[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0037] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model is a new type of single-person measuring inclinometer, comprising the following components:

[0038] The inclinometer rod 1 has a cavity at its upper part, in which a laser rangefinder 3 is arranged for reading distance data in real time;

[0039] The inclinometer probe 2 is arranged at the top of the inclinometer rod 1, and a channel 4 is opened at the center thereof. The channel 4 is connected to the cavity of the inclinometer rod 1 for the laser beam of the laser rangefinder 3 to pass through;

[0040] A cable 8, connected to the bottom of the inclinometer rod 1, for transmitting measurement data of the laser rangefinder 3;

[0041] The guide wheel assembly 5 is arranged at the upper and lower ends of the inclinometer rod 1, and the guide wheel assembly 5 includes:

[0042] Two rollers 7, used to assist the movement of the inclinometer rod 1;

[0043] A limit member 6, two rollers 7 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the limit member 6, a connecting rod is provided on the inclinometer rod 1, a threaded groove is provided on the limit member 6, a rotary joint 15 is provided on the connecting rod, and the rotary joint 15 is connected to the threaded groove through a threaded structure. A driving motor 16 is provided at one end of the limit member 6, and the roller 7 at this end is installed with the output end of the driving motor 16.

[0044] Working principle of limiter 6:

[0045] Structural composition: The stopper 6 is composed of an inner rod 11 and an outer rod 10. The outer rod 10 is provided with a threaded groove for connecting with other components. One end of the outer rod 10 is provided with a telescopic groove, and the inner rod 11 is sleeved in the telescopic groove and connected to the bottom of the telescopic groove through a spring 14.

[0046] Working principle: When the inclinometer rod 1 moves in the inclinometer tube for exploration, due to the squeezing of the inclinometer tube wall, the outer rod 10 will be displaced relative to the inner rod 11, compressing the spring 14. The elastic force of the spring 14 keeps the inner rod 11 and the outer rod 10 close to the inclinometer tube wall, thereby ensuring the stable movement of the inclinometer in the tube.

[0047] The cooperation principle between telescopic slot and slide slot:

[0048] Structural composition: A sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the telescopic groove, and the inner rod 11 is adapted to the sliding groove through the sliding rod 13.

[0049] Working principle: The cooperation between the slide groove and the slide rod 13 limits the moving direction of the inner rod 11 in the telescopic groove, so that it can only move along a specific direction (i.e. the axial direction of the inclinometer tube), avoiding the deflection or shaking of the inner rod 11 when subjected to force, and further enhancing the stability of the inclinometer.

[0050] Shape selection of the limiter 6:

[0051] Preferred solution: the limiting member 6 can be selected into a rectangular or cylindrical structure.

[0052] Selection basis: The choice of shape depends mainly on the structure and size of the inclinometer casing and the overall design requirements of the inclinometer. A rectangular structure may provide more contact area, while a cylindrical structure may have better sliding performance.

[0053] The inclination and symmetric arrangement of the guide wheel assembly 5:

[0054] Structural features: The guide wheel assembly 5 is tilted on the inclinometer rod 1 and symmetrically distributed at both ends of the inclinometer rod 1.

[0055] Working principle: The tilt setting helps the guide wheel to better adapt to the tilt of the inclinometer tube, reducing friction and resistance. The symmetrical setting ensures the balance of the inclinometer during movement and prevents deviation caused by eccentric force.

[0056] Function and connection method of limit axis 9:

[0057] Structural composition: Limiting shafts 9 are provided on both sides of the inclinometer rod 1, and the limiting shafts 9 are connected to the inclinometer rod 1 through a threaded structure.

[0058] Working principle: The limit shaft 9 is located above and below the guide wheel assembly 5, and plays the role of limiting and supporting. Through threaded connection, the position of the limit shaft 9 can be easily adjusted to adapt to inclinometer pipes of different diameters. At the same time, the limit shaft 9 can also prevent the guide wheel assembly 5 from turning over or falling off when subjected to excessive lateral force.

[0059] Circuit layout and function realization:

[0060] Structural features: The connecting rod, the rotating joint 15 and the outer rod 10 are provided with cavities and openings for arranging circuits.

[0061] Working principle: The circuit is connected to the drive motor 16 and the cable 8 on the measuring rod to realize the functions of automatic measurement and data transmission. When the inclinometer rod 1 moves in the inclinometer tube, the laser rangefinder 3 measures the distance data in real time. When the preset depth is reached, the inclinometer probe 2 automatically measures and records the inclination angle data. Subsequently, the data is transmitted to the mobile phone or other data processing equipment through the circuit for analysis and processing.

[0062] The utility model describes a novel single-person measuring inclinometer, the working principle of which is mainly based on the coordinated work of the following components: an inclinometer rod 1, a laser rangefinder 3, an inclinometer probe 2, a cable 8 and a guide wheel assembly 5.

[0063] Inclinometer rod 1 and laser rangefinder 3:

[0064] The inclinometer rod 1 is a core structure, and a cavity is opened on the upper part thereof for installing a laser rangefinder 3. The laser rangefinder 3 provides key information for subsequent calculation of the inclination angle by measuring distance data in real time.

[0065] The inclinometer probe 2 is arranged on the top of the inclinometer rod 1, and the channel 4 at the center thereof is connected with the cavity, ensuring that the laser beam of the laser rangefinder 3 can be smoothly emitted and the reflected light can be received, thereby realizing accurate distance measurement.

[0066] Data transmission with cable 8:

[0067] The cable 8 is connected to the bottom of the inclinometer (or may be connected to other suitable positions according to the design), and is responsible for transmitting the measurement data of the laser rangefinder 3 to the external data processing equipment. This wired transmission method ensures the stability and reliability of the data and avoids the interference and signal attenuation problems that may exist in wireless transmission.

[0068] Guide wheel assembly 5 and moving mechanism:

[0069] The guide wheel assembly 5 is the key to the stable movement of the inclinometer rod 1 in the inclinometer pipe used for exploration. It is arranged at the upper and lower ends of the inclinometer rod 1, and each assembly includes two rollers 7 and a stopper 6.

[0070] When the roller 7 moves in the inclinometer tube, it contacts and rolls with the tube wall, which reduces the friction resistance between the inclinometer and the tube wall and improves the moving efficiency. At the same time, the roller 7 also ensures the directional stability of the inclinometer during the moving process.

[0071] The stopper 6 is used to mount the roller 7, and is connected to the connecting rod and the rotary joint 15 on the inclinometer rod 1 through the threaded groove thereon. This connection method is not only stable and reliable, but also allows fine adjustment as needed.

[0072] A driving motor 16 is provided at one end of the stopper 6, and the motor drives the roller 7 at the corresponding end to rotate through its output end. When the driving motor 16 is started, it drives the roller 7 to rotate, thereby driving the entire inclinometer to move in a preset direction in the inclinometer tube. This active driving method makes the movement of the inclinometer more flexible and controllable.

[0073] Overall working principle:

[0074] Before the measurement begins, the inclinometer is placed in the inclinometer tube, and it is ensured that the cable 8 is well connected to the external data processing equipment.

[0075] The driving motor 16 is started, and the roller 7 is driven to rotate through its output end, so that the inclinometer moves in the inclinometer tube along a preset direction. During the movement, the laser rangefinder 3 reads the distance data in real time and transmits it to an external data processing device through the cable 8.

[0076] The data processing device receives and processes the measurement data of the laser rangefinder 3, and calculates parameters such as the tilt angle according to a preset algorithm.

[0077] Repeat the above steps until the measurement of the entire inclinometer casing for exploration is completed.

[0078] In summary, the new single-person inclinometer achieves rapid and accurate measurement of parameters such as the inclination angle in the inclinometer tube through real-time measurement of the laser rangefinder 3, stable movement of the guide wheel assembly 5, and precise calculation of the data processing equipment.

[0079] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
