Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of indicator light technology, and in particular to a non-threaded control signal indicator light. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, especially in assembly processes involving bolt tightening, real-time monitoring and feedback of tightening quality are crucial. Traditional indicator lights only provide a single status indication function, such as simple lighting or flashing to indicate tightening completion. They cannot accurately distinguish between different working conditions, such as whether tightening is satisfactory or not, or fault alarms, making it difficult to meet the needs of automated production for refined management of the tightening process. Furthermore, these indicator lights lack effective interaction with tightening tools, making it impossible to quickly handle abnormal situations in the workflow. For example, if tightening is unsatisfactory, it cannot be reset and restarted in time, impacting production efficiency. Most existing indicator lights have a single communication method with poor compatibility, only able to communicate with the tightening controller via wired connection. This results in complex wiring, low flexibility, and difficulty in adapting to different production environments. Even some products with wireless capabilities only support limited communication protocols, failing to meet the needs of diverse equipment collaborative operations. In addition, traditional indicator lights typically rely on a single power interface, lacking flexible switching. Power failure or interface damage can paralyze the entire indicator system, severely impacting production continuity. Based on this, a threadless, remotely controlled indicator light was designed.

[0018] By adopting the above scheme, this structural design can effectively protect the circuit board, while facilitating its installation and maintenance, and improving the system's stability and maintainability.

[0019] Furthermore, an upper protective cover and a lower protective cover are provided on one side of the controller cover, and the upper protective cover and the lower protective cover are spaced apart, with a second USB-A interface provided between the upper protective cover and the lower protective cover.

[0020] By adopting the above solution, the adapter plug installed on the second USB-A interface becomes more stable and reliable.

[0021] Furthermore, a second USB-A interface is provided at the bottom of the controller cover.

[0022] By adopting the above solution, the flexibility of the interface layout is increased, making it easier for users to select the appropriate interface for connection according to actual needs, and improving the adaptability and scalability of the system.

The controller 2 also features status indicator lights 5 indicating power, WiFi, and USB connection status. These indicators allow operators to intuitively understand the power, WiFi, and USB connection statuses, facilitating timely problem identification and resolution, and improving system maintainability and reliability. The controller 2 also has a three-position knob 4 with left, middle, and right positions. The left position indicates all lights are on, all lights are off, or the tool is disabled; the middle position indicates normal operation; and the right position indicates abandoning, repeating, or skipping the task. The controller 2 also includes a pairing button 7, which facilitates establishing a network connection with the tightening tool or restoring factory settings.

[0046] The controller cover 16 has a controller connecting sleeve 11 at one end near the lamp group 1. The controller connecting sleeve 11 is spirally connected to the lamp group 1, but the connection relationship between them is not limited to this connection method. The style of the controller 2 is not limited to the rectangular aluminum shell in this embodiment; it can be any other reasonable style that can support the lamp group 1. The warning light 22 and buzzer of the lamp group 1 are connected to the circuit board 15 via connecting wires 12.
