摘要:
An electronic torque-angle instrument including a generally tubular body having a gripping section and a pivoting head for engaging a workpiece, such as a nut or bolt, and a housing associated with the body and containing electronics, including a microprocessor, which permit individual or simultaneous measurement of torque and angle applied to the workpiece. The microprocessor includes stored programs which interpret a signal from an input, such as a gyroscopic sensor, and sends the interpreted signal to an output means. The signal is finally displayed as an accurate torque measure and/or angle measure from the output means.

A torque-angle wrench has a torque preset alert circuit which provides a first signal when a predetermined torque level is reached, an angle sensing circuitry providing a second signal corresponding to angular rotation, output circuitry responsive to the second signal for providing an indication of angular rotation, and switch circuitry for preventing the second signal from reaching the output circuitry until the occurrence of the first signal.

An electronic torque wrench has inner and outer telescoping housing portions and a battery tray assembly telescopically receivable in the inner housing portion and a bezel assembly receivable in an aperture in the outer housing portion and interconnected with the housing portions and the battery support assembly by a single fastener. The bezel assembly carries torque measuring circuitry including a microcontroller, and a four-key pad including arrow keys for incrementing and decrementing a preset torque level at any time, an on/zero key and a units key for toggling among plural different units of torque measurement. The preset torque level is displayed until torque is applied or a key is pressed and can be changed and displayed at anytime.

A battery and charging system tester includes an automatically-operated carbon pile for loading the battery, the pile having a shaft therethrough rotated by a stepper motor, and a compression nut threadedly engaged with the shaft for movement into and out of engagement with the carbon pile in response to rotation of the shaft for varying the compression of the pile and, thereby, the impedance thereof. Probes are provided for sensing battery load current and output voltage, and the output current of an alternator charging unit. A feedback control circuit including a microprocessor operating under stored program control converts the analog probe outputs to digital signals and compares the battery output voltage and load current to selectively variable references for controlling the stepper motor to vary the battery load so as to regulate either the battery load current or the battery output voltage to a predetermined reference value, depending upon the test being performed. A selectively variable timer controls the time period during which the battery is loaded. A display indicates the reference values, the values of the parameters being regulated and the state of the timer.

A linearly moving external part on a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine is contacted with a hand-held rotary encoder, contact tachometer having a hollow handle in which processing circuitry is disposed for converting the rotary encoder output to a waveform signal. This signal, along with a signal responsive to the firing of the number one cylinder, are applied to an engine analyzer processor for display of a single engine cycle of the waveform signal on the CRT oscilloscope of the engine analyzer. The variations in amplitude of the waveform signal correspond to speed variations of the moving part over an engine cycle to give an indication of the relative power contributions of the individual cylinders.

A reversible ratcheting electric power tool has a reversible DC electric motor having an output coupled to drive a drive shaft through a reversible ratchet assembly. The tool housing has a reversing mechanism which includes a manually operable reversing cap rotatable about the axis of the drive shaft for controlling the ratcheting direction of the ratchet assembly, the cap having a pair of projections which respectively engage the actuator buttons of two direction control microswitches coupled through an on-off switch to a battery. When the ratchet assembly is in a neutral or non-ratcheting condition, both microswitches are in a normal deactuated condition connecting both of the motor terminals to the battery negative terminal. When the selector cap shifts the ratchet assembly to a forward ratcheting condition, one microswitch is actuated to connect one of the motor terminals to the battery positive terminal, and when the selector is moved to a reverse ratcheting direction, it actuates the other microswitch to connect the other motor terminal to the battery positive terminal.

The adapter includes a housing containing a rectifier for supplying flash voltages to an LED. The rectifier rectifies inductive signals derived from an inductive pickup. The adapter can be used to enable a spark-ignited engine calibrator to calibrate a diesel-engine-timing meter by converting the inductive electrical signals from the calibrator to light signals for the diesel timing meter. The adapter also can be used to enable a diesel-engine-timing meter and analyze and time a spark-ignited engine by converting the inductive pulses derived from a spark plug wire into light impulses for the diesel-engine-timing meter.

The probe includes a tubular housing having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is adapted to be mounted in place of the glow plug of a selected engine cylinder. A light pipe within the first portion directs light from the combustion zone to a phototransistor within the second portion. The front of the first portion has a reduced size aperture defined by an internal shoulder against which the front of the light pipe is seated. The rear of the first portion carries resilient sealing means which is deformed when the second portion is telescoped thereon so as to provide a detachable, frictional, light-tight thermally insulated connection therebetween. A phototransistor is mounted within the second portion to convert light passing through the light pipe into electrical signals. A cable carries these electrical signals to processing equipment. A base resistor is located in the second portion between the base of the phototransistor and the cable. The part of the first portion that projects from the engine is short with respect to the part that fits into the engine. The projecting portion carries wrench-engaging bosses.
