Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of measuring tools, and particularly to a digital display angle level that can be attached to a wall surface and its working method. The present invention is applicable to fields such as construction engineering, interior decoration, and industrial manufacturing that require precise horizontal, vertical, and angle measurements, and is particularly suitable for high-precision measurement and marking operations on vertical surfaces such as wall surfaces. Background Art

[0002] Traditional level rulers usually include one or more spirit levels. Users determine whether the object to be measured is in a horizontal or vertical state by observing the position of the spirit level or the numerical display screen used to show the state of the spirit level. However, with the continuous improvement of the accuracy requirements in modern construction and decoration projects, the existing level rulers have shown some limitations in certain application scenarios.

[0003] 1. Difficulties in using on wall surfaces

[0004] In construction and decoration projects, it is often necessary to perform horizontal, vertical, or specific angle measurements and markings on wall surfaces. However, if the level ruler is directly attached to the wall surface for use in the prior art, the following problems will be encountered:

[0005] a) Difficult to observe: Users need to very carefully observe the display of the spirit level on the ruler body, which often requires users to maintain uncomfortable postures or use auxiliary tools (such as ladders) to obtain a good viewing angle.

[0006] b) Multiple attempts: If a large error is found after the first attachment, the user needs to remove the level ruler, then make adjustments and reattach it. This process often needs to be repeated multiple times, which is both time-consuming and laborious.

[0007] c) Difficult to make precise adjustments: It is very difficult to make small angle adjustments on the wall surface because each adjustment requires completely removing the level ruler and repositioning it.

[0008] d) Inconvenient to mark: After determining the correct position, the user also needs to make a mark while keeping the position of the level ruler unchanged, which increases the complexity of the operation and the possibility of errors.

[0009] 2. Single function

[0010] Traditional level rulers usually can only perform basic horizontal, vertical, and simple angle measurement functions. In modern construction and decoration projects, it is often necessary to perform more complex measurement tasks, such as precise angle setting, continuous angle monitoring, etc., and these requirements are difficult to be met by traditional level rulers.

[0011] To solve the above problems, some improved level rulers have been proposed. For example:

[0012] The authorized announcement number CN201277859Y discloses a digital display angle level, which includes a main scale and a driven scale that can rotate around it. The main scale is provided with horizontal and vertical bubble windows, as well as an angle display. This design allows the angle value to be directly read through the angle display screen, improving the measurement accuracy and operation convenience.

[0013] The authorized announcement number CN2767960Y discloses a multi-functional angle level, which includes a main scale, an angle scale and a rotating mechanism. This design can not only be used for horizontal and vertical measurements, but also for drawing equidistant lines, equidistant points and arbitrary angle lines. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating body, a rotating seat, a positioning spring, a positioning steel ball and a scale disk, etc., enhancing the functional diversity of the level.

[0014] These improved levels have solved the problem of the single function of traditional levels to a certain extent, improving the accuracy and convenience of angle measurement. However, they still do not well solve the difficulties in using on the wall surface, especially in terms of precise adjustment and fixation. In addition, these designs do not fully consider the needs of continuous monitoring and precise adjustment on the wall surface. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0091] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with all the drawings. It should be noted that the following description is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the appended claims.

[0092] Embodiment 1:

[0093] A digital display angle spirit level that can be used by attaching to a wall. For the convenience of description and understanding, referring to Figure 1 , the side with the digital display is defined as the front, the opposite side is defined as the back, the direction in which the numerical value is displayed positively upward is defined as the upper side, and the opposite direction is defined as the lower side.

[0094] It mainly includes the following parts: a spirit level 10, an angle gauge 30, a rotating mechanism 20 for rotating the angle gauge 30 around the spirit level 10, an angle display screen 40 for displaying the rotation angle of the angle gauge 30, a waterproof glue 50 provided on the spirit level 10 for pasting to the wall, and an auxiliary positioning and fine-tuning mechanism 60 provided on the spirit level 10 for adjusting the precise position of the spirit level 10 before the waterproof glue 50 pastes to the wall.

[0095] The spirit level 10 is usually long and strip-shaped, with its length much greater than the width of the cross-section. The cross-section is often designed as a rectangle, but it is not limited to this. Other suitable shapes can be adopted according to actual needs, such as an octagon or an ellipse, to meet the requirements of different usage scenarios. The bubble levels in the spirit level 10 usually have multiple directions such as horizontal, vertical, and 45 degrees. Users can select the appropriate bubble level for measurement according to their needs. On the back of the spirit level 10, near the upper and lower long sides, there is a track parallel to and of the same length as the side or customized according to the set length. For the convenience of description and distinction, the upper one is defined as the upper track 11, and the lower one is defined as the lower track 12. These tracks can be used to install other accessories or auxiliary devices to increase the functionality of the spirit level.

[0096] The length of the angle ruler 30 is less than that of the spirit level 10. One end of it is hinged to one end of the spirit level 10 through a rotating mechanism 20, and the other end is a free end. The angle ruler 30 is provided with scale lines, and the angle value can be directly read. For example, there is a large scale every 5 degrees and a small scale every 1 degree, which is convenient for accurate measurement. The rotating mechanism 20 is arranged at the end of the spirit level 10 near one end. When the angle ruler 30 coincides with the center line in the long direction of the spirit level 10 and is viewed from the front, the angle ruler 30 is completely hidden behind the spirit level 10. At this time, a small part at both ends of the back of the spirit level 10 is not covered by the angle ruler 30, and the reserved space is used to arrange the auxiliary positioning and fine-tuning mechanism 60.

[0097] The components in the rotating mechanism 20 have damping characteristics to ensure the stability and accuracy of angle adjustment. This damping characteristic can be achieved through friction pads or damping oil, etc., making the angle adjustment flexible and stable. The angle ruler 30 is located on the back of the spirit level 10, and the two basic plate surfaces are in contact. This design can reduce the overall thickness and improve the convenience of use.

[0098] The angle display screen 40 is arranged corresponding to the rotating mechanism 20, and some of their components are connected (the connection is prior art and will not be elaborated). The display side is located on the front of the angle ruler 30. The angle display screen 40 can display the angle value accurate to 0.1 degree, and at the same time, it can also display other relevant information, such as battery power, measurement mode, etc.

[0099] The waterproof glue 50 is arranged on the back of both ends of the spirit level 10 or on the end caps 13 at both ends. It uses high-strength and reusable materials (such as silicone with a special formula), which not only ensures the bonding strength with the wall surface but also is convenient for cleaning and multiple uses. This design enables the spirit level to be firmly attached to the wall surface for long-term measurement or marking.

[0100] The auxiliary positioning and fine-tuning mechanism 60 is one of the core innovations of the present invention, and includes an auxiliary positioning component 61 and a fine-tuning component 62. These two components enable the level 10 to be flexibly applied in different scenarios, greatly improving its practicality and accuracy. Specifically, it can meet the application requirements of the level 10 in two states:

[0101] 1. Normal use status:

[0102] Reference Figure 4-5 When the level 10 is used normally and the angle ruler 30 is not needed, a part of the auxiliary positioning assembly 61 can be clamped to the angle ruler 30. (The auxiliary positioning assembly 61 unlocks the part clamped to the angle ruler 30 by sliding) Figure 4 The card connection status is shown, and Figure 5 The detached state is shown. This snap-on design cleverly limits the rotation of the angle ruler 30, so that the use of the level ruler 10 in this state is completely consistent with that of a traditional level ruler. For example, the user can easily measure the horizontality of a desktop, the verticality of a wall, or check the flatness of a floor, just like using an ordinary level ruler.

[0103] 2. Wall pasting status:

[0104] When the level ruler 10 needs to be attached to a wall for use, the auxiliary positioning component 61 and the fine adjustment component 62 will work together to ensure the accurate positioning and fine adjustment of the level ruler 10 on the wall. This application is particularly suitable for scenes that require monitoring or precise marking, such as determining the precise horizontal line during interior decoration during construction.

[0105] The specific structure of the auxiliary positioning component 61 includes the following key parts:

[0106] 1) Upper sliding block 611:

[0107] The sliding fit on the upper rail 11 ensures smooth movement.

[0108] Its working stroke is limited to a small range on one side of the free end of the angle ruler 30 when the angle ruler 30 is hidden (refer to Figure 6-8 ). This design not only ensures the function is realized, but also avoids unnecessary interference.

[0109] The first sliding rod 612 is provided with a first connecting surface 01 to provide a connection interface for other components. A groove 613 is provided on the first connecting surface 01 to be connected with other components of the auxiliary positioning assembly 61. This connection design makes the connection between the components firm and removable, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0110] 2) Downward sliding block 614:

[0111] Slidingly cooperate with the lower track 12 to achieve stable movement.

[0112] Its working stroke covers the middle section of the spirit level 10, providing a larger adjustment range.

[0113] It includes a second sliding rod 615 that slidingly cooperates with the lower track 12 and has a second connecting surface 02 at a specific angle relative to the horizontal plane. A pivot hole 03 is provided at the center of the second connecting surface 02 (see Figure 12 ), providing a fulcrum for rotation. An avoidance groove 04 is provided adjacent to the second sliding rod 615 to increase the flexibility of the structure.

[0114] Special note: The design of the lower sliding block 614 has multiple functions, which are reflected in the following two key features:

[0115] ① Rotation function: The lower sliding block 614 can rotate around the second sliding rod 615 by a specific angle away from the spirit level. This rotation angle can at least disengage the component that cooperates with the groove 613. The importance of this design is that it allows the auxiliary positioning component 61 to flexibly switch between different usage states.

[0116] For example, in the normal usage state, the lower sliding block 614 may be closely attached to the spirit level 10; while when it needs to be switched to the wall pasting state, the user can easily rotate the lower sliding block 614 to disengage it from its original position, creating space for subsequent operations.

[0117] ② Switching function: The specific angle design of the second connecting surface 02 enables the auxiliary positioning component 61 to switch between two application states. The specific operation is as follows:

[0118] In one application state (such as the normal usage state), the component that cooperates with the second connecting surface 02 first rotates 180 degrees relative to the pivot hole 03. Then, combined with the rotation of the lower sliding block 614 around the second sliding rod 615. Through the combination of these two steps of operations, the auxiliary positioning component 61 can be switched to another application state (such as the wall pasting state).

[0119] This multi-functional design greatly enhances the practicality of the spirit level. Users can quickly switch between the two usage modes according to different work requirements without replacing tools or making complex adjustments.

[0120] 3) The main body 07 of the plate structure:

[0121] One end has a connecting mating surface 05, and a pivot shaft 06 that is closely and rotatably mated with the pivot hole 03 is provided at its center. The other end is provided with a clamping portion that can be detachably clamped with the groove 613. This detachable design facilitates assembly and maintenance.

[0122] 4) Rotation - cooperation area 08:

[0123] It is arranged on the lower track 12 in the middle section of the spirit level 10. Its main function is to provide a larger rotation range for the lower sliding block 614 at this position, increasing the flexibility of adjustment. It includes an avoidance notch 081 and a retaining part 082. The design of the avoidance notch 081 ensures that it will not interfere with the rotation of the lower sliding block 614, making the adjustment process smoother; when the lower sliding block 614 rotates, the retaining part 082 will enter the avoidance groove 04, and this design prevents the lower sliding block 614 from detaching from the lower track 12, ensuring the stability and safety of the structure.

[0124] 5) Connection mechanism 09 arranged on the main body 07 for pre - establishing a connection with the wall:

[0125] Refer to Figure 3-13 , the connection mechanism 09 includes a mechanism base 091 and a connection body 092. The mechanism base 091 has an outer wall and an internal accommodation space, and its internal accommodation space is perpendicular to the plate surface of the main body 07. This design ensures the stability and space utilization efficiency of the connection mechanism 09. The connection body 092 is arranged in the mechanism base 091 and can slide and rotate relatively. One end is a pressing part 093 for easy operation; the other end is a wall connection head 094 for establishing a preliminary connection with the wall.

[0126] The wall connection head 094 adopts a diversified design and can be a suction cup, a micro - adsorption device or a specially designed adhesive surface to adapt to walls of different materials and surface conditions. This flexibility enables the spirit level 10 to be effectively used in various working environments.

[0127] In the normal use state of the spirit level 10, the mechanism base 091 is hidden in the space reserved on the back of the spirit level 10, without affecting the daily measurement operation. When it is necessary to switch to the wall - sticking use state, the operator flips and moves the main body 07 to make the mechanism base 091 rotate to Figure 3 the fully exposed position shown. This design realizes the rapid conversion of functions and improves work efficiency.

[0128] The usage steps are as follows:

[0129] a. Operate the pressing part 093 to make the connection body 092 slide in the mechanism base 091, and the wall connection head 094 extends accordingly.

[0130] b. Bring the wall connection head 094 into contact with the wall to establish a preliminary connection.

[0131] c. Utilize the rotational design of the connection body 092, with the wall connection head 094 as the support and positioning point, to adjust the angle of the spirit level 10. For example, the operator can hold the body of the spirit level 10 and adjust it to the horizontal position.

[0132] d. After the angle adjustment is completed, press the body of the level against the wall surface so that the waterproof glue 50 adheres to the wall surface to achieve the final fixation.

[0133] Combined with the aforementioned auxiliary positioning component 61 and fine-tuning component 62, the connecting mechanism 09 further enhances the functionality of the spirit level 10. The operator can first achieve a rough preliminary positioning through the connecting mechanism 09, then use the fine-tuning component 62 for fine adjustment, and finally achieve a firm adhesion through the waterproof glue 50. This multi-level positioning and adjustment mechanism ensures high-precision and reliable measurement.

[0134] The fine-tuning component 62 is integrally arranged in the space reserved near the rotation mechanism 20 in the spirit level 10. Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 14-15 , and its specific structure includes the following key parts:

[0135] 1) Arc-shaped waist hole 621: It is arranged on the body of the spirit level 10 and is located next to the angle display screen 40. The center of the arc of this arc coincides with the center of the cross-section after the wall surface connector 094 in the auxiliary positioning component 61 is connected to the wall surface. The back surface of the spirit level 10 extends the side wall of the arc-shaped waist hole 621 to increase the structural strength and stability. The inner wall of the arc-shaped waist hole 621 has meshing teeth 622 and a clamping layer 623 with elastic deformation characteristics. The clamping layer 623 can be made of materials such as rubber to provide a reliable clamping effect and buffering function.

[0136] 2) Adjusting part 624: It is inserted into the arc-shaped waist hole 621 and successively includes the following coaxial components from the front surface to the back surface of the spirit level 10:

[0137] Knob part 625: The external structure for the user to operate.

[0138] Gear teeth 626: They cooperate with the meshing teeth 622 in the arc-shaped waist hole 621.

[0139] First positioning flange 261: It is used to cooperate with the clamping layer 623.

[0140] Transition section 627: It connects each component.

[0141] Second positioning flange 271: It is used to cooperate with the clamping layer 623 to achieve initial positioning.

[0142] Suction cup seat 628: It is used to install the suction cup.

[0143] Suction cup 281: It is installed in the suction cup seat 628 and can rotate around its axis. The knob part 625 can control the rotation of the suction cup seat 628, but the rotation of the suction cup 281 is not restricted. The suction cup 281 is made of rubber or soft plastic and generates an adsorption force through deformation.

[0144] Working principle and usage method of the adjusting member 624:

[0145] 1. Non-working state: The adjusting member 624 is located at the arc center of the arc-shaped waist hole 621, and the second positioning flange 271 contacts the clamping layer 623 to achieve initial pre-positioning.

[0146] 2. Working state conversion: When the spirit level 10 needs to be pasted on the wall for use, the operation steps are as follows:

[0147] a. Complete the preliminary connection with the wall through the wall connection head 094 of the connection mechanism 09.

[0148] b. Press the knob part 625 towards the wall to make the second positioning flange 271 disengage from the clamping layer 623.

[0149] c. Continue to press until the suction cup 281 contacts the wall and deforms to generate an adsorption force.

[0150] d. At this time, the first positioning flange 261 enters the clamping layer 623, and at the same time, the gear teeth 626 mesh with the meshing teeth 622.

[0151] 3. Fine-tuning operation: Rotate the knob part 625 to the left or right, and the gear teeth 626 drive the meshing teeth 622 to move, so that the whole spirit level 10 rotates around the cross-section center of the wall connection head 094 for fine angle adjustment.

[0152] This design combines the advantages of the auxiliary positioning component 61 and the fine-tuning component 62 to achieve the rapid fixation and precise adjustment of the spirit level 10 on the wall. Users can first achieve rough pre-positioning through the connection mechanism 09, and then use the fine-tuning component 62 for fine adjustment to meet the needs of various precision measurements and markings. This innovative design significantly improves the practicality and accuracy of the spirit level in the fields of building construction, interior decoration, etc.

[0153] Refer to the appendix Figure 1-15 , the usage method of the spirit level 10 includes:

[0154] I. Conventional usage state

[0155] 1. Ensure that the angle scale 30 is completely hidden behind the spirit level 10.

[0156] 2. A part of the auxiliary positioning component 61 is clamped to the angle scale 30 to restrict its rotation.

[0157] 3. Use the spirit level bubble or the display screen showing the state of the spirit level bubble on the spirit level 10 for horizontal, vertical or 45-degree angle measurement.

[0158] 4. When angle measurement is required, use the angle scale 30 and the angle display screen 40.

[0159] II. Wall pasting state

[0160] a) Preparation stage

[0161] 1. Operation of the auxiliary positioning component 61: Rotate the lower sliding block 614 around the second sliding rod 615 away from the spirit level. The rotation angle should be sufficient to completely disengage the component that cooperates with the groove 613.

[0162] 2. Operation of the main body 07: Rotate the component that cooperates with the second connection surface 02 by 180 degrees relative to the pivot hole 03.

[0163] 3. Movement of the lower sliding block 614: Slide the lower sliding block 614 along the lower track 12 to the fitting rotation area 08 in the middle section of the spirit level 10. Make the lower sliding block 614 enter the avoidance notch 081, and at the same time, the retaining part 082 enters the avoidance groove 04.

[0164] 4. Exposure of the connecting mechanism 09: Flip and move the main body 07 to completely expose the mechanism seat 091 from the space left on the back of the spirit level 10.

[0165] 5. Preparation of the wall connection head 094: Operate the pressing part 093 to make the connecting body 092 slide within the mechanism seat 091. Ensure that the wall connection head 094 completely extends.

[0166] b) Preliminary pre-positioning

[0167] 1. Preliminary wall connection: Bring the wall connection head 094 into contact with the wall to establish a preliminary connection.

[0168] 2. Angle adjustment of the spirit level 10: Utilize the rotation design of the connecting body 092 with the wall connection head 094 as the support positioning point. Adjust the spirit level 10 to a roughly horizontal position. Make a rough positioning with reference to the bubble level and the angle display screen 40.

[0169] c) Fine-tuning operation

[0170] 1. Start of the fine-tuning component 62: Press the knob part 625 towards the wall. Make the second positioning flange 271 disengage from the clamping layer 623. Continue to press until the suction cup 281 contacts the wall and deforms to generate an adsorption force. Ensure that the first positioning flange 261 enters the clamping layer 623. At the same time, the gear teeth 626 mesh with the meshing teeth 622.

[0171] 2. Fine angle adjustment: Rotate the knob part 625 to the left or right. The entire spirit level 10 will be adjusted with the cross-section center of the wall connection head 094 as the rotation center.

[0172] d) Final fixation

[0173] Press the body of the spirit level 10 tightly against the wall.

[0174] The waterproof glue 50 is bonded to the wall surface to achieve final fixation. During this process, the following changes occur simultaneously: the first positioning flange 261 is disengaged from the clamping layer 623. The second positioning flange 271 enters the clamping layer 623. The gear teeth 626 are separated from the meshing teeth 622. These changes cause the knob portion 625 to no longer affect the angle of the level 10, thereby locking the final position.

[0175] 3. State switching

[0176] For regular use and wall pasting: follow the above steps.

[0177] Wall pasting for normal use: Carefully remove the level 10. Reverse the above steps and restore the components to their original positions. Make sure that the angle ruler 30 is hidden behind the level 10 again.

[0178] In some embodiments, in order to make the application of the level 10 more flexible, especially when the angle ruler 30 needs to be frequently switched between the hidden and exposed states when the level ruler 10 is used against a wall, the rotating mechanism 20 is improved. Specifically, a rotating arm 21 is added to the rotating mechanism 20, and a fan disc 22 is provided on the rotating arm 21, and the fan disc 22 rotates with the rotation of the angle ruler 30. When the angle ruler 30 is hidden, the back projection of the fan disc 22 partially overlaps with the suction cup seat 628. After the level ruler 10 is attached to the wall, when the angle ruler 30 is hidden on the back of the level ruler 10, the fan disc 22 and the suction cup seat 628 will conflict. At this time, by rotating the knob part 625, the suction cup seat 628 can drive the fan disc 22 to rotate, thereby driving the angle ruler 30 from the hidden state to the exposed state. This design makes it easy to operate the angle ruler 30 even when the level ruler 10 is used against a wall, and realizes the flexible switching between its hidden and exposed states, so as to facilitate the angle setting. After the operation is completed, the angle ruler 30 can be returned to the hidden state by reverse operation.

[0179] In order to improve the accuracy and stability of the operation, a tooth structure or an anti-slip texture can be added to the contact portion between the fan disc 22 and the suction cup seat 628, so as to ensure that the transmission between the two is more reliable and also provide more precise angle adjustment.

[0180] In some embodiments, protective covers are provided on the waterproof glue 50 and the wall connection head 094 to prevent dust.

[0181] In some embodiments, a limiter is provided in the lower rail 12 for the lower sliding block 614 to move toward the avoidance groove 04 , and the limiter is used to limit the travel of the lower sliding block 614 to move toward the avoidance groove 04 .

[0182] Embodiment 2:

[0183] In some application scenarios, there may not be enough space below the spirit level for the auxiliary positioning component 61 to flip down for pre-positioning. In response to this situation, we have designed the auxiliary positioning component 61 differently so that it can complete the pre-positioning operation without the need to flip down, thus enabling the pre-positioning function to be achieved while remaining on the spirit level. Refer to Figure 16-17 , the specific design is as follows:

[0184] 1. Integrated base design:

[0185] The auxiliary positioning component 61 adopts an integrated design, including a base 616. This base 616 integrates the original main body 07, upper sliding block 611, and lower sliding block 614 to form a compact overall structure. This design not only simplifies the component but also improves the overall stability and durability.

[0186] 2. Retention and optimization of the connection mechanism:

[0187] The basic structure of the connection mechanism 09 remains unchanged and is still installed on the panel surface of the base 616. However, in order to adapt to the new operation mode, it may be necessary to fine-tune it:

[0188] Adjust the length or stroke of the connecting body 092 to ensure that it can effectively extend and retract in the new operation mode.

[0189] 3. Operation hole design:

[0190] On the spirit level 10, an operation hole 617 is opened on the side of the base 616 for locking the angle ruler 30. This operation hole has the following characteristics:

[0191] a. The size and shape are optimized to be convenient for operation without affecting the structural strength of the spirit level.

[0192] b. After the base 616 slides to unlock the angle ruler 30, at least part of the operation hole 617 coincides with the wall connection head 094 of the connection mechanism 09.

[0193] c. The edge of the operation hole 617 may need to be processed, such as chamfering or rubber bushings, to improve the comfort and safety of use.

[0194] 4. Operation process:

[0195] a. The user first unlocks the angle ruler 30 by sliding the base 616.

[0196] b. After unlocking, the operation hole 617 is aligned with the wall connection head 094.

[0197] c. The user can directly press the wall connection head 094 through the operation hole 617 to achieve the initial connection with the wall.

[0198] d. After connection, the user can finely adjust the position and angle of the spirit level.

[0199] 5. Considerations for multifunctional design:

[0200] Consider adding a quick locking / unlocking mechanism to the base 616 to facilitate the user to quickly switch between normal use and wall-pasting modes.

[0201] Add visual or tactile indicators around the operation hole 617 to help the user operate accurately under different lighting conditions.

[0202] Although the present invention has been disclosed in connection with certain embodiments shown and described in detail, those skilled in the art who benefit from the disclosure herein will readily appreciate various modifications and improvements thereto. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the present invention will not be limited by the foregoing examples, but will be understood in the broadest sense permitted by law.
