Electronic torque tool having discontinuous torque warning values with an interval therebetween
An electronic torque tool includes a main body; at least one display unit disposed on the main body for displaying torque values, and several pushbuttons disposed on the main body for a user to set values to the torque tool. The electronic torque tool has resettable torque warning values, which are discontinuous values with an interval therebetween. Thanks to the interval between the discontinuous resettable torque warning values, the torque warning value of the torque tool is lower than the required tightening force. In this case, it can be avoided that a threaded member is over-tightened.
1. An electronic torque tool comprising:
a main body; a detection unit being disposed in the main body and capable of detecting a plurality of torque values for display, the detection unit detecting an actual torque value of the torque tool, the actual torque value being selected from the plurality of torque values;
a group of resettable torque warning values being selected from the plurality of torque values, each pair of adjacent resettable torque warning values of the group of said resettable torque warning values being spaced apart by an interval, the interval being an amount of torque, a number of values in the group of said resettable torque warning values is less than a number of values of the plurality of torque values, a torque warning value being selected from the group of said resettable torque warning values, a warning being emitted when the actual torque value and the torque warning value are equal;
at least one display unit disposed on the main body for displaying the plurality of torque values; and
at least one pushbutton disposed on the main body for a user to set the torque warning value of the torque tool.
