DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] Example 1 A multi-terrain multi-functional bracket for a total station, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, it includes a tripod 1 and a total station 2; the total station 2 is detachably mounted on the tripod 1; It also includes an annular block 3, a buffer plate 4, a sunshade assembly and a protective assembly; an annular groove 1001 is provided on the tripod 1; an annular block 3 is rotatably connected to the tripod 1, and the outer side of the annular block 3 is made of elastic deformation material; a number of balls 3001 are provided on the annular block 3, and the balls 3001 slide in the annular groove 1001; ten buffer plates 4 are provided on the annular block 3, and all buffer plates 4 are made of elastic deformation material; a counterweight ball is fixed to each buffer plate 4; a sunshade assembly is installed on the total station 2; and a protective assembly is installed on the annular block 3.

[0020] The sunshade assembly includes a connecting ring 101 and a light shield 102; the connecting ring 101 is detachably connected to the upper side of the total station 2; the light shield 102 is slidably connected to the connecting ring 101, and the light shield 102 is telescopically deformable; two connecting parts 10201 are provided on the light shield 102.

[0021] The protective assembly includes an annular track 201, a slider 202, a connecting block 203 and a connecting rope 204; an annular track 201 is provided on the annular block 3; a connecting rod 4001 is provided on each buffer plate 4; each connecting rod 4001 is rotatably connected to the slider 202 through a torsion spring, the slider 202 located at the front is fixedly connected to the annular track 201, and the remaining sliders 202 are slidably connected to the annular track 201; a connecting block 203 is fixedly connected to each connecting rod 4001; connecting ropes 204 are fixedly connected between adjacent connecting blocks 203.

[0022] Each buffer plate 4 is configured to be in an arc shape.

[0023] When two adjacent sliders 202 are fitted together, a gap is left between the corresponding buffer plates 4 .

[0024] It also includes a fixed block 301 and a limit block 302; the fixed block 301 is fixedly connected to the slider 202 located at the rear; two limit grooves 3002 are provided on the annular block 3; the damping sliding connection limit block 302 on the fixed block 301, and the limit block 302 can be inserted into the limit groove 3002 of the annular block 3.

[0025] Each connecting block 203 is located on the side of the connecting rod 4001 facing the total station 2 .

[0026] The connecting ring 101 and the light shield 102 are rotatably connected via a round rod.

[0027] The light shield 102 is made of waterproof material.

[0028] The working process of this embodiment is: During use, if the total station 2 is blown by wind or hit by people, its bracket is very likely to fall over, causing the total station 2 and the bracket to fall to the ground together, causing damage to the total station 2, affecting subsequent measurements, and delaying the operation process.

[0029] To solve the above problem, the operator places the tripod 1 at the measurement site, places the tripod 1 directly above the observation station, holds the head of the tripod 1, slowly unfolds the three legs to the maximum angle, and then adjusts the length of the legs so that the height of the tripod head is lower than the operator's chest and the three legs are distributed in an equilateral triangle. At this time, the center of the tripod head is roughly aligned with the observation station. Then take out the total station 2, align the total station 2 with the center of the tripod 1, and rotate the instrument clockwise until the center screw is completely screwed into the base screw hole to ensure that the instrument is firmly connected to the tripod. Finally, continuously adjust the height of the total station 2 and the three legs until the bubble of the circular level on the tripod is centered, which means that the total station 2 is set up.

[0030] After the instrument is set up, due to the volatile environment and the uncertainty of people's movement, when the total station 2 is blown by strong wind or hit by people, the total station 2 will tilt to either side together with the tripod 1. At the same time, as the tripod 1 tilts, the center of gravity of the tripod 1, total station 2, annular block 3 and buffer plate 4 changes, and its center of gravity will shift toward the tilting side. Therefore, under the action of the counterweight ball, the annular block 3 will drive the buffer plate 4 to rotate toward the tilting side until the buffer plate 4 rotates to the side of the total station 2 facing the ground. At this time, the annular block 3 and buffer plate 4 will touch the ground before the total station 2, and due to the annular block 3 and buffer plate 4 Both the block 3 and the buffer plate 4 are made of elastic deformable material. Therefore, the annular block 3 and the buffer plate 4 provide cushioning when the total station 2 falls to the ground, thereby preventing the total station 2 from being damaged by a hard collision with the ground. At the same time, it should be noted that when the total station 2 is in normal use, the operator can freely rotate the annular block 3 and the buffer plate 4 to prevent them from obstructing the operator's normal observation. Since the annular block 3 and the buffer plate 4 rotate based on the position of the center of gravity, no matter which direction the total station 2 and the tripod 1 fall, the annular block 3 can drive the buffer plate 4 to rotate to the side of the total station 2 facing the ground, thereby protecting the total station 2.

[0031] At the same time, by setting the buffer plates 4 to be curved, when the buffer plates 4 touch the ground and are squeezed, the buffer plates 4 are rotated by the force of the torsion spring and fit more closely with the adjacent buffer plates 4 to achieve stacking. Compared with the buffering of a single buffer plate 4, multiple buffer plates 4 stacked together will greatly improve their buffering effect. At the same time, after the curved buffer plates 4 are squeezed and stacked together, the mud and sand on the ground will be prevented from being collided and passing through the gaps between the buffer plates 4 to impact the total station 2, thereby further improving the protection of the total station 2.

[0032] Taking into account that when the operator is observing, when external sunlight directly shines on the total station 2, in order to prevent the total station 2 from being heated and causing a decrease in measurement accuracy, the connecting part 10201 can be manually pulled to make the light shield 102 expand in an arc shape around the center of the connecting ring 101, thereby shielding the top of the total station 2 to prevent direct sunlight. At the same time, the operator can independently adjust the expansion range of the light shield 102 according to the external environment, thereby improving its ease of use. Furthermore, since the connecting ring 101 and the light shield 102 are rotatably connected by a round rod, the light shield 102 is rotated following the direction of sunlight, so that the light shield 102 can be rotated to the specified shielding range, thereby further improving the ease of use of the device.

[0033] It is also taken into consideration that when the operator takes a lunch break or a meal (usually stops working for 1 to 2 hours) or stops working at night and needs to leave the total station 2, in order to avoid affecting the working efficiency, the total station 2 is usually not stored back into the box, but is left in the open air. In order to improve the protection of the total station 2 and avoid long-term sunlight exposure to the total station 2 or dew condensation on the total station 2 at night, the operator only needs to pull the connecting rod 4001 of the rear buffer plate 4, so that the slider 202 drives the rear buffer plate 4 to slide clockwise along the circular track 201. At the same time, as the rear buffer plate 4 moves As the rear buffer plate 4 continues to slide, the rear connecting rope 204 will drive the slider 202 on the lower side of the second-to-last buffer plate 4 to slide in a circular manner along the annular track 201, and the second-to-last connecting block 203 will gradually move away from the connecting block 203 adjacent to the front one until the connecting rope 204 between them is in a tensioned state. By analogy, the slider 202 will drive the adjacent buffer plates 4 to slide in sequence along the annular track 201. Figure 9 As shown, until all the buffer plates 4 are evenly distributed on the circular track 201, the operator then pulls the connecting part 10201 to expand the light shield 102 in an arc shape until the light shield 102 completely covers the top of the total station 2. At this time, all the buffer plates 4 are evenly distributed on the periphery of the total station 2, thereby forming a shield on the top and sides of the total station 2, thereby preventing the total station 2 from being exposed to the sun during the shutdown period. At the same time, by shielding the top and sides of the total station 2 with the light shield 102 and the buffer plates 4, it will also prevent the wind from carrying mud and sand to the surface of the total station 2, causing wear on the mirror and surface of the total station 2, thereby improving the protection of the total station 2.

[0034] It is also taken into consideration that when the slider 202 at the rear drives the buffer plate 4 to move to the position adjacent to the slider 202 at the front, all the buffer plates 4 and the slider 202 are evenly distributed on the circular track 201, and the limit block 302 is opposite to the limit groove 3002 in the front. At this time, the operator pushes the limit block 302 until the limit block 302 is embedded in the limit groove 3002 in the front, and the slider 202 fixed to the fixed block 301 will not be able to slide on the circular track 201. With the assistance of all the connecting ropes 204 being stretched straight, all the buffer plates 4 cannot move, thereby preventing the buffer plates 4 from being offset on the circular track 201 after being blown by the wind, affecting the shielding effect of the total station 2, and ensuring the stability of the shielding of the buffer plates 4.

[0035] Furthermore, since each connecting block 203 is located on the side of the connecting rod 4001 facing the total station 2, when each connecting rope 204 is in a tensioned state, under the pulling action of the connecting rope 204, all connecting blocks 203 will drive the corresponding connecting rod 4001 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 4001 to rotate counterclockwise around its own axis, that is, driving the buffer plate 4 to rotate counterclockwise around the connecting rod 4001 until the buffer plate 4 is in contact with the adjacent connecting rod 4001, thereby making all buffer plates 4 fit together, thereby improving the shielding effect of the buffer plate 4 on the total station 2. At the same time, since the light shield 102 is made of waterproof material, in the event of sudden rain, the operator can fully unfold the light shield 102 and repeat the above steps to make all buffer plates 4 fit together, thereby shielding the total station 2 to prevent rain from splashing on the total station 2, causing the components on the total station 2 to be corroded by rain.

[0036] When the total station 2 needs to be used again, the operator only needs to pull out the limit block 302 from the limit slot 3002 and push the fixed block 301, so that the fixed block 301 drives the slider 202 to slide counterclockwise along the circular track 201 until all the sliders 202 are attached to each other, and then push the limit block 302 again to make the limit block 302 embedded in the limit slot 3002 at the rear, thereby limiting the slider 202 fixed to the fixed block 301, preventing the buffer plate 4 from sliding on the circular track 201 and affecting the normal use of the operator. Figure 6 As shown, when two adjacent sliders 202 are fitted together, a gap is left between adjacent buffer plates 4, so that wind can pass through the gap between adjacent buffer plates 4, thereby reducing wind resistance between the buffer plates 4 and improving the overall stability of the tripod 1 during use.

[0037] Example 2 On the basis of Example 1, Figures 1-4 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, a slide bar 401 is also included; four slide bars 401 are fixed to the lower side of the annular track 201, and each slide bar 401 is connected to the annular block 3 in a damping sliding manner.

[0038] The working steps of this embodiment are: When the total station 2 is used for a long time, wind and sand will enter the gap between the circular track 201 and the head of the tripod 1, causing sediment accumulation. The sediment accumulation will hinder the movement of the slider 202 on the circular track 201. To solve the above problem, when the sediment in the groove between the circular track 201 and the head of the tripod 1 gradually accumulates, the operator can directly lift the buffer plate 4, the connecting ring 101 and the circular track 201 upwards, so that the slide rod 401 drives the circular track 201 to gradually separate from the circular block 3. As a result, the sediment accumulated in the groove between the circular track 201 and the head of the tripod 1 will no longer be blocked by the circular track 201. At this time, the operator can clean the sediment. After cleaning, move the buffer plate 4, the connecting ring 101 and the circular track 201 downwards to return them to their initial positions.
