Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of geological exploration, and in particular, relates to a geological observation and measurement device capable of clamping a mobile phone and a geological observation and measurement method. Background Art
[0002] Rock observation is the most basic geological work in field surveys and core observations. It requires experience accumulation to accurately identify rock characteristics. Only by doing a good job of rock description can we lay a solid foundation for stratigraphic division and regional geological mapping. In the process of rock observation, traditional tools such as magnifying glasses and measuring rulers are often used to assist observation, which can directly observe the details of rock minerals and artificially name them.
[0003] However, in the actual exploration process, although the magnifying glass can magnify the phenomenon to a certain extent, which is convenient for human identification, it is difficult to estimate the particle size of rock particles with the naked eye. For example, the powder crystals, fine crystals and medium crystals of carbonate rocks are difficult to identify with the naked eye. Therefore, accurate identification of the particle size of rock particles is particularly important for rock characteristic analysis. These human or objective factors cause errors and will affect the final rock naming. In addition, it is also necessary to take pictures and record during the geological exploration process. The existing cameras and mobile phone pixels are mostly subject to technical limitations when shooting more microscopic phenomena, and the shooting of microscopic phenomena is not clear and the pixels are not enough. Therefore, this invention is designed to solve these problems, provide higher accuracy for rock identification, and provide convenience for geologists.
[0004] Chinese patent document CN108153985B discloses a geological magnifying glass, which is mainly based on adding fluorescent scales on the lens, which can more clearly measure the size of minerals, and adding an electronic light next to the lens for easy use when the light is poor. This patent does not take into account that the length and width of the mineral observed by the naked eye are affected by the distance between the actual mineral and the lens. The scale marked on the magnifying glass cannot reflect the length of the mineral and has a large error.
[0005] Chinese patent document CN217360449U discloses a multifunctional geological magnifying glass, which mainly adds a foldable hidden hardness pen, a foldable hidden magnet, a foldable hidden ruler, a purple light, a white light, a compass and a fixer to a traditional magnifying glass to provide convenience for geologists.
[0006] Chinese patent document CN218298664U discloses a new geological magnifying glass, which solves the problem that the lighting mechanism of the geological magnifying glass is installed at the rear end of the handle. When the spring buckle is hung on a backpack or neck, the lighting mechanism cannot provide effective lighting for the magnifying glass, and when the lens is worn or broken, it is not convenient to replace it. It is necessary to buy a new magnifying glass and discard the old one, which not only increases the exploration cost, but also causes the problem of waste of resources. This patent mainly solves the problem of light and lens preservation. It is different from the research goal of the present invention.
[0007] Chinese patent document CN217238521U discloses a multifunctional magnifying glass for geological exploration, which integrates the functions of hardness pen, compass and scale, has more complete functions, is easy to carry, and is convenient to use for geological exploration; the magnifying glass can be used with a shooting stand for shooting, and the shooting of rock specimens is more stable and clear. The problems to be solved and the solutions to be solved are different from those of the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0044] The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] It should be noted that the directional terms or qualifiers "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", etc. used in this application are all with reference to the drawings to which they are referred. They are not used to limit the absolute positions of the components involved, but can be changed according to specific circumstances.
[0046] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows the structure of a geological observation and measurement device 100 according to the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the geological observation and measurement device 100 includes a clamp 2, a magnifying lens 6, a distance sensor and an AI image recognition module (not shown in the figure).
[0047] The clamp 2 is used to be clamped on a mobile phone (not shown in the figure). The magnifying lens 6 is detachably arranged on the clamp 2 and corresponds to the position of the lens of the mobile phone. That is to say, after the clamp 2 is clamped on the mobile phone, the central axis of the magnifying lens 6 can coincide with the central axis of the lens of the mobile phone. When the mobile phone takes a picture, the image of the object being photographed is magnified by the magnifying lens 6 and then passes through the lens of the mobile phone. Through this arrangement, the mobile phone can obtain a clear image of the object.
[0048] In this embodiment, two distance sensors are evenly distributed along the circumference of the magnifying lens 6, and the distance sensors can send measurement data to the mobile phone. Figure 2 As shown, the two distance sensors are both laser sensors, which are named as the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 respectively. The first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 are both arranged at the edge of the magnifying lens 6. The distance between the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 is the diameter D of the magnifying lens 6. Figure 3 shown.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 have the same structure, and the first sensor 8 is taken as an example for description. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a sensor mounting groove 85 is provided on the side of the second clamping plate 23, and the first sensor 8 is provided in the sensor mounting groove 85. The first sensor 8 includes a ball 81 and a laser emission port 82. The ball 81 is rotatably provided in the sensor mounting groove 85, and a portion of the ball 81 is exposed outside the second clamping plate 23. The laser emission port 82 is fixedly connected to the ball 81. By rolling the ball 81, the tilt direction of the laser emission port 82 can be adjusted, so that the laser emitted by the first sensor 8 is manually aligned with the edge of the object to be measured.
[0050] In actual operation, the ball 81 is rotated by fingers so that the laser beams emitted by the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 hit the two ends of the object to be measured.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the first sensor 8 further includes a protective cover 83 and a cable 84 . The cable 84 supplies power to the first sensor 8 . The protective cover 83 is connected to the ball 81 , and the protective cover 83 wraps the cable 84 therein, thereby protecting the cable 84 .
[0052] The AI image recognition module can perform AI recognition on pictures taken by mobile phones. The AI image recognition module includes a rock picture library. After the pictures taken by the mobile phone are transmitted to the AI image recognition module, the AI image recognition module compares the pictures taken by the mobile phone with the rock picture library through algorithms and provides users with descriptions for reference.
[0053] According to the present invention, in a specific embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamp 2 includes a U-shaped frame 21 and an adjusting knob 1. The mobile phone is set in the groove of the U-shaped frame, and the adjusting knob 1 is set on the U-shaped frame 21 by threaded connection, so as to adjust the strength of clamping the mobile phone.
[0054] Furthermore, the U-shaped frame 21 includes a connecting frame 25 , a first clamping plate 22 and a second clamping plate 23 . The first clamping plate 22 and the second clamping plate 23 are both arranged on the same side of the connecting frame 25 to form a symmetrical structure, that is, the U-shaped U-shaped frame 21 .
[0055] The magnifying glass 6 and the adjusting knob 1 are respectively arranged on the first clamping plate 22 and the second clamping plate 23, that is, the magnifying glass 6 and the adjusting knob 1 can be respectively arranged on different clamping plates. The central axis of the adjusting knob 1 is perpendicular to the contact surface between the clamp 2 and the mobile phone. When the adjusting knob 1 is rotated, the adjusting knob 1 can move along the direction of the central axis, thereby adjusting the clamping force of the mobile phone.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the central axis of the adjusting knob 1 coincides with the central axis of the magnifying lens 6. Under this setting, after the adjusting knob 1 is tightened, the magnifying lens 6 can be made to fit the lens of the mobile phone as closely as possible, thereby enhancing stability.
[0057] According to the present invention, in a specific embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a lens installation groove 61 for installing the magnifying lens 6 is provided on the second clamping plate 23 of the clamp 2. The lens installation groove 61 is a step groove. After the magnifying lens 6 coaxially enters the lens installation groove 61, the inner side of the magnifying lens 6 (the moving direction of the magnifying lens 6 during the installation process is the outer side, and the moving direction is the inner side) abuts against the second clamping plate 23. A magnetic sheet 7 is provided on the circumferential edge of the magnifying lens 6. The magnetic sheet 7 and the clamp 2 attract each other, thereby fixing the magnifying lens 6 in the lens installation groove 61. Through this arrangement, the magnetic sheet 7 can be quickly disassembled, so that the magnifying lens 6 can be quickly disassembled, and different magnifying lenses 6 can be easily replaced.
[0058] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of lamp beads 10 are evenly arranged on the fixture 2 along the circumference of the magnifying lens 6. Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of lamp beads 10 are evenly arranged on the second clamping plate 23 along the circumferential direction of the magnifying lens 6 .
[0059] A light switch 5 is provided on the fixture 2, and the light switch 5 is located on the connection block 25 and is electrically connected to the lamp bead 10. The switch state of the lamp bead 10 can be controlled by the light switch 5. Furthermore, the lamp bead 10 has two types of white light and yellow light, and the light switch 5 can realize the light switching and light on and off of the lamp bead 10.
[0060] In a specific embodiment, a sensor switch 4 is provided on the fixture 1 , and the sensor switch 4 is electrically connected to the distance sensor. The distance sensor can be turned on and off by the sensor switch 4 .
[0061] According to the present invention, a lithium battery (not shown in the figure) and a Bluetooth module (not shown in the figure) are arranged inside the fixture 2. The lithium battery powers the distance sensor and the lamp bead 10, and a charging port 3 for charging the lithium battery is arranged on the connecting frame 25. In this embodiment, the charging port 3 is set as a Type-C interface. The Bluetooth module is electrically connected to the distance sensor, so that the data measured by the distance sensor can be transmitted to the mobile phone through the Bluetooth module.

Rotate the ball 81 with your finger to make the laser beams of the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 reach the two ends of the object to be measured. Figure 4a As shown, the image of the object to be measured displayed by the mobile phone through the magnifying glass helps the laser beams of the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 to accurately reach the two ends of the object to be measured.
[0064] The distance sensor sends data to the mobile phone via Bluetooth or other existing data transmission methods, and obtains the size data of the object through calculation;
[0065] The AI image recognition module is used to perform AI recognition on pictures taken with a mobile phone. After the photos taken with a mobile phone are imported into the AI image recognition module, AI recognition is performed based on various image libraries, and descriptions for reference are provided to users.
[0066] like Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown, based on the premise that the diameter of rock particles is smaller than the diameter of the magnifying glass, the calculation formula for the object's size data is as follows:
[0067]
[0068]
[0069] Among them, the first projection point 11 and the second projection point 13 represent the boundary points of the rock particles, the center point 12 is the center point of the rock particles, a is the distance from the first sensor 8 to the first projection point 11, b is the distance from the first sensor 8 to the center point 12, c is the distance from the second sensor 9 to the center point 12, d is the distance from the second sensor 9 to the second projection point 13, h is the vertical distance from the magnifying lens 6 to the center point 12, D1 refers to the diameter of the rock particles being measured, and D2 refers to the diameter of the magnifying lens 6 (the distance between the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9).
[0070] The shooting module mainly takes pictures of rock particles by superimposing a magnifying glass on the mobile phone camera.
[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, a geological observation and measurement device system capable of holding a mobile phone is provided, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes an observation device, a measurement module and an AI image recognition module.

The mobile phone program calculates the actual length of the object based on the distance measurement of the laser sensor, and the mobile phone program sends the photos taken by the mobile phone to the AI image recognition module. The objects photographed in this embodiment are rocks in the geological exploration process, so the AI image recognition module performs AI recognition on the photos and the rock image library.
