Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention for which protection is sought, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0025] In non-planar scenes such as rugged mountains, swamps, wetlands, or building ruins, the traditional tripod support system of the existing total station is difficult to establish a stable reference surface, and it takes a long time to level it. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this case proposes the following technical solutions: See also Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a technical solution for an intelligent total station based on a GNSS and IMU heterogeneous sensor array: its structure includes: a body 5, a control panel 2 is installed on the surface of the body 5, a movable eyepiece 3 is provided in the middle of the body 5, a handle 4 is installed on the top of the body 5, a support frame 1 includes a connecting block 11 and a first leg 12, the connecting block 11 is fixed to the top of the first leg 12 and connected to the bottom of the body 5, a telescopic second leg 13 is provided at the bottom of the first leg 12, the connecting block 11 includes a base 103 fixed to the top of the first leg 12, and the base 103 is nested with a buffer 10 2 and the limiter 101, the buffer 102 controls the tilt angle of the limiter 101, the surface of the support block 131 of the base 103 is provided with an arc structure connected to the clamping ring 118 at the bottom of the limiter 101, the structure of the limiter 101 includes a first ring block 111, the middle part of the first ring block 111 is provided with an electromagnetic block 112, the bottom of the electromagnetic block 112 is connected to the clamping ring 118, the surface of the first ring block 111 is provided with an array of slide grooves 113, the slide grooves 113 are provided with a sliding guide block 114 inside, and the guide block 114 is connected to the rotating ring 132 of the base 103 through the clamping block 116 at the front end.

[0026] The main structure of the device includes a support frame 1 for supporting and fixing, a body 5 is set on the top of the support frame 1, a control panel 2 and a movable eyepiece 3 are set on the surface of the body 5, and a handle 4 that can be held is set on the top of the body 5.

[0027] The structure of the support frame 1 includes a connecting block 11, which is connected to the body 5. A first leg rod 12 and a second leg rod 13 are set at the bottom of the connecting block 11. The first stage of telescopic adjustment can be performed by connecting the first leg rod 12 and the second leg rod 13.

[0028] The base 103 of the limiter 101 is fixed to the first foot rod 12 , and the limiter 101 is set on the top of the base 103 for locking. The middle buffer 102 is installed in the middle of the limiter 101 and the base 103 for supporting the limiter 101 .

[0029] In order to enable quick adjustment, an electromagnetic block 112 is set in the middle of the first ring block 111 of the limiter 101. The electromagnetic block 112 adopts an electromagnetic structure, and a coil is set inside the electromagnetic block 112. A slide groove 113 is provided on the surface of the first ring block 111, and a guide block 114 is set inside the slide groove 113 for telescopic movement. During the movement, the base 103 can be limited. A reset spring 115 is installed inside the guide block 114. The pressure of the reset spring 115 can separate the clamping block 116 at the front end of the guide block 114 from the support frame 1.

[0030] The limiting rod 321 of the eyepiece 3 is engaged, thereby locking it to prevent movement.

[0031] A buffer sheet 117 is provided between the guide block 114 and the clamping block 116. The buffer sheet 117 allows a slight adjustment range after the clamping block 116 and the guide block 114 are nested, so that the clamping block 116 can fit more tightly during use. A main fitting clamping ring 118 is provided at the bottom of the electromagnetic block 112. The clamping ring 118 forms a magnetic component after the internal coil of the electromagnetic block 112 is energized, and is attracted to the surface of the viewing groove 135 at the top of the support block 131. It can have adjustable resistance and self-locking ability through magnetic attraction. In particular, the clamping ring 118 adopts a concave surface to better attract the surface of the second ball head 134.

[0032] The buffer 102 serves as the base of the limiter 101. The buffer 102 includes a limiting groove 122 on the surface of the second ring block 121 for nesting with the slide groove 113, which is more stable during movement. A limiting ring 123 is provided at the bottom of the limiting groove 122. The limiting ring 123 also fits the ball head structure formed by the second ball head 134 and the first ball head 133, which can increase the resistance during movement and provide better buffering during rotation, that is, the limiting ring 123 can first contact the support block 131 when flipping to provide protection when the electromagnetic block 112 is powered off in an emergency.

[0033] After coarse adjustment, fine adjustment is required, so a swivel 132 is provided on the surface of the support block 131 for support. The structure of the swivel 132 includes a limit column 324 fixed in the slot hole of the support block 131. The top of the limit column 324 is provided with a thread, which engages with the handwheel 323 through the thread. A limit rod 321 is installed on the top of the handwheel 323, and a slot 322 is provided on the surface of the limit rod 321. The slot 322 fits with the protrusion of the clamping block 116 to improve the stability of the limit and prevent the limit rod 321 from rotating. Under the limitation of the locking ring 325, the handwheel 323 and the limit column 324 can be rotated and lifted, so that the thread can be fine-tuned, which is more convenient when used.

[0034] About the intelligent adjustment method of this device: s1: When in use, unfold the first leg 12 and the second leg 13 and place them on the ground; s2: The electromagnetic block 112 installed in the middle of the connecting block 11 is connected to the body 5. When it is set to the calibration mode, the electromagnetic block 112 is energized, and the clamping ring 118 at the bottom of the electromagnetic block 112 and the metal of the ring of the electromagnetic block 112 generate magnetic force, which respectively attracts the second ball head 134 and the arc surface of the guide block 114. When the second ball head 134 is attracted, electronic limiting is performed, and at the same time, the pressure between the limiting rod 321 is released, so that the second ring block 121 and the support block 131 are in an active state and can move quickly.

[0035] s3. After manual adjustment is completed, click control panel 2 to enter fine adjustment mode. When in fine adjustment mode, the electromagnetic block 112 loses power and the conductive block 114 is reset under the action of the reset spring 115, and the clamping block 116 is pressed. At this time, the hand wheel 323 can be rotated to perform fine adjustment, which increases the leveling speed.

[0036] The above only describes the basic principles and preferred embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make many changes and improvements based on the above description, and these changes and improvements should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
