Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to measuring tools, and more particularly to a feeler gauge for measuring gaps. Background Technology
[0002] When designing the interior of a building, it is necessary to measure gaps. However, traditional measuring rulers are inconvenient for measuring gaps, so feeler gauges are needed. Currently, the feeler gauge is usually removed by the user inserting their finger into the frame to pry it out. Although this method is labor-saving, it is difficult to insert the finger into the frame when debris gets inside. In this case, it is inconvenient to remove the feeler gauge and it is easy to cause low measurement efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a gap measuring feeler gauge, which has the advantage of being easy to remove the feeler gauge piece.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a gap measuring feeler gauge, including: a frame, a connecting shaft, a feeler gauge piece, a limiting piece, and a hand-tightening nut. The frame is a hollow shell structure with an open top. At least one feeler gauge piece is oscillatingly connected to the first end of the frame through the connecting shaft. The frame can accommodate the feeler gauge piece. The bottom of the frame is provided with a push-out port near the first end of the frame for pushing the feeler gauge piece out of the frame. The bottom of the frame is provided with a limiting piece near the push-out port. The feeler gauge piece can abut against the limiting piece. When the feeler gauge piece is in the frame, there is a gap between the end of the feeler gauge piece and the inner sidewall of the frame that allows a finger to be inserted. The connecting shaft is provided with an external thread. The hand-tightening nut can be threadedly connected to the external thread. The hand-tightening nut can squeeze the first end of the frame and make the first end of the frame and the feeler gauge piece fit tightly together.
[0005] Optionally, two first connecting holes are coaxially formed on the two side walls at the first end of the frame, and a second connecting hole is formed at the root of the feeler gauge. The connecting shaft can pass through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole. The first end of the connecting shaft can be fixedly connected to any side wall at the first end of the frame, and the second end of the connecting shaft is threaded with a hand screw.
[0006] Optionally, the first end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first end of the frame by riveting. The connecting shaft is made of copper alloy. The outer peripheral wall of the hand-tightening nut is provided with anti-slip teeth. The second end of the connecting shaft is fixed by welding a limit block. The hand-tightening nut is located between the frame and the limit block. The limit block can prevent the hand-tightening nut from separating from the connecting shaft.
[0007] Optionally, the outer peripheral wall of the frame is covered with an anti-slip coating.
[0008] Optionally, the frame includes a U-shaped wall and a base plate welded to the bottom of the U-shaped wall. The U-shaped wall is integrally formed by stamping. The bent part of the U-shaped wall corresponds to the second end of the frame. The root of the limiting piece is fixed to the U-shaped wall by welding. The end of the limiting piece is a free end. The U-shaped wall, the base plate and the limiting piece are all made of aluminum alloy.
[0009] Optionally, the two side walls of the U-shaped wall are provided with weight-reduction openings.
[0010] Optionally, both the end and the root of the feeler gauge are arc-shaped, and when the feeler gauge abuts against the top surface of the base plate, the feeler gauge and the top of the U-shaped wall are flush.
[0011] Optionally, it also includes a friction plate, and the number of feeler gauge plates is greater than one, with the friction plate sleeved on the connecting shaft between two adjacent feeler gauge plates.
[0012] Optionally, each feeler gauge piece is printed with corresponding size information.
[0013] Optionally, the bottom surface of the base plate is provided with a connection port, and a magnet is disposed in the connection port. The magnet is fixedly connected to the connection port by adhesive.
[0014] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: The gap measuring feeler gauge includes a frame, a connecting shaft, a feeler gauge piece, a limiting piece, and a hand-tightening nut. In use, the user can insert their finger into the gap between the frame and the end of the feeler gauge piece to pry it out of the frame, or they can insert their finger into the push-out port to push the feeler gauge piece out of the frame. In a clean environment, the user can easily remove the feeler gauge piece by inserting their finger into the gap between the frame and the end of the feeler gauge piece, which is more effortless. However, when there is a lot of dust or debris in the measurement environment, the gap between the frame and the end of the feeler gauge piece is easily blocked by dust or debris, preventing the user from inserting their finger. In this case, the user can push the feeler gauge piece out of the frame by inserting their finger into the push-out port, thus solving the problem of the feeler gauge piece being difficult to remove. This design not only solves the problem of easy dust or debris removal but also facilitates subsequent cleaning of the gap. With two methods for removing the feeler gauge, users can choose the method that best suits their needs. Compared to existing feeler gauges, this design reduces the inconvenience of removing the feeler gauge. Furthermore, this application makes removing the feeler gauge more convenient than existing feeler gauges. When the feeler gauge rotates to the limiting plate, the limiting plate provides a stop and prevents further rotation. After the feeler gauge is rotated to the appropriate position, the user can tighten the hand-tightening nut. At this time, the hand-tightening nut presses against the first end of the frame, causing the first end of the frame to bend and press against the feeler gauge, making the first end of the frame and the feeler gauge fit tightly together. This uses friction to fix the feeler gauge. This design offers the advantage of easy feeler gauge removal. Attached Figure Description

[0020] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0021] This specific embodiment details the gap measuring feeler gauge described in this application, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the gap measuring feeler gauge includes: a frame, a connecting shaft 1, a feeler gauge piece 2, a limiting piece 3, and a hand-tightening nut 4. The frame is a hollow shell structure with an open top. At least one feeler gauge piece 2 is oscillatingly connected to the first end of the frame via the connecting shaft 1. The frame can accommodate the feeler gauge piece 2. The bottom of the frame has an ejection port near the first end for ejecting the feeler gauge piece 2 from the frame. The bottom of the frame has a limiting piece 3 near the ejection port, allowing the feeler gauge piece 2 to abut against the limiting piece 3. When the feeler gauge piece 2 is inside the frame, there is a gap between the end of the feeler gauge piece 2 and the inner wall of the frame, allowing a finger to be inserted. The connecting shaft 1 has an external thread, and the hand-tightening nut 4 can be threadedly connected to the external thread. The hand-tightening nut 4 can press the first end of the frame and make the first end of the frame and the feeler gauge piece 2 fit tightly together. In use, the user can insert their finger into the gap between the frame and the end of the feeler gauge 2 to pry the feeler gauge 2 out of the frame, or they can insert their finger into the push-out port to push the feeler gauge 2 out of the frame. In a clean environment, the user can easily remove the feeler gauge 2 by inserting their finger into the gap between the frame and the end of the feeler gauge 2. However, when there is a lot of dust or debris in the measurement environment, the gap between the frame and the end of the feeler gauge 2 may be blocked by dust or debris, making it impossible to insert a finger. In this case, the user can push the feeler gauge 2 out of the frame by inserting their finger into the push-out port. This not only solves the problem of the feeler gauge 2 being difficult to remove, but also facilitates the subsequent cleaning of dust or debris in the gap. Because it has two functions... The method for removing the feeler gauge piece 2 allows users to choose the method according to their needs. Compared to existing feeler gauges, this method is less prone to inconvenience in removing the feeler gauge piece. Furthermore, this application makes removing the feeler gauge piece 2 much easier than existing feeler gauges. When the feeler gauge piece 2 rotates to the limiting piece 3, the limiting piece 3 provides a limit and prevents further rotation. After the feeler gauge piece 2 has rotated to the appropriate position, the user can tighten the hand-tightening nut 4. At this time, the hand-tightening nut 4 presses against the first end of the frame. Under the pressure of the hand-tightening nut 4, the first end of the frame bends and presses against the feeler gauge piece 2, making the first end of the frame and the feeler gauge piece 2 fit tightly together, thereby fixing the feeler gauge piece 2 through friction. This method has the advantage of facilitating the removal of the feeler gauge piece.
[0022] Optionally in this embodiment, two first connecting holes are coaxially formed on the two side walls at the first end of the frame, and a second connecting hole is formed at the root of the feeler gauge 2. The connecting shaft 1 can pass through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole. The first end of the connecting shaft 1 can be fixedly connected to any side wall at the first end of the frame, and the second end of the connecting shaft 1 is threaded with a hand screw.
[0023] Optionally in this embodiment, the first end of the connecting shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first end of the frame by riveting. The material of the connecting shaft 1 is copper alloy. The outer peripheral wall of the hand-tightening nut 4 is provided with anti-slip teeth. The second end of the connecting shaft 1 is fixed by welding a limiting block. The hand-tightening nut 4 is located between the frame and the limiting block. The limiting block can prevent the hand-tightening nut 4 from separating from the connecting shaft 1.
[0024] Optionally in this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the frame is covered with an anti-slip coating. The anti-slip coating can increase the friction when the user grips it, preventing accidental drops.
[0025] Optionally in this embodiment, the frame includes a U-shaped wall 5 and a base plate 6 welded to the bottom of the U-shaped wall 5. The U-shaped wall 5 is integrally formed by stamping. The bent part of the U-shaped wall 5 corresponds to the second end of the frame. The root of the limiting piece 3 is fixed to the U-shaped wall 5 by welding. The end of the limiting piece 3 is a free end. The U-shaped wall 5, the base plate 6 and the limiting piece 3 are all made of aluminum alloy.
[0026] Optionally in this embodiment, the two side walls of the U-shaped wall 5 are provided with weight reduction openings.
[0027] Optionally in this embodiment, both the end and the root of the feeler gauge 2 are rounded, so that when the feeler gauge 2 abuts against the top surface of the base plate 6, the top of the feeler gauge 2 is flush with the top of the U-shaped wall 5. The rounded shape of the end and root of the feeler gauge 2 prevents it from scratching the user's fingers and reduces the probability of injury during the process of removing the feeler gauge 2.
[0028] Optionally, this embodiment also includes a friction plate, and the number of feeler gauge plates 2 is greater than one. The friction plate is sleeved on the connecting shaft 1 and located between two adjacent feeler gauge plates 2.
[0029] Optionally in this embodiment, each feeler gauge piece 2 is printed with corresponding size information.
[0030] Optionally in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the base plate 6 is provided with a connection port, and a magnet is disposed in the connection port. The magnet is fixedly connected to the connection port by adhesive. When it is inconvenient for the user to store the gap measuring feeler gauge, the gap measuring feeler gauge can be directly attached to a ferrous material, such as a ferrous cabinet or ferrous shelf, by means of the magnet.
[0031] Using the gap measuring feeler gauge in this embodiment has the advantage of making it easy to remove the feeler gauge piece.
