Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe diameter testing technology, specifically a PE pipe diameter testing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] PE pipes are widely used in many fields due to their good corrosion resistance, flexibility and high strength. Pipe diameter is one of the core parameters of PE pipes, which directly determines the fluid transport capacity of the pipeline. A suitable pipe diameter can ensure that fluids (such as water, gas, etc.) flow stably in the pipeline at the designed flow rate.

[0003] Traditional testing equipment is mostly bulky and complex, requiring professional operators to operate it in specific environments. This not only limits the flexibility of testing but also results in high testing costs. Existing testing institutions struggle to achieve simultaneous and rapid measurement of pipe diameter and thickness, failing to meet the demands of modern production and construction for efficient testing. Therefore, we propose a PE pipe diameter testing mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a PE pipe diameter detection mechanism, including a U-shaped plate, the longitudinal section of which is U-shaped, a threaded rod threadedly connected to the upper end of the U-shaped plate, the bottom end of which penetrates the upper side wall of the U-shaped plate, a clamping plate connected to the bottom end of which is connected to the clamping plate through a bearing, an L-shaped groove provided on the side end of the U-shaped plate, a measuring component provided in the groove, and a scale number provided on the side surface of the U-shaped plate.

[0005] Preferably, the measuring component includes a winding rotating rod, which is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the groove. One end of the winding rotating rod extends out of the side end of the U-shaped plate. A measuring rope is wound around the outer surface of the winding rotating rod, and the surface of the measuring rope is provided with scale markings.

[0006] Preferably, a protractor is fixedly installed on the side end of the U-shaped plate, a calibration line is provided on the surface of the measuring rope, and the protractor is made of transparent material.

[0007] Preferably, a counterweight is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the measuring rope, and the measuring rope is made of silicone rubber.

[0008] Preferably, two limiting plates are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the winding rod, and the two limiting plates are respectively located on both sides of the measuring rope.

[0009] Preferably, a second rotating handle is fixedly installed at one end of the winding rod, and an arc-shaped groove is formed on the outer surface of the second rotating handle.

[0010] Preferably, a throttle handle is fixedly installed at the upper end of the threaded rod, and the cross-section of the throttle handle is shaped like a cross.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model, through its unique design, directly clamps the main body onto the upper end of the pipe, using a downward-vertically measuring tape to measure the pipe diameter and thickness simultaneously. This breaks the limitation of traditional testing where pipe diameter and thickness need to be measured separately, achieving simultaneous and rapid testing of two key parameters. It eliminates the need for complex installation and debugging procedures, allowing ordinary operators to quickly learn how to operate it after simple training. The testing mechanism has a simple structure, requiring no complex electronic components or precision mechanical parts, greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment.

[0017] As shown in the figure, specific structures and devices are marked in the figure to clearly illustrate the structure of the embodiments of this utility model. However, this is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit this utility model to the specific structure, device and environment. According to specific needs, those skilled in the art can adjust or modify these devices and environments, and such adjustments or modifications are still included in the scope of the appended claims. Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a PE pipe diameter detection mechanism, including a U-shaped plate 1, the longitudinal section of the U-shaped plate 1 is U-shaped, the upper end of the U-shaped plate 1 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 2, the bottom end of the threaded rod 2 penetrates the upper side wall of the U-shaped plate 1, the bottom end of the threaded rod 2 is connected to a clamping plate 4 through a bearing, the side end of the U-shaped plate 1 is provided with an L-shaped groove 7, the groove 7 is provided with a measuring component 6, and the side end surface of the U-shaped plate 1 is provided with scale numbers.

[0020] In an optional embodiment: the measuring component 6 includes a winding rod 61, which is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the groove 7. One end of the winding rod 61 extends out of the side end of the U-shaped plate 1. A measuring rope 62 is wound around the outer surface of the winding rod 61, and the surface of the measuring rope 62 is provided with scale numbers.

[0021] It should be noted that rotating the winding rod 61 clockwise and counterclockwise can adjust the length of the measuring rope 62. The measuring rope 62 is made of transparent material, and the pipe diameter can be intuitively displayed through the scale on it, thus allowing for the measurement of different PE pipe diameters.

[0022] In an optional embodiment: a protractor 5 is fixedly installed on the side end of the U-shaped plate 1, a calibration line 66 is provided on the surface of the measuring rope 62, and the protractor 5 is made of transparent material.

[0023] It should be noted that the transparent protractor 5 will not obstruct the U-shaped plate 1 and other related components, allowing operators to observe the relative position of the protractor 5 with other structures during the measurement process. This helps to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the measurement scenario and the object being measured, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.

[0024] In an optional embodiment: a counterweight 64 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the measuring rope 62, and the measuring rope 62 is made of silicone rubber.

[0025] It should be noted that silicone rubber possesses excellent flexibility, elasticity, and transparency, allowing it to maintain stable performance under various environmental conditions and resist aging and hardening. The transparent silicone rubber rope is highly flexible and bendable, making it easy to read the pipe diameter markings. Because the silicone rubber measuring rope 62 is relatively soft, the counterweight 64 ensures that the measuring rope 62 is suspended vertically along the direction of gravity when there is no external interference, thus guaranteeing measurement accuracy. When using the measuring rope 62 for measurement, the counterweight 64 reduces the swaying and swinging of the measuring rope 62.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, two limiting plates 65 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the winding rod 61, and the two limiting plates 65 are located on both sides of the measuring rope 62.

[0027] It should be noted that the limiting plate 65 can restrict the position of the measuring rope 62 on the winding rod 61, preventing it from shifting left or right during winding or use, and ensuring that the measuring rope 62 always winds and extends along the predetermined path, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement.

[0028] In an optional embodiment: a second rotating handle 63 is fixedly installed at one end of the winding rod 61, and an arc-shaped groove is formed on the outer surface of the second rotating handle 63.

[0029] It should be noted that the arc-shaped groove increases the friction between the throttle handle 263 and the hand, allowing the operator to grip the throttle handle 263 more firmly when turning the lever, preventing hand slippage. This anti-slip effect is even more pronounced when the hands are sweaty or in a humid environment, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of operation. The arc-shaped groove also provides some support and cushioning for the hand, making the operator's hand fit the throttle handle 263 more snugly, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged operation and improving operational comfort.

[0030] In an optional embodiment: a throttle handle 3 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the threaded rod 2, and the cross-section of the throttle handle 3 is arranged in a cross shape.

[0031] It should be noted that, compared with the common round handle, the angular shape of the cross-shaped handle 3 increases the friction with the hand, reducing the possibility of slippage between the hand and the handle during rotation. Especially when the hands are sweaty or in some harsh operating environments, this design can better ensure the stability and reliability of operation, ensuring that the user can effectively control the rotation of the threaded rod 2.

[0032] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] In use, the U-shaped plate 1 is clamped onto the upper end of the PE pipe, with the side wall of the U-shaped plate 1 fitting against one end of the PE pipe's side wall. By comparing the protractor 5 with the calibration line 66 set on the surface of the measuring rope 62, it can be determined whether the U-shaped plate 1 is clamped directly above the PE pipe. If not, the position of the U-shaped plate 1 is adjusted left and right along the PE pipe wall to ensure that the measuring rope 62 is set vertically downward. Then, by rotating the threaded rod 2 clockwise and counterclockwise, its position can be adjusted up and down, thereby changing the position of the clamping plate 4, so that the clamping plate 4 presses against the upper end of the PE pipe. The pipe thickness can be determined by the graduations marked on the side of the U-shaped plate 1. The length of the measuring rope 62 can be adjusted by rotating the winding rod 61 clockwise and counterclockwise. The measuring rope 62 is made of transparent material, and the pipe diameter can be clearly displayed through the scale on it, thus measuring the pipe diameter of different PE pipes. The overall structure is very small, easy to carry, and simple to operate. After the measurement is completed, the measuring rope 62 can be wound up by rotating the winding rod 61 in the opposite direction. The limiting plates 65 set on both sides of the measuring rope 62 play a limiting and guiding role when the measuring rope 62 is wound up, so that it is wound vertically and will not bend. The winding rod 61 can be kept stationary after rotation by friction or existing limiting locks.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
