Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tilt measuring instruments, specifically a handheld tilt measuring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] An inclinometer is an instrument used to measure the angle of inclination of an object relative to a horizontal plane. It uses a bubble level to measure the horizontal position to determine the angle of inclination of the object and is widely used in fields such as construction, automobiles, drilling machinery, and industrial automation.
[0003] The publication number CN219934946U discloses a slope measuring ruler, which includes a slope measuring ruler body. Several sets of limiting members are fixedly connected to the two side surfaces of the slope measuring ruler body, and a protective component is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting member.
[0004] The aforementioned measuring ruler protects the bubble level by using a buffer assembly to prevent it from being damaged by impacts, but when the bubble level is damaged due to leakage from a collision, it is inconvenient to quickly disassemble and replace it. Furthermore, when measuring the tilt angle of an object, dust particles on the surface of the object cause the measuring instrument body to not fully adhere to the object, affecting the measurement accuracy.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Combination Figures 1-4 A handheld tilt measuring instrument includes a measuring instrument body 1, a dial 2 installed inside the measuring instrument body 1, an adjusting ring 3 movably installed inside the dial 2, a fixing component 4 installed on the inner ring of the adjusting ring 3, and a support component 5 installed on the bottom and rear of the measuring instrument body 1.
[0025] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the fixing component 4 includes two card seats 6 and two sets of slide rails 7. The two sets of slide rails 7 are fixed to the inner ring of the adjusting ring 3. Two positioning grooves 8 are opened through the inner ring of the adjusting ring 3. Positioning cylinders 9 are movably installed on opposite sides of the two card seats 6. A spirit level 10 is inserted between the two positioning cylinders 9. Slots 11 are opened on opposite sides of the two positioning cylinders 9. A stud 12 is installed inside the positioning cylinder 9. A guide post 13 is movably installed through the outer side of the card seat 6 and sleeved on the outside of the stud 12.
[0026] The locating seat 6 is located outside the slide rail 7 and is slidably set. The positioning cylinder 9 is sleeved inside the locating seat 6 and is rotatably set via the locating shaft. The gear on the outer ring of the adjusting ring 3 is located inside the measuring instrument body 1 and is adjusted and rotated via the adjusting disc. A pointer is set on one side of the adjusting ring 3 near the top.
[0027] The stud 12 and the positioning cylinder 9 are fixedly connected. The outer end of the stud 12 passes through the inside of the card seat 6. The spirit level 10 is inserted into the slot 11 between the two positioning cylinders 9. The positioning cylinders 9 are rotatably connected through the card shaft inside the card seat 6.
[0028] The guide post 13 has a rectangular cross-section. The guide post 13 and the stud 12 are connected by a thread. The guide post 13 and the positioning groove 8 are engaged. The stud 12 rotates with the positioning cylinder 9. The guide post 13 slides outward through the stud 12 and engages with the positioning groove 8.
[0029] Specifically, by inserting the bubble level 10 between the two positioning cylinders 9, the mounting bracket 6 is inserted into the inner ring of the adjusting ring 3 via the slide rail 7. The two positioning cylinders 9 are rotated respectively, causing the stud 12 to rotate and drive the guide post 13 to slide outward under the action of the thread, so that the guide post 13 is engaged in the positioning groove 8, thereby fixing the mounting bracket 6, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the bubble level 10.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] See Figure 4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the support component 5 includes three magnetic blocks 14. One magnetic block 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom rear end of the measuring instrument body 1, and the other two magnetic blocks 14 are movably installed at the bottom and rear of the measuring instrument body 1, respectively. A scale plate 15 is installed on one side of the measuring instrument body 1 near the bottom and rear end. A screw 16 is movably installed through the interior of the measuring instrument body 1 near the bottom and rear end, and a guide rod 18 is fixedly installed. A knob 17 is fixedly installed on the outer end of each of the two screws 16. The same slider 19 is movably installed on the outside of the screws 16 and the guide rod 18.
[0032] Two magnetic blocks 14 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the corresponding sliders 19. The sliders 19 and the screws 16 are connected by threads. The magnetic blocks 14 are used to magnetically attach to the metal surface. The spacing between the two magnetic blocks 14 is adjusted by the screws 16.
[0033] The two magnetic blocks 14 at the bottom are horizontally arranged, and the two magnetic blocks 14 at the rear end are perpendicular to each other. The two corresponding magnetic blocks 14 are used to support the measuring instrument body 1, so that the measuring instrument body 1 and the measuring part are in close contact and remain parallel.
[0034] Specifically, by rotating the knob 17 at the bottom, the screw 16 drives the slider 19 and the corresponding magnetic block 14 to slide forward, increasing the distance between the two magnetic blocks 14. The magnetic blocks 14 magnetically fix the measuring instrument body 1 to the metal surface. The two magnetic blocks 14 contact the measuring object and provide support for the measuring instrument body 1, ensuring that the measuring instrument body 1 is parallel to the surface of the measuring object.
[0035] In actual operation, the bottom or rear of the measuring instrument body 1 is placed against the surface of the object being measured. The adjusting ring 3 is rotated by rotating the adjusting plate to make the level bubble 10 rotate, so that the level bubble 10 is kept in balance. The position of the pointer on the outside of the adjusting ring 3 is observed to determine the degree of the tilt angle.
[0036] When replacing the bubble level 10, the new bubble level 10 is inserted between the slots 11 of the two positioning cylinders 9. The retainer 6 slides into the inner ring of the adjusting ring 3 via the slide rail 7. The two positioning cylinders 9 are rotated respectively. The positioning cylinders 9 rotate through the retaining shaft connection on the inner side of the retainer 6, causing the positioning cylinders 9 to drive the stud 12 to rotate. The guide post 13 slides outward through the thread of the stud 12 and is inserted into the positioning groove 8 of the inner ring of the adjusting ring 3, thereby fixing the retainer 6 and the adjusting ring 3 to each other and keeping the distance between the two positioning cylinders 9 unchanged.
[0037] During measurement, the magnetic block 14 at the rear end of the bottom of the measuring instrument body 1 is attached to one end of the object being measured. When the object being measured is a magnetically attracted metal material, it is magnetically fixed by the magnetic block 14. By rotating the corresponding knob 17 according to the length of the object being measured, the screw 16 drives the slider 19 to slide, which in turn causes the magnetic block 14 at the bottom of the corresponding slider 19 to slide, so as to adjust the length supported by the measuring instrument body 1, making the measuring instrument body 1 parallel to the surface of the object being measured, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
