Abstract

An electronic torque wrench includes a main body, a display device and at least one pushbutton module. A torque detector is disposed on the main body in adjacency to a working head for outputting a torque value. The display device has an operation unit and a display panel. The pushbutton module is for setting a torque value. The pushbutton module and the torque detector are electrically connected to the operation unit. The operation unit serves to receive and process the torque value to display the torque value on the display panel. The display panel and the pushbutton module are respectively disposed on a top side and a lateral side of the main body.

Claims (27)

1. An electronic torque wrench comprising:

a main body, the main body being defined with a longitudinal direction, along the longitudinal direction, the main body having a working head being located at a first end of the main body and a grip section being located at a second end of the main body, a torque detector being disposed on the main body adjacent to the working head for outputting a torque value; the main body having a first face, a second face and a third face located between the working head and the grip section, the first face, the second face and the third face being all parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body, the second face and the first face containing a predetermined angle, the third face and the first face also containing a predetermined angle;

a display device located on the main body, the display device having an operation unit and a display panel, the operation unit processing data, the display panel being located on the first face of the main body; and

a first pushbutton module and a second pushbutton module, the first pushbutton module and the second pushbutton module being respectively located on the second face and the third face of the main body, the first pushbutton module including a group of pushbuttons, the second pushbutton module including a group of pushbuttons, the first pushbutton module and second pushbutton module including pushbuttons for setting and/or displaying the torque value, each pushbutton executing at least one function; the first pushbutton module, the second pushbutton module, and the torque detector being electrically connected to the operation unit of the display device, the operation unit serving to receive and process the torque value and to display the torque value on the display panel;

wherein the display panel, the first pushbutton module, and the second pushbutton module are respectively located on the first face, the second face, and the third face of the main body and are located between the working head and the grip section and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body;

wherein the group of pushbuttons of the second pushbutton module includes a same number of pushbuttons as the group of pushbuttons of the first pushbutton module, the group of pushbuttons of the first pushbutton module performing the same functions as the group of pushbuttons of the second pushbutton module;

wherein the first pushbutton module and second pushbutton module include multiple pushbuttons linearly arranged along the longitudinal direction of the main body between the working head and the grip section.

2. The electronic torque wrench as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display panel is located perpendicular to the first pushbutton module and the second pushbutton module.

3. The electronic torque wrench as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first pushbutton module is located parallel to the second pushbutton module.

4. An electronic torque wrench comprising:

a main body, the main body being defined with a longitudinal direction, along the longitudinal direction, the main body having a working head being located at a first end of the main body and a grip section being located at a second end of the main body, a torque detector being disposed on the main body adjacent to the working head for outputting a torque value; the main body having a first face, a second face and a third face located between the working head and the grip section, the first face, the second face and the third face being all parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body, the second face and the first face containing a predetermined angle, the third face and the first face also containing a predetermined angle;

a display device located on the main body, the display device having an operation unit and a display panel, the operation unit processing data, the display panel being located on the first face of the main body; and

a first pushbutton module and a second pushbutton module, the first pushbutton module and the second pushbutton module being respectively located on the second face and the third face of the main body, the first pushbutton module including a group of pushbuttons, the second pushbutton module including at least one pushbutton, the first pushbutton module and second pushbutton module including pushbuttons for setting and/or displaying the torque value, each pushbutton executing at least one function; the first pushbutton module, the second pushbutton module, and the torque detector being electrically connected to the operation unit of the display device, the operation unit serving to receive and process the torque value and to display the torque value on the display panel;

wherein the display panel, the first pushbutton module, and the second pushbutton module are respectively located on the first face, the second face, and the third face of the main body and are located between the working head and the grip section and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body;

wherein the at least one pushbutton of the second pushbutton module and the group of pushbuttons of the first pushbutton module performing different functions;

wherein the first pushbutton module and second pushbutton module include multiple pushbuttons linearly arranged along the longitudinal direction of the main body between the working head and the grip section.

5. The electronic torque wrench as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the display panel is located perpendicular to the first pushbutton module and the second pushbutton module.

6. The electronic torque wrench as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first pushbutton module is located parallel to the second pushbutton module.

7. An electronic torque wrench comprising:

a main body, the main body being defined with a longitudinal direction, along the longitudinal direction, the main body having a working head being located at a first end of the main body and a grip section being located at a second end of the main body, a torque detector being disposed on the main body adjacent to the working head for outputting a torque value; the main body having a first face, a second face and a third face located between the working head and the grip section, the first face, the second face and the third face being all parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body, the second face and the first face containing a predetermined angle, the third face and the first face also containing a predetermined angle;

a display device located on the main body, the display device having an operation unit and a display panel, the operation unit processing data, the display panel being located on the first face of the main body; and

a first pushbutton module and a second pushbutton module, the first pushbutton module and the second pushbutton module being respectively located on the second face and the third face of the main body, the first pushbutton module including a group of pushbuttons, the second pushbutton module including at least one pushbutton, the first pushbutton module and second pushbutton module including pushbuttons for setting and/or displaying the torque value, each pushbutton executing at least one function; the first pushbutton module, the second pushbutton module, and the torque detector being electrically connected to the operation unit of the display device, the operation unit serving to receive and process the torque value and to display the torque value on the display panel;
