[0044] Exemplarily, the connecting sleeve 11 can also be fixedly installed on the lower positioning plate 4 by screws. The washer 13 can adopt an existing anti-slip ring, such as a rubber ring, etc., to improve the stability of the connection between the connecting sleeve 11 and the lock nut 12. By adopting the detachable connecting sleeve 11, those skilled in the art can select a suitable connecting sleeve 11 for assembly according to the tripod 1, improving the versatility and applicability of the assembly of the adjustment platform 2. In addition, by using the cooperation between the connecting sleeve 11 and the lock nut 12, the convenient assembly of the adjustment platform 2 on the tripod 1 can also be realized, reducing the use and safety difficulty of this adjustment device.

[0045] In the actual application process, the limiting member 9 can also extend into the connecting sleeve 11. By using the cooperation between the limiting member 9 and the connecting sleeve 11, the movement limit of the connecting member and the upper positioning plate 3 can be realized. At the same time, the limiting member 9 and the connecting sleeve 11 can also play a good role in blocking and protecting against external interfering light, avoiding the external interfering light from affecting the downward laser of the surveying instrument.

[0046] The centering adjustment device for a surveying instrument described in the present utility model has the advantages of simple structure, easy installation and adjustment, and high stability after adjustment, which is beneficial to ensuring the measurement accuracy of the surveying instrument. By arranging a slidable adjustment connecting member between the upper positioning plate and the lower positioning plate, the relative adjustment of the horizontal positions of the upper positioning plate and the lower positioning plate can be realized, so that it is convenient for the operator to perform centering adjustment on the surveying instrument without moving the tripod, reducing the operation difficulty of the operator and also being beneficial to improving the centering adjustment accuracy of the surveying instrument.
