[0001] This utility model relates to the field of target technology, and in particular to an automatically adjustable target for non-contact measurement. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of modern building technology, building structures are becoming increasingly complex and diverse, and the requirements for building quality and safety are also getting higher and higher. Cracks are one of the common defects in building structures, and their accurate detection is crucial for assessing the stability and durability of building structures. Traditional contact measurement methods can damage the surface of building structures when detecting cracks, and the measurement accuracy and efficiency are limited, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-quality testing in modern buildings. Therefore, a more advanced, accurate and non-contact measurement method and equipment are needed.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220708553U, which discloses a target device comprising: a target surface with a through hole at its center and concentric circles centered on the through hole; a rear cover connected to the target surface, with an installation space between them; a heat source partially or entirely contained within the through hole; and a temperature control component installed within the installation space for regulating the temperature of the heat source. This application features a simple and compact design with good heat dissipation, meeting the optical axis adjustment requirements of various infrared products. However, this invention fails to consider that if the target cannot be moved during building crack detection, not all cracks can be detected. Manually adjusting the target position results in low accuracy and cannot meet user needs. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the chute, and a target is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate.

[0012] Through the above technical solution: the limiting plate prevents the U-shaped plate from exceeding the predetermined range during sliding, thus ensuring the safety of the device.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The support plate has a weight-reducing groove in the middle, and the inner wall of the groove is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider.

[0021] The above technical solution reduces the overall weight by using a weight-reducing groove, and the inclined groove is slidably connected to the slider, allowing the slider to move smoothly in the inclined groove, thereby achieving its function.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] A controller is fixedly connected to the left side of the L-shaped plate, and the controller is electrically connected to the motor.

[0024] Through the above technical solution: the controller is responsible for receiving instructions from the operator.

[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. In this utility model, when the motor is started, it drives the hollow column to rotate, pushing the slider to slide along the inclined groove, causing the pushing column to move to the right. Subsequently, the pushing column pushes the U-shaped plate to move to the right along the sliding groove to the designated position. After the motor stops, the telescopic rod is started, and the telescopic rod pushes the mounting plate to slide upward along the U-shaped plate, which can remotely steer the target, realizing the up, down, left, and right movement of the target, so that the target can better receive signals and improve the accuracy of crack detection.

[0030] 2. In this utility model, when it rains, the side plate is pulled to block rainwater on both sides. After the side plate is pulled out, the spring column causes part of the baffle to spring into the top plate. Then, the rotating plate is pulled to make it rotate around the rotating column and fall on the baffle. The baffle supports the rotating column and blocks rainwater on the front side, thus protecting the equipment and preventing rainwater from wetting the equipment, causing damage to the equipment, and thus affecting the normal operation of the work.

[0043] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 Support plates 14 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the U-shaped plate 8. The top of the support plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the top plate 201. A weight reduction groove 15 is opened in the middle of the support plate 14. The inner wall of the inclined groove 5 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 7.

[0044] Specifically, the support plate 14 firmly supports the entire structure and is fixedly connected to the top plate 201, ensuring the stability and durability of the structure. The weight-reducing groove 15 not only reduces the overall weight but also optimizes the efficiency of material use. The inclined groove 5 is slidably connected to the slider 7, allowing the slider 7 to move smoothly in the inclined groove 5, thereby realizing its function.

[0045] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 A controller 16 is fixedly connected to the left side of the L-shaped plate 1. The controller 16 is electrically connected to the motor 3. A display screen 18 is fixedly connected to the rear left side of the controller 16. A knob 17 is provided at the front left side of the controller 16.

[0046] Specifically, the controller 16 is not only electrically connected to the motor 3 to ensure the efficient operation of the equipment, but also equipped with a high-definition display screen 18 to facilitate the operator to monitor the equipment status in real time. The knob 17 allows the user to adjust the equipment parameters through simple rotation, making the operation more intuitive and convenient. The controller 16 is responsible for receiving instructions from the operator. The L-shaped plate 1 not only provides a stable mounting platform for the controller 16, but also ensures that the motor 3 can respond to the control signal efficiently and accurately, thereby enabling the entire mechanical device to operate smoothly.

[0047] Working principle: When motor 3 is started, it drives the hollow column 4 to rotate. During the rotation, the hollow column 4 pushes the slider 7, causing the slider 7 to slide along the inner wall of the inclined groove 5. This pushes the push column 6 to move to the right. The push column 6 then pushes the U-shaped plate 8 to move to the right along the inner wall of the sliding groove 9. When it reaches the designated position, motor 3 is stopped, and then the telescopic rod 10 is started. The telescopic rod 10 pushes the mounting plate 11 to slide upward along the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 8, which allows for remote control of the target 12. This enables the target 12 to move up, down, left, and right, allowing the target 12 to receive signals better and improving the accuracy of crack detection.

[0048] When it rains during the testing process, the side plates 204 are pulled to both sides to block the rainwater on both sides. After the side plates 204 are pulled out, the spring column 206 will push part of the baffle 202 out of the top plate 201. At this time, the rotating plate 205 is pulled, causing the rotating plate 205 to rotate around the outer wall of the rotating column 203 and finally fall on the top of the baffle 202. The baffle 202 will support the rotating column 203, thereby blocking the rainwater on the front side, thus protecting the equipment and preventing rainwater from wetting the equipment, causing damage, and affecting the normal operation of the work.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
