The protractor groove 6 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating measuring ruler 2, and the center of the protractor groove 6 and the retaining rotating shaft 3 are at the same point.

[0030] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the rotating measuring ruler 2 is located at the upper end of the fixed measuring ruler 1 and is connected to the extended measuring ruler 4 via the storage rotating shaft 3. The storage rotating shaft 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the rotating measuring ruler 2. The extended measuring ruler 4 is located inside the rotating measuring ruler 2 and has a rotating groove 7 at its upper end. It is fitted onto the circumferential surface of the storage rotating shaft 3 through the rotating groove 7, thereby achieving a rotating connection. During use, the extended measuring ruler 4 can be rotated and unfolded or folded and stored along the storage rotating shaft 3. When the extended measuring ruler 4 is fully unfolded, the measuring marks 5 on it are aligned and matched with the measuring marks 5 inside the rotating measuring ruler 2 for accurate length measurement. When angle measurement is required, the angle measuring rotation line 9 is aligned with the angle measuring groove 6 on the inner wall of the rotating measuring ruler 2 by rotating the extended measuring ruler 4. The angle measuring groove 6 and the storage rotating shaft 3 are designed to be concentric, so that the required angle can be accurately read. In addition, the angle measuring groove 6 is located on the inner wall of the rotating measuring ruler 2 and is set around the center point of the storage rotating shaft 3 to ensure the accuracy and intuitiveness of the angle measurement process. The structure is compact and versatile. It can extend the overall measurement range by extending the measuring ruler 4 and realize the angle measurement function by rotating the mechanism. At the same time, it has good storage performance, making it easy to carry and store. It is suitable for various occasions such as teaching, drawing, and engineering measurement.

[0031] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-4 When the extended measuring ruler 4 is rotated to the other end of the fixed measuring ruler 1, the measuring mark 5 inside the extended measuring ruler 4 matches the measuring mark 5 inside the rotating measuring ruler 2.

[0032] In this embodiment: when the extended measuring ruler 4 rotates around the storage rotation shaft 3 to the other side of the fixed measuring ruler 1, the measuring mark 5 set inside the extended measuring ruler 4 can be precisely aligned and matched with the corresponding measuring mark 5 inside the rotating measuring ruler 2. This design ensures that the measuring scale always maintains continuity and consistency in different unfolded states, so that users can directly read accurate measurement values ​​without additional conversion or adjustment during use.
