Detailed Implementation

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar units or units having the same or similar functions throughout.

[0025] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that terms such as "installation," "connection," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly, and can refer to direct connection, installation, or fixing, or indirect connection, installation, or fixing. The present invention does not impose any limitations in this regard.

[0026] In this application, all the machinery, parts, and equipment used are common models in the prior art. The power supply can be any common form, either built-in or external power supply. For connection methods, structural details, or control implementations not explicitly described in the specification, they can be understood and implemented by referring to conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art. For example, the installation of the motor can be achieved using mature and conventional methods in the field.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the schematic diagram of an embodiment of the auxiliary observation device of the present invention, it includes a main body 2, a rod 3, a connecting part 9, and a first adjustment part 1. The rod 3 is movably connected to the main body 2, and the connecting part 9 is connected to the rod 3. The first adjustment part 1 includes an adjustment ring rotatably connected to the connecting part 9. Multiple clamps 17 are provided on the side of the adjustment ring away from the connecting part 9 to clamp a first object 20. The first object 20 is a support for supporting the observation equipment. Through the adjustment of the multiple clamps 17, it can also be replaced with a top protective structure when not in operation. The rod 3 is movably connected to the main body 2, so that when the main body 2 is fixed in the area to be observed, the rod 3 can penetrate into the soil layer of the area, improving the stability of the fixation. The adjustment ring is rotatably connected to the connecting part 9, so that when the first object 20 is used to support the observation equipment, the orientation of the first object 20 can be flexibly adjusted by the adjustment ring to adapt to different observation orientation requirements.

[0028] The first adjustment part 1 also includes multiple guide rods 13 and multiple sliders 14. The sliders 14 are evenly distributed on the adjustment ring, and are circumferentially distributed around the axis of the adjustment ring. Each slider 14 is slidably connected to a corresponding guide rod 13, and the guide rod 13 is connected to the connecting part 9. The slider 14 can be a sleeve fitted outside the guide rod 13. Through the combined action of the multiple circumferentially distributed guide rods 13 and sliders 14, the adjustment ring can rotate smoothly on the connecting part 9 and drive the first object 20 to rotate.

[0029] Preferably, the adjusting ring includes a first ring body 10, a second ring body 11, and a plurality of connecting blocks 12 connected between the first ring body 10 and the second ring body 11. The second ring body 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 9. The two ends of the slider 14 are movably connected to the first ring body 10 and the second ring body 11, respectively. For example, the two ends of the slider 14 are connected to the bottom of the first ring body 10 and the top of the second ring body 11 through ball joints or universal joints. The connecting blocks 12 are located between two adjacent guide rods 13. A clamp 17 is provided on the side of the first ring body 10 away from the second ring body 11. The rotation axes of the first ring body 10 and the second ring body 11 coincide. The first ring body 10 and the second ring body 11 are connected by the connecting blocks 12 to form a rigid frame to ensure the structural strength of the adjusting ring. The connecting blocks 12 are located between adjacent guide rods 13 to limit the rotation angle of the adjusting ring and reduce the possibility of excessive rotation. Preferably, the first adjusting part 1 further includes a connecting seat 15, and the second ring body 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 15. The connecting seat 15 is fixed above the connecting part 9, and the connecting seat 15 can be connected to the connecting part 9 using conventional technical means. The connecting seat 15 is annular and its inner circumferential surface is provided with a flange or an annular groove for sliding engagement with the second ring body 11 of the adjusting ring.

[0030] Preferably, the insertion rod 3 is rotatably connected to the main body 2. The insertion rod 3 is both movable and rotatable, which facilitates the insertion rod 3 to be drilled into the soil and achieves drilling-type fixation.

[0031] Preferably, the bottom of the insertion rod 3 has a spiral blade 19. The spiral blade 19 not only facilitates the insertion rod 3 to penetrate into the soil layer, but also increases the contact area with the soil, significantly improving the pull-out resistance of the insertion rod 3 and the stability of the insertion rod 3 fixed in the soil layer.

[0032] The auxiliary observation device also includes a second adjustment unit, which comprises a first drive mechanism 4, a lead screw 5, a moving block 8, and a second drive mechanism. The lead screw 5 is rotatably connected to the main body 2. The first drive mechanism 4 is connected to the main body 2 to control the rotation of the lead screw 5. The moving block 8 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 5 and threadedly engaged with it. The moving block 8 is circumferentially confined within the main body 2. When the lead screw 5 rotates, it drives the moving block 8 to move axially along the lead screw 5. The moving block 8 is connected to a connecting part 9, and the second drive mechanism is connected to the connecting part 9. The output end of the second drive mechanism is connected to the insertion rod 3 to control its rotation. The second adjustment unit can precisely adjust the axial movement of the insertion rod 3. Through the threaded engagement between the lead screw 5 and the moving block 8, and by limiting the rotation of the moving block 8, the first drive mechanism 4 can provide power for the vertical movement of the insertion rod 3, while the second drive mechanism controls its rotation. The two work together to improve adaptability to different soil conditions. Preferably, the first drive mechanism 4 is a first motor, and the second drive mechanism is a second motor. The specific structure of the first motor and the second motor, and how they are respectively installed in the main body 2 and the connecting part, are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this invention.

[0033] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple insertion blocks 18 are provided at the bottom of the main body 2. The multiple insertion blocks 18 form multi-point anchoring at the bottom of the main body 2. After initial insertion into the soil, they can reduce the rotation or displacement of the main body 2 in subsequent operations, and provide a stable foundation for the drilling of the insertion rod 3.

[0034] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for using an auxiliary observation device, comprising the following steps:

[0035] S1. Insert the bottom of the main body 2 into the soil layer of the area to be observed to achieve initial fixation;

[0036] S2. Drive the insertion rod 3 to move relative to the main body 2 and rotate synchronously, so that the insertion rod 3 can drill into the deep soil layer to achieve secondary reinforcement;

[0037] Rotate the adjusting ring to make multiple sliders 14 slide along the corresponding guide rods 13 respectively, and adjust the orientation of the first object 20 fixed by multiple clamps 17;

[0038] S3. Conduct observation operations.

[0039] In a specific embodiment:

[0040] The main body 2 is a hollow cylindrical shell.

[0041] The second adjustment section is located inside the main body 2 and is used to drive the insertion rod 3 to move. The second adjustment section includes a first drive mechanism 4, a lead screw 5, a moving block 8, and a second drive mechanism, as well as a fixed plate 6 and a guide post 7. The first drive mechanism 4 is a first motor for controlling the rotation of the lead screw 5, which is fixedly installed on the top wall of the main body 2. In other embodiments, the first drive mechanism 4 can also be connected to the side wall of the main body 2 through a structure such as a fixing frame, which is not limited in this invention. The output end of the first drive mechanism 4 is connected to the upper end of the lead screw 5, and the lower end of the lead screw 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 6 through a bearing. The fixed plate 6 is horizontally set and fixed to the inner wall of the main body 2, and a through hole for the insertion rod 3 to pass through is opened in the middle of the fixed plate 6. The moving block 8 is sleeved on the lead screw 5, and the inner hole of the moving block 8 has an internal thread that mates with the external thread of the lead screw 5. The guide post 7 is vertically set inside the main body 2. The two ends of the guide post 7 are fixed to the top wall of the main body 2 and the fixed plate 6, respectively. The moving block 8 has a guide hole, so that the moving block 8 slides on the guide post 7.

[0042] The connecting part 9 is fixedly connected to the moving block 8 and can move up and down synchronously with the moving block 8. The connecting part 9 is connected to a second drive mechanism, which is a second motor used to control the rotation of the insertion rod 3. The output end of the second drive mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper end of the insertion rod 3. After passing through the through hole of the fixing plate 6, the insertion rod 3 can extend out of the main body 2 to drill into the soil. The lower end of the insertion rod 3 has a spiral blade 19 on its outer side. When the first drive mechanism 4 is started, the lead screw 5 rotates, which allows the moving block 8, the connecting part 9, and the insertion rod 3 to move up and down; at the same time, the second drive mechanism is started, and the insertion rod 3 can rotate around its own axis, so that the spiral blade 19 at the bottom of the insertion rod 3 drills into the soil.

[0043] The first adjustment part 1 includes multiple guide rods 13, multiple sliders 14 and adjustment ring, and also includes a connecting seat 15.

[0044] The connecting seat 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting part 9. The adjusting ring includes a first ring body 10, a second ring body 11, and a plurality of connecting blocks 12 connecting the two. The second ring body 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 15. Preferably, a sliding fit structure is provided between the second ring body 11 and the connecting seat 15. The sliding fit structure includes a mutually cooperating annular groove and a flange, which is used to realize that the second ring body 11 can rotate concentrically relative to the connecting seat 15 and be axially fixed. For example, in this embodiment, the connecting seat 15 has an annular groove (not shown in the figure), and the second ring body 11 is circular, with a flange (not shown in the figure) on its outer circumferential surface. The flange is slidably embedded in the annular groove of the connecting seat 15, so that the second ring body 11 can rotate concentrically relative to the connecting seat 15 and be axially fixed. In another embodiment, a flange is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the connecting seat 15, and a matching annular groove is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the second ring body 11.

[0045] The first ring body 10 is located above the second ring body 11. Multiple connecting blocks 12 are evenly distributed circumferentially between the first ring body 10 and the second ring body 11. The two ends of each connecting block 12 are fixedly connected to the first ring body 10 and the second ring body 11, respectively. Each connecting block 12 is located between two adjacent guide rods 13, and the connecting block 12 can limit the rotation angle of the adjusting ring. A mounting base 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first ring body 10. Multiple grippers are hinged circumferentially on the mounting base 16. These grippers act as clamps 17 and work together to clamp a first object 20 (the first object 20 can be a support for an observation instrument or a top protective structure for protection when not in operation). The specific structure of the grippers and how they are hinged to the mounting base 16 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In this embodiment, there are three guide rods 13 and three sliders 14. One end of each guide rod 13 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting seat 15 via a pivot, and the other end is a free end. Ball heads are provided at both ends of the sliders, and the two ball heads are respectively movably embedded in the ball seats at the bottom of the corresponding first ring body 10 and the top of the second ring body 11 for movable connection, allowing the adjusting ring to rotate smoothly. Multiple sliders 14 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the axis of the adjusting ring, and the position of each slider 14 corresponds to the corresponding guide rod 13 so that the slider 14 slides onto the guide rod 13. The slider 14 is sleeve-shaped.

[0047] In different embodiments, the locking structure can be flexibly designed to achieve reliable fixation of the adjusting ring after rotation. For example, a threaded hole is provided radially on the connecting seat 15, and a locking screw is provided in the threaded hole. When the adjusting ring rotates to the required angle, the locking screw is tightened so that its end abuts against the outer wall of the second ring body 11, thereby fixing the adjusting ring in the current position. In this embodiment, a damping element (not shown in the figure) is provided between the inner hole of the slider 14 and the guide rod 13. In other embodiments, a damping element can also be provided between the guide rod 13 and the adjusting ring. The damping element is made of elastic material and provides appropriate friction through an interference fit.

[0048] When the first ring 10 rotates under external force, the slider 14, fixed to the first ring 10 and slidably mounted on the guide rod 13, forces the slider 14 to slide along the guide rod 13, while the guide rod 13 swings around the axis of rotation. Under the circumferential constraint of multiple guide rods 13, the first ring 10 always remains concentric with the second ring 11, achieving smooth concentric rotation, thereby driving the mounting base 16 and the gripper to rotate synchronously, adjusting the orientation of the clamped first object 20. The damping ring provides appropriate friction, allowing the slider 14 to slide under external force and remain fixed in position after the external force disappears.

[0049] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0050] S1. Place the main body 2 in the area to be observed, so that the device is erected and initially fixed.

[0051] S2. Start the first drive mechanism 4 and the second drive mechanism (in this embodiment, the first motor and the second motor). The second drive mechanism drives the insertion rod 3 to rotate, and the first drive mechanism 4 drives the lead screw 5 to rotate, so that the moving block 8 drives the insertion rod 3 to move downward and quickly spin into the soil through the spiral blade 19 until the predetermined depth is reached, so as to achieve secondary reinforcement.

[0052] Depending on the situation on site, if it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the first object 20 held by multiple grippers 17, rotate the first ring 10 to allow the multiple sliders 14 to slide horizontally along their respective guide rods 13, so that the first object 20 meets the observation direction requirements. The damping ring keeps the adjusted position stable.

[0053] S3. Conduct observation operations.

[0054] In other embodiments, multiple insertion blocks 18 may be fixed to the bottom of the main body 2. The lower ends of the insertion blocks 18 are tapered for initial insertion into the soil layer. A slider may also be provided on the outer periphery of the movable block 8. The inner wall of the main body 2 is provided with a vertical groove (not shown in the figure) that slides with the slider, so that the movable block 8 is circumferentially confined within the main body 2 and can only move along the axial direction of the lead screw 5, further ensuring the smooth movement of the movable block 8.

[0055] When in use, first insert the insertion block 18 at the bottom of the main body 2 into the selected soil layer of the area to be observed, so that the device is erected and the rotation or displacement of the main body 2 is reduced in subsequent operations.

[0056] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
