Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of construction surveying technology, and in particular to a leveling rod and flashlight combination lighting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] The leveling rod lighting fixture is detachable, easy to operate, and convenient to maintain, making it suitable for low-light conditions such as nighttime and basements or warehouses. Traditional leveling requires manual handheld flashlight illumination, which makes it difficult to align with the rod surface, resulting in low measurement accuracy, poor efficiency, high construction risks, and significant environmental limitations.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN216115980U, which discloses a leveling rod auxiliary device that can improve the accuracy of nighttime leveling measurements. The device includes a fixing mechanism on the leveling rod, a level instrument located on the right side of the fixing mechanism to keep the leveling rod vertical, and an illumination mechanism connected to the fixing mechanism via a connecting mechanism to illuminate the scale on the leveling rod surface. The illumination mechanism can rotate relative to the fixing mechanism via the connecting mechanism to change the illumination angle. The illumination mechanism is located on the scaled side of the leveling rod. This invention's illumination mechanism is rotatably connected to the fixing slot via the connecting mechanism, enabling leveling measurements at night and in dimly lit areas. The position of the device attached to the leveling rod can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the actual situation, and the illumination angle can be adjusted to find the optimal illumination angle. Furthermore, the device is small in size, easy to carry, and has good lighting effects, eliminating the need for cumbersome lighting arrangements and greatly saving construction time.

[0004] Based on the above search and existing technology, the following findings were made:

[0005] Existing clamping structures lack anti-loosening and anti-slip designs, making them prone to loosening and displacement due to vibrations in the field, and making it difficult for light to remain stable parallel to the scale surface. Furthermore, they do not employ a modular, quick-assembly and disassembly structure, resulting in insufficient compatibility and versatility. Installation and calibration are cumbersome under complex working conditions, failing to meet the requirements for efficient, accurate, and stable nighttime leveling measurements, thus exhibiting certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a leveling rod and flashlight combination lighting fixture. Through modular design, it solves the problem of traditional nighttime leveling relying on artificial lighting, significantly improving work efficiency and reliability.

[0007] The technical solution for achieving the objective of this invention is as follows: a leveling rod flashlight combination lighting fixture, comprising a fixture connecting frame and a fixed connecting frame, wherein the fixed connecting frame is disposed on one side of the fixture connecting frame, and further comprising a connecting component:

[0008] The connecting assembly includes a handwheel screw lock between a pair of threaded mounting clamp connecting frames and a fixed connecting frame, and clamping plates are fixedly installed on both the upper and lower sides of the clamp connecting frame.

[0009] Preferably, the clamp connecting frame has a slot inside, and wedge-shaped anti-slip teeth are fixedly installed on both sides of the slot.

[0010] Preferably, each of the clamps is threaded with a handwheel screw lock, and the fixed connecting frame is fixedly installed with a circular screw tube clamp on both the upper and lower sides, and a handwheel screw lock is threaded on the other side of the circular screw tube clamp.

[0011] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixedly installed at one end of the first handwheel screw lock, and a rubber pad is fixedly installed at one end of both the third and second handwheel screw locks.

[0012] The significant advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are:

[0013] Firstly, this invention utilizes a modular, integrated design to efficiently combine the clamping of the leveling rod with the fixing of the flashlight. The adjustable clamping structure, combined with wedge-shaped anti-slip teeth and anti-slip rubber pads, ensures a secure fit for different specifications of aluminum alloy leveling rods and flashlights of various diameters. Installation is convenient, vibration-resistant, and prevents loosening. Disassembly and angle calibration can be completed quickly, ensuring the flashlight beam remains precisely parallel to the leveling rod's reading surface. This completely eliminates the reliance on manual hand-held lighting for traditional nighttime measurements, significantly reducing the workload of surveyors and effectively improving measurement efficiency and on-site adaptability.

[0014] Secondly, this invention avoids reading errors caused by light scattering and oblique illumination through directional lighting design, significantly improving the accuracy and stability of leveling measurements in low-light environments. The entire structure is made of lightweight and durable materials and is waterproof and dustproof, making it suitable for complex construction conditions such as rain, fog, and dust. It is also portable and versatile, and can be used without modifying existing measuring equipment. It can fully meet the measurement needs of various scenarios such as basements and nighttime construction, effectively solving the technical pain points of insufficient accuracy, low efficiency, and limited operation caused by traditional lighting methods.

[0024] This invention provides an improved leveling rod and flashlight combination lighting fixture. The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a leveling rod flashlight combination lighting fixture includes a fixture connecting frame 1 and a fixed connecting frame 4. The fixed connecting frame 4 is located on one side of the fixture connecting frame 1. The surface of the connecting frame is anodized to adapt to harsh working conditions such as rain, fog, and dust. It also includes a luminous marker strip to assist in quickly locating the fixture installation point in dark environments. The fixture also includes connecting components.

[0027] The connecting assembly includes a pair of threaded mounting clamp connecting brackets 1 and fixed connecting brackets 4, with a handwheel screw lock 6 between them. Clamping plates 2 are fixedly installed on both the upper and lower sides of the clamp connecting brackets 1. Both connecting brackets are fixedly installed with magnetic interfaces, supporting quick assembly and disassembly with one hand.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Based on the first embodiment of this application which provides a leveling rod and flashlight combination lighting fixture, the second embodiment of this application proposes another leveling rod and flashlight combination lighting fixture. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0030] The second embodiment of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the clamp connecting frame 1 has a slot 101 inside, and wedge-shaped anti-slip teeth 1011 are fixedly installed on both sides of the slot 101 to engage with the groove of the measuring rod, thus preventing vibration and slippage.

[0032] Furthermore, each clamp plate 2 has a handwheel screw lock 3 threaded inside, and the fixed connecting bracket 4 has a circular screw tube clamp 5 fixedly installed on both the upper and lower sides. The other side of the circular screw tube clamp 5 is threaded with a handwheel screw lock 9.

It can also be equipped with a light shield or a condenser lens to reduce the interference of light scattering on the measurement line of sight.

[0033] Furthermore, a rubber pad 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the handwheel screw lock 3, and a rubber pad 8 is fixedly installed at one end of both the handwheel screw lock 3 and the handwheel screw lock 6 to increase the friction of the contact surface and prevent slippage and detachment.

[0034] Specific working method: First, place the flashlight into the circular screw clamp 5 and tighten the handwheel screw lock 3 9 to secure the flashlight. Then, engage the slot 101 of the clamp connecting frame 1 with the reading surface of the aluminum alloy leveling rod, ensuring the wedge-shaped anti-slip teeth 1011 engage with the leveling rod groove for positioning. Tighten the handwheel screw lock 3 on the clamping plate 2, and secure the clamp to the leveling rod using the rubber pad 7. Next, align the fixing connecting frame 4 with the clamp connecting frame 1, tighten the handwheel screw lock 2 6, and secure the clamp to the leveling rod using the rubber pad 2 8. Achieve a secure connection between the two modules; then adjust the angle between the fixed connecting bracket 4 and the circular screw clamp 5 to keep the flashlight beam parallel to the leveling rod reading surface, and lock all adjustment components; when performing leveling operations at night or in low light conditions, simply turn on the flashlight to illuminate the scale surface, and one person can complete the measurement by holding the rod, without the need for additional manual hand-held lighting; after the measurement is completed, loosen the handwheel screw lock 3 9, handwheel screw lock 2 6 and handwheel screw lock 1 3 in sequence to complete the disassembly and storage of the flashlight and clamp.
