[0039] Reference Figures 1-3 The outer wall of the slide plate 17 is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting block 15, and the slide plate 17 can slide stably within the mounting block 15, providing reliable support for the position adjustment of the clamping plate 18.
[0040] Reference Figures 1-3One end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting block 15, and the other end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide groove 22, ensuring that the spring 21 can effectively store potential energy during the compression process, and can effectively push the lever 20 to reset during the release of the stored potential energy.
[0041] Working principle: When pile foundation settlement needs to be detected, the support frame 1 is placed at the location to be tested. Then, by pressing button 9 on the controller 8, the motor 7 rotates. The rotation of the motor 7 drives the gear 12 on its output end to rotate. The rotation of the gear 12 meshes with the rack plate 10, causing the rack plate 10 to slide downwards. As the rack plate 10 slides, it drives the mounting plate 13 to slide, further causing the connecting rod 14 to rotate, thereby opening the rotating rod 2. The device is then placed on a flat surface and used in conjunction with other tools to detect pile foundation settlement. Place the components to be used on the mounting block 15. Then, move the lever 20. When the lever 20 is moved, it will compress the spring 21. Then, adjust the position of the lever 20. When the position of the lever 20 is adjusted, the slide plate 17 will drive the clamping plate 18 to slide, so that the two clamping plates 18 slide relative to each other, thereby fixing the other tools on the mounting block 15. Finally, release the lever 20, and the spring 21 will release the stored potential energy, thereby pushing the lever 20 to slide, so that the lever 20 engages with the positioning groove 23, thereby fixing the slide plate 17.
