[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations. Example
[0021] A type of settlement monitoring device, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the system includes a base 1, on which a total station 2 is mounted. The total station 2 is controlled by an external control mechanism and can transmit monitoring data to an external display mechanism. The base 1 is a square ring structure. A mounting base 20 is fixed to the bottom of the total station 2. The mounting base 20 is rotatably mounted in the hollow center of the base 1 via a pivot, and multiple counterweights 21 are mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 20. Thus, when the base 1 moves, the counterweights 21 always face downwards, allowing the total station 2 to automatically maintain a horizontal position.
[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, four pulse wheels 22 are installed at the bottom of the base 1. The pulse wheels 22 are controlled by a motor to control the forward direction of the base 1. To ensure the normal operation of the pulse wheels 22, the following can be configured: a closed-loop wire buried in the ground, with both ends connected to AC power equipment to provide a magnetic field; a set of symmetrical sensors mounted on the top of the base 1 to collect magnetic field signals; a voltage regulator board, outputting 1.5V to power the electromagnetic induction coil, 3.3V to power the microcontroller K60, and 5V to power the motor; the microcontroller K60, mounted on the base 1, stores the collected position information, and DuPont wires connect to various hardware devices; a 5V rechargeable lithium battery; and S-positioning.
[0023] Furthermore, both sides of the base 1 are provided with anti-tipping mechanisms, which include a squeezing member 3, a moving member 13, and a pushing member 7.
[0024] Among them, such as Figure 2-5As shown, the extrusion member 3 has a first insertion part and a first limiting part connected to each other. The first insertion part is configured as a T-shaped plate structure, and the first limiting part is configured as a straight plate structure. Both ends of the first insertion part are connected to the two ends of the first limiting part respectively through connecting plates. The first insertion part is inserted into the side of the base 1 in the horizontal direction and is slidably connected to the base 1. The first limiting part is located on the outside of the base 1. A piston rod 9 is provided at the inner end of the first insertion part, and a piston plate 10 is provided at the inner end of the piston rod 9. The piston plate 10 is placed in the cavity 11 inside the base 1 and is used to compress the air in the cavity 11 in the horizontal direction. Several elastic pawls 17 are provided at the top of the first insertion part. The pawls of the elastic pawls 17 are rotatably connected to the first insertion part through springs. A locking rod 4 is provided on the side end of the piston plate 10 near the first insertion part.
[0025] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the movable part 13 has a second insertion part and a second limiting part connected to each other. The second insertion part includes two rod-shaped units, and the second limiting part is configured as a triangular plate-shaped structure. The two rod-shaped units are respectively connected to the top of both ends of the second limiting part. The opposite sides of the two rod-shaped units are provided with elastic locking heads 14. The second insertion part is inserted vertically into the bottom of the base 1 and is slidably connected to the base 1. The second limiting part is located on the outside of the base 1. The inner end of the second insertion part is connected to the base 1 through the elastic locking heads 14. The upper ends of the two rod-shaped units are connected to the air in the cavity 11 through the through-tube 12. A counterweight wheel 16 is installed on the second limiting part.
[0026] like Figure 2-5 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the pusher 7 has a third insertion part. The lower part of the third insertion part is inserted vertically into the top of the base 1, and the inner end of the third insertion part is rotatably connected to the base 1 through a pivot. The inner side of the third insertion part is also connected to the base 1 through two compression springs 8. The outer end of the third insertion part has a bent part that is inclined outward towards the base 1. Several meshing teeth 18 and an elastic telescopic block 5 are provided on the lower side of the inner end of the third insertion part. The elastic telescopic block 5 is installed in the movable groove 19 opened in the third insertion part through a spring. The meshing teeth 18 can be meshed with the elastic pawl 17. The elastic telescopic block 5 is provided with a latch 6, which is engaged with the latch 4.
[0027] In this embodiment, during operation, when the device encounters a bumpy road section causing the base 1 to tip over, the pressing members 3 on both sides of the base 1 will contact the ground. The pressing members 3 will move inside the side wall of the base 1. When the pressing members 3 move, they will first drive the piston rod 9 and the piston plate 10 to move. When the piston plate 10 moves, it can compress and push the air in the cavity 11 inside the base 1, so that the air enters the through air pipe in the base 1. The air compresses the upper end of the moving member 13, and the elastic clip 14 elastically connected on the moving member 13 will disengage from the groove 15 inside the base 1, and cause the moving member 13 opposite to the pressing member 3 to move. The moving member 13 can drive the counterweight wheel 16 to move, thereby causing the overall center of gravity of the device to deviate.
[0028] Furthermore, the piston plate 10 will drive the locking rod 4 to move. After the locking rod 4 moves, it will disengage from the locking slot 6 on the elastic telescopic block 5. At this time, the pushing member 7, which is rotatably connected to the base 1, will rotate under the thrust of the compression spring 8. After the pushing member 7 rotates, its bent part will press against the ground, thereby pressing the base 1 through the connection between the pushing member 7 and the base 1, causing the base 1 to rotate. Moreover, due to the shift of the center of gravity of the device, the base 1 can more easily flip back to its original position. When the base 1 flips back to its original position, the counterweight wheel 16 collides with the ground. At this time, the counterweight wheel 16 can drive the moving member 13 to move relative to the base 1, thereby causing the second insertion part of the moving member 13 to retract. When the second insertion part of the moving member 13 retracts, the position of the elastic locking head 14 corresponds to the position of the groove 15. Since the elastic locking head 14 is elastically connected to the moving member 13, when the position of the elastic locking head 14 corresponds to the position of the groove 15, the elastic locking head 14 can be locked into the groove 15 again.
[0029] Furthermore, when the moving part 13 moves to the initial position, it can compress the air on its upper side, allowing the air to enter the cavity 11 through the through-tube 12. The air in the cavity 11 can push the piston plate 10 and the piston rod 9 to move the extrusion part 3. After the extrusion part 3 moves, it can push the multiple meshing teeth 18 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pusher part 7 through the elastic pawl 17 at its top, thereby causing the pusher part 7 to rotate in the initial direction. During the movement of the extrusion part 3, the locking rod 4 also moves to the initial position. During the rotation of the pusher part 7, it will drive the elastic telescopic block 5 to rotate, so that the locking rod 4 can re-lock into the slot 6, thus fixing the elastic telescopic block 5 and the pusher part 7.
[0030] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structures made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
