocked. (10) The tool automatically subscribes to data. (11) The tool works normally. (12) The tightening data during the tool operation is uploaded to the control terminal 2.
[0076] The torque sensor 8 collects the torque data of the tightening tool in real time, and the encoder 4 obtains the tool rotation angle data, and transmits these data to the main controller 1 for processing. The main controller 1 adopts advanced control algorithms and accurately controls the motor through the motor driver 3 according to the preset tightening program and real-time data.
[0077] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the electric tightening tool can collect the speed, temperature, and current signals of the motor in real time, provide original operation data for the system to control the output torque and system protection, and obtain the actual torque value output through the analog conversion of the torque sensor 8. On the one hand, the motor armature current and motor speed signals are collected to control the motor speed and output torque in real time; on the other hand, the torque value of the motor torque sensor 8 is collected in real time to calibrate the torque accuracy. The electric tightening tool control program achieves higher control accuracy and torque accuracy of the electric tightening tool through torque measurement by strain gauge method and torque control by current method.
[0078] By reasonably adjusting the motor speed and current within the motor's load-bearing power range during the tightening process and referring to the output torque value obtained by torque measurement using the strain gauge method, better torque control accuracy can be obtained, which is more suitable for various application scenarios of "hard connection" and "soft connection" of threaded connection components.
[0079] Compared with the existing technology, the torque sensor strain gauge is used to collect torque to achieve torque accuracy, and the current is controlled to achieve control accuracy, and interactive control is used. The torque accuracy and control accuracy of the electric tightening tool are improved through interactive control, and the three-dimensional space positioning and the station reference point reference are used to achieve the bolt tightening position positioning guidance. Get rid of the external controller and realize direct communication control with the upper layer. Real-time collection and adjustment to achieve better torque control accuracy. Better suitable for soft and hard connection. Ensure that the tightening results are stable and reliable, improve the product assembly quality, and realize the traceability of tightening data.
[0080] Although the above describes the specific implementation mode of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
