Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geographic surveying and mapping instruments, and more specifically, to a geographic surveying and mapping instrument capable of swimming and photographing on the water surface. Background Art

[0002] In today's era, geographic information science plays a vital role in many fields. From urban planning and construction to environmental protection and monitoring, from marine resource development to water conservancy project construction, etc., accurate geographic information data are indispensable. As an important part of the earth's ecosystem, the research and resource development of the aquatic geographical environment are of great significance to the sustainable development of mankind. With the continuous development of geographic information science and the growing demand for aquatic geographical environment research and resource development, traditional geographic surveying and mapping methods have gradually revealed some limitations in surface and underwater mapping.

[0003] At present, in surface geographic surveying and mapping, common surveying and mapping equipment can often only take pictures and collect data at a fixed height, making it difficult to achieve effective mapping of underwater areas at different depths, resulting in insufficient comprehensiveness of the surveying and mapping results. Moreover, the existing surveying and mapping equipment has poor mobility on the water surface, making it difficult to quickly reach the designated location for surveying and mapping operations, and the work efficiency is low. In addition, the structural stability of traditional surveying and mapping equipment needs to be improved. Some equipment is prone to jamming or collision problems during operations such as raising and lowering the camera, affecting the normal operation of the equipment and the surveying and mapping accuracy. At the same time, in complex water environments, the equipment has insufficient buoyancy and stability and is easily affected by water currents and wind and waves, causing shaking and reducing the accuracy of surveying and mapping.

[0016] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:

[0017] 1.

The floating air bags fixedly connected on both sides of the surveying instrument floating plate increase the buoyancy and stability of the surveying instrument, making it float more steadily on the water surface, reducing the shaking caused by the influence of water flow or wind and waves, and improving the accuracy of surveying and mapping. The rotational connection between the rotating rod and the fixed box and the fixed shell, as well as the rotational connection between the rotating shaft and the fixed box, ensure the stable rotation of the transmission components and improve the reliability of the lifting mechanism. The fixed box is fixed on the top of the fixed plate, which provides a firm support for the first motor and related transmission components, and further enhances the structural stability of the entire surveying instrument.

[0019] 3.

The dual power system of the swimming mechanism enables the surveying instrument to move flexibly in different water environments and quickly reach the surveying location, thereby improving work efficiency. At the same time, the lower opening design of the surveying instrument's float, the floating airbag and the connection method of each component ensure the structural stability, allowing it to float steadily on the water surface, reduce shaking and improve surveying and mapping accuracy. In addition, the surveying instrument has strong adaptability, can adapt to a variety of water environments, and has a wide range of applicability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a lower opening 17 is provided on the top surface of the surveying instrument float 1, and the opening size of the lower opening 17 is larger than the size of the lifting platform 5.

[0038] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in FIG. 5 , both sides of the surveying instrument float 1 are fixedly connected with floating air bags 18.

[0039] As attached Figure 7 As shown, one end of the rotating rod 14 passes through the fixed box 9 and the fixed shell 8 in sequence and extends to the inside of the fixed shell 8. The rotating rod 14 is rotationally connected to the fixed box 9 and the fixed shell 8. The rotational connection between the rotating rod 14 and the fixed box 9 and the fixed shell 8 ensures that the rotating rod 14 rotates smoothly, making the winding action of the lifting mechanism stable and reliable.

[0041] Working principle of the present invention: The geographic surveying instrument for swimming and photographing on the water surface mainly provides buoyancy through the surveying instrument floating plate 1, so that it can float on the water surface, and uses the lifting mechanism to adjust the height of the surveying camera 6, and realizes the movement of the surveying instrument on the water surface through the swimming mechanism, so as to survey and photograph the water surface and the surrounding geographical environment at different positions;

[0042] When the height of the surveying and mapping camera 6 needs to be adjusted, the first motor 10 in the fixed box 9 on one side of the fixed shell 8 is started, and the output end of the first motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 12 fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 11 rotates accordingly, and the first bevel gear 12 drives the second bevel gear 13 meshing with it to rotate, and the rotating rod 14 fixedly connected to the inside of the second bevel gear 13 also starts to rotate, and the winding shaft 15 on the outer side of the rotating rod 14 rotates synchronously, and the steel rope 16 is retracted and released. The steel rope 16 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 5. The retraction and release of the steel rope 16 drives the lifting platform 5 to slide up and down in the through groove 4 on the top surface of the fixed plate 3, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the surveying and mapping camera 6, realizing dual mapping of the water surface and underwater, and improving comprehensiveness;

[0043] The second motor 20 on one side of the fixed box 19 is started, and the output end of the second motor 20 drives the worm 21 to rotate, and the worm 21 drives the turbine 29 meshing with it to rotate. There are multiple turbines 29, among which the bottoms of some turbines 29 are fixedly connected to the second rotating column 28, and the bottoms of some turbines 29 are fixedly connected to the first rotating column 22. The rotation of the turbine 29 connected to the second rotating column 28 drives the second rotating column 28 to rotate, and the second rotating column 28 drives the propeller 27 connected to it to rotate, thereby generating a forward thrust to push the surveying instrument to move on the water surface. The rotation of the turbine 29 connected to the first rotating column 22 drives the first rotating column 22 to rotate, and the connecting column 23 at the bottom of the first rotating column 22 rotates accordingly. A driving motor 25 is installed on one side of the inner cavity 24 inside the connecting column 23, and the blade 26 connected to the output end of the driving motor 25 rotates, further providing power for the movement of the surveying instrument;

[0044] The lower opening 17 opened on the top surface of the surveying instrument float 1 has an opening size larger than the size of the lifting platform 5, providing space for the up and down movement of the lifting platform 5. The floating air bags 18 fixedly connected on both sides of the surveying instrument float 1 increase the buoyancy and stability of the surveying instrument. One end of the rotating rod 14 passes through the fixed box 9 and the fixed shell 8 in sequence and is rotatably connected with them to ensure the stable rotation of the rotating rod 14. The rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected with the fixed box 9 to ensure that the rotating shaft 11 at the output end of the first motor 10 can smoothly drive the first bevel gear 12 to rotate. The fixed box 9 is fixed on the top of the fixed plate 3 to provide support for the first motor 10 and related transmission components.
