It is widely used in construction engineering, earthwork engineering, and slope monitoring. In slope measurement, the slope gauge is used to measure the slope inclination to ensure project safety; it is an important component of slope measurement tools and also a crucial measuring device for construction slope setting.

[0003] A search revealed a high slope measuring device disclosed in utility model patent application CN218673635U. This device allows for measurements to be taken away from the slope edge, increasing safety during inspection and saving labor and costs, while reducing reliance on specialized inspection equipment. However, although the device can increase safety by using extended diagonal rods to keep workers away from the slope edge, it still has the following drawbacks during inspection:

[0004] 1. The operation is highly complex, requiring six preparatory actions such as calibrating the angle of the diagonal bar and fixing the multi-level locking mechanism. The operation involves too many steps and is complicated, which is not conducive to the inspection by construction personnel.

[0005] 2. The structure is relatively complex, making it inconvenient to carry under certain special working conditions, and the failure rate is relatively high;

[0006] In view of this, the present invention proposes a slope measurement tool to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a slope measurement tool to solve the problems of traditional slope measurement devices, such as complicated operation, high operational complexity, inconvenience in carrying under special working conditions, and high failure rate.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A slope measurement tool, comprising:

[0010] Positioning rod;

[0011] The measuring component is hinged to one end of the positioning rod, including a first measuring rod hinged to one end of the positioning rod, a second measuring rod hinged to the top of the first measuring rod, and a slide rod slidably connected inside the second measuring rod, the surface of which is provided with a scale.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a slot is provided below the hinge joint between the first measuring rod and the second measuring rod, and the bottom end of the first measuring rod is annular and its width is smaller than that of the positioning rod.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a through groove is provided in the middle of the second measuring rod, and a pointer is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second measuring rod in the through groove.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a convex lens with a shape matching the through groove is provided inside the through groove, and the sum of the thickness of the convex lens and the thickness of the pointer is equal to the wall thickness of the second measuring rod.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning rod has a storage groove inside, and sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the positioning rod.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, two sliders are provided at the end of the slide rod away from the second measuring rod, and the two sliders are respectively provided on both sides of the slide rod, and the slide rod is slidably connected to the slide groove.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting rod is rotatably connected at the connection between the first measuring rod and the second measuring rod, and the connecting rod passes through the first measuring rod and the second measuring rod.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning rod has an arc-shaped opening on its surface, and the arc-shaped opening is located above the slide groove.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a slope measurement tool with the following advantages:

[0020] 1. By setting the first measuring rod and the positioning rod to be hinged together, and the first measuring rod and the second measuring rod to be hinged together, when measuring the slope, the positioning rod is directly attached to the slope, and then the first measuring rod and the second measuring rod are pulled to make a 90-degree angle to take the reading, thereby calculating the slope of the slope. The process is simple and efficient, which not only makes it easy for the staff to operate, but also improves the work efficiency.

[0021] 2. By designing a sliding connection between the slide rod and the inside of the second measuring rod, and in conjunction with the storage slot inside the positioning rod, both the first and second measuring rods can be folded and placed into the storage slot when carrying the device, reducing the device's size and making it easier to carry. By setting a convex lens on the outside of the pointer, the scale indicated by the pointer is magnified, making it easier for operators to read the values. This solves the problems of traditional slope measuring devices, such as complex operation, high operational complexity, inconvenience in carrying under special working conditions, and high failure rate.

[0030] The structure of this slope measuring tool will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this utility model.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments as described in this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 9 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0035] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 Describe the structure of the slope measurement tool of this utility model.

[0036] A slope measuring tool includes a positioning rod 1 and a measuring component 2. The measuring component 2 is hinged to one end of the positioning rod 1 and includes a first measuring rod 21 hinged to one end of the positioning rod 1. A second measuring rod 22 is hinged to the top end of the first measuring rod 21. A slide rod 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second measuring rod 22. The surface of the slide rod 23 is provided with a scale 231.

[0037] In the above description, the slope angle is measured using a triangular structure composed of positioning rod 1, first measuring rod 21, second measuring rod 22, and sliding rod 23. After the measurement is completed, the slope needs to be calculated. The calculation method is as follows: the length of the first measuring rod 21 is fixed and set as H; the distance from the pointer 223 to the hinge center of the first measuring rod 21 and the second measuring rod 22 is set as X; the length from the center point of the slider 232 to the scale 231 indicated by the pointer 223 is set as Y; the sum of X and Y is L; and the slope is H / L. The starting position of the scale 231 is the center point of the slider 232.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a slot 212 is provided below the hinge joint of the first measuring rod 21 and the second measuring rod 22, which facilitates the relative rotation of the first measuring rod 21 and the second measuring rod 22 after installation, thus providing clearance. The bottom end of the first measuring rod 21 is annular and its width is smaller than that of the positioning rod 1. A through groove 221 is provided in the middle of the second measuring rod 22. A pointer 223 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second measuring rod 22 in the through groove 221. A convex lens 222 with a shape matching the through groove 221 is provided in the through groove 221. The thickness of the convex lens 222 and the thickness of the pointer 223 are equal to the wall thickness of the second measuring rod 22.

[0039] In the above description, the connecting rod 211 consists of a crossbar passing through the first measuring rod 21 and the second measuring rod 22, and round blocks at both ends of the crossbar. The length of the crossbar is equal to the width of the positioning rod 1. The positioning rod 1 has an arc-shaped opening on its surface, which is located above the slide groove 12 and matches the movement trajectory of the connecting rod 211. When the tool is in the retracted state, the crossbar is inserted into the arc-shaped opening. When the device is unfolded, by pulling the connecting rod 211 upward, the first measuring rod 21 moves in an arc around the hinge point with the positioning rod 1, which simultaneously moves one end of the second measuring rod 22. One end of the slide rod 23 moves, causing the slider 232 to slide downward along the slide groove 12. At the same time, the slide rod 23 extends outward. When the first measuring rod 21 is vertical to the horizontal plane, the second measuring rod 22 is at a 90-degree angle to the first measuring rod 21. At this time, the bottom end of the second measuring rod 22 abuts against the slot 212, making the second measuring rod 22 and the first measuring rod 21 stable, thus facilitating reading through the pointer 223.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the positioning rod 1 has a storage groove 11 inside, and sliding grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the positioning rod 1. Two sliders 232 are fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 23 away from the second measuring rod 22. The two sliders 232 are respectively arranged on both sides of the sliding rod 23, and the sliding rod 23 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 12. A connecting rod 211 is rotatably connected at the connection between the first measuring rod 21 and the second measuring rod 22. The connecting rod 211 passes through the first measuring rod 21 and the second measuring rod 22.

[0041] In the above description, the depth of the storage groove 11 is equal to the width of the first measuring rod 21. When the measurement is completed and the first measuring rod 21 needs to be stored, the connecting rod 211 is pressed into the storage groove 11. During this process, the slider 232 will slide along the slide groove 12 to the end away from the first measuring rod 21. At the same time, the slider 232 pushes the slide rod 23 to retract into the second measuring rod 22 through the friction with the positioning rod 1 until the connecting rod 211 is inserted into the arc-shaped opening to complete the storage.

[0042] When using the slope measuring tool described in this utility model:

[0043] Place the positioning rod 1 on the slope surface, and then lift the connecting rod 211 upward to make the first measuring rod 21 stand up. During the process of the first measuring rod 21 standing up, it will drive one end of the second measuring rod 22 to move through the hinge point between the first measuring rod 21 and the second measuring rod 22. At this time, the slider 232 at the other end of the second measuring rod 22 will slide down along the slide groove 12. At the same time, through the resistance generated by the slider 232 and the slide groove 12, the slide rod 23 gradually extends out of the second measuring rod 22. When the first measuring rod 21 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the angle between the first measuring rod 21 and the second measuring rod 22 is ninety degrees. At this time, the slope of the slope can be calculated by reading the scale 231 pointed to by the pointer 223 through the convex lens 222.

[0044] It should be noted that the pointer 223 and convex lens 222 mentioned above are devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model.
