[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown in Embodiment 1, a novel connecting device for a settlement plate metal measuring rod for roadbed settlement observation includes: an upper connector 1, a hemispherical protruding observation mark 2 on the top of the upper connector for measuring and placing a leveling rod, three concave connectors 3 arranged in a circular array on the upper connector 1 in the circumferential direction, a middle metal rod 4 fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper connector 1, a lower connector 5 fixedly installed at the bottom of the middle metal rod 4, three convex connectors 6 arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the lower connector 5 in the circumferential direction, the upper connector 1 can be inserted into the lower connector 5, and the concave connectors 3 and convex connectors 6 can be locked together by clockwise rotation.
[0026] In use, the two metal probes are assembled, the upper connector 4 of one is inserted into the lower connector 5 of the other, and the two metal probes are rotated relative to each other so that the concave connector 3 is inserted into the convex connector 6, thus fixing the two probes.
[0027] The concave connector 3 gradually increases in height from the outside to the inside, and the convex connector 6 can be inserted into the concave connector 3.
[0028] The friction between the concave connectors 3, the weight of the device, and the innermost groove ensure that the connection part of the convex connector 6 does not easily slip off.
[0029] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, in Embodiment 2, the lower connector 5 at the bottom is provided with a connecting sleeve 8 on its outside. A high settlement plate 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 8. The lower connector 5 can be detachably installed inside the connecting sleeve 8. The side wall of the upper connector 4 is provided with a slot 1.1.
[0030] In actual operation, the high settlement plate 7 is placed on the ground, and the middle metal rod 4 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 8 through the lower connector 5, so that the middle metal rod 4 can be fixedly connected to the high settlement plate 7. After the connection is completed, the roadbed is laid on the ground. After the roadbed is laid, the ground is compacted. Since the middle metal rod 4 is fixedly connected to the high settlement plate 7 at this time, the middle metal rod 4 cannot rotate when the roadbed is compacted, so that the middle metal rod 4 will not move in the height direction, making the measurement results more accurate. After the first layer of roadbed is laid, the second layer of roadbed is laid.
[0031] If the height of the second roadbed is lower than that of the central metal pole 4, the second roadbed should be compacted after it is laid.
[0032] If the height of the second roadbed is higher than that of the middle metal pole 4, insert the lower connector 5 of the new middle metal pole 4 into the upper connector 4 to fix the new middle metal pole 4 to the original middle metal pole 4. After the connection is completed, lay the second roadbed. After laying, compact the second roadbed. If it is necessary to lay another roadbed after the second roadbed is laid, repeat the above steps.
[0033] The outer wall of the upper connector 4 is provided with concave connectors 3 arranged in a circular array. The side wall of the strip groove is provided with a slot 1.1. The lower connector 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom end of the middle metal rod 4. The lower connector 5 can be inserted into the slot 1.1. The lower connector 5 can slide inside the concave connector 3. The end of the lower connector 5 is provided with a convex connector 6.
[0034] When the lower connector 5 is inserted into the concave connector 3, the two middle metal rods 4 are initially fixed. When the lower connector 5 slides to the bottom of the concave connector 3, the upper middle metal rod 4 is rotated, causing the middle metal rod 4 to drive the lower connector 5 to rotate and insert into the slot 1.1, so that the two middle metal rods 4 are fixedly installed.
[0035] The connecting sleeve 8 has a plug 8.1 inside, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the high settlement plate 7. A rotating rod 8.2 is rotatably installed inside the plug 8.1. A pushing block 8.3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom end of the rotating rod 8.2. A head sliding groove 8.4 is opened on the upper part of the pushing block 8.3. The outer wall of the plug 8.1 has a strip groove 8.5 in a circular array. A slot 8.6 is opened on the side wall of the strip groove 8.5. The direction of the slot 8.6 is opposite to that of the slot 1.1. The lower connector 5 can be inserted into the slot 8.6.
[0036] When connecting the middle metal rod 4 and the high settlement plate 7, insert the middle metal rod 4 into the connecting sleeve 8, so that the lower connector 5 is first inserted into the concave connector 3, so that the middle metal rod 4 and the high settlement plate 7 are initially fixed. When the lower connector 5 reaches the bottom of the sliding groove 8.5, rotate the middle metal rod 4, so that the middle metal rod 4 drives the lower connector 5 to rotate and insert into the slot 8.6.
[0037] Then rotate the rotating rod 8.2 to fix the middle metal rod 4 to the high settlement plate 7. Since the first slot 1.1 and the second slot 8.6 are in opposite directions, when the middle metal rod 4 is rotated, the lower connector 5 is blocked by the second slot 8.6 to prevent the middle metal rod 4 from detaching from the high settlement plate 7.
[0038] A movable rod 8.7 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 8.4. An insert block 8.8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable rod 8.7. The end of the insert block 8.8 away from the movable rod 8.7 faces the slot 1.1. A through groove 8.9 is opened inside the slot 2. The insert block 8.8 is slidably installed in the through groove 8.9.
[0039] When the rotating rod 8.2 rotates, it will cause the sliding groove 8.4 to rotate. When the sliding groove 8.4 rotates, the insertion block 8.8 is blocked by the side wall of the through groove 8.9, so that the rotation of the sliding groove 8.4 can drive the moving rod 8.7 to move and drive the insertion block 8.8 to insert into the convex connector 6, so that the central metal rod 4 and the high settlement plate 7 are fixedly installed.
[0040] A connecting rod 4.1 is rotatably mounted inside the central metal rod 4. A connecting block 4.2 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the connecting rod 4.1. A connector 4.3 is fixedly mounted at the top end of the connecting rod 4.1 and the top end of the rotating rod 8.2. A connecting groove 4.4 is provided on the outer wall of the connector 4.3, and the connecting block 4.2 can be inserted into the connecting groove 4.4.
[0041] When connecting the middle metal rod 4 and the high settlement plate 7, the connecting block 4.2 is inserted into the connecting groove 4.4 to stabilize and fix the connecting rod 4.1 and the high settlement plate 7, prevent the connecting rod 4.1 from rotating, and maintain the connection between the middle metal rod 4 and the high settlement plate 7.
[0042] A blocking block 4.5 is slidably installed inside the connector 4.3. A movable sleeve 4.6 is provided at the bottom end of the blocking block 4.5. The bottom surface of the blocking block 4.5 contacts the top surface of the movable sleeve 4.6. A spring 4.7 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the movable sleeve 4.6. The end of the spring 4.7 away from the movable sleeve 4.6 is fixedly installed inside the upper connector 4.
[0043] When the connecting rod 4.1 is connected to the high settlement plate 7, the connecting block 4.2 is inserted into the connecting groove 4.4, causing the blocking block 4.5 to move downward and drive the moving sleeve 4.6 to move upward, compressing the spring 4.7, so that the top of the blocking block 4.5 is lower than the bottom of the connector 4.3. At this time, the blocking block 4.5 will not block the connector 4.3, allowing the connector 4.3 to rotate and drive the rotating rod 8.2 to rotate.
[0044] A limiting rod 4.8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the blocking block 4.5. A strip groove 1.2 is opened inside the upper connector 4. An L-shaped groove 1.3 is opened on the side of the strip groove 1.2. The limiting rod 4.8 is slidably installed inside the strip groove 1.2.
[0045] When rotating the connector 4.3, the blocking block 4.5 of the upper central metal rod 4 is pressed down, so that the outer wall of the blocking block 4.5 coincides with the outer wall of the connector 4.3. At this time, the limiting rod 4.8 is located at the connection between the strip groove 1.2 and the L-shaped groove 1.3. Then, the connector 4.3 is rotated so that the connector 4.3 can drive the connecting rod 4.1 to rotate, and drive the rotating rod 8.2 to rotate. After the rotation is completed, the rotating head is released. At this time, the spring 4.7 returns to its original position and drives the moving sleeve 4.6 to move upward, and drives the blocking block 4.5 to move upward, so that the limiting rod 4.8 is located at the end of the L-shaped groove 1.3, so that the connector 4.3 completes the fixed connection.
[0046] A rotating ring 1.4 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting rod 4.1. The top surface of the rotating ring 1.4 contacts the inner wall of the top of the middle metal rod 4. A sliding groove 1.5 is provided on the rotating ring 1.4. A blocking rod 4.9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the middle metal rod 4. The blocking rod 4.9 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 1.5.
[0047] The swivel 1.4 can limit the rotation angle of the connecting rod 4.1, so that when controlling the connector 4.3 at the highest point, the rotation of the swivel 1.4 can be used to determine whether it is locked into the designated position. When connecting the two middle metal rods 4, the connector 4.3 is rotated first, and after being rotated to the designated position, the connector 4.3 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the two middle metal rods 4 are fixedly installed.
[0048] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the above description. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the scope of this utility model.
