Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical equipment packaging design technology, and specifically to a packaging box for optical observation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Measurement optical photography equipment is a precision measuring instrument. During transportation, it needs to be packaged in a shock-absorbing and impact-resistant outer box. When working, it needs to be supported by a stable tripod or base. Outdoor observation often uses a combination of camera and tripod. The two are packaged and transported separately. When in use, they are taken out of the packaging box, assembled and set up, and put into working condition. This combination doubles the volume and number of equipment boxes during transportation.

[0003] Photogrammetric equipment used for long-term observation requires stable setup. Lightweight surveying tripods are designed for easy movement and are commonly used with portable observation equipment such as total stations, requiring on-site supervision; they are not suitable for setting up observation equipment in situations where it is unattended for extended periods. Professional photographic tripods are generally sturdier and heavier to enhance stability; equipping each observation and photography unit with a tripod doubles the overall weight and the number of packaging boxes.

[0004] This invention is proposed to address the aforementioned shortcomings of related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The packaging box for the optical observation equipment designed in this invention can at least partially solve the above problems.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a packaging box for optical observation equipment, comprising: a box body and a box lid, wherein the opening of the box body and the opening of the box lid can be engaged to form a packaging space for accommodating the optical observation equipment, and the first end of the box body along its length and the first end of the box lid along its length can be rotatably connected to switch between a packaging state and a support state. When the packaging box is in the packaging state, the box body and the box lid are engaged to form the packaging space. When the packaging box is in the support state, the first end face of the box body is supported below the first end face of the box lid, and the second end face of the box lid has a gimbal base for detachably connecting to the optical observation equipment.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first end face of the housing and the first end face of the lid are connected by a hinged hinge to form a flip-up connection.

[0008] In some embodiments, a first positioning mechanism is further included between the first end face of the box body and the first end face of the box lid. The first positioning mechanism includes a first snap-fit ​​positioning member located on the first end face of the box body and a second snap-fit ​​positioning member located on the first end face of the box lid. When the packaging box is in the supported state, the first snap-fit ​​positioning member and the second snap-fit ​​positioning member are snap-fitted and positioned.

[0009] In some embodiments, with reference to the orientation of the packaging box in the supported state, the rotation axis of the hinged hinge extends along a first direction. The first snap-fit ​​positioning member includes a first strip, and the second snap-fit ​​positioning member includes two parallel second strips spaced apart. The cross-sections of the first and second strips are both isosceles trapezoids. The lengths of the first and second strips extend along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction on a horizontal plane. The gap between the two second strips forms a limiting groove. When the packaging box is in the supported state, the first strip is embedded in the limiting groove; and / or, the first snap-fit ​​positioning member and the second snap-fit ​​positioning member are integrally formed with the two pages of the hinged hinge.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first strip has a locking bar at the end away from the hinge and a first elastic member that applies elastic force to the middle position of the locking bar. The second strip has a locking groove at the end away from the hinge. When the packaging box is in the supported state, both ends of the locking bar can be locked in the locking groove along the height direction under the force of the first elastic member.

[0011] In some embodiments, the gimbal base is disposed on the end plate of the box cover, and the end plate is pivotally connected to the side wall of the box cover via a pivot, so that the gimbal base can be flipped and switched between the inside and outside of the box cover, and a second positioning mechanism is provided between the end plate and the side wall of the box cover.

[0012] In some embodiments, retractable rigid support rods are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the four edges extending along the length direction of the lid; and / or, retractable leveling feet are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the four edges extending along the length direction of the box body, the leveling feet extending from the four corners of the second end face of the box body.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first end of each of the retractable rigid support rods is hinged to the four corner regions of the first end of the box cover and is located on the outside of the box cover, and the second end of each of the retractable rigid support rods is rotatably connected to the four corner regions of the second end of the box cover.

[0014] In some embodiments, with reference to the orientation of the packaging box in a supported state, the four long edges of the box lid extending along the height direction respectively form recessed areas that are recessed inward, and each of the retractable rigid support rods is respectively accommodated in the corresponding recessed area.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first end of the retractable rigid support rod is provided with an outward angle limiting structure.

[0016] Packaging box for the optical observation equipment of this invention:

[0017] By rotatably connecting one end of the box body and the lid, the packaging box of this invention can switch between an open support state and a packaged state. That is, while the packaging box of this invention can effectively protect and shock absorb optical observation equipment from external impacts, it can also be used as a support base for optical observation equipment as needed. This achieves dual-purpose packaging box, eliminating the need for a separate tripod for optical observation equipment, removing redundant items, effectively reducing the weight and volume of optical observation equipment during transportation, and making installation quick and easy.

[0031] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that the invention will be thorough and complete, and the concept of the exemplary embodiments will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of regions and layers is exaggerated. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0032] The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a full understanding of embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details described, or other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the invention.

[0033] The following example describes a packaging box for the optical observation equipment of the present invention. This example is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a packaging box for an optical observation device is provided, comprising: a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The opening of the box body 1 and the opening of the box cover 2 can be engaged to form a packaging space for accommodating the optical observation device. The first end of the box body 1 in the length direction and the first end of the box cover 2 in the length direction can be rotatably connected to each other to realize the switching between the packaging state and the support state of the packaging box. When the packaging box is in the packaging state, the box body 1 and the box cover 2 are engaged to form the packaging space. When the packaging box is in the support state, the first end face of the box body 1 is supported under the first end face of the box cover 2. At this time, the box body 1 and the box cover 2 are joined to form a support base, and the second end face of the box cover 2 has a gimbal base 3, which is used for detachable connection with the optical observation device. It is understandable that the aforementioned gimbal mount 3 should have functions for angle adjustment and precise leveling (e.g., adjustment via the leveling feet 6 described later and judgment via the bubble 34 on the gimbal mount 3), as well as a locking function after adjustment, to ensure normal observation application after the aforementioned optical observation equipment is connected to it. As a standard adjustment and connection component in the industry, the gimbal mount 3 with the aforementioned functions can theoretically be used with any gimbal mount compatible with the optical observation equipment packaged in the box. The aforementioned packaging state refers to the state where the box body 1 and the box cover 2 are fastened together, forming a protective package for the optical observation equipment placed inside. The supporting state refers to the state where the box body 1 and the box cover 2 rotate to a certain angle to serve as a support for the optical observation equipment.

[0035] In this technical solution, by rotatably connecting one end of the box body 1 and the box cover 2, the packaging box of the present invention can switch between a support state and a packaging state. That is, the packaging box of the present invention can not only provide packaging, containment, protection and shock absorption for optical observation equipment, but also be used as a support base for optical observation equipment as needed. This realizes the dual purpose of the packaging box, eliminating the need for a separate tripod for optical observation equipment, removing redundant items, effectively reducing the weight and volume of optical observation equipment during transportation, and making installation quick and easy.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the first end face of the box body 1 and the first end face of the box cover 2 are connected by a hinged hinge 41 to form a flip-able connection, so that the switching between the packaging state and the support state of the packaging box is achieved by flipping 180°, which is simple in structure and convenient in operation.

[0037] In some embodiments, a first positioning mechanism (not shown in the figure) is further included between the first end face of the box body 1 and the first end face of the box cover 2. The first positioning mechanism includes a first snap-fit ​​positioning member 11 located on the first end face of the box body 1 and a second snap-fit ​​positioning member 12 located on the first end face of the box cover 2. When the packaging box is in the supported state, the first snap-fit ​​positioning member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​positioning member 12 are snap-fitted and positioned.

[0038] In this technical solution, by setting a first positioning mechanism on the corresponding end faces of the box body 1 and the box cover 2, the packaging box in the supported state can be positioned to ensure the reliable and stable support state.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, with reference to the orientation of the packaging box in the supported state, the rotation axis of the hinge 41 extends along a first direction (e.g., Figure 3 (in the horizontal left and right directions of the indicated range), the first snap-fit ​​positioning member 11 includes a first strip 111, and the second snap-fit ​​positioning member 12 includes two parallel second strips 121. The cross-sections of the first strip 111 and the second strip 121 are both isosceles trapezoids. The lengths of the first strip 111 and the second strip 121 extend along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction on the horizontal plane. The gap between the two second strips 121 forms a limiting groove (not indicated in the figure). When the packaging box is in the supported state, the first strip 111 is embedded in the limiting groove. It is understood that the shape and size of the aforementioned limiting groove are consistent with the shape and size of the first strip 111, that is, the cross-section of the limiting groove is also an isosceles trapezoid.

[0040] In this technical solution, when the packaging box is in a supported state, the first strip 111, which is fixedly connected to the lid 2, will be embedded in the limiting groove formed by the two second strips 121, which are fixedly connected to the box body 1. Since the length extension direction of the aforementioned strips is perpendicular to the first direction, together with the hinge 41, the box body 1 and the lid 2 are locked in position on the horizontal plane. This locking process is realized simultaneously when the box body 1 and the lid 2 switch to the supported state, without the need for separate operation, which is very convenient.

[0041] It is understandable that after the first strip 111 is fitted into the limiting groove, it is preferable to also limit the displacement of the box body 1 and the box cover 2 in the height direction. This can be achieved by providing corresponding locking structures on both the box body 1 and the box cover 2. However, as a more preferred embodiment, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first strip 111 has a locking rod 112 at one end away from the hinge 41 and a first elastic element 113 (a spring with sufficient elastic force can be used) that applies elastic force to the middle position of the locking rod 112. The second strip 121 has a locking groove 122 at one end away from the hinge 41. When the packaging box is in the supported state, both ends of the locking rod 112 can be locked in the locking groove 122 along the height direction under the force of the first elastic element 113.

[0042] In this technical solution, when the packaging box is in a supported state, the locking rod 112 of the first strip 111 is located in the locking groove 122 of the second strip 121, thereby forming a lock between the two stacked boxes 1 and the box cover 2 in the height direction, which makes the supported state of the packaging box more reliable and stable.

[0043] See details Figure 3 As shown, the first elastic element 113 is clamped between the locking rod 112 and the first strip 111. Force is applied to the locking rod 112, causing it to bulge outwards away from the hinged hinge 41. The opening of the locking groove 122 is located near the hinged hinge 41, while the receiving groove of the locking groove 122 is located away from the hinged hinge 41. Thus, when the end of the locking rod 112 enters the receiving groove through the opening, the end of the locking rod 112 is reliably positioned within the receiving groove under the elastic force of the first elastic element 113. Furthermore, to ensure smooth entry of the locking rod 112 into the receiving groove, the opening of the locking groove 122 has a slope near the receiving groove. This slope guides the locking rod 112 to the opening position and into the receiving groove. Thus, it is understandable that when both the box body 1 and the box lid 2 are opened to switch the packaging box from the packaging state to the supporting state, under the constraint of the aforementioned hinged joint 41, the first end faces of the box body 1 and the box lid 2 approach each other. Under the limiting action of the aforementioned first strip 111 and second strip 121 with the cross-section of an isosceles trapezoid, the two ends of the aforementioned locking rod 112 can overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 113 and enter the locking groove 122 under the action of the weight of the box lid 2, thereby forming a limiting lock on both the box body 1 and the box lid 2 in all directions. The operation is very simple.

[0044] In another preferred embodiment, a force-applying unlocking lever (not indicated in the figure) is also provided on the aforementioned locking lever 112. When it is necessary to switch the packaging box from the supported state to the packaged state, the operator applies force to the force-applying unlocking lever, thereby driving the locking lever 112 to move along the side near the hinged joint 41 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 113, thereby causing both ends of the locking lever 112 to move to the slot position of the locking groove 122 and disengage.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​positioning member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​positioning member 12 are integrally formed with the two pages of the hinged hinge 41. For example, the aforementioned first snap-fit ​​positioning member 11 and second snap-fit ​​positioning member 12 can be welded to the hinged hinge 41 to form a whole, thereby reducing the number of assembly parts of the packaging box and simplifying the assembly process. Multiple through holes are provided on the hinged hinge 41 and each strip, and bolts can be passed through the through holes to connect to the box body 1 and the box cover 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, the gimbal mount 3 is mounted on the end plate 21 of the box cover 2. The end plate 21 is pivotally connected to the side wall of the box cover 2 via a pivot (not labeled in the figure), allowing the gimbal mount 3 to be flipped between the inside and outside of the box cover 2. A second positioning mechanism is provided between the end plate 21 and the side wall of the box cover 2. This second positioning mechanism can be implemented using conventional slots, positioning pins, or quick-locking devices to ensure that the position of the end plate 21 is stable and reliable regardless of whether the gimbal mount 3 is inside or outside the box cover 2. Specifically, the end plate 21 at the second end of the box cover 2 is pivotally connected to the side wall of the box cover 2 via a pivot. By flipping the end plate 21, the gimbal mount 3 can be flipped inside the box cover 2 for protection during packaging and transportation. When optical observation is required, the end plate 21 is flipped 180° so that the gimbal mount 3 is on the outside of the box cover 2.

[0047] In this technical solution, the gimbal mount 3 is mounted on the end plate 21 at the second end of the case cover 2. The end plate 21 is designed to pivotally connect with the side wall of the case cover 2. This allows the gimbal mount 3 to be rotated into the case cover 2 in the packaged state, and rotated out of the case cover 2 in the supported state. Optical observation equipment can then be connected to the gimbal mount 3. This technical solution, by flipping the end plate 21, eliminates the need to disconnect the gimbal mount 3 from the end plate 21 of the case cover 2 when in use or not, further facilitating the observation process and improving operational efficiency.

[0048] See details Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in one specific implementation, the gimbal base 3 includes an azimuth adjustment plate 31, which can be directly fixed to the end plate 21, or indirectly connected through other intermediate components. The azimuth adjustment plate 31 has a corresponding azimuth adjustment groove (on a horizontal plane). The pitch adjustment plate 32 and its components are azimuthally adjustable within the corresponding azimuth adjustment groove via corresponding azimuth positioning bolts 311. The aforementioned pitch adjustment plate 32 has a corresponding pitch adjustment groove (on a vertical plane). The optical observation equipment quick-release shoe 33 is azimuthally adjustable within the corresponding pitch adjustment groove via corresponding pitch positioning bolts 321, thereby achieving precise pitch and azimuth adjustment of the optical observation equipment. Generally, the aforementioned gimbal base 3 also includes a bubble level 34 to guide operators in adjusting the extension length of the leveling legs 6 to adjust the levelness of the top surface of the support base, and to quickly confirm the instrument's horizontal status through the gimbal bubble level 34.

[0049] In some embodiments, retractable rigid support rods 5 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the four edges extending along the length direction of the lid 2. For example, when the lid 2 is a cuboid, one of the aforementioned retractable rigid support rods 5 is connected to each of its four parallel edges. When the packaging box is in a supported state, each retractable rigid support rod 5 can be extended, and its bottom end can be supported on the ground to form a diagonal brace for the entire packaging box in a vertical state, increasing the support area of ​​the packaging box and ensuring structural stability during observation. When observation is not required, the retractable rigid support rods can be retracted and fitted with each edge to form a storage structure (e.g., each support rod is snapped and fixed to the corresponding edge), facilitating the transportation of the packaging box. The aforementioned retractable rigid support rods can be commercially available telescopic rods, and their extended and retracted lengths should match the length of the packaging box in both states.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the first end of each of the retractable rigid support rods 5 is hinged to the four corner areas of the first end of the box cover 2 (connected by a pivot structure) and located on the outside of the box cover 2. The second end of each of the retractable rigid support rods 5 is rotatably connected to the four corner areas of the second end of the box cover 2 (using a traditional locking pin structure to ensure selective locking of its position). That is, when it is necessary to support the packaging box, the second end of the retractable rigid support rod 5 is disengaged from the second end of the box cover 2 and then folded outward toward the side closer to the box body 1, i.e., the first end of the box cover 2. The folding angle can be reasonably determined according to actual needs. Since the first end of the retractable rigid support rod 5 is close to the side of the box body 1, its final maximum extension length can be designed to be smaller, reducing costs and significantly reducing the weight of the entire packaging box, thus improving the portability of the packaging box.

[0051] In some embodiments, with reference to the orientation of the packaging box in the supported state, the four long edges of the box cover 2 extending along the height direction respectively form recessed areas (not indicated in the figure). Each of the retractable rigid support rods 5 is respectively housed in the corresponding recessed area. In this way, when the packaging box is in the packaged state, each retractable rigid support rod 5 is located in the corresponding recessed area and will not protrude from the outside of the box cover 2, which can prevent damage caused by collision between the retractable rigid support rod 5 and the external structure.

[0052] See details Figure 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the aforementioned retractable rigid support rod 5 includes an outer tube 51 and an inner tube 52. The inner tube 52 is inserted into the hollow body of the outer tube 51, thereby allowing adjustment of the relative axial position of the inner tube 52 and the outer tube 51 to achieve length extension and retraction. After normal adjustment, the axial position of the inner tube 52 and the outer tube 51 can be locked (or contact locked) by the cam locking buckle 53. One end of the outer tube 51 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the box cover 2 via connecting blocks 511. The free end of the inner tube 52 is connected to a support leg 521, which is used to increase the contact area between the inner tube 52 and the bottom surface to ensure the stability of the support. The lengths of the aforementioned inner tube 52 and outer tube 51 should be slightly shorter than the length of the box cover 2.

[0053] The four inner sides of the four edges extending along the length of the housing 1 are fixedly connected to retractable leveling feet 6. These leveling feet 6 extend from the four corners of the second end face of the housing 1, allowing them to cooperate with the leveling structure of the aforementioned gimbal 3 to adjust the levelness of the optical observation equipment. Specifically, the leveling feet 6 can be telescopic rods to increase the axial length adjustment range of the leveling feet 6, thereby improving the adaptability of the packaging box to different ground conditions. Their specific structure can also adopt the same structure as the aforementioned retractable rigid support rod 5, which will not be elaborated here.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first end of the retractable rigid support rod 5 is provided with an outward turning angle limiting structure (not shown or indexed in the figure). Specifically, the aforementioned outward turning angle limiting structure is used to limit and lock the maximum outward turning angle of the retractable rigid support rod 5. Generally, the maximum outward turning angle is 120° to 150°.

[0055] The aforementioned leveling legs 6 can be used to adjust the overall height of the support base formed by the box body 1 and the box cover 2 and the levelness of the top gimbal 3 in the supported state. When the inner tube of the leveling legs 6 is fully retracted to fully extended, the height of the support base can be adjusted between 2 and 3 times the length of the box body 1. If the ground at the location where the observation equipment is set up is uneven, the four leveling legs 6 can be adjusted to extend to different lengths, and the two tube bubbles 34 perpendicular to each other on the side of the gimbal 3 can be used to determine whether the gimbal 3 has been adjusted to a horizontal state.

[0056] Ground observation equipment is typically mounted at a height of 1.6m-2m, primarily to ensure the observation angle is not obstructed by low-lying objects and to facilitate operator adjustments. Professional-grade portable observation and photography equipment (i.e., the aforementioned optical observation equipment) is typically 0.3-0.6m long, depending on the lens focal length, with a corresponding packaging box length of 0.5-0.8m. If the box lid 2 and box body 1 are longitudinally joined, the length can reach 1.0-1.6m. Thus, when the lengths of box body 1 and box lid 2 are equal and both are in the supported state, combined with the extended length of the retractable leveling legs and the height of the gimbal, the total length of the support base can be ≥1.6m, thus accommodating both the packaging box size and the support height requirements.

[0057] In another preferred embodiment, if the equipment and packaging box are heavy as a whole, wheels can be installed at the bottom of the box 1 to facilitate pushing.

[0058] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
