Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of surveying and mapping equipment, and particularly relates to an accurate surveying and mapping equipment for highway planning. Background Art

[0002] Before highway design, it is necessary to measure the route on-site through surveying and mapping equipment. For example, a measurement assistance device for highway design disclosed in a Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN216410194U and the authorization announcement date of April 29, 2022, includes: a mounting plate, and three sides of the bottom end of the mounting plate are all movably provided with first support rods through rotating shafts. The bottom end of the first support rod is movably sleeved with a second support rod. A first fixing bolt is fixedly provided at the top end of one side of the second support rod. A surveying instrument is fixedly provided at the top end of the mounting plate through a clamping mechanism. By pulling the three first support rods to three sides and making the mounting block and the telescopic rod in a horizontal state at this time, the distance between the first support rod and the second support rod can be adjusted through the first fixing bolt to adjust the height of the surveying instrument. After the support plate provided at the bottom end of the second support rod contacts the ground, the spirit level on the four sides of the mounting plate can be used to judge whether the device is placed horizontally. At this time, the device can be leveled by adjusting the three first support rods, making the device more convenient to adjust.

[0003] Although the measurement assistance device for highway design can level the surveying instrument, during measurement, the staff still needs to carry the equipment. Due to the complex terrain in the wild, manual carrying is difficult, and manual leveling is also required after carrying it to the designated position, resulting in cumbersome measurement steps and affecting the detection efficiency.

[0022] Advantages of the present invention:

[0023] 1. The present invention realizes the remote and automated surveying and mapping operations by carrying a surveying and mapping device on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Surveying personnel do not need to carry heavy surveying equipment to complex terrains in person, significantly reducing labor consumption and operation risks.

Detailed implementation manners

[0038] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific purposes and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0039] See Figures 1 to 10As shown in the figure, an accurate surveying and mapping device for highway planning includes a surveying and mapping device installed below the drone 1. The surveying and mapping device includes a fixed connection mechanism 2, a centering adjustment mechanism 3, a buffer support device 4, a shielding mechanism 5, a rotary adjustment platform 6, a surveying instrument 7, and a remote controller.

[0040] Among them, the fixed connection mechanism 2 is detachably installed on the bottom bracket of the drone 1;

[0041] The centering adjustment mechanism 3 is installed above the fixed connection mechanism 2 and serves as the installation base for the surveying instrument 7;

[0042] The buffer support device 4 is installed directly below the fixed connection mechanism 2 and serves as the support structure for the entire surveying and mapping equipment;

[0043] The shielding mechanism 5 is arranged on the windward side of the surveying instrument 7. The shielding mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed connection mechanism 2, and the control end of the shielding mechanism 5 is connected to the buffer support device 4, which is used to block and protect the detection end of the surveying instrument 7;

[0044] The rotary adjustment platform 6 is installed between the buffer support device 4 and the fixed connection mechanism 2. The bottom of the rotary adjustment platform 6 is connected to the buffer support device 4, and the adjustment end of the buffer support device 4 is connected to the fixed connection mechanism 2, which is used to adjust the detection angle of the surveying instrument 7;

[0045] The surveying instrument 7 is installed at the adjustment end of the centering adjustment mechanism 3 and is used for surveying and mapping operations;

[0046] The remote controller is used for remote communication connection with the surveying instrument 7, the rotary adjustment platform 6, and the buffer support device 4.

[0047] The surveying and mapping equipment realizes detachable connection with the bottom bracket of the drone 1 through the fixed connection mechanism 2, ensuring that the surveying and mapping device can be stably mounted below the drone 1. The centering adjustment mechanism 3 is installed above the fixed connection mechanism 2, and its main function is to accurately adjust the surveying instrument 7 to the centered position after the surveying instrument 7 is installed, so as to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the surveying. The surveying instrument 7 is fixedly installed at the adjustment end of the centering adjustment mechanism 3 and is responsible for performing specific surveying tasks. The rotary adjustment platform 6 allows the surveying instrument 7 to adjust the angle in the horizontal plane. The shielding mechanism 5 is designed on the windward side of the surveying instrument 7, is fixedly connected to the fixed connection mechanism 2, and is connected to the buffer support device 4 through the control end. During flight, the shielding mechanism 5 can effectively block and protect the detection end of the surveying instrument 7, reducing the influence of external factors such as wind on the surveying accuracy.

[0048] When the surveying device approaches the target surveying point, the surveying personnel send a command through the remote controller to start the buffer support device 4 to switch the working state, so that it has a stable support effect, and at the same time release the shielding protection of the surveying instrument 7 by the shielding mechanism 5. Then, the drone 1 descends so that the bottom of the buffer support device 4 contacts the ground. In this process, the buffer support device 4 effectively reduces the impact force during the fall through its internal shock-absorbing structure, ensuring the smooth landing of the surveying device. Once the buffer support device 4 lands smoothly, the buffer support device 4 will adjust the level of the surveying device to ensure that the surveying instrument 7 remains in a horizontal state.

[0049] After the leveling of the surveying instrument 7 is completed, the surveying personnel operate the rotating adjustment table 6 through the remote controller to adjust the detection angle of the surveying instrument 7 according to actual needs. The entire surveying process does not require manual handling and manual adjustment, realizing unmanned surveying, thereby effectively saving manpower and improving surveying efficiency.

[0050] By repeating the above surveying and mapping steps, multiple surveying and mapping points can be quickly and accurately surveyed and detected.

[0051] The rotary adjustment platform 6 is used to adjust the detection angle of the surveying and mapping instrument 7. The structure of the rotary adjustment platform 6 adopts the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fixed connection mechanism 2 includes a limit adjustment slide 21, which is provided with two movable ends, and the limit fixed arms 22 are installed on the two movable ends of the limit adjustment slide 21, and the limit fixed arms 22 are connected to the drone 1. The limit adjustment slide 21 is provided with double movable ends, and each movable end is equipped with a limit fixed arm 22. When performing the connection operation with the bottom bracket of the drone 1, the surveying and mapping personnel first accurately adjust the positions of the two limit fixed arms 22 through the limit adjustment slide 21 according to the actual width of the bottom bracket of the drone 1. The displacement adjustment of the two limit fixed arms 22 in the horizontal direction is realized to ensure that the limit fixed arms 22 can be accurately moved to the predetermined installation position. Then, the limit fixed arms 22 are used to achieve a stable connection with the bottom bracket of the drone 1. This structural form ensures that the fixed connection mechanism 2 can adapt to the bottom brackets of drones 1 of different sizes, and at the same time ensures that the surveying and mapping device can be stably and reliably mounted under the drone 1, providing a solid foundation for subsequent surveying and mapping operations.

[0053] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the limit adjustment slide 21 includes a first limit slide rail 211 installed, a bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 is installed inside the first limit slide rail 211, two first sliding adjustment blocks 217 are also provided inside the first limit slide rail 211, the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 is threadedly connected to the first sliding adjustment block 217, and a first rotation limit mechanism 213 is also installed between the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 and the first limit slide rail 211.

[0054] The first limit slide rail 211 provides stable support and guidance for the first sliding adjustment block 217, ensuring that the sliding adjustment process of the first sliding adjustment block 217 is carried out on a predetermined track. When the surveying and mapping personnel rotate the two-way adjustment screw rod 212, the two first sliding adjustment blocks 217 move toward or away from each other along the two-way adjustment screw rod 212. The first sliding adjustment block 217 is connected to the limit fixed arm 22. Therefore, when the first sliding adjustment block 217 moves along the first limit slide rail 211 driven by the two-way adjustment screw rod 212, the limit fixed arm 22 will also move synchronously. The movement and adjustment of the first sliding adjustment block 217 can accurately control the position of the limit fixed arm 22 in the horizontal direction, thereby achieving adaptation to the bottom brackets of drones 1 of different sizes.

[0055] In order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the adjustment process, the first rotation limiting mechanism 213 is installed between the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 and the first limiting slide rail 211. The main function of the first rotation limiting mechanism 213 is to limit the self-rotation of the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 during the adjustment process to prevent the adjustment position from being offset due to the self-rotation of the screw rod. In this way, when the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 is rotated to the specified position and stops, the first rotation limiting mechanism 213 can ensure that the screw rod maintains the current position unchanged, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the adjustment result.

[0056] See also Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first rotation limiting mechanism 213 includes a fixed limiting ring 214 installed on the side of the first limiting slide rail 211, and a first anti-slip surface is provided on one side of the fixed limiting ring 214. The first rotation limiting mechanism 213 also includes an elastic extrusion piece 215 installed on the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212, and a movable pressing ring 216 is installed on the elastic extrusion piece 215. The side of the movable pressing ring 216 is provided with a second anti-slip surface, and the second anti-slip surface and the first anti-slip surface are mutually fitted and abutted. The fixed limiting ring 214 is firmly installed on the side of the first limiting slide rail 211, and a first anti-slip surface is designed on one side of the fixed limiting ring 214 to provide sufficient friction. The elastic extrusion piece 215 is installed on the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 and is connected to the movable pressing ring 216. The side of the movable pressing ring 216 is provided with a second anti-slip surface, and the second anti-slip surface matches the first anti-slip surface of the fixed limiting ring 214 in structure.

[0057] During the process of the surveying and mapping personnel operating and rotating the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212, when the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 rotates, it drives the elastic pressing member 215 and the movable pressing ring 216 to rotate synchronously. As the movable pressing ring 216 rotates, its second anti-slip surface will come into frictional contact with the first anti-slip surface of the fixed limiting ring 214. Due to the action of the elastic pressing member 215, the movable pressing ring 216 is continuously pushed towards the fixed limiting ring 214, ensuring a tight fit between the pressing ring 216 and the fixed limiting ring 214, thereby generating sufficient frictional force. When the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 rotates to the required position and stops rotating, the first rotation limiting mechanism 213 can effectively prevent the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212 from self-rotating through the frictional force between the second anti-slip surface and the first anti-slip surface. Therefore, the first rotation limiting mechanism 213 not only ensures the stability of the adjustment process but also guarantees the reliability of the adjustment result, preventing the adjustment position from shifting due to the self-rotation of the bidirectional adjustment screw rod 212.

[0058] See Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a rotating adjustment rail 221 is rotatably installed on the limit fixing arm 22. A plurality of sliding clamping members 222 are slidably installed on the rotating adjustment rail 221. A locking cover plate 2222 is installed on the side of the sliding clamping member 222. The top of the sliding clamping member 222 is slidably connected to the movable clamping plate 2221, and a spring is connected between the bottom of the movable clamping plate 2221 and the sliding clamping member 222.

[0059] After the limit fixing arm 22 is precisely adjusted to the predetermined position through the limit adjustment slide 21, the rotating adjustment rail 221 on the limit fixing arm 22 starts to play its function. The rotating adjustment rail 221 allows the surveying and mapping personnel to finely adjust the angle of the sliding clamping members 222 according to the specific shape and installation requirements of the bottom bracket of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1. This adjustment ability ensures that the sliding clamping members 222 can accurately align with the fixed points of the bottom bracket of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1. The sliding clamping members 222 can be slidably adjusted under the guidance of the rotating adjustment rail 221 to adapt to the installation requirements of different positions and angles.

[0060] The surveying and mapping personnel manually operate to adjust the sliding clamping member 222 to the designated position on the bottom bracket of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1. After the sliding clamping member 222 moves to the designated position, the surveying and mapping personnel use bolts to fixedly connect the upper end of the locking cover plate 2222 to the sliding clamping member 222, and the lower end of the locking cover plate 2222 is clamped to the rotating adjustment rail 221 to ensure that the position of the sliding clamping member 222 on the rotating adjustment rail 221 is locked, preventing displacement caused by vibration or external force. The movable clamping plate 2221 cooperates with the sliding clamping member 222 to clamp and fix the bottom bracket of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1. It provides a stable connection and also ensures that the surveying device can be safely and reliably mounted under the unmanned aerial vehicle 1, laying a solid foundation for subsequent surveying operations.

[0061] SeeFigure 3 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 8 , the centering adjustment mechanism 3 includes a second limit slide rail 31 installed on the fixed connection mechanism 2. A second sliding adjustment block 32 is installed inside the second limit slide rail 31. A centering mark for indicating the centered position is provided on the side of the second limit slide rail 31. A moving adjustment screw rod 33 is also installed on the second limit slide rail 31. The moving adjustment screw rod 33 is threadedly connected to the second sliding adjustment block 32. A second rotation limit mechanism 34 is further provided between the moving adjustment screw rod 33 and the second limit slide rail 31. The second sliding adjustment block 32 is provided with a protective mounting seat 35.

[0062] The centering adjustment mechanism 3 is first fixedly installed on the fixed connection mechanism 2 through the second limit slide rail 31. The second limit slide rail 31 is internally provided with a second sliding adjustment block 32, and the second sliding adjustment block 32 can linearly move along the second limit slide rail 31. A centering mark is provided on one side of the second limit slide rail 31 to indicate the central position. In addition, the second limit slide rail 31 is also equipped with a moving adjustment screw rod 33. The moving adjustment screw rod 33 is threadedly connected to the second sliding adjustment block 32. Rotating the moving adjustment screw rod 33 can drive the second sliding adjustment block 32 to move within the second limit slide rail 31. To ensure that the moving adjustment screw rod 33 does not rotate during operation, a second rotation limit mechanism 34 is installed between the second limit slide rail 31 and the moving adjustment screw rod 33. The second rotation limit mechanism 34 has the same structure as the first rotation limit mechanism 213 and has the same limiting function.

[0063] A protective mounting seat 35 is provided on the second sliding adjustment block 32, and the protective mounting seat 35 is used for fixedly installing the surveying instrument 7. After the surveying instrument 7 is installed, the surveyor rotates the moving adjustment screw rod 33 to precisely control the position of the second sliding adjustment block 32 in the second limit slide rail 31. When the second sliding adjustment block 32 moves, it drives the protective mounting seat 35 and the surveying instrument 7 to move synchronously.

[0064] By observing the centering mark on the side of the second limit slide rail 31, the surveyor can determine whether the surveying instrument 7 has been precisely adjusted to the centered position. It is ensured that regardless of the type of the surveying instrument 7, its detection end can be accurately positioned at the middle position of the centering adjustment mechanism 3, thereby meeting the requirements for accuracy and consistency in surveying operations.

[0065] See Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, the protection mounting base 35 includes an airbag protection member 351 mounted on the second sliding adjustment block 32. Above the airbag protection member 351, a fixed mounting bracket 352 is installed, and the fixed mounting bracket 352 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes. The airbag protection member 351 is internally equipped with a protection airbag. In the normal operation state, the protection airbag is in an uninflated state, which does not affect the normal operation and surveying accuracy of the surveying instrument 7. When the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 fails (such as out-of-control falling or sudden jolting, etc.), the remote controller controls the protection airbag to quickly inflate automatically, forming a protection barrier that tightly wraps and buffers the surveying instrument 7, effectively reducing the damage caused by external impacts to the surveying instrument 7 and ensuring the safety and integrity of the surveying equipment.

[0066] The fixed mounting bracket 352 is located above the airbag protection member 351. Its structural design is firm and stable, and it is used to carry and fix the surveying instrument 7. The fixed mounting bracket 352 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes. The layout and size of the mounting holes are optimized to adapt to and install various types of surveying instruments 7. Surveying personnel can select appropriate mounting holes according to actual needs and firmly install the surveying instrument 7 on the fixed mounting bracket 352 through bolts or other fastening devices to ensure the stability and accuracy of the surveying instrument 7 during the surveying process.

[0067] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, the buffer support device 4 includes a fixed connection seat 41 installed at the bottom of the rotary adjustment table 6. A plurality of buffer telescopic rods 42 are rotatably installed on the fixed connection seat 41. The buffer telescopic rods 42 are evenly distributed around the axis of the fixed connection seat 41. A linear driver 43 is installed at the axial position of the fixed connection seat 41. The output end of the linear driver 43 is installed with a synchronous connection block 44. Connecting rods 45 are installed between the synchronous connection block 44 and the plurality of buffer telescopic rods 42. One end of the connecting rod 45 is rotatably connected to the synchronous connection block 44, and the end of the connecting rod 45 away from the buffer telescopic rod 42 is rotatably connected to the buffer telescopic rod 42. The buffer support device 4 further includes a horizontal detector 46 installed on the fixed connection mechanism 2.

[0068] When the drone 1 transports the surveying device to the top of the surveying area, the linear drive 43 starts and drives the synchronous connection block 44 to perform a downward movement. When the synchronous connection block 44 moves, it pushes the multiple connecting rods 45 to expand synchronously, thereby driving the buffer telescopic rod 42 to expand synchronously to form a stable support structure. Subsequently, the drone 1 begins to descend, and the buffer telescopic rod 42 first contacts the ground, and the buffering function of the buffer telescopic rod 42 is used to effectively slow down the impact force during the falling process. After the buffer telescopic rod 42 lands stably, the horizontal detector 46 accurately detects the horizontal state of the fixed connection mechanism 2. Based on the feedback of the horizontal detector 46, the remote surveying personnel adjust the telescopic length of each buffer telescopic rod 42 through the remote controller to achieve fine-tuning of the horizontal state of the fixed connection mechanism 2. It ensures that the surveying instrument 7 always remains horizontal, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the surveying data. At the same time, by adjusting the telescopic length of the buffer telescopic rod 42, the surveying height of the surveying instrument 7 from the ground can also be accurately controlled to meet different surveying needs.

[0069] See also Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, one end of the buffer telescopic rod 42 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 41, a telescopic slide rail 421 is provided inside the buffer telescopic rod 42, a telescopic adjustment rod 422 is installed inside the telescopic slide rail 421, the telescopic adjustment rod 422 is slidably connected to the telescopic slide rail 421, a driving adjustment screw 424 is also installed inside the telescopic slide rail 421, the driving adjustment screw 424 is threadedly connected to the telescopic adjustment rod 422, a rotating driver 423 is also installed on the buffer telescopic rod 42, the output end of the rotating driver 423 is transmission-connected to the driving adjustment screw 424, a buffer support sleeve 425 is also installed on the outside of the buffer telescopic rod 42, the buffer support sleeve 425 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the buffer telescopic rod 42, and a buffer spring 426 is also installed between the buffer support sleeve 425 and the buffer telescopic rod 42.

[0070] One end of the buffer telescopic rod 42 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 41 to meet the requirements of its expansion and contraction. A telescopic adjustment rod 422 is installed inside the telescopic slide 421, and a sliding connection is adopted between the telescopic adjustment rod 422 and the telescopic slide 421 to ensure that it can smoothly perform telescopic movement. In addition, a drive adjustment screw 424 is also provided inside the telescopic slide 421, and the drive adjustment screw 424 is threadedly connected to the telescopic adjustment rod 422 to achieve a drive adjustment function. The buffer telescopic rod 42 is also equipped with a rotary driver 423, and the output end of the rotary driver 423 is connected to the drive adjustment screw 424 to achieve a transmission connection, so that the drive adjustment screw 424 can be driven to rotate by the rotary driver 423. The start and control of the rotary driver 423 are completed by a remote controller. A buffer support sleeve 425 is installed on the outside of the buffer telescopic rod 42, and a sliding connection is adopted between the buffer support sleeve 425 and the outer wall of the buffer telescopic rod 42 to adapt to the telescopic action of the buffer telescopic rod 42. At the same time, a buffer spring 426 is installed between the buffer support sleeve 425 and the buffer telescopic rod 42. The buffer spring 426 can effectively absorb and slow down the impact force during the falling process, protecting the surveying and mapping device from damage. When the drone 1 drives the surveying and mapping device to descend close to the ground, the buffer telescopic rod 42 first contacts the ground. At this time, the buffer support sleeve 425 works together with the buffer spring 426 to effectively slow down the impact force when the drone 1 falls.

[0071] If the level of the surveying instrument 7 needs to be adjusted, the remote surveying personnel activates the rotary driver 423 through the remote controller. The rotary driver 423 drives the drive adjustment screw 424 to rotate, thereby driving the telescopic adjustment rod 422 to telescopically move in the telescopic slide rail 421. When the telescopic adjustment rod 422 extends out of the telescopic slide rail 421 and contacts the ground, the placement state of the surveying instrument 7 can be adjusted by pushing until the required level is reached. The precise adjustment of the horizontal state of the surveying instrument 7 is achieved, ensuring the accuracy of the surveying data.

[0072] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the shielding mechanism 5 includes a guiding disk 56 installed outside the rotary adjustment table 6. The shielding mechanism 5 further includes a mounting base 51 installed on the side of the fixed connection mechanism 2. A flipping shielding cover 52 is installed on the mounting base 51. A snap ring 53 is installed between the flipping shielding cover 52 and the mounting base 51. An elastic pulling component 54 is installed inside the flipping shielding cover 52. The elastic pulling component 54 includes a limiting sleeve 541 provided inside the flipping shielding cover 52. A pulling connection block 543 is slidably installed inside the limiting sleeve 541. A return spring 542 is installed between the pulling connection block 543 and the limiting sleeve 541. A connecting pull rope 55 is also installed on the pulling connection block 543. One end of the connecting pull rope 55 away from the pulling connection block 543 passes through the guiding disk 56 and is connected to the synchronous connection block 44.

[0073] The guiding disk 56 is fixedly installed outside the rotary adjustment table 6 to guide the moving path of the connecting pull rope 55. The mounting base 51 is firmly installed on the side of the fixed connection mechanism 2 as the installation foundation of the flipping shielding cover 52. The flipping shielding cover 52 is connected to the mounting base 51 through the snap ring 53. The elastic effect of the snap ring 53 enables the flipping shielding cover 52 to stay in the shielding position when not under force, effectively protecting the surveying instrument 7 from external environmental interference. An elastic pulling component 54 is arranged inside the flipping shielding cover 52. The limiting sleeve 541 is fixed inside the flipping shielding cover 52, and the pulling connection block 543 slides inside the limiting sleeve 541. The return spring 542 is installed between the pulling connection block 543 and the limiting sleeve 541 to provide a restoring force for the movement of the pulling connection block 543. One end of the connecting pull rope 55 is connected to the pulling connection block 543, and the other end passes through the guiding disk 56 and is connected to the synchronous connection block 44 to realize the linkage between the synchronous connection block 44 and the flipping shielding cover 52.

[0074] In the initial stage when the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 transports the surveying device above the surveying area, the flipping shielding cover 52 is in the shielding position, effectively shielding and protecting the surveying instrument 7. When the linear driver 43 is activated and drives the synchronous connection block 44 to move downward, the movement of the synchronous connection block 44 is transmitted to the pulling connection block 543 through the connecting pull rope 55. As the synchronous connection block 44 moves downward, the connecting pull rope 55 is gradually tightened, thereby pulling the pulling connection block 543 to slide inside the limit sleeve 541. The movement of the pulling connection block 543 will squeeze the return spring 542, causing the return spring 542 to be gradually compressed and store elastic potential energy. At the same time, due to the pulling force of the connecting pull rope 55, the flipping shielding cover 52 receives an outward flipping moment, gradually overcoming the elastic resistance of the snap spring 53, and begins to perform a flipping movement. As the flipping shielding cover 52 flips, its shielding and protection of the surveying instrument 7 are gradually released, and the surveying instrument 7 is exposed for subsequent surveying operations. The design of the guiding disc 56 not only provides a path for the limited movement of the connecting pull rope 55, but also effectively avoids the entanglement of the connecting pull rope 55 with the buffer telescopic rod 42 during the movement, ensuring the independent and coordinated movement between the shielding mechanism 5 and the buffer support device 4. The shielding mechanism 5 effectively protects the safety of the surveying instrument 7 during transportation and automatically removes the shielding during surveying operations, ensuring the smooth progress of the surveying work.
