Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of architectural design technology, specifically a distance measuring device for architectural design. Background Technology

[0002] According to patent authorization announcement number CN221173359U, a distance measuring device for architectural design is disclosed. This utility model relates to the field of architectural design technology, and its key technical points are: it includes a U-shaped plate, an angle adjustment mechanism, and a retraction mechanism. A storage box is provided above the U-shaped plate; the angle adjustment mechanism is located inside the U-shaped plate and includes a rotating rod, a circular block, a hand lever, and an indicator needle. The front and rear inner walls of the U-shaped plate are rotatably connected to both ends of the rotating rod, and one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the rear side of the circular block. An indicator needle and a hand lever are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the circular block; the retraction mechanism is located inside the storage box and includes a threaded rod and an L-shaped mounting plate. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to one side of the storage box, and one end of the threaded rod extends into the interior of the storage box and is rotatably connected to one side of the L-shaped mounting plate. This allows for precise adjustment of the pitch angle of the distance measuring device, minimizing measurement errors.

[0003] However, existing technologies have the following problems: In practical applications, when a user slides the rangefinder out of the storage box to perform measurements, the box's structure inevitably obstructs the rear of the rangefinder. Some models place key operation buttons such as mode switching, accuracy adjustment, and data clearing on the rear for functional layout. This results in the user's view being blocked by the storage box when operating these buttons, and the finger operation space is also extremely limited, making it difficult to press the buttons accurately. Users may even need to constantly adjust the rangefinder angle or twist their wrists. The operation process is cumbersome and prone to accidental touches. Moreover, in some time-sensitive work environments, such as rapid measurement at construction sites or urgent surveying tasks, this inconvenience greatly prolongs the measurement preparation time, affects the work progress, and leads to prolonged operation under restricted conditions. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5A distance measuring device for architectural design includes a support rod 1, an angle adjusting component 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 1, a mounting plate 3 fixedly connected to the top of the angle adjusting component 2, a distance measuring instrument 4 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 3, a protective cover 5 provided on the top of the distance measuring instrument 4, the left side of the protective cover 5 being movably connected to the left side of the mounting plate 3, and a slot 6 being provided at the bottom of the right side of the inner wall of the protective cover 5, with a fixing mechanism 7 provided in the slot 6.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 The fixing mechanism 7 includes a clamping plate 71 located inside the clamping slot 6. The bottom of the clamping plate 71 extends to the bottom of the mounting plate 3. A pull plate 72 is fixedly connected to the left side of the clamping plate 71, located at the bottom of the mounting plate 3. A round rod 73 is provided inside the clamping plate 71, and the surface of the round rod 73 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 3. A spring 74 is fixedly connected to the left side of the clamping plate 71, located on the surface of the round rod 73.

[0024] Furthermore, the pull plate 72 allows operators to easily control the movement of the card plate 71, enabling the protective cover 5 to be unlocked quickly.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 A positioning block 8 is provided inside the pull plate 72, and the top of the positioning block 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 3.

[0026] Furthermore, the positioning block 8 prevents the card plate 71 from being pulled out excessively, ensuring that the card plate 71 always maintains an effective mating relationship with the card slot 6.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 The spring 74 is provided with limit rods 9 at both the top and bottom. The surface of the limit rods 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 3, and the clamping plate 71 is slidably connected to the surface of the limit rods 9.

[0028] Furthermore, the setting of the limiting rod 9 can prevent the card plate 71 from shifting or tilting during the sliding process, ensuring the precise docking of the card plate 71 and the card slot 6; the sliding of the card plate 71 on the surface of the limiting rod 9 enhances the stability of the operation of the fixing mechanism 7, reduces the wear caused by the shaking of the card plate 71, extends the service life of the fixing mechanism 7, and improves the reliability of the overall device.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 A friction strip 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the pull plate 72, and the friction strip 10 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 3.

[0030] Furthermore, the friction strip 10 prevents the card plate 71 from shifting or tilting during sliding, ensuring precise docking between the card plate 71 and the card slot 6. The sliding of the card plate 71 on the surface of the limit rod 9 enhances the stability of the fixing mechanism 7, reduces wear caused by the shaking of the card plate 71, extends the service life of the fixing mechanism 7, and improves the overall reliability of the device.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-5 A limiting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective cover 5, and the limiting frame 11 is located on the top of the rangefinder 4.

[0032] Furthermore, by setting the limiting bracket 11, the rangefinder 4 can be prevented from shaking inside when the protective cover 5 is closed, thus avoiding damage to the equipment due to collision. At the same time, the limiting bracket 11 can help fix the position of the rangefinder 4, so that the protective cover 5 and the rangefinder 4 fit better, enhance the protective effect of the protective cover 5, and provide more reliable protection for the rangefinder 4.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-5 Support bars 12 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the mounting plate 3, and the surface of the support bars 12 is in contact with the front and rear sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the protective cover 5.

[0034] Furthermore, the support bar 12 can contact the bottom of the inner wall of the protective cover 5 when the protective cover 5 is closed, thus supporting the protective cover 5, distributing the pressure of the protective cover 5 on the rangefinder 4, and preventing the protective cover 5 from directly squeezing the rangefinder 4. At the same time, the support bar 12 can help adjust the position of the protective cover 5, making it more flat and stable after closing, further improving the protective performance of the protective cover 5 and the structural stability of the overall device.

[0035] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, the protective cover 5 in the figure shows the state of protecting the rangefinder 4. When it is necessary to expose the rangefinder 4, push the pull plate 72 to move to the left. The pull plate 72 drives the locking plate 71 to move to the left. The locking plate 71 compresses the spring 74, and the locking plate 71 separates from the locking groove 6. The locking groove 6 and the right side of the protective cover 5 are no longer fixed. Flip the protective cover 5, and the protective cover 5 is removed from the top of the rangefinder 4. The rangefinder 4 can then be exposed for use. Since the rangefinder 4 is exposed on all sides, the buttons on the surface of the rangefinder 4 can be operated quickly.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
