Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of leveling measurement, in particular to a leveling measurement device for terrain surveying. Background Art

[0002] The level is an instrument for measuring the height difference between two points on the ground. When measuring, it is necessary to ensure that the observation mirror is parallel to the horizontal plane, otherwise it will lead to measurement errors.

[0003] The conventional way to adjust the level is to first use the telescopic bracket to make rough adjustments for leveling, and then use the angle screw button in conjunction with the level bubble to make fine adjustments. When adjusting, multiple angle screw buttons are required to adjust step by step and slowly to gradually make the level bubble reach a horizontal state.

[0004] Because three points are used to locate a horizontal plane, the entire process requires repeated adjustments of at least three angle screw buttons. It is also common that the adjustment range is too large and the adjustment has to be reversed, which greatly affects the work efficiency during outdoor inspection operations. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a leveling device for terrain surveying comprises a telescopic bracket 1, a self-leveling mechanism 2 and an observation mirror 3. The self-leveling mechanism 2 is arranged on the telescopic bracket 1, and the observation mirror 3 is arranged on the self-leveling mechanism 2 through a fixed plate 4. Each leg of the telescopic bracket 1 can be telescopically adjusted so as to roughly adjust the horizontality of the self-leveling mechanism 2 according to different terrains. The self-leveling mechanism 2 can automatically and accurately level after rough adjustment. The observation mirror 3 is used to observe the level rods at the front and rear ends and read the values ​​on the level rods to finally measure the test results. The level rod is a prior art and will not be described here. The fixed plate 4 can rotate relative to the self-leveling mechanism 2, so that the observation mirror 3 can observe in any direction. Before the test, in order to confirm whether the current observation mirror 3 is in a horizontal state and prevent the self-leveling mechanism 2 from malfunctioning and causing abnormal test results, a circular level 5 is installed on the fixed plate 4. When the bubble on the circular level 5 is centered, it indicates that the observation mirror 3 is in a horizontal state.

[0027] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the self-leveling mechanism 2 includes a base 6, a ball seat 7, a gravity ball 8, a clamping ring 9, a clamping nut 10 and a horizontal connecting plate 11. The base 6 is arranged at the upper end of the telescopic bracket 1, the ball seat 7 is hinged at the center of the upper wall of the base 6, the gravity ball 8 is arranged at the lower end of the ball seat 7, the clamping ring 9 surrounds the ball seat 7 and is arranged on the upper wall of the base 6, the clamping nut 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the clamping ring 9, and the horizontal connecting plate 11 is arranged at the upper end of the ball seat 7. The horizontality of the base 6 is limited by the telescopic bracket 1, and under the action of the gravity ball 8, the line connecting the center of the ball seat 7 and the center of the gravity ball 8 is always consistent with the direction of gravity, so that the horizontal connecting plate 11 at the upper end of the ball seat 7 remains in a horizontal state without repeated adjustment; it should be noted that during the automatic leveling process of the ball seat 7, the observation mirror 3 must be removed to prevent the weight of the observation mirror 3 from interfering with the gravity ball 8 and causing malfunctions during the leveling process.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a ball hole 14 is provided on the upper wall of the base 6, an outer spherical surface 15 is provided on the outer side of the ball hole 14, and a tightening groove 16 is provided on the outer side of the outer spherical surface 15; when the ball seat 7 is leveled, the ball seat 7 needs to be fixed by a clamping ring 9. In order to prevent the ball seat 7 from shifting during the fixing process, a damping chamber 13 is provided in the middle of the base 6, and the damping chamber 13 is filled with damping fluid; the ball seat 7 is hinged in the ball hole 14, and the clamping nut 10 is arranged in the tightening groove 16.

[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a pressure block 17 is provided in an array at an interval on the upper end of the clamping ring 9, and a thread 18 is provided on the outer wall of the pressure block 17. An inner spherical surface 19 is provided on the inner side of the pressure block 17, and the inner spherical surface 19 is adapted to the ball diameter of the ball seat 7. An inner spherical surface 20 is provided below the inner spherical surface 19, and the inner spherical surface 20 is adapted to the ball diameter of the outer spherical surface 15; the clamping nut 10 is adapted to the thread 18. In order to facilitate the rotation of the clamping nut 10, a rotating rod 12 is provided in an array on the outer side of the upper wall of the clamping nut 10. When the clamping nut 10 is rotated to move upward, the pressure blocks 17 arranged in the array will shrink inward and press on the ball seat 7 to fix the ball seat 7. When the clamping nut 10 is rotated to move downward, the ball seat 7 is separated from the pressure block 17, and the ball seat 7 can rotate freely under the action of the gravity ball 8.

[0030] like Figure 7 As shown, a roughened groove 22 is provided in a circumferential array on the upper end of the outer wall of the ball seat 7. The roughened groove 22 cooperates with the pressure block 17. When the pressure block 17 is pressed on the roughened groove 22, the friction between the two can be increased to achieve a better fixing effect. In order to prevent interference with the observation mirror 3 when the rotating rod 12 is rotated, an extension column 23 is provided on the upper end of the ball seat 7. The horizontal connecting plate 11 is arranged on the extension column 23. The length of the extension column 23 can be adjusted automatically. The extension column 23 can increase the working space of the clamping nut 10; a ball groove 21 is provided at the lower end of the ball seat 7, and the gravity ball 8 is arranged in the ball groove 21.

[0031] During specific operation, the observation mirror 3 and the fixing plate 4 are removed from the device, and then the length of each leg of the telescopic bracket 1 is adjusted to make the self-leveling mechanism 2 in a visually horizontal state to achieve a coarse adjustment effect.

[0032] Then rotate the clamping nut 10 to move the clamping nut 10 downward so that the pressure block 17 on the clamping ring 9 no longer fits the roughened groove 22 on the surface of the ball seat 7. At this time, the ball seat 7 will automatically swing under the action of the gravity ball 8 until the line connecting the center of the ball seat 7 and the center of the gravity ball 8 is consistent with the direction of gravity; at this time, the horizontal connecting plate 11 at the upper end of the extension column 23 is in a horizontal state.

[0033] Then, the compression nut 10 is screwed in the reverse direction to make the pressure block 17 on the compression ring 9 fit into the roughening groove 22 again. During the process of screwing the compression nut 10, the damping fluid in the damping chamber 13 has a certain damping effect on the gravity ball 8 and the ball seat 7, preventing the external force during tightening from causing shaking to the ball seat 7 and affecting the adjustment effect of the ball seat 7.

[0034] After retightening the compression nut 10, the ball seat 7 will no longer shake or deviate, and the fixed plate 4 will be reinstalled on the horizontal connecting plate 11. The observation mirror 3 on the fixed plate 4 is in a horizontal state at this time, and the observation mirror 3 can be rotated to a desired angle to observe the level rulers in front and behind, and the detection value can be read.

[0035] This solution does not require repeated adjustment of the angle screw button, and leveling can be completed by simply loosening the clamping nut 10 and tightening the clamping nut 10, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire detection operation.

[0036] It should be noted that, although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.

[0037] The above description of the utility model and its implementation methods is not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the invention of the utility model, they should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
