TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Road surface loose laying thickness refers to the material layer thickness that is not compacted after paving, and in road paving operation, loose laying thickness is an important indicator of construction quality control, which needs to be checked at any time to avoid deviation from the specified requirements. If the paving thickness is too small, it will affect the road structure strength and reduce the service life. If the paving thickness is too large, it will cause material waste and increase construction cost.
[0003] Currently, in the construction site, the traditional measurement method mainly relies on manual operation, that is, the worker directly inserts the measuring tool into the loose layer for thickness measurement. However, this seemingly simple and direct method has many defects that are difficult to overcome. Manual operation is greatly affected by subjective factors. It is difficult to ensure verticality every time when inserting the measuring tool. Inclined insertion is common. When the measuring tool is inclined or inserted on uneven road surface, the measured data deviates greatly from the actual loose laying thickness, and cannot truly reflect the accurate thickness of the loose layer. These inaccurate data will mislead the construction decision, making it difficult for the construction personnel to effectively adjust the loose laying thickness, and thus seriously affecting the road construction quality and cost control. Therefore, a loose laying thickness measuring device is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figs. 1-3 The loose thickness measuring device in this embodiment includes a fixed cylinder 1, a level detector 2 fixedly installed at the top center of the fixed cylinder 1, a support component 3 fixedly installed on the surface of the fixed cylinder 1, and a measuring mechanism 4 fixedly installed inside the fixed cylinder 1.
[0021] It should be noted that the loose layer thickness refers to the thickness of the material layer that has been laid but not compacted. In road paving operations, the loose layer thickness is an important indicator for construction quality control and needs to be checked at any time to avoid deviation from the specified requirements. If the paving thickness is too small, it will affect the strength of the road structure and reduce its service life; if the paving thickness is too large, it will cause material waste and increase construction costs. The loose layer thickness measuring device can be composed of the fixed cylinder 1, the level measuring instrument 2, the support component 3, and the measuring mechanism 4 set above.
[0022] In this embodiment, the level detector 2 is a high-precision electronic level. The high-precision electronic level is equipped with a gravity sensing element, such as a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer. The accelerometer consists of a mass block and an elastic support structure. When the level detector 2 is at different tilt angles, the mass block will exert forces of different directions and magnitudes on the elastic support structure under the action of gravity, thereby causing changes in physical quantities such as capacitance, inductance, or resistance inside the accelerometer. By detecting these changes in physical quantities and converting them into electrical signals, and then through complex circuit processing and algorithm calculations, the tilt angle of the level relative to the direction of gravity can be accurately determined, thereby determining whether the fixed cylinder 1 is in a horizontal state.
[0023] The support assembly 3 includes a fixed plate 301 fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixed cylinder 1, three support rods 302 rotatably mounted on the surface of the fixed plate 301, and a cone tip 303 fixedly mounted on the bottom of each of the three support rods 302. A movable plate 304 is threadedly connected to the surface of the fixed cylinder 1, and three connecting rods 305 are movably mounted on the surface of the movable plate 304.
[0024] Three support rods 302 are distributed in an umbrella shape on the surface of the fixed cylinder 1, and three cone tips 303 are located at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 1.
[0025] The movable plate 304 is located at the bottom of the fixed plate 301, and the ends of the three connecting rods 305 away from the movable plate 304 are all movably connected to the inner wall of the support rod 302.
[0026] In this embodiment, by rotating the movable disk 304, since the movable disk 304 is threadedly connected to the fixed cylinder 1, rotating the movable disk 304 will cause it to move up and down along the axial direction of the fixed cylinder 1. When the movable disk 304 moves downward, the three connecting rods 305 movably connected to the movable disk 304 will push the three support rods 302 to rotate outward around the connection point of the fixed disk 301. As the movable disk 304 continues to move downward, the three support rods 302 gradually unfold into an umbrella shape until the three cone tips 303 are firmly inserted into the loose layer ground, forming a stable support structure.
[0027] In this embodiment, the support component 3 can provide a large support area on the soft pavement layer, distributing the weight of the measuring device and preventing the device from sinking too deep into the pavement layer due to its own weight during the measurement process, thus affecting the measurement accuracy; and the cone tip 303 is designed to be inserted into the pavement layer more easily, enhancing the stability of the support and preventing the device from shaking or shifting during the measurement.
[0028] The measuring mechanism 4 includes an installation groove 401 inside the fixed cylinder 1. An electric push rod 402 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the installation groove 401. A moving block 403 is fixedly installed at the drive end of the electric push rod 402. A measuring rod 404 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving block 403.
[0029] The measuring rod 404 is made of high-strength alloy steel, and the bottom of the measuring rod 404 is conical.
[0030] In this embodiment, the electric push rod 402 starts working, and its drive end pushes the movable block 403, which is fixedly connected to it, to move downward along the inner wall of the mounting groove 401. Since the measuring rod 404 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable block 403, the downward movement of the movable block 403 causes the measuring rod 404 to extend downward synchronously from the fixed cylinder 1. The bottom of the measuring rod 404 is conical, which can be inserted into the loose layer relatively smoothly. As the measuring rod 404 is continuously inserted, when the bottom of the measuring rod 404 reaches the bottom of the loose layer and contacts the underlying layer, the electric push rod 402 stops running. At this time, the scale line on the surface of the measuring rod 404 is observed. The thickness value of the loose layer can be read from the scale corresponding to the position where the measuring rod 404 protrudes from the surface of the loose layer. Compared with manually inserting measuring tools, it can be inserted into the loose layer more vertically and stably, reducing the measurement error caused by human operation, thereby accurately measuring the thickness of the loose layer and providing reliable data for road construction quality control.
[0031] In summary, this loose paving thickness measuring device, through the arrangement of three umbrella-shaped support rods 302 and a bottom conical tip 303 in the support component 3, can provide a large support area in the soft loose paving layer, distribute the weight of the device, avoid sinking too deep and affecting accuracy, and enhance stability. The electric push rod 402 of the measuring mechanism 4 precisely controls the vertical and stable insertion of the high-strength alloy steel measuring rod 404 with a bottom conical shape into the loose paving layer. Compared with manual insertion, this greatly reduces measurement errors, accurately obtains the loose paving layer thickness value, and provides reliable data for road construction quality control.
