Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Triangle rulers are generally used for marking in carpentry, but can also be used in the construction field or other fields for drawing.

[0025] See Figure 1An embodiment of the present invention provides a triangle ruler, comprising a triangle ruler body 1 and a support plate 2 rotatably arranged on the triangle ruler body 1. The support plate 2 comprises an upper support plate 21 and a lower support plate 22, and the triangle ruler body 1 is arranged between the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22. The structures of the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 are generally the same and have a certain thickness. When used on a square wooden board, the side of the support plate 2 is placed against the side of the square wooden board, and the triangle ruler body 1 is tightly attached to the upper surface of the square wooden board. Length scale lines are provided on the right-angled sides and the hypotenuse of the triangle ruler body 1 to facilitate drawing straight lines. However, in the actual processing process, the wood is not square and may have anisotropy, so the support plate 2 is configured to be rotatable.

[0026] Furthermore, one side of the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 are fixed to the triangle ruler body 1 through the rotating shaft 5, and the other side of the two can be locked. Circumferentially distributed grooves 11 are provided on the triangle ruler body 1, and the upper support plate 21 is provided with an elastic column 3, and the elastic column 3 is provided with a protrusion 31; when the support plate 2 rotates along the circumferential direction of the grooves 11, the protrusion 31 can be stuck into different grooves 11. After the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 are clamped, the gap between the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 is kept constant, and during the rotation process, the protrusion 31 is stuck into different grooves 11 to form different angles. Scale lines are provided along the circumferential distribution direction of the grooves 11, so that the rotation angle can be clearly seen, which is convenient for better measurement.

[0027] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The triangle ruler body 1 is a right triangle, the rotating shaft 5 is arranged on the center line of the triangle ruler body 1, and the rotating shaft 5 is arranged on the side close to the right angle vertex of the triangle ruler body 1. Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the backrest in the initial position, that is, the backrest coincides with one of the right-angled sides. This is a common usage. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the back plate after rotation, the angle change of the grooves varies according to the number of grooves 11. Generally, the more grooves there are, the smaller the angle change between adjacent grooves and the higher the precision.

[0028] Furthermore, the groove is in a spherical crown shape, and the grooves can be connected by arc grooves. The protrusion 31 is also arranged to have an arc surface, so that it is not easy to get stuck when moving.

[0029] For more details, see Figure 4The elastic column 3 includes a shell 32 and an elastic body 33 arranged in the shell; the protrusion 31 is a sphere stuck on the shell 32, and the protrusion 31 is connected to the elastic body 33 and can compress the elastic body 33. The shell 32 is detachably fixed to the back plate 2. The protrusion 31 is an iron ball, at least half of which is stuck in the shell 32. The protrusion 31 can roll freely on the shell 32 to reduce friction. The elastic body 33 can preferably be a spring, or other elastic objects can be selected, so that the protrusion 31 always tends to be pushed away from the shell 32. The shell 32 has space to accommodate the protrusion 31. When pushed by external force, the protrusion 31 can continue to retract into the shell 32.

[0030] For further information, see Figure 3 The upper support plate 21 is provided with an upper protrusion 211 on the side closest to the set square body 1, and a lower protrusion 221 on the side of the set square body 1. The elastic post 3 is disposed on the upper protrusion 211. This reduces the area of ​​the set square body 1 blocked by the support plate 2, thereby reducing the contact area. The lower support plate 22 is provided with an elastic post 3 on at least one of the two support plates 22, close to the upper support plate 21. Preferably, the elastic post 3 is provided on both sides of the support plate 2. In this case, corresponding grooves 11 are also provided on the lower support plate 22, thereby reducing wear during movement.

[0031] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 are fixed on the side away from the rotating shaft 5 by bolts 4. The tightness of the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 is controlled by bolts 4, and they need to be adjusted to the optimal tightness before use. If it is too tight, the support plate will be too difficult to move and will be worn too much. If it is too loose, the support plate will be too easy to move and difficult to fix, which will affect the surveying and mapping accuracy. Furthermore, the distance between the center line of the bolt 4 and the center line of the rotating shaft 5 is less than or equal to the length of the right angle side of the set square body 1, and preferably the distance is equal. In this way, the rotation angle of the support plate is controlled to be 0-90 degrees, and will not rotate 360 ​​degrees.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, in order to further meet the actual needs, the triangle ruler is set to be multifunctional, see Figure 1 The set ruler body 1 is provided with a triangular hole 12, a circular hole 13, and a rectangular hole 14. These holes can be used for marking or hanging on a wall for storage. The set ruler body 1 is provided with an arc groove 15, which is arranged along the arc formed by the groove 11. Angle scale lines are distributed along the arc groove 15. Lines can be marked using the arc groove, and angles can be observed at the intersection of the back plate and the arc groove 15, meeting the user's different needs.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
