Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to tools for tightening fasteners, specifically to a wireless electric tightening tool. Background Technology

[0002] Electric tightening tools, also known as electric wrenches, are generally handheld. An electric wrench is a tool that uses electrical energy to tighten or loosen bolts and nuts. It primarily works by transmitting torque from a motor, which is then transmitted to a socket via a reduction gear and other transmission devices. This causes the socket to rotate rapidly, thus tightening or loosening the bolt or nut. Its working principle is based on the rotational motion of the motor, which is transmitted to the working end through an internal mechanical structure. Currently, electric tightening tools require physical buttons for operation. While a few electric wrenches now have screens, they still require physical buttons. However, in practice, physical buttons are numerous and inconvenient to use. Similarly, touchscreens are relatively small and difficult to operate. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a wireless electric tightening tool, including a sensor 1, a reducer 2, a motor 3, a bit 4, and a handle assembly 5. The motor 3 is installed on the top of the handle assembly 5. The reducer 2 is connected to the output end of the motor 3. The reducer 2 and the motor 3 are connected on the outside by a locking nut 7. The bit 4 is installed on the other end of the reducer 2. The sensor 1 is installed between the motor 3 and the reducer 2. The motor 3 drives the reducer 2 to work, and the reducer 2 drives the bit 4 to work. The sensor is used to collect torque.

[0029] A screen display module 6 is installed at the rear end of the motor 3. The screen display module 6 includes a screen housing 8, a screen 9, a PCBA board 10, a dial 11, and an encoder 12. The encoder 12 is a rotary encoder. The screen housing 8 is installed at the rear end of the motor 3, the PCBA board 10 is installed inside the screen housing 8, the encoder 12 is installed inside an encoder bracket 13, and the encoder bracket 13 is installed at the front end of the screen housing 8. One end of the dial 11 is installed inside the encoder 12. Rotating the dial 11 drives a part inside the encoder 12 to rotate, thus achieving the toggle switching. The encoder 12 is connected to the PCBA board 10 via a cable, and the PCBA board 10 is connected to the screen 9 via a cable. The other end of the dial 11 is located below the microswitch 14 on the PCBA board 10. Driving the dial 11 to rotate or pushing the dial 11 upwards causes the rotor inside the encoder 12 to rotate, thus achieving the toggle. This invention uses a scrolling interaction mode to make the user interface menu operation faster and more efficient.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, the dial 11 includes a dial 15, a first connecting post 16, and a second connecting post 17. The first connecting post 16 and the second connecting post 17 are disposed on both sides of the dial 15. The first connecting post 16 is installed in the groove 121 in the middle of the encoder 12, and the second connecting post 17 is located below the micro switch 14. When the dial 15 is pushed upward, the second connecting post 17 moves upward and contacts the micro switch 14. The micro switch 14 is used to confirm the user interface menu, and rotating the dial 15 is used to select the user interface menu. This utility model does not require touch screen operation on the screen housing 8, nor does it require the installation of operation buttons, making it convenient to operate.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the connecting post 16 is a regular hexagon, and the cross-section of the groove 121 in the middle of the encoder is also a regular hexagon. The regular hexagonal design eliminates the need for fasteners for connection.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the encoder bracket 13 is provided with an encoder placement groove 131, and the encoder 12 is placed in the encoder placement groove 131.

The third connecting post 19 connects the dial 15 and the first connecting post 16, and the fourth connecting post 20 connects the second connecting post 17 and the dial 15. The dial 15, the second connecting post 17, the third connecting post 19, and the fourth connecting post 20 are all cylinders. The diameter of the second connecting post 17 is larger than that of the fourth connecting post 20. The encoder bracket 13 is provided with a through groove 132, through which the third connecting post 19 passes. The diameter of the through groove 132 is larger than that of the third connecting post 19, and the third connecting post 19 can move slightly up and down at the through groove 132.

[0037] The rear end of the screen housing 8 is provided with a screen mounting slot 82 and a screen protective cover mounting slot 83. The screen 9 is installed in the screen mounting slot 83, and the screen protective cover 21 is installed in the screen protective cover mounting slot 83. The screen protective cover 21 is located on the outside of the screen 9. The screen protective cover 21 is used to protect the screen.

[0038] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model.
