[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0019] Example:
[0020] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a snow thickness observation device for a steel structure building roof, including an observation ruler 1. The observation ruler 1 is coated with fluorescent paint of different colors along its scale, which makes it easy for the observer to calculate the snow thickness by color. The width of each color of fluorescent paint is 1cm, that is, the scale interval of the observation ruler 1 is 1cm. The bottom of the observation ruler 1 is detachably installed on an adjustment seat 2. The adjustment seat 2 is used to adjust the tilt angle of the observation ruler 1 so that the observation ruler 1 is perpendicular to the horizontal line of the ground. The bottom of the adjustment seat 2 is fixedly installed on a locking component 3, and the locking component 3 is locked to the locking edge on the steel structure roof.
[0021] Since photovoltaic panels are often installed on the roofs of steel structure buildings, the photovoltaic panels can be fixedly connected to the top of the locking component 3, which facilitates the installation of the photovoltaic panels.
[0022] Furthermore, the locking component 3 includes a fixing plate 31, a clamping plate 32, a screw 33, and a nut 34. The fixing plate 31 has an L-shaped structure, and the adjusting seat 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate 31. The clamping plate 32 is located below the top of the fixing plate 31. The screw 33 passes through the side of the fixing plate 31 and is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 32. The two ends of the screw 33 are threadedly connected to the nut 34.
[0023] Furthermore, the side of the fixing plate 31 is provided with a slot 4, and the end of the clamping plate 32 is inserted into the slot 4 to further enhance the locking effect.
[0024] Furthermore, a base plate 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 31 to enhance the stability of the fixing plate 31 during the clamping process.
[0025] Furthermore, the clamping plate 32 is composed of a horizontal plate 321, a horizontal plate 322, a vertical plate 323, a vertical plate 324, and an inclined plate 325. The horizontal plate 321 is vertically fixedly connected to the vertical plate 323. The vertical plate 323 is connected to the vertical plate 324 through the outwardly inclined plate 325. The vertical plate 324 is vertically fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 322. The horizontal plate 321 and the horizontal plate 322 are arranged on the same side. The horizontal plate 321 is inserted into the slot 4, which meets the clamping requirements of different shaped locking edges, expands the scope of application, and has strong flexibility and practicality.
[0026] Furthermore, the adjusting seat 2 includes a base 21, a second screw 22, and a second nut 23. The base 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate 31. One end of the second screw 22 is connected to the base 21 by a damping ball joint, so that the direction of the observation scale 1 will not easily change after the observation scale 1 and the second screw 22 are rotated to a certain position, and the normal operation of the observation scale 1 will not be affected. The other end of the second screw 22 is threaded to the bottom of the observation scale 1, and the second nut 23 is threaded on the second screw 22.
[0027] The setting of nut 23 can better position and limit the installation position of observation ruler 1, preventing the installation position of observation ruler 1 from being too high or too low, which would affect the actual observation results.
[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0029] Rotate nut 34 inward to connect it with screw 33, thereby tightening clamp 32 inward and locking it with the locking edge on the steel structure roof. This connects the bottom of observation ruler 1 with the top of screw 22. Under the action of the ball joint between the bottom of screw 22 and base 21, the tilt angle of observation ruler 1 is adjusted so that observation ruler 1 is perpendicular to the horizontal line of the earth, thus meeting the snow accumulation observation needs of different roof slopes.
[0030] In severe cold and heavy snow, the different colored fluorescent paints on the observation ruler 1 can be observed with the naked eye or with a telescope. By judging the position where the snow has exceeded the observation ruler 1, the thickness of the snow on the roof can be identified, the snow load on the roof can be inferred, and thus it can be inferred whether the steel structure roof needs to be cleaned.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "left", "right", "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "front", "back", "inner", "outer", "back", "middle", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0032] However, the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, any substitution of equivalent components or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model should still fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
