Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of earthwork measurement technology, and in particular to a device for measuring the volume of earthwork in land reclamation. Background Technology
[0002] Earthwork volume measurement is a crucial step in civil construction. By measuring the earthwork volume, construction workers can estimate and plan the required number of excavating machines and transport vehicles, thereby improving construction efficiency and reducing costs. Construction workers calculate the volume of earthwork by inserting a measuring ruler into the soil to measure the depth of the excavated area and then measuring the area on the ground. This facilitates construction planning.
[0003] During the process of inserting the measuring ruler into the soil, the measuring ruler is prone to tilting, which causes the reading on the measuring ruler to have an error relative to the actual depth of the soil. This results in inaccurate soil volume measurement data and makes it impossible to measure the slope at the same time, thus affecting the convenience and accuracy of the work for the user. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a land consolidation earthwork measurement device to solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a land consolidation earthwork measurement device, comprising a box body, with support seats fixedly connected to both sides of the box body, and threaded grooves extending through the top of each support seat, with threaded rods threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded grooves, and handles fixedly connected to the top of each threaded rod, a first measuring component being provided in the inner cavity of the box body, and a second measuring component being provided on the front of the box body.
[0006] Preferably, a hand pad is fixedly connected to the top of each handle, and the hand pad is made of rubber.
[0007] Preferably, the first measuring component includes a threaded sleeve rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the box via a bearing and a motor fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the inner cavity of the box. The top of the threaded sleeve has a threaded groove, and the inner cavity of the threaded groove is threadedly connected to a threaded measuring rod, both ends of which extend through the box to the outside. The output shaft of the motor and the middle part of the threaded sleeve are respectively fitted with a first gear and a second gear.
[0008] Preferably, the outer thread of the thread measuring rod is used to observe the depth, the bottom of the thread measuring rod is set in a pointed cone shape, and the first gear and the second gear are meshed and connected.
[0009] Preferably, the second measuring component includes a square plate fixedly connected to the front of the box body, a semi-circular ring fixedly connected to the bottom of the square plate, a plurality of scale lines provided on the front of the semi-circular ring, a T-shaped block fixedly connected to the front of the square plate, a rotating groove provided at the bottom of the T-shaped block, and a pointer rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the rotating groove through a bearing.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the pointer is not on the same horizontal line as the bottom of the support base, and there is a distance between them that is the same depth as the support base.
[0011] Preferably, connecting blocks are fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom of the box body, and scraping blocks are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the connecting blocks. There are four scraping blocks, none of which are in contact with the outer ring of the thread measuring rod.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, the support base contacts the earthwork surface. When it tilts after contact, the pointer will rotate in the tilting direction through the bearing in the inner cavity of the rotating groove. After rotating to the stationary position, the slope can be observed through multiple scale lines on the semi-circular ring. This makes it convenient for users to measure the slope of the earthwork volume. This allows the device to have diverse uses. When the threaded measuring rod is removed from the soil in the earthwork, the sticky soil will be scraped off and cleaned by scraping soil blocks, thus preventing the situation where too much soil sticks to the threaded measuring rod and is difficult for users to clean.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, the output shaft of the motor drives the first gear to rotate. Since the first gear meshes with the second gear, it can then drive the second gear and the threaded sleeve to rotate. When the threaded sleeve rotates, it drives the threaded measuring rod to rotate downward through the threaded groove and enter the soil. After entering, the depth is observed through the outer thread of the threaded measuring rod. This makes it convenient for users to measure the depth of the soil volume of land preparation, thus enabling users to perform automatic depth measurement without manual operation.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] 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.
[0021] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The device for measuring the volume of earthwork in land consolidation shown includes a box body 1. Support seats 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the box body 1. Threaded grooves 3 are opened through the top of the support seats 2. Threaded rods 4 are threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded grooves 3. Handles 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rods 4. A first measuring component is provided in the inner cavity of the box body 1, and a second measuring component is provided on the front of the box body 1.
[0022] Furthermore, a hand pad 6 is fixedly connected to the top of each handle 5. The hand pad 6 is made of rubber. By using the rubber hand pad 6, the user's hand can be protected when the user holds the handle 5 and rotates it to drive the threaded rod 4 to rotate, preventing hard friction between the handle and the user's hand, thereby improving the user's comfort when operating the device.
[0023] Furthermore, the first measuring component includes a threaded sleeve 7 rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the housing 1 via a bearing, and a motor 8 fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The top of the threaded sleeve 7 has a threaded hole 9 through which a threaded measuring rod 10 is threadedly connected, with both ends extending through the housing 1 to the outside. The output shaft of the motor 8 and the middle part of the threaded sleeve 7 are respectively fitted with a first gear 19 and a second gear 20. The outer thread of the threaded measuring rod 10 is used to observe the depth. The bottom of the threaded measuring rod 10 is set in a pointed cone shape. The first gear 19 and the second gear 20 are meshed and connected. With the first measuring component, it is convenient for users to measure the depth of the earthwork volume of land preparation, so that users do not need to perform automatic depth measurement work manually. At the same time, the outer thread of the threaded measuring rod 10 is consistent with the existing measuring rod.
[0024] Furthermore, the second measuring component includes a square plate 11 fixedly connected to the front of the housing 1. A semi-circular ring 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square plate 11. Multiple scale lines 13 are provided on the front of the semi-circular ring 12. A T-shaped block 14 is fixedly connected to the front of the square plate 11. A rotating groove 15 is provided at the bottom of the T-shaped block 14. A pointer 16 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the rotating groove 15 through a bearing. With the provided second measuring component, it is convenient for users to measure the slope of the earthwork volume of land preparation, thereby enabling the device to have diversified use effects.
[0025] Furthermore, the bottom of the pointer 16 is not set at the same horizontal line as the bottom of the support 2, and there is a distance between them that is the same depth as the support 2. By setting the bottom of the pointer 16 at the same horizontal line as the bottom of the support 2, and there is a distance between them that is the same depth as the support 2, it is possible to prevent the pointer 16 from contacting the soil and causing obstruction when it rotates through the bearing to observe the slope angle.
[0026] Furthermore, connecting blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the box 1 on all four sides, and scraper blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the connecting blocks 17. There are four scraper blocks 18, none of which are in contact with the outer ring of the threaded measuring rod 10. The scraper blocks 18 can scrape off and clean the soil adhering to the threaded measuring rod 10 when it is removed from the soil of the land preparation, thereby preventing the situation where too much soil is adhering to the threaded measuring rod 10 and is difficult for personnel to clean.
[0027] In practical implementation, the device is first positioned at the location where the required earthwork volume needs to be measured. After moving it to a suitable position, the handle 5 is grasped and rotated to drive the threaded rod 4 downward into the soil within the corresponding threaded groove 3, thus securing the device. The rubber hand pad 6 protects the user's hands during handle 5 rotation, preventing damage from hard contact and friction. After securing, the output shaft of the motor 8 drives the first gear 19 to rotate. Since the first gear 19 meshes with the second gear 20, it in turn drives the second gear 20 and the threaded sleeve 7 to rotate. As the threaded sleeve 7 rotates, it drives the threaded measuring rod 10 downward through the threaded hole 9, penetrating the soil. The depth is then observed through the outer thread of the threaded measuring rod 10, allowing the user to easily measure the earthwork volume. The device measures the depth of earthwork volume during land preparation, eliminating the need for manual measurement. The outer thread of the threaded measuring rod 10 is identical to existing measuring rods. It then contacts the earthwork surface via the support base 2. When tilted after contact, the pointer 16 rotates in the tilted direction via the bearing within the rotating groove 15. After reaching a stationary position, the slope is observed via multiple scale lines 13 on the semicircular ring 12, facilitating slope measurement. This allows for diverse applications. Furthermore, when the threaded measuring rod 10 is removed from the soil, a scraper 18 removes any adhering soil, preventing excessive soil buildup that would be difficult for users to clean.
[0028] 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.
