  • Publication number: 20240131665
    Abstract: A mini torque wrench has a tubular body. A rod body is pivotally connected to one end of the tubular body. The rod body is further connected to a trip mechanism. The trip mechanism is connected to an elastic member. An adjustment unit is disposed on the other end of the tubular body. The adjustment unit is connected to an operating member. When the operating member drives the adjustment unit to adjust the elastic force of the elastic member, the overall length of the mini torque wrench will not change, so as to keep the advantage of miniaturization of the mini torque wrench.

  • Patent number: 11534898
    Abstract: A torque wrench has a hollow tubular body. A long rod and a short rod are provided in the hollow tubular body. The hollow tubular body is formed with a first through hole and a second through hole respectively corresponding to the long rod and the short rod. A first limiting unit is provided in the first through hole, and a second limiting unit is provided in the second through hole. The first limiting unit enables to slide into a first gap spaced apart between the long rod and the hollow tubular body to limit the swing range of the long rod, and the second limiting unit enables to slide into a second gap spaced apart between the short rod and the hollow tubular body to limit the swing range of the short rod, thereby improving the accuracy of the tripping torque and making the torque wrench easy to calibrate.

  • Patent number: 11383361
    Abstract: An electro-mechanical torque wrench has a main body. A trip mechanism is provided in the main body. The trip mechanism includes a long rod and a short rod arranged side-by-side. A release member is connected between the long rod and the short rod. When in operation, the long rod and the short rod are subject to torque to cause flex. When the torque reaches a preset torque value, the release member is released to generate a mechanical sound and vibration to prompt a user to stop operation. The long rod is provided with at least one strain sensor, and the strain sensor is connected with a display module for sensing the amount of deformation of the long rod and transmitting sensing information to the display module, so that the display module outputs a corresponding torque value in a digital display manner.

  • Patent number: 10393366
    Abstract: A torque wrench provided with illumination structure and indicated graduations includes a tubular body bored with an insert hole and an illumination hole. The tubular body is provided therein with a graduated ring having its outer circumferential wall provided with a graduation marked portion, with an interval kept between the graduation marked portion and the inner tube wall of the tubular body. A lens is disposed at a location corresponding to the insert hole, and a light-emitting element is installed at a location corresponding to the illumination hole. Thus, light emitted by the light-emitting element will first illuminate the graduation marked portion and thereafter the reflected light of the graduation marked portion will pass through the insert hole and pass out the lens, enabling a user to clearly read the graduation marked portion.

  • Publication number: 20150375380
    Abstract: A torque wrench with a reflection-type viewing window illumination structure in the present invention includes a wrench body having an outer surface bored with a viewing window provided therein with an indicating member. A luminous member is installed at a location adjacent to the viewing window, and a control unit is electrically connected with the luminous member. Thus, the luminous member can be started by the control unit to carry out illumination toward the interior of the viewing window for lighting up the indicating member so as to enable a user to clearly read the indicating member in an environment of insufficient light and really know the torsion value that the wrench body sets at the very moment.

  • Publication number: 20150375379
    Abstract: A torque wrench having a transparent window illumination structure includes a torque wrench main body. The outer surface of the torque wrench main body has at least one window. A torque indicator is provided corresponding in position to the window. An illuminating member is disposed at an end of the torque indicator opposite to the window. The illuminating member is electrically connected with a control unit. When the illuminating member illuminates, the light from the illuminating member will first pass through the indication portion and then the window. Under an inadequate lighting environment, through the window, the user can watch the indication portion clearly to know the present setting torque value of the torque wrench.

  • Publication number: 20140373691
    Abstract: A bidirectional torque wrench includes a main body pivotally fixed thereon with an operating rod, and at least two resisting units are equiangularly and symmetrically assembled at the circumferential side of the operating rod. By so designing, in a process of operating the bidirectional torque wrench, the lateral forces acting on the resisting units are in opposite direction and able to be offset mutually to prevent the resisting units from shifting eccentrically for stabilizing torsion output, able to lower the torque force received by one single resisting unit and greatly enhance the maximum torsion value that the bidirectional torque wrench can output.

  • Publication number: 20140069242
    Abstract: An adjusting structure of a torque wrench includes an adjusting bolt orderly installed with a first nut, a second nut, a connecting ring and a third nut. The second nut has a polygonal groove correspondingly engaged with a polygonal projected ring of the connecting ring, so that the connecting ring has a thicker wall, compared to a conventional one, to step up its strength. Therefore, the connecting ring has a stronger structure to avoid disadvantage of easily breaking down happening in the conventional one.
