The spring 110 is sleeved on the outside of the plug rod 109, and one side of the spring 110 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug rod 109. The end of the plug rod 109 close to the push rod 107 is provided with an inclined surface. Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, when the push rod 107 rotates along the arc groove 103, the push rod 107 squeezes the side slope of the insertion rod 109, thereby facilitating the push rod 107 to continue rotating so that the internal blind hole is aligned with the insertion rod 109;

[0031] The working principle of this utility model:

[0032] When the tripod is stored, the push rod 107 drives the rotating ring 104 to rotate, and the positioning plate 105 and the limit hook 207 are staggered, so that the rotating rod 201 is rotated and stored in place at the bottom of the clamping part 102. After the rotating rod 201 is completely stored under the top plate 101, the push rod 107 is pushed in the opposite direction, and the rotating ring 104 drives the side positioning plate 105 to rotate and insert into the inner side of the limit hook 207. At this time, the rotating rod 201 can no longer be clamped under the clamping part 102. The direction is turned outward. When the rotating ring 104 is rotated into place, the push rod 107 pushes the inclined surface at the end of the insertion rod 109. The push rod 107 is squeezed and slides inside the limiting sleeve 108. The spring 110 is compressed. When the blind hole on the side of the push rod 107 is aligned with the insertion rod 109, the spring 110 releases its elastic potential energy to drive the end of the push rod 107 to insert into the inner wall of the push rod 107. At this time, the push rod 107 cannot move, so that the rotating rod 201 is fixed under the top plate 101.

[0033] Secondly, when the rotating rod 201 is unfolded, the telescopic foot 205 is extended and retracted at the bottom of the rotating rod 201, thereby adjusting the overall height of the tripod. Turn the second knob 203, tighten the screw 202 and insert it into the rotating rod 201, so that the support plate 204 is pressed into the support groove 206, so that the telescopic foot 205 and the rotating rod 201 remain relatively fixed. Place the surveyor in the middle of the top surface of the top plate 101, and then tighten the first knob 111 so that the positioning screw 112 is screwed into the bottom of the surveyor, so that the surveyor and the top plate 101 remain fixed.

[0034] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention in detail. However, the above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
