Abstract

A setting method for an electronic torque tool is disclosed. The electronic torque tool includes a tool body that stores at least one operation set. The operation set includes at least one adjustable operation parameter of the electronic torque tool. The setting method can be used to adjust the operation parameter in the operation set and includes a setting step and a storing step. The setting step includes entering the operation set and adjusting the operation parameter therein. The storing step includes storing the adjusted operation parameter in the operation set directly after an operator quits the operation set or turns off the electronic torque tool during the setting step. The setting method allows the operation parameter in the operation set to be easily and rapidly set or adjusted, thereby making the electronic torque tool easy to use and operate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A setting method for an electronic torque tool, wherein the electronic torque tool comprises a tool body, the tool body stores at least one operation set, the operation set comprises at least one adjustable operation parameter of the electronic torque tool, and the operation parameter in the operation set is adjustable by the setting method, wherein the setting method of the at least one operation parameter of the at least one operation set comprising:
a setting step comprising entering one of said operation set and adjusting said operation parameter in the operation set; and
a storing step comprising storing the adjusted operation parameter in the operation set directly when an operator quits the operation set or turns off the electronic torque tool during the setting step.

2. The setting method of claim 1 , wherein the operation parameter is a torque value.

3. The setting method of claim 1 , wherein the operation parameter is a rotation angle value.

4. The setting method of claim 1 , wherein the operation parameter is a rotation angle value of a rotating operation to be performed when a torque value is reached, and both the torque value and the rotation angle value are able to be adjusted.

5. The setting method of claim 1 , wherein the tool body stores at least two operation sets.

6. The setting method of claim 5 , wherein when the storing step is completed on one of the operation sets, the setting method switches to the next one of the operation sets to perform the setting step.

7. The setting method of claim 6 , wherein the electronic torque tool is provided with a plurality of buttons, the storing step is performed by one of the buttons to store the operation parameter of the operation set, and after the storage is completed, the operation set is switched to the next one of operation sets.

8. The setting method of claim 7 , wherein the buttons comprise at least one setting button with which to adjust the operation parameter during the setting step.

9. The setting method of claim 7 , wherein the buttons comprise a power on/off button with which to turn off the electronic torque tool, and by pressing the power on/off button, the adjusted operation parameter in the operation set is stored and the electronic torque tool is subsequently turned off.

10. The setting method of claim 1 , wherein the operation parameter is one of a numerical setting, a unit of measurement, and a mode option; the numerical setting is a torque value or an angle value; the unit of measurement is the unit of measurement of the torque value or of the angle value; and the mode option is an operation mode option or a display mode option.

11. The setting method of claim 7 , wherein the buttons comprise a set button, and when the set button is pressed, the adjusted operation parameter in the operation set is stored.
