Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of surveying instruments. More specifically, this invention relates to a portable surveying instrument. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, surveying instruments typically consist of two parts: the instrument itself and a tripod support. When conducting field surveying operations, due to complex terrain and rugged mountain roads, workers often need to disassemble the equipment and carry it manually in backpacks. However, most surveying instruments currently on the market are equipped with tripod supports that only provide basic support and cannot offer additional assistance during transportation, making their functionality relatively limited.
[0003] This not only increases the burden of field operations, but also fails to fully utilize the structural potential of the support frame, limiting the improvement of overall operational efficiency and portability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the limited functionality of the foot support frame of existing surveying instruments, the present invention provides a portable surveying instrument.
[0005] Technical solution: A portable surveying instrument includes a connecting block 1 and a surveyor mounted on the connecting block 1; it also includes a connecting block 2, a support plate 1, a support plate 2, a round rod 1, a first fixing component, and a second fixing component; several connecting blocks 2 are rotatably connected to the connecting block 1; a support plate 1 is inserted into each connecting block 2; a support plate 2 is rotatably connected to each support plate 1; a round rod 1 is connected to each support plate 2; a first fixing component is connected to the connecting block 1 for fixing the connecting block 2; a second fixing component is connected to the support plate 1 for fixing the support plate 1 and the support plate 2.
[0006] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the first fixing component includes a pin and a connecting block three; a plurality of pins are slidably connected to the connecting block one; a plurality of fixing holes are opened on each connecting block one, and the pins are inserted into the corresponding fixing holes; a connecting block three is fixedly connected to each pin.
[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the second fixing component includes a connecting block four and a screw one; a connecting block four is fixedly connected to each support plate one, and the connecting block four contacts the corresponding support plate two; a screw one is screwed onto each support plate two, and the screw one is screwed onto the corresponding connecting block four.
[0008] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the pin also includes a spring; each pin is fitted with a spring, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting block one, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting block three.
[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the screw also includes a dial; a dial is fixedly attached to each screw.
[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the assembly also includes an adjustment component, which includes a screw rod II and a round rod II; a screw rod II is screwed onto each support plate II; a round rod II is fixed onto each screw rod II, and the round rod II is rotatably connected to the corresponding round rod I; each round rod I is slidably connected to the corresponding support plate II.
[0011] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a sleeve; a sleeve is fixedly connected to each of the two round rods; a through slot is provided on each of the two support plates, and the sleeve is located inside the corresponding through slot.
[0012] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the assembly also includes a reinforcing component, which includes a fixing plate, a screw rod, and a fixing block; each support plate 1 has a through slot 2; each support plate 2 also has a through slot 2; all support plates 1 and all support plates 2 are connected by a fixing plate that is plugged in and out, and the fixing plate is located inside the through slot 2; a screw rod 3 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate; a fixing block is screwed onto the screw rod 3.
[0013] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the support plate also includes a magnet; a magnet is fixedly attached to each support plate 1; and a magnet is also fixedly attached to each support plate 2.
[0014] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that each dial has several grooves.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: First, the support plate one and support plate two used to support the surveyor can also be used to block the surveyor, connecting block one and its parts and other tools in the backpack, so as to avoid the sharp corners of the surveyor, connecting block one and its parts and other tools directly pressing on the back of the person. It is highly functional and helps to improve the comfort of the person carrying the surveyor. Second, by cooperating with screw two and round rod two, round rod one is moved to the inside of support plate two, avoiding the safety hazard caused by the sharp corner of round rod one being too close to the back of the operator, which is conducive to improving safety performance. At the same time, screw two and round rod two, which are used to prevent round rod one from causing safety hazards, are also used to fine adjust the tilt angle of connecting block one, so that the measuring instrument is in a horizontal state for measurement operation. There is no need to readjust the angle of support plate one and support plate two to keep connecting block one balanced, which is conducive to improving convenience. Third, by using the fixed plate, fixed block and screw to fix the three sets of support plate one and support plate two together, the problem of offset between adjacent sets of support plate one and support plate two is avoided, which helps to ensure the blocking effect of support plate one and support plate two. Fourth, by fixing support plate one and support plate two together with magnets, it is not necessary to keep support plate one and support plate two in a tight fit in real time when the fixing plate is manually passed through the two through slots two, which helps to reduce the difficulty of operation.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] Although the invention may be described with respect to specific applications or industries, those skilled in the art will recognize its broader applicability. Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "above," "below," "upward," "downward," etc., are used to describe the drawings and not to indicate a limitation on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
[0019] Example 1: A portable surveying instrument, such as... Figures 1-7As shown, it includes a connecting block 1 and a surveyor 2; the surveyor 2 is connected to the connecting block 1; it also includes a connecting block 2 3, a support plate 1 4, a support plate 2 5, a round rod 1 6, a first fixing component, and a second fixing component; three connecting blocks 2 3 are rotatably connected to the connecting block 1; a support plate 1 4 is inserted into each connecting block 2 3; a support plate 2 5 is rotatably connected to each support plate 1 4; a round rod 1 6 is connected to each support plate 2 5; the first fixing component is connected to the connecting block 1; and the second fixing component is connected to the support plate 1 4.
[0020] The first fixing component includes a pin 201 and a connecting block 202; three pins 201 are slidably connected to the connecting block 1; each connecting block 1 has six fixing holes 191, and the pins 201 are inserted into the corresponding fixing holes 191; each pin 201 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 202.
[0021] The second fixing component includes a connecting block 203 and a screw 204; a connecting block 203 is fixedly connected to each support plate 4, and the connecting block 203 contacts the corresponding support plate 5; a screw 204 is screwed onto each support plate 5, and the screw 204 is screwed onto the corresponding connecting block 203.
[0022] It also includes a spring 205; a spring 205 is fixed between each connecting block 3 202 and connecting block 1.
[0023] It also includes a dial wheel 206; each screw 204 is fixedly connected to a dial wheel 206, and the screw 204 can be rotated manually by the dial wheel 206, making it more convenient to apply force.
[0024] During surveying, depending on the ruggedness of the ground, the operator manually moves the pin 201 via connecting block 3 202, stretching the spring 205 to pull the pin 201 out of the fixing hole 191. This causes the support plate 1 4 to rotate, which in turn rotates connecting block 2 3 and support plate 2 5, thus adjusting their angles. The operator then stops moving connecting block 3 202, and the spring 205 rebounds, causing connecting block 3 202 to move. Connecting block 3 202 then moves the pin 201, inserting it into the corresponding fixing hole 191. Connecting block 2 3 is then re-fixed. The surveying instrument is then placed on the ground, ensuring it is level, and the surveying operation is performed using the surveying instrument 2.
[0025] When carrying the equipment, the operator removes the surveyor 2 from connecting block 1 and the support plate 4 from connecting block 2. Then, the operator rotates the screw 204 via the dial 206, unscrewing the screw 204 from connecting block 4 203. This rotates the support plates 4 and 5, folding them into wide plates. The three sets of support plates 4 and 5 are then inserted into the back pocket of the backpack. The surveyor 2, connecting block 1 and its parts, and other tools are then placed into the backpack. The backpack is then worn on the operator's back. At this point, the three sets of support plates 4 and 5 are arranged in a flat shape and positioned between the operator's back and the items inside the backpack. When carrying a backpack in mountainous areas, bumps may occur. At this time, the support plate 4 and the support plate 5 work together to block the surveyor 2, the connecting block 1 and its parts and other tools inside the backpack, preventing the sharp corners of the surveyor 2, the connecting block 1 and its parts and other tools from directly pressing on the back of the person, thus improving comfort. When in use, the support plate 4 and the support plate 5, which support the surveyor 2, can also be used to block the surveyor 2, the connecting block 1 and its parts and other tools inside the backpack, preventing the sharp corners of the surveyor 2, the connecting block 1 and its parts and other tools from directly pressing on the back of the person. It is highly functional and improves the comfort of the person carrying this surveying instrument.
[0026] It also includes an adjustment assembly, which includes a screw 207 and a round rod 208; a screw 207 is screwed onto each support plate 25; a round rod 208 is fixed to each screw 207, and the round rod 208 is rotatably connected to the corresponding round rod 6. The round rod 208 is made of alloy material; each round rod 6 is slidably connected to the corresponding support plate 25.
[0027] It also includes a sleeve 209; a sleeve 209 is fixedly connected to each round rod 208, and the round rod 208 can be rotated manually through the sleeve 209, making it more convenient to apply force; a through groove 192 is opened on each support plate 25, and the sleeve 209 is located inside the corresponding through groove 192.
[0028] To improve stability during the surveying process, after placing the surveying instrument on the ground, the circular rod 6 needs to be inserted into the soil. Since the circular rod 6 is located at the end of the support plate 5, after inserting the folded support plate 4 and support plate 5 into the backpack's compartment, the sharp corner of the circular rod 6 is too close to the operator's back, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, an adjustment component is installed on the support plate 5. Before inserting the support plate 4 and support plate 5 into the backpack's compartment, the operator rotates the circular rod 208 via the sleeve 209. The circular rod 208 then rotates the screw 207. The screw 207 moves upward inside the support plate 25, which in turn drives the round rod 208 upward. The round rod 208 then drives the round rod 6 upward, causing the round rod 6 to retract inside the support plate 25. Afterward, the support plate 4 and support plate 25 are inserted into the backpack's interlayer, which improves safety. In use, the screw 207 and round rod 208 work together to move the round rod 6 inside the support plate 25, avoiding the safety hazard caused by the sharp corner of the round rod 6 being too close to the back of the person, thus improving safety performance.
[0029] During the surveying process, after adjusting the tilt angles of support plate 1 (4) and support plate 2 (5), if the connecting block 1 and the surveyor 2 are slightly tilted, the manual operator can move the round rod 6 upwards or downwards via sleeve 209 to fine-tune the tilt angle of the connecting block 1, ensuring the surveyor 2 is in a horizontal position for measurement. This eliminates the need to readjust the angles of support plate 1 (4) and support plate 2 (5) to maintain the balance of the connecting block 1, improving convenience. Similarly, the screw 207 and round rod 208, used to prevent safety hazards from the round rod 6, are also used to fine-tune the tilt angle of the connecting block 1, ensuring the surveyor 2 is in a horizontal position for measurement. This again eliminates the need to readjust the angles of support plate 1 (4) and support plate 2 (5) to maintain the balance of the connecting block 1, further enhancing convenience.
[0030] It also includes a reinforcing assembly, which includes a fixing plate 2010, a screw 2011, and a fixing block 2012; each support plate 4 has a through slot 193; each support plate 5 also has a through slot 193; all support plates 4 and all support plates 5 are connected by a fixing plate 2010, and the fixing plate 2010 is located inside the through slot 193. The fixing plate 2010 is made of alloy material; the screw 2011 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 2010; the fixing block 2012 is screwed onto the screw 2011.
[0031] After the three sets of support plates 1-4 and support plates 2-5 are arranged and inserted into the backpack's interlayer, the backpack's vibrations can cause adjacent sets of support plates 1-4 and support plates 2-5 to shift, thus interfering with the blocking effect. Therefore, a reinforcement component is set up. After arranging the three sets of support plates 1-4 and support plates 2-5, the fixing plate 2010 is manually passed through the through slot 2-193, and then the fixing block 2012 is screwed into the outside of the screw 3-2011. Through the cooperation of the fixing plate 2010, the fixing block 2012, and the screw 3-2011, the three sets of support plates 1-4 and support plates 2-5 are fixed together, avoiding the problem of adjacent sets of support plates 1-4 and support plates 2-5 shifting, which helps to ensure the blocking effect of support plates 1-4 and support plates 2-5.
[0032] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a magnet 2013; a magnet 2013 is fixedly attached to each support plate 4; a magnet 2013 is also fixedly attached to each support plate 5, and the corresponding support plate 4 and support plate 5 are fixed together by the magnets 2013.
[0033] Each dial 206 has several grooves for anti-slip purposes.
[0034] When passing the fixing plate 2010 through the folded support plate 4 and support plate 5, it is necessary to ensure that the two through slots 193 on support plate 4 and support plate 5 are completely aligned so that the fixing plate 2010 can pass smoothly through the two through slots 193. In this process, the operator usually uses the left side to press support plate 4 and support plate 5 together and the right hand to pass the fixing plate 2010 through the two through slots 193, which is difficult to operate. Therefore, magnets 2013 are set on support plate 4 and support plate 5. After the support plate 4 and support plate 5 are folded, the two magnets 2013 on them come into contact and generate magnetic force to pass through the two through slots 193. Support plate 4 and support plate 5 are fixed together, so that the two through slots 193 on support plate 4 and support plate 5 are completely aligned. Then, the fixing plate 2010 is manually passed through the two through slots 193. During this process, the operator does not need to keep support plate 4 and support plate 5 in a tight fit in real time, which helps to reduce the difficulty of operation. In use, support plate 4 and support plate 5 are fixed together by magnet 2013. When the operator passes the fixing plate 2010 through the two through slots 193, the operator does not need to keep support plate 4 and support plate 5 in a tight fit in real time, which helps to reduce the difficulty of operation.
