Detailed Implementation

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a remote sensing observation device of the present invention includes a base 1 and a remote sensing instrument 2. The remote sensing instrument 2 is located above the base 1. A lifting mechanism is provided between the remote sensing instrument 2 and the base 1. Slide grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the middle part of the base 1. Slide seats 12 are slidably assembled in the two slide grooves 11. First protective shells 13 are fixed to the two slide seats 12. The ends of the two first protective shells 13 abut against each other and are located outside the remote sensing instrument 2. A fixing mechanism is provided between the slide seats 12 and the slide grooves 11.

[0032] Both first protective shells 13 have movable grooves on their upper sides, and second protective shells 14 are slidably assembled in the movable grooves. The inner side of the first protective shell 13 has a vertical groove 131. The second protective shell 14 is fixed with a guide block 132 that passes through the vertical groove 131. The upper side of the base 1 is fixed with a guide rail that matches the guide block 132. The guide rail is composed of a horizontal slide rail 133 and an inclined slide rail 134. The horizontal slide rail 133 is horizontally set on the upper side of the base 1. The inclined slide rail 134 is connected to the end of the horizontal slide rail 133. The guide block 132 is located at the end of the horizontal slide rail 133.

[0033] When the device is not in use, the two second protective shells 14 extend out of the movable slots of the first protective shell 13. At this time, the ends of the two first protective shells 13 and the two second protective shells 14 abut against each other, completely enclosing the remote sensing instrument 2. Thus, when the device is not in use, it can provide comprehensive protection for the remote sensing instrument 2, prevent the instrument from being damaged by collisions, and extend the instrument's service life.

[0034] After moving the device to the designated position, release the fixing mechanism between the slide block 12 and the slide groove 11. The operator then slides the two first protective shells 13 to the sides, causing them to move away from each other. The first protective shells 13 will then drive the second protective shell 14 to move synchronously. The guide block 132 connected to the second protective shell 14 will slide horizontally along the horizontal slide rail 133. When the two first protective shells 13 have moved a certain distance away from each other, the guide block 132 will leave the horizontal slide rail 133 and enter the inclined slide rail 134. Therefore, as the first protective shell 13 continues to move, the second protective shell 14 will gradually move downwards and retract into the movable groove. Thus, when the two first protective shells 13 are completely away from the remote sensing instrument 2, the second protective shell 14 will retract into the movable groove of the first protective shell 13. Figure 10 As shown, it will not be located on either side of the remote sensing instrument 2, that is, it will not obstruct the remote sensing instrument 2.

[0035] This invention protects the remote sensing instrument by having a first protective shell and a second protective shell close together, preventing damage from collisions and extending the instrument's lifespan. When the first protective shell is opened, it automatically retracts the second protective shell into its movable slot, without obstructing the remote sensing instrument, making it simple to use.

[0036] The lifting mechanism includes a rectangular shell 21 fixed in the middle of the base 1. A screw 22 is rotatably mounted inside the rectangular shell 21. A rectangular slide plate 23 threadedly connected to the screw 22 is slidably mounted on the rectangular shell 21. A support rod 24 is connected to the upper side of the rectangular slide plate 23. The upper end of the support rod 24 passes through the rectangular shell 21 and is connected to the remote sensing instrument 2. A first helical tooth 25 is fixed at the bottom of the screw 22. A second helical tooth 26 meshing with the first helical tooth 25 is rotatably mounted on the front bottom of the rectangular shell 21. A handle 27 is connected to the front side of the second helical tooth 26.

[0037] When the remote sensing instrument 2 is working, its height can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism. Specifically, the operator turns the handle 27 to drive the second helical tooth 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw 22 to rotate through the first helical tooth 25. Since the rectangular slide plate 23 sliding inside the rectangular shell 21 is threadedly connected to the screw 22, the rotation of the screw 22 can drive the rectangular slide plate 23 to slide upward, which drives the remote sensing instrument 2 to move upward through the support rod 24. Turning the handle 27 in the opposite direction drives the screw 22 to rotate in the opposite direction, which can drive the remote sensing instrument 2 to move downward, thus realizing the height adjustment of the remote sensing instrument 2.

[0038] An L-shaped handle 130 is fixed to the side wall of the first protective shell 13; by setting the L-shaped handle 130, it is convenient for staff to operate the first protective shell 13.

[0039] The fixing mechanism includes a cavity 3 in the middle of the slide block 12. A movable plate 31 is slidably mounted in the cavity 3. The front and rear ends of the movable plate 31 are hinged with hinge rods 32. Sliding grooves are opened on both the front and rear sides of the cavity 3. Locking rods 33 are slidably mounted in both sliding grooves. The two hinge rods 32 are respectively hinged to the two locking rods 33. Two sets of locking grooves 34 matching the locking rods 33 are opened on the left and right sides of the sliding groove 11. A spring 35 is provided between the movable plate 31 and the side wall of the cavity 3. A pull rod 36 is connected to the movable plate 31. The pull rod 36 slides out of the slide block 12 and is connected to a pulling rod 37.

[0040] The upper end of the pull rod 37 is located inside the L-shaped handle 130;

[0041] When the two first protective shells 13 are closed together, the locking rod 33 is located in the locking groove 34 near the middle of the base 1. When the two first protective shells 13 are separated, the operator holds the L-shaped handle 130 and pulls the pulling rod 37 outward with his fingers. The moving plate 31 is driven to move through the pulling rod 36. The moving plate 31 pulls the two locking rods 33 closer to each other through the hinge rod 32, so that the locking rods 33 are disengaged from the locking groove 34, and the fixation between the slide 12 and the slide groove 11 is released. Then the operator can pull the first protective shells 13 to both sides until the two first protective shells 13 are far apart. After the locking rods 33 are aligned with the locking groove 34 far away from the middle of the base 1, the operator releases the pulling rod 37. The spring force of the spring 35 pushes the moving plate 31 to reset, that is, the two locking rods 33 are driven into the locking groove 34 for fixation through the hinge rod 32.

[0042] Therefore, the operator can easily release the fixing between the slide block 12 and the slide groove 11, thereby driving the two protective shells 13 to move. The operation is convenient and easy to use in practice.

[0043] Each of the two second protective shells 14 has a sealing strip on one side of its opposite side; when the two first protective shells 14 are closed together, they can increase the sealing performance and improve the protection effect.

[0044] Both first protective shells 13 are rotatably equipped with circular seats 4 on their front and rear sides. The lower end of the circular seat 4 is equipped with casters 41, and the upper end of the circular seat 4 is fixed with ground nails 42. The circular seat 4 is equipped with a rotating component.

[0045] The rotating assembly includes a strip groove 43 on the base 1, a rectangular block 44 slidably mounted in the strip groove 43, a rotating rod 45 rotatably mounted on the rectangular block 44, the end of the rotating rod 45 being fixedly connected to the circular seat 4, a positioning block 46 being fixed on the upper wall of the end of the strip groove 43, and a rotating groove matching the positioning block 46 on the rotating rod 45. The rotating groove is composed of two horizontal grooves 451 and a spiral groove 452. The two horizontal grooves 451 are located on the left and right sides of the rotating rod 45 and are distributed vertically. The two ends of the spiral groove 453 are connected to the two horizontal grooves 451.

[0046] When the two first protective shells 13 are closed together, the casters 41 are located at the lower end of the circular base 4. At this time, the entire device is supported by the four casters 41. Therefore, when the device is not in use, it can be moved by the casters 41 without manual movement.

[0047] When the device is moved to the designated position, two workers stand on both sides of the device, hold the L-shaped handle 130 and pull the pull rod 37 outward to release the fixation between the slide block 12 and the slide groove 11. At the same time, the device is lifted up a certain distance. Then, the two first protective shells 13 are pulled away from each other. The first protective shell 13 will drive the rectangular block 44 to slide outward in the strip groove 43 through the rotating rod 45. The positioning block 46 is located in the horizontal groove 451 until the spiral groove 453 moves to the bottom of the positioning block 46. The positioning block 46 enters the spiral groove 453 and drives the rotating rod 45 to rotate, which in turn drives the circular seat 4 to rotate. The universal wheel 41 gradually rotates upward and the ground nail 42 rotates downward. After the positioning block 46 enters another horizontal groove 451, the ground nail 42 will face downward.

[0048] Finally, the staff lowered the device, the ground spikes were inserted into the ground, and the bottom of the base 1 was also removed from the ground. So when the two first protective shells 13 were opened, the ground spikes could be automatically oriented downwards, and the device could be fixed by inserting the ground spikes into the ground. The device was more stable when working and less prone to displacement.

[0049] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
