Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of measuring tools, in particular to a portable multi-purpose subdivided scale protractor. Background Art
[0002] In general machining processes such as on-site surveying and mapping, fine binding production, sheet metal cutting and folding, and stretch forming, we often encounter issues with the internal and external angles of engineering structures and product components. Some existing angle rulers are too complicated and inconvenient to operate, while others, while simple to use, cannot accurately read values below 1°. Furthermore, due to wide arms and large hinges, measuring smaller internal and external angles is difficult. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above technical deficiencies, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel portable multi-purpose subdivided scale protractor.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] The basic structure is assembled from a right-angled triangle main ruler, two right-angled side rulers, a precision screw tail hinge shaft, a gasket and a hand-screwed blind hole nut.
[0006] The main scale structure is a quasi-right triangle. The two right-angled sides are both main scale arms. The hypotenuse is replaced by a 135° broken line, providing 45°, 135°, and 90° external angles, which can be used directly as a fixed-angle template. There is a precision hinge shaft hole in the right-angle area of the main scale for fixing the precision screw tail hinge shaft. There are easily recognizable fan-shaped distribution scales on the surface of the main scale, with each small grid being 1°. 0°--90° and 90°--180° are arranged in two corresponding layers. Two small grids are added at each end of the fan as difference reference lines. There are parallel step notches on the upper side of the vertical main scale arm for small angle measurement;
[0007] The outer contours of the main scale and auxiliary scale can be used as templates for fixed angles of 30°, 45°, 90°, and 135°. The upper side of the vertical main scale arm is provided with parallel step notches for small angle measurement. The end of the auxiliary scale pointer arm is a fan-shaped structure, which can reduce visual errors in reading the scale.
[0008] The secondary ruler has two right-angled sides. The vertical side is the secondary ruler arm, with a 30° external angle at the top, which can also be used as a fixed-angle template. The horizontal side is the pointer arm, with a width of ≤8mm. The end is a fan-shaped structure with the same radius as the main ruler fan, which can reduce visual errors in reading the ruler. The pointer 0 line is on the center line of the pointer arm. There are three small grids above and below the pointer 0 line, each small grid ≤5 / 6° (50'). The scale markings use differential values, which are 10', 20', and 30' lines respectively. There is a precision hinge shaft hole in the right-angle area of the secondary ruler, which is installed with the precision screw tail hinge shaft;
[0009] The function of the portable multi-purpose subdivided scale protractor described in the utility model is focused on the very narrow pointer arm, which is effectively set into differential group scale lines, combined with the attached Figure 2 、 3 , 4 detailed reflection, realize the subdivision of "degree" and read "score" with evidence.
[0010] Advantages of this utility model:
[0011] This portable, multi-purpose, finely graduated protractor can be used to measure and map various interior angles from 90° to 180° with a reading accuracy of 10°, and various exterior angles from 0° to 90° with a reading accuracy of 10°. Although its pointer arm is narrow, it effectively forms differential markings. Since the entire ruler has no redundant components, the error transmission chain is shortened. This solves the problem of precision machining and further improves measurement accuracy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Example
[0028] The basic structure is assembled from a right-angled triangle main ruler, two right-angled side rulers, a precision screw tail hinge shaft, a gasket and a hand-screwed blind hole nut.
[0029] The main scale structure is a right triangle, with two right-angled sides being the main scale arms, and the hypotenuse being 135°
[0030] Instead of a broken line, it provides 45°, 135°, and 90° external angles and can be used directly as a fixed angle template. There is a precision hinge shaft hole in the right-angle area of the main scale for fixing the precision screw tail hinge shaft. The main scale surface has easily recognizable fan-shaped distribution scales, with each small grid being 1°. 0°--90° and 90°--180° are arranged in two corresponding layers. Two small grids are added at each end of the fan as difference reference lines. A parallel step notch is opened on the upper side of the vertical main scale arm for small angle measurement;
[0031] The outer contours of the main scale and auxiliary scale can be used as templates for fixed angles of 30°, 45°, 90°, and 135°. The upper side of the vertical main scale arm is provided with parallel step notches for small angle measurement. The end of the auxiliary scale pointer arm is a fan-shaped structure, which can reduce visual errors in reading the scale.
[0032] The secondary ruler has two right-angled sides. The vertical side is the secondary ruler arm, with a 30° external angle at the top, which can also be used as a fixed-angle template. The horizontal side is the pointer arm, with a width of ≤8mm. The end is a fan-shaped structure with the same radius as the main ruler fan, which can reduce visual errors in reading the ruler. The pointer 0 line is on the center line of the pointer arm. There are three small grids above and below the pointer 0 line, each small grid ≤5 / 6° (50'). The scale markings use differential values, which are 10', 20', and 30' lines respectively. There is a precision hinge shaft hole in the right-angle area of the secondary ruler, which is installed with the precision screw tail hinge shaft;
[0033] Attachment Figure 2In measurement example 1, the internal angle is 170° and the external angle is 80°. The 0-line of the secondary ruler is aligned with the 80° external angle (170° internal angle) scale line, and the other difference lines are staggered. The measured value is 80° external angle (170° internal angle).
[0034] Attachment Figure 3 In the measurement example 2, the interior angle is 122°9'59", and the exterior angle is 32°9'59";
[0035] The secondary ruler datum 0 line alignment value is slightly greater than 122°
[0036] There is a 10' line aligned above the 0 line of the secondary ruler, so the measurement value is 122°10'
[0037] The actual precision value in this example is 122°9'59", with an error of 1".
[0038] Attachment Figure 4 Measurement Example 3: Internal angle 90°36', external angle 36'
[0039] The secondary scale datum 0 line alignment value is greater than 1 / 2° (30');
[0040] There are no alignment lines at 10', 20', and 30' above the secondary ruler's datum line 0, but the 30' line approaches the alignment line. If the 40' line is closer to the alignment line, then (30' + 40') / 2 = 35' can be used as the readout value.
[0041] In this example, the actual precision value is 36', so the error is 1'.
[0042] The function of the portable multi-purpose subdivided scale protractor is focused on the very narrow pointer arm, which is effectively set into differential group scale lines, combined with the attached Figure 2 、 3 , 4 detailed reflection, realize the subdivision of "degree" and read "score" with evidence.
