DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following describes in detail a rebar sleeve torque constant control device provided by the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It is also noted that, to provide a more detailed description, the following embodiments are optimal and preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art may employ alternative implementations for certain known technologies. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are intended only to provide a more detailed description of the embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a steel sleeve torque constant control device, comprising: a housing 1; a drive assembly 2, arranged in the housing 1; a rotating rod 5, one end of which is arranged on the drive assembly 2, and the other end passes through the housing 1; a gearbox 3, arranged on the rotating rod 5, and the gearbox 3 is connected to the housing 1, for adjusting the speed and torque ratio of the rotating rod 5; a torque sensor 4, arranged on the rotating rod 5, for real-time monitoring of the torque size borne by the rotating rod 5; a torque controller 8, arranged on the housing 1, and the torque controller 8 is electrically connected to the torque sensor 4 and the drive assembly 2; a quick connector 6, arranged at one end of the rotating rod 5 away from the housing 1, for quickly connecting and protecting the rotating rod 5; a steel bar quick clamping mechanism 7, arranged on the quick connector 6, for different types of steel bars to achieve quick clamping.

[0024] By providing the shell 1 and providing a universal wheel at the bottom of the shell 1, the entire steel sleeve torque constant control device can easily change direction, making it mobile. The shell 1 is small in size and has a universal wheel at the bottom, which greatly enhances its ability to operate in narrow spaces, such as some narrow passages or corners in a prefabricated component production workshop; by providing a quick connector 6, it has the effect of soft connection, which compensates for the misalignment between the output shaft of the reducer 22 and the steel end, protects the rotating rod 5, one end of the quick connector 6 is connected to the rotating rod 5, and the other end is connected to the steel fast clamping mechanism 7. The quick connector 6 can adopt a plum blossom coupling. When there is a misalignment, the quick connector 6 can be connected to the steel fast clamping mechanism 7. The quick connector 6 can be adjusted through the elasticity and deformability of the plum blossom coupling, reducing the risk of damage to the rotating rod 5 due to eccentricity, while ensuring the effective transmission of power; the quick connector 6 can also adopt an elastic sleeve pin coupling, which is composed of an elastic sleeve, a pin and two half-couplings. The elastic sleeve is generally made of elastic materials such as rubber, and is sleeved on the pin. The pin is installed in the corresponding holes of the two half-couplings. When the torque is transmitted, the elastic sleeve will undergo elastic deformation, thereby compensating for the relative displacement between the two shafts, including axial, radial and angular displacement. At the same time, the elastic deformation can also play a role in buffering and shock absorption, and play a certain protective role for the connected equipment.

[0025] The torque value can be set according to the steel bar model. The specific setting values ​​are shown in the table:

[0026] Steel bar diameter (mm) ≤16 18~20 22~25 28~32 36~40 Tightening torque N·M 100 200 260 320 360

[0027] Drive assembly 2 includes a motor 21, housed within housing 1, which provides a power source. Motor 21, acting as a power source for the rebar sleeve torque control device, converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, powering the entire tightening operation. When torque sensor 4 detects that the tightening torque reaches a preset value, torque controller 8 promptly instructs motor 21 to stop, preventing overtightening.

[0028] The invention also includes a reducer 22, which is arranged in the housing 1 and is connected to the output end of the motor 21. The rotating rod 5 is connected to the reducer 22 and is used to adjust the speed of the motor 21 and increase the torque. By setting the reducer 22, its function is to adjust the speed of the motor 21. The reducer 22 can reduce the high speed of the motor 21 to an appropriate value so that the rotation speed of the rotating rod 5 meets the requirements of the tightening operation. For example, for a steel sleeve with a smaller diameter, a lower speed may be required to ensure the accuracy and stability of tightening; while for a steel sleeve with a larger diameter, a slightly higher but still moderate speed may be required. The reducer 22 can flexibly adjust the speed of the rotating rod 5 according to actual needs. At the same time, the reducer 22 can also increase the torque. Through internal gear transmission or other transmission methods, the torque of the motor 21 can be amplified, thereby providing sufficient force for the tightening operation; and cooperate with the rotating rod 5 and the steel bar quick clamping mechanism 7 to output the steel bar in the horizontal direction.

[0029] The motor 21 further comprises a controller body 9, which is disposed on the housing 1, and a torque controller 8 which is electrically connected to the drive assembly 2 and is used to control the operation of the drive assembly 2. By providing the controller body 9, instructions can be sent to the motor 21 to adjust the speed and output power of the motor 21 according to different working requirements.

[0030] The steel bar quick clamping mechanism 7 includes: a mounting frame 71, which is arranged on the quick connector 6, and one end of the mounting frame 71 is tooth-shaped; a clamping block 73, which is rotatably arranged in the mounting frame 71, the clamping block 73 is L-shaped, and the clamping block 73 is provided with teeth at one end close to the mounting frame 71.

[0031] By setting up a steel bar quick clamping mechanism 7, it is adapted to different types of steel bars and realizes quick clamping. One end of the steel bar is clamped in the steel bar quick clamping mechanism 7, and the other end is in various forms, including being cast in concrete / fixed by an artificial clamp-like device. The steel bar quick clamping mechanism 7 can also adopt a wedge-shaped clamping mechanism to fix the steel bar. It is composed of a wedge block and a clamping seat that matches it. The wedge block usually has a certain tilt angle, and the clamping seat has an inclined surface that matches the wedge block. When the steel bar is placed in the clamping seat, the wedge block moves along the inclined surface under external force. Due to the inclined surface of the wedge block, a lateral clamping force is generated on the steel bar. As the wedge block moves further, the clamping force gradually increases, thereby realizing quick clamping of the steel bar. This structure can adapt to steel bars of different diameters by adjusting the moving distance of the wedge block. For steel bars with smaller diameters, the wedge block can achieve clamping by moving a smaller distance; for steel bars with larger diameters, the wedge block needs to move a larger distance to provide sufficient clamping force.

[0032] It also includes: a limiting frame 72, which is arranged on the mounting frame 71; a ratchet rod 74, one end of which is rotatably arranged in the mounting frame 71 and connected to the clamping block 73, and the other end extends into the limiting frame 72; a clamping strip 76, which is rotatably arranged in the limiting frame 72, and the clamping strip 76 is configured to prevent the ratchet rod 74 from rotating in the opposite direction when in contact with the ratchet rod 74.

[0033] When the locking cam 72 is in the unlocked position, the locking cam 72 is in the unlocked position, and the locking cam 72 is in the unlocked position, so that the locking cam 72 is locked.

[0034] The clamping block 73 is further comprised of a spring 77, one end of which is mounted on a clamping bar 76 and the other end of which is connected to the limiting frame 72; and a pull block 75, which is mounted on the limiting frame 72 and connected to the clamping bar 76 via a pull cord. When the ratchet lever 74 needs to rotate in the opposite direction, the pull block 75 is pulled, which drives the clamping bar 76 to rotate via the pull cord, disengaging the clamping bar 76 from the ratchet lever 74, thereby causing the ratchet lever 74 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby adjusting the angle of the clamping block 73 according to actual needs.

[0035] When the clamping block 73 is adjusted to the desired angle, the pull block 75 is released, and the clamping strip 76 is brought into contact with the ratchet rod 74 to prevent the ratchet rod 74 from rotating in the opposite direction. One end of the steel bar is inserted between the mounting frame 71 and the clamping block 73, and the steel bar is clamped by the friction of the teeth. The controller is used to adjust the clamping block 73 to the desired angle. The main body 9 starts the motor 21, and the power of the motor 21 is transmitted to the rotating rod 5 through the reducer 22, and is decelerated and the torque is increased through the gearbox 3. The rotating rod 5 rotates, driving the quick connector 6 to rotate, thereby causing the steel bar quick clamping mechanism 7 and the steel bar to rotate, and start tightening the sleeve; during the tightening process, the torque sensor 4 monitors the torque size of the rotating rod 5 in real time, and transmits the data to the torque controller 8. When the preset torque value is reached, the torque controller 8 will automatically stop the operation of the motor 21 to ensure that each tightening meets the standard requirements.

[0036] This invention encompasses any alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this invention. While specific details are described in detail in the preferred embodiments of this invention to provide a thorough understanding, those skilled in the art will be able to fully understand this invention without these details. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail.

[0037] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
