[0006] Furthermore, the angle scale markings consist of multiple scale lines.

[0007] Furthermore, on a line passing through the zero point of the angle scale mark and perpendicular to the edge where the zero point is located, there is the center point of the angle scale line.

[0008] Furthermore, the support ruler has a center point mark.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the support ruler are provided with connecting parts, and the first fixing cap and the second fixing cap are respectively fixed on the two connecting parts.

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.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a conveniently stored multifunctional protractor, including a protractor body 1. The protractor body 1 is generally tubular in structure. In this embodiment, the protractor body 1 is a cylindrical body divided in half axially into a support ruler 11 and a functional ruler 12. The radial cross-section of the support ruler 11 and the functional ruler 12 is semi-circular. In addition to the cylindrical structure, the protractor body 1 can also be a polygonal hollow column divided in half axially, namely the support ruler 11 and the functional ruler 12. The functional ruler 12 is provided with angle scale markings 121, which are multiple angle measurement lines. The angle scale lines are located on two edges along the length direction of the functional ruler 12, and the angle represented by two adjacent angle scale lines is 1°. A first fixing cap 2 and a second fixing cap 3 are fixedly provided at both ends of the protractor body 1, respectively. The first fixing cap 2 and the second fixing cap 3 can be directly fitted and fixed to both ends of the protractor body 1. On a line passing through the zero point of the angle scale mark 121 and perpendicular to the edge where the zero point is located, there is a center point of the angle scale line. A center point mark 111 for use with the angle scale line is provided on the support ruler 11. At least one of the two long sides of the functional ruler 12 is a straight side, and the length of the straight side is greater than 1 / 2 of the length of the support ruler 11. In this embodiment, by aligning one end of the support ruler 11 with the zero-degree position of the angle scale line of the functional ruler 12, the support ruler 11 and the functional ruler 12 are placed relatively perpendicularly, and the center point of the angle scale line coincides with the center point mark 111 on the support ruler 11. At this time, the angle between the straight line connecting the center point mark 111 and the angle scale mark and the support ruler 11 is the degree measure of the angle scale line. The protractor of this embodiment has a tubular structure, and its overall structure is simple, making it easy to store and carry.

[0024] Preferably, both ends of the support ruler 11 are provided with connecting portions 113, which are cylinders with external threads. The inner walls of the first fixing cap 2 and the second fixing cap 3 are provided with internal threads that are adapted to the connecting portions 113. The first fixing cap 2 and the second fixing cap 3 are respectively threadedly fixed to the two connecting portions 113. The first fixing cap 2 and the second fixing cap 3 are respectively threadedly connected to the connecting portions 113, and the two ends of the support ruler 11 and the functional ruler 12 are respectively fitted and fixed in the first fixing cap 2 and the second fixing cap 3. The threaded fixation can ensure the stability of the overall structure. In this embodiment, the first fixing cap 2 can adopt a conical structure for fixing the pen tip, and the pen tip is fixed on the first fixing cap 2, so that the multifunctional protractor can also have the function of writing, which greatly improves its practicality.

[0025] Preferably, the support ruler 11 is further provided with a plurality of evenly spaced length graduation lines 112. The length graduation lines 112 are located on two surfaces along the edge of the length direction, and the distance between two adjacent length graduation lines 112 is 0.1 mm. The second fixing cap 3 is provided with a plurality of evenly spaced graduation lines 31. The graduation values ​​of the graduation lines 31 are 10, 20, and 50 divisions. In this embodiment, a 20-division graduation is used. The zero point of the graduation line 31 is the rounded edge of any end of the second fixing cap 3, and the zero point of the length graduation line 112 is the rounded edge of the open end of the first fixing cap 2. In use, the first fixing cap 2 is fixed on the connecting part 113, the second fixing cap 3 is placed on the groove of the support ruler 11, the object to be measured is placed between the first fixing cap 2 and the second fixing cap 3, and the first fixing cap 2 and the second fixing cap 3 are tightened. The second fixing cap 3 is rotated so that the graduation line 31 and the length graduation line 112 come into contact, and finally the length is read. The second fixing cap 3 works in conjunction with the support ruler 11 to realize the function of a vernier caliper, providing students with a simple vernier caliper for practicing reading, thereby enhancing students' learning interest. This utility model also has the functions of measuring angles and lengths.
