[0030] In order to further understand the content, characteristics and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are listed and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows:

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 , a handheld underwater photogrammetry device, including a base 1, and a holding groove 101 is formed through the lower part of the base 1 for manual hand-held shooting and measurement.

[0032] The base 1 is fixedly connected with a data transmission box 106 through a telescopic mechanism 4. The telescopic mechanism 4 is provided with a first sleeve 102 fixedly connected to the left side of the base 1. A second sleeve 103 is slidably connected inside the first sleeve 102.

One end of the threaded rod 301 is connected to the output end of the driving motor 305, and the driving motor 305 is fixedly installed at the bottom end outside the protective box 107. A runner 303 is installed in the middle of each of the two groups of threaded rods 301, and the two runners 303 are drivingly connected by a belt 304.

[0039] The working principle of the above-mentioned opening and closing mechanism 3 is as follows: The output end of the driving motor 305 drives one group of the threaded rod 301 and one group of the runner 303 to rotate integrally. Driven by the belt 304, the two groups of threaded rods 301 rotate synchronously. Furthermore, the first moving block 302 and the second moving block approach or move away from each other. When approaching, the two side box covers 109 are driven to approach each other, realizing the closing of the opening of the protective box 107; when moving away, the two side box covers 109 are driven to move away from each other, realizing the opening of the opening of the protective box 107.

[0040] The above-mentioned installation and positioning mechanism 2 includes a base plate 201, a first rack 205, a second rack 212 and a third rack 213. The base plate 201 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective box 107. A housing 203 is installed on the top of the base plate 201. A through hole 202 for the belt 304 to pass through is penetrated through the base plate 201. A gear 204 is rotatably connected inside the housing 203. The first rack 205, the second rack 212 and the third rack 213 are all meshed with the gear 204. The bottom end of the first rack 205 is fixedly connected to the first clamping member 210, and the outer sides of the second rack 212 and the third rack 213 are respectively fixedly connected to the second clamping member 215 and the third clamping member 216. Limiting members II 211 are fixedly installed on both sides inside the housing 203. A chute II 214 is penetrated through the second clamping member 215 and the third clamping member 216. The limiting member II 211 is slidably connected to the chute II 214. A through groove 217 for the first clamping member 210, the second clamping member 215 and the third clamping member 216 to pass through is penetrated through the outer side of the housing 203.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 8 , a limiting member I 206 is also fixedly installed at the bottom end inside the housing 203. A telescopic rod 208 is fixedly connected to the limiting member I 206. A chute I 207 is penetrated through the first clamping member 210. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 208 is fixedly connected to the top end inside the chute I 207, and a first spring 209 is sleeved outside the telescopic rod 208.

[0042] The working principle of the above installation mechanism 2 is as follows:

[0043] When installing the display 108, by inserting the bottom of the display 108 inside the first clamping member 210, under the action of the gravity of the display 108, the telescopic rod 208 and the first spring 209 are both in a contracted state. Further, the first rack 205 moves downward, driving the gear 204 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the second rack 212 and the third rack 213 both move in the direction close to the gear 204. Thus, the second clamping member 215 and the third clamping member 216 both move in the direction close to the display 108, realizing the clamping of the display 108; by setting the telescopic rod 208, the stability of the overall movement of the first rack 205 and the first clamping member 210 is improved; by setting the limiting member to cooperate with the chute to guide the rack, the stability of the rack movement is improved. The telescopic rod 208 is a common structure in daily life and will not be elaborated here.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown in, the telescopic mechanism 4 includes a stepper motor 401, a first lead screw 402, a lifting member 406 and a telescopic member 409. The stepper motor 401 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first sleeve 102. A connecting plate 403 is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first sleeve 102. One end of the first lead screw 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 401, and the other end of the first lead screw 402 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting plate 403. The lifting member 406 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first lead screw 402.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown in, a first fixed shaft is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first sleeve 102. A first rotating arm 404 and a second rotating arm 405 are hinged to the outer surface of the first fixed shaft. And a second fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fourth sleeve 105. A third rotating arm 407 and a fourth rotating arm 408 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second fixed shaft. Both sides of one end of the telescopic member 409 are respectively rotatably connected to the first rotating arm 404 and the second rotating arm 405, and both sides of the other end of the telescopic member 409 are respectively rotatably connected to the third rotating arm 407 and the fourth rotating arm 408. The lifting member 406 is fixedly connected to the telescopic member 409.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 12 As shown in, guide grooves 410 are provided on both the second sleeve 103 and the third sleeve 104. A limiting rod 411 is provided on the telescopic member 409, and the limiting rod 411 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove 410.

[0047] The working principle of the above telescopic mechanism 4 is as follows:

[0048] The output end of the motor 401 drives the first lead screw 402 to rotate, causing the lifting member 406 to move up and down. When the lifting member 406 moves upward, the telescopic member 409 is in a stretched state, driving the second sleeve 103, the third sleeve 104, and the fourth sleeve 105 to all slide upward. Also, when the lifting member 406 moves downward, the telescopic member 409 is in a retracted state, driving the second sleeve 103, the third sleeve 104, and the fourth sleeve 105 to all slide downward. Therefore, the overall length of the device can be changed, enabling the device to be well-suited for measuring at different underwater depths.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 9 As shown, the above-mentioned clamping mechanism 5 includes a mounting frame 501. The mounting frame 501 is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting member 111. Both sides inside the mounting frame 501 are fixedly connected to a clamping plate 503 through a plurality of groups of second springs 502. Pressing grooves 504 are formed through both sides of the two clamping plates 503 facing each other and close to each other. A pull rod 505 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of one of the clamping plates 503. The wire 113 is clamped and fixed between the two pressing grooves 504.

[0050] The working principle of the above-mentioned clamping mechanism 5 is as follows:

[0051] Connect the connection hole 110 to the wire 113. By pulling the pull rod 505, a plurality of groups of second springs 502 are all in a contracted state. Insert the wire 113 into the interior of the two pressing grooves 504. Release the pull rod 505. Under the action of the second springs 502 restoring their deformation, the clamping plates 503 are reset, achieving clamping of the wire 113.
