Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surveying equipment technology, and in particular to a storage device for land contracting surveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Land contract surveying equipment refers to the specialized instruments and tools used in the processes of confirming, registering, and issuing certificates for land contract management rights, land transfer, planning, or dispute mediation to accurately measure and map information such as land boundaries, area, location, and topography. This equipment typically includes a total station (for accurately determining angles and distances), a GPS / RTK receiver (using satellite signals to quickly determine the precise coordinates of ground points), a drone (equipped with a high-definition camera or lidar for large-scale, high-efficiency aerial photography and topographic mapping), a level (for measuring elevation differences), and related software systems (for data processing, mapping, and area calculation). Together, they ensure clear land ownership boundaries and accurate area measurements, providing reliable spatial data support for land contract management, rational resource utilization, and the protection of farmers' rights.

[0003] In the field of land contracting surveying, traditional surveying equipment storage devices generally suffer from a rather crude storage method. Currently, when storing surveying equipment, it is usually simply placed directly inside the device without effective fixing and protection measures. When it is necessary to move the storage device, due to the lack of proper isolation and buffering between the equipment, they are very prone to collisions. Surveying equipment is often a precision instrument with a complex and delicate internal structure. Such collisions can easily cause irreversible damage, affecting not only the normal use of the equipment but also increasing subsequent maintenance costs and causing numerous inconveniences to land contracting surveying work. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a storage device for land contracting surveying equipment. This invention addresses the problem mentioned in the background that when the storage device needs to be moved, the equipment is prone to collisions due to the lack of reasonable isolation and buffering between them. Surveying equipment is often a precision instrument with a complex and delicate internal structure, and such collisions are likely to cause irreversible damage. This not only affects the normal use of the equipment but may also increase subsequent maintenance costs, bringing many inconveniences to land contracting surveying work.

[0005] A storage device for land contracting surveying equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes...

[0006] The housing mechanism includes a storage box for storing relatively precise land contracting surveying equipment;

[0007] A positioning mechanism, comprising an upper cover and a side cover, wherein the side cover is fixedly installed on both sides of the lower surface of the upper cover, and a squeezed sponge is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side cover;

[0008] The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a snap ring and a slider. The slider is slidably mounted on the upper part of the outer surface of the storage box, and a snap groove is formed on the lower surface of the slider. The snap ring is rotatably mounted on both sides of the upper cover.

[0009] The retrieval mechanism includes a retrieval door and a top block. The top block is rotatably mounted on the inside of the storage box via a rotating shaft. The retrieval door is rotatably mounted on one side surface of the storage box. The surface of the rotating shaft and the inner surface of the retrieval door are connected to each other by a connecting rope.

[0010] Preferably, both sides of the storage box are rotatably equipped with rotating handles that facilitate manual lifting of the entire storage device for land contracting surveying equipment.

[0011] Preferably, the inner surface of the storage box is provided with several steps, and each set of steps corresponds to the top cover, compression sponge and side cover of a positioning mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, a groove is formed on the upper part of the outer surface of the storage box, and a sliding rod is fixedly installed inside the groove.

[0013] Preferably, the slider is slidably mounted on the surface of the slide rod, and a first spring structure is installed between the upper surface of the slider and the inner upper surface of the slide groove, the first spring structure being mounted on the surface of the slide rod.

[0014] Preferably, the retaining ring is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the rotating structure via a rotating rod, and the rotating structure is fixedly mounted on both sides of the uppermost cover.

[0015] Preferably, a door handle is fixedly installed on the upper part of the outer surface of the extraction door to facilitate manual opening of the extraction door.

[0016] Preferably, a plurality of rotating grooves are provided on one side surface of the storage box, and the take-out door is rotatably installed inside the rotating grooves via a rotating rod.

[0017] Preferably, a second spring structure is installed on the surface of the rotating rod to achieve automatic door closing and reset after the door is opened.

[0018] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the side cover, the connecting plate is disposed on the lower surface of the extruded sponge, and limiting blocks for limiting the connecting rope are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft, and a return spring is fixedly installed between one side of the top block and the limiting block.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] This invention utilizes a positioning mechanism. After the land contracting surveying equipment is placed in the bottom layer of the storage box, a cover with a compression sponge fixed to its lower surface is placed on top of the equipment. Other surveying equipment is then placed on the top surface of the bottom cover, and the next cover is placed on top of the surveying equipment until the top cover is on top of the storage box. The retaining ring is then rotated outwards, causing the slider to slide upwards and compressing the first spring structure. The retaining ring is then rotated downwards into a groove on the lower surface of the slider, releasing the slider. The restoring force of the first spring structure compresses the slider downwards, locking the retaining ring in place. Furthermore, the four sets of locking mechanisms ensure the top cover is securely locked. The compression sponge on the lower surface of each cover compresses the land contracting surveying equipment below, providing stable, layered fixation and preventing damage during movement. The compression sponge effectively cushions and protects the equipment, ensuring its safety.

[0021] This invention features a retrieval mechanism. When the land contracting surveying equipment in the middle or lower layer needs to be retrieved for use, the retrieval door is opened via the handle. At this time, the second spring structure on the surface of the rotating rod is compressed and deformed. Simultaneously, as the retrieval door is opened, the connecting rope fixed to the inside of the retrieval door is stretched outward. The stretching of the connecting rope drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the top block rotates at the same time. When the retrieval door is fully opened, the longer diameter section of the top block faces upward, pushing the side cover upward. As the side cover is pushed upward, the connecting plate also pushes the middle compression sponge upward, thus providing a larger retrieval space for that layer. The land contracting surveying equipment in that layer can then be directly retrieved for use. When closing the door, the return force of the second spring structure automatically closes the retrieval door. At the same time, the reset spring's reset force causes the rotating shaft to reset and rotate, so that the longer diameter section of the top block faces downward. After losing the squeezing force of the top block, the side cover and squeezing sponge re-squeeze downward onto the surveying equipment, which plays a role in positioning and protecting the surveying equipment. This achieves the purpose of conveniently removing the middle or lower layer equipment, providing sufficient space. After closing, it automatically resets and presses the equipment, which is both convenient and protects the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0032] refer to Figure 1-7 A storage device for land contracting surveying equipment includes the following embodiments:

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] A storage device for land contract surveying equipment includes a housing mechanism 1, which includes a storage box 101 for storing relatively precise land contract surveying equipment; a positioning mechanism 2, which includes an upper cover 202 and side covers 204. The side covers 204 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower surface of the upper cover 202, and a compression sponge 203 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side covers 204; rotating handles 102 are rotatably installed on both sides of the storage box 101 to facilitate manual lifting of the entire storage device for land contract surveying equipment; the inner surface of the storage box 101 has several steps 201, each set of steps 201 corresponding to a set of upper cover 202, compression sponge 203 and side covers 204 of the positioning mechanism 2. Through the positioning mechanism 2, after the land contract surveying equipment is placed in the bottom layer of the storage box 101, the upper cover 202 with the compression sponge 203 fixedly installed on its lower surface is placed on the top surface of the equipment in the bottom layer. Then, other surveying equipment is placed on the upper surface of the bottom cover 202, and the next layer of cover 202 is placed on the surface of the surveying equipment until the top cover 202 is placed on the upper surface of the storage box 101. Then, the retaining ring 303 is rotated outward, and the slider 306 is slid upward. The first spring structure 308 is compressed. At this time, the retaining ring 303 is rotated downward into the groove 307 on the lower surface of the slider 306. The slider 306 is released, and the slider 306 is pressed downward by the restoring force of the first spring structure 308. The retaining ring 303 is locked by the groove 307, and the top cover 202 is locked and fixed by the four sets of buckle mechanisms 3. The compression sponge 203 on the lower surface of each cover 202 compresses the land contracting surveying equipment below, which can stably fix the surveying equipment in layers and avoid collision damage during movement. The compression sponge 203 effectively buffers and protects the equipment, ensuring its safety.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] The latching mechanism 3 includes a retaining ring 303 and a slider 306. The slider 306 is slidably mounted on the upper outer surface of the storage box 101. A groove 307 is provided on the lower surface of the slider 306. The retaining ring 303 is rotatably mounted on both sides of the upper cover 202. A sliding groove 304 is provided on the upper outer surface of the storage box 101. A sliding rod 305 is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove 304. The slider 306 is slidably mounted on the surface of the sliding rod 305. A first spring structure 308 is installed between the upper surface of the slider 306 and the inner upper surface of the sliding groove 304. The first spring structure 308 is installed on the surface of the sliding rod 305. The retaining ring 303 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the rotating structure 301 via a rotating rod 302. The rotating structure 301 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the uppermost cover 202.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] The retrieval mechanism 4 includes a retrieval door 404 and a top block 409. The top block 409 is rotatably mounted inside the storage box 101 via a rotating shaft 407. The retrieval door 404 is rotatably mounted on one side surface of the storage box 101. The surface of the rotating shaft 407 and the inner surface of the retrieval door 404 are connected to each other via a connecting rope 406. A door handle 405 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the outer surface of the retrieval door 404 for easy manual opening. The inner surface of the storage box 101... Several sets of rotating slots 401 are provided. The extraction door 404 is rotatably installed inside the rotating slots 401 via a rotating rod 402. A second spring structure 403 is installed on the surface of the rotating rod 402 to automatically close and reset the extraction door 404 after it is opened. A connecting plate 410 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the side cover 204. The connecting plate 410 is located on the lower surface of the compressed sponge 203. Limiting blocks 408 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 407 to limit the movement of the connecting rope 406. The top block 409... A return spring is fixedly installed between one side and the limiting block 408. When the land contracting surveying equipment in the middle or lower layer needs to be taken out for use through the set extraction mechanism 4, the extraction door 404 is opened by the door handle 405. At this time, the second spring structure 403 on the surface of the rotating rod 402 is squeezed and deformed. At the same time as the extraction door 404 is opened, the connecting rope 406 fixedly connected to the inside of the extraction door 404 is stretched outward. The stretching of the connecting rope 406 drives the rotating shaft 407 to rotate. At the same time, the top block 409 rotates until the extraction door 404 is fully opened. The longer diameter section of the top block 409 faces upward, pushing the side cover 204 upward. At the same time as the side cover 204 is pushed upward, the middle compression sponge 203 is also pushed upward through the connecting plate 410, thereby providing a larger extraction space for this layer. Then the land contracting surveying equipment in this layer can be directly taken out for use. When closing the box door, the extraction door 404 is automatically closed by the return spring force of the second spring structure 403. At the same time, the reset spring's reset force causes the rotating shaft 407 to reset and rotate, so that the longer diameter section of the top block 409 faces downward. After losing the squeezing force of the top block 409, the side cover 204 and the squeezing sponge 203 re-squeeze the surveying equipment downward, which plays a role in positioning and protecting the surveying equipment. This achieves the purpose of conveniently removing the middle or lower layer equipment, providing sufficient space. After closing, it automatically resets and presses the equipment, which is both convenient and protects the equipment.

[0039] In use, the first step is to store the surveying equipment. The operator places the precision surveying equipment to be stored in the bottommost space inside the storage box 101. After placing the bottommost equipment, the operator takes out the top cover 202 from the positioning mechanism 2 and places it, with the lower surface containing the compression sponge 203 facing down, on the top surface of the bottommost equipment. The side covers 204 fixed on both sides of the lower surface of the top cover 202 and the compression sponge 203 on its inner side then press down on the bottommost equipment. Subsequently, other surveying equipment is placed on the top surface of the bottommost top cover 202, and then another set of top covers 202 from the positioning mechanism 2 is placed on top. Its side covers 204 and compression sponge 203 then press down on the newly placed equipment. This process is repeated until all equipment is stored in layers, and the top cover 202 is placed on top. 2. Covering the upper surface of the storage box 101, the box forms an alternating layered structure of equipment and positioning mechanism 2. Each layer of equipment is covered and slightly pressed by the compression sponge 203 and side cover 204 below the top cover 202, achieving initial fixation and cushioning. After all equipment is stored in layers, the entire storage state needs to be finally locked to prevent displacement or collision during movement. The operator needs to handle the top cover 202, which has movable latching components on both sides. The operator first rotates the latches outward to release them from the initial locking state. Then, the operator slides the slider 306 upward along its track. During this process, the slider 306... The first spring structure 308 below 6 is compressed. When the slider 306 rises to a certain position, the operator rotates the buckle downwards, causing it to engage with the slot 307 on the lower surface of the slider 306. Subsequently, the operator releases the slider 306, and the compressed first spring structure 308 begins to release energy, generating a restoring force that pushes the slider 306 downwards rapidly. The downward movement of the slider 306 allows the slot 307 to firmly engage the buckle, thus achieving the locking of the buckle. Typically, similar buckle mechanisms 3 are set at the four corners or corresponding positions of the storage box 101. Through the coordinated limiting effect of these four sets of buckle mechanisms 3, the uppermost cover 202 is firmly locked and fixed to the storage box 101, and the entire layered structure is stabilized accordingly. The compression sponge 203 on the lower surface of the top cover 202 continuously applies a slight compression force to the land contracting surveying equipment below, ensuring that they are firmly fixed in layers. This effectively prevents damage caused by collisions between the equipment when the storage device is moved. If it is necessary to remove the middle or lower layer of land contracting surveying equipment for use, the operation procedure is different. The operator first needs to open the removal door 404, which provides the removal channel. The operator holds the door handle 405 on the upper part of the removal door 404 and then forcefully rotates it outward to open it. Opening the removal door 404 will cause its rotating shaft 407 to start rotating. At this time, the return spring on the surface of the rotating shaft 407 and the second spring structure 403 on the surface of the rotating rod 402 will be compressed and deformed, storing elastic potential energy. At the same time...Opening the door 404 stretches the connecting rope 406 fixedly attached to its inner surface outward. This stretching directly drives the rotating shaft 407 to rotate. As the shaft rotates, the top block 409 fixed to or cooperating with it also rotates. The rotation of the top block 409 causes the longer diameter section to rotate upward, generating an upward force that acts directly on the corresponding side cover 204, lifting it upward. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 410 fixedly connected to the top cover 202 also drives the upper cover 204 to rotate upward. The compression sponge 203 in the middle of the cover 202 pushes upwards together. This series of actions works together to create a sufficiently large, unobstructed operating space below the layer of equipment that needs to be removed. The operator can now easily reach in with their hands or tools to directly remove the required surveying equipment from this layer without moving other equipment above it or the cover 202. After removing the equipment, the operator needs to close the removal door 404 and release the door handle 405. The removal door 404 will automatically rotate inwards and close under the restoring force released by the second spring structure 403 inside. The closing of the removal door 404 will pull the connecting rope 406 in the opposite direction. The slack in step 6 causes the rotating shaft 407, previously stretched and rotated by the connecting rope 406, to rotate in the opposite direction under its own reset mechanism. As the rotating shaft 407 rotates in the opposite direction, the top block 409 also rotates in the opposite direction, its previously upward-facing longer diameter section gradually returning to a horizontal or downward position, no longer exerting an upward force on the side cover 204. Simultaneously, the reset spring, possibly coaxial with or associated with the top block 409, releases its elasticity, pushing the rotating shaft 407 to complete its reset rotation. When the top block 409 no longer exerts an upward force on the side cover 204, the upper cover 202 of this level and the underlying compression sponge 203 layer will be released by gravity and the equipment below. Under slight pressure, the device sinks downwards again. The side covers 204 of the top cover 202 and its compression sponge 203 will again press down on the equipment in the space left after the equipment was removed, or directly press down on the top cover 202 below. In this way, the layer where the equipment was removed is once again covered and slightly pressed down by the top cover 202 and the compression sponge 203 below, restoring the previous fixed and buffered state. This serves to reposition and protect the remaining surveying equipment. After the removal and resetting are completed, if necessary, the operator can operate the locking mechanism 3 again to relock the top cover 202, and the entire storage device will be restored to its complete state, ready for the next movement or storage.
