When the first component 21 and the second component 22 are fastened, the bushing 33 is fitted into the through hole 221, and the threaded fastener 31 is inserted through the bushing 33 and screwed into the threaded connection hole 32.
As shown in fig. 12, the in-place detection system of the present invention includes a protruding point 321, an acquisition unit, and a determination unit, wherein the protruding point 321 is disposed on an inner wall of the threaded connection hole 32 in butt joint with the threaded fastener 31, and a top of the protruding point 321 is disposed in the bolt connection hole 21, so that the threaded fastener 31 may touch the protruding point 321 when being screwed with the threaded connection hole 32; the acquisition unit is used for acquiring a rotation angle value from the convex point 321 to a set torque in the screwing process of the threaded fastener 31 and the threaded connection hole 32, specifically, as shown in fig. 13, a screw rod part of the threaded fastener 31 is screwed into the threaded connection hole 32 and is screwed with threads in the threaded connection hole 32 so that the screw rod can be screwed into the bolt connection hole 32; as shown in fig. 14, when the end surface of the threaded fastener 31 touches the convex point 321, the blocking of the convex point 321 may cause a certain change in the screwing process of the threaded fastener 31, and according to the change, it is known that the threaded fastener 31 reaches the convex point 321, and the rotation angle of the threaded fastener 31 is recorded or detected from the convex point 321; as shown in fig. 15, the rotation angle is recorded or detected until the threaded fastener 31 is fastened to the set torque, that is, the threaded fastener 31 is screwed to the set torque, and the acquisition unit of the present invention acquires the angle change generated when the threaded fastener 31 is screwed from the convex point 321 to the set torque, that is, the rotation angle value from the convex point 321 to the set torque; the judging unit is connected with the collecting unit and used for comparing the selected angle with the set value, and if the value of the rotation angle is smaller than the set value, the threaded fastener 31 is not fastened in place, so that alarm prompt is performed.
