[0002] During the steel coil rolling process, local high points, after being coiled and stacked, will create local bulges at specific locations on the coil, which are known as ribs. The height of the ribs determines the quality of the product's sheet shape; the higher the ribs and the narrower their width, the worse the sheet shape. Therefore, measuring the height of the ribs is crucial to the product's quality assessment. Current technologies for measuring rib dimensions are difficult to operate, require multiple employees to work together, resulting in high labor costs. Furthermore, existing measuring devices cannot measure rib width, leading to low measurement accuracy.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a measuring device that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0031] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0032] This embodiment provides a measuring device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the measuring device is used to measure the dimensions of the rib 110 of the steel coil 100. Specifically, the measuring device includes a standard ruler 10 and a measuring structure 20. The measuring edge 11 of the standard ruler 10 is used to abut tangentially with the vertex of the rib 110, and the standard ruler 10 can form a measuring gap with both sides of the rib 110. The measuring structure 20 includes a connecting rod 21 and a measuring component 22. The measuring component 22 includes a measuring element 221, which can extend into the measuring gap. When the measuring element 221 abuts against the steel coil 100, the measuring edge 11, and the edge of the rib 110 simultaneously, the thickness of the measuring element 221 is the height of the rib 110. Two measuring components 22 are provided, both of which slide against the connecting rod 21. The two measuring elements 221 can extend into the measuring spaces on both sides of the rib 110 respectively, and the distance between the two measuring elements 221 is the width of the rib 110.

[0033] When measuring the dimensions of the rib 110 using this measuring device, the height of the rib 110 can be obtained from the thickness of the measuring element 221, and the width of the rib 110 can be indirectly obtained from the distance between the two measuring elements 221. This device not only improves measurement accuracy but also has low operational difficulty, requiring only one employee to complete the measurement, which helps improve measurement efficiency and reduce labor costs. Furthermore, with the improvement in measurement accuracy, operators can more quickly and accurately determine whether the steel coil 100 is usable.

[0034] To further improve the convenience of measurement, such as Figure 1As shown, each measuring component 22 includes multiple measuring elements 221, each with a different measuring thickness. When measuring the height of the rib 110, the operator can select a measuring element 221 with a suitable measuring thickness according to actual needs, thereby ensuring the convenience and speed of the measurement. It should be noted that in this embodiment, each measuring component 22 includes measuring elements 221 with thicknesses of 0.05mm, 0.10mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, 0.25mm, and 0.3mm. The appropriate element can be selected based on actual needs. If the 0.05mm measuring element 221 is too thin, a 0.10mm measuring element 221 is used instead, and so on, until a measuring element 221 with a suitable thickness is found. The thickness of this measuring element 221 is the height of the rib 110.

[0035] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the measuring edge 11 of the standard ruler 10 is a straight edge. After the measuring edge 11 is tangent to the vertex of the rib 110, the measuring height of the measuring parts 221 on both sides of the rib 110 should be the same (the heights on both sides of the rib 110 are the same), which can improve the accuracy of the measurement and ensure the precision of the measurement.

[0036] Furthermore, the side 12 of the standard ruler 10 has graduations along its length, which are used to display the distance between the two measuring components 22. That is, the height of the rib 110 can be read from the thickness of the measuring component 221 located between the measuring edge 11 of the standard ruler 10 and the steel coil 100. The width of the rib 110 can be quickly determined by the difference in graduations between the two measuring components 221, without the need to additionally measure the distance between the two measuring components 221. The operation is simple and convenient, and the results are accurate and intuitive. In this embodiment, the standard ruler 10 is a steel ruler. Steel rulers are not only common but also have good wear resistance and a long service life.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the measuring component 22 also includes a protective shell 222, which can accommodate multiple measuring elements 221 of the same measuring component 22. By providing the protective shell 222, multiple measuring elements 221 can be stored, thereby improving the convenience of carrying the measuring component 22, enhancing its aesthetics, and improving the user experience.

[0038] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connecting rod 21 includes a groove 211 extending along its length, and multiple measuring components 221 and the protective shell 222 are slidably connected within the groove 211 via sliding buttons 223. This arrangement simplifies the connection structure between the measuring components 22 and the connecting rod 21, and ensures the stability and smoothness of the sliding, thereby effectively improving the measurement efficiency and convenience of the rib 110 width.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the measuring assembly 22 also includes a rotating shaft 224. Multiple measuring elements 221 are concentrically pivotally connected to the protective shell 222 via the rotating shaft 224, and the rotating shaft 224 is connected to a sliding button 223. In this structure, each measuring assembly 22 can slide to the measuring position via the sliding button 223 and the sliding groove 211. After reaching the measuring position, a measuring element 221 of appropriate size is selected, which is then unscrewed from the protective shell 222 and inserted into the measuring gap. The height of the rib 110 can then be determined based on the thickness of the measuring element 221.

[0040] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 224 and the sliding button 223 are concentrically pivoted, and the length of the sliding groove 211 is not less than the sum of the lengths of the two protective shells 222. Since the rotating shaft 224 and the sliding button 223 are concentrically pivoted, at the end of the measurement, multiple measuring parts 221 can be rotated into the protective shell 222 first, and then the protective shell 222 can be rotated to make it drive multiple measuring parts 221 to rotate together to the angle that coincides with the connecting rod 21, which is convenient for carrying and storing. In addition, since the length of the sliding groove 211 is not less than the sum of the lengths of the two protective shells 222, it can be ensured that the two protective shells 222 rotate simultaneously to the angle that coincides with the connecting rod 21, thereby further improving the convenience of storage and carrying.

[0041] To facilitate the removal of measuring piece 221 during measurement, such as Figure 1 As shown, the protective shell 222 is provided with a notch 225, which is used for taking out and putting in the measuring part 221. That is, the operator can directly unscrew the measuring part 221 from the notch 225, thereby enabling quick measurement work and improving the convenience and user experience of taking out and putting in the measuring part 221.

[0042] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the measuring element 221 away from the connecting rod 21 is arc-shaped, and both ends of the connecting rod 21 along its length are also arc-shaped. This design avoids sharp structures at the ends of the measuring device, thereby preventing scratches to the operator's palms or fingers during measurement and ensuring operational safety.

[0043] The following is a description of the measurement process for measuring the dimensions of the reinforcing bar 110 using the measuring device in this embodiment, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0044] First, place the measuring edge 11 of the standard ruler 10 against the vertex of the rib 110, and make the measuring edge 11 tangent to the vertex of the rib 110.

[0045] Next, slide the two measuring components 22 until the distance between the two measuring components 22 is close to the width of the rib 110. Then, rotate out a measuring piece 221 of appropriate thickness from the protective shell 222 and insert it into the measuring gap. If the thickness is not suitable, rotate it back into the protective shell 222 and use a measuring piece 221 of another thickness until the measuring piece 221 can simultaneously abut against the steel coil 100, the measuring edge 11 and the edge of the rib 110 while being inserted into the measuring gap.

[0046] Finally, the distance between the two measuring pieces 221 is read from the scale of the standard ruler 10, and this distance is the width of the rib 110; the height of the rib 110 is obtained from the thickness of the inserted measuring piece 221.

[0047] In summary, using the measuring device in this embodiment, only one employee is needed to simultaneously measure the height and width of the reinforcing bar 110. The operation is simple, the measurement accuracy is high, and the measurement efficiency and user experience can be effectively improved.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
