The invention discloses a mechanical wheel type ranging wheel used for measuring a distance in construction operation. The mechanical wheel type ranging wheel structurally comprises a handle, a telescopic rod, an auxiliary hinging mechanism and wheels, wherein the handle is installed at the top end of the telescopic rod, the auxiliary hinging mechanism and the wheels are hinged to the bottom end of the telescopic rod, the auxiliary hinging mechanism mainly comprises a horizontal rod and a hinging plate, the horizontal rod is movably matched with the hinging plate, the hinging plate is providedwith an auxiliary handle, a hub plate, a fixing plate, a side supporting food and a telescopic shaft. According to the mechanical wheel type ranging wheel, the horizontal rod is matched with the hinging plate, a movable rolling shaft capable of moving horizontally on the horizontal rod in a reciprocate mode is utilized and at the same time the side supporting foot is driven to simultaneously move, the hub plate fixed through the side supporting foot can thus be matched with the advancing of the wheels, the hub plate is capable of keeping the contact surface of the wheel being flat, and thus the ranging wheel can carry out surveying and mapping on am uneven pavement.
