[0045] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structural principle of a high-strength bolt tightening device according to a specific embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a high-strength bolt tightening device, including: a tightening component 1, which is connected to the tightening bolt and is used to tighten the high-strength bolt with a specific torque; it also includes a data testing device 2, which is connected to the tightening bolt and the tightening component 1, and is used to measure ultrasonic signals, tightening torque, temperature and high-strength bolt pre-tightening force during calibration; it also includes an analysis and control device 3, which is connected to the tightening component 1 and the data testing device 2, and is used to issue ultrasonic excitation and acquisition instructions, torque acquisition instructions, pressure acquisition instructions, temperature acquisition instructions, tightening instructions, unloading instructions, and is also used to establish a high-strength bolt pre-tightening force identification model, and is also used to calculate the high-strength bolt pre-tightening force according to the collected ultrasonic signal; it also includes a user interaction device 5, which is connected to the analysis and control device 3, and is used for user parameter setting and high-strength bolt tightening status display; it also includes a storage device 4, which is used to store data collected by the data testing device, and is also used to store the high-strength bolt pre-tightening force identification model and pre-tightening force calculated by the analysis and control device 3, and is also used to store related parameters set by the user interaction device 5; it also includes an interface device 6, which is used to power the device, transmit data and export data.

[0046] When using the device to tighten high-strength bolts, first, the device is powered on through the power interface 61, and the interactive operation device 52 is used to select a pre-tightening force identification model with the same material and specification as the bolt to be tightened. If there is no pre-tightening force identification model with the same material and specification as the bolt to be tightened, the model is established; secondly, the sleeve 11 is sleeved on the nut of the bolt to be tightened, and the ultrasonic transducer 23 is an integrated electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer for transmitting and receiving, which adsorbs the top surface of the head of the bolt to be tightened (that is, the side away from the nut) and is connected to the ultrasonic transducer interface 63, and the interactive operation is used. The operation device 52 selects the tightening mode, inputs the tightening bolt number, position, tightening preload, torque increase rate, and clamping length; then, the interactive operation device 52 confirms the start of tightening, the analysis and control device 3 sends a torque acquisition instruction, an ultrasonic excitation and acquisition instruction, and a temperature acquisition instruction to the data testing device 2, the torque acquisition device 22 collects the tightening torque measured by the torque sensor 21 at a specific sampling rate, and transmits it to the analysis and control device 3 and the display device 51, and the analysis and control device 3 sends a torque acquisition instruction to the motor 15 according to the tightening torque. A tightening instruction is issued, so that the motor 15 increases the tightening torque at a set torque increase rate to tighten the tightening bolt.

The temperature acquisition device 28 built into the ultrasonic excitation and acquisition device 24 acquires the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 27 built into the ultrasonic transducer 23 at a specific sampling rate, and transmits it to the analysis and control device 3 and the display device 51; finally, the analysis and control device 3 inputs the ultrasonic echo sound time, temperature, and clamping length into the pre-tightening force identification model to obtain the real pre-tightening force of the tightening bolt, and the real pre-tightening force is displayed in real time through the display device 51. When the real pre-tightening force reaches the set tightening pre-tightening force value, the motor 15 stops outputting power, and the tightening is completed. The pre-tightening force identification model, the tightening bolt number, position, tightening pre-tightening force, torque increase rate, clamping length, maximum tightening torque, ultrasonic signal and echo sound time, temperature are all stored in the storage device, and can be exported through the data export interface 64.

[0047] When using the device to establish a high-strength bolt preload identification model, first, the interactive operation device 52 is used to select a calibration mode, a new high-strength bolt preload identification model is created, and model parameters are input, including high-strength bolt specifications and materials.Secondly, the sleeve 11 is installed on the nut of the high-strength bolt being tightened; the ultrasonic transducer 23 is installed on the top surface of the head of the high-strength bolt being tightened, and is connected to the ultrasonic interface 63; the pressure sensor 25 is installed on the bottom surface of the head of the high-strength bolt being tightened, that is, the side of the head of the high-strength bolt close to the nut, and is connected to the pressure sensor interface 62; the interactive operation device 52 is used to set and calibrate the high-strength bolt number, position, tightening preload, torque increase rate, and clamping length; then, the interactive operation device 52 is used to confirm the start of tightening, and the analysis and control device 2 sends a torque acquisition instruction, a pressure acquisition instruction, and a temperature acquisition instruction to the data testing device 2. The torque acquisition device 22 collects the tightening torque measured by the torque sensor 21 at a specific sampling rate and transmits it. The analysis and control device 3 and the display device 51 are inputted, and the analysis and control device 3 sends a tightening instruction to the motor 15 according to the tightening torque, so that the motor 15 increases the tightening torque at the set torque increase rate to tighten the tightening bolt, and the pressure collection device 26 and the temperature collection device 28 built into the ultrasonic excitation and collection device 24 collect the high-strength bolt preload and temperature measured by the pressure sensor 25 and the temperature sensor 27 built into the ultrasonic transducer 23 at a specific sampling rate, and transmit them to the analysis and control device 3 and the display device 51. When the increase in the high-strength bolt preload measured by the pressure sensor 25 reaches one tenth of the tightening preload, the analysis and control device 3 sends an ultrasonic excitation and collection instruction to the ultrasonic excitation and collection device 24, and the ultrasonic excitation and collection device 24 collects the high-strength bolt preload and temperature measured by the pressure sensor 25 and the temperature sensor 27 built into the ultrasonic transducer 23 at a specific sampling rate, and transmits them to the analysis and control device 3 and the display device 51. When the increase in the high-strength bolt preload measured by the pressure sensor 25 reaches one tenth of the tightening preload, the analysis and control device 3 sends an ultrasonic excitation and collection instruction to the ultrasonic excitation and collection device 24. The acoustic excitation and acquisition device 24 sends a specific excitation ultrasonic signal to the ultrasonic transducer 23, and collects the ultrasonic signal and temperature in the tightened bolt at a specific sampling rate, and transmits them to the analysis and control device 3. When the pre-tightening force measured by the pressure sensor 25 reaches the set tightening pre-tightening force, the calibration of the high-strength bolt is completed, and the motor 15 reverses until the pre-tightening force measured by the pressure sensor 25 is zero. The motor 15 stops outputting power, and the sleeve 11, the ultrasonic transducer 23, and the pressure sensor 25 are taken out. The analysis and control device 3 uses the high-strength bolt pre-tightening force and the corresponding ultrasonic sound time, clamping length, and temperature as training sets, performs model training, and generates a pre-tightening force recognition model; finally, the next high-strength bolt is selected to be tightened to verify the pre-tightening force recognition model. Model accuracy, repeat the above operation, input the ultrasonic sound time, clamping length and temperature measured at each level of pre-tightening force of the bolt into the established pre-tightening force identification model, calculate the deviation value between the pre-tightening force output by the model and the actual pre-tightening force, when the maximum deviation is less than the threshold value, the established pre-tightening force identification model meets the requirements and can be used as the pre-tightening force identification model of the high-strength bolts of this specification and material, and the calibration of the high-strength bolts is completed. When the maximum deviation is greater than the threshold value, the analysis and control device 3 adds the pre-tightening force at each level of the high-strength bolt and the corresponding ultrasonic sound time, clamping length and temperature to the training set, retrains the model, obtains a new pre-tightening force identification model, selects the next high-strength bolt to tighten, until the maximum deviation is less than the threshold value, the calibration is completed, and the pre-tightening force identification model is established.
