Definitions

  • the screw connection is the most commonly used connection in mechanical engineering. Such fasteners can only be effective through the use of suitable assembly tools.
  • suitable assembly tools include torque tools, as mentioned above. Torque tools are needed to apply a specific torque to a workpiece. Torque tools such as torque wrench or torque screwdrivers are known.
  • Torque tools are used to load a bolt with a high preload force that is within the elastic range of the bolt or also to load the bolt with only slight preload forces.
  • new construction materials such as Magnesium, aluminum or plastic, especially for lightweight construction in the automotive or aircraft industry, can increase both the demand and the requirements for torque tools. These new materials increase the number of sensitive screw connections. The lower tensile strength of these lightweight materials compared to steel materials, would lead to damage the thread in an overuse of the screw, which would make these expensive components unusable.
  • a magnetic coil surrounding the locking bolt is energized in such a way that the ferromagnetic locking bolt releases from the locking recess against a spring force.
  • the spring force is used to reset the locking bolt after triggering back to its original state.
  • the US patent US 6,526,853 B2 which is considered as the closest prior art, describes an electromechanically triggering torque wrench with an electronic control unit and a transmitter. Torques measured by the transmitter are detected and amplified as analog electronic signals by the electronic control unit. Upon reaching a predetermined release torque, the control unit via a circuit to an electromagnet, which mechanically acts on a locking mechanism and thus triggers the torque wrench. There is a noticeable force reduction by the user and an audible click is generated. In the US 6,119,562 become additional locking mechanisms for the torque wrench US 6,526,853 B2 disclosed.
  • the publication DE196 37 067 A1 describes a torque wrench with torque sensors, acceleration sensors and an electronic evaluation device for measured values from these sensors.
  • a rotation angle acceleration is detected, which is used by the evaluation device for determining the rotation angle.
  • a rotation angle measurement can be carried out, for example, when a predetermined torque is reached.
  • the instantaneous torque is detected by the torque sensors.
  • a mechanical triggering torque wrench with detection means for detecting a predetermined release torque at a triggering and transmitting means for transmitting this information to an external receiving unit is shown.
  • the receiving unit checks and documents the respectively set release torque as a control during an assembly process.
  • the known torque wrenches have the disadvantage that the electrically controlled locking mechanisms, as used in the prior art, have a high energy requirement. This is because with the use of coils for the electromagnets strong energy consumers are integrated in the torque wrench. With conventional batteries or accumulators, therefore, only relatively few or no releases of the torque wrench can be carried out. However, the locking bolts must be sufficiently dimensioned so as not to deform immediately when torque is applied. For each release, this locking bolt must be moved. The coils of the electromagnets must therefore with the corresponding electric power can be supplied so that they can move the locking bolt against a force acting on the locking mechanism and a spring force.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to optimize the power requirement of an electronically controlled torque tool, so that the energy consumption is reduced. This is intended to increase the number of actuations of the torque wrench, in particular also with conventional batteries or accumulators, or make it possible at all.
  • the object is achieved in that in a torque tool for measuring and / or triggering tightening torque on a workpiece of the type mentioned according to the preamble of claim 1 or 13th a power amplifier for amplifying the mechanical and / or electrical power for the electronically or mechanically controlled release switch is provided with an energy storage for buffering and quick release of energy to provide a required power for a tripping operation is provided.

  • the magnetic switch can be controlled in a simple manner electronically, for example by electromagnets.
  • the electronically controlled release switch is designed as a piezo switch. Even with such a switch, the electronic control can be relatively easily implemented. By applying electrical voltage, a piezoelectric crystal is deformed in such a switch. This triggers a switching process.

  • the release switch for advantageous realization of the torque tool according to the invention are offered.
  • the trigger switch contains an electric motor.

  • a reduction mechanism is provided.
  • the reduction mechanism has at least one actuator operated by the release switch.
  • the reduction mechanism is arranged between the rod or the cam disc for transmitting the torque and the electronically controlled release switch for triggering the torque tool. Due to the reduction mechanism only a small force is required to trigger such a torque tool.
