A rapid measuring tool for steering tie rods of special equipment

Abstract

This application discloses a quick measuring tool for steering tie rods of special equipment, including a housing. A measuring scale is installed inside the housing, and two sliding rods are fixedly installed inside the housing. A limiting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the measuring scale, and the limiting plate is slidably connected to the two sliding rods. By pulling a pull ring on one side, the limiting of the measuring scale is released, allowing the operator to easily pull the measuring scale out of the housing to a suitable length. The limiting plate then presses against a connecting block, which inserts into the connecting groove of the limiting plate, thus fixing the position of the measuring scale. This ensures that the measuring scale is accurately positioned when fixed and will not shift due to external force or its own shaking, guaranteeing the accuracy of data read from the scale lines. Simultaneously, the operator can flexibly control the tool according to actual measurement needs, quickly switching from adjustment to fixation, thereby accurately reading the length of the steering tie rod through the scale lines on the measuring scale, effectively improving measurement efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical measurement technology, and in particular to a rapid measurement tool for steering tie rods of special equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The steering tie rod is a key transmission component in the steering system of wheeled special equipment (such as special engineering vehicles, military wheeled vehicles, and large special-purpose vehicles). It typically works in conjunction with the main steering tie rod and steering knuckle arms. Connecting the steering knuckles on both sides of the vehicle, its core function is to transmit steering power from the main tie rod to the other steering knuckle, enabling coordinated rotation of the wheels on both sides and ensuring precise steering according to the driver's input. Structurally, it is mostly made of high-strength alloy materials, possessing sufficient rigidity and fatigue resistance to meet the operational requirements of wheeled special equipment in complex road conditions (such as off-road and heavy-load applications).

[0003] Currently, the position of the measuring ruler in the quick measuring tool for steering tie rods of special equipment is not fixed during use. This is to avoid positional deviation caused by external forces or self-shaking, which would prevent the steering tie rod length from being accurately read through the scale. In addition, the tool is securely connected to the steering tie rod to prevent the tool from shifting or shaking during the measurement process due to uneven force on one side, or the steering tie rod surface being curved or uneven. This ensures the accuracy of the measurement data. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This embodiment provides a quick measuring tool for steering tie rods of special equipment, but it has problems such as the measuring ruler being not fixed in position and easily shifting, leading to inaccurate readings, and the connection with the steering tie rod being not stable enough, easily causing uneven force on one side and the surface condition of the tie rod to shift and shake, affecting the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0005] According to one aspect of this application, a quick measuring tool for steering tie rods of special equipment is provided, including a housing, a measuring ruler disposed inside the housing, two sliding rods fixedly installed inside the housing, a limiting plate fixedly installed on one side of the measuring ruler, and the limiting plate being slidably connected to the two sliding rods;

[0006] The inner wall of the outer shell has two fixing grooves, and a connecting plate is slidably connected inside each of the two fixing grooves. A connecting rod and a plug block are fixedly installed at both ends of the two connecting plates, and a pull plate is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two connecting rods to the outer end of the outer shell. A pull ring is fixedly installed on each of the two pull plates, and a spring is sleeved on the outer surface of each of the two connecting rods. The two ends of the multiple springs are fixedly connected to the fixing grooves and the connecting plates, respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting plate is provided with a plug-in slot, and both plug-in blocks can be plugged into the plug-in slot.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting seat is fixedly installed on one side of the measuring ruler, and vertical plates are fixedly installed on both the outer shell and the limiting seat.

[0009] Furthermore, connecting rods are fixedly installed on both the outer shell and the limiting seat, and a U-shaped rod is fixedly installed on one end of each of the two connecting rods, and a suction cup seat is fixedly installed on both ends of each of the two U-shaped rods.

[0010] Furthermore, the measuring ruler is equipped with graduation lines, specifically from zero to fifty centimeters.

[0011] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly installed on the limiting seat, and a handle is fixedly installed on the outer shell. Through the above embodiments of this application, by pulling one side of the pull ring, the limiting of the measuring ruler is released. At this time, the operator can easily pull the measuring ruler out of the outer shell to a suitable length. The limiting plate presses against the plug-in block, and the plug-in block inserts into the plug-in groove of the limiting plate, thus fixing the position of the measuring ruler. This ensures that the measuring ruler is accurately positioned when fixed and will not shift due to external force or its own shaking, guaranteeing the accuracy of data read through the scale lines of the measuring ruler. Simultaneously, the operator can flexibly control the measurement according to actual measurement needs, quickly switching from adjustment to fixation, thereby accurately reading the length of the steering pull rod through the scale lines on the measuring ruler, effectively improving measurement efficiency.

[0012] By setting multiple suction cup holders, the suction cup holders can adhere to the appropriate area, which greatly enhances the stability of the connection between the device and the steering tie rod. This prevents the tool from shifting or shaking due to uneven force on one side during the measurement process. Even if the surface of the steering tie rod has a certain curvature or unevenness, the suction cup holders on both sides can work together to ensure that the measuring scale and the steering tie rod always maintain a relatively stable positional relationship, thus ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-6. The special equipment steering tie rod quick measuring tool includes a housing 1. A measuring ruler 2 is provided inside the housing 1. Two sliding rods 6 are fixedly installed inside the housing 1. A limiting plate 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the measuring ruler 2. The limiting plate 5 is slidably connected to the two sliding rods 6.

[0028] The inner wall of the outer shell 1 has two fixing grooves 16. A connecting plate 19 is slidably connected inside each of the two fixing grooves 16. Movable rods 15 and plug blocks 18 are fixedly installed at both ends of the two connecting plates 19, respectively. One end of each of the two movable rods 15 extends to the outer end of the outer shell 1 and is fixedly installed with a pull plate 14. Pull rings 13 are fixedly installed on each of the two pull plates 14. Springs 12 are sleeved on the outer surface of each of the two movable rods 15. The two ends of the multiple springs 12 are fixedly connected to the fixing grooves 16 and the connecting plates 19, respectively.

[0029] Furthermore, the spring in this application can be made of high-strength alloy material, which has good fatigue resistance.

[0030] In this technical solution, the limiting plate 5 is provided with a plug-in slot 17, and both plug-in blocks 18 can be plugged into the plug-in slot 17.

[0031] In this technical solution, a limiting seat 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the measuring ruler 2, and a vertical plate 11 is fixedly installed on both the outer shell 1 and the limiting seat 3.

[0032] In this technical solution, connecting rods 8 are fixedly installed on both the outer shell 1 and the limiting seat 3. A U-shaped rod 9 is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two connecting rods 8, and a suction cup seat 10 is fixedly installed at both ends of each of the two U-shaped rods 9.

[0033] In this technical solution, the measuring ruler 2 is provided with scale lines, specifically from 0 to 50 centimeters. The scale lines from 0 to 50 centimeters on the measuring ruler 2 are clear and distinct, covering the common length range of steering tie rods of most special equipment. The staff can directly read the data without the need for additional measuring tools, reducing the errors caused by data conversion or estimation, and improving the intuitiveness and efficiency of the measurement.

[0034] In this technical solution, a handle 4 is fixedly installed on the limiting seat 3, and a handle 7 is fixedly installed on the outer shell 1.

[0035] In use, pulling one side of the pull ring 13 causes the pull plate 14, movable rod 15, and connecting plate 19 to slide within the fixed groove 16, compressing the spring 12. The insertion block 18 at the other end of the connecting plate 19 disengages from the insertion groove 17 of the limiting plate 5, thus releasing the restriction on the measuring scale 2. At this time, the measuring scale 2 can move smoothly within the housing 1 along the sliding rod 6. The operator pulls the measuring scale 2 out of the housing 1 to a suitable length using the handle 4. When the measuring scale 2 is pulled to the appropriate position, the limiting plate 5 presses against the insertion block 18. Because the insertion block 18 has an inclined surface, it causes the connecting plate 19 to move upwards until the limiting plate 5 is directly below the insertion block 18. The insertion block 18 then inserts into the insertion groove 17 of the limiting plate 5, fixing the position of the measuring scale 2 and ensuring its stability. When fixed, the position is precise and will not shift due to external forces or its own shaking, ensuring the accuracy of data reading through the scale line of measuring ruler 2. At the same time, the staff can flexibly control it according to the actual measurement needs and can quickly complete the switch from adjustment to fixation, so as to accurately read the length of the steering tie rod through the scale line on measuring ruler 2, which can effectively improve the measurement efficiency.

[0036] Vertical plates 11 are fixedly installed on both the limiting seat 3 on one side of the measuring ruler 2 and the outer shell 1. These plates assist in positioning the end of the steering tie rod, reducing positioning errors during measurement. The suction cup seat 10 can adhere to a suitable area, greatly enhancing the stability of the connection between the device and the steering tie rod. This prevents the tool from shifting or shaking due to uneven force on one side during measurement. Even if the surface of the steering tie rod has a certain curvature or unevenness, the suction cup seats 10 on both sides can work together to ensure that the measuring ruler 2 and the steering tie rod always maintain a relatively stable positional relationship, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0037] The advantages of this application are:

[0038] 1. By pulling one side of the pull ring 13, the limiting position of the measuring ruler 2 is released. At this time, the operator can easily pull the measuring ruler 2 out of the outer shell 1 to the appropriate length. After the measuring ruler 2 is pulled out to the appropriate position, the limiting plate 5 presses the plug block 18, and the plug block 18 is inserted into the plug groove 17 of the limiting plate 5 to fix the position of the measuring ruler 2. This ensures that the measuring ruler 2 is accurately positioned when fixed and will not be offset due to external force or its own shaking. This ensures the accuracy of reading data through the scale line of the measuring ruler 2. At the same time, the operator can flexibly control the measurement according to the actual measurement needs and can quickly complete the switch from adjustment to fixation. Thus, the length of the steering tie rod can be accurately read through the scale line on the measuring ruler 2, which can effectively improve the measurement efficiency.

[0039] 2. By setting multiple suction cup seats 10, the suction cup seats 10 can be attached to a suitable area, which can greatly enhance the stability of the connection between the device and the steering tie rod, and avoid the tool from shifting or shaking due to uneven force on one side during the measurement process. Even if there is a certain curvature or unevenness on the surface of the steering tie rod, the suction cup seats 10 on both sides can work together to ensure that the measuring ruler 2 and the steering tie rod always maintain a relatively stable positional relationship, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. 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.
