Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of angle measurement technology, and in particular to an inclination measuring device for geological exploration. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of geological exploration, accurately measuring the dip angle of geological bodies is crucial for understanding stratigraphic structure, analyzing geological formations, and assessing geological stability. From early simple manual estimations to today's measurements using various specialized instruments, technology has continuously evolved. As geological exploration work increasingly tackles complex terrain and demands higher precision, higher standards are being placed on the performance and functionality of dip angle measuring devices. A device is needed that can stably and accurately measure dip angles in various environments, and is also portable and easy to operate.
[0003] Currently, in geological exploration dip measurement, some existing technologies employ relatively basic optical or mechanical measurement principles. For example, some devices utilize a level-like structure, observing the position of the bubble to determine the horizontal state of the measurement surface, and then using a simple angle scale to read the dip angle value; others use a suspended weight to determine the dip angle based on the angle between the weight's vertical line and the measurement surface. These methods typically have relatively simple mechanical structures and rely mainly on basic physical principles for measurement.
[0004] However, these traditional measurement methods have significant drawbacks. In actual field geological exploration, the environment is complex and changeable, and surveyors often need to operate on unstable terrain such as rugged mountain roads and steep slopes. Since the measurement process relies primarily on manual handheld devices, it is difficult for surveyors to maintain a stable grip on the instrument for extended periods. Even a slight tremor in the hand after measurement can easily lead to data inaccuracies. Such inaccuracies can affect subsequent geological analysis and research, potentially causing errors in the assessment of geological structures, and consequently impacting the accuracy of crucial tasks such as geological hazard assessment and mineral resource exploration, thus hindering the smooth progress of geological exploration. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a tilt measuring device for geological exploration, which aims to improve the problem that in traditional measurement, the unstable hand grip causes deviations in the measurement data if the hand loosens slightly after the measurement is completed.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tilt measuring device for geological exploration, comprising a storage box, wherein a storage component is provided on the outer wall of the storage box and a fixing component is provided on the inner wall of the storage box;
[0007] The fixing assembly includes a clamping plate, which is disposed on the inner wall of the storage box. A rotating column is rotatably connected to the lower side of the storage box. Torsion springs are provided at both ends of the rotating column. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod. A guide column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate. A handwheel is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the storage component includes a second storage box, which is disposed on the outer wall of the first storage box. A pivot is disposed on the inner wall of the second storage box. A first measuring ruler is disposed inside the second storage box. Multiple second measuring rulers are disposed inside the first measuring ruler. The thickness of the multiple second measuring rulers gradually decreases from the outside to the inside. The multiple second measuring rulers are slidably connected to each other. A fixing buckle is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the first storage box. A handle is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the second storage box. A fixing ring is disposed on the outer wall of the handle.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the fixing ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing buckle, and the fixing buckle and the fixing ring are used to fix the storage box one and the storage box two.
[0010] Furthermore, one side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box, and the rotating shaft is used to drive the storage box to rotate.
[0011] Furthermore, the measuring ruler one is used to store or unfold multiple measuring rulers two.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate, and the threaded rod is used to drive the clamping plate to slide.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the guide post is disposed on the inner wall of the rotating rod, and the guide post is used to guide the movement of the clamping plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer wall of the clamping plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod, and the clamping plate and the clamping plate cooperate to fix the measuring ruler and the measuring ruler.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, the measuring ruler is first unfolded from the measuring ruler and placed on the geological surface. The handwheel is turned to drive the threaded rod, so that the clamping plate fixes the measuring ruler and the measurement operation is completed. This solves the problem that in traditional measurement, the hand is unstable and the measurement data will be deviated if the hand is slightly loose after the measurement is completed. This achieves the purpose of improving the accuracy of the measurement data, providing reliable data support for geological exploration, and helping to improve the accuracy of subsequent geological analysis and research.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, the measuring ruler is stored inside the measuring ruler, and the storage box is rotated to connect with another storage box. It is then fixed with a fixing buckle and a fixing ring to achieve the storage of the device. This achieves the effect of compact storage of the device, reducing the overall volume, making it convenient to carry and store, improving the practicality and service life of the device, and making geological exploration work more efficient and convenient.

[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] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a tilt measuring device for geological exploration, including a storage box 1. The outer wall of the storage box 1 is provided with a storage component for storing the entire component for easy carrying. The inner wall of the storage box 1 is provided with a fixing component for limiting the measuring ruler 6.
[0026] The fixing assembly includes a clamping plate 13, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod 9. Driven by the threaded rod 15, it slides along the guide post 14 and cooperates with a clamping plate 16 to clamp and fix the measuring scales 6 and 7, preventing them from shaking during measurement and ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data. The clamping plate 13 is located on the inner wall of the storage box 1. A rotating post 10 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the storage box 1. Torsion springs 11 are installed at both ends of the rotating post 10. During rotation, the rotating post 10 is stretched or compressed, storing elastic potential energy. When the external force disappears, the elastic potential energy of the torsion springs 11 is released, allowing the rotating post 10 to return to its initial position, facilitating storage and future use. The rotating rod 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating post 10, and a threaded rod 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod 9. The clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 9. The guide post 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate 13, and a handwheel 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 15.
[0027] Specifically, in use, first unfold the measuring ruler 7 inside the measuring ruler 6 and place it on the geological surface to be measured. The rotating column 10 inside the storage box 1 rotates, stretching the torsion spring 11 and driving the rotating rod 9 to rotate. After moving to the appropriate position, turn the handwheel 12 to drive the threaded rod 15 to rotate, which in turn causes the clamping plate 13 to slide under the guidance of the guide column 14. The clamping plate 13 and the clamping plate 2 16 cooperate to fix the measuring ruler 6 and the measuring ruler 7, completing the measurement.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The storage assembly includes a second storage box 2, which is located on the outer wall of the first storage box 1. A pivot 8 is located on the inner wall of the second storage box 2. A measuring ruler 6 is located inside the second storage box 2, and multiple measuring rulers 7 are located inside the first measuring ruler 6. The thickness of the multiple measuring rulers 7 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside, and they are all slidably connected to each other. A fixing buckle 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the first storage box 1, and a handle 5 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the second storage box 2. A fixing ring 4 is located on the outer wall of the handle 5, and its inner wall is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing buckle 3, fixing it to one side of the outer wall of the first storage box 1. It works in conjunction with the fixing ring 4 to secure the first storage box 1 and the second storage box 2 together, ensuring... The stability of the device in the stored state is ensured by the following: the fixing buckle 3 and the fixing ring 4 are used to fix the storage box 1 and the storage box 2; one side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 1; the rotating shaft 8 is used to drive the storage box 1 to rotate; the measuring ruler 6 is used to store or unfold multiple measuring rulers 7; the outer wall of the threaded rod 15 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate 13; the threaded rod 15 is used to drive the clamping plate 13 to slide; the outer wall of the guide post 14 is set on the inner wall of the rotating rod 9; the guide post 14 is used to guide the movement of the clamping plate 13; the outer wall of the clamping plate 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod 9; the clamping plate 13 and the clamping plate 2 16 cooperate to fix the measuring ruler 6 and the measuring ruler 7.
[0029] Specifically, after the measurement is completed, multiple measuring rulers 2 7 are stored inside measuring ruler 1 6. Storage box 1 rotates around the rotating shaft 8 and connects with storage box 2. Rotate handle 5 to rotate fixing ring 4 to a suitable angle and connect with fixing buckle 3, thus fixing storage box 1 and storage box 2, and realizing device storage.
[0030] Working principle: When a tilt measuring device for geological exploration is needed, the measuring ruler 7 inside measuring ruler 1 (6) is unfolded and placed on the geological surface to be measured. The measurement is then performed. The device is then rotatably connected to the storage box 1 (1) via rotating column 10. At this time, the torsion spring 11 is stretched, and rotating column 10 drives rotating rod 9 to rotate with it. When it reaches a suitable distance, handwheel 12 is turned, driving threaded rod 15 to rotate. Threaded rod 15 drives clamping plate 13 to slide. Guide column 14 guides the movement of clamping plate 13. Through the cooperation of clamping plate 13 and clamping plate 2 (16), measuring ruler 1 (6) and measuring ruler 2 (7) can be fixed, preventing data deviation caused by slight loosening of the hand after measurement.
[0031] In addition, storage box 1 can rotate around the pivot 8. Storage box 2 contains measuring ruler 6. The thickness of multiple measuring rulers 7 inside measuring ruler 6 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside and they slide against each other. Multiple measuring rulers 7 are stored inside measuring ruler 6. Then, storage box 1 is rotated to connect with storage box 2 to achieve complete storage. At this time, the fixing ring 4 is rotated by rotating handle 5. When the fixing ring 4 rotates to the moving angle, it will connect with the fixing buckle 3 to fix storage box 1 and storage box 2.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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.
