[0020] Additionally, in the following description, specific details are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the examples. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the aspects described may be practiced without these specific details.

[0021] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an installation tool based on preload force. First, the installer operates a host computer program to issue installation parameters of the installed smart bolts, including load coefficient, temperature coefficient, upper and lower limits of preload force, preload target force value, upper and lower limits of torque, etc.; secondly, the installer operates the installation tool, and the sleeve head is placed on the position of the installed bolt nut to ensure that the measuring probe is in contact with the center ring of the smart bolt sensor; after waiting for the display screen to display stable sound time data, the zero button is pressed, and the control system records the current sound time as the initial sound time, and the current temperature as the initial temperature; again, the installation button is pressed, and the control system enters the preload force closed-loop control process after detecting the installation start signal.

[0022] More specifically, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the process of the installation tool control method based on preload force provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, at step S110, the initial sound time and the initial temperature are preset.

[0024] More specifically, the initial sound time setting range is 1000-99999, in ns; the initial temperature setting range is -50-100°C.

[0025] More specifically, the process proceeds to step S120.

[0026] In step S120, when a preload force measurement instruction is received, a high voltage pulse is excited to act on the sensor to generate an echo signal.

[0027] More specifically, the high voltage pulse is provided with a voltage source by a high voltage power supply module, and the control system controls the MOS tube to trigger and generate a negative voltage pulse; the voltage range is 10-300VDC, and the pulse width is 1-20ns.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes: amplifying and filtering the echo signal. For example, the filtering adopts a median filtering method, specifically collecting N data, sorting the data, and sorting the N / 2th data as the final output data.

[0029] More specifically, the control system sends a preload measurement instruction to the preload detection system; the preload detection system receives the instruction, performs high-voltage pulse excitation, acts on the sensor, generates ultrasonic waves, and the ultrasonic waves fly back and act on the sensor to generate weak electrical signals, which are then amplified and filtered to generate usable echo signals. The TDC calculates the acoustic time difference and returns the acoustic time difference to the control system.

[0030] Next, go to step S130.

[0031] In step S130 , the ultrasound flight time is calculated based on the echo signal.

[0032] Next, go to step S140.

[0033] At step S140 , the real-time preload force is calculated based on the initial acoustic time, the initial temperature, the real-time detected ultrasonic flight time and the real-time detected temperature.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, the control system calculates the preload value according to the initial sound time, the initial temperature, the real-time detection ultrasonic flight time, and the real-time detection temperature in combination with the calculation formula, and calculates the real-time preload based on the following formula: )*K; in, Fr is the real-time preload; D1 When it is the initial sound; T1 is the initial temperature; K is the load factor; B is the temperature coefficient; D2For real-time detection of ultrasonic flight time; T2 For real-time detection of temperature.

[0035] Next, go to step S150.

[0036] At step S150, calculate the pre-tightening force difference according to the target pre-tightening force and the real-time pre-tightening force.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the control system calculates the pre-tightening force difference according to the target pre-tightening force and the real-time pre-tightening force, including: ; Wherein, is the pre-tightening force difference; Fr is the real-time pre-tightening force; Ft is the target pre-tightening force.

[0038] Next, go to step S160.

[0039] At step S160, control the rotation of the motor based on the target pre-tightening force and the pre-tightening force difference to install the bolt.

[0040] More specifically, the control system controls the rotation of the brushless motor according to the pre-tightening force target value Ft, the magnitude of the pre-tightening force difference , the predetermined maximum speed Vmax, the predetermined minimum speed Vmin, the rated current value I of the motor, the real-time torque value Tr, and the torque protection value Tp.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, the controlling the rotation of the motor based on the target pre-tightening force and the pre-tightening force difference includes: When < 0.4*Ft, and Tr < Tp, control the motor to operate at 1*Vmax, 0.2*I; When 0.4*Ft < < 0.8*Ft, and Tr < Tp, control the motor to operate at *Vmax, *I; When > 0.8*Ft, and Tr < Tp, control the motor to operate at Vmin, I; When Tr > Tp, control the motor to stop operating; Wherein, is the pre-tightening force difference; Fr is the real-time pre-tightening force; Ft is the target pre-tightening force; Vmax is the maximum motor speed setting; Vmin is the minimum motor speed setting; I is the motor setting current; Tr is the real-time torque value; Tp is the torque protection value.

[0042] More specifically, if the set preload target value is not reached, the high speed and low torque output by the brushless motor is converted to low speed and high torque through the reduction mechanism, and then acts on the smart bolt through the transmission mechanism and sleeve, and the bolt is rotated for installation. The control system uploads the real-time installation process value to the host computer program and enters S120 again to perform the preload closed-loop control process. If the set preload target value is reached, the control system uploads the final installation result value to the host computer program. This installation is completed.

[0043] The control system sends a torque measurement command to the torque detection system; the torque measurement system receives the command, performs analog-to-digital conversion, and reads the real-time torque value.

[0044] Next, go to step S170.

[0045] In step S170, it is determined whether the real-time preload force reaches the target preload force after the motor rotates; when the real-time preload force does not reach the target preload force, S120-S170 are repeated; when the real-time preload force reaches the target preload force, the installation is completed.

[0046] The installation tool control method based on preload force proposed by the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Improve installation quality By precisely controlling the installation parameters through preload force and providing real-time feedback, the installation accuracy is improved, the installation quality of components is guaranteed, and the reliability of the entire product is improved.

[0047] 2. Reduce labor intensity and skill requirements The ergonomic handle design reduces hand fatigue, and the intelligent control eliminates the need for operators to rely heavily on experience, reducing the requirement for operators’ skill levels.

[0048] 3. Facilitate quality traceability and process improvement The data recording and analysis functions provide strong support for quality control and process optimization, which is conducive to timely discovery of problems and taking improvement measures to improve the level of production management.

[0050] The parameter preset module 910 is used to preset the initial sound time and the initial temperature; The measuring module 920 is used to perform high-voltage pulse excitation upon receiving a preload measurement instruction, and act on the sensor to generate an echo signal; The calculation module 930 is configured to calculate the ultrasonic flight time based on the echo signal; calculate the real-time pre-tightening force based on the initial acoustic time, the initial temperature, the real-time detected ultrasonic flight time, and the real-time detected temperature; and calculate the pre-tightening force difference according to the target pre-tightening force and the real-time pre-tightening force. The control module 940 is configured to control the rotation of the motor based on the target pre-tightening force and the pre-tightening force difference to install the bolt. The judgment module 950 is configured to judge whether the real-time pre-tightening force reaches the target pre-tightening force after the motor rotates; wherein, when the real-time pre-tightening force does not reach the target pre-tightening force, the installation of the bolt is repeated; when the real-time pre-tightening force reaches the target pre-tightening force, the installation is completed.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the system further includes: A motor control module, configured to when <0.4*Ft, and Tr < Tp, control the motor to run at 1*Vmax, 0.2*I; when 0.4*Ft < <0.8*Ft, and Tr < Tp, control the motor to run at *Vmax, *I; when >0.8*Ft, and Tr < Tp, control the motor to run at Vmin, I; when Tr > Tp, control the motor to stop running; Wherein, is the pre-tightening force difference; Fr is the real-time pre-tightening force; Ft is the target pre-tightening force; Vmax is the maximum value of the motor speed setting; Vmin is the minimum value of the motor speed setting; I is the set current of the motor; Tr is the real-time torque value; Tp is the torque protection value.

[0052] The present invention will be described in detail below through embodiments.

[0053] I. This handheld intelligent installation tool mainly consists of a transmission system, a power and drive system, a pre-tightening force detection system, a torque detection system, a control system, and a housing, etc.

[0054] a) Transmission system The transmission system includes a planetary gear reducer and a torque transmission shaft. The planetary gear reducer is used to convert the high-speed, low-torque output of the motor into a low-speed, high-torque output to meet the needs of the installation operation. The torque transmission shaft is made of high-strength alloy steel, and its surface is specially treated, having good wear resistance and torsional strength. It accurately transmits the decelerated torque to the working end of the installation tool.

[0055] b) Power and drive system The power source is a high-performance brushless servo motor with adjustable speed and torque output characteristics. The drive system is designed with STM32F4 as the control core, Infineon IRF7842 as the drive circuit core, and a magnetic encoder as the position detection core. The motor drive control circuit controls the servo motor to achieve precise position control based on the pulse and direction signals sent by the upper control board.

[0056] c) Preload force detection system It includes adjustable high-voltage power supply module circuit, high-voltage pulse drive circuit, limit protection circuit, high-speed op amp circuit, active filter circuit, TDC circuit, MCU main control circuit, etc. It is built with TDC chip as the core, and the single-chip microcomputer is used as the main control.

[0057] d) Torque detection system It includes a torque sensor and a torque detection circuit, wherein the torque sensor adopts a static torque sensor, which is connected between the reducer and the housing, and applies force to the torque sensor according to the principle of action and reaction force; the torque detection circuit includes a signal conditioning circuit, an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, and a power supply circuit. The signal conditioning circuit realizes amplification and filtering of weak signals of the sensor, the analog-to-digital conversion circuit realizes conversion of analog quantity into digital quantity, and the power supply circuit provides a low-noise, low-ripple power supply for the detection circuit.

[0058] e) Control system Receives signals from the preload detection system and torque detection system, and controls the motor speed and torque output to accurately control the preload according to the stored preload control algorithm, the preset preload value and real-time sensor data. When the preset preload is reached, the control unit will immediately stop the motor to prevent over-tightening.

[0059] f) Housing The main body of the shell is made of aluminum alloy, which has good wear resistance and ergonomic design.

[0061] b) Control during installation During the installation process, the preload detection system and torque detection system detect the preload and torque changes in real time. The control unit controls the torque output of the motor by adjusting the motor current according to the preset preload value and torque monitoring range and other parameters. If the detected real-time preload value is close to the preset value, the control unit will gradually reduce the motor speed to more accurately control the preload until the motor stops rotating when the preset value is reached.

[0062] c) Data recording and feedback During the entire installation process, the control system collects and records various parameter information in real time. After installation, the control system transmits the data to the application program for viewing and analysis via wired or wireless means.
