Abstract

The capacitance-grating type digital display measuring tape includes a shell, a tape box, a tape body and a capacitance-grating sensor. A rotatable central shaft is disposed in the shell in an axial direction thereof. The tape box is mounted at one side in the shell close to the back side in the shell by the central shaft. A mainspring configured to pre-tighten the tape box is disposed in the tape box. The tape body is wound and collected in a groove in the outer circumference of the tape box. The capacitance-grating sensor is located in a position close to the front side in the shell. A self-adjusting mechanism is disposed at a position, corresponding to the outlet, on the inner wall of the shell. The self-adjusting mechanism automatically adjusts the speed at which the tape body extends out of or retracts into the shell.
