Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The top is fixedly installed with a locking block 503, the top of the mounting plate 502 is fixedly installed with a release button 504, the bottom of the mounting plate 502 is fixedly installed with a spring 505, the top of the limiting column 506 is fixedly installed with a first limiting block 507, the mounting plate 502 is slidably installed at the bottom of the first limiting block 507, and the displacement direction and distance of the mounting plate 502 are limited by the cooperation between the limiting column 506 and the first limiting block 507, and the spring 505 provides an upward elastic force for the mounting plate 502 to ensure that the locking block 503 is in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being Under the action of the locking mechanism 503, it is always fixed inside the fixing buckle 404. A second limit block 508 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting block 501. The second limit block 508 is set on the side of the locking block 503 away from the sliding mechanism 4. The second limit block 508 limits the displacement distance of the fixing buckle 404 to prevent the fixing buckle 404 from being displaced excessively and unable to fix the sliding mechanism 4 to one side of the locking mechanism 5. A rubber layer 403 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sliding rod 402. The rubber layer 403 prevents the sliding rod 402 from directly contacting the outer wall of the first ruler body mechanism 2 to prevent scratches.

[0023] The specific implementation method is as follows: the mounting frame 401 drives the slide bar 402 to move on the outer wall of the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 until the fixing buckle 404 is moved to one side of the locking mechanism 5. When the fixing buckle 404 moves to the top of the locking block 503, it will be locked by the locking block 503, and the sliding sleeve mechanism 4 will be fixed to one side of the locking mechanism 5. During this process, the sliding sleeve mechanism 4 will straighten the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 and limit the rebound of the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3. Under the action of the rebound force of the spring 201, the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 form a solid and non-deformable structure, forming the ruler body. When it is necessary to unlock and store it, one only needs to press the unlocking button 504 to drive the locking block 503 downward through the mounting plate 502 to unlock the sliding sleeve mechanism 4 from one side of the locking mechanism 5. The sliding sleeve mechanism 4 is then moved to the side of the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 closer to the gripping mechanism 1. At this time, the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 will naturally retract to the side of the gripping mechanism 1 under the action of the coil spring 201.

[0024] In the above process, the displacement direction and distance of the mounting plate 502 are limited by the cooperation between the limiting column 506 and the first limiting block 507, and the spring 505 provides an upward elastic force for the mounting plate 502 to ensure that the locking block 503 is always fixed inside the fixing buckle 404 in the absence of external force, and the displacement distance of the fixing buckle 404 is limited by the second limiting block 508 to prevent the fixing buckle 404 from being displaced excessively and unable to fix the sliding mechanism 4 to one side of the locking mechanism 5.

[0025] See also Figure 2-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a geological exploration tool ruler, a sheath 202 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the coil spring 201, a scale line 203 is provided on one side of the sheath 202, and a holding mechanism 1 includes a handle 101, a hanging ring 102 is fixedly installed on one side of the handle 101, and anti-slip belts 103 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the handle 101. The anti-slip belts 103 increase the friction force on the surface of the handle 101, further facilitating the staff to hold the device.

[0026] The specific implementation method is: while protecting the coil spring 201 through the sheath 202, it prevents the user from directly touching the edge of the coil spring 201, thereby preventing the edge of the coil spring 201 from cutting the user, and then displays the scale through the scale line 203. The handle 101 makes it convenient for the staff to hold the device, the hanging ring 102 makes the device easy to store, and the anti-slip belt 103 increases the friction on the surface of the handle 101, further facilitating the staff to hold the device.

[0027] Working principle: When using the geological exploration tool ruler, the winding state is as follows: Figure 4As shown, when it is necessary to unfold, the mounting bracket 401 drives the slide bar 402 to move on the outer wall of the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 until the fixing buckle 404 is moved to one side of the locking mechanism 5. When the fixing buckle 404 moves to the top of the locking block 503, it will be locked by the locking block 503, fixing the sliding sleeve mechanism 4 to one side of the locking mechanism 5. During this process, the sliding sleeve mechanism 4 will straighten the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 and limit the rebound of the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3. By rolling up the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3, the sliding sleeve mechanism 4 will be tightened. Under the action of the rebound force of the spring 201, the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 form a solid and non-deformable structure, forming the ruler body. When it is necessary to unlock and store it, one only needs to press the unlocking button 504 to drive the locking block 503 downward through the mounting plate 502 to unlock the sliding sleeve mechanism 4 from one side of the locking mechanism 5. The sliding sleeve mechanism 4 is then moved to the side of the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 closer to the gripping mechanism 1. At this time, the first ruler body mechanism 2 and the second ruler body mechanism 3 will naturally retract to the side of the gripping mechanism 1 under the action of the coil spring 201.

[0028] During the above process, the cooperation between the limiting column 506 and the first limiting block 507 limits the displacement direction and distance of the mounting plate 502. The spring 505 then provides an upward elastic force to the mounting plate 502, ensuring that the locking block 503 is always fixed inside the fixing buckle 404 in the absence of external force. The second limiting block 508 limits the displacement distance of the fixing buckle 404, preventing the fixing buckle 404 from excessively displacing and failing to fix the sliding sleeve mechanism 4 to one side of the locking mechanism 5.

[0029] The sheath 202 protects the coil spring 201 while preventing the user from directly touching the edge of the coil spring 201, thereby preventing the edge of the coil spring 201 from cutting the user. The scale line 203 displays the scale, and the handle 101 makes it easier for the staff to hold the device. The hanging ring 102 makes the device easy to store, and the anti-slip belt 103 increases the friction on the surface of the handle 101, further facilitating the staff to hold the device.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
