Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective wall construction technology; specifically, this utility model relates to a horizontal level and a vertical steel ruler tooling. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of the track structure, the retaining wall (or ballast retaining wall) on the bridge directly affects the laying benchmark and overall alignment of the track slabs due to its longitudinal alignment (smoothness) and levelness. The structural clearance on its inner side must be absolutely guaranteed to ensure that high-speed trains will not come into contact with the fixed structures on either side under any circumstances. During on-site pouring construction, to ensure the forming quality of the retaining wall, the steel formwork needs to be measured to ensure that the elevation, clearance width, and levelness all meet the requirements. Traditional methods of measuring elevation and levelness use a short spirit level to check at a single point, which cannot reflect the overall flatness across adjacent slabs. The clearance width is measured separately using a measuring tape, requiring positioning, straightening, and reading each time, which is inefficient and prone to errors due to tape bending. This results in multiple measurements of various indicators using different tools, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a tooling for a horizontal level and a vertical steel ruler, thereby solving or at least alleviating the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objective, this utility model provides a tooling for a horizontal level and a vertical steel ruler, including a horizontal ruler and two vertical rulers attached to one side of the horizontal ruler. A level bubble is installed on the top of the horizontal ruler. A horizontal strip groove is provided on the horizontal ruler, and a longitudinal strip groove is provided on the vertical ruler. A positioning rod is provided between the horizontal strip groove and the longitudinal strip groove. The end of the positioning rod away from the horizontal ruler passes through the vertical ruler and is threaded with a clamping nut.

[0005] Preferably, a positioning plate is provided between the clamping nut and the longitudinal ruler. The two ends of the positioning plate are inserted into the transverse strip groove. The clamping nut presses the positioning plate against the surface of the longitudinal ruler. The positioning plate is rotatably sleeved on the positioning rod, and the distance between the two ends of the positioning rod is adapted to the width of the transverse ruler.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning rod is a "T"-shaped rod, which has a smooth rod portion that can slide in the transverse and longitudinal strip grooves and a threaded portion that is threaded to the clamping nut. The end of the positioning rod with a larger outer diameter is located on the side of the horizontal ruler away from the vertical ruler, and the outer diameter of the larger end of the positioning rod is greater than the width of the transverse strip groove.

[0007] Preferably, a sliding plate is slidably disposed within the longitudinal strip groove. The sliding plate is slidably sleeved outside the positioning rod. A guide rod is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the sliding plate. An upper sliding plate and a lower sliding plate, which are distributed vertically, are slidably sleeved on the guide rod. A storage spring is connected between the upper sliding plate and the lower sliding plate. A set screw that can abut against the guide rod is provided on the upper sliding plate. The lower sliding plate can abut against the bottom end of the longitudinal strip groove.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the guide rod is provided with a guide groove, and both the upper slide and the lower slide are provided with sliders that slide within the guide groove.

[0009] Preferably, the longitudinal strip groove has an outward expansion groove on the side away from the horizontal ruler, and the slide plate is slidably disposed within the outward expansion groove.

[0010] Preferably, a sleeve is fixedly provided at the top end of the upper sliding plate, the guide rod passes through the sleeve, and the set screw is threaded onto the sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the widths of the upper and lower sliding pieces are adapted to the width of the longitudinal strip groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. By setting a horizontal ruler, a bubble level, and two vertical rulers, the elevation of the top surface of the steel membrane can be checked relatively easily, ensuring the smooth longitudinal alignment of adjacent protective wall panels, and quickly checking the structural clearance width, levelness, etc. It is also convenient, quick, practical, and effective for inspecting finished products.

[0014] 2. By setting horizontal and vertical grooves and clamping nuts, the longitudinal ruler can be adjusted to be parallel to the horizontal ruler and clamped onto it, making it easy to carry. Furthermore, the distance between the two longitudinal rulers and the height of the longitudinal ruler on the horizontal ruler can be adjusted to adapt to different clearance widths and elevations, thus increasing its adaptability.

[0015] 3. By setting the sliding plate to press firmly onto the horizontal ruler, the vertical ruler is stabilized on the horizontal ruler when perpendicular to it, but not directly pressed against it. This allows the vertical ruler to move along the height direction on the surface of the horizontal ruler. Therefore, after the bottom of the vertical ruler contacts the foundation, the relative displacement between the horizontal and vertical rulers is more flexible during the process of placing the horizontal ruler onto the top of the steel membrane. Simultaneously, a storage spring is used to press the vertical ruler firmly onto the foundation, improving its stability and measurement accuracy. The upper sliding plate, storage spring, and lower sliding plate can slide outside the guide rod, allowing adjustment of their overall height according to changes in elevation. They are then fixed with set screws to better adapt to measurements at different elevations. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Embodiment 1 provides a tooling for a horizontal level and a vertical steel ruler, including a horizontal ruler 1 and two vertical rulers 2 attached to one side of the horizontal ruler 1. A horizontal bubble 18 is installed on the top of the horizontal ruler 1. A horizontal strip groove 3 is provided on the horizontal ruler 1, and a vertical strip groove 4 is provided on the vertical ruler 2. A positioning rod 5 is provided between the horizontal strip groove 3 and the vertical strip groove 4. The end of the positioning rod 5 away from the horizontal ruler 1 passes through the vertical ruler 2 and is threaded with a clamping nut 6.

[0026] In its initial state, both vertical rulers 2 are parallel to the horizontal ruler 1 and are pressed firmly onto the surface of the horizontal ruler 1 by the clamping nut 6, making them easy to carry. In use, the two vertical rulers 2 are adjusted to be perpendicular to the horizontal ruler 1, the horizontal ruler 1 is placed on top of the steel membrane, and the two vertical rulers 2 are inserted into the cavity between the two steel membranes. This allows for checking the top elevation, ensuring the longitudinal alignment of adjacent protective wall panels is smooth, and quickly checking the structural clearance width, levelness, etc. It also facilitates finished product inspection, making it convenient, quick, practical, and effective.

[0027] By sliding the positioning rod 5 within the transverse groove 3, the distance between the two longitudinal rulers 2 can be adjusted to better accommodate steel membranes of different net widths. By sliding the positioning rod 5 within the longitudinal groove 4, the downward extension height of the longitudinal ruler 2 can be adjusted to better accommodate different top surface elevations.

[0028] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in Embodiment 2, a positioning plate 7 is provided between the clamping nut 6 and the longitudinal ruler 2. The two ends of the positioning plate 7 are inserted into the transverse strip groove 3. The clamping nut 6 presses the positioning plate 7 against the surface of the longitudinal ruler 2. The positioning plate 7 is rotatably sleeved on the positioning rod 5, and the distance between the two ends of the positioning rod 5 is adapted to the width of the transverse ruler 1.

[0029] In the initial state, the two ends of the positioning plate 7 are located on both sides of the horizontal ruler 1, which can more stably fix the vertical ruler 2 in a state parallel to the horizontal ruler 1, preventing the vertical ruler 2 from deflecting. During use, both ends of the positioning plate 7 are inserted into the transverse groove 3, which can more stably fix the vertical ruler 2 in a state perpendicular to the horizontal ruler 1, preventing the vertical ruler 2 from deflecting and improving measurement accuracy. During use, the positioning plate 7 can be moved away from the horizontal ruler 1 by first loosening the clamping nut 6, so that both ends of the positioning plate 7 are outside the range of the horizontal ruler 1. Then, the positioning plate 7 is rotated, and the clamping nut 6 is tightened to press the positioning plate 7 firmly onto the surface of the vertical ruler 2, so that both the vertical ruler 2 and the positioning plate 7 are stably pressed against the surface of the horizontal ruler 1.

[0030] In a relatively specific embodiment, the positioning rod 5 is a "T" shaped rod. The positioning rod 5 has a smooth rod portion 51 that can slide in the transverse strip groove 3 and the longitudinal strip groove 4, and a threaded portion 52 that is threaded to engage with the clamping nut 6. The end of the positioning rod 5 with a larger outer diameter is located on the side of the horizontal ruler 1 away from the vertical ruler 2, and the outer diameter of the larger end of the positioning rod 5 is greater than the width of the transverse strip groove 3.

[0031] Optionally, a slide plate 8 is slidably disposed in the longitudinal strip groove 4. The slide plate 8 is slidably sleeved outside the positioning rod 5. A guide rod 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the slide plate 8. An upper slide plate 10 and a lower slide plate 11 distributed vertically are slidably sleeved on the guide rod 9. A storage spring 12 is connected between the upper slide plate 10 and the lower slide plate 11. A set screw 13 that can press against the guide rod 9 is provided on the upper slide plate 10. The lower slide plate 11 can abut against the bottom end of the longitudinal strip groove 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, by moving the slide plate 8 within the strip groove, the upper slide plate 10 can be moved outside the guide rod 9, thereby adjusting the positions of the upper slide plate 10, the energy storage spring 12, and the lower slide plate 11 on the guide rod 9. By tightening the set screw 13, the set screw 13 is pressed against the guide rod 9, thereby fixing the upper slide plate 10 on the guide rod 9.

[0033] More specifically, when the clamping nut 6 presses the positioning plate 7, the positioning plate 7 presses the sliding plate 8 against the surface of the horizontal ruler 1. At this time, the vertical ruler 2 can move along the height direction between the positioning plate 7 and the horizontal ruler 1. As the vertical ruler 2 is inserted between the two steel membranes through the lower sliding plate 11 contacting the bottom end of the longitudinal strip groove 4, it moves upward relative to the horizontal ruler 1 after contacting the foundation. At this time, the vertical ruler 2 compresses the energy storage spring 12 upward through the lower sliding plate 11. Thus, the energy storage spring 12, in conjunction with the foundation, can apply force to the vertical ruler 2, maintaining its stability.

[0034] Compared to directly pressing the longitudinal ruler 2 onto the horizontal ruler 1 using the clamping nut 6, this method can alleviate the problem that when the longitudinal ruler 2 extends downwards beyond the steel membrane elevation, the horizontal ruler 1 cannot be effectively placed on top of the steel membrane when the longitudinal ruler 2 is inserted between the two sides of the steel membrane. At the same time, it can prevent the longitudinal ruler 2 from moving upwards on the surface of the horizontal ruler 1 when it is pressed onto the horizontal ruler 1 by the clamping nut 6, thus avoiding wear and deformation.

[0035] Optionally, the surface of the guide rod 9 is provided with a guide groove 14, and both the upper slide plate 10 and the lower slide plate 11 are provided with sliders 15 that slide within the guide groove 14. Specifically, in this embodiment, the guide groove 14 is a strip-shaped groove, and both the upper slide plate 10 and the lower slide plate 11 are provided with circular through holes that are sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 9, with the sliders 15 fixed inside the circular through holes. Through the cooperation of the guide groove 14 and the sliders 15, the stability of the upper slide plate 10 and the lower slide plate 11 can be improved, preventing the upper slide plate 10 and the lower slide plate 11 from deflecting outside the guide rod 9.

[0036] Optionally, an expansion groove 16 is provided on the side of the longitudinal strip groove 4 away from the horizontal ruler 1, and the slide plate 8 is slidably disposed in the expansion groove 16. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the slide plate 8 is "T" shaped, the part of the slide plate 8 away from the horizontal ruler 1 slides in cooperation with the expansion groove 16, and the part of the slide plate 8 close to the horizontal ruler 1 passes through the longitudinal strip groove 4 and fits against the surface of the horizontal ruler 1.

[0037] Optionally, a sleeve 17 is fixedly provided at the top of the upper slide plate 10, the guide rod 9 passes through the sleeve 17, and the set screw 13 is threadedly installed on the sleeve 17. The sleeve 17 is provided with a threaded hole that matches the set screw 13. By providing the sleeve 17, the threaded connection length between the upper slide plate 10 and the set screw 13 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the set screw 13.

[0038] In this embodiment, the widths of the upper slider 10 and the lower slider 11 are adapted to the width of the longitudinal strip groove 4. This arrangement ensures that the longitudinal ruler 2 is fitted outside the upper slider 10 and the lower slider 11 as it moves away from the horizontal ruler 1. Combined with the guide groove 14 and the slider 15 stabilizing the upper slider 10 and the lower slider 11, the longitudinal ruler 2 is not obstructed by the upper slider 10 and the lower slider 11 as it moves away from the horizontal ruler 1, thus making operation more convenient.

[0039] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the above description. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the scope of this utility model.
