Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of measuring tool technology, and more particularly to a bidirectional measuring tool. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, measuring tools can usually only perform measurements in one direction. For example, traditional tape measures or laser rangefinders can only measure straight distances in the horizontal or vertical direction, and cannot provide bidirectional measurement functions in both the horizontal and vertical directions at the same time.

[0003] This limitation is particularly evident in measurement operations in complex environments, where users may need to perform multiple measurements in different directions, thus increasing the complexity and time consumption of the measurement.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed in this field to address the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a bidirectional measuring tool that can achieve bidirectional measurement of lateral and longitudinal distances.

[0006] Therefore, this application provides a bidirectional measuring tool, comprising: a housing; a scale disposed on the surface of the housing for measuring distance in a first direction; a measuring and reading component disposed within the housing for reading the distance moved in a second direction; and a display component embedded in the housing for displaying the distance read by the measuring and reading component; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and during measurement, the scale is provided with graduations to directly measure the first distance in the first direction; the scale moves along the second direction with the housing to read the second distance moved by the scale in the second direction through the measuring and reading component, and the second distance is displayed through the display component.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the gear assembly further includes an anti-slip pad fitted onto the drive wheel to prevent slippage when the drive wheel rotates.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a clamping element is also included, which is disposed on the side end of the housing; when the clamping element abuts against the object being measured and the housing moves along the second direction, the measuring and reading component is activated to begin reading the second distance.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Measuring tools often have limitations in design and function, typically only allowing for measurements in a single direction. For example, tools like traditional measuring tapes or modern laser rangefinders are primarily limited to measuring straight-line distances, either horizontally or vertically. Specifically, when using a measuring tape, the user can only straighten it to measure the one-dimensional length of an object, while a laser rangefinder uses the emission and reception of laser beams to precisely determine point-to-point straight-line distances. However, these tools cannot provide bidirectional measurement capabilities in both the horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously; that is, they cannot measure distances in two different directions at the same time.

[0030] This functional limitation is particularly evident in measurement operations in complex environments. For example, at construction sites or interior decoration sites requiring omnidirectional spatial measurements, users often need to perform multiple independent measurements in various directions, such as horizontal and vertical. This not only significantly increases the complexity and tediousness of the measurement work but also inevitably prolongs the entire measurement process and reduces work efficiency. Users are forced to repeatedly adjust the angle and position of the measuring tools to ensure the accuracy of the measurement data in each direction, which undoubtedly consumes both time and energy.

[0031] The embodiments of this application aim to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, and therefore provide a bidirectional measuring tool that can realize bidirectional measurement of lateral and longitudinal distances.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application embodiment provides a bidirectional measuring tool, including: a housing 1; a scale 2 disposed on the surface of the housing 1 for measuring distance in a first direction; a measuring and reading member 3 disposed within the housing 1 for reading the movement distance in a second direction; and a display member 4 embedded in the housing 1 for displaying the distance read by the measuring and reading member 3; wherein, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and during measurement, the scale 2 is provided with graduations to directly measure the first distance in the first direction; the scale 2 moves along the second direction with the housing 1 to read the second distance of the scale 2 moving in the second direction through the measuring and reading member 3, and the second distance is displayed through the display member 4.

[0033] Specifically, this application aims to provide an innovative bidirectional measuring tool, which mainly consists of the following core components: First, a robust and lightweight housing 1, serving as the basic support structure for the entire measuring tool; second, a precise ruler 2, set on the outer surface of the housing 1, whose main function is to measure the distance of an object in a first direction, ensuring the intuitiveness and accuracy of the measurement results. Furthermore, it includes a precision measurement reading component 3, housed inside the housing 1, whose main function is to accurately read the movement distance of the object in a second direction, thereby achieving comprehensive monitoring of movement in the second direction. Finally, there is a clear display component 4, embedded in a suitable position within the housing 1 for easy user observation, whose main function is to display in real time the movement distance in the second direction read by the measurement reading component 3.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that the first and second directions are designed to be perpendicular to each other. This design allows the measuring tool to perform precise measurements in two independent dimensions. During the measurement process, the scale 2 has evenly distributed precise graduations, allowing the user to directly read the first distance in the first direction, making the operation simple and intuitive. Simultaneously, when the housing 1 moves along the second direction, the scale 2 also moves accordingly. At this time, the measuring and reading component 3 accurately captures the distance the scale 2 has moved in the second direction, i.e., the second distance. Finally, the second distance is clearly displayed to the user through the display component 4, thus achieving precise measurement and intuitive display of bidirectional distances.

[0035] Furthermore, to further enhance the practicality and convenience of the measuring tool, the bidirectional measuring tool in this embodiment also possesses some additional functions and design features. For example, the surface of the housing 1 is specially treated to provide excellent anti-slip properties, ensuring a stable grip on the measuring tool in various working environments and avoiding measurement errors caused by slippage. Simultaneously, the material selection for the housing 1 also considers durability and lightweight, typically employing high-strength engineering plastics or metal materials to ensure reliability and impact resistance during long-term use.

[0036] The design of Scale 2 goes beyond simple scale display; it may also include auxiliary measurement functions such as conversion between metric and imperial units, as well as common measurement markings like center lines and symmetry lines, to meet the needs of different users. Furthermore, the fixing method of Scale 2 is designed to prevent accidental slippage during measurement, thus ensuring the accuracy of the results.

[0037] The measurement and reading component 3 employs high-precision sensor technology, capable of capturing minute changes in movement and converting them into digital signals. These signals are then processed by an internal microprocessor and ultimately displayed digitally via the display component 4. This design not only improves measurement accuracy but also significantly enhances the ease of reading, allowing users to obtain precise measurement results directly without complex calculations or estimations.

[0038] Display component 4 typically employs a high-resolution display screen with excellent viewing angles and brightness, ensuring clear display of measurement data even in direct sunlight. Furthermore, display component 4 may also feature backlighting for use in low-light environments. To further enhance the user experience, display component 4 may also incorporate intelligent functions such as data storage, historical record retrieval, and automatic shutdown, making the measuring tool more intelligent and user-friendly.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the measurement and reading component 3 includes: a ranging structure 31 for measuring the second distance; and a circuit board 32 electrically connected to the ranging structure 31 for supporting the ranging structure 31 in measuring and reading the second distance.

[0040] In a specific example, the measurement and reading component 3 comprises the following key parts: First, the ranging structure 31, whose main function is to accurately measure and acquire the second distance data; second, the circuit board 32, which is electrically connected to the ranging structure 31. Its main function is not only to provide a stable support platform for the ranging structure 31, but also to receive and process the second distance data measured by the ranging structure 31, ensuring accurate data reading and transmission. This combined design enables efficient completion of distance measurement and data reading tasks.

[0041] In this example, circuit board 32, as the core supporting component of ranging structure 31, typically includes electronic components such as a microprocessor, memory, and input / output interfaces. The microprocessor is responsible for executing the measurement data processing algorithm, converting the raw data collected by the sensor into usable measurement results. The memory is used to temporarily store measurement data and intermediate results during processing, ensuring the continuity and stability of data processing. The input / output interfaces are responsible for exchanging data with external devices or systems, realizing the output of measurement data and receiving external commands.

[0042] In addition, the design of circuit board 32 also needs to consider anti-interference capabilities to ensure that the accuracy and stability of measurement data are not affected in complex working environments. To improve the overall performance of the system, circuit board 32 may also integrate some auxiliary function modules, such as power management modules and communication modules, to support the long-term stable operation and data transmission of the system.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the ranging structure 31 includes: a mounting structure 311, installed inside the housing 1; and a gear assembly 312, disposed on the mounting structure 311, for converting linear distance into rotational distance for easy reading.

[0044] In a specific example, the ranging structure 31 consists of several key parts: First, the mounting structure 311, which is designed and securely installed inside the housing 1 to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire ranging structure 31; second, the gear assembly 312, which is mounted on the mounting structure 311. Its main function is to convert the input linear distance into a corresponding rotational distance through a precise gear transmission mechanism. This conversion process not only improves the accuracy of the ranging but also makes reading the distance data more convenient and intuitive. Through this structural design, the entire ranging system can efficiently and accurately complete distance measurement tasks in practical applications.

[0045] To ensure the stability and reliability of the ranging structure 31 under various environments, the mounting structure 311 is typically made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand wear and tear during long-term use and the effects of the external environment. Meanwhile, the gears in the gear assembly 312 are typically manufactured using precision machining techniques to ensure their transmission accuracy and durability.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the gear assembly 312 includes: a driving gear 3121; a driven gear 3122, which is connected to the driving gear 3121 and is driven to rotate by the driving gear 3121; and an encoder 3123, which is fitted onto the driven gear 3122 and is used to measure the angular distance of the driven gear 3122.

[0047] In a specific example, the gear assembly 312 includes the following main parts: First, the driving gear 3121 is the driving part of the entire gear assembly 312, responsible for providing the initial power input; second, the driven gear 3122, which is closely connected to the driving gear 3121 through a transmission connection, receives power from the driving gear 3121 and rotates accordingly under its drive; in addition, it includes an encoder 3123, which is fitted outside or inside the driven gear 3122. Its main function is to accurately measure the angular distance of the driven gear 3122 during rotation, so as to facilitate real-time monitoring and data acquisition of the motion state of the driven gear 3122. Through this structural design, the gear assembly 312 can ensure high stability and accuracy during transmission.

[0048] To further enhance the system's performance and reliability, the gear assembly 312 may also include auxiliary components. For example, a bearing system can be incorporated to ensure smoother and more stable rotation of the driving gear 3121 and driven gear 3122, reducing friction and wear. Furthermore, to prevent overload or damage to the gear assembly 312 during operation, overload protection devices, such as clutches or torque limiters, can be added to ensure the safe operation of the entire system.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the gear assembly 312 further includes an anti-slip pad 3124, which is fitted onto the drive wheel 3121 to prevent the drive wheel 3121 from slipping when it rotates.

[0050] In a specific example, an anti-slip pad 3124 is designed and fitted onto the drive wheel 3121. Its main function is to effectively prevent the drive wheel 3121 from slipping when rotating at high speed or under heavy load. This design significantly improves the overall stability and transmission efficiency of the gear assembly 312, ensuring the normal operation of the mechanical system and extending its service life.

[0051] In practical applications, the anti-slip mat 3124 is typically made of rubber or other synthetic materials with a high coefficient of friction to ensure good grip under various working conditions. Furthermore, the shape and dimensions of the anti-slip mat 3124 are precisely calculated and designed to perfectly conform to the surface of the drive wheel 3121, thereby maximizing its anti-slip effect without affecting the normal operation of the drive wheel 3121.

[0052] To further enhance the performance of the anti-slip mat 3124, its surface may be designed with specific textures or bumps, which can further increase the friction with the contact surface, thus maintaining stability even under extreme conditions. In addition, the installation method of the anti-slip mat 3124 has also been optimized, typically using adhesive, snap-fit ​​or other fixing methods to ensure that it will not fall off or shift during long-term use.

[0053] In one possible implementation, a clamping member 5 is also included, which is disposed on the side end of the housing 1; when the clamping member 5 abuts against the object being measured and the housing 1 moves along the second direction, the measuring and reading member 3 is activated and begins to read the second distance.

[0054] In a specific example, when the clamping member 5 is pressed tightly against the surface of the object being measured, it presses the ranging structure inward. This action, along with the movement of the housing 1 in a predetermined second direction, triggers the activation mechanism of the measurement reading member 3. Subsequently, the measurement reading member 3 begins to accurately read and record the second distance data, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the measurement process.

[0055] The clamping element 5 is designed to ensure stable contact with the surface of the object being measured. To achieve this, the clamping element 5 typically possesses a degree of elasticity or adjustability to accommodate objects of different shapes and surface characteristics. Furthermore, the material selection for the clamping element 5 must consider its wear resistance and durability to ensure that measurement accuracy is not affected by wear or deformation during long-term use.

[0056] In the assembly design of the mechanical structure, to ensure the stability and reliability of the ranging structure, an elastic buffer device is specifically installed at the critical position where the clamping component 5 is pressed inward. This elastic component typically uses a helical spring as standard, a design characterized by its simple structure and stable elastic performance. When the ranging structure is subjected to inward pressure from the clamping component 5, the pre-installed spring immediately undergoes corresponding elastic deformation, continuously resisting the ranging structure through its own elastic restoring force. This elastic support effectively prevents accidental slippage or displacement of the ranging structure during operation, thereby ensuring measurement accuracy and operational safety. Simultaneously, the spring constant is precisely calculated to provide sufficient support without placing excessive pressure on the ranging structure, thus preventing it from affecting its normal operation.

[0057] In addition, the use of springs also provides a certain degree of cushioning, absorbing and mitigating energy generated by external impacts or vibrations, further enhancing the stability and durability of the entire mechanical system. In practical applications, parameters such as the size, material, and preload of the spring are carefully designed and selected according to the specific requirements of the ranging structure and the working environment to ensure optimal performance under various working conditions.

[0058] To further improve system reliability, springs are typically installed in specific guide devices. This ensures that the springs do not shift or twist under stress, thus maintaining uniform support for the ranging structure. The guide devices are also designed for ease of maintenance and replacement, allowing for quick replacement in case of spring fatigue or damage, minimizing equipment downtime.

[0059] In some specialized applications, to adapt to different working conditions and requirements, other types of elastic components, such as rubber pads, air bladders, or elastomers made of other composite materials, may be used in addition to springs. These elastic components can provide different elastic properties and cushioning effects according to different working environments and load requirements, in order to meet more complex and demanding application needs.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the housing 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11, and the scale 2 is snapped into the receiving groove 11.

[0061] In a specific example, the scale 2 is securely installed inside the receiving groove 11 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism, ensuring that the scale 2 will neither easily slide nor fall off within the groove, thereby achieving stable positioning and accurate measurement of the scale 2. This design not only improves the compactness and stability of the overall structure but also facilitates quick and accurate reading and operation by the user during use.

[0062] Furthermore, to further enhance the user experience and measurement accuracy, the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 is finely machined to ensure a smooth, burr-free surface, thereby preventing any unnecessary wear or damage to the scale 2. Simultaneously, the size and shape of the receiving groove 11 are precisely calculated to ensure a tight fit of the scale 2 during engagement, thus reducing measurement errors caused by loosening or shaking.

[0063] To enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of Ruler 2, it is made of high-quality materials and may have undergone a special coating treatment to resist various environmental factors that may be encountered in daily use, such as moisture, dust, and chemicals. Furthermore, the locking mechanism of Ruler 2 is designed to be both simple and reliable; users can easily lock or release it by simply pushing or pulling it gently, making the entire process convenient and quick.

[0064] In practical applications, this combination of housing 1 and scale 2 significantly enhances the flexibility and applicability of the measuring tool. Whether performing precision engineering measurements or simple length measurements in daily life, this design provides stable and reliable measurement results. Through this innovative design, users can complete various measurement tasks more easily and efficiently, thereby significantly improving work efficiency and measurement accuracy.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the surface of the housing 1 is provided with an adsorption member 12, which is used to adsorb the ruler 2 onto the housing 1.

[0066] In a specific example, the application of the adsorption component 12 ensures that the scale 2 will not easily slip or fall off during use, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure and the ease of operation. The design and layout of the adsorption component 12 are optimized to ensure that it can perform its best adsorption effect under different usage environments and conditions, thereby further improving the firmness and reliability of the connection between the scale 2 and the housing 1.

[0067] Furthermore, these adsorption components 12 are typically made of highly adhesive materials to ensure that they maintain their adsorption performance in various working environments. For example, they can be rubber pads, magnets, or other types of adhesives with strong adhesion. In this way, the ruler 2 can be easily adsorbed onto the housing 1 without the need for additional fixing devices or tools.

[0068] In practical applications, users can easily attach the scale 2 to any position on the housing 1 as needed, thus achieving flexible measurement and marking functions. This design not only improves the versatility of the device but also simplifies the operation process, making it easier for users to perform various measurement tasks.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the display component 4 is provided with a start button 41, which is used to control the display component 4 to display a distance value.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the display component 4 is provided with a switching button 42, which is used to control the display component 4 to switch the unit of the displayed distance value.

[0071] In a specific example, when the user presses the start button 41, the display component 4 will display the current distance value according to the preset program logic, so that the user can intuitively obtain the information they need. In this way, the user can easily activate the distance value display function, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0072] In another example, specifically, when a user needs to switch the displayed distance value from one unit to another, they simply press the switch button 42, and the display component 4 will automatically switch to the corresponding unit according to the user's instruction. This allows users to flexibly select and switch the display unit of the distance value according to their actual needs, thereby further improving the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0073] The bidirectional measuring tool involved in this application is ingeniously designed and compact in structure, occupying little space and being extremely easy to operate, allowing users to easily learn and use it without complex training. This tool possesses a unique bidirectional measuring function, capable of simultaneously and accurately measuring distance data in two mutually perpendicular directions. This feature enables it to perform exceptionally well in a variety of measurement scenarios. Whether in construction sites, interior decoration, or machinery manufacturing, this tool can easily handle various measurement needs. By using this bidirectional measuring tool, not only is measurement efficiency significantly improved and repetitive work reduced, but the accuracy of measurement results is also significantly enhanced, providing more reliable data support for various engineering projects.
