The invention discloses a simple device for dynamically measuring shaking of a rotating electrode bar. The device comprises a guide rail top plate fixed to a furnace wall, transparent glass and a sliding groove rail are arranged on the guide rail top plate, a support is hung below the guide rail top plate through wheels, observation glass marked with concentric circle scales is embedded on the support, a shading plate is arranged on the bottom face of the support, and is provided with an upper reflection mirror face and a lower reflection mirror face, the mirror face body of the upper reflection mirror face faces downwards, the mirror face body of the lower reflection mirror face faces upwards, the centers of the upper reflection mirror face and the lower reflection mirror face are staggered, the two mirror faces are perpendicular to the shading plate, and the shading plate is perpendicular to a support panel; the upper reflection mirror face and the lower reflection mirror face are parallel to the round observation glass, a laser emitter with the adjustable angle is arranged on the right side of the shading plate. Through the device, the running state of the bar can be conveniently and rapidly judged, the bar running state can be precisely subject to quantitative recording, whether running of a certain degree is safe or not is judged through actual operation, and according tothe size of detected light spot track, safe running process parameters can be determined.
