Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible measuring tape technology, and in particular to a flexible measuring tape with magnetic and luminous functions for measurement. Background Technology
[0002] The disc-shaped flexible measuring tape is a common portable measuring tool. Its design uses a disc-shaped shell to house the flexible measuring tape, making it lightweight and easy to carry. It is widely used in daily measurement, clothing cutting, decoration and construction, and other fields. However, existing flexible measuring tapes have a single function, which can only measure. During use, some users with poor eyesight or in low-light conditions may find it difficult to see the scale lines on the tape, causing inconvenience in measurement and affecting the use of the tape by people with poor eyesight in dark environments. Therefore, we have launched a flexible measuring tape with magnetic and luminous functions. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible measuring tape with magnetic and luminous functions, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A flexible measuring tape with magnetic and luminous functions includes a measuring tape body, a protrusion fixedly connected to the upper end of the measuring tape body, an illumination device movably connected to the upper right side of the protrusion, the protrusion and the measuring tape body being an integral structure, a luminous coating fixedly connected to the outer surface of the measuring tape body, a measuring tape installed and connected inside the measuring tape body, the measuring tape extending out of the measuring tape body, a pull ring fixedly connected to one end of the measuring tape, a first connecting shaft fixedly connected to the upper left side of the measuring tape body, a frame movably connected to the outer surface of the first connecting shaft via a bearing, and a magnifying lens fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame.
[0006] Preferably, an arc-shaped groove is formed on the left side of the outer surface of the protrusion, and a spring sheet is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove. The spring sheet has an arc-shaped structure. A groove is formed on the upper right side of the protrusion, and a magnetic block is fixedly connected to the front part of the lower wall of the groove.
[0007] Preferably, the lighting device includes a lamp with an arc-shaped rear end, a second connecting shaft fixedly connected to the rear right end of the lamp, an LED bead installed on the upper end of the lamp, a switch button installed on the front end of the lamp, a USB charging port installed on the right end of the lamp, and a metal plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the lamp.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the lighting lamp model is TuNeng YC8001, which can be recharged.
[0009] Preferably, the second connecting shaft is movably connected to the left and right groove walls.
[0010] Preferably, the position of the metal plate corresponds to the position of the magnetic block, and the metal plate and the magnetic block are magnetically connected.
[0011] Preferably, a rotating base is installed and connected to the lower end of the measuring tape body. The lower end of the rotating base has a slot. A movable handle is movably connected to the inner wall of the slot via a rotating shaft. A knob is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable handle.
[0012] Preferably, the height of the protrusion is greater than the height of the frame.
[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, an illumination lamp is installed in the protrusion at the upper end of the measuring tape body. The angle of the illumination lamp can be adjusted by moving the lamp. When the illumination lamp is in a vertical state, the illumination lamp can be turned on by the switch button, which is suitable for illuminating the measuring tape in dark environments. Since a metal plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the illumination lamp, the illumination lamp is magnetically connected to the magnetic block in the protrusion through the metal plate. The illumination lamp can be limited when not in use to prevent the illumination lamp from moving without human intervention. Since a luminous coating is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the measuring tape body, the luminous coating makes it easy to find the entire measuring tape in dark environments.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, a frame is installed on the upper end of the measuring tape body. The frame is connected to the measuring tape body through a connecting shaft. By moving the frame, its angle can be adjusted, and the magnifying lens inside the frame can be positioned outside the measuring tape body. The magnifying lens makes it easier for nearsighted people to view the measuring tape, improving convenience. By installing a spring plate on the protrusion, the spring plate can be pressed against the frame when not in use, thereby limiting the frame and preventing the magnifying lens from swinging without being limited. When it is needed, simply push the spring plate to release the limitation on the magnifying lens. Attached Figure Description
