[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3 , the present invention provides a technical solution of a portable cable diameter measuring tool: Embodiment 1: according to Figure 1 As shown, it includes a digital display vernier caliper 7, a fixed seat 81, a connecting fixture 3, a driving unit and a hand-held rod. The digital display vernier caliper 7 has a sliding part 71, a main scale 72, a movable clamping foot 73 and a fixed clamping foot 74. The digital display vernier caliper 7 is an existing product, and the specific structural connection relationship is not repeated in this embodiment.

[0022] The driving unit includes a shell 1, a threaded rod 21, a driving component and a power shell 13. The bottom of the shell 1 is open. Two bearings are respectively mounted on both ends of the threaded rod 21. The two bearings are respectively mounted on the left and right walls of the shell 1. An internal thread block 22 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 21. The internal thread block 22 is adapted to the inner cavity of the shell 1. The internal thread block 22 slides along the inner cavity of the shell 1 by rotating the threaded rod 21.

[0023] The power shell 13 is integrally connected to the right side surface of the housing 1 , and a bevel gear 1 23 and a bevel gear 24 are arranged inside the power shell 13 . The bevel gear 1 23 is sleeved on the optical axis at the right end of the threaded rod 21 and meshes with the bevel gear 2 24 .

[0024] The fixing seat 81 is fixedly installed on the left side of the power housing 13 , and a slot is provided inside the fixing seat 81 . The right end of the main scale 72 is inserted into the slot to support the digital display vernier caliper 7 .

[0025] The connecting fixture 3 is mounted on the outer side of the sliding member 71 and is detachably connected to the sliding member 71. The top of the connecting fixture 3 is fixedly connected to the internal thread block 22. By connecting the connecting fixture 3 and the sliding member 71, on the one hand, the digital display vernier caliper 7 is assisted in pulling. On the other hand, under the connecting action of the connecting fixture 3, the sliding member can move synchronously with the internal thread block 22.

[0026] The hand-held rod is an insulating sleeve 61 with a hollow interior. The insulating sleeve 61 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the power shell 13. The driving component is a driving rod 42. The top of the driving rod 42 is connected to the bevel gear 24. The lower end thereof passes through the bearing and the insulating sleeve 61 in sequence and is fixedly mounted with a rotating disk 43. The bearing is mounted on the bottom of the power shell 13. The driving rod 42 and the bevel gear 24 are driven to rotate by rotating the rotating disk 43. The bevel gear 24 engages with the transmission bevel gear 1 23 to rotate the threaded rod 21. During the rotation of the threaded rod 21, the internal thread block 22, the sliding member 71 and the movable foot 73 are synchronously moved toward the cable. When the movable foot 73 contacts the cable, the distance between the movable foot 73 and the fixed foot 74 is the diameter of the cable. The digital display vernier caliper 7 has a digital display screen. Electric workers can directly read the measurement results and measure the diameter of the cable. The device has a simple structure and low maintenance cost. It can stand on the ground to perform live measurement of the diameter of high-altitude cables, and is highly practical.

[0027] When used specifically, the present invention is a portable cable diameter measuring tool. By holding the insulating sleeve 61 and operating the tool, the fixed clamping foot 74 is in contact with one side of the cable. Then, the rotating disk 43 is rotated in the forward direction to drive the driving rod 42 and the bevel gear 24 to rotate. The bevel gear 24 engages with the transmission bevel gear 1 23 to rotate the threaded rod 21. During the rotation of the threaded rod 21, the internal thread block 22, the sliding member 71 and the movable clamping foot 73 are synchronously moved toward the cable. When the movable clamping foot 73 contacts the cable, the distance between the movable clamping foot 73 and the fixed clamping foot 74 is the diameter of the cable. Then, the movable clamping foot 73 and the fixed clamping foot 74 are separated from the cable, and the tool is removed. Finally, the electrician reads the measurement result to measure the diameter of the cable.

[0028] Embodiment 2: On the basis of the first embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a threaded hole is opened on the front side of the fixing seat 81, and a locking bolt 82 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The inner end of the locking bolt 82 contacts the main scale 72. The main scale 72 is fixed by the fixing seat 81 and the locking bolt 82 to ensure the stability of the digital display vernier caliper 7 during use.

[0029] Embodiment three: Based on the first embodiment, the differences are as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the handheld rod is a telescopic rod 62, which can be extended and retracted to facilitate the electrician to carry. The top of the telescopic rod 62 is fixedly connected with a screw 52, ​​and the bottom of the power shell 13 is fixedly connected with a nut 51. The screw 52 is threadedly connected to the nut 51, so that the telescopic rod 62 can be disassembled for separate carrying.

[0030] The driving component is a driving motor 41 installed at the bottom of the power shell 13. The driving motor 41 is connected to the bevel gear 24. The bevel gear 24 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 41. The bevel gear 24 meshes with the transmission bevel gear 1 23 to rotate the threaded rod 21.

[0031] It also includes a touch sensor 12, a protective shell 9 and a wireless switch 14. The protective shell 9 is fixedly installed between the shell 1, the power shell 13 and the fixed seat 81, and a controller 11 and a battery 10 are arranged inside the protective shell 9. The touch sensor 12 is fixedly installed on the movable clamping foot 73 and can contact the outer surface of the cable. The wireless switch 14 is installed on the handle of the telescopic rod 62. The battery 10 is electrically connected to the touch sensor 12, the controller 11 and the drive motor 41 respectively to supply power to the touch sensor 12, the controller 11 and the drive motor 41.

[0032] The touch sensor 12 is connected to the controller 11. The touch sensor 12 detects whether the active clamping pin 73 is in contact with the cable. When the active clamping pin 73 is in contact with the cable, the touch sensor 12 sends a signal to the controller 11, indicating that the active clamping pin 73 has contacted the cable. The controller 11 is connected to the drive motor 41. The function of the controller 11 is to immediately stop the operation of the drive motor 41 after receiving the signal from the touch sensor 12. The wireless switch 14 is connected to the drive motor 41 through the controller 11. The wireless switch 14 sends a signal to the controller 11, informing the controller 11 to start driving the motor 41, thereby starting the drive motor 41 to work.

[0033] A charging port for charging the battery 10 is provided on the front side of the protective case 9 .
