Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garden construction equipment, and in particular to a measuring device for accurate positioning and line setting in garden construction. Background Art

[0002] In today's landscape construction, precise positioning and line setting are crucial for ensuring construction quality and reproducing the design blueprint. Traditional landscape construction surveying equipment has numerous drawbacks during operation, making it difficult to meet the increasingly high-precision requirements of modern landscape engineering.

[0003] The leveling process for some traditional measuring instruments is cumbersome, requiring operators to rely on experience and repeatedly manually adjust the instrument's foot screws. This is not only time-consuming, but also highly susceptible to human error, making it difficult to ensure the measuring equipment remains precisely level. These errors accumulate in large-scale garden projects, leading to deviations in the layout, dimensions, and design of the landscape, seriously impacting the overall aesthetics and functionality of the garden.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional equipment lacks stability. Construction sites are complex environments, and external factors like vibration and collisions can easily cause measurement equipment to shift position. Once this occurs, re-leveling and recalibration are necessary, which not only reduces construction efficiency but can also introduce new errors due to repeated measurements. Furthermore, traditional measurement equipment lacks effective protective measures, allowing debris to easily enter the equipment, disrupting its normal operation, shortening its lifespan, and increasing maintenance costs.

[0005] With the rapid development of the gardening industry, the market has placed higher demands on the leveling convenience, stability, accuracy, and protective performance of garden construction measurement equipment. Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need to develop garden construction measurement equipment that can achieve automatic leveling and possesses excellent stability and protective properties to address the practical application issues of traditional equipment and meet the diverse needs of modern garden construction. The present invention's measurement equipment for precise positioning and line setting in garden construction has emerged as the times require. Through its unique structural design, it effectively solves a series of problems existing in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the limit assembly includes a sleeve, a limit rod, a limit plate, a stopper, a handle, a circular block and a spring. The outer side of the inner spherical shell is fixedly mounted with a sleeve, the limit rod is slidably mounted on the sleeve, one end of the limit rod extends into the inner spherical shell and is fixedly mounted with a limit plate that abuts the electromagnetic shielding cover, a circular block fixedly connected to the limit rod is slidably mounted in the sleeve, a spring movably sleeved on the outer side of the limit rod is fixedly mounted on the circular block, and one end of the spring away from the inner spherical shell is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve, the end of the limit rod away from the limit plate extends to the side of the sleeve away from the inner spherical shell and is fixedly mounted with a stopper, and a handle is fixedly mounted on the stopper.

Furthermore, the design of the spherical guard plate, ball bearing, and other structures not only prevents debris from entering the inner spherical shell and interfering with the measuring device, but also significantly reduces friction between the eccentric block and the inner wall of the inner spherical shell when it moves under the action of gravity, thereby improving the sensitivity and service life of the measuring device.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-7 , a measuring device for precise positioning and laying out in garden construction, comprising a measuring device body 1, an inner spherical shell 3, an outer spherical shell 2, a magnet 4, an eccentric block 31, a support column 33, an upper support seat 34, a lower support seat 21 and a mounting seat 11, wherein the mounting seat 11 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the measuring device body 1, the inner spherical shell 3 is fixedly mounted in the outer spherical shell 2 and extends to above the outer spherical shell 2, and a circular opening is opened on the inner spherical shell 3, the eccentric block 31 is movably mounted in the inner spherical shell 3, an electromagnetic shielding cover 32 is fixedly mounted on the eccentric block 31, the support column 33 is fixedly mounted on the eccentric block 31, and the top end of the support column 33 passes through the electromagnetic shielding cover 32 and the circular opening and then extends to above the inner spherical shell 3, and the upper support seat 34 is fixedly mounted on the top end of the support column 33, and the measuring device body 1 is detachably mounted on the upper support seat 34 through the mounting seat 11;

[0031] A support ring 43 is provided on the outer movable sleeve of the inner spherical shell 3. Two rotating pins 42 are fixedly installed on the support ring 43 along the diameter direction of the inner spherical shell 3. The ends of the two rotating pins 42 that are away from each other are radially fixedly installed with arc-shaped rods 41. The ends of the two arc-shaped rods 41 that are close to each other are fixedly installed with the same mounting sleeve, and the magnet 4 is fixedly installed in the mounting sleeve. The position of the magnet 4 can be self-adjusted by utilizing the dead weight of the magnet 4 and the earth's gravity, so that the magnet 4 can always be located directly below the inner spherical shell 3.

[0032] The outer side of the inner spherical shell 3 is fixedly installed with a sleeve 5, and a limit rod 51 is slidably installed on the sleeve 5. One end of the limit rod 51 extends into the inner spherical shell 3 and is fixedly installed with a limit plate 52 that abuts the electromagnetic shielding cover 32. A circular block 54 fixedly connected to the limit rod 51 is slidably installed in the sleeve 5, and a spring 55 movably sleeved on the outer side of the limit rod 51 is fixedly installed on the circular block 54, and the end of the spring 55 away from the inner spherical shell 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 5, and the end of the limit rod 51 away from the limit plate 52 extends to the side of the sleeve 5 away from the inner spherical shell 3 and is fixedly installed with a stop block 53, and a handle 531 is fixedly installed on the stop block 53, which is convenient for limiting the position of the eccentric block 31, the electromagnetic shielding cover 32 and the support column 33 after leveling. The lower support seat 21 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer spherical shell 2. In order to provide effective support for the device, a tripod 22 is detachably installed on the lower support seat 21 by bolts.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to prevent debris from entering the inner spherical shell 3 through the circular opening, a spherical shield 331 is fixedly mounted on the support column 33 and is in active contact with the outer side of the inner spherical shell 3 .

[0034] In this embodiment, in order to effectively reduce the friction between the eccentric block 31 and the inner wall of the inner spherical shell 3 when it moves under the action of gravity, thereby improving its sensitivity during leveling operations, and at the same time to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the magnet 4 while satisfying the requirements of reducing the friction between the eccentric block 31 and the inner wall of the inner spherical shell 3, and to achieve the effect of weight reduction compared to traditional steel balls, the bottom side surface of the eccentric block 31 is spherical, and a plurality of balls 301 in contact with the eccentric block 31 are embedded and rolled on the inner wall of the inner spherical shell 3. The material of the balls 301 is ceramic, such as alumina ceramics, silicon nitride ceramics, etc.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to assist the eccentric block 31 in driving the support column 33 to quickly adjust to a vertical state by magnetic attraction, and at the same time to further lower the overall center of gravity position of the eccentric block 31, a counterweight block 311 is embedded and fixedly installed in the eccentric block 31, and the counterweight block 311 is made of magnetic material and is compatible with the magnet 4, and the cross-section of the counterweight block 311 is set in a triangular shape.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the operator to observe whether the mounting base 11 and the measuring device body 1 are in a horizontal state, a plurality of level bubbles 111 are fixedly mounted on the mounting base 11 .

[0037] In order to ensure that stable support can be provided for the measuring device body 1 and a self-leveling effect can be achieved, the horizontal plane where the center of the inner spherical shell 3 is located is used as the reference plane, and the total weight of the components above it, including the measuring device body 1, the support column 33, the upper support seat 34 and the mounting seat 11, should be lower than 70% of the total weight of the eccentric block 31 and the counterweight block 311 below the reference plane.

[0038] Equipment assembly:

[0039] 1. Tripod installation: At the garden construction site, take out the tripod 22, align the top mounting component with the preset bolt hole on the lower support base 21, screw in the matching bolts, and tighten them with a wrench to firmly fix the tripod to the lower support base 21, providing a stable bottom support for the entire measuring device and ensuring that the device will not shake due to unstable support during subsequent use.

[0040] 2. Installation of the measuring device body: Align the mounting base 11 at the bottom of the measuring device body 1 with the mounting surface of the upper support base 34. Install the measuring device body 1 on the upper support base 34 through the pre-designed clip-on or threaded connection structure. Gently shake the measuring device body 1 to check whether the connection is stable.

[0041] Equipment debugging:

[0042] 1. Release the limit: The operator pulls the stopper 53 away from the inner spherical shell 3 through the handle 531. The stopper 53 drives the limit rod 51 to slide in the sleeve 5, so that the limit plate 52 at one end of the limit rod 51 is out of contact with the electromagnetic shielding cover 32, creating conditions for the free movement of the eccentric mass 31.

[0043] 2. Preliminary level judgment: Observe the position of the bubbles in the multiple level bubbles 111 on the mounting base 11 to preliminarily judge whether the measuring device body 1 is in a horizontal state. If the bubbles deviate from the center position, it indicates that the device is tilted and needs to be adjusted with the help of the device's automatic leveling mechanism.

[0044] Automatic leveling process

[0045] 1. Magnet self-adjustment: The magnet 4 is installed in a mounting sleeve supported by a support ring 43, a rotating pin 42, and an arc-shaped rod 41. Due to the combined effects of the earth's gravity and its own weight, the magnet 4 automatically adjusts its position and remains directly below the inner spherical shell 3. During this process, the support ring 43 can flexibly rotate outside the inner spherical shell 3, and the two rotating pins 42 drive the arc-shaped rod 41 to adjust its angle, ensuring that the position of the magnet 4 always meets the requirements.

[0046] 2. Eccentric Mass Response: The counterweight 311 within the eccentric mass 31 is made of a magnetic material and is attracted by the magnet 4. When the measuring device body 1 is not level, the eccentric mass 31 begins to move due to the combined effects of gravity and the magnetic attraction of the magnet 4 to the counterweight 311. Because the bottom side of the eccentric mass 31 is spherical, and multiple ceramic balls 301 are embedded and rollingly mounted on the inner wall of the inner spherical shell 3, when the eccentric mass 31 moves, the balls 301 roll between the two, greatly reducing the friction between the eccentric mass 31 and the inner wall of the inner spherical shell 3. This allows the eccentric mass 31 to respond more sensitively to changes in the device's tilt and drive the support column 33 to move.

[0047] Leveling lock and protection

[0048] 1. Locking the leveling state: After the measuring device body 1 is leveled, the operator releases the handle 531, and the spring 55 begins to work. One end of the spring 55 is fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 5, and the other end is connected to the circular block 54. Under the elastic force of the spring 55, the circular block 54 drives the limit rod 51 to reset, and the limit plate 52 at the end of the limit rod 51 is tightly abutted against the outer side of the electromagnetic shielding cover 32, thereby limiting the position of the eccentric block 31, the electromagnetic shielding cover 32 and the support column 33 to prevent them from moving again due to external interference factors such as vibration and collision, thereby maintaining the horizontal state of the equipment.

[0049] 2. Protective measures take effect: the spherical guard plate 331 fixedly installed on the support column 33 is in active contact with the outer side of the inner spherical shell 3, forming an effective protective barrier to prevent debris at the construction site, such as soil, gravel, etc., from entering the equipment through the circular opening on the inner spherical shell 3, avoiding interference of debris on the internal structure of the equipment and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. The electromagnetic shielding cover 32 can effectively prevent the magnetic field generated by the magnet 4 from interfering with the normal operation of the measuring equipment body 1, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data. In addition, the triangular counterweight block 311 in the eccentric block 31 not only lowers the overall center of gravity of the eccentric block 31 and enhances the stability of the equipment during the leveling process, but also assists the eccentric block 31 to quickly drive the support column 33 to adjust to a vertical state through the magnetic attraction with the magnet 4.
