[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the verticality testing mechanism for building engineering proposed in this embodiment includes a flat measuring plate 1. Multiple ball bearings 101 are movably embedded in the left side of the flat measuring plate 1 in a rectangular shape. A transparent box 2 with an opening on the left side is fixedly connected to the right side of the flat measuring plate 1. A U-shaped handle 201 is fixedly connected to the right side of the transparent box 2. The multiple ball bearings 101 are used to directly adhere to the surface of the building being tested.

[0026] A rotating support indicator assembly is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the transparent box 2. A measuring disk 4 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rotating support indicator assembly. An angle measuring scale line 401 is provided on the front side of the measuring disk 4. A counterweight block 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the measuring disk 4. An arc-shaped clearance groove adapted to the counterweight block 402 is provided on the right side of the flat measuring plate 1. An LED lighting lamp 303 that cooperates with the measuring disk 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side and the bottom end of the rotating support indicator assembly. The counterweight block 402 is used to automatically rotate downward to vertical under its own weight when the device attached to it tilts due to the tilt of the surface of the building being measured. It also drives the measuring disk 4 to rotate adaptively. The rotating support indicator assembly is used to rotate the measuring disk 4 and to change the position of the indicator on the angle measuring scale line 401 when the measuring disk 4 rotates adaptively so that personnel can observe and judge whether it is vertical or tilted.

[0027] The right side of the transparent box 2 is fitted with a quick-release spring-loaded locking trigger assembly for automatically controlling the LED lighting 303 to turn on when the measuring disc 4 is tightened and locked or unlocked; the quick-release spring-loaded locking trigger assembly is used to conveniently unlock or lock the measuring disc 4, and is used to provide auxiliary lighting when the unlocked automatic control LED lighting 303 is turned on.

[0028] Specifically, the rotary indicator assembly includes a support rod 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the transparent box 2. A rotating shaft 301 is rotatably mounted on the rear side of the support rod 3. A circular through hole is provided at the bottom rear side of the support rod 3, and a bearing is fixedly fitted inside the circular through hole. The inner ring of the bearing is fixedly fitted to the outer side of the rotating shaft 301, which achieves the effect of rotating the rotating shaft 301. The rear end of the rotating shaft 301 is fixedly connected to the center of the front side of the measuring disk 4. Two LED lights 303 are fixedly connected to the bottom left side and the bottom end of the support rod 3, respectively. A pointer 302 that cooperates with the protractor scale line 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side and the bottom end of the support rod 3. The support rod 3, the rotating shaft 301 and the pointer 302 cooperate to rotate the measuring disk 4 through the rotating shaft 301. When the whole is tilted, the counterweight 402 drives the measuring disk 4 to rotate adaptively. When in motion, the measuring disk 4 rotates the angle scale line 401 to change its alignment with the pointer 302 below. By observing the position indicated by the pointer 302 below, personnel can clearly determine whether the building is vertical or tilted. In addition, a pointer 302 is also set on the left side. When it is necessary to measure whether the building foundation is horizontal, the ball bearing 101 can be placed downward against the surface of the building foundation. Under the weight of the counterweight block 402, it will automatically rotate to the direction close to the flat measuring plate 1 and drive the measuring disk 4 to rotate adaptively. At this time, personnel can observe the position indicated by the pointer 302 on the angle scale line 401 on the left side to determine whether the building foundation is horizontal or tilted. This achieves the effect of convenient and quick detection of the building and the building foundation separately, without mutual interference, improving applicability and flexibility of use.

[0029] Furthermore, the quick-release spring-loaded locking actuation assembly includes a rectangular box 5 embedded and fixed to the right side of the transparent box 2. The right side of the transparent box 2 has an insertion hole that is fixedly connected to the outside of the rectangular box 5. The left side of the rectangular box 5 is open. A rectangular pressure block 501 is slidably fitted inside the rectangular box 5. The left side of the rectangular pressure block 501 is an arc-shaped structure and has an arc-shaped anti-slip pad 502 that is pressed tightly against the right side of the measuring disc 4. Two compression springs 504 in a compressed state are fixedly connected between the right side of the rectangular pressure block 501 and the right inner wall of the rectangular box 5. A pull ring 503 is provided inside the U-shaped handle 201. The left side of the pull ring 503 has a horizontal part integrally provided and slides through it. Inside the rectangular box 5, a horizontal guide hole is provided on the right side for sliding and fitting with the outer side of the horizontal part of the pull ring 503, serving to allow the horizontal part of the pull ring 503 to pass through and guide its lateral sliding. A rectangular pressure block 501 is fixedly fitted onto the horizontal part of the pull ring 503, and a fitting hole is provided on the right side of the rectangular pressure block 501 for fixed connection with the outer side of the horizontal part of the pull ring 503. A spring-loaded non-locking tactile switch 505 that cooperates with the rectangular pressure block 501 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right side of the rectangular box 5. The spring-loaded non-locking tactile switch 505 is electrically connected to the LED light 303 at the bottom. A battery is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the transparent box 2. The LED light on the left side... A circuit is formed by sequentially connecting a light 303, a bottom LED light 303, a spring-loaded non-locking tactile switch 505, and a battery. Two LED lights 303 are connected in series. A rectangular box 5, a rectangular pressure block 501, an arc-shaped anti-slip pad 502, a compression spring 504, a pull ring 503, and the spring-loaded non-locking tactile switch 505 work together. Pulling the pull ring 503 to the right causes the rectangular pressure block 501 to compress the compression spring 504 to the right. The rectangular pressure block 501 causes the arc-shaped anti-slip pad 502 to separate from the measuring disc 4, releasing the locking of the measuring disc 4 and allowing it to rotate freely. When the rectangular pressure block 501 moves to the right, it also squeezes the spring-loaded non-locking tactile switch 505. Pressing the trigger activates the LED light 303, enabling convenient automatic unlocking for vertical detection and integrated automatic auxiliary lighting. Automatic lighting allows personnel to clearly determine verticality and tilt angles even in dim environments. After use, releasing the pull ring 503 causes the compressed spring 504 to move the rectangular pressure block 501 to the left, releasing the pressure on the spring-loaded unlocked tactile switch 505 and turning off the LED light 303. The leftward movement of the rectangular pressure block 501 also causes the curved anti-slip pad 502 to press and lock the measuring disc 4, preventing it from swinging freely when not in use and ensuring stable carrying during operation.

[0030] The method of use in this embodiment is as follows: When using this building verticality testing mechanism to measure the verticality of a building, multiple ball bearings 101 are directly attached to the building surface. Then, the pull ring 503 is pulled to the right, causing the rectangular pressure block 501 to compress the compression spring 504 to the right. The rectangular pressure block 501 causes the arc-shaped anti-slip pad 502 to separate from the measuring disk 4, releasing the locking of the measuring disk 4 and providing it with conditions for free rotation. When the entire device attached to it tilts due to the tilt of the building surface being measured, the counterweight 402 automatically rotates downwards to vertical under its own weight, and causes the measuring disk 4 to rotate adaptively. The measuring disk 4 causes the angle scale line 401 to rotate, changing the alignment position with the pointer 302 below. Then, the personnel can observe the pointer below. The position indicated by the pointer 302 can clearly determine whether the building is vertical or tilted. Additionally, a pointer 302 is also set on the left side. When it is necessary to measure whether the building foundation is level, the ball bearing 101 can be placed downward against the surface of the building foundation. Under the weight of the counterweight 402, it will automatically rotate to the direction close to the flat measuring plate 1 and drive the measuring disk 4 to rotate adaptively. At this time, the personnel can judge whether the building foundation is level or tilted by observing the position indicated by the pointer 302 on the angle scale line 401. This achieves the effect of convenient, quick and easy vertical detection of buildings and horizontal detection of building foundations without mutual interference. Vertical measurement does not require a relatively flat foundation to provide a support comparison base, improving applicability, flexibility and convenience.

[0031] When the pull ring 503 is pulled to drive the rectangular pressure block 501 to the right to unlock, the rectangular pressure block 501 also presses the spring-loaded unlocked tactile switch 505 to the right, causing it to control the LED lighting 303 to turn on. This achieves the effect of automatic auxiliary lighting during testing, allowing personnel to clearly judge whether the device is vertical and tilted in dim environments. When the pull ring 503 is released after use, the spring force of the compressed spring 504 causes the rectangular pressure block 501 to move back to the left, releasing the pressure on the spring-loaded unlocked tactile switch 505 and causing it to control the LED lighting 303 to turn off. When the rectangular pressure block 501 moves to the left, it causes the arc-shaped anti-slip pad 502 to press and lock the measuring disc 4, preventing it from swinging randomly when not in use and facilitating stable carrying. In addition, the ball bearing 101 reduces the friction with the surface being tested, making it easier for personnel to move the device against the surface being tested. The movable design allows personnel to observe the tilt changes during movement, facilitating mobile testing and further improving the flexibility of use.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
