Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to a tool ruler for measuring the spacing of roof tiles. Background Technology
[0002] In the restoration of ancient buildings or the construction of replicas, the overlap length or clear distance between tiles must be strictly controlled to ensure waterproofing performance and aesthetic consistency. Currently, workers often use measuring tapes or rely on experience and visual estimation, which is inefficient and prone to error. Some specialized tools, such as the multi-step tile caliper disclosed in patent CN209570094U, are used to control the exposed tile length of multiple layers of tiles. However, their complex structure makes them suitable only for controlling tile overlap, not for directly measuring and setting the horizontal or vertical spacing between two tiles. Furthermore, traditional measurement methods require multiple readings and calculations, which are prone to human error and cannot achieve rapid and intuitive spacing observation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool ruler for measuring the spacing of roof tiles, so as to solve the technical problem of large errors in the existing technology.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the roof tile spacing measuring tool ruler involved in this utility model adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a tool ruler for measuring the spacing of roof tiles, including a fixed ruler, a connector fixed to one side of the fixed ruler, and a movable ruler that is limited and slidably engaged with the connector. The fixed ruler and the movable ruler are respectively engraved with scales in the same direction and on the same side. The scale on the movable ruler is located closer to the fixed ruler. The sliding direction of the movable ruler along the fixed ruler is parallel to the direction of the scale on the fixed ruler. The distance from the starting position of the scale on the fixed ruler to its end is the same as the distance from the starting position of the scale on the movable ruler to its end. One side wall of the connector corresponds to the starting position of the scale on the fixed ruler.
[0005] Preferably, the connector has a cavity groove parallel to the extension direction of the movable ruler, and a threaded hole communicating with the cavity groove is provided on the side wall of the connector away from the movable ruler. The connector is also threaded with a locking bolt that mates with the threaded hole. The user locks the relative position of the movable ruler and the fixed ruler by turning the locking bolt against the movable ruler.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a tool ruler for measuring the spacing of roof tiles. Compared with the prior art, the fixed ruler and the movable ruler have the same scale direction, are located on the same side, and have their starting points aligned. By aligning the ends of the two rulers with the edges of the two tiles respectively, the same indication on the movable ruler and the fixed ruler indicates that the distance is the same. This allows for quick determination of whether the spacing meets the requirements, simplifies the measurement process, and avoids human error caused by calculation. Attached Figure Description
[0007] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below: Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the usage status of the tool ruler; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the tool ruler.
[0008] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached drawings: 1. Fixed ruler; 2. Movable ruler; 3. Connector; 4. Dimension. Detailed Implementation
[0009] To make the technical objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0010] This utility model provides a tool ruler for measuring the spacing of roof tiles, as shown in the figure. It includes a fixed ruler 1 and a movable ruler 2. A connector 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed ruler 1. A scale 4 is engraved on the same side surface of the fixed ruler 1 and the movable ruler 2. A cavity groove parallel to the extension direction of the scale 4 is opened inside the connector 3. One end of the movable ruler 2 extends into the cavity groove and can slide along it.
[0011] The fixed ruler 1 and the movable ruler 2 have the same scale direction. One side wall of the connecting piece 3 is aligned with the starting position of the scale 4 of the fixed ruler 1, and the distance from the starting end of the two scale lines to the end of their corresponding rulers is the same. That is, the distance from the starting position of the scale 4 of the fixed ruler 1 to its end is L, and the distance from the starting position of the scale 4 of the movable ruler 2 to its end is also L.
[0012] The outer wall of the connector 3 is provided with a threaded hole, which is connected to the cavity groove. A locking bolt is threaded into the threaded hole. When screwed, its end can press against the movable ruler 2 to achieve locking. Furthermore, the threaded hole is located on the side of the connector 3 away from the fixed ruler 1.
[0013] When using this device, slide the movable ruler 2 according to the tile spacing required by the design, so that the distance from one side wall of the connector 3 to the scale on the movable ruler 2 is equal to the required spacing. Tighten the locking bolt 7, and align the ends of the fixed ruler 1 and the movable ruler 2 with the edges of the two tiles to be installed, so that the spacing can be quickly calibrated.
[0014] The aforementioned scale 4 consists of multiple graduation marks evenly spaced along the length of the fixed scale 1 (and the movable scale 2). These graduation marks are one or more of the following: grooves engraved on the surface of the scale body, etched lines, silkscreen lines, or embedded metal strips. Preferably, the graduation marks are laser-engraved grooves with a depth of 0.1~0.5mm, and the spacing between adjacent graduation marks is 1mm or 5mm, wherein the zero graduation mark is aligned with the end of the scale body. Alternatively, equally spaced marks of different shapes can be used to distinguish different locations.
[0015] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustration and not for limiting the technical solutions of this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions and modifications or partial substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
