Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction engineering, specifically a double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction. Background Technology
[0002] Surveying and setting out is a crucial step in the construction of large-space projects. Large-space projects are widely found in road and municipal engineering, airport runways and aprons, etc. These projects typically have large construction areas and high requirements for setting out. Compared to the actual construction, surveying and setting out carries a larger weight in these projects and is a key step in ensuring construction quality.
[0003] In traditional construction, surveying and setting out mainly relies on ordinary chalk lines. However, traditional chalk lines have significant drawbacks: after each setting out, the chalk line needs to be rewound and re-inked, a time-consuming process that severely impacts construction efficiency. This drawback is particularly pronounced in large-space projects where the setting-out distances are long. Furthermore, the frequent operation increases the labor intensity for workers. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction, which solves the problems of long construction period, ink waste and low efficiency caused by the frequent use of ordinary ink fountains in the measurement and positioning of large-space engineering projects.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] A double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction is characterized by comprising an ink fountain box and an absorbent sponge. The ink fountain box is generally elliptical with conical ends, and is divided into two detachable parts: an ink fountain cover and an ink fountain groove. The ink fountain groove has a slot inside. The absorbent sponge fills the ink fountain groove and has gaps on it that match the slots and the space of the ink fountain line. The ink fountain line passes through the absorbent sponge and extends from both ends of the ink fountain box.
[0007] The aforementioned double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction is characterized in that: the ink fountain cover and the ink fountain groove are connected by threads.
[0008] The aforementioned double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction is characterized in that: the slot is arranged along the length direction of the ink fountain groove, and the depth of the slot is greater than the diameter of the ink fountain line.
[0009] The aforementioned double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction is characterized in that: the vacant portion of the absorbent sponge includes:
[0010] The first gap is used to avoid collisions with the slot;
[0011] The second gap is used to avoid spatial collisions with the ink line, and the second gap extends through the upper part of the absorbent sponge, providing feasibility for the installation of the ink line.
[0012] The aforementioned double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction is characterized in that: the length of the ink fountain box is 20-30cm.
[0013] The aforementioned double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction is characterized in that: the ink fountain box is equipped with a bidirectional winding mechanism, which includes two winding devices, each winding device being connected to one end of the ink fountain line, and each winding device including a winding shaft and a spring tension device or ratchet mechanism, for realizing the function of releasing the line at one end and automatically retracting the line at the other end.
[0014] The aforementioned double-outlet ink fountain line-laying device for large-space construction is characterized in that: the two ends of the ink fountain box are respectively provided with outlets, the ink fountain line extends from the outlets, and the shape and size of the outlets are adapted to the ink fountain line to ensure that the ink fountain line can smoothly enter and exit.
[0015] The aforementioned double-outlet ink fountain line laying device for large-space construction is characterized in that: during the pulling out and retraction process, the ink fountain line passes through the second gap of the absorbent sponge, which provides the ink fountain line with cleaning and uniform ink application while preventing the ink fountain line from colliding with the absorbent sponge.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a double ink fountain line laying device for large-space construction. Through the unique double ink fountain design, the automatic laying and ink dipping of the ink fountain line is realized, which greatly improves the laying efficiency. It not only shortens the laying time and reduces the labor intensity, but also provides more adjustment time for the construction of other processes, which helps to improve the overall construction efficiency and quality.
[0017] This application effectively prevents ink leakage and waste during construction due to the large amount of ink added; the space design of the absorbent sponge effectively stores ink and provides ink to the ink fountain line; and the dual-outlet function of the ink fountain line greatly saves the time required for retracting and extending the ink fountain line during construction, thus improving work efficiency.

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the side elevation section.

[0022] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the side profile of an absorbent sponge. Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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, not all, of the embodiments of this application. 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 claimed in this application.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown: A double-outlet ink fountain line laying device for large-space construction includes an ink fountain box 1 and an absorbent sponge 2. The ink fountain box is generally elliptical with conical ends. The ink fountain box is divided into two detachable parts: an ink fountain cover 11 and an ink fountain groove 12. The ink fountain groove 12 has a slot 121 inside. The absorbent sponge 2 fills the ink fountain groove 12. The absorbent sponge 2 has a gap that matches the space of the slot 121 and the ink fountain line 3. The ink fountain line 3 passes through the absorbent sponge 2 and extends from both ends of the ink fountain box 1.
[0025] Using a double-ended ink fountain box, when one end is pulled, the ink line at the other end is retracted. The ink line, freshly dipped in ink, is used to lay out the line. After laying out the line, the ink line is pulled out from the other end, so that the ink line is dipped in ink again, and then the line is laid out for the next part. Repeating the above work is extremely beneficial for laying out control lines of large-space planar concrete formwork, and improves the efficiency of laying out the line.
[0026] The ink fountain cover 11 is connected to the ink fountain groove 12 by threads.
[0027] The slot 121 is arranged along the length of the ink fountain groove 12, and the depth of the slot 121 is greater than the diameter of the ink fountain line 3.
[0028] The vacant portions of the absorbent sponge 2 include:
[0029] The first vacant portion 21 is used to avoid collision with the slot 121;
[0030] The second gap 22 is used to avoid spatial collision with the ink line 3, and the second gap 22 extends through the upper part of the absorbent sponge 2, providing feasibility for the installation of the ink line 3.
[0031] The inkwell box 1 is 20-30cm in length.
[0032] The ink fountain box 1 is equipped with a bidirectional winding mechanism, which includes two winding devices. Each winding device is connected to one end of the ink fountain line 3, and each winding device includes a winding shaft and a spring tension device or ratchet mechanism to realize the function of unwinding the line at one end and automatically winding the line at the other end.
[0033] The ink fountain box 1 has outlets 13 at both ends, and the ink fountain line 3 extends out from the outlets 13. The shape and size of the outlets 13 are adapted to the ink fountain line 3 to ensure that the ink fountain line 3 can enter and exit smoothly.
[0034] During the pulling out and retraction process, the ink fountain line 3 passes through the second empty part 22 of the absorbent sponge 2. The absorbent sponge 2 can provide the ink fountain line 3 with cleaning and even ink application, while preventing the ink fountain line 3 from colliding with the absorbent sponge 2.
[0035] Furthermore, the spring tension device includes a spring, one end of which is fixed to the winding spool and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the ink fountain box. The spring stores elastic potential energy when the ink fountain line is pulled out and releases elastic potential energy when the ink fountain line is no longer pulled out, driving the winding spool to automatically retract the ink fountain line.
[0036] Furthermore, the ratchet mechanism includes a ratchet and a pawl. The ratchet is connected to the winding spool, and the pawl is fixed to the inner wall of the ink fountain box to prevent the winding spool from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby realizing unidirectional pulling out and automatic retraction of the ink fountain line.
[0037] The assembly method of this application is as follows:
[0038] 1. Install absorbent sponges:
[0039] Place the pre-made absorbent sponge into the ink fountain groove, ensuring that the first empty part of the sponge avoids the slot and the second empty part avoids the space of the ink fountain line.
[0040] The absorbent sponge should fit snugly against the inner wall of the ink fountain to ensure it can absorb and store ink.
[0041] 2. Install the cable reel device:
[0042] Winding devices are installed at both ends of the ink fountain. Each winding device includes a winding spool, a spring tensioning device, and a ratchet mechanism.
[0043] Fix one end of the spring to the spool and the other end to the inner wall of the ink fountain.
[0044] Install the ratchet mechanism, ensuring that the ratchet is connected to the winding spool and the pawl is fixed to the inner wall of the ink fountain.
[0045] 3. Install the ink line:
[0046] One end of the ink line is fixed to the spool of one of the winding devices, passes through the second gap of the absorbent sponge, and extends out from the outlet at one end of the ink fountain box.
[0047] The other end of the ink fountain line is fixed to the spool of another winding device, passes through the second gap of the absorbent sponge, and extends out from the outlet at the other end of the ink fountain box.
[0048] 4. Install the ink fountain cover:
[0049] Secure the ink fountain cap to the ink fountain box using a threaded connection to ensure the ink fountain box is airtight.
[0050] A sealing strip can be added between the ink fountain cap and the ink fountain body to further prevent ink leakage.
[0051] 5. Fill with ink:
[0052] Inject an appropriate amount of ink into the ink fountain box through the ink inlet 4 on the ink fountain box, ensuring that the ink can be fully absorbed by the absorbent sponge.
[0053] The amount of ink injected should be moderate to avoid excessive ink overflow, while ensuring that the absorbent sponge can provide enough ink to the ink fountain line.
[0054] The usage method is as follows:
[0055] 1. Laying out the line:
[0056] Construction workers pull out the ink line from one end of the ink fountain box to perform the line release operation. At the same time, the winding device at the other end stores elastic potential energy through a spring tension device.
[0057] When the ink line is pulled out, the absorbent sponge provides ink to the ink line evenly, ensuring a clear line.
[0058] 2. Automatic reel-in:
[0059] When the construction workers finish laying out the line and release the ink line, the spring tension device releases its elastic potential energy, driving the reel to automatically retract the ink line.
[0060] The ratchet mechanism ensures that the winding spool can only rotate in one direction, preventing the ink line from coming loose during the retraction process.
[0061] 3. Repeat the operation:
[0062] When it is necessary to lay out the line in another direction, pull out the ink line from the other end of the ink fountain box and repeat the above line laying and reeling operations.
[0063] With this dual ink fountain design, construction workers can perform continuous line laying operations without frequently manually retracting or extending the ink fountain line, greatly improving work efficiency.
[0064] This application utilizes a dual-outlet ink line structure to achieve the function of automatically extending and retracting the ink line at one end. This design eliminates the need for frequent manual extension and retraction of the ink line during large-space construction projects, significantly reducing the time and labor intensity of the line-laying operation. Especially in construction scenarios requiring continuous line marking, such as road and municipal engineering projects, airport runways, and aprons, it can significantly improve the efficiency of surveying and line marking, freeing up more time for subsequent procedures.
[0065] The ink fountain cartridge features internal slots filled with absorbent sponges. These slots effectively hold the ink, preventing spillage due to shaking or excessive flow during use, thus reducing ink waste. Simultaneously, the absorbent sponges not only absorb and store ink but also provide a uniform ink supply to the ink fountain line, further ensuring efficient ink utilization, reducing installation costs, and minimizing potential environmental pollution from ink spills.
[0066] The absorbent sponge design not only helps store ink but also cleans the ink line during its extension and retraction. As the ink line passes through the sponge, dust and impurities are removed, keeping the line clean. This improves the clarity and accuracy of the strokes, reduces wear and tear on the ink line from impurities, extends its lifespan, and lowers maintenance costs during application.
[0067] By improving the efficiency of surveying and setting out, this invention can better coordinate the construction rhythm of large-space projects. The rapid completion of surveying and setting out allows subsequent processes (such as concrete pouring and formwork installation) to begin earlier, reducing waiting time between processes, optimizing the entire construction process, improving overall construction efficiency, and helping to shorten the project duration.
[0068] The detachable design of the ink fountain makes cleaning and ink replenishment inside the ink fountain more convenient, while the automatic winding function of the bidirectional winding mechanism further simplifies the operation process, enabling construction workers to complete measurement and layout work more efficiently and maintain good performance even in complex construction environments.
[0069] This application is applicable to various large-space engineering construction scenarios, such as road and municipal engineering, airport runways and aprons, and large factories. Its elliptical ink fountain box design and conical structure at both ends make the ink line contact the ground more smoothly, adapting to different construction environments and terrain conditions, and has wide applicability.
[0070] The above are merely embodiments provided in this application and are not intended to limit this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the 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. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
