Especially with the rapid development of industries such as automobiles, 3C products, aerospace, precision machinery and medical equipment, the requirements for the assembly of precision parts are becoming increasingly higher.

[0003] Although traditional electric screwdrivers can perform basic tightening and loosening operations, they have some limitations in actual use. For example, they lack control over the tightening precision of screws, which can easily lead to excessive or insufficient torque.

[0004] With the development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, higher requirements are placed on the precise control, data recording and human-computer interaction of electric batch machines.

[0005] Although the existing electric screwdrivers are equipped with force detection structures, these structures are all set on the main shaft outside the shell and are connected to an external controller, which then controls the motor of the electric screwdriver.

Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

The term "along a certain direction" does not imply that the component must be absolutely parallel to that direction; rather, it can be offset, meaning that a component in that direction is sufficient.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections, electrical connections, electromagnetic connections, or even communication connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] In addition, the term "and / or" in this application, such as "Feature 1 and / or Feature 2", refers to the possibility of "Feature 1" alone, "Feature 2" alone, or "Feature 1 plus Feature 2". The term "and / or" in this application, such as "Feature 1 and / or Feature 2", refers to the possibility of "Feature 1" alone, "Feature 2" alone, or "Feature 1 plus Feature 2".

[0045] Compared with the prior art, in the electric screwdriver 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the force detection component 50 is respectively connected to the shell 10 and the transmission structure 30, so that the force detection component 50 can detect the rotational torque of the position in the transmission structure 30, and can transmit the detected torque data to the control board 70 inside the screwdriver in real time, so as to realize the torque closed-loop control of the electric screwdriver 1 in the original current control at the same time, thereby achieving more rapid and accurate control and adjustment of the output torque.

[0046] The above disclosure is only a preferred example of the present application, and its purpose is to facilitate the understanding and implementation of those skilled in the art. However, it cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made within the scope recorded in the present application still fall within the scope covered by the present application.
