[0036] The following describes two implementation modes of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] The first implementation method:
[0038] The present invention provides a high-precision laser level. Figure 1-5 , including a base 1, an outer shell cover 2 and a laser level body installed on the top of the base 1, and a supporting foot 3 installed on the bottom of the base 1.
[0039] A sealing structure is provided between the base 1 and the outer shell 2, and the sealing structure includes a first sealing ring 4, a second sealing ring 5 and an oil seal unit 6. The first sealing ring 4 and the second sealing ring 5 are both fixed to the bottom end of the outer shell 2, and the first sealing ring 4 is located on the outside of the second sealing ring 5. An annular sealing groove 101 for installing the oil seal unit 6 is provided at the upper end of the base 1, and the second sealing ring 5 is adapted to the annular sealing groove 101. The oil seal unit 6 includes a flexible oil storage ring 61, a sealing pressure ring 62 and a reset ring 64. Spring 63, the flexible oil storage ring 61 is located at the inner bottom end of the annular sealing groove 101, the sealing pressure ring 62 is located on the upper side of the flexible oil storage ring 61, and the sealing pressure ring 62 is vertically slidably fitted on the inner wall of the annular sealing groove 101, a plurality of return springs 63 are provided, and a plurality of return springs 63 are vertically fixed between the bottom end of the sealing pressure ring 62 and the inner bottom end of the annular sealing groove 101, the inner side of the flexible oil storage ring 61 is immersed in sealing oil, and an oil hole 6202 is vertically provided on the sealing pressure ring 62.
[0040] Based on the matching arrangement of the above structure, after the outer shell cover 2 and the base 1 are assembled, the first sealing ring 4 serves as the first outer sealing structure, which can effectively prevent the infiltration of external dust and water vapor. The second sealing ring 5 cooperates with the oil seal unit 6 as the second inner sealing structure. The sealing oil can be used to further improve the sealing between the base 1 and the outer shell cover 2, and the sealing oil can adhere to the small amount of dust that penetrates, thereby preventing the dust from penetrating into the inner side of the outer shell cover 2, thereby better protecting the internal components of the laser level, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of the laser level.
[0041] It should be further explained that the sealing oil forms an oil film at the second sealing ring 5 to achieve oil sealing. In combination with the viscosity of the sealing oil, the amount of the sealing oil is set so as not to overflow the annular sealing groove 101 .
[0042] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the upper end surface of the sealing pressure ring 62 is provided with an annular oil seal groove 6201, and the annular oil seal groove 6201 is connected with the oil hole 6202; the annular oil seal groove 6201 can store the sealing oil, so that the sealing oil forms a seal with the second sealing ring 5.
[0043] When the sealing pressure ring 62 is not in contact with the second sealing ring 5 , the lower end surface of the sealing pressure ring 62 is not higher than the upper end surface of the base 1 , so as to prevent the sealing pressure ring 62 from being forced out of the annular oil seal groove 6201 .
[0044] There are multiple oil holes 6202, and the multiple oil holes 6202 are evenly arranged around the sealing pressure ring 62; when the sealing pressure ring 62 is pressed down, the sealing oil can be squeezed out evenly.
[0045] Among them, Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is shown that an auxiliary oil return column 64 is arranged on the inner side of the multiple oil holes 6202, and the auxiliary oil return column 64 is integrated on the upper end surface of the flexible oil storage ring 61; the auxiliary oil return column 64 and the flexible oil storage ring 61 both use an oil storage material similar to a sponge, and the auxiliary oil return column 64 can absorb the sealing oil in the annular oil seal groove 6201 to prevent the sealing oil from forming an oil film at the oil hole 6202 so that the sealing oil cannot flow back to the flexible oil storage ring 61.
[0046] As a further limitation, the upper and lower end surfaces of the flexible oil storage ring 61 are respectively fixed to the bottom end of the sealing pressure ring 62 and the inner bottom end of the annular sealing groove 101, and air bags are distributed in the flexible oil storage ring 61; the flexible oil storage ring 61 can expand and contract with the reset spring 63, thereby achieving a stable oil absorption effect, and the set air bags can ensure that the sealing oil can form a complete sealing effect with the second sealing ring 5.
[0047] Second implementation method:
[0048] On the basis of Embodiment 1, this embodiment adds the following structure, so that the present application has the function of automatically adjusting the internal air pressure of the outer shell cover 2, and the specific configuration is as follows: a pressure regulating device 7 is installed at the side end of the outer shell cover 2 to keep the air pressure inside the outer shell cover 2 consistent with the external air pressure; about the pressure regulating device 7, specifically, as Figure 6-8As shown, the pressure regulating device 7 includes a pressure regulating box body 71 fixed on the outer wall of the outer shell cover 2, a second air pipe 73 and a first air pipe 72 respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the pressure regulating box body 71, and a pressure regulating block 74 slidably arranged on the inner side of the pressure regulating box body 71. The end of the second air pipe 73 away from the pressure regulating box body 71 is fixed to the outer shell cover 2 and connected to the inner side of the outer shell cover 2. The circumference of the pressure regulating block 74 slides and fits in the middle of the inner side of the pressure regulating box body 71. During the installation process of the outer shell cover 2 and the base 1, the pressure regulating block 74 is located in the middle of the inner side of the pressure regulating box body 71. During use, the pressure regulating block 74 can be used to automatically adjust the internal and external air pressure difference of the outer shell cover 2 (such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the air pressure inside the outer shell 2 is Pa1, and the air pressure outside the outer shell 2 is Pa2. Figure 7 In the embodiment, the external air pressure Pa2 of the outer shell 2 is greater than the internal air pressure Pa1 of the outer shell 2. At this time, the external air pressure Pa2 of the outer shell 2 pushes the pressure regulating block 74 to move upward so that Pa1 and Pa2 tend to be consistent; Figure 8 In the embodiment, the external air pressure Pa2 of the outer shell cover 2 is less than the internal air pressure Pa1 of the outer shell cover 2. At this time, the internal air pressure Pa1 of the outer shell cover 2 pushes the pressure regulating block 74 to move downward to make Pa1 and Pa2 tend to be consistent) so that the internal and external air pressure difference of the outer shell cover 2 is in the minimum state, thereby effectively reducing the influence of the internal and external air pressure difference of the outer shell cover 2 on the measurement accuracy.
[0049] Among them, the pressure regulating block 74 is made of lightweight material to reduce the influence of its own gravity on the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the outer shell cover 2. A filter cover 75 is detachably installed on the outside of the first air pipe 72 to prevent external dust and other debris from entering the inside of the pressure regulating box 71.
[0050] Among them, Figure 6 As shown, a drying device 76 is installed on the inner wall of the pressure regulating box 71 close to the first air pipe 72; the drying device 76 can absorb the water vapor carried in the air there to prevent the water vapor from adhering to the inner wall of the pressure regulating box 71 and causing difficulty in moving the pressure regulating block 74.
[0051] A transparent window is integrated at the side end of the voltage regulating box 71 , and the color of the voltage regulating block 74 is different from the colors of the outer shell cover 2 and the voltage regulating box 71 ; the operator can observe the position of the voltage regulating block 74 through the transparent window.
[0052] Compared with the prior art, in this solution, after the outer shell 2 and the base 1 are assembled, the first sealing ring 4 is used as the first outer sealing structure to effectively prevent the infiltration of external dust and water vapor. The second sealing ring 5 cooperates with the oil seal unit 6 as the second inner sealing structure. The sealing oil can be used to further improve the sealing between the base 1 and the outer shell 2. The sealing oil can adhere to a small amount of infiltrated dust to prevent the dust from infiltrating the inner side of the outer shell 2, better protect the internal components of the laser level, and thus ensure the measurement accuracy of the laser level.
[0053] Compared with the prior art, in the present solution, by installing a pressure regulating device 7 on the side end of the outer shell cover 2, the pressure regulating block 74 can be used to automatically adjust the internal and external air pressure difference of the outer shell cover 2 during use, so that the internal and external air pressure difference of the outer shell cover 2 is in a minimum state, thereby effectively reducing the influence of the internal and external air pressure difference of the outer shell cover 2 on the measurement accuracy, and further improving the measurement accuracy of the laser level.
[0054] In view of current practical needs, the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to the scope of protection. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
