[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 An adjustable rebar spacing measuring instrument in this embodiment includes a mounting box 1. An adjustable measuring mechanism extending to the outside of the mounting box 1 is provided inside the mounting box 1. The adjustable measuring mechanism includes a drive motor 2 fixedly connected inside the mounting box 1. A drive plate 3 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 2. A movable plate 4 is slidably connected inside the mounting box 1. A connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected between the movable plate 4 and the drive plate 3. Mounting pieces 6 extending to the front and back of the mounting box 1 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the movable plate 4, respectively. A clamping block 7 is fixedly connected between the two mounting pieces 6.

[0023] Specifically, there are two movable plates 4, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides inside the mounting box 1. The side of the connecting rod 5 away from the drive plate 3 is located at the center of the movable plate 4. A connecting block is fixedly connected between the movable plate 4 and the mounting piece 6. An active groove 8 that matches the connecting block is opened on the front of the mounting box 1.

[0024] It should be noted that the front of the mounting box 1 is provided with scale lines 9, the mounting piece 6 is slidably connected to the opposite side of the mounting box 1, the back of the mounting piece 6 is fixedly connected with a positioning block extending into the interior of the mounting box 1, and the front of the mounting box 1 is provided with a positioning groove that matches the positioning block.

[0025] It should be noted that arc-shaped grooves are provided on the opposite sides of both clamping blocks 7, which can improve the stability between the clamping blocks 7 and the reinforcing bars and prevent accidental detachment.

[0026] It should be noted that by setting the drive motor 2 to drive the drive plate 3 to rotate, and by setting the connecting rod 5, the drive plate 3 can rotate, and the connecting rod 5 can move the moving plate 4. Thus, the two moving plates 4 can be displaced at the same time. Furthermore, by setting the mounting plate 6 and the clamping block 7, on the one hand, the clamping block 7 can be displaced, and on the other hand, the two clamping blocks 7 can easily clamp and position the steel bars, thereby facilitating the measurement of the spacing of the steel bars. The operation is extremely convenient.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the bottom of the mounting box 1 is fixedly connected with two support legs 10, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the mounting box 1. A handle 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting box 1, and a main controller is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting box 1.

[0028] Specifically, by setting up a handle 11, the portability of the entire device is improved, greatly increasing the work efficiency of the staff. By setting up support legs 10, the entire device can be easily supported. The battery is fixedly connected inside the mounting box 1, which can easily power the drive motor 2 and also achieve wireless measurement, further improving the portability of the device.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0030] First, the staff places the device in a suitable position using the handle 11. When it is necessary to measure the spacing of the reinforcing bars, the installation box 1 can be lifted, and then the reinforcing bars can be placed between the two clamping blocks 7. Then, the drive motor 2 is started to drive the drive plate 3 to rotate. At this time, the two clamping blocks 7 clamp the reinforcing bars. The staff can then check the readings of the two installation plates 6. After that, the staff can subtract the two readings to obtain the spacing of the reinforcing bars.

[0031] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that achieves the desired beneficial effect can be implemented. Furthermore, all electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply.
