Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw fastening technology, and in particular to a screw fastening device for a corrugated guardrail panel. Background Technology
[0002] During the construction of corrugated guardrails, the tightening of screws is a crucial step, directly affecting the safety of highway traffic. In recent years, with the comprehensive implementation of highway guardrail upgrading projects, corrugated guardrails have been upgraded from two waves to three waves, a change that presents greater challenges to construction. When installing three-wave guardrail panels, the splicing screw locations of the square tube anti-blocking blocks are relatively concealed, making it difficult to operate an electric wrench in confined spaces. This necessitates relying on manual open-end wrenches for multiple tightening operations, a method with the following drawbacks:
[0003] Low work efficiency: The torque output of manual operation is unstable, requiring repeated adjustment of the wrench angle, and the tightening cycle of a single screw is extended by more than 40%;
[0004] Construction quality risks: Manual operation makes it difficult to ensure torque consistency, with measured torque deviation reaching ±20%, affecting anti-loosening performance;
[0005] Ergonomic defects: Operating in confined spaces can easily cause tools to slip, posing a safety hazard.
[0006] To address the drawbacks of manual operation, existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with patent publication number CN214870160U and patent name "A Tool for Tightening Guardrail Bolts", use an electric drill to tighten or loosen the bolts. Although this improves heat dissipation, it still uses a direct-drive structure and does not solve the problem of space adaptability, so it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-2 As an embodiment of this utility model, a screw fastening device for a wave-shaped guardrail is provided. The device includes a power mechanism 100 and a transmission mechanism 200, which realizes efficient screw fastening in a narrow space.
[0031] The core of the power mechanism 100 is the electric wrench 101. The electric wrench 101 is a brushless electric wrench, which has the advantages of less heat generation, higher operating efficiency, larger maximum output torque, lower noise and durability compared with traditional electric wrenches. The hand grip of the electric wrench 101 is equipped with a start handle 102 for easy operation by the operator. The front end of the start handle 102 is provided with a transmission head 103, which has a square structure and is designed to connect with the drive gear 203 of the transmission mechanism 200.
[0032] The transmission mechanism 200 includes a gear set and a transmission housing 201; a transmission cavity 2011 is provided inside the transmission housing 201, and the gear set is rotatably installed in the transmission cavity 2011 to ensure stable operation and effective protection of the gear set; a screw head sleeve 202 and a control groove 2031 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the transmission cavity 2011, and the screw head sleeve 202 is used to fit on the screw head to achieve screw fastening.
[0033] Specifically, the gear set includes a drive gear 203, a large gear 204, a small gear 205, and a fastening gear ring 206. The drive gear 203 has a control groove 2031 adapted to the structure of the transmission head 103. The bottom of the transmission head 103 is embedded in the control groove 2031, so that the electric wrench 101 can drive the drive gear 203 to rotate through the transmission head 103. The drive gear 203 is meshed with the large gear 204 on one side, and the large gear 204 is meshed with two sets of small gears 205. These two sets of small gears 205 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower parts of one side of the large gear 204, which enhances the stability of the transmission and the output of torque. The small gears 205 are meshed with the fastening gear ring 206, and the fastening gear ring 206 is fixedly connected to the screw head sleeve 202. The screw head sleeve 202 has a screw receiving groove 2021 for connecting to the screw head.
[0034] In actual use: The operator attaches the screw slot 2021 of the device to the screw head, and then holds the start handle 102 to insert the square end of the transmission head 103 of the electric wrench 101 into the control slot 2031 of the drive gear 203. The electric wrench 101 is triggered by the start handle 102, and the output shaft of the electric wrench 101 drives the transmission head 103 to rotate. The drive gear 203 drives the large gear 204 to rotate, and the large gear 204 drives two sets of small gears 205. Through the fastening gear ring 206, the screw head sleeve 202 rotates. The screw slot 2021 forms a surface contact with the screw head, outputting precise torque. When the torque value reaches the preset threshold, the electric wrench 101 automatically stops (this is a direct application of the control program of the electric wrench 101 in the prior art, and the specific working principle will not be described here). The operator can then remove the device from the screw head.
[0035] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.
[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
