Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction testing technology, specifically a testing device for the verticality and cross-sectional dimensions of main structural walls and columns. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of the main structure of a building project, the verticality of the cast-in-place concrete wall and column formwork installation and the cross-sectional dimensions of the components are key quality control points to ensure the accuracy of the structural position and that the dimensions meet design requirements. Currently, on-site inspection of such projects typically employs a combination of two tools: a plumb bob to check verticality and a measuring tape to measure cross-sectional dimensions.
[0003] Existing testing methods have several shortcomings: First, the upper end of the plumb bob needs to be temporarily fixed during use. Insufficient or inadequate fixing can cause the plumb line to swing continuously, affecting the stability and accuracy of the readings, thus making it difficult to guarantee the quality of the template installation. Second, this method requires testing personnel to carry both a plumb bob and a measuring tape, which is inconvenient for passing up and down when working at heights, and both the plumb bob and measuring tape are easily damaged. More importantly, traditional plumb bob testing methods typically require two operators working together (one fixing and observing from above, and the other observing or measuring from below), which not only results in high labor costs but also poses safety risks associated with working at heights, and also has low testing efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a specialized tool that is integrated, easy to operate, and can be used by a single person safely and efficiently to detect the verticality and cross-sectional dimensions of walls and columns. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a device for detecting the verticality and cross-sectional dimensions of the main structure wall columns, enabling a single person to complete the detection work quickly, accurately and safely.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: A device for detecting the verticality and cross-sectional dimensions of a main structural wall column includes a graduated column. A first graduated ruler is horizontally mounted on the upper part of the column, with one end of the first graduated ruler hinged to the top of the column. The first graduated ruler can rotate relative to the column in both horizontal and vertical directions. A sliding bracket is provided on the first graduated ruler, which can slide and lock along its length direction, and a plumb bob is hung on the sliding bracket. A second graduated ruler is horizontally mounted on the lower part of the column, with one end of the second graduated ruler connected to the column via a folding bracket, allowing the second graduated ruler to rotate relative to the column in both horizontal and vertical directions. The second graduated ruler consists of a fixed section and a telescopic section that are nested together, and the telescopic section can extend or retract along the length direction of the fixed section and be locked.
[0007] Furthermore, a first support folding frame is provided between the first scale and the column. When the first scale is rotated to a horizontal state, the first support folding frame can be opened to support the first scale and keep it horizontal; thus enhancing its stability and support capacity in a horizontal state and making the measurement reference more stable.
[0008] Furthermore, a second support folding frame is provided between the second scale and the column. When the second scale is rotated to a horizontal position, the second support folding frame can be opened to support the second scale and keep it horizontal.
[0009] Furthermore, a sliding connection structure is provided between the second scale and the column. The sliding connection structure allows the second scale to slide along the height direction of the column and lock its position with fasteners. This allows the height position of the second scale to be adaptively adjusted according to the actual size of the component to be measured, expanding the applicability of the device to different height size measurement needs.
[0010] Furthermore, the sliding bracket is provided with a locking component, which can lock the sliding bracket to any scale position on the first scale.
[0011] Furthermore, the fixed section of the second scale is provided with a locking element, which can lock the telescopic section at any extension length position relative to the fixed section.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the column is provided with a scale section for direct measurement of cross-sectional dimensions, increasing the versatility of the device's functions.
[0013] Furthermore, when the first and second scales are in a horizontal state, they are located on the same side away from the scale surface of the column and are parallel to each other.
[0014] The present invention, which adopts the above technical solution, has the following prominent features compared with the prior art: This invention integrates the measurement functions of perpendicularity and cross-sectional dimensions into a single unit through an integrated design, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of traditional testing methods. The device can be operated by a single person without relying on others, thus helping to reduce labor costs and operational safety risks. Its design reduces the number of tool transfer steps on-site, making the testing process more convenient. Through a structured component setup, the device can provide a relatively stable measurement benchmark, which helps to shorten stabilization waiting time, improve reading efficiency and the reliability of test results, and achieve efficient operation.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. The purpose of this illustration is solely to provide a better understanding of the invention. Therefore, the examples given do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a device for detecting the verticality and cross-sectional dimensions of a main structural wall column includes a graduated column. A first graduated ruler is horizontally mounted on the upper part of the column, with one end of the first graduated ruler hinged to the top of the column. The first graduated ruler can rotate relative to the column in both horizontal and vertical directions. A sliding bracket is provided on the first graduated ruler, which can slide and lock along its length direction, and a plumb bob is hung on the sliding bracket. A second graduated ruler is horizontally mounted on the lower part of the column, with one end of the second graduated ruler connected to the column via a folding bracket, allowing the second graduated ruler to rotate relative to the column in both horizontal and vertical directions. The second graduated ruler consists of a fixed section and a telescopic section that are nested together, and the telescopic section can extend or retract along the length direction of the fixed section and be locked.
[0018] A first support folding frame is provided between the first scale and the column. When the first scale is rotated to a horizontal state, the first support folding frame can be opened to support the first scale and keep it horizontal; thus enhancing its stability and support capacity in a horizontal state and making the measurement reference more stable.
[0019] A second support folding frame is provided between the second scale and the column. When the second scale is rotated to a horizontal position, the second support folding frame can be opened to support the second scale and keep it horizontal.
[0020] The second scale is also provided with a sliding connection structure between itself and the column. The sliding connection structure allows the second scale to slide along the height direction of the column and lock its position with fasteners. This allows the height position of the second scale to be adaptively adjusted according to the actual size of the component to be measured, thus expanding the applicability of the device to different height size measurement needs.
[0021] The sliding bracket is equipped with a locking component, which can lock the sliding bracket to any scale position on the first scale.
[0022] The fixed section of the second scale is provided with a locking element, which can lock the telescopic section at any extension length position relative to the fixed section.
[0023] The bottom of the column is equipped with a graduated section for direct measurement of cross-sectional dimensions, increasing the versatility of the device's functions.
[0024] When the first and second scales are in a horizontal position, they are located on the same side away from the scale surface of the column and are parallel to each other.
[0025] During operation, the graduated column 1 is first placed against the surface of the template or component of the wall column to be measured. At this time, the column 1 itself can serve as a reference ruler, and the cross-sectional dimensions can be directly measured using the graduated section at its bottom. This initially solves the problem of numerous tools and inconvenient transfer caused by the traditional method of using a separate measuring tape. Next, the first graduated ruler 2, which is hinged to the top of the column, is rotated from its vertical storage state to its horizontal working state. It is then stabilized by opening the first support folding frame 4 between it and the column, thus forming a solid upper horizontal beam. This effectively overcomes the defects of traditional plumb bobs, which require temporary fixation at the top and are prone to shaking, leading to unstable readings. Then, the operator can slide the sliding bracket 5, on which the plumb bob 7 is hung, along the first graduated ruler 2 to the required graduation position according to the horizontal position of the point to be measured, and lock it with its locking mechanism. After the plumb bob 7 hangs freely, the plumb line can quickly stabilize due to the stable and accurate horizontal reference provided by the first scale 2, without the need for a long waiting time, which significantly improves the reading efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the second scale 3, which is connected to the lower part of the column through the folding bracket, is also rotated to a horizontal state and supported and fixed by the second support folding frame 6. At this time, the verticality can be quickly determined by reading the scale value on the second scale 3. The whole process can be operated by a single person without the need for others to cooperate. This not only reduces labor costs and the safety risks of working at height, but also solves the problems of tool separation, low efficiency, poor stability and the need for multiple people to cooperate in traditional methods by highly integrating the stable suspension reference required for verticality detection with the direct measurement function of cross-sectional dimensions. This achieves fast, accurate and safe single-person detection operation.
[0026] This invention integrates the measurement functions of perpendicularity and cross-sectional dimensions into a single unit through an integrated design, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of traditional testing methods. The device can be operated by a single person without relying on others, thus helping to reduce labor costs and operational safety risks. Its design reduces the number of tool transfer steps on-site, making the testing process more convenient. Through a structured component setup, the device can provide a relatively stable measurement benchmark, which helps to shorten stabilization waiting time, improve reading efficiency and the reliability of test results, and achieve efficient operation.
