[0026] One end of the gear tail power line 10 is provided with a ground wire 45, and the other end of the ground wire 45 is connected to the clutch 5.
[0027] In specific implementation of this utility model:
[0028] Connect the main power line 46 and the tail power line 10, then connect to the mains power through the main power line 46, and transmit the power to the circuit board 3 through the tail power line 10. The start and stop of the motor 4 are controlled by the start switch 9, and the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 4 is controlled by the forward and reverse rotation switch 8.
[0029] When the electric screwdriver is working, the motor 4 is powered and rotates, which drives the transmission shaft 7 to rotate via the clutch 5 and the reduction torque converter 6. This drives the screwdriver bit installed in the screwdriver bit socket 31 to rotate and tighten the screw. After the screw is tightened, the spring cover 21, the torsion spring 20, and the thrust plate 22 will vibrate up and down and move up and down along the transmission shaft 7. During the movement of the spring cover 21, the stop steel ball 40 will be pressed into the first blind hole 15. Then the stop steel ball 40 will enter the groove of the goblet-shaped stop block 27, which will then press the goblet-shaped stop block 27 to move towards the motor 4. The goblet-shaped stop block 27 will push the switch guide rod 12 through the ceramic rod 23. The switch guide rod 12 will touch the micro switch 11. When the switch guide rod 12 and the micro switch 11 are in contact, the circuit board 3 will control the motor 4 to cut off the power, thereby stopping the application of torque to the screw and better protecting the screw and the parts with the screw in it.
[0030] When adjusting the torque, rotating the torque adjusting ring 26 in the forward direction will cause the torque adjusting ring 26 to press down the torque adjusting rod 37. One end of the torque adjusting rod 37 will then press down the thrust plate 22, which in turn presses down the torque spring 20, causing the torque spring 20 to be compressed and thus increasing the torque. Rotating the torque adjusting ring 26 in the reverse direction will decrease the torque.
