Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of leveling point protection technology, and in particular to a leveling point protection device. Background Technology
[0002] A benchmark is a point used for leveling and determining elevation. To meet the needs of engineering construction, surveying departments have established numerous benchmarks throughout the country. Benchmarks are generally divided into two main categories: permanent and temporary. National benchmarks are usually made as permanent points, constructed of stainless steel. However, over time, the effects of water flow and acidic conditions inevitably damage these benchmarks, affecting their accuracy during measurement. The results are related to various aspects of national infrastructure construction, scientific research and development, resource management, and national security. Currently, some power plants and other facilities use steel plates to protect benchmarks within their areas, but the sealing effect is poor, and the protection is not satisfactory.
[0003] During leveling, based on existing benchmarks, the area around the benchmarks is extended using leveling rods and equipment such as leveling instruments or total stations. This often requires multiple people to operate the equipment and hold the leveling rods to determine the location of the benchmarks. However, in slightly adverse environments, such as windy weather, the leveling rods are difficult to keep stable and vertical, which affects the measurement.
[0004] Therefore, there is currently a lack of a protective device for leveling points that has excellent sealing performance and is easy to open during use, as well as an auxiliary device for fixing the leveling rod during leveling.
[0005] In view of the above problems, a leveling point protection device is proposed to solve them. Summary of the Invention

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the leveling point protection device of the present invention, the clamping member includes a pressure block and a pressure block spring.

[0041] Example 1
[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 13 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a leveling point protection device, including a housing assembly 100, including a protective shell 101, a protective shell gasket 102 at its lower end, a cover plate 103 at its upper end, and a cover plate gasket 104 between the protective shell 101 and the cover plate 103; and an opening and closing assembly 200, including a connecting plate 201, a first rotating rod 202, a second rotating rod 203, a spring 204, a locking member 205, a pressing member 206, and a limiting member 207. The connecting plate 201 is disposed at the lower end of the cover plate 103. One end of the first rotating rod 202, the second rotating rod 203, and the spring 204 are connected to the connecting plate 201, and the other end is connected to the protective shell 101. The locking member 205, the pressing member 206, and the limiting member 207 cooperate with each other.
[0043] Furthermore, the upper end of the protective shell 101 is provided with an opening and closing groove 101a, a slot 101b and an observation hole 101c. Two opening and closing grooves 101a and two slots 101b are respectively arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the observation hole 101c is located at the center of the upper end of the protective shell 101.
[0044] Furthermore, the upper end of the protective shell 101 is provided with an opening and closing groove 101a, a locking groove 101b, an observation hole 101c, a clamping groove 101d, and a limiting groove 101e.

[0045] Furthermore, the card 205 mates with the card slot 101b, the clamping member 206 mates with the clamping member slot 101d, and the limiting member 207 mates with the limiting member slot 101e.
[0046] Furthermore, the upper end of the cover plate 103 is provided with a handle 103a, the front end is provided with a locking groove 103b, and the lower end is provided with a lifting block 103c. The locking piece 205 cooperates with the locking groove 103b. The front end of the locking groove 103b is also provided with a spring fixing groove 103d. The lifting block 103c cooperates with the clamping piece 206.
[0047] Furthermore, the side wall of the opening and closing groove 101a is provided with a first positioning post 101a-1, a second positioning post 101a-2 and a spring positioning post 101a-3, and the connecting plate 201 is provided with a first connecting hole 201a, a second connecting hole 201b and a spring connecting post 201c.
[0048] Furthermore, the first rotating rod 202 has a first positioning hole 202a at one end and a first connecting post 202b at the other end. The first positioning hole 202a is rotatably engaged with the first positioning post 101a-1, and the first connecting post 202b is rotatably engaged with the first connecting hole 201a. The second rotating rod 203 has a second positioning hole 203a at one end and a second connecting post 203b at the other end. The second positioning hole 203a is rotatably engaged with the second positioning post 101a-2, and the second connecting post 203b is rotatably engaged with the second connecting hole 201b.
[0049] Furthermore, the upper end of the clip 205 is a push block 205a, the lower end of the push block 205a is connected to a crossbar 205b, the lower ends of the crossbar 205b are connected to clip legs 205c, the lowest end of which is triangular and inclined. The clip legs 205c cooperate with the clip groove 101b. A clip spring 205d is also provided on the rear side of the clip 205, and the clip spring 205d cooperates with the spring fixing groove 103d.
[0050] Furthermore, the clamping member 206 includes a pressure block 206a and a pressure block spring 206b. The upper end of the pressure block spring 206b is connected to the protective shell 101, and the lower end is connected to the pressure block 206a. The upper half of the pressure block 206a has the same shape as the lifting block 103c.
[0051] Furthermore, the limiting member 207 includes a limiting block 207a, a limiting block spring 207b, and a ball 207c. One end of the limiting block spring 207b is connected to the limiting member groove 101e, and the other end is connected to the limiting block 207a. The ball 207c is disposed in the circular grooves on the top and bottom surfaces of the limiting block 207a.
[0052] Furthermore, when the protective device is in the closed state, the locking leg 205c cooperates with the locking groove 101b to firmly connect the cover plate 103 with the protective shell 101. If the cover plate 103 is to be opened, its movement trend R is to rotate counterclockwise around the first connecting hole 201a. In this state, the entire opening and closing assembly has three forces: the thrust F1 of the first rotating rod 202, the thrust F2 of the second rotating rod 203, and the tension F3 of the spring 204. Since the thrust F2 and the tension F3 are in opposite directions, the thrust F1 is zero and the thrust F2 and the tension F3 are equal in magnitude. For the first connecting hole 201a, the thrust F1 does not bring bending moment, the thrust F2 brings clockwise bending moment M2, and the tension F3 brings counterclockwise bending moment M3. Thanks to the large straight-line distance between the thrust F2 and the first connecting hole 201a, the clockwise bending moment M2 is greater than the counterclockwise bending moment M3, which causes the cover plate 103 to remain in the closed state and be able to close tightly.
[0053] It should be noted that in this state, the clamping part 206 cooperates with the locking part 205 and provides a downward force, making the cover plate 103 close more tightly.
[0054] Furthermore, when the protective device is in the open state, if the cover plate 103 is to be closed, its movement tendency R is to rotate clockwise around the first connecting hole 201a. In this state, the entire opening and closing assembly has three forces: the thrust F1 of the first rotating rod 202, the thrust F2 of the second rotating rod 203, and the tension F3 of the spring 204. For the first connecting hole 201a, the thrust F1 does not bring bending moment, the thrust F2 brings counterclockwise bending moment M2, and the tension F3 brings counterclockwise bending moment M3, so that the cover plate 103 is stably kept in the open state and has a certain ability to resist external forces.
[0055] It should be noted that in this state, the limiting member 207 cooperates with the pressing member 206 to restrict the release of its downward elastic force.
[0056] In use, to open the cover 103, push the push block 205a to press the locking spring 205d. Under the action of the crossbar 205b, the locking leg 205c disengages from the clamping member 206. At the same time, an upward pulling force F is applied to the cover 103 by the handle 103a. 拉 The tension simultaneously applies a counterclockwise bending moment M to the first connecting hole 201a. 拉 Under this bending moment, the cover plate 103 can be opened smoothly. During the opening process, the lifting block 103c drives the clamping member 206 to rise, accumulating elastic force for it. At the same time, the limiting member 207 extends below the clamping member 206 to restrict the release of elastic force. To close the cover plate 103, a rightward pushing force F is applied to the cover plate 103 by the handle 103a. 推 The thrust simultaneously applies a clockwise bending moment M to the first connecting hole 201a. 推Under this bending moment, the cover plate 103 can close smoothly. After the locking leg 205c and the locking piece 205 contact the limiting piece 207, a horizontal thrust is applied to it, causing it to retract into the limiting piece groove 101e under the action of the ball 207c, thus contacting the restriction on the clamping piece 206. This allows the clamping piece 206 to provide a downward pressure to the locking piece 205, and the cover plate 103 is tightly closed.
[0057] In summary, the cover plate and the opening and closing assembly work together to achieve sealing and opening of the protective shell. Under the action of the locking mechanism, the cover plate can be tightly closed, and when opened, the internal force of the opening and closing assembly keeps it open and stable without affecting the measurement.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a leveling point protection device. It includes a leveling rod fixing assembly 300, which includes a leveling point 301, a ball bearing 302, and a leveling rod rotating chamber 303. The leveling point 301 is located on the ground directly below the protective shell 101. The ball bearing 302 is disposed on the upper end of the protective shell 101, and the leveling rod rotating chamber 303 is connected to the inner wall of the ball bearing 302.
[0060] Furthermore, the upper end of the rotating chamber 303 is a turntable 303a, the lower end is a shell 303b, and there is a vertically penetrating measuring rod fixing groove 303c at its center.
[0061] When in use, open the cover plate 103, put the leveling rod into the leveling rod fixing slot 303c, and adjust the direction of the leveling rod according to the position of the measuring point through the ball bearing, and then the measurement work can be carried out.
