Accurately measuring crack width provides important information for assessing the load-bearing capacity, service life, and repair and reinforcement plans of a building structure, and is a crucial step in ensuring the safe operation of a building.

[0003] Most existing optical rulers for measuring structural crack width are grating rulers. Their structure mainly includes a grating main scale, an indicating grating, a light source, an optical system, and a reading device. The grating main scale and the indicating grating form moiré fringes. The fringe signal is transmitted to the reading device through the optical system, enabling high-precision measurement of crack width. This method is widely used in structural inspection in building engineering.

[0004] However, in the complex environment of construction sites, dust and other pollutants can easily enter the optical system of existing optical measuring rulers, interfering with the formation and recognition of moiré fringes and leading to a decrease in measurement accuracy. To address this issue, an optical measuring ruler for structural crack width in construction engineering is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0034] 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.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an optical measuring ruler for structural crack width in building engineering inspection, comprising a main body 1. The main body of the ruler includes a scale grating with grating stripes, a light source to provide detection light, a photoelectric element to convert light signals into electrical signals, a signal processing circuit to amplify and subdivide signals, a guide rail to ensure smooth movement, a sealed structure to prevent dust intrusion, and an interface to output measurement data, etc., which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail hereafter. A reading head 3 is slidably connected inside the main body 1. The reading head 3 is a key component for realizing optical measurement of crack width, which can accurately capture crack images and read data. A quick fixing component is installed inside the main body 1. This component can quickly and stably install and position the reading head 3, greatly improving the preparation efficiency before measurement. Fixing frames 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the main body 1. The fixing frames 10 provide installation space and fixing structure for the dustproof component. The dustproof component is installed inside the fixing frames 10. The dustproof component can effectively block dust from the construction site and other environments from entering the interior of the main body 1, avoiding dust from affecting the accuracy of the measuring ruler.

[0036] The dustproof assembly includes a dustproof net 11, which efficiently filters dust particles from the air. The dustproof net 11 is slidably connected inside the fixed frame 10, facilitating its disassembly, cleaning, and replacement. A locking tongue 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the dustproof net 11, providing a crucial locking structure for its fixation. A groove 18 is provided inside the fixed frame 10, providing installation and movement space for components such as locking blocks 19. Two locking blocks 19 are slidably connected inside the groove 18, symmetrically distributed, and can lock the locking tongue 14 from both sides. The locking tongue 14 and locking blocks 19 interlock, firmly fixing the dustproof net 11 within the fixed frame 10 and preventing it from loosening or slipping during measurement. A sliding rod 21 is fixedly connected to one side of each locking block 19, providing guidance for the movement of the locking blocks 19 and ensuring smooth sliding within the groove 18. A spring 20 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 21, which provides a restoring force for the locking block 19. An adjusting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the locking block 19, extending to the outside of the fixed frame 10, providing a convenient operating component for the operator. By moving the adjusting rod 17, the locking block 19 can be slid within the groove 18. A moving groove 16 is provided on the outer side of the fixed frame 10, and the adjusting rod 17 is slidably connected inside the moving groove 16. A fixed round block 22 is slidably connected to one end of the sliding rod 21, which guides and limits the movement of the sliding rod 21. The fixed round block 22 is fixedly connected inside the groove 18, and one end of the spring 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed round block 22. A sliding groove 15 is provided inside the fixed frame 10, the size of which matches the edge of the dustproof net 11, providing precise guidance for the sliding of the dustproof net 11. The dustproof net 11 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 15.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The quick-fixing assembly includes a fixing groove 2 and a T-slot 8. The fixing groove 2 is opened along the length of the main body 1, providing a path for the sliding of the screw 6 and also limiting the range of movement of the screw 6. A T-shaped base 7 is slidably connected inside the T-slot 8. The shapes of the T-slot 8 and the T-shaped base 7 match each other, preventing vertical or horizontal offset and ensuring the stability of the reading head 3's movement. The T-shaped base 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reading head 3, realizing a sliding connection between the reading head 3 and the main body 1, allowing the reading head 3 to move flexibly on the main body 1. The internal threaded connection includes a screw 6, one end of which is fixedly connected to a nut 4. The screw 6 is slidably connected inside the fixing groove 2. When the reading head 3 moves, the screw 6 will slide synchronously within the fixing groove 2. When the reading head 3 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the nut 4 is tightened, and the screw 6 will press down on the main body 1, thereby fixing the reading head 3 in the current position and preventing it from moving during the measurement process. An anti-slip pad 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the nut 4. The anti-slip pad 5 is made of rubber or other anti-slip materials, which can increase the friction between the nut 4 and the main body 1. The anti-slip pad 5 is located on the outside of the main body 1.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 A handle 12 is rotatably connected to one side of the dustproof net 11. The handle 12 provides a convenient gripping structure for operators to disassemble and install the dustproof net 11. By pulling the handle 12, the dustproof net 11 can be easily pulled out or pushed in from the fixed frame 10. The handle 12 is rotatably connected to one side of the dustproof net 11 via a hinge 13. The hinge 13 allows the handle 12 to rotate flexibly. When the handle 12 is not in use, it can be flipped to a horizontal position and pressed against the surface of the dustproof net 11. This reduces the storage space of the measuring ruler and prevents the handle 12 from obstructing the operator's view or operation during measurement. A flexible pad 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the main body 1. The flexible pad 9 is made of rubber or other materials with a certain degree of elasticity and softness. It can keep the measuring ruler in a horizontal position on uneven walls and improve the measurement accuracy. The flexible pad 9 is located below the reading head 3.

[0039] Working principle: First, when taking measurements, a suitable reading head 3 needs to be selected. The T-shaped base 7 at the bottom of the reading head 3 is pushed into the T-shaped groove 8 on the side to achieve quick installation. After installation, the fixing frame 10 is installed. For different cracks, a suitable reading head 3 should be selected. In addition, during the measurement process, after adjustment, the nut 4 needs to be tightened to prevent the T-shaped base 7 from sliding accidentally and avoid the problem of reduced accuracy.

[0040] Secondly, construction sites are often dusty, and the dustproof net 11 can effectively prevent dust from entering the interior of the main body 1. After long-term operation, a large amount of dust will accumulate on the surface of the dustproof net 11. At this time, slide the adjusting rod 17 to both sides to move the locking block 19 to both sides. The spring 20 will be compressed under force, allowing the locking tongue 14 to disengage from the locking block 19. Then, the dustproof net 11 can be pulled out through the handle 12 to clean and replace it, ensuring that it continues to work normally. In addition, the handle 12 can be flipped to a horizontal position when not in use, which can reduce the storage space and prevent it from obstructing the measurement.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
