Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of handheld measuring tools, in particular to a handheld measuring device based on carbon fiber material. Background Art

[0002] Through long-term experience in the application of on-site equipment and instrumentation at oil depots, combined with in-depth research on popular handheld devices (such as level gauges, density meters, and thermometers), we have discovered that oil depot metering personnel face significant weight and operational difficulties when performing tank loading operations. Existing handheld devices are primarily made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy and weigh approximately 4 kilograms. This not only increases the labor intensity of metering personnel but also poses a potential safety hazard. The main issues with existing handheld devices are as follows: (1) Weight problem: The increase in weight caused by the existing equipment materials (stainless steel, aluminum alloy) affects the convenience of operation and work efficiency.

[0003] (2) Safety hazards: Heavy equipment increases the risk during use, especially when working at height or in unstable environments.

[0004] (3) Material durability: Although stainless steel and aluminum alloys perform well in terms of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, they may still have limitations in specific working environments.

[0005] Carbon fiber materials are widely used in the aerospace industry for their exceptional strength and lightweight properties. Using carbon fiber to reduce the weight of handheld equipment currently used in oil depots not only improves the job satisfaction of metering personnel, but also reduces their workload, boosting work efficiency and reducing labor intensity. This is particularly important for operators who frequently perform tank measurements.

[0006] Therefore, a technical solution is proposed to replace the outer shell, internal wheel and other heavier materials of the handheld device with carbon fiber. By utilizing the high strength, light weight and excellent corrosion resistance of carbon fiber, the weight of the equipment can be significantly reduced, the operational convenience and safety can be improved, and the weight and safety issues of handheld devices in oil depot operations can be solved, and the durability and work efficiency of the equipment can be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In response to the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, the present invention aims to provide a carbon fiber handheld metering device to solve the weight and safety problems of handheld devices in oil depot operations and improve the durability and work efficiency of the equipment.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a carbon fiber handheld metering device, comprising a base in the device and a shell installed on the base by bolts, a wheel installed on a support plate in the shell by bearings, and a crank installed on the wheel by bolts. The base, shell, wheel and crank in the device are all made of carbon fiber material.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) Weight reduction: It is expected that the application of carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of equipment by at least 30%, greatly reducing the burden on measurement personnel.

[0010] (2) Improved safety: Lightweight equipment reduces risks during operation and improves work safety.

[0011] (3) Enhanced durability: The excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of carbon fiber improve the service life and reliability of equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
