[0033] Example:
[0034] This embodiment provides a geological compass, which is used to solve the technical problem that the upper cover of the geological compass in the prior art is easy to loosen. The geological compass includes a first part 1, a second part 2 and a connecting shaft 3, wherein:
[0035] The connecting shaft 3 is used to connect the first part 1 and the second part 2 . The first part 1 is configured to be able to flip relative to the second part 2 along the axis of the connecting shaft 3 , that is, the first part 1 and the second part 2 are hinged through the connecting shaft 3 .
[0036] The connecting shaft 3 includes a shaft body 31, a first locking member and a second locking member 33. The shaft body 31 has an end and a main body 312. The end is connected to the main body 312. The first locking member has a first internal thread, and the second locking member has a first external thread. The first internal thread and the first external thread have opposite rotation directions. The first internal thread and the first external thread are both matched with the end thread. The second locking member 33 is configured to be able to tighten the first locking member when the second locking member 33 is screwed into the main body 312. In this way, the shaft body 31, the first locking member and the second locking member 33 connected by threaded matching are more convenient for disassembly and assembly of the geological compass provided by the embodiment of the utility model, and thus convenient for replacement of parts.
[0037] Through the above structure, when the geological compass provided by the utility model is used, when the first part 1 is flipped relative to the second part 2, friction occurs between the first part 1 and the first locking member, thereby driving the first locking member to rotate in a direction away from the main body 312. When the first locking member rotates, the second locking member is driven to rotate in the same direction, and the first internal thread on the first locking member and the first external thread on the second locking member 33 have opposite rotation directions, so that the second locking member 33 moves in a direction close to the main body 312, thereby achieving the purpose of tightening the first locking member. Therefore, through the arrangement of the first locking member and the second locking member 33, the upper cover of the geological compass provided by the utility model is not easy to loosen, and thus it is not easy to be damaged and has a longer service life.
[0038] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: the end is a circular ring 311, which is installed at one end of the main body 312. It should be noted that the circular ring 311 can be connected to the main body 312 by welding, bonding or hot melting. Of course, it can also be integrally formed. The inner wall of the circular ring 311 is provided with a second internal thread that is compatible with the first external thread, and the outer wall of the circular ring 311 is provided with a second external thread that is compatible with the first internal thread. When in use, the first locking member is screwed onto the outside of the circular ring 311, and the second locking member 33 is screwed into the inside of the circular ring 311 and abuts against the end of the first locking member away from the shaft body 31.
[0039] Optionally, there are two rings 311, which are respectively installed at both ends of the main body 312, and the two rings 311 are coaxially arranged with the main body 312. Each ring 311 is provided with a first locking member and a second locking member 33. In this way, through the arrangement of two rings 311, two first locking members and two second locking members 33, when the geological compass provided by the embodiment of the utility model needs to be disassembled, it can be disassembled from either end of the connecting shaft 3 to replace or repair damaged parts.
[0040] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: the second locking member 33 includes a round rod 331 and an abutment plate 332, wherein:
[0041] The round rod 331 is a solid cylinder, and the first external thread is disposed on the outer side wall of the round rod 331 .
[0042] The abutment plate 332 is installed at either end of the round rod 331, and the end of the abutment plate 332 close to the round rod 331 is pressed against the first locking member. Optionally, the length of the round rod 331 is less than or equal to the length of the ring 311. In this way, when the round rod 331 is screwed into the inside of the ring 311, the abutment plate 332 is pressed against the first locking member to prevent the first locking member from being screwed out of the ring 311.
[0043] Optionally, a groove 3321 is formed at one end of the abutment plate 332 away from the round rod 331. Thus, the second locking member 33 can be easily unscrewed from the ring 311 by the provision of the groove 3321, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the compass provided by the embodiment of the utility model.
[0044] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: the vertical distance from the edge of the abutment plate 332 to the axis of the connecting shaft 3 is equal to the vertical distance from the edge of the first locking member to the axis of the connecting shaft 3, so that it is easier for the abutment plate 332 to press the first locking member tightly.
[0045] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: Optionally, the first locking member is a rotating body having a through hole along a first direction, and the first internal thread is arranged on the inner wall of the through hole. Optionally, the first locking member can be a hexagonal nut 32, which saves manufacturing costs and is replaceable.
[0046] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: it also includes a gasket 4 installed between the hexagonal nut 32 and the abutment plate 332. The gasket 4 is provided to enhance the tightness and stability between the hexagonal nut 32 and the abutment plate 332.
[0047] Optionally, the gasket 4 is a spring gasket, which is light and low in cost. Of course, it can also be a plastic gasket.
[0048] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: the first part 1 or the second part 2 is fixedly connected to the main body 312 .
[0049] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only the specific implementation method of the utility model and is not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
