Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gap measurement technology, and in particular to an adjustable gap measurement mechanism for construction of enclosure structures. Background Technology
[0002] Enclosure refers to structures or measures installed during construction, civil engineering, and related construction processes to ensure the safety and stability of the construction area, or to prevent the impact of the external environment on the construction or structure, for isolation, support, enclosure, or protection. Enclosures can be divided into permanent enclosures and temporary enclosures, and common forms include retaining walls, foundation pit supports, retaining walls, and fencing facilities. Their main functions are to support the surrounding soil, prevent soil collapse, avoid groundwater seepage or loss, and block dust, noise, and other disturbances to the external environment.
[0003] In the construction of deep foundation pit support and various retaining structures, accurate measurement of gap dimensions is a crucial step in ensuring construction quality and structural performance. However, currently used gap measurement equipment has significant limitations. On the one hand, these devices have relatively fixed structures and limited measuring ranges, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to the specific dimensions of the retaining components and the complex and ever-changing construction environment, resulting in a trade-off between measurement accuracy and efficiency. On the other hand, they cannot adjust their own support status according to actual usage conditions, which makes the equipment prone to measurement deviations due to displacement or sliding during the measurement process, thus limiting their practical application.
[0004] Based on this, we propose an adjustable gap measuring mechanism for the construction of enclosure structures to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of the present invention, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents, and such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable gap measuring mechanism for the construction of enclosure structures, which can solve the problems of existing gap measuring equipment being unable to be flexibly adjusted due to its fixed structure and limited range, and being unable to adjust its own support state according to actual use, thus causing measurement deviations.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides an adjustable gap measuring mechanism for the construction of enclosure structures, which adopts the following technical solution: it includes a support frame, and the inside of the support frame is connected to a positive and negative screw through a bearing. A measuring and adjusting component is provided at the bottom of the support frame near the positive and negative screw, and gap measuring components are respectively provided at both ends of the measuring and adjusting component.
[0008] The measurement and adjustment assembly includes two sets of first connectors, which are installed at both ends of the positive and negative screws, and a second connector is provided between the bottoms of the two sets of first connectors.
[0009] Optionally, the second connector includes a gap measuring plate, a first hinge seat is mounted on the top of the gap measuring plate, a measuring scale is provided on one side of the gap measuring plate, and a first guide ring is respectively mounted on both ends of the gap measuring plate.
[0010] Optionally, the first connector includes a second hinge seat, and a support arm plate is hinged between each of the two sets of second hinge seats and the first hinge seat. The middle part of each of the two sets of second hinge seats is provided with a positive and negative screw hole, which matches the positive and negative screw structure. The positive and negative screw holes and the positive and negative screws are threaded together. A second guide ring is also installed on the top of each of the two sets of second hinge seats.
[0011] Optionally, a first sliding rod is connected to the top of the support frame, and a second sliding rod is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the support frame. Anti-slip toothed plates are damped and hinged to the bottom of both sides of the support frame, and two sets of universal wheels are respectively connected to one side of the two sets of anti-slip toothed plates.
[0012] Optionally, the first slide rod and the second guide ring are structurally matched, and the second slide rod and the first guide ring are in a sliding fit.
[0013] Optionally, the gap measuring component includes a U-bolt that matches the structure of the gap measuring plate. A fixing screw is threaded to the top of the U-bolt, and a positioning seat is slidably connected to one end of the U-bolt. Laser spotlights are also installed at both ends of the positioning seat.
[0014] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The gap measuring device designed in this scheme moves the first connecting piece up and down by rotating the positive and negative screws, which in turn drives the overall movement of the measuring and adjusting components, realizing the lifting and lowering of the gap measuring plate. At the same time, the gap measuring component is slidably connected to both ends of the gap measuring plate. When the gap measuring plate is adjusted to a suitable height, the gap measuring component can contact the retaining ground of the gap to be detected and use the laser spotlight on it for detection. The user can accurately measure the width of the crack in the retaining ground by observing the distance between the two sets of laser spotlights. This effectively solves the problem of insufficient measurement accuracy caused by the large distance between the gap measuring plate and the crack in the retaining ground, realizing high-precision measurement and providing reliable data support for construction quality control.
[0016] 2. The gap measurement equipment designed in this scheme achieves stable support and flexible movement by installing damped hinged anti-slip toothed plates on both sides of the bottom of the support frame. When performing gap measurement with laser spotlights, the anti-slip toothed plates are flipped and adjusted to ensure close contact with the ground, thereby preventing displacement or slippage of the support frame during measurement, reducing measurement deviation, and ensuring the reliability of measurement data. When the gap measurement is completed, the anti-slip toothed plates are flipped and adjusted again so that the side equipped with casters contacts the ground. The flexibility of the casters allows for easy directional movement of the entire equipment to measure gaps in other enclosure structures on the construction site. This design effectively enhances the flexibility and practicality of the equipment in the field of gap measurement technology, enabling rapid site transfer for measurement, adapting to complex construction environments, meeting diverse measurement needs, greatly improving work efficiency, and saving manpower and time costs.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an adjustable gap measuring mechanism for construction of enclosure structures, including a support frame 1. A positive and negative screw 2 is connected to the inside of the support frame 1 via bearings. A measuring and adjusting assembly 3 is located near the bottom of the support frame 1 close to the positive and negative screw 2. Gap measuring components 4 are respectively located at both ends of the measuring and adjusting assembly 3. The measuring and adjusting assembly 3 includes two sets of first connecting parts 5, which are installed at both ends of the positive and negative screw 2. A second connecting part 6 is located between the bottoms of the two sets of first connecting parts 5. The gap measuring device moves the first connecting parts 5, which are threadedly engaged with the positive and negative screw 2, up and down, thereby moving the measuring and adjusting assembly 3 as a whole. This allows for the adjustment of the gap measuring plate 7. The gap measuring components 4 are slidably connected to both ends of the gap measuring plate 7. When the gap measuring plate 7 is adjusted to… After reaching a suitable height, the gap measuring component 4 can contact the enclosure ground to be inspected and use the laser spotlight 22 on it for detection. The user can calculate the width of the crack in the enclosure ground by observing the distance between the two sets of spotlights, which effectively solves the problem of insufficient measurement accuracy caused by the large distance between the gap measuring plate 7 and the crack in the enclosure ground. The second connecting component 6 includes the gap measuring plate 7. The top of the gap measuring plate 7 is equipped with a first hinge seat 8. A measuring scale 9 is set on one side of the gap measuring plate 7. The two ends of the gap measuring plate 7 are also equipped with first guide rings 10. By adding the first guide rings 10 to the two ends of the gap measuring plate 7, a sliding fit can be formed with the second slide rods 16 on both sides of the inner wall of the support frame 1, ensuring that the gap measuring plate 7 maintains a stable trajectory during lifting or extension, and realizing the smooth progress of the measurement process.
[0025] The first connecting member 5 includes a second hinge seat 11. Support arm plates 12 are hinged to both sets of second hinge seats 11 and the first hinge seat 8. The middle portions of both sets of second hinge seats 11 are respectively provided with through-holes 13, which are structurally matched with the through-holes 2. The through-holes 13 and through-holes 2 are threadedly engaged. Second guide rings 14 are also installed on the top of each set of second hinge seats 11. These guide rings 14 can slide against the first sliding rod 15 on the top of the support frame 1, achieving precise guidance and stable support for the movement trajectory of the measuring and adjusting component 3, ensuring the stability of the equipment during the measurement process and the accuracy of the measurement results. To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, a first sliding rod 15 is connected to the top of the support frame 1, and a second sliding rod 16 is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the support frame 1. Anti-slip toothed plates 17 are damped and hinged to the bottom of both sides of the support frame 1. Two sets of universal wheels 18 are also connected to one side of each of the two sets of anti-slip toothed plates 17. By using the anti-slip toothed plates 17 damped and hinged to the bottom of both sides of the support frame 1, the anti-slip toothed plates 17 can be flipped to contact the ground during measurement, providing stable support force and preventing the equipment from shifting or sliding during the measurement process, thus achieving high measurement accuracy. By using the universal wheels 18 installed on one side of the anti-slip toothed plates 17, the entire equipment can be easily moved after the measurement work is completed, enabling a quick transfer to other measurement positions.
[0026] The first slide rod 15 is structurally matched with the second guide ring 14, and the second slide rod 16 is slidably fitted with the first guide ring 10. The matching structure of the first slide rod 15 and the second guide ring 14 provides longitudinal sliding guidance and support for the measuring adjustment component 3, ensuring its stable vertical movement and enabling precise lifting and lowering adjustment of the measuring component. The sliding fit between the second slide rod 16 and the first guide ring 10 provides a lateral sliding track and support for the gap measuring plate 7, ensuring its stable horizontal extension and retraction and enabling precise adjustment of the measuring position. The gap measuring component 4 includes a U-bolt 19, which is structurally matched with the gap measuring plate 7. The top of the U-bolt 19 is screwed... The U-bolt 19 is connected to a fixed screw 20, and one end of the U-bolt 19 is slidably connected to a positioning seat 21. Laser spotlights 22 are installed at both ends of the positioning seat 21. The clamping force between the U-bolt 19 and the gap measuring plate 7 can be flexibly adjusted by the fixed screw 20 threaded to the top of the U-bolt 19. This allows the gap measuring component 4 to be firmly supported after installation and can be loosened and adjusted as needed, enabling precise positioning and convenient disassembly of the gap measuring component 4. The laser spotlights 22 installed at both ends of the positioning seat 21 can provide high-intensity, directional lighting at the gap, enabling clear marking and visual positioning of the edges of cracks in the enclosure wall or ground, thereby accurately measuring the crack width and improving measurement accuracy.
[0027] Working Principle: The gap measuring device designed in this scheme mainly consists of a support frame 1, positive and negative screws 2, a measuring and adjusting assembly 3, and a gap measuring component 4. The measuring and adjusting assembly 3 includes a first connecting piece 5 and a second connecting piece 6. Through the structural matching of the first sliding rod 15 and the second guide ring 14, and the threaded engagement between the positive and negative screw holes 13 and the positive and negative screws 2, the height of the gap measuring plate 7 can be adjusted. Specifically, by rotating the positive and negative screws 2, the first connecting piece 5 with which it is threaded moves up and down, which can drive the overall movement of the measuring and adjusting assembly 3, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the gap measuring plate 7. The gap measuring component 4 is slidably connected to both ends of the gap measuring plate 7. When the gap measuring plate 7 is adjusted to a suitable height, the gap measuring component 4 can contact the retaining ground of the gap to be detected and use the laser spotlight 22 on it for detection. The user can calculate the width of the crack in the retaining ground by observing the distance between the two sets of spotlights, effectively solving the problem of insufficient measurement accuracy caused by the large distance between the gap measuring plate 7 and the crack in the retaining ground.
[0028] The gap measuring device designed in this scheme uses anti-slip toothed plates 17 with damping hinges on both sides of the bottom of the support frame 1. When performing gap measurement work with the laser spotlight 22, the anti-slip toothed plates 17 can be flipped and adjusted to make them contact the ground support, thereby preventing the support frame 1 from shifting or sliding during the measurement process and reducing measurement deviation. When the gap measurement work is finished, the anti-slip toothed plates 17 are flipped and adjusted again so that the side equipped with universal wheels 18 contacts the ground support. At this time, with the flexibility of the universal wheels 18, the entire support frame 1, which is equipped with positive and negative screws 2, measurement adjustment components 3 and gap measuring components 4, can be easily moved in position to facilitate gap measurement of other enclosure structures on the construction site.

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.
