Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of broken scrap steel pile specific gravity detection, and relates to a broken scrap steel pile specific gravity measuring tool. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the detection process of the specific gravity of the broken scrap steel pile, the existing technology usually uses a 300mm*300mm*200mm iron sheet box as a sample box. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0003] 1. Fill the broken scrap steel: fill the sample box with broken scrap steel.

[0004] 2. Artificially flatten: the operator needs to manually flatten the broken scrap steel in the sample box to ensure the uniformity of the sample.

[0005] 3. Weighing: manually lift the filled and flattened sample box to the platform scale for weighing.

[0006] 4. Photograph and archive: during the weighing process, the operator needs to use a special mobile phone to take pictures of the flattening and weighing conditions for archiving, in order to facilitate subsequent tracing and verification.

[0007] However, the existing technology has the following problems and shortcomings:

[0008] 1. It is difficult to control the angle and distance of the photograph: when the operator takes pictures, it is difficult to ensure that the angle, distance and focus of each photograph are consistent. This leads to the fact that the archived photos cannot accurately record the filling condition of the sample box, affecting the accuracy and traceability of the broken scrap steel pile specific gravity detection.

[0009] 2. High labor intensity: the sampling site is usually a certain distance away from the platform scale, and the weight of the sample box filled with samples is about 30kg, so the manual handling workload is large, increasing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0010] 3. Low efficiency: due to the need for multiple manual operations (flattening, carrying, photographing, etc.), the efficiency of the entire detection process is low, which is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0011] In summary, the existing broken scrap steel pile specific gravity detection method has obvious shortcomings in accuracy, labor intensity and efficiency, and a new technical solution is needed to solve these problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0012] Therefore, the utility model aims to provide a broken scrap steel pile specific gravity measuring tool to solve the existing problems.

[0013] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a broken scrap heap specific gravity measuring tool, including base and box assembly setting on the base, the base bottom is provided with universal wheel assembly, one side of box assembly is provided with handle support assembly, and the other side is provided with mobile phone support assembly at the opposite place of handle support assembly, the mobile phone support assembly includes the regulator rotatably arranged on the box assembly and the fixed mobile phone support installed in the middle of the regulator, is used for fixing the photographing mobile phone, and the interval of fixed mobile phone and sample box is determined simultaneously.

[0014] Optionally, the base is made of 30mm angle steel, and the size is 310mm*310mm, and a reinforcing cross bar is welded in the middle of the base.

[0015] Optionally, the handle support assembly includes the fixed frame fixed to the two side edges of the box assembly, a plurality of through holes are formed in the ends away from the box assembly of the two fixed frames, and the handle assembly is installed in the through holes through fasteners.

[0016] Optionally, the regulator is connected with the fixed frame of the handle support and the box assembly through the positioning ring, a plurality of positioning holes are formed in the fixed frame and the box assembly, and the positioning holes are inserted into the positioning pins to lock the mobile phone support assembly when the regulator is rotated to the corresponding angle around the positioning ring.

[0017] Optionally, the fixed mobile phone support is connected with the regulator through the universal shaft, and is used for adjusting the direction.

[0018] Optionally, the fixed frame is fixedly installed with the box assembly through bolts, nuts and washers.

[0019] Optionally, the universal wheel assembly includes four universal wheels arranged at the lower part of the base.

[0020] The utility model has the advantages that:

[0021] The broken scrap heap specific gravity measuring tool provided by the utility model provides a set of efficient and accurate solution for the bulk material density detection field through systematic structural innovation and function integration. The core design is based on the cooperative working mechanism of the adjustable rod and the fixed mobile phone support, and the accurate regulation of the photographing angle and the shooting distance is realized through the cooperation of the mechanical locking device and the multi-angle positioning mechanism. This design effectively eliminates the problems of visual angle deviation and unstable focal length in traditional manual operation, ensures the high uniformity of the perspective ratio and the space scale of each batch of detection images, and lays a reliable data foundation for subsequent specific gravity calculation.

[0022] The optimized mobility and operability of the tool are reflected in the innovative combination of a four-wheeled movable base and an ergonomic handle. The omnidirectional caster system allows the equipment to maneuver flexibly in complex environments, while the textured, curved handle design reduces physical exertion during long-distance pushing and enhances operational stability. The base frame, through optimized mechanical design, achieves lightweight improvements while maintaining load-bearing strength, enabling a single person to transport and position the entire set of equipment, significantly improving on-site operational mobility.

[0023] Modular architecture is another major technological highlight of this tool. Each functional unit adopts a standardized interface design, supporting rapid disassembly and component replacement. Examples include replaceable volume detection chambers and clamping devices compatible with multiple smart terminal models. This not only meets the specific needs of current crushed scrap steel detection but also reserves expansion space for future upgrades to advanced functions such as intelligent sensors and automatic positioning systems. This forward-looking design allows the tool to adapt to the detection needs of different scenarios, enabling multi-level applications from basic detection to data integration and analysis simply by adding or removing functional modules.

[0024] By integrating key processes such as sample loading, transportation, weighing, and archiving, this tool establishes a standardized operating system for the entire process. During testing, operators only need to follow preset procedures to complete steps such as sample box loading, fixed-point photography, and data entry. The system automatically generates testing archives with timestamps and spatial coordinates, significantly reducing the risk of human error. This integrated solution not only increases the efficiency of a single test several times over but also achieves traceability of test results through standardized processes, providing strong technical support for quality control. Its design concept and technical approach have promotional value in fields such as metallurgical waste recycling, mining raw material testing, and building aggregate analysis, providing a new technical paradigm for the density testing of bulk materials.

[0025] In summary, this utility model significantly improves the accuracy, efficiency, and traceability of specific gravity detection of crushed scrap steel piles through improvements such as fixing the shooting distance and angle, reducing labor intensity, and simplifying the operation process. It has broad application prospects and practical value.

It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following examples only illustrate the basic concept of the present application in a schematic manner, and the following examples and features in the examples can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] The drawings are only used for illustrative description, and the representation is only a schematic diagram, not a physical diagram, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application. In order to better illustrate the embodiments of the present application, some components of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the actual product size. It is understandable for those skilled in the art that some known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Please refer to Figs. 1-3The application relates to a kind of broken scrap heap specific gravity measuring tools, which mainly comprises a base (not separately marked in the figure, but is made of 30mm angle steel of 310mm*310mm, and is welded with reinforcing crosspieces), a box assembly 2 arranged on the base, and a universal wheel assembly 7 arranged at the bottom of the base for easy movement.

[0036] Specific embodiment 1,

[0037] Specifically, a handle support assembly 1 is arranged on one side of the box assembly 2 to provide a gripping point for the operator when moving the measuring tool. The handle support assembly 1 comprises fixed frames (not separately marked in the figure, but connected to the box assembly 2 as part of the handle support assembly 1) fixed on both sides of the box assembly 2, and a plurality of through holes are formed in the fixed frames at the end away from the box assembly 2. A handle assembly 4 is installed between the through holes by fasteners (such as a combination of a bolt 9, a nut 10 and a washer 11), which facilitates the operator to hold and push the entire measuring tool.

[0038] On the other side opposite to the handle support assembly 1, a mobile phone support assembly 3 is arranged on the box assembly 2. The mobile phone support assembly 3 comprises an adjuster 6 rotatably arranged on the box assembly 2, and a fixed mobile phone support (not separately marked in the figure, but connected to the adjuster 6 as part of the mobile phone support assembly 3) installed in the middle of the adjuster 6. The adjuster 6 is connected to the fixed frame of the handle support assembly and the box assembly 2 through a positioning ring 8, and a plurality of positioning holes are formed in the fixed frame and the box assembly 2.

[0039] Specific embodiment 2,

[0040] In this embodiment, the positioning holes are provided with three positions, namely 0°, 30° and 60°, corresponding to three different shooting angles. If other angles are required, the angles can be increased or changed, and the angle of the mobile phone and the upper surface of the sample box can be accurately controlled by adjusting, so as to accurately control the shooting angle.

[0041] When the adjuster 6 is rotated to the required angle around the positioning ring 8, the position of the mobile phone support assembly 3 can be locked by inserting a positioning pin 5 into the positioning hole, so as to ensure the fixed position and angle of the shooting mobile phone. The fixed mobile phone support is further connected to the adjuster 6 through a universal shaft (not shown in the figure, but implied in the structure of the mobile phone support assembly 3), so as to further adjust the direction of the mobile phone and ensure that the best picture can be captured when shooting.

[0042] The universal wheel assembly 7 comprises four universal wheels arranged at the lower part of the base, so that the entire measuring tool can be easily moved between different positions, greatly reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0043] In use, the operator first fills the box assembly 2 with broken scrap steel and manually spreads it out to ensure uniformity of the sample. Then, the fixed phone holder is fixed on the fixed phone holder assembly 3 by adjusting the position and angle of the phone holder assembly 3, and the distance between the phone and the sample box is ensured. Then, the operator can push the entire measuring tool to the platform scale for weighing, and at the same time, the spread and weighing conditions are photographed and archived by the photographing phone. Since the position and angle of the phone holder assembly 3 are fixed, the results of each photographing are consistent and traceable.

[0044] In summary, the broken scrap steel bulk specific gravity measuring tool provided by the embodiment effectively solves the problems existing in the prior art by designing a four-wheel movable base, an adjustable phone holder assembly and the like, and improves the detection accuracy, efficiency and traceability.

[0045] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and all should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
