Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring devices, and in particular to a measuring device for architectural design that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of architectural design, precise measurement work is essential in every stage of a project, from site survey and scheme design to construction. Various measuring devices are indispensable. Architectural design has extremely high requirements for measurement accuracy, measurement function diversity, and portability of measuring devices. Accurate measurement data is the key to ensuring the safety of building structures and the rationality of spatial layout, while portable measuring devices allow designers to work flexibly in different sites and improve design efficiency.

[0003] Currently, traditional architectural design measuring devices have many shortcomings in practical use. In terms of storage, common measuring tools such as rulers and protractors are mostly independent units, which are large in size and have different shapes, taking up a lot of space when stored. For example, ordinary long rulers are difficult to store when not in use, are inconvenient to carry, and are easily damaged during transport. Moreover, these tools often require multiple storage containers or spaces to store them separately, which is very cumbersome. The main reason for this problem is that their structural design lacks integration and portability considerations and does not fully take into account the actual needs of architects who need to frequently move around to work in different locations. In response to this technical problem, this application proposes an architectural design measuring device that is easy to store. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing common measuring tools such as rulers and protractors, which are mostly independent units, large in size and varied in shape, and occupy a lot of space when stored. The invention proposes a measuring device for architectural design that is easy to store. The vernier ruler can be rotated and stored inside the main ruler via a rotating rod, reducing the space occupied in the length direction. The connecting plate is connected to the rear end of the main ruler via a hinge and can be flipped and stored when not in use. The main ruler and vernier ruler can be used together to measure length. The protractor one, protractor two and protractor three can be combined to measure angle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A conveniently stored architectural design measuring device includes a main scale. A secondary scale is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main scale via a rotating rod two. The rotating rod two is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the secondary scale. A locking plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the secondary scale. A connecting plate is connected to the rear end of the main scale via a hinge, and the rear end of the main scale is connected to the connecting plate via a limiting component. A protractor one is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate. A protractor two is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protractor one. A protractor three is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protractor two. A magnet is fixedly connected to the front end of the protractor three. Sliding components are fixedly connected to the top ends of both the protractor one and the protractor two.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a rotating rod located at the rear end of the main scale, and a baffle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, the baffle being disposed at the rear end of the protractor.

[0008] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a fixed plate located at the top of protractor one and protractor two, and a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate.

[0009] Furthermore, both the protractor one and the protractor two have grooves at their top ends, and the sliding rod is slidably connected within the grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, a level is fixedly connected to the top of the main ruler.

[0011] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the outer wall of the main ruler, and the locking plate is connected to the slot via a rubber ball.

[0012] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, and both protractor two and protractor three are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the size of protractor one is larger than that of protractor two, and the size of protractor two is larger than that of protractor three.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, the auxiliary ruler can be rotated and stored inside the main ruler via the second rotating rod, reducing the space occupied in the length direction. The connecting plate is connected to the rear end of the main ruler via a hinge, and can be flipped and stored when not in use, saving space. The protractor part consists of protractor one, protractor two, and protractor three, which can be folded up via a sliding component, and their sizes decrease sequentially for easy nesting and storage. Overall, the storage volume is greatly reduced, making it convenient to carry and store.

[0016] In this invention, the main ruler and vernier ruler work together to measure length, meeting the measurement needs for distance dimensions in architectural design. Protractor 1, Protractor 2, and Protractor 3, when combined, can measure angles, helping designers measure the angles of building structures. A level is also fixed to the top of the main ruler to check if an object is level, facilitating levelness measurement in architectural design. This single device performs multiple measurement functions, improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5An embodiment of this utility model provides: a conveniently stored architectural design measuring device, including a main ruler 1, a secondary ruler 5 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main ruler 1 via a rotating rod 2 16, the rotating rod 2 16 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the secondary ruler 5, a clamping plate 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the secondary ruler 5, a connecting plate 8 connected to the rear end of the main ruler 1 via a hinge 6, and the rear end of the main ruler 1 connected to the connecting plate 8 via a rotating rod 1 702 and a baffle 701, a protractor 10 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 8, a protractor 2 11 slidably connected to the inner wall of the protractor 10, a protractor 3 12 slidably connected to the inner wall of the protractor 2 11, a magnet 15 fixedly connected to the front end of the protractor 3 12, and a fixing plate 1401 and a sliding rod 1402 fixedly connected to the top ends of both the protractor 10 and the protractor 2 11.

[0026] Specifically, when length measurement is required, the operation is as follows: Rotate the vernier scale 5, and the rotating rod 16 fixed on the inner wall of the vernier scale 5 will rotate accordingly. At the same time, the clamping plate 4 fixed on the outer wall of the vernier scale 5 will also rotate. During the rotation, the clamping plate 4 will gradually disengage from the limit of the clamping groove 3 on the outer wall of the main scale 1. When the vernier scale 5 rotates to a suitable position that meets the measurement requirements, the clamping plate 4 will be inserted into the corresponding clamping groove 3 on the main scale 1, thereby fixing the vernier scale 5. At this time, the main scale 1 and the vernier scale 5 can be used to measure the length. When there is a need to measure the angle, the connecting plate 8 is flipped with the hinge 6 as the axis. The connecting plate 8 is connected to the main scale 1. After flipping, the protractor part will be in a position that is easy to use. Protractor 1 10, protractor 2 11 and protractor 3 12 are unfolded through the sliding component 14. The magnet 15 fixed at the front end of protractor 3 12 is used to attract and combine the separated protractor parts into a complete protractor for accurate angle measurement.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main scale 1 has a rotating rod 702 at the rear end, and a baffle 701 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 702. The baffle 701 is located at the rear end of the protractor 10. The fixed plate 1401 is located at the top of the protractor 10 and the second protractor 11. The inner wall of the fixed plate 1401 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 1402. The top of the protractor 10 and the second protractor 11 are both provided with a sliding groove 13. The sliding rod 1402 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 13. The top of the main scale 1 is fixedly connected to the level 2. The outer wall of the main scale 1 is provided with a slot 3. The slot 4 is connected to the slot 3 through a rubber ball. The top of the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9. The second protractor 11 and the third protractor 12 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9. The size of the first protractor 10 is larger than that of the second protractor 11. The size of the second protractor 11 is larger than that of the third protractor 12.

[0028] Specifically, rotating the rotating rod 702 causes the baffle 701 fixed to the outer wall of the rotating rod 702 to rotate accordingly. When the baffle 701 rotates to the appropriate position, it will block the connecting plate 8, keeping it stable in the flipped state and preventing it from rotating back unexpectedly. The sliding rod 1402 on the fixed plate 1401 slides in the sliding groove 13 opened at the top of the protractor 10 and the protractor 2 11, thereby unfolding the protractor. Reverse the steps of unfolding the protractor, and retract the protractor 10, the protractor 2 11 and the protractor 3 12. Rotate the baffle 701 so that it no longer blocks the connecting plate 8, and remove the limit on the connecting plate 8. Then, flip the connecting plate 8 back to the initial position with the hinge 6 as the axis. Rotate the auxiliary scale 5 so that the clamping plate 4 disengages from the current clamping groove 3, and rotate until the auxiliary scale 5 is completely retracted to the inner wall of the main scale 1. This completes the storage of the entire measuring device. The level 2 is used to detect whether the plane on which the measuring device is located is level. In architectural design, it can help determine the level state of the building structure and ensure the accuracy of design and construction.

[0029] Working principle: First, take out the measuring device. When it is necessary to measure an angle, flip the connecting plate 8 using the hinge 6. Then, rotate the rotating rod 702 to drive the baffle 701 to rotate. The baffle 701 blocks the connecting plate 8, keeping it in the flipped state. Then, unfold the protractor 10, protractor 2 11, and protractor 3 12 using the fixing plate 1401, sliding rod 1402, and sliding groove 13. Finally, the two halves of the protractor are combined using the magnetic force of the magnet 15. When it is necessary to measure length... When measuring, rotating the vernier scale 5 causes the rotating rod 16 and the clamping plate 4 to rotate. During the rotation, the clamping plate 4 will slowly disengage from the limit of the clamping slot 3. When it is rotated to the appropriate position, the clamping plate 4 will slowly rotate into another clamping slot 3 to fix the vernier scale 5. After the measurement is completed, after retracting the protractor 10, protractor 21 and protractor 312, rotate the baffle 701 to remove the limit on the connecting plate 8, flip the connecting plate 8, rotate the vernier scale 5 again, and after retracting the vernier scale 5, the measuring device can be stored away.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
