Furthermore, the supporting assembly enables the mounting table and the base to be fixed by cement pouring only once when being connected, thereby solving the problem that in the prior art, the first connecting piece needs to be fixed with the base by cement pouring, and the mounting table needs to be fixed with the base by cement pouring again, which results in high installation cost and low efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechanical installation, and in particular, to a ground interface for installing optical equipment and a method for installing the ground interface. Background Art

[0002] The foundation ring is the interface between most ground-based optical telescopes and the ground foundation. The foundation ring is generally installed before the entire optical telescope is installed. Therefore, its installation method and installation accuracy will, to a certain extent, affect the subsequent installation and use accuracy of the entire optical telescope. Therefore, choosing a suitable, efficient, and convenient foundation ring installation method is particularly important. Currently, the commonly used foundation ring installation process is to first use a cylindrical perforated thin plate as a template, connect it to the anchor hooks through screw holes, and then place it directly above the pier. The anchor hooks and the pier are connected by a first cement pouring. After this, the template is removed. Next, after the foundation ring and the anchor hooks are connected through all the holes on the foundation ring that match the anchor hooks, the foundation ring is placed on the upper surface of the pier and a second cement pouring is performed to finally achieve a stable connection between the foundation ring and the pier. This foundation ring installation method requires the use of a template, but the template needs to be removed after the first cement pouring and is generally not reusable. At the same time, the use of the template increases the operational complexity of the installation process. The impact of cement pouring on the anchor hook causes the hook's axis to deflect, making it more difficult to connect the anchor hook to the foundation ring hole after the formwork is removed. Furthermore, this method requires two cement pourings, increasing time and labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals in the figures represent like or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0033] It is understood that the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the embodiments of the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or components inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0034] The “horizontal” mentioned below refers to the state when it is parallel to the ground, and the “vertical” refers to the state when it is perpendicular to the ground.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 What is shown is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the ground interface of an embodiment of the present application. The ground interface of the embodiment of the present application includes a base 1, a mounting platform 2, a first connecting member 3 for connecting the mounting platform 2 and the base 1, and a support assembly 4 arranged between the base 1 and the mounting platform 2 and used to support the mounting platform 2.

[0037] The mounting platform 2 is used to mount optical equipment such as an optical telescope. It is understandable that the mounting platform 2 is not limited to mounting an optical telescope, but may also be used to mount other similar equipment, such as a radar, a theodolite, and the like.

[0038] The mounting platform 2 is supported by the support assembly 4, allowing the first connecting member 3 to be pre-connected to the mounting platform 2 before being connected to the base 1. This avoids the problem in the related art that the first connecting member 3 must be fixed to the base 1 before being connected to the mounting platform 2, making it difficult to align the mounting points of the first connecting member 3 and the mounting platform 2. This improves the accuracy of the connection between the components, avoids the use of templates, and reduces the installation complexity of the ground interface. Furthermore, the support assembly 4 allows the mounting platform 2 to be fixed to the base 1 with only a single cement pouring, solving the problem in the related art that the first connecting member 3 must be fixed to the base 1 first through cement pouring, and then the mounting platform 2 must be fixed to the base 1 through a second cement pouring, resulting in high installation costs and low efficiency.

[0039] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 2In one embodiment, a second connecting member 11 corresponding to the first connecting member 3 is provided on the base 1, and the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 11 are welded, specifically spot-welded.

[0040] Preferably, the second connecting member 11 is a steel bar, and the first connecting member 3 is also a steel bar, and the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 11 are connected by spot welding.

[0041] In one embodiment, the mounting platform 2 includes an annular structure with a hollow through hole in the middle, such as a foundation ring, and a plurality of connection holes 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the annular structure, for example, six, or even more, and there is no limitation here. The plurality of connection holes 21 are preferably evenly spaced on the circumference of the annular structure, that is, the distance between every two adjacent connection holes 21 is the same.

[0042] Correspondingly, the base 1 is also provided with through holes corresponding to the through holes of the mounting platform 2 .

[0043] The first connecting member 3 is disposed in the connecting hole 21 and is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 2 .

[0044] Specifically, one first connecting member 3 corresponds to one connecting hole 21 , that is, the first connecting members 3 also include a plurality, and the number matches the number of the connecting holes 21 .

[0045] Preferably, a connecting member passes through a connecting hole 21 and is fastened by a flat washer, a spring washer, and a nut, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the first connecting member 3 and the mounting platform 2 .

[0046] Preferably, the first connecting member 3 is a ground hook, and the end thereof away from the mounting platform 2 has a hook-shaped structure.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The support assembly 4 includes a support plate 41, a support base 43 and a leveling member 42. The leveling member 42 is arranged between the support plate 41 and the support base 43, and the support plate 41 can move up and down relative to the leveling member 42. The position of the support plate 41 relative to the support base 43 is adjusted by the leveling member 42.

[0048] Specifically, the support plate 41 is located at the upper end of the support assembly 4, and is used to contact the bottom of the mounting table 2, thereby supporting the mounting table 2. The support base 43 is located at the lower end of the support assembly 4, and is used to contact the top of the base 1. The support plate 41 is movably provided at one end of the leveling member 42, and the other end of the leveling member 42 is connected to the support base 43. The position of the support plate 41 relative to the support base 43 is adjusted by the leveling member 42, specifically, the height of the support plate 41 relative to the support base 43 is adjusted, and then the height of the mounting table 2 located above the support plate 41 relative to the base 1 is adjusted.

[0049] Preferably, the support components 4 include multiple ones, and are evenly spaced along the outer circumference of the base 1. For example, there can be three, with each adjacent two being spaced 120° apart. Of course, there can also be four or six, with four being spaced 90° apart and six being spaced 60° apart. As long as the mounting table 2 can be stably supported, there is no limit on the number of support components 4.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 4-Figure 5 The support plate 41 includes a support body 411 and an adjustment hole 412 provided at the lower portion of the support body 411 . The support plate 41 is threadedly connected to one end of the leveling member 42 through the adjustment hole 412 , and the other end of the adjustment member is connected to the support base 43 .

[0051] Specifically, the support body 411 includes a support end plate 4111, the top of the support end plate 4111 is in contact with the mounting platform 2, the bottom of the support end plate 4111 is provided with a cylindrical structure 4112, and extends downward, and the adjustment hole 412 is provided at the center of the cylindrical structure 4112 and extends along the axial direction of the cylindrical structure 4112 to the bottom of the support end plate 4111.

[0052] When the support plate 41 is threadedly connected to one end of the leveling member 42 through the adjustment hole 412, there is a certain distance between the top of the leveling member 42 and the top of the adjustment hole 412, so that the support plate 41 can move back and forth within this distance range, thereby adjusting the height of the support plate 41 relative to the support base 43, and then adjusting the height of the mounting platform 2 relative to the base 1.

[0053] In one embodiment, the leveling member 42 includes a screw 421, an adjusting nut 422, and a locking nut 423. The support plate 41 is threadedly connected to one end of the screw 421 through the adjusting hole 412, and the other end of the screw is connected to the support base 43. The locking nut 423 and the adjusting nut 422 are arranged on the screw 421. The adjustment nut 422 is used to realize the movement of the support plate 41 relative to the screw 421, thereby adjusting the height of the support plate 41 relative to the support base 43. The locking nut 423 is used to fix the support plate 41 relative to the screw 421, thereby realizing the fixation of the support plate 41 relative to the support base 43.

[0054] Specifically, the screw 421 is provided with an external thread, the adjusting hole 412 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread of the screw 421, the adjusting nut 422 and the screw 421 are preferably formed as one piece, the locking nut 423 is sleeved on the screw 421 and located above the adjusting nut 422, and the locking nut 423 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread of the screw 421.

[0055] When the height needs to be adjusted, the adjusting nut 422 is turned to cause relative displacement between the support plate 41 and the screw rod 421. When adjusted to the appropriate position, the locking nut 423 is turned to make the locking nut 423 abut against the adjusting nut 422, thereby locking the screw rod 421 and keeping the support plate 41 and the screw rod 421 relatively fixed.

[0056] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The other end of the screw 421 is a ball head structure 4211, and a spherical groove 4321 is provided on the support base 43. The ball head structure 4211 is arranged in the spherical groove 4321. The ball head structure 4211 and the spherical groove 4321 form a ball joint connection, thereby avoiding the problem of the screw 421 getting stuck during the height adjustment due to the tilt of the mounting platform 2 during the process of adjusting the height of the mounting platform 2 relative to the base 1.

[0057] Preferably, the support base 43 may include an adapter seat 432 and a support seat 431, the adapter seat 432 at least partially protruding from the upper end of the support seat 431, for example, the adapter seat 432 is sleeved in the hole groove of the support seat 431, the upper part of the adapter seat 432 protrudes from the upper end of the support seat 431, and the upper end of the adapter seat 432 is provided with a spherical groove 4321 matching the ball head structure 4211.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] See also Figure 7 This embodiment provides an installation method for installing the ground interface of the first embodiment, including:

[0060] Connect the first connecting member 3 to the mounting platform 2;

[0061] Placing a support assembly 4 on the base 1;

[0062] Place the mounting platform 2 connected with the first connecting member 3 on the supporting assembly 4;

[0063] Adjust the height of the mounting platform 2 relative to the base 1;

[0064] Cement pouring is performed between the mounting platform 2 and the base 1 .

[0065] Specifically, first, the mounting platform 2 is lifted to an appropriate height by a crane and a wire rope, and then the first connecting member 3 is passed through the connecting hole 21 of the mounting platform 2 arranged along the circumferential direction of its annular structure, and the first connecting member 3 is fastened to the mounting platform 2 using flat washers, spring washers and nuts of appropriate sizes, and the support components 4 are placed on the upper end surface of the base 1 at intervals of 120° along the circumferential direction of the outer circle of the base 1 (that is, there are three support components 4 in this embodiment), the mounting platform 2 is moved by a crane and the through hole of the mounting platform 2 is repeatedly adjusted to a coaxial position with the through hole of the base 1, and within the allowable error range, the mounting platform 2 is slowly lowered by the crane until the outer circumferential table surface of the annular structure of the mounting platform 2 is in good contact with the upper surfaces of the three support components 4, and at this time, the connection between the crane and the mounting platform 2 is disconnected.

[0066] Use an adjustable spanner to rotate the adjusting nut 422 on the screw 421 of the support assembly 4 to adjust the position between the support plate 41 and the screw 421 of each support assembly 4, thereby adjusting the height of the mounting platform 2 relative to the base 1 until it is within the allowable error range. At this point, rotate the locking nut 423 to fix the position of the screw 421 and the support plate 41 of the three support assemblies 4. Then, pour cement between the mounting platform 2 and the base 1 to achieve the fixing of the mounting platform 2 and the base 1.

[0067] This installation method only requires one cement pouring to secure the mounting platform 2 to the base 1. Furthermore, the first connector 3 is pre-aligned with the connection hole 21 of the mounting platform 2, effectively improving the accuracy of the alignment between the first connector 3 and the connection hole 21 of the mounting platform 2. This effectively improves the installation efficiency of the ground interface.

[0068] In one embodiment, adjusting the height of the mounting platform 2 relative to the base 1 includes placing an electronic level on the mounting platform 2, measuring the height difference between different positions of the mounting platform 2, and adjusting the height of the mounting platform 2 relative to the base 1 based on the height difference.

[0069] Specifically, an electronic level is placed on the upper surface of the mounting platform 2, and the different positions and height differences on the upper surface of the mounting platform 2 are found through multi-point measurement. The heights of different positions are then adjusted through the leveling member 42 so that the mounting platform 2 as a whole is in a horizontal state.

[0070] In one embodiment, before cement pouring, the first connecting member 3 is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 11 of the base 1 by spot welding, thereby reducing the impact on the mounting platform 2 caused by cement pouring.

[0071] At this point, the method completes the installation of the ground interface in Example 1.

[0072] By utilizing the ground interface provided in Example 1 of the present application and the installation method provided in Example 2, the problem in the related art that the first connecting member 3 needs to be fixed to the base 1 before being connected to the mounting platform 2, which makes it difficult to align the installation points of the first connecting member 3 and the mounting platform 2, is effectively avoided. The accuracy of the connection between the components is improved, the use of templates is avoided, and the installation complexity of the ground interface is reduced. In addition, through the support component 4, only one cement pouring is required when the mounting platform 2 is connected to the base 1 to complete the fixation, which solves the problem in the related art that the first connecting member 3 needs to be fixed to the base 1 by cement pouring first, and then the mounting platform 2 and the base 1 need to be fixed by a second cement pouring, resulting in high installation costs and low efficiency.
