[0002] An inclinometer tube is an instrument used to measure deep horizontal displacement in soil and rock masses. It is typically made of materials such as PVC. Its working principle involves pre-embedding the inclinometer tube inside the object being measured. By placing an inclinometer probe inside the tube, the displacement of the probe along the guide groove at different depths is measured, thereby calculating the deep horizontal displacement of the object. Currently, this technology is widely used in deep tunnel foundation pits, concrete dams, and other fields, playing a crucial role in monitoring slope stability, foundation displacement of buildings, and deformation of diaphragm walls, thus ensuring construction safety.
[0003] However, in actual engineering construction, the inclinometer tube and the connecting sleeve are usually connected by drilling holes with screws. This method is not only slow, but also damages the integrity of the tube material by drilling holes in the inclinometer tube and the connecting sleeve. After the construction is completed, mud and debris can easily enter the inclinometer tube, causing blockage inside the tube, affecting the accuracy and difficulty of data acquisition, and may even make subsequent maintenance and repair work more complicated and difficult, increasing the project cost and time cost.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly necessary to propose a new type of inclinometer connection device that can increase construction convenience, achieve a fixed connection between the inclinometer tube and the connecting device, and ensure the airtightness of the inclinometer tube.

[0014] The specific installation steps of the novel inclinometer casing connecting device are as follows:
[0015] S1, when the inclinometer casing is connected with the connecting sleeve, the convex on the outer side of the inclinometer casing is aligned with the guide groove of the waterproof rubber pad on the inner side of the connecting sleeve, and the waterproof rubber pad tightly wraps the inclinometer casing;
[0016] S2, the relative position between the inclinometer casing and the connecting sleeve is ensured, so that the first strap is aligned with the annular clamping groove on the outer side of the connecting sleeve, and the second strap is aligned with the annular clamping groove on the outer side of the inclinometer casing.

[0028] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.
[0029] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present application should be understood as the usual meaning understood by a person with ordinary skills in the art to which the present application belongs.
[0030] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3 The utility model provides a novel inclinometer casing connecting device, including connecting sleeve 3, inclinometer casing 8, waterproof rubber pad 2.
[0031] A plurality of protrusions 9 are arranged on the outer side of the inclinometer casing 8, and a plurality of guide grooves 1 matched with the protrusions 9 are arranged on the inner side of the waterproof rubber pad 2. The cooperation of the guide groove and the protrusion can limit the movement of the rubber pad, prevent it from slipping or falling off when subjected to external force, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection; the guide groove provides clear positioning guidance for the installation of the rubber pad, making the installation process more convenient and fast, and at the same time ensuring the accurate alignment of the rubber pad and the protrusion; the cooperation of the guide groove and the protrusion can disperse the pressure received by the rubber pad, avoid material damage caused by stress concentration, thereby prolonging the service life of the rubber pad.
[0032] Two annular clamping grooves 5 are arranged on the outer side of the connecting sleeve, and one annular clamping groove 5 is arranged on the outer side of the inclinometer casing 8. The arrangement of two annular clamping grooves on the outer side of the connecting sleeve can more firmly clamp the connecting components such as pipes or waterproof rubber pads, effectively prevent the connection from loosening or falling off due to external force, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection.
[0033] The double annular clamping grooves are used in cooperation with sealing materials such as waterproof rubber pads, so that a double sealing structure is formed. When one clamping groove fails, the other clamping groove can still keep the sealing effect, thereby improving the overall sealing performance.
[0034] During installation, one clamping groove can be used to clamp the connecting component, and then the position of the other clamping groove is adjusted to ensure accurate alignment and close fit of the connecting component. Meanwhile, the connecting component can be easily taken out of the clamping groove during disassembly. The two annular clamping grooves can disperse the stress received by the connecting component, avoid material damage caused by stress concentration, and help prolong the service life of the connecting sleeve and related components.
[0035] The novel inclinometer connecting device further comprises a first cable tie 4 and a second cable tie 6. The first cable tie 4 is located between the two annular clamping grooves 5 on the outer side of the connecting sleeve. The second cable tie 6 is located between the second annular clamping groove 5 on the outer side of the connecting sleeve 3 and the annular clamping groove 5 on the outer side of the inclinometer 8. Placing the cable tie between the clamping grooves can provide additional fixing force for the connecting sleeve and the inclinometer, effectively preventing the connecting component from loosening or falling off due to external force, thereby significantly enhancing the stability of the connection.
[0036] The selection of the cable tie should fully consider the strength and durability of the cable tie material, environmental adaptability, and specific selection of appropriate specifications according to actual needs and the size of the fixed object to ensure the stability and moderate tension of the cable tie.
[0037] The use of the cable tie can further compress the sealing material such as the waterproof rubber pad to ensure close fit between the connecting sleeve and the inclinometer, form a more effective sealing structure, prevent impurities such as water and dust from entering, and improve the overall sealing performance. It is easy to install and disassemble, only needs to be simply threaded through the annular clamping groove and tightened, without the need for complex tools or operations, simplifying the installation process and facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement work. It has certain elasticity and adjustability, can adapt to connecting components and annular clamping grooves of different sizes, and provides greater flexibility and adaptability for installation.
[0038] The width of the annular clamping groove 5 is consistent with the width of the first cable tie 4 and the second cable tie 6. A plurality of connecting cable ties 7 are arranged between the first cable tie and the second cable tie. The number of the connecting cable ties 7 is not less than 4. In this embodiment, the number of the connecting cable ties 7 is 4. The connecting cable ties 7 are fixedly connected with the first cable tie 4 and the second cable tie 6.
[0039] By connecting the first and second straps together with the connecting strap, a more stable overall structure can be formed, improving the tensile strength and stability of the straps, effectively preventing loosening or falling off; the design of the connecting strap allows multiple straps to be easily connected together, and the fixed connection of the straps can more evenly distribute the tension, reducing the risk of breakage caused by excessive stress on a single point, thereby improving overall safety; the use of the connecting strap makes the combination and disassembly of the straps more flexible and convenient.
[0040] During the specific implementation process, the number of straps can be easily increased or decreased as needed to adapt to different size and shape fixing requirements.
[0041] The waterproof rubber pad 2 is tightly connected with the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 3. The elasticity of the rubber, the special sealing design, and the tightening force make the waterproof rubber pad tightly connected with the inner wall of the connecting sleeve.
[0042] Firstly, the waterproof rubber pad is made of high-elasticity rubber material, which can deform elastically when subjected to pressure, tightly adhering to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve to form an effective seal. The waterproof rubber pad is usually designed with special sealing structures that can further enhance its tight adhesion to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, ensuring the sealing effect. During installation, the waterproof rubber pad and the connecting sleeve are fixed together by means of fastening bolts and other components. The tightening force of the bolts forms a certain compression force between the waterproof rubber pad and the inner wall of the sleeve, further enhancing the tightness of the connection.
[0043] Secondly, the tight connection between the waterproof rubber pad 2 and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 3 ensures that there are no gaps between the waterproof rubber pad and the connecting sleeve, effectively preventing the entry of water, dust and other impurities, improving the sealing effect and enhancing the sealing performance. The tight connection makes the waterproof rubber pad less likely to fall off or shift when subjected to external forces, ensuring the stability of the connection and reducing the risk of leakage due to loosening. The tight connection reduces the erosion of the waterproof rubber pad by the external environment, such as wear and corrosion, thereby prolonging its service life. Through tight adhesion, the waterproof rubber pad can better exert its waterproof performance, ensuring that the connection remains dry for a long time and avoiding damage or failure caused by water penetration.
[0044] The inner diameter of the waterproof rubber pad 2 is equal to the outer diameter of the inclinometer tube 8. Considering the elasticity of the waterproof rubber pad, the later effect is that the waterproof rubber pad tightly wraps the inclinometer tube. The specific difference or gap between the inner diameter of the waterproof rubber pad and the outer diameter of the inclinometer tube does not have a fixed standard or value. The size of this difference or gap depends on various factors, including the material, thickness, and elasticity of the waterproof rubber pad, the material and dimensional tolerance of the inclinometer tube, and specific requirements during installation.
[0045] In practical applications, in order to ensure that the waterproof rubber pad can effectively cooperate with the inclinometer casing and play a waterproof role, it is usually necessary to select a waterproof rubber pad with appropriate size according to the specific size of the inclinometer casing and the waterproof requirement. When selecting, the elastic deformation ability of the rubber pad should be considered to ensure that it can closely fit on the outer wall of the inclinometer casing, while avoiding being too tight to cause installation difficulty or damage to the rubber pad.
[0046] The inner diameter of the waterproof rubber pad is equal to the outer diameter of the inclinometer casing, which can be tightly fitted on the outer wall of the inclinometer casing by extruding the rubber pad during installation, thereby ensuring good sealing effect and preventing water, dust and other impurities from entering; due to manufacturing errors, the outer diameter of the inclinometer casing may have certain size tolerance. The waterproof rubber pad can compensate for this tolerance to ensure that it can be tightly fitted on inclinometer casings of different sizes; the design of equal inner diameter makes it easier to fit into the inclinometer casing during installation, while reducing resistance when disassembly is required, facilitating maintenance and replacement; during use, the inclinometer casing or the rubber pad may be slightly deformed due to factors such as temperature and pressure, and this design provides space for such deformation, avoiding sealing failure caused by deformation.
[0047] The material of the waterproof rubber pad mainly includes ethylene-propylene rubber, nitrile rubber, chlorobutyl rubber, silicone rubber, fluorocarbon rubber, etc. When selecting a waterproof rubber pad, the material, thickness and size, quality assurance and product characteristics should be considered comprehensively to ensure that the selected product meets the actual needs and is reliable in quality. In this embodiment, the waterproof rubber pad 2 is a self-adhesive water-swelling waterproof rubber pad.
[0048] The specific installation process of the embodiment of the novel inclinometer casing connecting device is as follows:
[0049] S1, when connecting the inclinometer casing 8 and the connecting sleeve 3, align the protrusions 9 on the outer side of the inclinometer casing 8 with the guide grooves 1 of the waterproof rubber pad 2 on the inner side of the connecting sleeve 3, so that the waterproof rubber pad 2 tightly wraps the inclinometer casing 8;
[0050] S2, adjust the relative position between the inclinometer casing 8 and the connecting sleeve 3 to ensure that the first strap 4 is aligned with the annular clamping groove 5 on the outer side of the connecting sleeve 3, and the second strap 6 is aligned with the annular clamping groove 5 on the outer side of the inclinometer casing 8;
[0051] S3, tighten the first strap 4 and the second strap 6, so that the first strap 4 tightly fixes the connecting sleeve 3 and the second strap 6 tightly fixes the inclinometer casing 8, and at the same time, the excess part of the first strap 4 and the second strap 6 is cut off;
[0052] S4, after the fixing connection is completed, apply PVC glue at the joint between the inclinometer casing 8 and the connecting sleeve 3, and then use waterproof tape to bandage.
[0053] When the inclinometer casing 8 and the connecting sleeve 3 are subjected to external force and tend to be separated, the external force is transmitted to the four connecting straps 7 through the first strap 4, the second strap 6 and the annular clamping groove to be counteracted, thereby ensuring the fixed connection between the connecting sleeve 3 and the inclinometer casing 8.
[0054] Therefore, the novel inclinometer casing connecting device realizes the close connection between the inclinometer casing and the connecting sleeve, ensures the integrity of the material of the inclinometer casing and the connecting sleeve, avoids the weak link of the pipe body leakage, and enhances the overall sealing performance of the connected inclinometer casing through the waterproof rubber pad arranged on the inner side of the connecting sleeve.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can still be modified or replaced by the same, and these modifications or replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
