[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, tunnels, as a crucial component of urban transportation, are receiving increasing attention for their safety and stability. Fire-retardant coatings, as an important protective material, are increasingly widely used in tunnel construction. The application of fire-retardant coatings in tunnel construction is of great significance. Their excellent fire resistance, environmental friendliness, good adhesion, and ease of application make them an ideal choice for tunnel fire protection. Through the proper application of fire-retardant coatings, the overall fire resistance rating of tunnels can be effectively improved, tunnel structures can be protected, evacuation and rescue efficiency can be enhanced, and a strong guarantee can be provided for the safe and stable operation of tunnels.
[0003] Currently, after the application of fireproof coatings in tunnels is completed, it is necessary to test the thickness of the fireproof coating.

This process damages the applied fireproof coating, and the thickness readings are inaccurate, resulting in low testing efficiency. Alternatively, there are more intelligent tunnel fireproof coating thickness testing devices, which are more efficient, but they are expensive and inconvenient to carry. Utility Model Content

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] See also Figure 1-3A tunnel fireproof coating thickness measuring instrument includes a base plate 1, which is rectangular in shape with dimensions of 10cm x 10cm x 0.5cm. A fixing block 2, 1cm thick, is fixedly mounted on the center of the base plate 1. A scale 3 is vertically mounted on the fixing block 2. Dimensional graduations are provided on both sides of the front side of the scale 3 along its length. The graduations on the scale 3 gradually increase from top to bottom for easy reading. The scale 3 is 20cm long and has a measuring range of 20cm. A guide tube 4 is vertically mounted on the fixing block 2 on the front side of the scale 3. The guide tube 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 2. A measuring needle 5, 20.5cm long, passes through the guide tube 4, with its upper end flush with the upper end of the scale 3. The measuring needle 5 has a pointed tip at its lower end, which is used to insert into the fireproof coating to test the thickness of the fireproof coating. A fixed seat 6 is set on one side of the guide tube 4 and fixedly connected to the fixed block 2. An adjustment mechanism 7 is set on the upper end of the fixed seat 6 to drive the measuring needle 5 to move along the guide tube 4. By attaching the bottom surface of the base plate 1 to the side wall of the tunnel fireproof coating, the measuring needle 5 is driven to vertically pass through the fixed block 2 and the base plate 1 and pierce into the interior of the tunnel fireproof coating through the adjustment mechanism 7 until it touches the cement wall and stops piercing. The thickness of the tunnel fireproof coating is measured by reading the distance that the measuring needle 5 moves relative to the scale 3. The measurement process will not damage the finished tunnel fireproof coating over a large area. The detection speed is fast, the detection accuracy is high, and the measuring instrument is small in size, light in weight, and easy to carry.
[0030] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 The base plate 1 is provided with a vertically penetrating first guide hole 11, and the fixing block 2 is provided with a vertically penetrating second guide hole 21. The first guide hole 11, the second guide hole 21, and the guide tube 4 are vertically connected. When the measuring needle 5 passes through the second guide hole 21 and the first guide hole 11 in sequence to penetrate into the tunnel fireproof coating, the moving direction of the measuring needle 5 is positioned and guided.
[0031] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 A threaded adjustment hole 22 is provided on the side wall of the fixing block 2, which is horizontally connected to the second guide hole 21. An adjustment screw 23 is provided in the threaded adjustment hole 22. When the measuring needle 5 is inserted into the tunnel fireproof coating, the threaded adjustment hole 22 is connected by the adjustment screw 23, and the measuring needle 5 is pressed against the inner wall of the second guide hole 21 to securely connect the measuring needle 5 to the inner wall of the second guide hole 21. This allows the measuring needle 5 to maintain its relative position after displacement relative to the scale 3, making it convenient to read the measurement results.
[0032] In this embodiment, see Figure 2A slot 24 is provided on the fixing block 2. The shape of the slot 24 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the scale 3. The depth of the slot 24 is the same as the thickness of the fixing block 2. The lower part of the scale 3 is embedded in the slot 24 and fixed. The insertion depth is 1cm. After the measuring needle 5 is displaced relative to the scale 3, it can be directly converted into the thickness of the tunnel fireproof coating.
[0033] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 A vertical guide groove 41 is provided on the front side wall of the guide tube 4, and the guide groove 41 communicates with the inner cavity of the guide tube 4. A guide block 42, which is fixedly connected to the measuring needle 5, is provided in the guide groove 41. The two sides of the guide block 42 are limited and guided by the guide groove 41. A vertical guide adjustment hole is provided on the top of the guide block 42, and an adjustment screw 44 passes through the guide adjustment hole. A spring seat 45 is provided on the fixing block 2 below the guide block 42. A tension spring 46 is provided between the spring seat 45 and the guide block 42. The lower end of the spring 46 is elastically fixedly connected to the spring seat 45, and the upper end is elastically fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjusting screw 44. The upper end of the adjusting screw 44 is fixedly connected to the guide block 42 through the adjusting nut 47. The adjusting screw 44 is moved upward by the adjusting nut 47, which tightens the tension spring 46, giving the tension spring 46 an initial preload. The tension spring 46 with the initial preload drives the measuring needle 5 to pierce the tunnel fireproof coating, saving manual labor intensity, providing stable piercing force, and quickly penetrating the tunnel fireproof coating.
[0034] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 The adjustment mechanism 7 includes an adjustment gear 71, a mounting shaft 72, and a handwheel 73. The mounting shaft 72 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the fixed base 6. The adjustment gear 71 is coaxially mounted on one end of the mounting shaft 72, and the handwheel 73 is mounted on the other end. The side wall of the measuring needle 5 is provided with a strip-shaped external tooth 51 along the length direction, which can mesh with the adjustment gear 71 for transmission. When the operator rotates the handwheel 73 counterclockwise, it drives the mounting shaft 72 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting shaft 72 drives the adjustment gear 71 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the adjustment gear 71 meshes with the strip-shaped external tooth 51 on the measuring needle 5, driving the measuring needle 5 to move upward in a directional direction. The measuring needle 5 does not require manual positioning, saving time and effort.
[0035] As can be seen from the above technical solution, during use, the operator places the base plate 1 vertically, then applies pressure to the base plate 1 from one side to make it adhere and fix it to the position to be tested on the side wall of the tunnel fireproof coating. By tightening the adjusting nut 47, the adjusting screw 44 moves upward, pulling the tension spring 46 and giving the tension spring 46 an initial preload. By rotating the handwheel 73 counterclockwise, the operator drives the mounting shaft 72 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting shaft 72 drives the adjusting gear 71 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the adjusting gear 71 meshes with the strip external teeth 51 on the measuring needle 5, driving the measuring needle 5 to move outward in a directional direction. Through the tension spring 46 with its initial preload, the tension spring 46... During the recovery process, the measuring needle 5 is driven to pierce the surface of the tunnel fireproof coating. The piercing stops after touching the cement wall. Then, the adjusting screw 23 is screwed into the threaded adjusting hole 22 and presses against the measuring needle 5 to firmly connect the measuring needle 5 to the inner wall of the second guide hole 21. This allows the measuring needle 5 to maintain its relative position after displacement relative to the scale 3. The thickness of the tunnel fireproof coating can be measured by reading the distance the measuring needle 5 moves relative to the scale 3. The measurement process will not damage the completed tunnel fireproof coating. The detection speed is fast, the detection accuracy is high, and the measuring instrument is small, lightweight, and easy to carry.
