Measuring the diameter of the drainage pipeline is one of the important operations. In the past, measuring the diameter of the pipeline often required manual work down the well.

[0003] Current underground pipeline measuring tools can measure the inner diameter of pipelines without workers going down the well. However, existing underground pipeline measuring devices mostly use measuring rulers, which have a simple structure. Since the inner wall of the drainage pipeline is uneven due to corrosion or dirt deposition, it is difficult to ensure that the position measured by the measuring ruler is the diameter of the pipeline during use, which is easy to cause measurement errors, and it is impossible to quickly and accurately locate the diameter baseline of the pipeline, and it is impossible to measure the outer diameter of the pipeline at the same time, and the operability is poor. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an underground pipeline inner and outer diameter measuring tool, which can quickly locate the diameter of the pipeline and measure the inner and outer diameters of the pipeline at the same time, which is easy to operate.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0006] A tool for measuring the inner and outer diameters of underground pipelines is provided, comprising a fixed plate, a group of fixed columns are fixed to one side of the fixed plate, an adjusting cylinder that can be freely raised and lowered is installed on the fixed plate, an upper stop ruler is fixed to the bottom of the adjusting cylinder, and a rack plate is slidably fitted in the adjusting cylinder, the bottom end of the rack plate passes through the adjusting cylinder and is fixed with a lower stop ruler, scale lines are provided on the rack plate, a through groove is provided on one side of the adjusting cylinder, and an outer frame is fixed at a position on one side of the adjusting cylinder corresponding to the through groove, a transmission box is installed in the outer frame, a first gear is rotatably connected in the transmission box, the first gear passes through the through groove and is meshed with the rack plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a group of first guide columns are fixed to one side of the upper surface of the fixed plate, a threaded screw is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate and located between the two first guide columns, a lifting plate is fixed to the bottom end of the adjusting cylinder, the first guide column penetrates the lifting plate and slides with the lifting plate, the threaded screw penetrates the lifting plate and is threadedly connected with the lifting plate, a top plate is fixed to the top of the first guide column, and the top of the threaded screw penetrates the top plate and is fixed with a handwheel.

[0008] Furthermore, the axes of the upper and lower stoppers are located on the same vertical line, and the side surfaces of the upper and lower stoppers are in contact with each other.

[0009] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the top of the adjusting cylinder, and an end plate is fixed at the top of the rack plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the two fixing columns are symmetrically arranged relative to the adjusting cylinder, the adjusting cylinder is vertically arranged on the fixing plate, and the lower stop ruler and the two fixing columns are both cylindrical structures.

[0011] Furthermore, movable plates are fixed on the upper and lower surfaces of the transmission box, two groups of second guide columns are fixed between the outer frame and the adjustment cylinder, the movable plate is slidably sleeved on the outside of the second guide columns, and two groups of tension springs are fixed between the movable plate and the adjustment cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the tension spring is wrapped around the outside of the second guide column, a pull rod is fixed to one side of the transmission box, and one end of the pull rod slides through the outer frame and is fixed with a pull plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating shaft of the first gear passes through the transmission box and is fixed with the second gear. One side of the transmission box is rotatably connected to the third gear, the third gear is meshed with the second gear, and one side of the third gear is fixedly mounted with a knob.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. The underground pipeline inner and outer diameter measuring tool of the utility model is used to quickly clamp and fix the fixing plate at the end of the pipeline to be measured through the upper stop ruler and two fixing columns. The two fixing columns are in contact with the inner wall line of the pipeline, and the upper stop ruler is in contact with the outer wall line of the pipeline. The three contact lines form an isosceles triangle. Therefore, the rack plate is parallel to one diameter of the pipeline at this time. The operation is simple and the diameter of the pipeline can be quickly located.

[0016] 2. The underground pipeline inner and outer diameter measuring tool of the utility model example, after the fixing plate is fixed on the pipeline, slide the rack plate downward to make the lower stop ruler contact with the bottom of the pipeline.

When the outer diameter of the pipeline needs to be measured, it is only necessary to make the lower stop ruler contact with the top of the pipeline, and the thickness value of the pipeline can be obtained by reading the extension amount of the lower stop ruler through the scale line. The outer diameter value of the pipeline can be obtained by adding the pipeline thickness value and the inner diameter value, and the inner and outer diameters of the pipeline can be measured at the same time.

[0017] 3. The underground pipeline inner and outer diameter measuring tool of the utility model example can drive the lifting plate to vertically lift and lower along the first guide column through the rotation of the threaded screw, thereby realizing the movement of the adjusting cylinder in the vertical direction, so that the fixed column and the upper stop can quickly and stably clamp the fixed pipeline, with a simple structure and easy operation.

[0018] 4. The underground pipeline inner and outer diameter measuring tool of the utility model example can adjust the connection state of the first gear and the rack plate inside the transmission box through the setting of the tension spring and the second guide column. When the transmission box is moved outward, the tension spring is stretched. At this time, the meshing relationship between the first gear and the rack plate is disconnected. The operator can quickly move the rack plate up and down to a suitable position. When the first gear and the rack plate are meshed and connected, the rack plate is locked by the first gear. At the same time, the moving distance of the rack plate in the vertical direction can also be accurately adjusted by rotating the first gear. It is more flexible to use and convenient for the measurement operation of the measurer.

[0019] 5. The underground pipeline inner and outer diameter measuring tool of the utility model example, through the setting of the second gear and the third gear, makes the first gear not to rotate passively due to the action of the rack plate, enhances the mechanical self-locking ability of the first gear, enables the first gear to lock the rack plate, prevents the rack plate from slipping in the vertical direction, and has a stable structure.

The arrangement of the tension spring 19 and the second guide column 17 facilitates the adjustment of the connection state between the first gear 21 inside the transmission box 20 and the rack plate 6. By pulling the pull rod 25 outward to drive the transmission box 20 to move, the tension spring 19 is stretched, and the meshing relationship between the first gear 21 and the rack plate 6 is disconnected.
