Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of settlement observation technology, and in particular to a settlement observation device for buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Settlement observation points are specialized measurement markers used to monitor changes in the vertical settlement of buildings, structures, or ground. They are used to assess structural safety and foundation stability by periodically measuring changes in elevation.

[0003] Currently, to prevent settlement observation points from being damaged by external factors such as rainwater corrosion or impacts from uncontrollable external objects, existing technologies typically embed settlement observation points within walls. When measurements are needed, the observation point is manually removed from its embedding location, and then measured using measuring equipment. According to the existing patent authorization announcement number CN222379058U, a concealed settlement observation point structure is provided. In this patent, although the observation rod (settlement observation point) is concealed within the wall, during operation, the observation rod needs to be removed from the wall and then inserted back into the wall for measurement. After the measurement is completed, the observation rod is inserted back into the wall in the opposite direction to complete the entire operation.

[0004] Although existing settlement monitoring points are concealed within the walls, they are cumbersome to operate, especially when testing is required, as additional auxiliary tools are needed to remove the settlement monitoring points. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a settlement observation device for buildings, so as to solve the technical problem that although the existing settlement observation points are hidden in the wall, they are cumbersome to operate.

[0006] The present invention provides a settlement observation device for buildings, including a sleeve for being arranged in a wall, an observation rod and a first elastic element, the sleeve having an opening for the observation rod to move outward, and the settlement observation device further including a locking bracket, a flip cover and a rotating shaft with a locking part;

[0007] The locking bracket is used to be mounted on the opening. The flip cover is rotatably connected to the locking bracket via the pivot, so that when the flip cover is folded forward / backward relative to the locking bracket, the opening is opened / closed.

[0008] The locking bracket has a gap for the rotating shaft to move, so that when the rotating shaft moves, the locking part is used to insert / separate from the locking notch of the locking bracket to lock / unlock the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking bracket includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and a third bracket with a locking notch.

[0010] Furthermore, the two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the first bracket and the second bracket respectively, and the locking part of the rotating shaft is directly opposite the locking notch;

[0011] The length of the rotating shaft is greater than the distance between the first bracket and the second bracket, so that the locking part extends into the locking notch for locking and fixing.

[0012] Furthermore, there is a distance between the first support and the third support, such that the gap is formed between the first support and the third support.

[0013] Furthermore, the settlement monitoring device also includes at least one second elastic element;

[0014] Wherein, one end of the rotating shaft passes through the first bracket and has the locking part, the locking part being used to face the locking notch;

[0015] The two ends of the second elastic member are respectively used to abut against the sidewalls of the locking part and the first bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking bracket and the sleeve are integrally formed.

[0017] Furthermore, a waterproof ring is provided between the flip cover and the opening.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the settlement monitoring device for buildings shown in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] The settlement monitoring device for buildings disclosed in the application includes a sleeve, a monitoring rod, a first elastic element, a locking bracket, a flip cover, and a rotating shaft with a locking part. The locking bracket has a locking notch and a gap for the rotating shaft to move. When the flip cover needs to be folded forward, it is first moved laterally, causing the rotating shaft to move laterally, thus separating the locking part from the locking notch. Then, the flip cover is folded upwards, and the elasticity of the first elastic element allows the monitoring rod to pop outwards for handheld measurement. The device measures the observation rod, and during the measurement process, the flip cover can be moved again to allow the locking part to extend into the locking notch, ensuring the stability of the flip cover when it is folded upwards. Conversely, when it is necessary to retract the observation rod into the sleeve, the flip cover is moved again to separate the locking part from the locking notch, causing the flip cover to fold downwards and pushing the observation rod into the sleeve. Once the observation rod is fully pushed into the sleeve, the flip cover is moved again to allow the locking part to re-insert into the locking notch, completing the locking function. This method is simple to operate and can be completed without any auxiliary tools, solving the problem of cumbersome operation in existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0027] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model illustrates a settlement monitoring device for buildings, comprising a sleeve 100 for installation within a wall 800, an observation rod 200, and a first elastic element 300. The sleeve 100 has an opening 110 for the observation rod 200 to move outward. It should be noted that the sleeve 100, the observation rod 200, and the first elastic element 300 are all conventional prior art in this field. The sleeve 100 is embedded within the wall 800, and the observation rod 200 can be ejected outward via the first elastic element 300, allowing the observation rod 200 to extend outside the wall. In conjunction with measuring equipment, it can measure the settlement data of the wall 800.

[0030] Although the observation rod 200 is embedded in the wall 800, it may be damaged during use due to rain corrosion or impact from uncontrollable external objects. Therefore, in this embodiment, the settlement observation device also includes a locking bracket 400, a flip cover 500, and a rotating shaft 600 with a locking part 610.

[0031] The locking bracket 400 is used to be mounted on the opening 110. The flip cover 500 is rotatably connected to the locking bracket 400 via the pivot 600, so that when the flip cover 500 is folded forward / backward relative to the locking bracket 400, the opening 110 is opened / closed.

[0032] The locking bracket 400 is provided with a gap 440 for the rotating shaft 600 to move, so that when the rotating shaft 600 moves, the locking part 610 is used to insert / separate the locking notch 431 of the locking bracket 400 to lock / unlock the rotating shaft 600.

[0033] In practical use, to facilitate operation and effectively protect the observation rod 200, the flip cover 500 in this embodiment can cover the opening 110, allowing the observation rod 200 to retract into the sleeve 100. To ensure the stability of the observation rod 200 within the sleeve 100, a locking part 610 is provided on the rotating shaft 600, and a locking notch 431 is provided on the locking bracket 400. The locking bracket 400 also has a gap 440 for the rotating shaft 600 to move. When the flip cover 500 needs to be folded forward, it is first moved laterally, allowing the flip cover 500 to drive the rotating shaft 600 to move laterally, thereby separating the locking part 610 from the locking notch 431. Then, the flip cover 500 is folded upwards, utilizing the elasticity of the first elastic element 300. This allows the observation rod 200 to pop outwards, enabling staff to hold measuring equipment and measure it. During measurement, the flip cover 500 can be moved again, allowing the locking part 610 to extend into the locking notch 431, ensuring the stability of the flip cover 500 when it is folded upwards. Conversely, when it is necessary to retract the observation rod 200 into the sleeve 100, the flip cover 500 is moved again, causing the locking part 610 to separate from the locking notch 431, allowing the flip cover 500 to fold downwards and pushing the observation rod 200 into the sleeve 100. Once the observation rod 200 is fully pushed into the sleeve 100, the flip cover 500 is moved again, causing the locking part 610 to re-insert into the locking notch 431, completing the locking function. This method is simple to operate and can be completed without any auxiliary tools.

[0034] It should be noted that the flip cover 500 and the pivot 600 are connected as one piece. When the flip cover 500 is folded, the flip cover 500 will synchronously drive the pivot 600 to rotate.

[0035] For a better understanding of this case, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this application, the locking bracket 400 includes a first bracket 410, a second bracket 420, and a third bracket 430 with a locking notch 431. Specifically, the two ends of the rotating shaft 600 are rotatably connected to the first bracket 410 and the second bracket 420, respectively. The locking part 610 of the rotating shaft 600 is directly opposite the locking notch 431. The length of the rotating shaft 600 is greater than the distance between the first bracket 410 and the second bracket 420, so that the locking part 610 extends into the locking notch 431 for locking and fixing. There is a distance between the first bracket 410 and the third bracket 430, so that a gap 440 is formed between the first bracket 410 and the third bracket 430.

[0036] In other words, by setting the gap 440, the rotating shaft 600 only needs to move a short distance during the movement to complete the locking and unlocking functions. In some preferred embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the locking part 610 and the locking notch 431 in the locked state, the settlement observation device also includes at least one second elastic member 700. One end of the rotating shaft 600 passes through the first support 410 and has a locking part 610, which is used to face the locking notch 431. The two ends of the second elastic member 700 are respectively used to abut against the side wall of the locking part 610 and the first support 410.

[0037] Specifically, the second elastic element 700 can be a spring, and the first elastic element 300 can also be a spring, without any particular limitation. The second elastic element 700 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft 600.

[0038] In addition, to ensure the stability of the locking bracket 400, the locking bracket 400 is integrally formed with the sleeve 100, and a waterproof ring can be provided between the flip cover 500 and the opening 110. The waterproof ring can prevent the observation rod 200 from being contaminated by rain.

[0039] It should be noted that the two ends of the first elastic element 300 can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 100 and the end of the observation rod 200 respectively to ensure stability.

[0040] In summary, the settlement monitoring device for buildings shown in this embodiment has at least the following advantages compared with settlement monitoring points in the prior art:

[0041] The settlement monitoring device for buildings shown in the application includes a sleeve 100, a monitoring rod 200, a first elastic element 300, a locking bracket 400, a flip cover 500, and a rotating shaft 600 with a locking part 610. A locking notch 431 is provided on the locking bracket 400, and a gap 440 is provided on the locking bracket 400 for the rotating shaft 600 to move. When the flip cover 500 needs to be folded forward, it is first moved laterally, allowing the flip cover 500 to drive the rotating shaft 600 to move laterally, thereby separating the locking part 610 from the locking notch 431. Then, the flip cover 500 is folded upwards, and the elasticity of the first elastic element 300 allows the monitoring rod 200 to pop outwards. This allows staff to hold measuring equipment to measure the observation rod 200. During the measurement process, the flip cover 500 can be moved again, allowing the locking part 610 to extend into the locking notch 431, ensuring the stability of the flip cover 500 when it is folded upwards. Conversely, when it is necessary to retract the observation rod 200 into the sleeve 100, the flip cover 500 is moved again, causing the locking part 610 to separate from the locking notch 431, allowing the flip cover 500 to fold downwards and pushing the observation rod 200 into the sleeve 100. After the observation rod 200 is fully pushed into the sleeve 100, the flip cover 500 is moved again, causing the locking part 610 to re-insert into the locking notch 431, completing the locking function. This makes the operation simple and can be completed without the need for any auxiliary tools.
