[0008] Furthermore, the frame is equipped with multiple levels.

[0009] Furthermore, both the support legs and the bottom of the scale are inverted conical.

[0010] Furthermore, the second adjusting device is slidably connected to the crossbeam.

[0011] A method for using an adjustable portable pad configuration tool includes the following steps:

[0012] S1. Assemble the frame according to the diagram based on the basic dimensions and place it directly above the foundation;

[0013] S2. Rotate the first adjusting gear to adjust the height of the four support legs at the bottom corners of the frame, observe the level, make the entire frame level, and tighten the first fastening bolt to fix the height of the support legs;

[0014] S3. Slide the crossbeam and the second fixing sleeve to position the scale above the mounting pad;

[0015] S4. Rotate the second adjusting gear to adjust the height of the scale so that the lowest elevation of the scale is the same as the calculated elevation of the shim. Tighten the second fastening bolt to fix the scale position. At this time, the lowest elevation of the scale is the calculated elevation of the shim.

[0016] S5. By properly configuring the shims, fill them to the lowest point of the scale, and a set of shims is now configured.

[0017] S6. Adjust the position of the scale by sliding the crossbeam and the second fixing sleeve. Place the scale above the position of the next set of shims. Do not adjust the height of the scale. Directly configure the shims. Repeat this step until all shim sets are configured.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] This patented technology uses multiple splicing rods to splice and fix a frame above the working area. This frame can be repeatedly disassembled and reused. By changing the number of splicing rods, it can be adapted to foundations of various sizes. The frame is leveled by adjusting the height of the support legs through a first adjustment device. As a leveling standard, a crossbeam is slidably set on the level frame, and a ruler extends downward from the crossbeam. The elevation of the lowest point of the ruler is the elevation of the upper surface of the shims. Then, the shims are configured. By moving the crossbeam, the ruler can be moved to configure shim groups at different positions. The height of the ruler can also be adjusted through a second adjustment device to configure shim groups at different heights. This work can be completed by only one person, saving labor costs and reducing the steps of repeatedly trying to configure shims and repeatedly measuring elevations. It is more convenient and faster, and the configuration efficiency is higher. Moreover, the more shim groups there are in the area where the frame is located, the less time is saved by disassembling and repositioning the frame. The more time is saved, the more time is saved.

[0025] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0026] Example 1: An adjustable portable shim configuration tool includes a frame 1 assembled from multiple splicing rods. Each frame of the frame 1 has a level 15 on its upper surface for easy inspection of the frame 1's levelness. Multiple first fixing sleeves 7 are provided on the outer side of the frame 1. Each first fixing sleeve 7 has a sliding support leg 3, which supports the frame 1 to a certain height, providing space for the positioning of a ruler 6 and the installation of the shim assembly. A first rack 8 is provided on one side of each support leg 3. A first adjusting gear 9, meshing with the first rack 8, is rotatably provided inside the first fixing sleeve 7. The first adjusting gear 9 is controlled to rotate by a knob outside the first fixing sleeve 7. A first fastening bolt 10 is threaded onto the outer side of the first fixing sleeve 7. One end of the first fastening bolt 10 inside the first fixing sleeve 7 can contact the outer side of the support leg 3. The position of the support leg 3 is fixed or moved by the end of the first fastening bolt 10 contacting or moving away from the support leg 3. Rotating the first adjusting gear 9 drives the support leg 3 to move up and down, adjusting the frame 1 to a horizontal state. Then, tightening the first fastening bolt 10 fixes the height of the support leg 3. A crossbeam 4 is slidably provided on the frame 1, and a second fixing sleeve 11 is slidably provided on the outside of the crossbeam 4. The horizontal and vertical positions of the scale 6 in the frame 1 can be adjusted so that shim sets can be arranged in different positions. The scale 6 is slidably provided in the second fixing sleeve 11. A second rack 12 is provided on one side of the scale 6. A second adjusting gear 13 that meshes with the second rack 12 is rotatably provided in the second fixing sleeve 11. The second adjusting gear 13 is also controlled by a knob to rotate. A second fastening bolt 14 is threadedly connected to the second fixing sleeve 11. One end of the second fastening bolt 14 located in the second fixing sleeve 11 can contact the outside of the scale 6. When it moves away from the scale 6, it can make the scale 6 move up and down. When it contacts the scale 6, it fixes the position of the scale 6. The bottom ends of the support leg 3 and the scale 6 are both inverted cones.

[0027] Example 2: A method for using an adjustable portable pad configuration tool, comprising the following steps:

[0028] S1. According to the basic dimensions, assemble multiple splicing rods into frame 1 as shown in the diagram and place it directly above the basic dimensions. Adjust the size of frame 1 by increasing or decreasing the number of splicing rods so that the size of frame 1 is slightly smaller than the basic dimensions. Then place the tool directly above the basic dimensions so that the center line of the tool is basically consistent with the center line of the basic dimensions.

[0029] S2. Rotate the first adjusting gear 9 to adjust the height of the four support legs 3 at the bottom corners of the frame 1. Observe the level 15 to make the entire frame 1 level. Tighten the first fastening bolt 10 to fix the height of the support legs. After adjusting the level of the frame 1, ensure that the height difference between the lower surface of the frame 1 and the foundation is greater than 5-10cm of the thickness of the grouting layer of the auxiliary equipment.

[0030] S3. Slide the crossbeam 4 and the second fixed sleeve 11 so that the scale 6 is above the position of the mounting pad;

[0031] S4. Rotate the knob to control the second adjusting gear 13 to rotate, thereby adjusting the height of the scale 6 so that the lowest elevation of the scale 6 is the same as the calculated elevation of the shim. Tighten the second fastening bolt 14 to fix the position of the scale 6. At this time, the lowest elevation of the scale 6 is the calculated elevation of the shim. Alternatively, the first set of shims can be placed in the traditional way, and then the elevation of the first set of shims can be used to determine the lower elevation of the pointer of the scale 6.

[0032] S5. By adjusting the thickness of the shims and the staggered distance of the inclined shims, the elevation of the shim group is consistent with the lowest point of the pointer on the ruler 6, and the total number of shims in the shim group does not exceed the specified value. A set of shims is now configured.

[0033] S6. Slide the crossbeam 4 and the second fixing sleeve 11 to adjust the position of the scale 6. Place the scale 6 above the position of the next set of shims. Do not adjust the height of the scale 6. Directly configure the shims. Repeat this step until all shim sets are configured.

[0034] After all the shim sets for a foundation are configured, remove the tool and move it to the next foundation, then configure the shim sets for the next foundation using the same steps.

[0035] With the tool of this patent, only one person is needed to complete the configuration of the shim set, saving labor costs and reducing the steps of repeatedly trying to configure the shims and repeatedly measuring the elevation. It is more convenient and faster, and the configuration efficiency is higher. Moreover, the more shim sets there are in the area where the frame 1 is located, the less time is saved by disassembling and reassembling the frame 1 and moving its position. The more time is saved, the more time is saved.
