[0003] In existing technologies, one method for torque wrench testing and calibration is a precision pressure tester based on a hydraulic system, which achieves accurate measurement by transmitting torque through liquid. Although this method has high testing accuracy, the equipment is bulky and expensive. Another method is to use a manual lever loading mechanism combined with dial readings for testing and calibration, but this method is easily affected by human factors. Some sensor-based testing instruments can only check torque wrenches of fixed specifications, which has certain limitations. Moreover, these testing devices also require manual adjustment and rotation of the wrench, making operation inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a torque wrench calibration device includes a detector 1, a display 102 at the front end of the detector 1, a detection head 103 at the upper end of the detector 1 connected to a torque sensor inside the detector 1, a connector 104 on the detection head 103, and a drive head of a torque wrench inserted and fixed into the connector 104. A slot 105 is provided at the upper end of the detection head 103, the inner wall of the slot 105 being annularly corrugated. The outer wall of the connector 104 is inserted and confined within the slot 105. Connectors 104 with square holes of different sizes can be inserted into the slot 105 to calibrate torque wrenches with drive heads of different sizes. The instrument 1 is equipped with a support platform 2 fixed to its outer side. Several anti-slip pads 101 are fixed to the lower ends of the instrument 1 and the support platform 2. The instrument also includes a torsion mechanism 3 and a limiting mechanism 4. The torsion mechanism 3 is connected to the instrument 1, and the limiting mechanism 4 is connected to the torsion mechanism 3. The drive head of one end of the torque wrench is inserted into the connector 104 for limiting and fixing. The limiting mechanism 4 limits the handle of the torque wrench. The torsion mechanism 3 drives the push plate 404 to push the torque wrench to rotate. The torque is then detected by the instrument 1. The torque detected on the display 102 of the instrument 1 is compared with the torque of the torque wrench digital display and then calibrated.

[0027] like Figure 3 , 6 The limiting mechanism 4 shown includes a first screw 401 and a movable support frame 403. The first screw 401 rotates to drive the movable support frame 403 to slide horizontally on the rotating frame to support the torque wrench. A push plate 404 with spaced intervals is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable support frame 403. One end of the rotating frame is a ring-shaped turntable 301, which is rotatably connected to and coaxial with the detection head 103. The other end of the rotating frame is a horizontally distributed cross plate 302. A first sliding groove 303 is provided at the upper end of the cross plate 302. The first screw 401 is horizontally rotatably connected to the first sliding groove 303. A knob 402 that rotatably fits against the outside of the cross plate 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the first screw 401. A first slider is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable support frame 403. The first slider slides within the first sliding groove 303 and is threadedly connected to the first screw 401. The movable support frame 403... The lower end of the L-shaped structure, symmetrically distributed and integrated with it, is slidably fastened to the horizontal plate 302, thereby improving the stability of the movable support frame 403 in horizontal movement on the horizontal plate 302. The movable support frame 403 is symmetrically fixed to the outer side of the movable support frame 403. The two push plates 404 are vertically slidably fitted with pressure plates 406. The two ends of the pressure plates 406 are symmetrically fixed to the connecting plates 407. Bolts 408 are threaded through the connecting plates 407 and threaded to the mounting blocks 405. The pressure plates 406 press down to fix the handle end of the torque wrench, preventing the handle of the torque wrench from lifting up during testing. According to the length of the torque wrench, the knob 402 is rotated to drive the movable support frame 403 to move on the horizontal plate 302, so that the handle of the torque wrench is placed on the movable support frame 403. After the pressure plates 406 are pressed down and pressed against the handle of the torque wrench, the pressure plates 406 are fixed with bolts 408, thus completing the support and limiting of the torque wrench.

[0028] like Figure 3-5The torsion mechanism 3 shown includes a motor 306 and a rotating frame. One end of the rotating frame is rotatably mounted on the detection head 103. The motor 306 is fixed to the front end of the support platform 2, driving the other end of the rotating frame to rotate. A second screw 307 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 306. A second slider 308 is threaded onto the second screw 307. A connecting block 309 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second slider 308. A connecting ball 310 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting block 309 via a connecting shaft. A mounting base 304 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the horizontal plate 302. The connecting block 309 is movably disposed between the mounting base 304 and the support platform 2. The base 304 has a mounting groove 305 extending through its lower end. The connecting ball 310 is adapted to move within the mounting groove 305. The support platform 2 has a second sliding groove 201. The second screw 307 is horizontally rotatably connected to the second sliding groove 201. The second slider 308 is adapted to slide within the second sliding groove 201. Driven by the motor 306, the second slider 308 moves laterally, thereby causing the connecting ball 310 to move within the mounting groove 305. Consequently, the mounting base 304 and the horizontal plate 302 rotate around the axis of the detection head 103, thereby causing the push plate 404 to push the torque wrench to rotate for torque detection.

[0029] In use, this utility model requires the size of the drive head at one end of the torque wrench to be tested. A connector 104, adapted to the size of the drive head, is inserted into the testing slot. The square hole on the connector 104 is fitted to the size of the drive head. The drive head of the torque wrench is then inserted into the connector 104. Based on the length of the torque wrench, the knob 402 is rotated, causing the first screw 401 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the first slider to slide within the first groove 303, which in turn causes the movable support frame 403 to move horizontally on the horizontal plate 302. The movable support frame 403 supports the handle of the torque wrench, and the pressure plate 406 is moved downwards to abut against the handle of the torque wrench. The pressure plate 406 is then fixed to the handle using bolts 408. The motor 306 outputs power... The second screw 307 rotates, which in turn drives the second slider 308 to slide in the second slide groove 201, which in turn drives the connecting block 309 to move horizontally on the support platform 2, which in turn drives the connecting ball 310 to move in the mounting groove 305 through the connecting shaft, which in turn drives the mounting base 304 through the connecting ball 310, which in turn drives the horizontal plate 302 to rotate around the axis of the detection head 103. The horizontal plate 302 drives the push plate 404 to move, which in turn drives the torque wrench to rotate. The torque generated by the rotation of the torque wrench is detected by the torque sensor connected to the detection head 103 in the detection instrument 1, and the specific torque value is obtained by the display 102. The torque value detected on the display 102 is compared with the torque value on the torque wrench's own digital display for comparison and calibration until the two values ​​are the same.

[0030] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
