Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spirit level technology, and in particular to a bubble mounting structure for automatically calibrating a spirit level. Background Technology

[0002] A spirit level is used for civil engineering surveying, exploration, and positioning tasks in fields such as architecture, engineering, civil engineering, mining, and geology. The vertical bubble level is an important component of the spirit level, used to indicate whether the spirit level is horizontal.

[0003] Utility model patent CN 219573052 U discloses a vertical bubble mounting structure for a level suitable for automated calibration. The structure includes a level body with a vertical bubble structure on one side. The vertical bubble structure includes a mounting frame, a bubble holder, a bubble, and a cap. The bubble is fixedly connected inside the bubble holder, which is installed inside the mounting frame. The mounting frame is snapped and fixed inside the right side of the level body. The cap engages with the mounting frame. A pre-tightening mechanism is provided inside the mounting frame.

[0004] However, the above installation structure still has some drawbacks in actual use. The most obvious one is that when calibrating the bubble frame, it is necessary to use a vision camera, a data processing system and a robotic arm. The calibration cost is high, the process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and it cannot be effectively applied to the low-cost industrial production of spirit levels.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a bubble mounting structure for automatically calibrating a spirit level to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated bubble level installation structure for calibrating a spirit level. This structure includes an outer calibration slot, an inner calibration slot, and a calibration closure mechanism. After placing the level mechanism inside the outer casing and initially aligning it with the outer and inner calibration slots, the second shielding ring is removed. Then, the calibration insert is aligned with the outer and inner calibration slots and inserted until the inner wall of the second shielding ring is in contact with the front ends of the first and second cylindrical casings. At this point, the calibration insert is fully inserted into the outer and inner calibration slots, completing the calibration operation. The fixing bolt is then rotated and screwed into the threaded hole on the front of the first fixing block to complete the assembly. This addresses the problem mentioned in the background art that calibrating a spirit level requires a vision camera, data processing system, and robotic arm, resulting in high calibration costs, cumbersome procedures, and long processing times, making it unsuitable for low-cost industrial production of spirit levels.

[0034] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the calibration closure mechanism 4 of an automated calibration level bubble mounting structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the bubble mounting structure of the automated calibration level of this disclosure may include components such as: level body 1, outer shell mechanism 2, leveling mechanism 3, and calibration sealing mechanism 4.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown in this disclosure, the outer shell mechanism 2 includes a first cylindrical outer shell 21, a first shielding ring 22, a first transparent plate 23, a first fixing block 24, and an outer calibration groove 25. The first cylindrical outer shell 21 is fixedly connected to the spirit level body 1. Two first fixing blocks 24 are provided, and the two first fixing blocks 24 are respectively fixedly provided on both sides of the first cylindrical outer shell 21. The first fixing block 24 has a threaded hole on its front side. The first shielding ring 22 is fixedly provided at the rear end of the first cylindrical outer shell 21. The first transparent plate 23 is fixedly provided inside the first shielding ring 22. Multiple outer calibration grooves 25 are provided, and the multiple outer calibration grooves 25 are evenly provided on the front side of the first cylindrical outer shell 21.

[0037] Therefore, after the outer shell mechanism 2, the leveling mechanism 3 and the calibration sealing mechanism 4 are assembled, the outer shell mechanism 2 can be inserted into the mounting hole on the level ruler body 1 with adhesive applied by taking the first cylindrical outer shell 21, thereby completing the assembly of the outer shell mechanism 2 and the level ruler body 1.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the horizontal mechanism 3 includes a second cylindrical outer shell 31, a bubble body 32, and an inner calibration groove 33. The second cylindrical outer shell 31 is slidably disposed inside the first cylindrical outer shell 21, the bubble body 32 is fixedly disposed inside the second cylindrical outer shell 31, and multiple inner calibration grooves 33 are provided, which are evenly opened on the front side of the second cylindrical outer shell 31.

[0039] Therefore, in order to facilitate the actual assembly process, the second cylindrical shell 31 is picked up and then slid into the inside of the first cylindrical shell 21. During this process, the outer calibration groove 25 and the inner calibration groove 33 are checked, and the alignment of the outer calibration groove 25 and the inner calibration groove 33 is initially completed during the insertion of the second cylindrical shell 31.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown in this disclosure, the calibration sealing mechanism 4 includes a second shielding ring 41, a second transparent plate 42, a second fixing block 43, fixing bolts 44, and calibration inserts 45. The second shielding ring 41 is attached to the front end of the first cylindrical shell 21 and the second cylindrical shell 31. The second transparent plate 42 is fixedly disposed inside the second shielding ring 41. There are two of each of the second fixing blocks 43 and fixing bolts 44. The two second fixing blocks 43 are respectively fixedly disposed on both sides of the second shielding ring 41. The front of each of the two second fixing blocks 43 is provided with a sliding hole. The two fixing bolts 44 are respectively slidably disposed inside the two sliding holes. There are four calibration inserts 45. The four calibration inserts 45 are evenly fixedly disposed on the back of the second shielding ring 41. The rear end of each calibration insert 45 is disposed on a guide slope.

[0041] Therefore, after placing the leveling mechanism 3 inside the housing mechanism 2 and initially aligning the outer calibration slot 25 and the inner calibration slot 33, the second shielding ring 41 can be removed. Then, the calibration insert 45 is aligned with the outer calibration slot 25 and the inner calibration slot 33 and inserted until the inner wall of the second shielding ring 41 is in contact with the front end of the first cylindrical housing 21 and the front end of the second cylindrical housing 31. At this time, the calibration insert 45 is fully inserted into the outer calibration slot 25 and the inner calibration slot 33, thus completing the calibration operation. Then, the fixing bolt 44 is rotated so that the fixing bolt 44 is screwed into the threaded hole on the front of the first fixing block 24 to complete the assembly. Compared with existing similar devices, the calibration sealing mechanism 4 can automatically complete the calibration of the housing mechanism 2 and the leveling mechanism 3 during the assembly and fixing process of the housing mechanism 2, the leveling mechanism 3 and the calibration sealing mechanism 4. No additional equipment is required, which reduces the calibration cost, simplifies the calibration process, and reduces the calibration time. It is more suitable for low-cost industrial production of level rulers.
