Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ruler measurement inspection, specifically, to an auxiliary tool for ruler measurement inspection of bridges and tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] In routine bridge and tunnel inspections, steel tape measures or rulers are frequently used to measure structural dimensions, such as the spacing of reinforcing bars in bridge piers, the spacing and exposed length of sonic logging tubes, the spacing of reinforcing bars in tunnel lining, the size of the reinforcing bar grid, the spacing of steel supports, and the exposed length of anchor bolts. The data is usually read from the horizontal line of sight, which inevitably introduces reading errors. This is especially true when measuring reinforcing bar spacing or grid dimensions, as the reinforcing bars are cylindrical, making the horizontal line of sight readings more prone to error. Current technology typically uses a 30cm steel ruler for auxiliary measurement, but this is often inconvenient in the complex environment of tunnels, particularly on uneven initial support surfaces. In such cases, the 30cm steel ruler fails to provide accurate measurement, and reading errors still occur. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides an auxiliary tool for bridge and tunnel measurement, which solves the problem of measurement errors that easily occur when measuring steel bars or uneven structures on the initial support surface in the daily inspection of bridges and tunnels.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:
[0005] An auxiliary tool for bridge and tunnel measurement inspection includes two clamping plates rotatably connected to each other and an elastic element mounted on a rotating shaft of the clamping plates for resetting the clamping plates. The clamping plates include a clamping part and a force-receiving part at an obtuse angle to the clamping part. A magnetic element is provided on the inner side of the clamping part.
[0006] This utility model uses two mutually rotating clamping plates and a reset elastic element to form an auxiliary clamp, which is clamped on the measuring ruler. By moving the auxiliary clamp to contact the part to be measured, the reading on the measuring ruler is read, which can make more accurate readings, reduce the error caused by the eye-viewing method, and make the ruler measurement method more accurate.
[0007] Operating principle of the device: First, select the object to be measured, fix the initial end of the measuring ruler to the initial end of the object, then extend the measuring ruler close to the object, clamp the auxiliary tool onto the measuring ruler, so that the measuring ruler is clamped and attracted to the magnetic component. According to the preset measurement points on the object, move the position of the auxiliary tool on the measuring ruler so that the auxiliary tool corresponds one-to-one with the measurement points, and record the corresponding measurement readings. By using the auxiliary tool to match the measurement points with the readings on the measuring ruler, the readings are made more accurate.
[0008] Furthermore, the elastic element is a torsion spring, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixedly connected to the two force-receiving parts.
[0009] The auxiliary clamp is reset by a torsion spring, which clamps the measuring ruler tightly and prevents the auxiliary clamp from falling off.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping plate also includes a measuring rod disposed on one side of the clamping part, the measuring rod being rotatably connected to the clamping part.
[0011] Because the measuring ruler needs to be straightened during measurement to reduce measurement errors, some special measurement points are far from the measuring ruler, such as the spacing of steel bars in bridge piers, the spacing of steel bars in tunnel linings, or the spacing of steel supports. During measurement, the auxiliary clamp is too far from the point to be measured and cannot play an auxiliary role. Therefore, by setting a measuring rod on one side of the auxiliary clamp and moving the measuring rod close to the point to be measured, the corresponding reading on the measuring ruler at the point to be measured can be determined. This makes the auxiliary clamp more adaptable and can also reduce measurement errors.
[0012] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the clamping part, and the measuring rod is installed in the groove.
[0013] The groove serves to protect the measuring rod and also protects it. Since the measuring rod has a certain thickness, directly installing it on the outside of the clamping part would cause the measuring surface of the measuring rod to shift, which is not conducive to accurate measurement. By installing it in the groove, the influence of the thickness of the measuring rod can be offset, reducing interference with the measurement.
[0014] Furthermore, the sidewall of the measuring rod is coplanar with the sidewall of the clamping part.
[0015] Since this auxiliary tool requires one side of the auxiliary clamp to contact the point to be measured during measurement, the measuring rod, which extends the measuring surface, needs to have its measuring surface coplanar with the measuring surface of the auxiliary clamp to ensure measurement accuracy. Therefore, the measuring rod, which serves as the side wall of the measuring surface, and the clamping part, which also serves as the side wall of the measuring surface, are coplanar.
[0016] Furthermore, the measuring rod is a telescopic rod.
[0017] Since the auxiliary clamp has a limited size, the length of the measuring rod set in the groove on the clamping part is also limited. In order to enhance the applicability of the auxiliary clamp, the measuring rod is made into a telescopic rod to extend the length of the measuring rod and increase the measuring range of the measuring rod.
[0018] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the measuring rod is parallel to the rotation axis of the clamping plate.
[0019] Since the measuring surface of the measuring rod is coplanar with the measuring surface of the clamping part, and the rotation axis of the measuring rod is parallel to the rotation axis of the clamping plate, the rotation direction of the measuring rod and the clamping plate is the same. This ensures that the side wall of the measuring rod, which serves as the measuring surface, and the side wall of the clamping part always remain coplanar, thereby reducing measurement errors.
[0020] Furthermore, the clamping element is 12mm long, 20mm wide, and 4mm thick.
[0021] Furthermore, the distance between the two clamping parts is 1-3 mm.
[0022] Furthermore, the included angle between the two force-bearing parts is 30°-40°.
[0023] One or more technical solutions provided by this utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0024] (1) This utility model forms an auxiliary clamp by two mutually rotating clamping plates and a reset elastic element, which is clamped on the measuring ruler. The auxiliary clamp is moved to contact the part to be measured, and the reading on the measuring ruler is read. This allows for more accurate readings, reduces the error caused by the eye-reading method, and makes the ruler measurement method more accurate.
[0025] (2) By setting a measuring rod on one side of the auxiliary clamp, the measuring rod is brought close to the point to be measured to determine the corresponding reading on the measuring ruler, which makes the auxiliary clamp more adaptable and reduces measurement error;
[0026] (3) The measuring rod is stored in the groove, which protects the measuring rod. At the same time, since the measuring rod has a certain thickness, when it is directly installed on the outside of the clamping part, the measuring surface of the measuring rod will be offset, which is not conducive to accurate measurement. By installing it in the groove, the influence of the thickness of the measuring rod can be offset, reducing the interference to the measurement.
[0027] (4) Ensure the accuracy of measurement by making the measuring surface of the measuring rod and the measuring surface of the auxiliary clamp coplanar. Attached Figure Description

By using the auxiliary tool to correspond the measurement points with the readings on the measuring ruler, the readings are made more accurate.
[0038] In a more preferred embodiment, the elastic element 1 is a torsion spring, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixedly connected to the two force-receiving parts 3.
