Abstract

Electric torque wrenches play a crucial role in the assembly of high-strength bolts. This study focuses on three assembly processes for high-strength bolts and introduces a statistical analysis method to assess the quality of the bolt assembly. To enhance the performance, a novel, fully digital, Internet of Things (IoT) electric torque wrench is designed, incorporating a smart meter chip. This wrench achieves integration between the current sensor control method and the torque sensor control method using a simplified hardware circuit, ensuring high precision and stability. Additionally, this study employs the AC voltage self-stabilization method and Savitzky–Golay filtering method to enhance the accuracy and robustness of the wrench. Simulation experiments using Simulink and Matlab validate the effectiveness of these two methods. Furthermore, a cloud platform is utilized to enable rapid IoT access for the wrench, facilitating seamless connectivity and data transmission.
