Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surveying ruler technology, specifically a surveying ruler for geological surveying. Background Technology

[0002] Geological surveying is a general term for all surveying work involved in geological investigations and mineral exploration, as well as the compilation of resulting maps. During geological surveying, measuring tapes are used to measure the ground. Currently, the most widely used measuring tapes are made primarily of steel. Due to their sturdiness, durability, and resistance to deformation, steel measuring tapes have become the preferred tool in surveying work.

[0003] Existing surveying tape measures, after completing a measurement, utilize a built-in torsion spring to achieve an automatic rewinding mechanism. This automatic rewinding process is highly efficient, with the surveying steel tape rapidly rewinding back into the tape measure housing within a very short time. However, precisely because of this extremely rapid automatic rewinding speed, if the fast-moving surveying steel tape accidentally comes into contact with the user's palm during the rewinding process, the high-speed moving edge of the tape could potentially cause varying degrees of scratches or crush injuries to the user's palm, thus posing a potential threat to the user's personal safety. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, four first sleeve rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper fixed plate, the first sleeve rods are slidably sleeved with the lower moving plate, and the bottom end of the first sleeve rods is also fixed with a limit block.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic element includes a sliding plate fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod away from the rotating ring, the sliding plate being slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed shell, and a second sleeve rod slidably sleeved with the sliding plate being fixed on the inner side of the fixed shell, and a return spring being provided on the outer side of the second sleeve rod between the sliding plate and the inner wall of the fixed shell.

This can clean the dirt adsorbed on the measuring tape, preventing the dirt from contaminating the measuring tape and making it more convenient to wind up the measuring tape.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 The figure shows a geological surveying ruler, including a housing 1, inside which a surveying ruler 2 is elastically wound by a coil spring; it also includes: a mounting frame 3 fixed to the outside of the housing 1, a friction deceleration unit 4 for slowing down the rewinding speed of the surveying ruler 22 mounted on the top of the mounting frame 3, and rotary centrifugal units 5 mounted on both sides of the bottom of the friction deceleration unit 4; a cleaning roller 6 rotatably mounted on the front top of the mounting frame 3 for wiping and cleaning the surface of the surveying ruler 22, with lifting seats 7 rotatably connected to both sides of the cleaning roller 6, a separation component 8 mounted on the lifting seats 7, and drive units 9 mounted on both sides of the cleaning roller 6.

[0021] In this solution, after the measuring tape 2 is used up, it can automatically retract through the coil spring inside the housing 1. At this time, the measuring tape 2 and the cleaning roller 6 generate relative motion. On the one hand, the cleaning roller 6 is driven to rotate. The cleaning roller 6 drives the rotary centrifugal unit 5 through the drive unit 9. The rotary centrifugal unit 5 then drives the friction reduction unit 4. Finally, the friction reduction unit 4 will press and engage the measuring tape 2, thereby increasing the resistance of the measuring tape 2 during the winding process. On the other hand, the relative frictional motion between the surface of the cleaning roller 6 and the measuring tape 2 can clean the dirt adsorbed on the measuring tape 2.

[0022] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The friction deceleration unit 4 includes an upper fixed plate 10, which is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 3. A lower moving plate 11 is provided below the upper fixed plate 10. The measuring tape 2 is located between the upper fixed plate 10 and the lower moving plate 11. Two trapezoidal transmission blocks 12 are symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the lower moving plate 11. A pulley 13 is slidably connected to the bottom inclined surface of the trapezoidal transmission block 12. An extension rod 14 is fixed at the bottom of the pulley 13. The moving end of the rotary centrifugal unit 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extension rod 14.

[0023] Among them, see Figure 4 The bottom of the upper fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected with four first sleeve rods 31. The first sleeve rods 31 are slidably sleeved with the lower moving plate 11. The bottom end of the first sleeve rods 31 is also fixed with a limit block 32, so that the lower moving plate 11 can slide smoothly up and down on the first sleeve rods 31. The function of the limit block 32 is to limit the sliding range of the lower moving plate 11 and prevent it from moving excessively, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the entire device during operation.

[0024] The principle of slowing down the retraction process of the measuring tape 2 is as follows: During the retraction process of the measuring tape 2, the rotary centrifugal unit 5 will work in conjunction with it. The rotary centrifugal unit 5 will drive the extension rod 14 to move outward, thereby driving the pulley 13 at the top of the extension rod 14 to move. Since the pulley 13 and the trapezoidal transmission block 12 are slidably connected, the trapezoidal transmission block 12 will move vertically upward, thereby driving the lower moving plate 11 to move closer to the upper fixed plate 10, pressing the measuring tape 2 between the lower moving plate 11 and the upper fixed plate 10, so that the upper and lower sides of the measuring tape 2 can fit against the upper fixed plate 10 and the lower moving plate 11 respectively. In this way, when the measuring tape 2 retracts, it can generate friction and slow down the movement with the upper fixed plate 10 and the lower moving plate 11, which plays a "slow braking" effect on the retraction movement of the measuring tape 2, thereby reducing the retraction rate of the measuring tape 2.

[0025] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5The rotary centrifugal unit 5 includes a U-shaped seat 15 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 3. The U-shaped seat 15 is rotatably connected to a horizontal shaft 16 via bearings. Both ends of the horizontal shaft 16 are fixedly sleeved with connecting discs 17. Four fixed shells 18 are arranged in an array on the outer side of the connecting discs 17. An elastic element 19 is installed on one side of the fixed shell 18. A pulling cylinder 20 is sleeved on the outer side of the horizontal shaft 16. The bottom end of the extension rod 14 is fixed to the outer wall of the pulling cylinder 20. A rotating ring 21 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the pulling cylinder 20 via bearings. Four movable rods 22 are evenly hinged to the outer side of the rotating ring 21. The movable end of the elastic element 19 is rotatably connected to the end of the movable rod 22 away from the rotating ring 21. The output end of the drive unit 9 is connected to the horizontal shaft 16 for transmission. Among them, see Figure 6 The elastic element 19 includes a sliding plate 33 fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 22 away from the rotating ring 21. The sliding plate 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed shell 18. A second sleeve rod 34 is also fixedly fixed to the inner side of the fixed shell 18 and slidably sleeved with the sliding plate 33. A return spring 35 is provided on the outer side of the second sleeve rod 34 and between the sliding plate 33 and the inner wall of the fixed shell 18.

[0026] The principle of the rotary centrifugal unit 5 driving the extension rod 14 to move: When the measuring tape 2 retracts, it will drive the horizontal shaft 16 to rotate through the drive unit 9. The horizontal shaft 16 drives the four fixed shells 18 to rotate. Since the sliding plate 33 and the fixed shells 18 are slidably connected, when the horizontal shaft 16 rotates, it will generate centrifugal force on the sliding plate 33 under the action of the spring force of the return spring 35. This causes the sliding plate 33 in the fixed shell 18 to move away from the connecting plate 17, thereby driving the pulling cylinder 20 to move closer to the connecting plate 17, and finally driving the extension rod 14 to move together.

[0027] It should be noted that: Please refer to Figure 10 Two second sliders 42 are symmetrically fixed on the side of the pulling cylinder 20 away from the fixed shell 18. A horizontal plate 44 is fixed on the outer side of the U-shaped seat 15. A second sliding groove 43 adapted to the second sliders 42 is opened on the horizontal plate 44. The two second sliders 42 are respectively embedded in the corresponding second sliding grooves 43, so that the pulling cylinder 20 can slide stably in a straight line along the horizontal plate 44 on the outer side of the U-shaped seat 15. This not only ensures the smoothness of the movement of the pulling cylinder 20, but also effectively limits the movement range of the pulling cylinder 20 through the cooperation of the second sliders 42 and the second sliding grooves 43, preventing it from detaching from the U-shaped seat 15 due to excessive movement, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the entire rotary centrifugal unit 5.

[0028] It should also be noted that: Please refer to Figure 11In order to protect the friction reduction unit 4, the rotary centrifugal unit 5 and the drive unit 9, a protective cover is fixed on one side of the housing 1. This facilitates the lubrication and maintenance of the gears and prevents external particles from causing rust and interference to the gears.

[0029] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 This embodiment further explains the first embodiment, the difference being that the driving method of the horizontal axis 16 is optimized.

[0030] Specifically, the drive unit 9 includes a first gear 23 fixedly connected to the end of the cleaning roller 6. A second gear 24 meshes with the bottom of the first gear 23. A first drive shaft 25 is fixed in the center hole of the second gear 24. The first drive shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 3 through a bearing seat. A drive pulley 26 is also fixedly sleeved on the outside of the first drive shaft 25. The drive pulley 26 is connected to a driven pulley 27 through a synchronous belt. A second drive shaft 28 is fixed in the center hole of the driven pulley 27. The second drive shaft 28 is also rotatably connected to the mounting frame 3 through a bearing seat. A third gear 29 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the second drive shaft 28. A fourth gear 30 meshes with one side of the third gear 29. The fourth gear 30 is fixedly sleeved with the horizontal shaft 16. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the diameter of the third gear 29 is larger than that of the fourth gear 30. This will increase the rotation speed of the horizontal shaft 16 driven by the fourth gear 30, and the sliding plate 33 will slide a farther distance within the fixed housing 18. This will result in greater upward pressure exerted by the lower moving plate 11 on the measuring tape 2, and also increase the frictional resistance. The mounting bracket 3 has a through groove 41, and the fourth gear 30 is located within the through groove 41, thereby enabling the fourth gear 30 to rotate smoothly.

[0031] The principle of rotating the horizontal axis 16: When the measuring tape 2 retracts, it drives the cleaning roller 6 to rotate. The cleaning roller 6 drives the first gear 23 to rotate, the first gear 23 drives the second gear 24 to rotate, the second gear 24 drives the first transmission shaft 25 to rotate, and then the drive pulley 26 fixed to the first transmission shaft 25 rotates. The drive pulley 26 drives the driven pulley 27 to rotate through the synchronous belt. The driven pulley 27 drives the second transmission shaft 28 to rotate, the second transmission shaft 28 drives the third gear 29 fixed to it to rotate, the third gear 29 drives the fourth gear 30 to rotate, and finally the fourth gear 30 drives the horizontal axis 16 to rotate.

[0032] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 This embodiment further illustrates other embodiments, with the difference being the optimization of the usage state of the friction deceleration unit 4.

[0033] Specifically, the separation component 8 includes a stud 36 that is threadedly connected to the lifting seat 7. A limiting shaft 37 is fixed at the bottom of the stud 36. The limiting shaft 37 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame 3 through a bearing seat. A handle 38 is fixed at the top of the stud 36.

[0034] Specifically, before the measuring tape 2 is pulled out for measurement, the cleaning roller 6 moves upward a certain distance through the cooperation of the stud 36 and the lifting seat 7, causing the first gear 23 and the second gear 24 at one end of the cleaning roller 6 to disengage. In this way, the drive unit 9 and the cleaning roller 6 will cut off the transmission, and the friction deceleration unit 4 will not decelerate, ensuring that the measuring tape 2 is pulled out more quickly and conveniently, that is, no friction deceleration is applied when the measuring tape 2 is pulled out. When the measuring tape 2 is retrieved, the handle 38 is manually turned to drive the stud 36 to rotate. The stud 36 drives the lifting seat 7 to move down, which in turn drives the cleaning roller 6 to move down, allowing the second gear 24 and the first gear 23 to engage.

[0035] Meanwhile, it is worth noting that a first slider 39 is fixed on one side of the lifting seat 7, and a first groove 40 adapted to the slider is opened on the outer side of the mounting bracket 3. When the stud 36 rotates and drives the lifting seat 7 to move up and down, the sliding of the first slider 39 in the first groove 40 can play a stable guiding role, preventing the lifting seat 7 from deviating during the movement, ensuring that the cleaning roller 6 can accurately move up and down, thereby realizing the meshing and disengaging operation of the first gear 23 and the second gear 24, and ensuring that the different working states of the measuring tape 2 during extraction and retrieval can be accurately switched.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0037] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
