首先,該些扭力扳手頭部104都放置於該工具盒內而未組接至該扭力扳手本體102,使用者目視該受扭物體20以決定適合的該扭力扳手頭部104;例如,如果該受扭物體20的對邊長度約為17mm,則使用者看見在圖2當中由上而下第一個該扭力扳手頭部104刻有該扳手開口尺寸1042為17(代表17mm)並且將在圖2當中由上而下第一個該扭力扳手頭部104組接至該扭力扳手本體102;如上所述,在圖2當中由上而下第一個該扭力扳手頭部104的該識別顏色1041為黃色。First, the torque wrench heads 104 are placed in the tool box without being connected to the torque wrench body 102. The user visually inspects the object 20 to determine the appropriate torque wrench head 104. For example, if the object 20 has a side-to-side length of approximately 17 mm, the user sees the first torque wrench head 104 from the top in FIG. 2 engraved with the wrench opening size 1042 as 17 (representing 17 mm) and connects the first torque wrench head 104 from the top in FIG. 2 to the torque wrench body 102. As mentioned above, the identification color 1041 of the first torque wrench head 104 from the top in FIG. 2 is yellow.

接著,使用者按下具有該第一按鈕顏色1361也是為黃色的該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136;也就是說,組接至該扭力扳手本體102的該扭力扳手頭部104的該識別顏色1041(黃色)與該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136的該第一按鈕顏色1361(黃色)係為相同的,並且接著該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136被按壓。回應於該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136被按壓,該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136被配置為傳送一第一扭力提示選擇訊號S1至該微控制器106。Next, the user presses the first torque prompt selection button 136, which also has a yellow first button color 1361. That is, the identification color 1041 (yellow) of the torque wrench head 104 attached to the torque wrench body 102 and the first button color 1361 (yellow) of the first torque prompt selection button 136 are identical, and the first torque prompt selection button 136 is then pressed. In response to the first torque prompt selection button 136 being pressed, the first torque prompt selection button 136 is configured to transmit a first torque prompt selection signal S1 to the microcontroller 106.

然後,該微控制器106被配置為接收該第一扭力提示選擇訊號S1;此時,如果該清除按鈕120沒有被按壓,則該微控制器106被配置為提供對應於該第一扭力提示選擇訊號S1的一第一扭力提示下限數值L1及一第一扭力提示上限數值U1,而且該第一扭力提示上限數值U1係大於該第一扭力提示下限數值L1。接著,使用者利用扭力扳手裝置10鎖固該受扭物體20。The microcontroller 106 is then configured to receive the first torque prompt selection signal S1. If the clear button 120 is not pressed, the microcontroller 106 is configured to provide a first torque prompt lower limit value L1 and a first torque prompt upper limit value U1 corresponding to the first torque prompt selection signal S1. The first torque prompt upper limit value U1 is greater than the first torque prompt lower limit value L1. The user then uses the torque wrench device 10 to secure the object 20 being torqued.

在鎖固過程中,該扭力感測器110被配置為感測該扭力扳手裝置10施加至該受扭物體20的一扭力116以產生一扭力感測訊號118;該扭力感測訊號118包含一扭力感測數值1180;在該扭力感測器110產生該扭力感測訊號118之後,該扭力感測器110被配置為傳送該扭力感測訊號118至該微控制器106;在該微控制器106接收到該第一扭力提示選擇訊號S1及該扭力感測訊號118之後,該微控制器106被配置為比較該扭力感測數值1180及該第一扭力提示下限數值L1,並且該微控制器106被配置為比較該扭力感測數值1180及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1。During the locking process, the torque sensor 110 is configured to sense a torque 116 applied by the torque wrench device 10 to the torqued object 20 to generate a torque sensing signal 118; the torque sensing signal 118 includes a torque sensing value 1180; after the torque sensor 110 generates the torque sensing signal 118, the torque sensor 110 is configured to transmit the torque sensing signal 118 to the microcontroller 106; after the microcontroller 106 receives the first torque prompt selection signal S1 and the torque sensing signal 118, the microcontroller 106 is configured to compare the torque sensing value 1180 with the first torque prompt lower limit value L1, and the microcontroller 106 is configured to compare the torque sensing value 1180 with the first torque prompt upper limit value U1.

In this way, the user can know that the torque sensing value 1180 is greater than the first torque indication lower limit value L1 and less than the first torque indication upper limit value U1 (indicating that the strength of the torque 116 locking the torqued object 20 is appropriate). At this time, the user can stop applying force.

回應於該扭力感測數值1180係小於等於該第一扭力提示下限數值L1,該微控制器106被配置為驅動該黃色發光二極體126以發出一黃光1122;藉此,使用者可得知該扭力感測數值1180係小於等於該第一扭力提示下限數值L1(代表鎖固該受扭物體20的該扭力116的強度還不夠強)。回應於該扭力感測數值1180係大於等於該第一扭力提示上限數值U1,該微控制器106被配置為驅動該紅色發光二極體128以發出一紅光1123;藉此,使用者可得知該扭力感測數值1180係大於等於該第一扭力提示上限數值U1(代表鎖固該受扭物體20的該扭力116的強度太強)。In response to the torque sensing value 1180 being less than or equal to the first torque prompt lower limit value L1, the microcontroller 106 is configured to drive the yellow LED 126 to emit a yellow light 1122; thereby, the user can know that the torque sensing value 1180 is less than or equal to the first torque prompt lower limit value L1 (indicating that the strength of the torque 116 for locking the torqued object 20 is not strong enough). In response to the torque sensing value 1180 being greater than or equal to the first torque prompt upper limit value U1, the microcontroller 106 is configured to drive the red LED 128 to emit a red light 1123; thereby, the user can know that the torque sensing value 1180 is greater than or equal to the first torque prompt upper limit value U1 (indicating that the strength of the torque 116 locking the torqued object 20 is too strong).

類似地,如果該受扭物體20的對邊長度約為22mm,則使用者將在圖2當中由上而下第二個該扭力扳手頭部104(刻上22)組接至該扭力扳手本體102;如上所述,在圖2當中由上而下第二個該扭力扳手頭部104的該識別顏色1041為黑色;接著,使用者按下具有該第二按鈕顏色1381也是為黑色的該第二扭力提示選擇按鈕138,使得該第二扭力提示選擇按鈕138被配置為傳送一第二扭力提示選擇訊號S2至該微控制器106,而且該微控制器106被配置為接收該第二扭力提示選擇訊號S2以提供一第二扭力提示下限數值L2及一第二扭力提示上限數值U2,而且該第二扭力提示上限數值U2係大於該第二扭力提示下限數值L2。Similarly, if the length of the opposite side of the torqued object 20 is approximately 22 mm, the user assembles the second torque wrench head 104 (with 22 engraved thereon) from the top in FIG. 2 to the torque wrench body 102. As described above, the identification color 1041 of the second torque wrench head 104 from the top in FIG. 2 is black. Then, the user presses the second torque wrench head 104 having the second button color 1381 also in black. The microcontroller 106 further includes a microcontroller 106 configured to receive the second torque prompt selection signal S2 to provide a second torque prompt lower limit value L2 and a second torque prompt upper limit value U2, and the second torque prompt upper limit value U2 is greater than the second torque prompt lower limit value L2.

As described above, the identification color 1041 of the third torque wrench head 104 from the top in FIG. 2 is red. Then, the user presses the third torque prompt option button 1401, which is also red. The third torque prompt selection button 140 is configured to transmit a third torque prompt selection signal S3 to the microcontroller 106, and the microcontroller 106 is configured to receive the third torque prompt selection signal S3 to provide a third torque prompt lower limit value L3 and a third torque prompt upper limit value U3, and the third torque prompt upper limit value U3 is greater than the third torque prompt lower limit value L3.

如果該受扭物體20的對邊長度約為29mm,則使用者將在圖2當中由上而下第四個該扭力扳手頭部104(刻上29)組接至該扭力扳手本體102;如上所述,在圖2當中由上而下第四個該扭力扳手頭部104的該識別顏色1041為白色;接著,使用者按下具有該第四按鈕顏色1421也是為白色的該第四扭力提示選擇按鈕142,使得該第四扭力提示選擇按鈕142被配置為傳送一第四扭力提示選擇訊號S4至該微控制器106,而且該微控制器106被配置為接收該第四扭力提示選擇訊號S4以提供一第四扭力提示下限數值L4及一第四扭力提示上限數值U4,而且該第四扭力提示上限數值U4係大於該第四扭力提示下限數值L4。If the length of the opposite side of the torqued object 20 is approximately 29 mm, the user assembles the fourth torque wrench head 104 (with 29 engraved thereon) from the top in FIG. 2 to the torque wrench body 102. As described above, the identification color 1041 of the fourth torque wrench head 104 from the top in FIG. 2 is white. Then, the user presses the fourth torque prompt option button 1421, which is also white. The fourth torque prompt selection button 142 is configured to transmit a fourth torque prompt selection signal S4 to the microcontroller 106, and the microcontroller 106 is configured to receive the fourth torque prompt selection signal S4 to provide a fourth torque prompt lower limit value L4 and a fourth torque prompt upper limit value U4, and the fourth torque prompt upper limit value U4 is greater than the fourth torque prompt lower limit value L4.

該第一扭力提示下限數值L1、該第二扭力提示下限數值L2、該第三扭力提示下限數值L3及該第四扭力提示下限數值L4係彼此不同,例如分別為13Nm、37Nm、50Nm、60Nm。該第一扭力提示上限數值U1、該第二扭力提示上限數值U2、該第三扭力提示上限數值U3及該第四扭力提示上限數值U4係彼此不同,例如分別為23Nm、47Nm、60Nm、70Nm。The first torque lower limit value L1, the second torque lower limit value L2, the third torque lower limit value L3, and the fourth torque lower limit value L4 are different from each other, for example, 13 Nm, 37 Nm, 50 Nm, and 60 Nm, respectively.

再者,回應於該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136被按壓而且該清除按鈕120沒有被按壓:該微控制器106被配置為每次接收到該第一扭力提示選擇訊號S1仍維持該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1為固定不變的。也就是說,如果該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136被按壓而且該清除按鈕120沒有被按壓,則不管該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136被按壓幾次,該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1都是固定不變的。Furthermore, in response to the first torque prompt selection button 136 being pressed and the clear button 120 not being pressed, the microcontroller 106 is configured to maintain the first torque prompt lower limit value L1 and the first torque prompt upper limit value U1 fixed each time the first torque prompt selection signal S1 is received. In other words, if the first torque prompt selection button 136 is pressed and the clear button 120 is not pressed, the first torque prompt lower limit value L1 and the first torque prompt upper limit value U1 remain fixed regardless of how many times the first torque prompt selection button 136 is pressed.

在上述內容中,該微控制器106係內建該扳手開口尺寸1042對應的建議的(最佳的)扭力提示下限數值及扭力提示上限數值。例如,對於刻有該扳手開口尺寸1042為17的該扭力扳手頭部104來說,該微控制器106提供的該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1分別為13Nm及23Nm。然而,使用者也可以修改這些數值,茲舉該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1為例並敘述如下:In the above description, the microcontroller 106 has built-in recommended (optimal) lower and upper torque limit values corresponding to the wrench opening size 1042. For example, for the torque wrench head 104 engraved with the wrench opening size 1042 as 17, the microcontroller 106 provides the first lower torque limit value L1 and the first upper torque limit value U1 as 13 Nm and 23 Nm, respectively. However, the user can also modify these values. The first lower torque limit value L1 and the first upper torque limit value U1 are used as an example and are described as follows:

首先,使用者按壓該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136,使得該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136被配置為傳送該第一扭力提示選擇訊號S1至該微控制器106;接著,使用者按壓該清除按鈕120且該清除按鈕120被按壓的一持續時間小於一預設時間(短壓;例如,小於0.5秒),使得該清除按鈕120被配置為傳送一清除訊號122至該微控制器106;在該微控制器106接收到該第一扭力提示選擇訊號S1及該清除訊號122之後,該微控制器106被配置為調整該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1。First, the user presses the first torque prompt selection button 136, causing the first torque prompt selection button 136 to be configured to transmit the first torque prompt selection signal S1 to the microcontroller 106. Next, the user presses the clear button 120, and the clear button 120 is pressed for a duration less than a preset time (a short press; for example, less than 0.5 seconds), causing the clear button 120 to be configured to transmit a clear signal 122 to the microcontroller 106. After the microcontroller 106 receives the first torque prompt selection signal S1 and the clear signal 122, the microcontroller 106 is configured to adjust the first torque prompt lower limit value L1 and the first torque prompt upper limit value U1.

再者,該微控制器106被配置為調整該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1包含:該微控制器106被配置為先清除該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1,接著該微控制器106被配置為依據該微控制器106所接收到的該第一扭力提示選擇訊號S1的次數(亦即,該第一扭力提示選擇按鈕136被按壓的次數)以設定(例如,增加)該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1,最後回應於該微控制器106感測到該清除按鈕120被按壓的該持續時間係大於等於該預設時間(亦即,該清除按鈕120被長按),該微控制器106被配置為結束調整該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1並且儲存該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1。在調整過程中,使用者可再次按下(短按)該清除按鈕120重來。Furthermore, the microcontroller 106 is configured to adjust the first torque prompt lower limit value L1 and the first torque prompt upper limit value U1, including: the microcontroller 106 is configured to first clear the first torque prompt lower limit value L1 and the first torque prompt upper limit value U1, and then the microcontroller 106 is configured to set (for example) according to the number of times the first torque prompt selection signal S1 is received by the microcontroller 106 (that is, the number of times the first torque prompt selection button 136 is pressed). , increase) the first torque lower limit value L1 and the first torque upper limit value U1. Finally, in response to the microcontroller 106 sensing that the duration of pressing the clear button 120 is greater than or equal to the preset time (i.e., the clear button 120 is long pressed), the microcontroller 106 is configured to terminate the adjustment of the first torque lower limit value L1 and the first torque upper limit value U1 and store the first torque lower limit value L1 and the first torque upper limit value U1. During the adjustment process, the user can press (short press) the clear button 120 again to start over.

在該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1被調整之後,使用者亦可直接使用具有調整後的該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1的該扭力扳手裝置10以鎖固該受扭物體20。After the first torque lower limit value L1 and the first torque upper limit value U1 are adjusted, the user can directly use the torque wrench device 10 with the adjusted first torque lower limit value L1 and the first torque upper limit value U1 to lock the torqued object 20 .

再者,該扭力扳手裝置10更包含一顯示器134,該顯示器134係電性連接至該微控制器106,該微控制器106被配置為驅動該顯示器134以顯示該扭力感測數值1180、該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1(或該第二扭力提示下限數值L2及該第二扭力提示上限數值U2,或該第三扭力提示下限數值L3及該第三扭力提示上限數值U3,或該第四扭力提示下限數值L4及該第四扭力提示上限數值U4);藉此,使用者可得知該扭力感測數值1180、該第一扭力提示下限數值L1及該第一扭力提示上限數值U1(或該第二扭力提示下限數值L2及該第二扭力提示上限數值U2,或該第三扭力提示下限數值L3及該第三扭力提示上限數值U3,或該第四扭力提示下限數值L4及該第四扭力提示上限數值U4)。Furthermore, the torque wrench device 10 further includes a display 134, which is electrically connected to the microcontroller 106.
