The application relates to a horizontal
measuring instrument for surveying and a measuring method, and belongs to the technical field of horizontal measuring instruments. The horizontal
measuring instrument comprises a mounting platform, the top of the mounting platform is fixedly connected with a first mounting frame, the side wall of the first mounting frame is fixedly connected with a first rotating shaft, the outer wall of the first rotating shaft is rotationally connected with a second connecting frame, the top of the mounting platform is provided with a spherical groove, the side wall of the second connecting frame is provided with a
leveling mechanism, the
leveling mechanism can quickly level and lock the
measuring instrument during measurement, the inner wall of the spherical groove is provided with a
protection mechanism, the
protection mechanism can automatically protect the measuring instrument when the equipment is tilted and falls, the horizontal measuring instrument is horizontally and longitudinally balanced through the gravity of a pull
rope and a leveling ball, the rotating shaft is locked by loosening a pull
handle, leveling is completed, the measuring precision is ensured, the horizontal frame can be quickly unlocked by pulling, the leveling work of the horizontal measuring instrument can be quickly performed, and the work efficiency is improved.
