[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] See attached document Figure 1 A measuring rod for measuring the dimensions of aviation container boxes. The measuring rod is made entirely of aluminum alloy, which has the advantages of high strength and corrosion resistance. Its simplest form only includes a vertical rod 1, a horizontal rod 2 and a support rod 3. The top of the vertical rod 1 is provided with the horizontal rod 2, and the support rod 3 is inclined between the vertical rod 1 and the horizontal rod 2 so that the vertical rod 1 and the horizontal rod 2 are perpendicular to each other.
[0027] When using this method, place the bottom of the vertical rod 1 on one side of the container, aligning the vertical rod 1 with one side of the container. Position the horizontal rod 2 above the container. Then, move the measuring rod along the length or width of the container until it extends to the other side of the container. This allows for quick measurement of whether the container dimensions meet the loading requirements. Compared to traditional tape measure measurements, this method is simple to operate, highly accurate, and ensures compliance with the cargo hold size of the flight, avoiding any impact on flight safety due to exceeding size limits.
[0028] See attached document Figure 2-8 In this embodiment, for ease of carrying and storage, the top of the vertical rod 1 is rotatably connected to one end of the horizontal rod 2, allowing the horizontal rod 2 to rotate relative to the vertical rod 1. At the same time, both ends of the support rod 3 are detachably connected to the vertical rod 1 and the horizontal rod 2, respectively. The vertical rod 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for accommodating the horizontal rod 2. When the measuring rod is not needed, the support rod 3 can be removed first, and then the horizontal rod 2 can be rotated into the receiving groove 11, thereby greatly reducing the volume of the measuring rod and making it easy to carry and store.
[0029] In this embodiment, a positioning unit is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The positioning unit includes a spring 12 connected to the bottom of the receiving groove 11. A slider 13 is slidably connected to the top of the spring 12 in the receiving groove 11. A locking rod 14 is provided at the top of the slider 13. A locking hole 21 for engaging the locking rod 14 is provided at the end of the horizontal bar 2 away from the vertical bar 1. When the horizontal bar 2 rotates into the receiving groove 11, the locking rod 14 will be inserted into the locking hole 21 under the action of the spring 12, thereby fixing the horizontal bar 2 in the receiving groove 11, preventing the horizontal bar 2 from shaking randomly during carrying, and improving the safety of carrying the measuring rod.
[0030] To facilitate the fixing of the crossbar 2, the top of the clamping rod 14 is designed with rounded corners. When the crossbar 2 is rotated into the receiving groove 11, the end of the crossbar 2 will directly abut against the rounded side wall of the top of the clamping rod 14 to squeeze the clamping rod 14 to move downward.
[0031] In this embodiment, one end of the support rod 3 is provided with a cylindrical first mounting post 31, and the other end is provided with a rectangular mounting block 32. A cylindrical second mounting post 33 is provided on the mounting block 32 on the same side as the first mounting post 31. The receiving groove 11 has a first mounting hole 16 for inserting the first mounting post 31. The bottom of the crossbar 2 has a sliding groove 22 for inserting the mounting block 32. A third mounting hole 23 for inserting the second mounting post 33 is provided in the sliding direction of the mounting block 32 within the sliding groove 22. When installing the support rod 3, the mounting block 32 is inserted into the sliding groove 22. Inside, the first mounting post 31 is aligned with the first mounting hole 16, and the second mounting post 33 is aligned with the third mounting hole 23. Then, the support rod 3 is pushed towards the vertical rod 1. At this time, the first mounting post 31 is inserted into the first mounting hole 16, and the second mounting post 33 is inserted into the third mounting hole 23. When disassembling, the support rod 3 can be operated in reverse. The installation and disassembly are simple and convenient. Moreover, when measuring the top of the container box, the horizontal or upward thrust that the support rod 3 may be subjected to will not cause the support rod 3 to fall off the vertical rod 1 and the horizontal rod 2, which greatly improves the support stability of the support rod 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, in order to fix the support rod 3 after disassembly, a pair of buckles 34 are provided on the side of the support rod 3 away from the first mounting post 31 and the second mounting post 33. The first mounting hole 16 passes through the vertical rod 1 to cooperate with the insertion of one of the buckles 34. A weight-reducing groove 17 is provided on the vertical rod 1, and a second mounting hole 18 is provided in the weight-reducing groove 17 to cooperate with the insertion of the other buckle 34. When the support rod 3 is removed, the two buckles 34 are respectively aligned with the first mounting hole 16 and the second mounting hole 18 on the side of the vertical rod 1 away from the receiving groove 11, and then the two buckles 34 are respectively inserted into the first mounting hole 16 and the second mounting hole 18. At this time, the support rod 3 is fixed to the side of the vertical rod 1 away from the horizontal rod 2. The support rod 3 and the horizontal rod 2 are respectively fixed to the two sides of the vertical rod 1, which not only facilitates transportation, but also avoids the loss of one of the components during storage.
[0033] In this embodiment, the buckle 34 includes a pair of elastic plates connected to the support rod 3. Each elastic plate has a semi-conical hook on the side away from the support rod 3. The diameter of the connection between the hook and the plate is larger than the diameter of the first mounting hole 16 and the second mounting hole 18. When the buckle 34 is inserted into the first mounting hole 16 and the second mounting hole 18, the hook will be pushed, causing the elastic plate to deform. When the hook passes through the first mounting hole 16 and the second mounting hole 18 and enters the receiving groove 11 and the weight reduction groove 17, the elastic plate is reset. At this time, the elastic plate is relatively locked in the first mounting hole 16 and the second mounting hole 18, so that the support rod 3 is fixed to one side of the vertical rod 1.
[0034] To facilitate the disassembly of the support rod 3 fixed to the vertical rod 1, the two hooks are symmetrical along the length of the support rod 3. At this time, by inserting a finger into the receiving groove 11 and the weight reduction groove 17, the two hooks can be squeezed at the same time, causing the two hooks to move closer to the middle. At this time, the buckle 34 can be pulled out from the first mounting hole 16 and the second mounting hole 18, that is, the separation of the support rod 3 from the vertical rod 1 can be completed quickly.
[0035] In this embodiment, since the top side panels of different container boxes have different shapes, in order to facilitate the measurement of different container boxes, the support rod 3 is designed as a straight rod or a curved rod according to the actual measurement situation, which can better adapt to different measurement scenarios.
[0036] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the control of the lifting and lowering of the lever 14, a vertical groove 15 is provided on the side of the vertical rod 1 away from the receiving groove 11 to connect to the receiving groove 11. One side of the slider 13 extends to the outside of the vertical rod 1 through the vertical groove 15. When the slider 13 is pressed down, the end extending out of the vertical groove 15 moves downward and is no longer inserted into the locking hole 21. At this time, the horizontal bar 2 can be quickly unfolded, which is simple and convenient to operate.
[0037] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the user's grip on the measuring rod and improve the comfort and stability of the measurement, a cylindrical handle 19 is provided on the vertical rod 1.
