Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of torque wrenches, and in particular to a digital display torque wrench. Background Art
[0002] The digital torque wrench is an advanced torque measurement tool. It adds a digital display function to the traditional torque wrench, making the torque measurement more accurate and intuitive. The digital torque wrench has a built-in torque sensor. When the operator uses the wrench to tighten, the torque sensor will sense and measure the torque applied to the wrench in real time. The torque signal output by the torque sensor is amplified by the internal converter, and then further fine-tuned by the signal processing circuit, and finally clearly displayed in digital form on the wrench's display.
[0003] Digital torque wrenches are usually equipped with an adjustment device, and the operator can set the required torque value by rotating the adjuster or entering a specific value. Once the preset torque value is reached, the wrench will issue a prompt signal (such as a beep or a flashing LED indicator) to ensure that the applied torque reaches the expected value.
[0004] Digital torque wrenches are widely used in applications that require precise control of torque, such as electricity, automobile manufacturing and maintenance, electronic product manufacturing, aerospace industry, precision assembly, etc. In the automobile manufacturing process, digital torque wrenches can be used to tighten bolts of key components such as engines, transmission systems, and suspension systems to ensure that the tightening force meets the manufacturer's requirements. In the manufacture of electronic products, digital torque wrenches can be used to precisely tighten various tiny bolts to ensure product performance and stability.
[0005] For example, in the invention patent of Taiwan, China with patent number TW1832213B, a torque wrench with lubrication is disclosed, including a handle body, one side of the handle body is connected to a steel pipe, one side of the steel pipe is provided with a driving head, and also includes: a first slider body, a second slider body is provided in the first slider body, the second slider body is connected to a driving block, the driving block is connected to a collision block, the first slider body, the second slider body and the collision block are arranged in the steel pipe; and an oil groove, the oil groove is arranged on the outside of the first slider body, the oil groove is arranged by a plurality of evenly distributed around the first slider body, the oil groove is arranged on the axial surface of the first slider body, the oil groove can be circular, rectangular, polygonal and annular, and the number and distribution of the oil grooves are not limited.
[0006] The torque wrench in the above patent is provided with an oil groove structure to lubricate the internal components of the torque wrench, thereby reducing wear. However, the steel pipe of the torque wrench is exposed, which makes it difficult to be used in scenarios with insulation requirements.
[0007] Whether it is the manufacturing and maintenance of various new energy vehicles or electronic products and precision equipment, the power supply cannot be completely cut off due to various reasons. Therefore, when using tools to repair these energized production equipment, it is necessary to ensure the electrical insulation performance of the tools used to improve safety. Utility Model Content
