Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of measuring tool module group technology, and more particularly to a measuring tool that provides visual size adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in domestic decoration projects, measuring tools are mostly tape measures, which are suitable for short-distance measurements. When the length to be measured is greater than 3 meters, 2-3 people are needed to cooperate in the measurement; otherwise, single-person measurement is quite strenuous and prone to large errors. It is also difficult to find someone to assist with measurements in normal work. Furthermore, when dealing with large finished surfaces, walls with special angles of inclination, or walls requiring strict dimensional control, tape measures are often inadequate, and the accuracy of measurements cannot be guaranteed, easily leading to rework, economic losses, and delays in the project schedule.

[0003] If there were a measurement tool composed of multiple functional modules, which could solve measurement needs by combining different modules in different measurement scenarios, and at the same time have attributes such as visualization, controllability, and ease of operation to help designers plan and control the on-site material installation with less manpower and effort, how to solve this problem would become a major challenge in the daily measurement work of designers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a measuring tool that offers visual size adjustment.

[0005] The present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: a measuring tool that provides visual size adjustment, comprising a main body, a support mechanism on the left side of the main body, and a fixing mechanism on the left side of the support mechanism;

[0006] The main structure includes a middle angle module, a measuring tape is slidably connected to the inner wall of the middle angle module, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the right side of the middle angle module, a reading rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, an angle sensor is fixedly connected to the surface of the middle angle module, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the left side of the middle angle module.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the rotating shafts are symmetrically distributed around the reading rod, serving to connect and adjust the mid-section angle module.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, two mid-section angle modules are provided, which are symmetrically distributed around the connecting rod. Each mid-section angle module is equipped with a rotating shaft, a reading rod, and an angle sensor. Several connecting rods are provided, which are distributed at equal intervals.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the mid-section angle module can be used independently, with the same function as the protractor on the market. It can be used for quality inspection of the internal and external corners of walls, or it can be used in the module and placed at the turning point of a finished surface to control the turning angle of the measuring tape.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the support mechanism includes a middle support module, a scale is slidably connected to the inner wall of the middle support module, a fixed block is in contact with the bottom of the scale, a fixed slot is provided at the bottom of the fixed block, a level is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed slot, a shell is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed block, a vertical groove is provided on the surface of the shell, a horizontal groove is provided on the surface of the shell, and a vernier is slidably connected to the surface of the measuring tape.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the middle support module plays the role of supporting the middle measuring tape in the measurement of the overall module, avoiding the error caused by the measuring tape sagging due to its own weight. At the same time, when multiple modules are combined, it also serves as the support point and finishing surface control point for other modules. The horizontal and vertical grooves on the base are mainly for facilitating the horizontal alignment and vertical line laying between modules by using infrared adjustment.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above scheme, two middle support modules are provided, and the two middle support modules are symmetrically distributed with the measuring tape as the center.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the fixing mechanism includes a starting end fixing module, an anti-slip rubber pad is fixedly connected to the left side of the starting end fixing module, a second reading rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the starting end fixing module, and a plug fixing component is fixedly connected inside the starting end fixing module.

[0014] By using the above technical solution, the measuring tape is fixed at both ends by the clamps. In general measurements where high precision is not required (measurement distance is 0 to 3 meters), the error can be controlled within millimeters by visually adjusting the horizontal alignment and tightening the measuring tape.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the anti-slip rubber pad is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and a plurality of anti-slip rubber pads are provided, which are distributed at equal intervals.

[0016] With the above technical solution, anti-slip pads are provided on the left and right ends of each connecting rod.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. This invention can solve various drawbacks of traditional tape measure measurement methods, providing a more convenient measurement method for detailed design workers. It is a visual measurement module group that can measure the finished surface material dimensions of flat and inclined walls. It is suitable for material order measurement, point adjustment, on-site layout and other scenarios, and has the characteristics of visualization, adjustability, saving manpower and flexible combination.

[0019] 2. All modules of this invention are made of plastic shell and are assembled by hollow splicing to reduce their weight. The connection medium with the wall is double-sided foam adhesive (double-sided foam adhesive is used on non-smooth walls and suction cups are used on smooth walls to avoid damaging the wall surface). Anti-slip pads are provided at the sliding positions of the scale in the module, mainly to increase friction and reduce unintentional sliding, but the friction is controlled within a certain range to facilitate size adjustment at any time.
