Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering equipment technology, and in particular to a slope measuring instrument for water conservancy engineering. Background Technology

[0002] During the construction of water conservancy projects or civil engineering projects, it is often necessary to repeatedly measure and calibrate the slope of the ground or slope to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent construction.

[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN221745021U discloses a slope measuring instrument for hydraulic engineering, comprising a base, a support rod on the top surface of the base, a through cavity with left and right openings on the support rod, and a connecting rod inside the through cavity; the support rod also has through holes with front and rear openings, and a bearing inside the through hole, with a rotating rod connected to the bearing, the two ends of the rotating rod located outside the support rod, and measuring scales at both ends of the rotating rod; the top of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rotating rod; and counterweights are provided at the bottom of the two measuring scales.

[0004] However, the slope measuring instrument still has some shortcomings in actual use. The most obvious one is that when the operator carries the instrument and moves it, the measuring ruler, which lacks a locking mechanism, will swing around the rotating rod as the axis, making it easy for the operator to bump into it, increasing the difficulty of carrying and moving it, and making it inconvenient to use in practice.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a slope measuring instrument for water conservancy projects to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a slope measuring instrument for water conservancy projects. During movement, the measuring ruler can be prevented from swinging arbitrarily, reducing the difficulty of carrying and moving it, and making it more convenient in actual use. In addition, the device can be reinforced during the unlocking process, thereby preventing the device from sliding during measurement. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art that when the operator carries the instrument, the measuring ruler, which lacks a locking mechanism, will swing arbitrarily around the rotating rod as the axis, making it easy for the operator to bump into it, increasing the difficulty of carrying and moving it, and making it inconvenient in actual use.

[0007] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: a slope measuring instrument for hydraulic engineering, comprising:

[0008] A placement mechanism for mounting the measuring mechanism;

[0009] A measuring mechanism for measuring slope; and

[0010] A locking mechanism, comprising a screw, a knob, a second inverted U-shaped frame, a base plate, a locking rod, and an anchor rod;

[0011] The screw is rotatably nested on the top of the first inverted U-shaped frame via a bearing. The knob is fixedly set on the top of the screw. The second inverted U-shaped frame is sleeved on the outside of the screw and is connected to the screw in a transmission manner. The base plate is fixedly set on the bottom end of the second inverted U-shaped frame. The locking rod is fixedly set at the top center of the base plate and slidably set inside the locking channel. There are two anchor rods, and the two anchor rods are respectively fixedly set at the bottom ends of the locking rod.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the slope measuring instrument for hydraulic engineering, the placement mechanism includes a placement plate and a clearance groove, wherein the clearance groove is formed inside the placement plate.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment of the slope measuring instrument for hydraulic engineering, the measuring mechanism includes a first inverted U-shaped frame, which is fixedly disposed on the top of the placement plate, and a second inverted U-shaped frame passes through the first inverted U-shaped frame in a vertical direction and is slidably connected to the first inverted U-shaped frame.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the slope measuring instrument for hydraulic engineering, the measuring mechanism further includes a movable shaft and a locking channel. The movable shaft passes through the first inverted U-shaped frame and is rotatably connected to the first inverted U-shaped frame via a bearing. The locking channel is vertically disposed at the center of the top of the movable shaft.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment of the slope measuring instrument for water conservancy projects disclosed herein, the measuring mechanism further includes measuring rulers and indicating arrows, each with two measuring rulers and two indicating arrows. The two measuring rulers are respectively fixedly sleeved at both ends of the outer side of the movable shaft, and each has a counterweight fixedly installed at its inner bottom end. The two indicating arrows are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the first inverted U-shaped frame.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention features a locking mechanism that locks the movable shaft when the device is moved, preventing the measuring scale from swinging freely. During measurement, the placement plate is positioned at the measurement location, both feet are placed on either end of the plate, and the knob is turned. The knob drives the screw to rotate synchronously, which in turn moves the second inverted U-shaped frame downwards. As the second inverted U-shaped frame moves downwards, the anchor rod is inserted into the soil for reinforcement. Simultaneously, the locking rod gradually moves out of the locking channel via the base plate. Once the locking rod is out, the measuring scale rotates around the movable shaft under the action of the counterweight. The position of the indicator arrow on the outside of the measuring scale is then observed to obtain the reading. Compared to existing similar devices, this invention prevents the measuring scale from swinging freely during movement, reducing the difficulty of carrying and moving it, making it more convenient to use. Furthermore, the unlocking process reinforces the device, preventing slippage during measurement. Attached Figure Description

[0026] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., as in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” other components or features would subsequently be positioned “above” said other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a slope measuring instrument for water conservancy projects according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the placement mechanism 1 and the measuring mechanism 2 of a slope measuring instrument for hydraulic engineering according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0029] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the locking mechanism 3 of a slope measuring instrument for hydraulic engineering according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the slope measuring instrument for water conservancy projects disclosed herein may include components such as a placement mechanism 1, a measuring mechanism 2, and a locking mechanism 3.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown in this disclosure, the placement mechanism 1 includes a placement plate 11 and a clearance groove 12, wherein the clearance groove 12 is formed inside the placement plate 11.

[0032] Therefore, in order to facilitate actual measurement, the placement plate 11 is placed at the measurement position, and both feet step on the two ends of the placement plate 11 respectively.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the measuring mechanism 2 includes a first inverted U-shaped frame 21, a movable shaft 22, a measuring ruler 23, an indicator arrow 24, and a locking channel 25. The first inverted U-shaped frame 21 is fixedly mounted on the top of the placement plate 11. The second inverted U-shaped frame 33 passes through the first inverted U-shaped frame 21 in a vertical direction and is slidably connected to the first inverted U-shaped frame 21. The movable shaft 22 passes through the first inverted U-shaped frame 21 and is rotatably connected to the first inverted U-shaped frame 21 via a bearing. The locking channel 25 passes through the center of the top of the movable shaft 22 in a vertical direction. Two measuring rulers 23 and two indicator arrows 24 are provided. The two measuring rulers 23 are respectively fixedly sleeved on both ends of the outer side of the movable shaft 22, and a counterweight is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of each of them. The two indicator arrows 24 are respectively fixedly mounted on both sides of the first inverted U-shaped frame 21.

[0034] Therefore, when the locking lever 35 is moved out, the measuring ruler 23 rotates around the movable shaft 22 under the action of the counterweight. At this time, observe the position of the indicator arrow 24 on the outside of the measuring ruler 23, and then complete the reading.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown in this disclosure, the locking mechanism 3 includes a screw 31, a knob 32, a second inverted U-shaped frame 33, a base plate 34, a locking rod 35, and an anchor rod 36. The screw 31 is rotatably nested on the top of the first inverted U-shaped frame 21 via a bearing. The knob 32 is fixedly disposed on the top of the screw 31. The second inverted U-shaped frame 33 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 31 and is connected to the screw 31 in a transmission manner. The base plate 34 is fixedly disposed on the bottom end of the second inverted U-shaped frame 33. The locking rod 35 is fixedly disposed at the top center of the base plate 34 and slidably disposed inside the locking channel 25. Two anchor rods 36 are provided, and the two anchor rods 36 are respectively fixedly disposed at the bottom ends of the locking rod 35.

[0036] Therefore, when the device is moved, the locking rod 35 locks the movable shaft 22, preventing the measuring scale 23 from swinging freely. During actual measurement, the knob 32 is rotated, which drives the screw 31 to rotate synchronously. The screw 31 then drives the second inverted U-shaped frame 33 to move continuously downward. When the second inverted U-shaped frame 33 moves downward, it drives the anchor rod 36 to be inserted into the soil for reinforcement. At the same time, the locking rod 35 is gradually moved out from the inside of the locking channel 25 through the base plate 34. Compared with existing similar devices, the measuring scale 23 can be prevented from swinging freely during movement, reducing the difficulty of carrying and moving it. It is more convenient to use in practice. In addition, the device can be reinforced during the unlocking process, thereby preventing the device from sliding during measurement.

[0037] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
