Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of measuring instruments and relates to a prism positioning bracket for a total station instrument. Background Art

[0002] Due to its higher tensile, compressive and shear strengths compared with traditional bridges, steel structures have smaller cross-sections, lighter self-weights, faster processing speeds and are environmentally friendly, and are now widely used in the construction of various types of bridges in various fields. As the number of steel structure bridges increases, the appearance and symbolic features of each bridge have become the goals pursued by bridge designers, which has also led to the increasingly complex structures and alignments of current steel structure bridges.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of steel structure bridges, the control of alignment and accuracy is particularly important. Whether it is the layout of the control network or the measurement of the survey control points, a total station instrument needs to be used, and the prism is used in conjunction with the total station instrument; to ensure the accuracy of the manufacturing alignment, more measurement points need to be arranged. The lightweight micro prism is deeply loved by surveyors because of its convenient movement. However, due to the lack of a tripod, the operator needs to hold the small prism by hand during use. However, during the measurement process, it is necessary to ensure that the bubble of the prism is stable and centered. Slight shaking will affect the measurement accuracy and is not easy to control.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, 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 a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0019] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, a prism positioning bracket for a total station includes a fixed collar 1, a positioning assembly 2, and a leg 3. The fixed position 1 provides an installation space for the positioning assembly 2, and the leg 3 supports the fixed collar 1 to facilitate inserting a micro prism into the fixed collar 1;

[0020] The fixing collar 1 is triangularly distributed with positioning components 2 for positioning and supporting the rod part of the micro prism.

[0021] The positioning component 2 includes an adjusting rod 4, a ejector rod 5, a spring 6 and a plug 7. An installation hole 18 is formed inside the adjusting rod 4. One end of the installation hole 18 is provided with the ejector rod 5. The end of the ejector rod 5 protruding from the installation hole 18 is provided with an arc-shaped ejecting head 19 for clamping the rod part of the micro prism.

[0022] The other end of the installation hole 18 is provided with the plug 7. A spring 6 is arranged between the ejector rod 5 and the plug 7. The plug 7 prevents the spring 6 and the ejector rod 5 from running out of the installation hole 18.

[0023] The spring 6 enables the ejector rod 5 to have a pre-tightening force pressing towards the center. After the rod part of the micro prism is inserted into the fixing collar 1 and is located between the three ejector rods 5, the arc-shaped ejecting heads 19 at the ends of the three ejector rods 5 apply pressure to three points on the outer side of the rod part of the micro prism, so that it can be clamped without being locked (the friction force at the contact points between the arc-shaped ejecting heads 19 and the rod part of the micro prism is very small), and it can move up and down. Ensure that when the micro prism is horizontally adjusted, due to its own gravity, the silver tip at the lower end of the rod part can always be kept in contact with the measurement and control point.

[0024] The fixing collar 1 is triangularly distributed with legs 3 extending downward and outward below.

[0025] Further, a connecting ring 8 is arranged at the lower end of the leg 3. An adjusting leg 9 is arranged inside the connecting ring 8. A conical foot 10 is arranged at the lower end of the adjusting leg 9. The conical foot 10 can ensure that the contact between the adjusting leg 9 and the bottom surface is more sufficient and stable without shaking. By adjusting the height of the adjusting leg 9, the fixing collar 1 can be horizontally adjusted to ensure the accurate position of the micro prism.

[0026] Further, the adjusting leg 9 is screwed on the connecting ring 8. A knob 11 is arranged at the upper end of the adjusting leg 9. The knob 11 is convenient for the staff to rotate the adjusting leg 9.

[0027] Further, connecting holes 15 are triangularly distributed on the side wall of the fixing collar 1. The adjusting rod 4 is screwed in the connecting holes 15. Rotating the adjusting rod 4 can adjust the movement range of the rod part of the micro prism.

[0028] Further, a fixing hole 13 is formed in the plug 7. A handle rod 14 is arranged in the fixing hole 13. The handle rod 14 is convenient for screwing the plug 7 into the installation hole 18. After the plug 7 is installed in place, the adjusting rod 4 can be driven to rotate through the handle rod 14.

[0029] Further, the installation hole 18 is a stepped hole, and a limiting platform 17 capable of cooperating with the step of the installation hole 18 is arranged on the ejector rod 5.

[0030] Working principle: When the present utility model is in use, first align the fixed collar 1 with the observation point, then insert the rod part of the micro prism into the fixed collar 1, and at the same time make the arrow at the lower end of the rod part of the micro prism contact the observation point. Rotate the rod part of the micro prism to align the prism reflection center with the measuring instrument, and adjust the adjusting rod 4 to reduce the movement range of the rod part of the micro prism until the three arc-shaped heads 19 contact the rod part of the micro prism; then, by observing the position of the level bubble of the micro prism, the staff rotates the knob 11 to adjust the height of the adjusting leg 9 until the bubble is centered. At this time, the position of the micro prism is accurate and the measurement work can be carried out.

[0031] It can be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments adopted to illustrate the principle of the present utility model, but the present utility model is not limited thereto. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present utility model, and these modifications and improvements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
