[0003] The existing mechanical adjustable torque wrench, please refer to relevant cases: China Taiwan new patent number: M434652 (screw 12), China Taiwan invention certificate number: I714469 (adjusting piece 50), China Taiwan new patent number: M434652 (adjusting screw 30), China Taiwan new patent number: M549139 (screw 50), China Taiwan new patent number: M556654 (adjusting screw 3), US invention patent number: US5662012 A (screw part B), US invention patent number: US8863624 B2 (adjustment screw member 31) … etc., wherein the adjustment structure of the disclosed torque wrench is implemented by screw and nut, as the torque required by wrench.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned cases and the adjustable torque wrench on the market at present all use screw structure as torque adjustment, such as Figure 1 The schematic view, screw structure converts rotary kinetic energy into radial linear motion to adjust the torque that wrench can withstand, and this way has the following disadvantages: larger friction, lower efficiency, when the torque value range of wrench is larger, the user needs more labor and time to adjust. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the applicant has made improvement and innovation after deep research, and designs an improved adjustable torque wrench structure by integrating the actual use requirement, mainly using the advantages of ball screw to improve the shortcomings of traditional screw structure.

[0006] Ball screw is a common mechanical transmission element, widely used in various mechanical equipment, mainly as the rotation motion into linear motion, or linear motion into rotation, ball screw has high precision positioning, high strength and high speed reversible transmission conversion displacement characteristics, but not seen in the implementation of the adjustable torque wrench.

[0007] Wherein, the ball device includes: ball screw, a plurality of balls and ball nut, ball screw is a cylinder, circumferential surface is provided with spiral channel, for the displacement of the rotation; ball nut is a matching part of the ball screw, ball nut is provided with ball track inside, ball track and the spiral channel of the ball screw are matched with each other for the ball to be contained therein; the rotation of the ball nut makes the ball roll, to realize the conversion of energy transmission and displacement.

[0008] Therefore, the main purpose of the improved adjustable torque wrench structure of the utility model provides a kind of adjustable torque structure using ball screw, by the characteristics of ball screw, it will be more labor-saving, efficient and more durable when the torque wrench is rotated to adjust torque.
