Abstract

A biaxial torque measuring device includes a base and two torque sensing shafts. The torque sensing shafts are disposed on the base, wherein one of the torque sensing shafts is axially parallel to a surface of the base, the other torque sensing shaft has an angle relative to the surface of the base, the angle is greater than 0 degree and smaller than 180 degrees, and each of the torque sensing shafts has a sensing portion for sensing a torque value.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A biaxial torque measuring device, comprising:
a base; and two torque sensing shafts disposed on the base, wherein one of the torque sensing shafts is axially parallel to a surface of the base, the other torque sensing shaft has an angle relative to the surface of the base, the angle is greater than 0 degree and smaller than 180 degrees, and each of the torque sensing shafts has a sensing portion for sensing a torque value.

2 . The biaxial torque measuring device of claim , wherein the angle is 45 degrees.

3 . The biaxial torque measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the angle is 90 degrees.

4 . A biaxial torque measuring device, comprising:
a base; a first torque sensing shaft comprising a first sensing portion and a first supporting portion, wherein the first sensing portion is for sensing a first torque value, the first supporting portion fixedly disposed on the base connects the first sensing portion to the base, and the first sensing portion is axially parallel to a surface of the base; and a second torque sensing shaft comprising a second sensing portion and a second supporting portion, wherein the second sensing portion is for sensing a second torque value, the second supporting portion fixedly disposed on the base connects the second sensing portion to the base, and the second sensing portion has an angle of 90 degrees relative to the surface of the base.

5 . The biaxial torque measuring device of claim 4 , wherein the first supporting portion comprises a groove correspondent to the second supporting portion, and the second supporting portion is engaged in the groove.

6 . The biaxial torque measuring device of claim 4 , further comprising:
a shell covering the base, wherein the shell comprises two holes for the first torque sensing shaft and the second torque sensing shaft to respectively protrude therefrom.

7 . The biaxial torque measuring device of claim 6 , further comprising:
a control circuit disposed on the shell and connected with the first sensing portion and the second sensing portion; a displayer disposed on the shell and electrically connected with the control circuit for showing the first torque value or the second torque value; and a control element disposed on the shell and electrically connected with the control circuit, wherein the control element is for switching on or switching off the control circuit, or selecting a sensing direction of the first sensing portion or a sensing direction of the second sensing portion.

8 . A biaxial torque measuring device, comprising:
a base; a first torque sensing shaft comprising a first sensing portion and a first supporting portion, wherein the first sensing portion is for sensing a first torque value, the first supporting base fixedly disposed on the base connects the first sensing portion to the base, and the first sensing portion is axially parallel to a surface of the base; and a second torque sensing shaft comprising a second sensing portion and a second supporting portion, wherein the second sensing portion is for sensing a second torque value, the second supporting portion fixedly disposed on the base connects the second sensing portion to the base, and the second sensing portion has an angle of 45 degrees relative to the surface of the base.

9 . The biaxial torque measuring device of claim 8 , wherein the first supporting portion comprises a groove correspondent to the second supporting portion, and the second supporting portion is engaged in the groove.

10 . The biaxial torque measuring device of claim 8 , further comprising:
a shell fixedly disposed on the base, wherein the shell comprises two holes for the first torque sensing shaft and the second torque sensing shaft to respectively protrude therefrom.

11 . The biaxial torque measuring device of claim 10 , further comprising:
a control circuit disposed on the shell and connected with the first sensing portion and the second sensing portion; a displayer disposed on the shell and electrically connected with the control circuit for showing the first torque value or the second torque value; and a control element disposed on the shell and electrically connected with the control circuit, wherein the control element is for switching on or switching off the control circuit, or selecting a sensing direction of the first sensing portion or a sensing direction of the second sensing portion.
