Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of land surveying technology, and more specifically to an automatic land surveying and mapping device and method. Background Technology
[0002] In land surveying work, in order to complete various complex surveying tasks, staff generally use total station equipment. A total station is a high-tech measuring instrument that integrates electronic angle measurement, electronic distance measurement and microprocessor. Its core function is to accurately determine the three-dimensional coordinates of ground points. For geomorphic feature points within the land survey area, the total station can perform detailed measurements, collect the three-dimensional coordinates of a large number of points, and thus draw an accurate digital topographic map; However, total stations with existing technology still have the following shortcomings in practical use; First, total stations are generally used in open-air environments. When a total station is placed at a measurement point, it will remain at that point for a period of time even after it has not been used or has been used. This increases the risk of the total station being contaminated by the external environment, thus affecting its measurement performance. Secondly, under the current technology, when the airflow in the environment is insufficient, the total station is prone to high temperature during use, which affects its performance. In addition, the dust that accumulates on the machine body cannot be cleaned in time. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, there is a need to provide an automatic land surveying and mapping device and method. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic land surveying and mapping device and method to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] Furthermore, the tripod assembly is also equipped with a limiting air-blowing mechanism.
[0006] Furthermore, the body assembly includes a base plate, the tripod assembly is mounted on the bottom of the base plate, a horizontal adjustment mechanism is mounted on the base plate, a mounting plate is mounted on the horizontal adjustment mechanism, the body is mounted on the mounting plate, a front display screen is provided on the front side of the body, a horizontal control screw is provided on the body, a vertical control screw is provided on the body, an objective lens is mounted on the front side of the body, and a handle is provided at the top of the body.
[0007] Furthermore, a rear display screen is provided on the rear side of the fuselage, and an eyepiece is installed on the rear side of the fuselage component. The eyepiece is equipped with a telescope focusing screw.
[0008] Furthermore, the protective mechanism includes a movable groove, which is formed on the base plate. Connecting shafts are installed on both sides of the movable groove. Cover plates are movably installed on the movable groove through the connecting shafts. The cover plates are assembled with each other to form a complete cover body, and the body assembly is located in the cover body.
[0009] Furthermore, the cover has evenly distributed air grooves, and magnetic strips are installed on the sides of the cover. When the cover is assembled, it is attracted by adjacent magnetic strips. The top of the cover has a top groove, and the cover is also provided with a cover plate. The bottom of the cover plate has a mating edge protrusion. After the air grooves are assembled, the mating edge protrusion and the top groove are mated together.
[0010] Furthermore, dust collection boxes are installed at the bottom of the inner walls on both sides of the cover, a through groove is opened at the upper end of the dust collection box, a filter plate is fixedly installed in the dust collection box, and a fan is installed at the bottom of the dust collection box.
[0011] Furthermore, the filter plate has an opening on its upper inner side, and a soft cotton brush is movably fitted into the opening. The inner wall of the cover plate has a track groove, and a medium air box is fixedly installed in the track groove. Elastic telescopic airbags are symmetrically installed on both sides of the medium air box, and a slider is installed on the outer end of each elastic telescopic airbag. The slider is movably fitted into the track groove.
[0012] Furthermore, a flexible rod is connected between the slider and the soft cotton brush, and air holes are provided on the cover, which are connected to the central air box.
[0013] Furthermore, the limiting air-blowing mechanism includes a mounting cavity plate, which is fixedly mounted on the foot assembly and corresponds to the cover plate respectively. An air pump is installed inside the mounting cavity plate, and the output end of the air pump is fixedly connected to a limiting tube. The end of the limiting tube is nested with the air hole and limits its movement. The present invention also provides a method for using an automatic land surveying and mapping device, comprising the following steps: S1. When using this device, after setting it up at a known location, level the device using the horizontal adjustment mechanism. After inputting the current coordinates and instrument height into the instrument, aim at another known location using the eyepiece and objective lens. A prism can be installed at this location for aiming. After inputting the coordinates and azimuth of this location, take a measurement. Repeat the above operation to obtain point data at different locations. The instrument connects the point data into lines to draw a land topographic map. S2. When the instrument is not in use or has been used and placed in the external environment, the cover pieces are spliced together to form a cover body. The adjacent magnetic strips are attracted and fixed. After the cover plate covers the cover body, the mating edge protrusion matches the top groove to make the cover body stable. S3. When the ambient temperature is too high, the fan starts to exhaust downwards. The airflow flows downwards along the air groove, thereby dissipating heat from the machine body. Dust and impurities attached to the machine body are drawn into the dust collection box with the airflow and are intercepted and filtered by the filter plate. S4. When the cover is opened, it moves downwards, and the air hole engages with the limiting tube. At this time, the air pump is started to blow air into the air box through the limiting tube. The elastic telescopic airbags on both sides begin to expand, causing the slider to push the soft rod and soft cotton brush into the upper space of the filter plate. The soft rod and soft cotton brush will deform in accordance with the curved space when they move. This method is used to clean the dust and impurities intercepted on the filter plate. After the elastic telescopic airbags are reset, the dust brought out by the cleaning will slide down along the inner wall of the cover.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: When the instrument is not in use or has been used and placed in the external environment, the cover pieces are spliced together to form a cover body. The adjacent magnetic strips are attracted and fixed. After the cover plate is placed over the cover body, the mating edge protrusion fits into the top groove to make the cover body stable. This method is used to protect the machine components and prevent the external environment from contaminating the machine body. When the ambient temperature is too high, the fan starts to exhaust downwards, and the airflow flows downwards along the air groove, thereby dissipating heat from the machine. Dust and impurities attached to the machine are drawn into the dust collection box with the airflow and are intercepted and filtered by the filter plate. This is how the machine achieves its heat dissipation and cleaning functions. When the cover is opened, it moves downwards, and the air vents engage with the limiting tube. At this time, the air pump is activated to blow air into the central air box through the limiting tube. The elastic telescopic airbags on both sides begin to expand, causing the slider to push the soft rod and soft cotton brush into the upper space of the filter plate. The soft rod and soft cotton brush deform in accordance with the curved space during movement, thus cleaning the dust and impurities intercepted on the filter plate. After the elastic telescopic airbags return to their original position, the dust carried out by the cleaning will slide down along the inner wall of the cover. This method achieves the cleaning effect on the filter plate. Attached Figure Description

The eyepiece 112 is provided with a telescope focusing screw 113. When using this device, after setting it up at a known location, the device is leveled using the horizontal adjustment mechanism 102. After inputting the current coordinates and instrument height into the instrument, the eyepiece 112 and objective lens 109 are used to aim at another known location. A prism can be installed at this location for aiming. After inputting the coordinates and azimuth of this location, the measurement is performed. By repeating the above operation, point data at different locations can be obtained. The instrument connects the point data into lines to draw a land topographic map. Since the above-described workflow is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, its surveying principles and structural details will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0020] Reference Figures 4-6 The protective mechanism 3 includes a movable groove 301, which is opened on the base plate 101. Connecting shafts 302 are installed on both sides of the movable groove 301. Cover plates 303 are movably installed on the movable groove 301 through the connecting shafts 302. The cover plates 303 are spliced together to form a complete cover. The body assembly 1 is located in the cover. The cover plates 303 are provided with evenly distributed air grooves 304. Magnetic strips 305 are installed on the sides of the cover plates 303. When the cover plates 303 are spliced, they are attracted by adjacent magnetic strips 305. The upper end of the cover plates 303 is provided with a top groove 306. The cover plates 303 are also provided with a cover plate 307. The bottom of the cover plate 307 is provided with a mating edge protrusion 308. After the air grooves 304 are spliced together, the mating edge protrusion 308 and the top groove 306 are mated together. Dust collection boxes 309 are installed at the bottom of the inner walls on both sides of the cover 303. A through groove 310 is opened at the upper end of the dust collection box 309. A filter plate 311 is fixedly installed in the dust collection box 309. A fan 312 is installed at the bottom of the dust collection box 309. An opening is provided on the upper side of the filter plate 311 near the inner position. A soft cotton brush 313 is movably sleeved at the opening. A rail groove 314 is opened on the inner wall of the cover 303. A middle air box 315 is fixedly installed in the rail groove 314. Elastic telescopic airbags 316 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the middle air box 315. A slider 317 is installed on the outer end of each elastic telescopic airbag 316. The slider 317 is movably sleeved in the rail groove 314. A flexible rod 318 is connected between the slider 317 and the soft cotton brush 313. An air hole 319 is opened on the cover 303. The air hole 319 communicates with the middle air box 315. When the device is in use, and the instrument is not in use or has been used and placed in the external environment, the cover plates 303 are spliced together to form a cover body, and the adjacent magnetic strips 305 are attracted and fixed. After the cover plate 307 covers the cover body, the mating edge protrusion 308 and the top groove 306 are mated to make the cover body stable. This method is used to protect the machine body component 1 and prevent the external environment from contaminating the machine body. When the ambient temperature is too high, the fan 312 starts to exhaust downwards, and the airflow flows downwards along the air groove 304, thereby dissipating heat from the machine body. Dust and impurities attached to the machine body are drawn into the dust collection box 309 with the airflow and are intercepted and filtered by the filter plate 311. This is how the machine achieves its heat dissipation and cleaning functions.
[0021] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The limiting air-blowing mechanism 4 includes a mounting cavity plate 401, which is fixedly mounted on the bracket assembly 2 and corresponds to the cover plate 303 respectively. An air pump 402 is installed inside the mounting cavity plate 401. The output end of the air pump 402 is fixedly connected to a limiting tube 403. The end of the limiting tube 403 is nested with the air hole 319 and limits its movement. When the device is in use, after the cover 303 is opened, the cover 303 moves downward, and the air hole 319 engages with the limiting tube 403. At this time, the air pump 402 is started to blow air into the air box 315 through the limiting tube 403. The elastic telescopic air bladders 316 on both sides begin to expand, causing the slider 317 to push the soft rod 318 and the soft cotton brush 313 into the upper space of the filter plate 311. When the soft rod 318 and the soft cotton brush 313 move, they will deform in accordance with the curved space. This method is used to clean the dust and impurities intercepted on the filter plate 311. After the elastic telescopic air bladder 316 returns to its original position, the dust brought out by the cleaning will slide down along the inner wall of the cover 303. This method achieves the cleaning effect of the filter plate 311.
[0022] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When using the device, after setting it up at a known location, the device is leveled using the horizontal adjustment mechanism 102. After inputting the current coordinates and instrument height into the instrument, the eyepiece 112 and objective lens 109 are used to aim at another known location. A prism can be installed at this location for aiming. After inputting the coordinates and azimuth of this location, the measurement is performed. By repeating the above operation, point data at different locations can be obtained. The instrument connects the point data into lines to draw a land topographic map. When the instrument is not in use or has been used and placed in the external environment, the cover plates 303 are spliced together to form a cover body, and the adjacent magnetic strips 305 are attracted and fixed. After the cover plate 307 covers the cover body, the mating edge protrusion 308 and the top groove 306 are mated to make the cover body stable. This method is used to protect the machine body component 1 and prevent the external environment from contaminating the machine body. When the ambient temperature is too high, the fan 312 starts to exhaust downwards, and the airflow flows downwards along the air groove 304, thereby dissipating heat from the machine body. Dust and impurities attached to the machine body are drawn into the dust collection box 309 with the airflow and are intercepted and filtered by the filter plate 311. This is how the heat dissipation and cleaning functions are achieved. When the cover 303 is opened, it moves downwards, and the air hole 319 engages with the limiting tube 403. At this time, the air pump 402 is activated to blow air into the air box 315 through the limiting tube 403. The elastic telescopic airbags 316 on both sides begin to expand, causing the slider 317 to push the soft rod 318 and the soft cotton brush 313 into the upper space of the filter plate 311. The soft rod 318 and the soft cotton brush 313 will deform in accordance with the curved space when they move, and the dust and impurities intercepted on the filter plate 311 will be cleaned in this way. After the elastic telescopic airbags 316 are reset, the dust carried out by the cleaning will slide down the inner wall of the cover 303. The cleaning effect of the filter plate 311 is achieved in this way.
