Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of measuring device technology, specifically relating to a contact wire support slope measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] A theodolite is an instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. When measuring the slope of overhead contact line supports, a theodolite or a simple measuring instrument (such as a spirit level) is used. However, using a theodolite is complex, time-consuming, and inefficient. Furthermore, the theodolite consists of multiple bulky modules, making it inconvenient to carry and increasing the operator's workload. Using a simple measuring instrument, on the other hand, results in insufficient accuracy due to the limited length of the slope data collected (i.e., a small sampling length), and the obtained data is relatively abstract, requiring further manual analysis, which also affects measurement efficiency. Therefore, there is currently a lack of a new device for measuring the slope of overhead contact line supports to address the problems of theodolites being heavy, inconvenient to carry, complex to operate, and time-consuming each time.

[0003] Therefore, a new technology is needed to address the lack of a novel contact wire support slope measurement device in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

The housing 1 has a flat side A that can abut against the object to be measured (such as a "contact wire support post"). During measurement, the flat side A of the measuring device is placed against the contact wire support post. Relying on the sensor 2 and the processing device, the measuring device can automatically measure the slope data of the contact wire support post and ultimately display the slope data on the display screen 3 for human reading.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Preferably, the sensor 2 is also connected to the display screen 3.
