Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water gauge technology, and in particular to a pull-out stainless steel water gauge. Background Technology

[0002] A water level gauge is a simple measuring tool used to visually measure the height of liquid. With its simple structure, low cost, and easy operation, it is widely used in scenarios that require monitoring the depth or height of liquid. Its core function is to provide accurate liquid level data support for production, living, and ecological management.

[0003] According to the public announcement (CN216448990U), a stainless steel water gauge is disclosed. This technology discloses a water gauge body, one end of which is fixedly connected to a limiting plate. The limiting plate has the same cross-sectional shape as the water gauge body. A liquid storage tank is provided on the side of the limiting plate away from the water gauge body. The liquid storage tank extends into the water gauge body in a funnel shape. The water gauge body has multiple liquid outlet holes, which are all inclined and interconnected. The multiple liquid outlet holes penetrate the side wall of the water gauge body and are connected to the liquid storage tank. A cleaning mechanism is sleeved on the water gauge body and is slidably connected to the water gauge body. This technical solution has the technical effects of being able to clean the surface of the water gauge, facilitating the cleaning operation, and ensuring normal use in the future.

[0004] However, in the aforementioned comparative documents, the water gauge has a fixed size and can only be used for measurements within a limited range. In waters with large water level fluctuations, it is necessary to replace the water gauge with one of different lengths, which increases the measurement cost. While longer water gauges can be used for measurements in deeper waters, they present the practical problem of being inconvenient to carry.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a pull-out stainless steel water level gauge. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pull-out stainless steel water gauge.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a pull-out stainless steel water level gauge, including a main scale, a secondary scale slidably connected inside the main scale, and a pull-out mechanism provided inside the main scale. The pull-out mechanism includes an elastic steel plate, a telescopic clamp, an extrusion arc surface, a stretching groove, a contraction groove, a sliding column, a sliding groove, a pull rod, and a first pull ring. The surface of the elastic steel plate is slidably connected to the main scale, the side end of the telescopic clamp is fixedly connected to the elastic steel plate, the extrusion arc surface is formed at the bottom of the side end of the telescopic clamp, the stretching groove is formed at the bottom of the side end of the secondary scale, the contraction groove is formed at the top of the side end of the secondary scale, and the surface of the telescopic clamp is slidably connected to the contraction groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the side end of the pull rod is fixedly connected to the elastic steel plate, the surface of the pull rod is slidably connected to the main scale, and the side end of the first pull ring is fixedly connected to the pull rod. This arrangement allows the auxiliary scale to quickly retract into the main scale and be fixed.

[0009] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main ruler, and a hand groove is provided at the upper end of the handle, which enhances the comfort of using the water gauge.

[0010] Furthermore, the handle is internally provided with an extension mechanism, which includes a locking post, a plug-in locking head, a slide, a spring, and a plug-in locking slot. This design allows multiple water gauges to be joined together, extending the overall length.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the locking pin is slidably connected to the handle, the side end of the insertion head is fixedly connected to the locking pin, and the side end of the slide block is fixedly connected to the locking pin. This arrangement allows the locking pin to drive the insertion head to slide within the handle.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixed end of the spring is fixedly connected to the handle, and the end of the spring is fixedly connected to the slide block, so that the slide block can move under the action of the spring.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the plug-in head is slidably connected to the vernier scale, and the plug-in slot is opened at the upper end of the vernier scale. This configuration allows the plug-in head to fix the vernier scale through the plug-in slot, and also allows the plug-in head to release the vernier scale from the vernier scale through the vernier scale.

[0014] Furthermore, a baffle is rotatably connected to the lower end of the handle, a soft plug is fixedly connected to the upper end of the baffle, and a second pull ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the baffle. This arrangement allows the extension mechanism to be shielded, preventing dust particles from entering and hindering the extension.

[0015] This utility model provides a pull-out stainless steel water level gauge. It has the following advantages:

[0016] By stretching the top of the secondary ruler outwards and utilizing the positioning effect of the clamp on the stretching and shrinking grooves, the size of the water gauge can be shrunk when carried and stretched when used, thereby improving portability and expanding the scope of application of the water gauge.

[0017] When a single water gauge, even after extension, is still insufficient to meet the required length for water area measurement, an extension mechanism can be used to splice multiple water gauges together to extend the overall length, thereby further increasing the measurement range of the water gauge.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown: This utility model provides a technical solution: a pull-out stainless steel water level gauge, including a main gauge 1, with a secondary gauge 2 slidably connected inside the main gauge 1. The main gauge 1 and the secondary gauge 2 are adapted to each other. A pull-out mechanism is provided inside the main gauge 1. The pull-out mechanism includes an elastic steel plate 3, a telescopic clamp 4, a pressing arc surface 5, a stretching groove 6, a shrinking groove 7, a sliding column 8, a sliding groove 9, a pull rod 10, and a first pull ring 11. The surface of the elastic steel plate 3 is slidably connected to the main gauge 1. Two elastic steel plates 3 are symmetrically arranged inside the main gauge 1. The side end of the telescopic clamp 4 is fixedly connected to the elastic steel plate 3. The pressing arc surface 5 is opened at the bottom of the side end of the telescopic clamp 4. The pressing arc surface 5 causes the telescopic clamp 4 to move outward. The measuring tape has a stretching groove 6 located at the bottom of the side end of the secondary scale 2, and a retracting groove 7 located at the top of the side end of the secondary scale 2. The surface of the telescopic head 4 is slidably connected to the retracting groove 7. The telescopic head 4 is adapted to the stretching groove 6 and the retracting groove 7 respectively, stretching the end of the secondary scale 2 outward. This causes the retracting groove 7 to press the telescopic head 4 outward through the extrusion arc surface 5, allowing the secondary scale 2 to extend smoothly from the main scale 1. After the telescopic head 4 is aligned with the stretching groove 6, it is inserted under the push of the sliding column 8. Through the pull-out mechanism, the size of the measuring tape can be retracted when carried and extended when used, thereby improving portability and expanding the applicability of the measuring tape.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown: The side end of the pull rod 10 is fixedly connected to the elastic steel plate 3, the surface of the pull rod 10 is slidably connected to the main scale 1, the outer circumference of the pull rod 10 is equal to the inner circumference of the main scale 1, the side end of the first pull ring 11 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 10, when the auxiliary scale 2 needs to be retracted, the first pull ring 11 is pulled outward, the first pull ring 11 drives the telescopic head 4 to move outward through the pull rod 10 so that the auxiliary scale 2 is released from the restraint of the telescopic head 4, and then the auxiliary scale 2 is retracted until the telescopic head 4 is inserted into the retraction slot 7 again. By setting, the auxiliary scale 2 can be quickly retracted into the main scale 1.

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown: The lower end of the main ruler 1 is fixedly connected to a handle 12, and the upper end of the handle 12 is provided with a hand groove 13. When in use, the ruler can be held by the handle 12, and the hand groove 13 is used to prevent the ruler from slipping after the surface of the ruler comes into contact with the liquid, thus enhancing the comfort of using the ruler.

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown: The handle 12 is equipped with an extension mechanism, which includes a locking post 14, a plug-in locking head 15, a slide 16, a spring 17, and a plug-in locking slot 18. When a single water gauge still cannot meet the required length for water measurement after being extended, multiple water gauges can be spliced ​​together using the extension mechanism to extend the overall length.

[0030] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown: the surface of the locking post 14 is slidably connected to the handle 12, the outer circumference of the locking post 14 is equal to the inner circumference of the handle 12, the side end of the insertion head 15 is fixedly connected to the locking post 14, the side end of the slide 16 is fixedly connected to the locking post 14, and the locking post 14 moves within the handle 12, thereby driving the insertion head 15 to slide and extend.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown: the fixed end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the handle 12, and the end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the slide 16. When the slide 16 slides outward, it compresses the spring 17 and moves inward under the push of the spring 17.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown: The surface of the insertion head 15 is slidably connected to the auxiliary ruler 2. The insertion slot 18 is opened at the upper end of the auxiliary ruler 2. When the auxiliary ruler 2 is inserted from below, the insertion head 15 can fix the auxiliary ruler 2 through the insertion slot 18. When the auxiliary ruler 2 is retracted from above, the auxiliary ruler 2 can also squeeze the insertion head 15, causing the locking post 14 to move and thereby releasing the locking post 14 from fixing the auxiliary ruler 2.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown: A baffle 19 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the handle 12. The handle 12 is adapted to the baffle 19. A soft plug 20 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the baffle 19. A second pull ring 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the baffle 19. Pulling the baffle 19 outward and rotating it through the second pull ring 21 can expose the extension mechanism for multiple water level connections. The extension mechanism can be covered by the baffle 19 and fixed by the soft plug 20 to prevent dust particles from entering and obstructing the extension.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown:

[0036] In use: Stretch the top of the auxiliary ruler 2 outwards, so that the retractable groove 7, through the squeezing arc surface 5, presses the telescopic head 4 outwards, allowing the auxiliary ruler 2 to extend smoothly from the main ruler 1. After the telescopic head 4 is aligned with the retractable groove 6, it is inserted under the push of the sliding column 8. When it is necessary to retract the auxiliary ruler 2, pull the first pull ring 11 outwards. The first pull ring 11 drives the telescopic head 4 outwards through the pull rod 10, so that the auxiliary ruler 2 is freed from the restraint of the telescopic head 4. Then retract the auxiliary ruler 2 until the telescopic head 4 is inserted into the retractable groove 7 again. By setting it up, the auxiliary ruler 2 can be quickly retracted into the main ruler 1. Through the pull mechanism, the size of the water gauge can be retracted when carried and extended when used, thereby improving portability and expanding the application range of the water gauge.

[0037] When the extended length of the auxiliary ruler 2 is still insufficient to meet the measurement requirements, firstly, pull the baffle 19 outward and rotate it through the second pull ring 21 to expose the bottom interface of the handle 12. Align the top groove of one water gauge auxiliary ruler 2 with the bottom of the handle 12 of the other water gauge and insert it. Then, press the insertion clip 15 outward. When the insertion clip 15 aligns with the insertion slot 18, it resets under the push of the spring 17 and is inserted into the insertion slot 18, thus achieving the mutual fixation effect of the two water gauges. When it is necessary to unbind, retract the bottom of the auxiliary ruler 2 to press the insertion slot 18, so that the arc surface of the insertion slot 18 contacts the outside of the insertion slot 18 again. This allows the auxiliary ruler 2 of the other water gauge to be pulled out directly, thus unbinding it. When a single water gauge still cannot meet the required length for water measurement after extension, multiple water gauges can be spliced ​​together using the extension mechanism to extend the overall length.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
