For the convenience of description, refer to Figure 5 , the height direction of the casing 1 is now defined as the first direction X; wherein the casing 1 is hollow inside and is used to install electrical components such as the USB circuit board 5 and the control mainboard 6. In order to improve the sealing effect when the host and the total station body a are assembled, and at the same time, improve the sealing effect of the host itself, a first sealing groove 11 and a second sealing groove 12 are opened on the two end surfaces of the casing 1 that are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X. The first waterproof ring 3 is arranged in the first sealing groove 11 for assembling and sealing with the total station body a, and the second waterproof ring 4 is arranged in the second sealing groove 12 for assembling and sealing with the casing 1. That is, when the host and the total station body a are installed, the casing 1 and the total station body a are fixed with screws, and the first waterproof ring 3 is squeezed to form a sealing structure. Similarly, the same sealing method is used when the casing 1 and the cover are installed.

[0028] Specifically, in order to facilitate the positioning of the USB circuit board 5 during installation, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 A first mounting groove 13 is provided in the housing 1, and the USB circuit board 5 is located in the first mounting groove 13.

In order to facilitate waterproof design, a flexible cover plate 7 is rotatably provided in the second mounting groove 14. The flexible cover plate 7 is used to seal the opening 141 and can be used for waterproofing. In order to further improve the waterproof performance between the USB circuit board 5 and the housing 1 after installation, in this embodiment, a waterproof cover plate 8 is provided in the first mounting groove 13. The waterproof cover plate 8 is arranged above the USB circuit board. A preset gap is provided between the side wall of the waterproof cover plate 8 and the inner wall of the first mounting groove 13. The preset gap is filled with a waterproof adhesive layer 9, so that the USB circuit board 5 can be isolated from the internal space of the housing 1 to prevent moisture from entering the housing 1 from the USB interface 51.

[0029] Further, in order to improve the structural strength of the waterproof adhesive layer 9 and facilitate the adhesion of the 704 liquid silicone rubber when dispensing in the preset gap, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The top of the waterproof cover plate 8 is provided with a step 81, and a preset gap is provided between the side wall of the step 81 and the inner wall of the first mounting groove 13. The preset gap is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, and the preset gap can be adjusted according to the actual waterproof requirements and the sealing effect. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation of the waterproof cover plate 8, the waterproof cover plate 8 and the first mounting groove 13 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0030] Further, in order to simplify the structure of the flexible cover plate 7, refer to Figure 1 The flexible cover plate 7 includes a cover plate body 71 and a rotating shaft 72.
