[0002] In order to meet the high requirements for efficiency, accuracy, safety, and automation in modern surveying work, a total station with a driving motor, namely a robotic total station, has emerged.

The robotic total station can quickly and automatically search for and aim at the target after artificial learning of the target and automatically perform measurements, reducing the time and labor intensity of manual operations and greatly improving the efficiency of surveying work.

[0003] Currently, during the measurement and observation process of the total station, in order to avoid strong sunlight direct irradiation and rain, which affect the observation efficiency and accuracy. The general solution is that the observer stands beside the instrument and provides shade and shelters from wind and rain for the total station by holding an umbrella for the instrument. This solution especially has a large labor intensity for the observer. When the angle of the observer holding the umbrella is unreasonable, it affects the observation efficiency and accuracy. During the measurement process, temperature measurement is usually carried out at the measuring station, and the temperature data is used to correct the measurement data. The common method on-site is that the observer manually records the temperature data using a hand-cranked thermometer beside the measuring station, which is labor-intensive, and the hand-cranked thermometer cannot monitor the ambient temperature of the measuring station in real-time. It belongs to the stage measurement of the ambient temperature of the measuring station. At the same time, the contact between the human skin and the thermometer affects the accuracy of the temperature reading, thus affecting the accuracy of the temperature correction for the measurement data.

Detailed Embodiment

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present utility model.

[0026] Such as Figures 1-5As shown, a total station protection device capable of intelligent rotation and environmental temperature monitoring includes: a protective cover 3, an annular guide rail 7, an annular gear ring 8, a transmission motor 9, a power supply 15, a speed controller 16, a temperature sensor 17, a precision gear 18, etc. A total station 6 is installed inside the protective cover 3, and the total station 6 is fixed on the measurement and observation pier 1 by connecting screws. The inner side of the lower end of the protective cover 3 is connected with an annular guide rail 7, and the annular guide rail 7 is fixed on the measurement and observation pier 1. The inner wall of the protective cover 3 is provided with a speed controller 16 and a temperature sensor 17 from bottom to top. The speed controller 16 controls the protective cover 3 and the total station 6 to keep the same frequency speed and rotate in real time. The speed controller 16 and the transmission motor 9 are arranged at the bottom edge of the artificial observation window 4 end of the protective cover 3. The observer can start or stop the rotation of the protective cover 3 by operating the switch of the speed controller 16. The temperature sensor 17 can monitor the temperature inside the protective cover 3 in real time and make corresponding temperature corrections during the station data processing process.

[0027] The transmission motor 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the speed controller 16 through a motor frame. The end of the rotating shaft of the transmission motor 9 is fixedly sleeved with a precision gear 18. The precision gear 18 meshes with the annular gear ring 8 for transmission connection. The lower end of the annular gear ring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the upper end of the annular guide rail 7.

[0028] The upper end of the protective cover 3 is also fixedly connected to the top plate 5 through a connecting block, and the middle part of the lower end of the top plate 5 is fixedly connected to the power supply 15. The inner wall of the protective cover 3 is also provided with a temperature sensor 17, and the power supply 15 is connected to the temperature sensor 17, the speed controller 16 and the transmission motor 9 through a switch control.

[0029] Specifically, the temperature sensor 17, the speed controller 16 and the transmission motor 9 are all existing devices on the market, and are all existing technologies. The temperature sensor 17 is a sensor with a display screen. The temperature sensor 17 can monitor the temperature inside the protective cover 3 in real time. The ambient temperature of the measuring station is set on the temperature sensor 17 according to the needs. After the observation is completed, the data is copied through a data line or wireless transmission. The speed controller 16 can control the speed of the transmission motor 9. The transmission motor 9 brakes the precision gear 18 to rotate, thereby causing the protective cover 3 to rotate. By setting the parameters of the speed controller 16, the protective cover 3 and the total station 6 with a motor are controlled to rotate at the same frequency and speed in real time.

[0030] The precision gear 18 meshes precisely with the annular gear ring 8 to achieve efficient power transmission. The design of the precision gear 18 ensures a close fit with the annular gear ring 8, thereby achieving smooth power transmission on the annular path.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown in the figure: Inside the lower part of the protective cover 3, there is a sliding groove 11. The lower end of the sliding groove 11 is fixedly connected with a limit retaining ring 12 by bolts. The inside of the sliding groove 11 is movably sleeved on the outside of the annular guide rail 7.

[0032] Specifically: The inside of the sliding groove 11 is the sliding limit space for the annular guide rail 7, and the protective cover 3 rotates around the middle part. Using the limit retaining ring 12 can make the inside of the sliding groove 11 closely sleeved on the outside of the annular guide rail 7.

[0033] As Figure 5 shown in the figure: Inside the annular guide rail 7, there are round holes, and on the side walls of the round holes, there are symmetrically fixedly connected clamping blocks 13. Right-angled notches are opened on the opposite sides of the clamping blocks 13, and the right-angled notches are clamped on the four corners of the measurement observation pier 1.

[0034] Specifically: The right-angled notches are clamped on the four corners of the measurement observation pier 1, which can make the annular guide rail 7 more stable after positioning.

[0035] As Figure 5 shown in the figure: On the circumferential surface of the annular guide rail 7, there are through fixing screw ports 14. Two fixing screw ports 14 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the annular guide rail 7, and the axes of the fixing screw ports 14 extend towards the center of the annular guide rail 7. Inside the fixing screw ports 14, fixing bolts are inserted through threads to be fixed with the measurement observation pier 1.

[0036] Specifically: The fixing bolts inserted into the fixing screw ports 14 can fix the annular guide rail 7.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown in the figure: On the protective cover 3, there is an artificial observation window 4 at the eyepiece end of the total station 6. The artificial observation window 4 is connected with a switch door by a hinge. On the protective cover, there is a measuring point aiming window 2 at the objective lens end of the total station 6.

[0038] Specifically: The artificial observation window 4 can be opened. After setting up the measuring station and entering the automatic observation stage, the switch door can be closed through the hinge.

[0039] On the protective cover 3, the opening size of the measuring point aiming window 2 is 6 cm in width and 20 cm in length, ensuring that the total station 6 can observe all measuring points with large height differences and undulations.

[0040] As Figure 4 shown in the figure: There is an air vent 10 between the lower end of the top plate 5 and the upper end of the protective cover 3.

[0041] Specifically: There will be holes that are vertically connected between the annular guide rail 7 and the side wall of the measurement observation pier 1, which can form convection with the air vent 10 on the upper side of the protective cover 3, thereby being able to dissipate heat inside the protective cover 3.

[0042] The measuring observation pier 1 can be a trapezoidal observation pier, a cylindrical observation pier, etc. A forced centering plate is installed on the measuring observation pier 1.

[0043] Principle: When the equipment is installed, first, the clamping block 13 of the circular hole in the middle of the annular guide rail 7 is sleeved at the appropriate positions of the four corners of the measuring observation pier 1. Then, the bolt is inserted into the fixed screw thread 14, and then the bolt is tightened so that the contact end of the bolt presses against the measuring observation pier 1 to fix the position of the annular guide rail 7.

[0044] After the annular guide rail 7 is installed, the chute 11 at the lower end of the protective cover 3 is sleeved on the outside of the annular guide rail 7, and the protective cover 3 is installed so that the position of the measuring point aiming window 2 is set in the same direction as the objective lens end of the total station 6. At this time, the precision gear 18 and the annular gear ring 8 are meshed with each other. The power supply 15 supplies power through the switch to control the temperature sensor 17, the speed controller 16 and the drive motor 9. Then, the limit retaining ring 12 is fixedly connected by bolts, so that the annular guide rail 7 can rotate stably inside the chute 11.

[0045] When in use, the speed of the drive motor 9 is adjusted through the speed controller 16 so that the drive motor 9 controls the rotation speed of the protective cover 3 to be the same as the rotation speed of the total station 6. In this way, the position of the measuring point aiming window 2 and the objective lens end of the total station 6 always maintain the same direction position, without affecting the observation of the total station 6.
