Threaded member capable of detecting tension
First Claim
1. A threaded member capable of detecting tension, comprising:
- a sensor component installed in the threaded member, wherein;
the threaded member having an axial/longitudinal direction, a thread being formed on the threaded member in the axial/longitudinal direction of the threaded member; and
a receiving space being formed in the threaded member and extending below a top of the thread;
the sensor component having a flexible member and a sensor, the flexible member being a flexible body, the sensor being disposed on the flexible member for detecting the flexion thereof, the sensor component being located in the receiving space of the threaded member, positioned in a flexed state, and positioned in the axial/longitudinal direction of the threaded member.

Abstract
A threaded member capable of detecting tension includes a sensor component. A receiving space is formed in the threaded member. The sensor component has a flexible member and a sensor. The sensor is disposed on the flexible member. The sensor component is disposed in the receiving space of the threaded member and preset in a compressed/flexed state in an axial/longitudinal direction of the threaded member. When an article is tightened with the threaded member, the threaded member is tensioned to change the flexion of the flexible member. At this time, the sensor can detect and find the tension of the threaded member to achieve the tightening force applied to the threaded member.
