Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inclinometers and relates to an automatic reversing inclinometer system. Background Technology

[0002] Inclinometers measure the tilt by measuring the angle between the object being measured and the Earth's gravity, and typically operate within a specially designed inclinometer tube. Traditional inclinometers are measured manually. Due to the instrument's measurement requirements, mechanical wear, and the combined effects of the inclinometer sensor, the zero point of the inclinometer is usually not perfectly aligned with the direction of gravity, resulting in a deviation. To eliminate this deviation, manual measurements are performed twice, forward and reverse, and the two sets of data are subtracted to eliminate the zero point. Rotating the inclinometer 180 degrees between the two measurements requires removing it from the inclinometer tube. Automated measurements also require simulating manual reversal. Current construction methods involve drilling a hole, pre-installing the inclinometer tube in the hole, and then setting a steel pipe on the ground. A rotating cylinder and a follower cylinder are placed inside the steel pipe. The inclinometer enters the hole through the steel pipe and moves up and down within the inclinometer tube via guide wheels. This structure results in protruding steel pipes on the ground surface, posing a safety hazard to users and affecting the overall integrity of the construction site. Summary of the Invention

[0003] 1. The technical problem to be solved:

[0004] The existing inclinometer system requires the inclinometer to be removed from the inclinometer tube when rotating 180 degrees for both forward and reverse measurements, and steel pipes need to be installed on the ground during construction.

[0005] 2. Technical Solution:

[0006] To address the above problems, this utility model provides an automatic reversing inclinometer system, including an inclinometer rod with a lifting rope at its top and the other end of the lifting rope connected to a power system. It includes an orifice ring flush with the ground, with multiple vertically arranged steel bars evenly distributed along its edge. A second limiting ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of each steel bar, and a first limiting ring is fixedly connected to the steel bar below the orifice ring. A rotating cylinder with an automatic reversing structure and a guide cylinder located below the rotating cylinder are positioned within the space enclosed by the steel bars, contacting but not connecting to them. The automatic reversing structure converts linear motion into a 180-degree rotation. The system also includes an inclinometer tube with first inclinometer grooves, the same number as the steel bars, between the orifice ring and the second limiting ring. Each first inclinometer groove matches the shape of a steel bar, allowing the steel bar to slide up and down within the first inclinometer groove. Below the second limiting ring, the inclinometer tube has an inclinometer wheel track groove matching the inclinometer rod wheel, allowing the inclinometer rod wheel to slide up and down within the inclinometer wheel track groove.

[0007] The rotating cylinder contacts but is not connected to the reinforcing steel. The outer wall of the rotating cylinder is engraved with two types of guide grooves: two vertical guide grooves and two spiral guide grooves. The two vertical guide grooves are distributed at 180 degrees opposite each other. The first spiral guide groove and the second spiral guide groove are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the two vertical guide grooves. The top of the vertical guide groove is provided with an upper limit point of the guide post, and the bottom is provided with a lower limit point of the guide post. The upper part of the rotating cylinder is provided with two guide posts distributed at 180 degrees opposite each other. The guide posts can slide in the vertical guide grooves and spiral guide grooves on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder.

[0008] The rotating cylinder is fixed on the reinforcing bar. The automatic reversing structure is as follows: the inner wall of the rotating cylinder is provided with two spiral guide grooves. The two vertical guide grooves are distributed in opposite directions at 180 degrees. The first spiral guide groove and the second spiral guide groove are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the two vertical guide grooves.

[0009] There are 4 steel bars.

[0010] The guide cylinder has parallel slots, the width of which is slightly larger than the thickness of the inclinometer wheel.

[0011] The inclinometer rod has a lifting wheel between the two inclinometer rod wheels, and the inclinometer tube below the second limiting ring has a lifting wheel through a wide groove that matches the lifting wheel.

[0012] A counterweight is installed above the rotating cylinder.

[0013] Magnets with opposite polarities are provided below the guide cylinder and above the inclinometer rod.

[0014] The diameter of the inclinometer tube below the second limiting ring is smaller than the diameter of the inclinometer tube above the second limiting ring. The second limiting ring has two identical inclined surfaces at the same position as the track groove of the inclinometer rod wheel. The distance between the bottom ends of the inclined surfaces is connected to the inclinometer tube below the second limiting ring.

[0015] The power system is an electric motor or a fuel engine, which only provides upward traction force to lift the inclinometer rod upward.

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention eliminates the need for steel pipes on the ground. Due to the presence of reinforcing bars, the inclinometer system can be directly inserted into the hole and flush with the ground. Furthermore, this invention can automatically change direction, improving the efficiency of inclinometer measurement. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic reversing inclinometer system includes an inclinometer rod 7, a lifting rope 6 above the inclinometer rod 7, the other end of the lifting rope 6 being connected to a power system, an orifice ring 1 flush with the ground, multiple vertically arranged steel bars 4 evenly distributed along the edge of the orifice ring 1, a second limiting ring fixedly connected to the bottom of each steel bar 4, and a first limiting ring 5 fixedly connected to the steel bar 4 below the orifice ring 1. A rotating cylinder 2 with an automatic reversing structure and a guide cylinder 3 located below the rotating cylinder 2 are arranged within the multiple steel bars 4. Within the space, it contacts but does not connect with the reinforcing bar 4. The automatic reversing structure converts linear motion into a 180-degree rotation. It also includes a clinometer tube. The clinometer tube has the same number of first clinometer grooves as the reinforcing bar 4 between the orifice ring 1 and the second limiting ring. The shape of each first clinometer groove matches the shape of the reinforcing bar 4. The reinforcing bar 4 can slide up and down in the first clinometer groove. The clinometer tube has a clinometer rod wheel track groove 9 below the second limiting ring that matches the clinometer rod wheel 71. The clinometer rod wheel 71 can slide up and down in the clinometer rod wheel track groove 9.

[0026] Because of the first inclinometer groove that matches the reinforcing bar 4 and the inclinometer tube, it is very convenient to insert the inclinometer into the inclinometer tube. The orifice ring 1 is flush with the ground, so there is no need to set up a steel pipe on the ground.

[0027] The inclinometer rod 7 reaches the test location under the action of gravity. After the measurement is completed, it moves upward along the track groove 9 of the inclinometer rod wheel by the lifting rope 6. Due to the limitation of the track groove 9, the inclinometer rod 7 cannot rotate. When one inclinometer rod wheel 71 is in the rotating cylinder 2 and the other is in the guide cylinder 3, the inclinometer rod 7 can rotate. Through the automatic reversing structure on the rotating cylinder 2, it completes a 180-degree rotation, cuts off the power, and the inclinometer rod 7 returns to the test point under the action of gravity to measure again.

[0028] This invention performs two measurements, forward and reverse, without requiring the inclinometer to be removed from the inclinometer tube, thus improving measurement efficiency.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2 is engraved with two types of guide grooves: two vertical guide grooves 11 and two spiral guide grooves. The two vertical guide grooves 11 are distributed in opposite directions at 180 degrees. The first spiral guide groove 12 and the second spiral guide groove 13 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the two vertical guide grooves. The top of the vertical guide groove is provided with an upper limit point 14 of the guide post, and the bottom is provided with a lower limit point 15 of the guide post. The upper part of the rotating cylinder 2 is provided with two guide posts distributed in opposite directions at 180 degrees. The guide posts can slide in the vertical guide grooves 11 and spiral guide grooves on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2.

[0030] When the first and second guide posts are at the upper limit point 14, the rotating cylinder 2 can only move along the first spiral guide groove 12 when it moves upward. When it reaches the lower limit point 15, the rotating cylinder 2 completes a 180-degree rotation, thereby driving the inclinometer rod 7 inside to also complete a 180-degree reversal. Conversely, when the first and second guide posts are at the lower limit point 15, the rotating cylinder 2 can only move along the vertical guide groove 11 when it moves downward, and the rotating cylinder 2 can only move downward and cannot rotate. That is to say, each up-and-down reciprocating movement of the rotating cylinder 2 will drive the inclinometer rod 7 to rotate 180 degrees to complete the reversal.

[0031] In one embodiment, the automatic steering structure has another structure, specifically: the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 2 is provided with two spiral guide grooves, the two vertical guide grooves 11 are distributed at 180 degrees opposite each other, and the first spiral guide groove 12 and the second spiral guide groove 13 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the two vertical guide grooves 11.

[0032] The rotating cylinder 2 has two guide grooves engraved on the inner wall of the tube. The rotating cylinder 2 is fixed and the inclinometer rod 7 rises in a spiral within the guide groove to complete the 180-degree reversal.

[0033] In one embodiment, there are four steel bars 4.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the guide cylinder 3 is provided with parallel slots 31, the width of which is slightly larger than the thickness of the inclinometer wheel 71.

[0035] When the inclinometer wheel 71 below the inclinometer rod 7 enters the slot 31, the inclinometer rod 7 can rotate with the guide cylinder 3, and in conjunction with the automatic reversing structure in the rotating cylinder 2, complete a 180-degree rotation.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a lifting wheel 72 is provided between the two inclinometer wheels 71 on the inclinometer rod 7. A lifting wheel with a matching lifting wheel 72 is provided on the inclinometer tube below the second limiting ring, through a wide groove 8, as shown. Figure 4 As shown.

[0037] The inclinometer 7 is lifted from below and passes through the follower cylinder 3. When the lifting wheel 72 reaches the lower edge of the rotating cylinder 2, the rotating cylinder 2 is forced to rise along with the inclinometer 7 because the lifting wheel 7 cannot pass through the rotating cylinder 2.

[0038] Because the inclinometer rod 7 sometimes gets stuck and doesn't move downwards after completing a 180-degree turn due to gravity, it is affected by gravity. In one embodiment, a counterweight is provided above the rotating cylinder 2. In another embodiment, magnets of opposite polarity are provided below the guide cylinder 3 and above the inclinometer rod 7. These two embodiments effectively solve this problem.

[0039] In one embodiment, the diameter of the inclinometer tube below the second limiting ring is smaller than the diameter of the inclinometer tube above the second limiting ring. In order to allow the inclinometer wheel 71 to smoothly enter the guide cylinder 3, two identical inclined surfaces are provided at the same position as the inclinometer wheel track groove 9 on the second limiting ring. The distance between the bottom ends of the inclined surfaces is connected to the inclinometer tube below the second limiting ring.

[0040] The power system simply provides upward traction force, whether it's an electric motor, a combustion engine, or something else.
