[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] See also Figure 1 、 2 As shown;

[0037] The utility model discloses a surveying ruler, comprising:

[0038] The ruler body 1 is a steel plate ruler. One side of the ruler body 1 is formed with a straight line segment. Of course, it can also have straight line segments on both sides. This embodiment only uses the ruler body 1 as an example of a special-shaped structure. A sliding groove 11 is opened in the middle of the ruler body 1 along the length direction. The drawing circular plate 2 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 11.

[0039] A pressure cap 24 is installed at the top of the drawing circular plate 2. When in use, the pressure cap 24 squeezes the ruler body 1 and the drawing circular plate 2, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the drawing circular plate 2 and the ruler body 1 at any position in the chute 11, thereby positioning the drawing circular plate 2. At least one drawing circular hole 22 is opened on one side of the drawing circular plate 2 for the pen tip to pass through. The pen tip can contact the paper surface below the ruler body 1 through the drawing circular hole 22 to draw a line. The ruler body 1 is provided with scale lines on the side of the chute 11. The radius of the circle is determined by the correspondence between the scale lines and the drawing circular hole 22.

[0040] The center 3 is used to locate the center of a circle. A cone 31 is formed at the lower part of the center 3. The ruler body 1 is provided with a core hole 12 at the end of the slide groove 11. The core hole 12 is transitionally matched with the center 3. The center 3 is installed in the core hole 12. The cone 31 of the center 3 protrudes from the lower surface of the ruler body 1 and contacts the paper surface. When in use, the center 3 is pressed, and the cone 31 of the center 3 directly contacts and positions the paper surface, pushing the ruler body 1, and the ruler body 1 can rotate around the center 3. When the circular drawing plate 2 is positioned by the pressure cap 24, the pen tip passes through the circular drawing hole 22 to draw a circle or arc construction line. The center 3 and the circular drawing plate 2 are accurately and reliably positioned, and thus, without carrying a compass, the surveying ruler can accurately draw a circle or arc, thereby expanding the use function of the surveying ruler.

[0041] In order to avoid damaging the center 3 and the cone 31 of the center 3 and affecting the normal use of the ruler body 1, a secondary core hole 13 is opened on the ruler body 1. The depth of the secondary core hole 13 is greater than the depth of the core hole 12 and is used to install the center 3 and keep the cone 31 of the center 3 away from the paper.

[0042] See also Figure 3-5 As shown, a flange is formed on the edge of the drawing circular plate 2, which is slidably connected to the slide groove 11 of the T-shaped structure through the flange. A connecting column 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the drawing circular plate 2. The connecting column 21 is formed with an external thread for threaded connection with the pressure cap 24, and the connecting column 21 is located at the lower part of the pressure cap 24 and is fitted with a pressure plate 23. The pressure cap 24 contacts the ruler body 1 through the pressure plate 23, thereby clamping the ruler body 1 through the pressure plate 23 and the flange, so that the drawing circular plate 2 can be fixedly connected to the ruler body 1 at any position.

[0043] See also Figure 3As shown, in order to ensure that the circular drawing holes 22 are compatible with pen tips of different diameters, the circular drawing plate 2 is provided with a plurality of circular drawing holes 22 of different diameters at intervals, and a centering line is provided on both sides of the circular drawing holes 22 on the circular drawing plate 2, which corresponds to the scale lines on the ruler body 1;

[0044] See also Figure 8 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, circular through holes 22 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the circular plate 2. In this structure, by symmetrically providing the circular through holes 22 on both sides of the circular plate 2, it can be effectively ensured that the circular through holes 22 are closer to the center of the circle.

[0045] See also Figure 6 、 7 As shown, the center 3 includes a core column, which is circular and magnetic. The core column cooperates with the core hole 12 and is fixedly connected to the ruler body 1 by magnetic force. The top of the core column is fixedly connected to a handle 32 larger than its diameter, and a cone 31 is formed at the bottom of the core column. When in use, the center 3 is adsorbed on the core hole 12 by magnetic force. In order to ensure that the center of the circle is visible when drawing a circle, the center 3 can be made of transparent material, and magnetic blocks can be added locally to ensure that the center 3 can be fixedly connected to the ruler body 1 while ensuring that the center of the circle is visible.

[0046] See also Figure 1 As shown, preferably, a functional area is arranged on the upper surface of the ruler body 1.

[0047] The functional area includes a first straight line area 4, a second straight line area, a protractor area 6, a circle drawing area 7, and a polygon drawing area 8;

[0048] The straight section on the side of the ruler body 1 forms a first straight area 4, and the ruler body 1 forms a second straight area 5 on both sides of the slide 11. The first straight area 4 and the second straight area 5 are both provided with scale lines, and the second straight area 5 can be provided with imperial scale lines and metric scale lines for easy use.

[0049] A protractor area 6 is provided at one end of the ruler body 1, and a calibration hole is provided on the scale line of the protractor area 6. When in use, the ruler body 1 is prevented from blocking too large an area and blocking the lines. The calibration hole effectively solves the problem of the ruler body 1 blocking the lines.

[0050] The ruler body 1 is located on the side of the slide groove 11 and is sequentially formed with a circular drawing area 7 and a polygonal drawing area 8. A plurality of small circles of different diameters are arranged in the circular drawing area 7, and the small circles can be used to directly complete the circle drawing. In the polygonal drawing area 8, a plurality of hexagons of different sizes, as well as polygons such as 45° right-angled triangles and 60° and 30° right-angled triangles are arranged.

[0051] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
