Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of supports, and more particularly to a mounting bracket for an inclinometer. Background Technology

[0002] An inclinometer is an instrument used to measure the tilt angle and displacement of engineering structures (such as boreholes, foundation pits, and foundations). It is mainly divided into portable and fixed inclinometers, and is widely used in fields such as water conservancy and hydropower, mining and metallurgy, transportation, and urban construction to monitor horizontal displacement and engineering safety in deep underground soil and rock layers.

[0003] The utility model patent with announcement number CN219869669U discloses a portable inclinometer, including a base plate. A bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base plate. The instrument body is placed on the top of the base plate. A drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the bracket and is fixedly connected to a twisted wire reel. A cable is wound on the twisted wire reel. A probe is provided at one end of the cable. A recessed frame is fixedly connected to the twisted wire reel. A stud is threaded through the recessed frame.

[0004] One of the portable inclinometers mentioned above places the instrument body on a base plate and can be removed directly when in use. However, during movement, shaking or other situations may cause the instrument body to fall, resulting in damage from impacts. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a mounting bracket for an inclinometer.

[0006] The inclinometer mounting bracket provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A clinometer mounting bracket includes a base and a cable. The base has a clinometer body mounted on it, a winding assembly for winding the cable, and a limiting assembly for preventing the clinometer body from moving. The limiting assembly includes four slots formed on the upper surface of the base. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to each slot, and an L-shaped clamp is fitted onto each fixing rod. The L-shaped clamps are located on the four sides of the clinometer body, and a first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each L-shaped clamp. The end of the first spring away from the L-shaped clamp is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the slot.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the first spring pushes the L-shaped clamps, causing them to swing on the fixed rod. This unfolds the four L-shaped clamps, causing their bottom ends to tilt upwards and extend into the slots. The inclinometer body is then placed between the four L-shaped clamps, with the bottom end of the inclinometer body abutting against the bottom ends of the four L-shaped clamps. Under the weight of the inclinometer body, the L-shaped clamps are pressed down, causing the first spring to contract and bringing the L-shaped clamps closer together to fit against the side wall of the inclinometer body. This limits the movement of the inclinometer body, minimizing the risk of shaking during movement and potentially causing it to fall and be damaged by impacts.

[0009] Preferably, the winding assembly includes an L-shaped support plate fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the base. A drive motor is installed on one side wall of the L-shaped support plate. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The end of the rotating shaft away from the drive motor passes through the L-shaped support plate. The cable is wound on the rotating shaft. A connector is fixedly connected to one end of the cable, and a probe is fixedly connected to the other end of the cable. A clamping assembly for fixing the connector is provided on the rotating shaft.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector is connected to the inclinometer body, and then the cable is removed from the rotating shaft for measurement. After the measurement is completed, the connector is removed, fixed to the rotating shaft by the clamping assembly, and then the drive motor is started to wind up the cable.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a fixed disk sleeved on the rotating shaft, the fixed disk being fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a U-shaped plate being fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed disk near the cable, an arc-shaped pressure block being provided inside the U-shaped plate, a threaded rod being rotatably connected to one side wall of the arc-shaped pressure block, and the other end of the threaded rod passing through the U-shaped plate to form a threaded connection.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector is inserted into the U-shaped plate, and the threaded rod is rotated to push the arc-shaped pressure block to move, so that the connector is abutted against the arc-shaped pressure block and the fixed plate, thereby installing and fixing the connector and preventing it from moving.

[0013] Preferably, the upper surface of the L-shaped support plate is provided with a receiving groove for placing the probe. The side walls of the receiving groove are provided with sliding grooves. Abutment blocks are slidably arranged in each sliding groove. Multiple second springs are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two abutment blocks. The end of the second spring away from the abutment block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding groove. The top of the side wall of the opposite side of the two abutment blocks is inclined.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, during handling or storage, the probe is placed in the receiving groove, and by pressing the probe, the two abutment blocks are pushed apart. The second spring pushes the abutment blocks, which can fix the probe in the receiving groove and prevent the probe from shaking during movement and causing damage due to collision.

[0015] Preferably, the two abutting blocks are each fixedly connected to a rubber block on one of their opposite sidewalls to increase friction.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction between the contact block and the probe can be increased by using the rubber block, thereby improving the stability of the probe.

[0017] Preferably, both ends of the arc-shaped pressure block are fixedly connected to connecting plates, and a positioning rod is provided on one side of the connecting plate. One end of the positioning rod is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate, and the other end of the positioning rod passes through the connecting plate and is fixedly connected to the fixing plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting plate can slide on the positioning rod, which can prevent the arc-shaped pressure block from rotating together when the threaded rod is rotated.

[0019] Preferably, the lower surface of the base is equipped with multiple casters for easy movement.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the device can be easily moved using casters, thus improving its convenience.

[0021] 1. This application utilizes the cooperative arrangement of the slot, fixing rod, and first spring to achieve the following: During use, the first spring pushes the L-shaped clamps, causing them to swing on the fixing rod. This unfolds the four L-shaped clamps, causing their bottom ends to lift and extend out of the slot. The inclinometer body is then placed between the four L-shaped clamps, with the bottom end of the inclinometer body abutting against the bottom ends of the four L-shaped clamps. Under the weight of the inclinometer body, the L-shaped clamps are pressed down, causing the first spring to contract and bringing the L-shaped clamps closer together to fit against the side wall of the inclinometer body. This limits the movement of the inclinometer body and minimizes the risk of it shaking during movement, which could cause the instrument body to fall and be damaged by impact.

[0022] 2. During handling or storage, the probe is placed in the receiving groove. By pressing the probe, the two abutment blocks are pushed apart. The second spring pushes the abutment blocks to abut the probe in the receiving groove, thus fixing the probe in place and preventing it from shaking or colliding and being damaged during movement.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a fixed bracket for an inclinometer.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A mounting bracket for an inclinometer includes a base 1 and a cable 2. The base 1 is provided with an inclinometer body 3, a winding assembly for winding the cable 2, and a limiting assembly for preventing the inclinometer body 3 from moving. The limiting assembly includes four slots 4 formed on the upper surface of the base 1. A fixing rod 5 is fixedly connected to each slot 4. An L-shaped clamp 6 is fitted on each fixing rod 5. The L-shaped clamp 6 is located on the four sides of the inclinometer body 3. A first spring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each L-shaped clamp 6. The end of the first spring 7 away from the L-shaped clamp 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the slot 4.

[0031] Reference Figure 1The winding assembly includes an L-shaped support plate 8 fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the base 1. A drive motor 9 is installed on one side wall of the L-shaped support plate 8. A rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 9. The end of the rotating shaft 10 away from the drive motor 9 passes through the L-shaped support plate 8. The cable 2 is wound around the rotating shaft 10. A connector 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the cable 2, and a probe 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the cable 2. A clamping assembly for fixing the connector 11 is provided on the rotating shaft 10. The connector 11 is connected to the inclinometer body 3, and then the cable 2 is removed from the rotating shaft 10 for measurement. After the measurement is completed, the connector 11 is removed from the inclinometer body 3 and fixed to the rotating shaft 10 by the clamping assembly. Then the drive motor 9 is started to wind up the cable 2.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The clamping assembly includes a fixed plate 13 sleeved on the rotating shaft 10. The fixed plate 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10. A U-shaped plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 13 near the cable 2. An arc-shaped pressure block 15 is provided inside the U-shaped plate 14. A threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected to one side wall of the arc-shaped pressure block 15. The other end of the threaded rod 16 passes through the U-shaped plate 14 and forms a threaded connection. By inserting the connector 11 into the U-shaped plate 14 and rotating the threaded rod 16, the threaded rod 16 pushes the arc-shaped pressure block 15 to move, so that the connector 11 abuts against the arc-shaped pressure block 15 and the fixed plate 13, thereby installing and fixing the connector 11 and preventing the connector 11 from moving.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The upper surface of the L-shaped support plate 8 is provided with a receiving groove 17 for placing the probe 12. The side walls of the receiving groove 17 are provided with sliding grooves 18. Abutment blocks 19 are slidably arranged in each sliding groove 18. Multiple second springs 20 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two abutment blocks 19. The end of the second spring 20 away from the abutment block 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding groove 18. The top of the side wall of the opposite side of the two abutment blocks 19 is inclined. When transporting or storing, by placing the probe 12 in the receiving groove 17 and pressing the probe 12, the probe 12 pushes the two abutment blocks 19 apart. The second springs 20 push the abutment blocks 19 to abut the probe 12 in the receiving groove 17, fixing the probe 12 and preventing the probe 12 from shaking and colliding during movement, which could cause damage.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 Each of the two abutting blocks 19 has a rubber block 21 fixedly connected to one of its opposite sidewalls to increase friction. The rubber block 21 can increase the friction when the abutting block 19 abuts the probe 12, thereby improving the stability of the probe 12.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Both ends of the arc-shaped pressure block 15 are fixedly connected to connecting plates 22. A positioning rod 23 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 22. One end of the positioning rod 23 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 14, and the other end of the positioning rod 23 passes through the connecting plate 22 and is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 13. By sliding the connecting plate 22 on the positioning rod 23, it can prevent the arc-shaped pressure block 15 from rotating together when the threaded rod 16 is rotated.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The lower surface of the base 1 is equipped with multiple casters 24 for easy movement, which facilitates the movement of the device and improves its convenience.

[0037] The implementation principle of the inclinometer fixing bracket in this embodiment is as follows: In use, the first spring 7 pushes the L-shaped clamps 6, causing them to swing on the fixing rod 5. This unfolds the four L-shaped clamps 6, causing their bottom ends to tilt upwards and extend into the slot 4. Then, the inclinometer body 3 is placed between the four L-shaped clamps 6, so that the bottom end of the inclinometer body 3 abuts against the bottom ends of the four L-shaped clamps 6. Under the weight of the inclinometer body 3, the L-shaped clamps 6 are pressed down, causing the first spring 7 to contract. This brings the L-shaped clamps 6 closer together and into contact with the side wall of the inclinometer body 3, thus limiting the position of the inclinometer body 3. During transport or storage, the connector 11 is inserted into the U-shaped plate 14, and the bracket is rotated... The threaded rod 16 is moved to push the arc-shaped pressure block 15, causing the connector 11 to abut against the arc-shaped pressure block 15 and the fixed plate 13, thus fixing the connector 11 and preventing it from moving. The probe 12 is placed in the receiving groove 17, and by pressing the probe 12, the probe 12 pushes the two abutment blocks 19 apart. The second spring 20 pushes the abutment blocks 19, fixing the probe 12 in place in the receiving groove 17 and preventing the connector 11 and probe 12 from shaking and colliding during movement, thus avoiding potential damage. This minimizes the risk of the instrument falling and being damaged by impacts during movement.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
