Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geological measurement technology, specifically a geological profile thickness measuring device. Background Technology
[0002] Geological profiling is a traditional method in geological surveys, serving as a crucial means of obtaining basic information such as stratigraphic attitude, thickness, and lithology. In geological work such as surface matrix layer surveys, ecological geological surveys, and critical zone surveys, soil becomes an equally important survey object as bedrock and its weathered materials, requiring separate measurements of the overall thickness of soil and bedrock, as well as the thickness of each internal layer. The relative spatial position of strata, soil layers, and the profile directly affects the thickness measurement results. Only when the angle between the strata or soil layer and the profile is 90 degrees can the true thickness of the target layer (strata or soil layer) be directly measured; otherwise, the measured data represents the exposed thickness of the target layer. Therefore, in medium- and low-scale surveys, to ensure efficiency, the exposed thickness of the target layer is approximated to its true thickness. When higher accuracy is required, the true thickness can be calculated by measuring the dip angle of the target layer.
[0003] Common measuring devices include a support mechanism and a measuring mechanism. In use, the measuring mechanism, such as a laser rangefinder, is set up in a specified position through the support mechanism. Then, by combining laser triangulation with inertial navigation technology, non-contact and accurate measurement of geological profile thickness can be achieved. However, this method requires fine-tuning of the measuring mechanism during the measurement process. Traditionally, fine-tuning requires moving the entire support mechanism, which makes the fine-tuning process time-consuming and labor-intensive and cannot meet the requirements of geological surveying. Therefore, a geological profile thickness measuring device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a geological profile thickness measuring device to solve the technical problem that the measuring mechanism needs to be fine-tuned during the measurement process, while traditional methods require the entire support mechanism to be moved during fine-tuning, resulting in a time-consuming and labor-intensive fine-tuning process.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a geological profile thickness measuring device, comprising:
[0008] A support column is fitted with a sleeve on its outside. A horizontal platform is installed at the top of the sleeve. A sliding groove is opened inside the horizontal platform. A movable platform is inserted into the left side of the sliding groove.
[0009] The fine-tuning seat is inserted inside the slide groove and located on the right side of the moving platform. A limit bolt is screwed into the middle of the interior of the moving platform, and a mounting platform is installed on the top of the fine-tuning seat.
[0010] A laser rangefinder is mounted on the top of a mounting platform via a hinged frame. A bearing seat is installed on the right side of the top of the moving platform, and a turn wheel is inserted into the right side of the bearing seat. A screw is coaxially connected to the right side of the turn wheel.
[0011] The mounting base is screwed onto the outside of the screw, and the bottom end of the mounting base is connected to the top left side of the fine-tuning base.
[0012] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the moving platform and the fine-tuning seat are covered with damping pads, and the outer circumference of the actuating wheel is equipped with anti-slip textures to facilitate rotation.
[0013] Preferably, a counterweight plate is coaxially mounted at the bottom end of the support column, an insert plate is inserted into the upper part of the inner cavity of the sleeve, and a rotating shaft is inserted into the upper right side of the sleeve. The added counterweight plate improves the stability of the support column placement.
[0014] Preferably, a first bevel tooth is coaxially mounted on the inner end of the rotating shaft, and a second bevel tooth is mounted on the top of the insert plate via a bearing. The first and second bevel teeth mesh with each other, and a turntable is coaxially mounted on the outer end of the rotating shaft. The added turntable facilitates the rotation of the first bevel tooth.
[0015] Preferably, the support column has a hollow structure inside, and a snap-fit seat is inserted into the upper part of the inner cavity of the support column. A stud is coaxially connected to the bottom of the second bevel tooth. The stud passes through the interior of the snap-fit seat and is screwed into the snap-fit seat. The rotation of the shaft and the first bevel tooth can be driven by the turntable, so that the second bevel tooth can drive the rotation of the stud. This allows the sleeve to move up and down outside the support column, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the laser rangefinder.
[0016] Preferably, the sleeve has through slots on both the left and right sides, and T-shaped retaining strips are inserted into the inside of the through slots. The inner side of each T-shaped retaining strip is connected to the corresponding position on the outside of the support column. The addition of T-shaped retaining strips and the through slots improve the stability of the sleeve when it moves up and down.
[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a geological profile thickness measuring device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This geological profile thickness measuring device allows the movement of the movable platform by loosening the limiting bolts, thereby adjusting the left and right positions of the fine-tuning base and the laser rangefinder. Furthermore, rotating the dial wheel drives the screw, further moving the fine-tuning base and mounting platform to fine-tune the position of the laser rangefinder. This allows for left-right adjustments to the laser rangefinder without moving the support column after it reaches the designated height, avoiding the tedious process of repeatedly adjusting the support column. The fine-tuning allows for more precise position adjustments, ensuring the laser rangefinder accurately aligns with the measurement target, reducing human error, improving the accuracy of measurement data, and enhancing the measurement precision and ease of use of the device.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0028] This utility model provides a technical solution: a geological profile thickness measuring device, comprising a support column 1, a sleeve 2, a cross platform 3, a slide 4, a moving platform 5, a limiting bolt 51, a fine-tuning seat 6, a mounting platform 7, a laser rangefinder 8, a bearing seat 9, a turning wheel 10, a screw 11, an assembly seat 12, an insert plate 13, a rotating shaft 14, a first bevel tooth 15, a second bevel tooth 16, a locking seat 17, a stud 18, a turntable 19, a through groove 20, and a T-shaped retaining strip 21.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 The support column 1 is fitted with a sleeve 2, and a crossbeam 3 is installed at the top of the sleeve 2. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The interior of the horizontal platform 3 is provided with a sliding groove 4, and a movable platform 5 is inserted into the left side of the interior of the sliding groove 4;
[0030] Please see Figure 3 The fine-tuning seat 6 is inserted inside the slide 4 and located on the right side of the moving stage 5. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 A limit bolt 51 is screwed into the middle of the interior of the moving platform 5, and an installation platform 7 is installed on the top of the fine-tuning seat 6.
[0031] The laser rangefinder 8 is mounted on top of the mounting platform 7 via a hinged bracket. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 A bearing seat 9 is installed on the top right side of the moving platform 5. A toggle wheel 10 is inserted into the right side of the bearing seat 9. A screw 11 is coaxially connected to the right side of the toggle wheel 10.
[0032] The mounting base 12 is screwed onto the outside of the screw 11. The bottom end of the mounting base 12 is connected to the top left side of the fine-tuning base 6. Damping pads are laid on the outside of both the moving platform 5 and the fine-tuning base 6. Anti-slip textures are installed circumferentially on the outside of the actuating wheel 10. A counterweight plate is coaxially mounted at the bottom end of the support column 1. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 A plate 13 is inserted into the upper part of the inner cavity of the sleeve 2, and a rotating shaft 14 is inserted into the upper right side of the sleeve 2. By loosening the limiting bolt 51, the movement of the moving table 5 can be pushed, thereby adjusting the left and right positions of the fine-tuning seat 6 and the laser rangefinder 8. Furthermore, by rotating the dial wheel 10, the screw 11 can be rotated, which in turn allows the fine-tuning seat 6 and the mounting table 7 to move, allowing for further fine-tuning of the position of the laser rangefinder 8. After the laser rangefinder 8 reaches the specified height, it can be finely adjusted in the left and right directions without moving the support column 1, avoiding the tedious process of repeatedly adjusting the support column 1. Moreover, the fine-tuning can achieve more precise position adjustment, ensuring that the laser rangefinder 8 can accurately align with the measurement target, helping to reduce human error, improve the accuracy of measurement data, and enhance the measurement accuracy and ease of use of the measuring device.
[0033] A first bevel tooth 15 is coaxially mounted on the inner end of the rotating shaft 14, and a second bevel tooth 16 is mounted on the top of the insert plate 13 via a bearing. The first bevel tooth 15 and the second bevel tooth 16 mesh with each other. A turntable 19 is coaxially mounted on the outer end of the rotating shaft 14. The support column 1 has a hollow internal structure, and a locking seat 17 is inserted into the upper part of the inner cavity of the support column 1. A stud 18 is coaxially connected to the bottom of the second bevel tooth 16. The stud 18 passes through the interior of the locking seat 17 and is screwed into the locking seat 17. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 and 6 The sleeve 2 has through slots 20 on both the left and right sides. T-shaped retaining strips 21 are inserted into the inside of each through slot 20. The inner side of each T-shaped retaining strip 21 is connected to the corresponding position on the outside of the support column 1. The rotating shaft 14 and the first bevel tooth 15 can be driven to rotate by the turntable 19, so that the stud 18 can be driven to rotate by the second bevel tooth 16. This allows the sleeve 2 to move up and down on the outside of the support column 1, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the laser rangefinder 8.
[0034] This design allows the movement of the movable platform 5 by loosening the limiting bolt 51, thereby adjusting the left and right positions of the fine-tuning seat 6 and the laser rangefinder 8. Furthermore, rotating the dial wheel 10 drives the screw 11 to rotate, which in turn moves the fine-tuning seat 6 and the mounting platform 7, allowing for further fine-tuning of the laser rangefinder 8's position. Once the laser rangefinder 8 reaches the designated height, it can be finely adjusted left and right without moving the support column 1, avoiding the tedious process of repeatedly adjusting the support column 1. The fine-tuning allows for more precise position adjustments, ensuring the laser rangefinder 8 accurately aligns with the measurement target, reducing human error, improving the accuracy of measurement data, and enhancing the measurement precision and ease of use of the measuring device. Simultaneously, the turntable 19 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 14 and the first bevel gear 15, which in turn drives the rotation of the stud 18 via the second bevel gear 16, allowing the sleeve 2 to move up and down outside the support column 1, facilitating the adjustment of the laser rangefinder 8's height.
