Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engineering surveying and mapping, in particular to a portable surveying and mapping level which is convenient for leveling. Background Art
[0002] A level is an instrument used to establish a horizontal line of sight and measure the elevation difference between two points on the ground. It works based on the principles of leveling. Its main components include a telescope, a tube level (or compensator), a vertical axis, a base, and screws. Levels are categorized by structure as micro-tilt levels, automatic leveling levels, laser levels, and digital levels (also known as electronic levels). Levels are also categorized by accuracy as precision levels and standard levels.
[0003] In topographic surveying, the level is a crucial tool for establishing an elevation control network. By setting up multiple leveling points within a specific area and measuring them with the level, the elevation of each point can be determined, thereby establishing an elevation control network for the area.
[0004] The level needs to be precisely leveled before use to ensure accurate measurements. However, leveling the level can be a difficult task for beginners, and it can take more time and effort on uneven terrain or in strong winds. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a portable surveying and mapping level that is easy to level, and can level the level more quickly and accurately.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] A leveling observation support tube is fixed on the top of the leveling mechanism support spherical shell. The top of the leveling mechanism support spherical shell has a reflecting through hole connected to the leveling observation support tube. An initial reflection prism and a return reflection prism are fixed from bottom to top in the leveling observation support tube. A leveling dial is fixed in the leveling observation support tube between the initial reflection prism and the return reflection prism. A laser emitter is fixed on the side wall of the leveling observation support tube at the initial reflection prism.

[0017] Note: The relative position between the level body and the leveling mechanism support ball shell is precisely fixed and consistent. When the leveling mechanism support ball shell is in a horizontal state, the level body is also in a horizontal state.
[0018] Preferably, a leveling drive mechanism is provided on the horizontal support plate, and the horizontal support plate has a plurality of vertically penetrating leveling drive accommodating holes. The leveling drive mechanism includes a leveling drive nut that is rotatably engaged in the leveling drive accommodating hole.

[0031] Example 1:
[0032] A portable level for surveying and mapping that is easy to level. Figure 1 As shown, the leveler body 10 is mounted on the top of a tripod 30 through a leveling mechanism 20;
[0033] The level body 10 is the Tianjin Oubo DS32S level of the prior art. The innovation of the present application is not in the level body 10, but in the rapid and accurate leveling of the existing level body 10. Therefore, the innovation lies in the leveling mechanism 20.
[0034] The tripod 30 is composed of a horizontal support plate 31 and a plurality of telescopic support legs 32 connected to the lower side of the horizontal support plate 31;
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal support plate 31 has a leveling connection hole 201, and the leveling mechanism 20 includes a leveling mechanism support ball shell 21 connected in the leveling connection hole 201;
[0036] The inner wall of the leveling connection hole 201 is a spherical structure, and the leveling mechanism supports the spherical shell 21 to spherically rotate and fit in the leveling connection hole 201;
[0037] The top of the leveling mechanism supporting spherical shell 21 is a flat structure, and the surrounding of the leveling mechanism supporting spherical shell 21 is a spherical structure;
[0038] The bottom of the leveling mechanism supporting spherical shell 21 has a vertical opening 210 communicating with the inside and outside;
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a leveling support plate 22 is connected to the leveling connection hole 201, and the leveling support plate 22 is fixedly connected to the horizontal support plate 31 through a plurality of U-shaped connecting rods 221. The leveling support plate 22 is arranged inside the leveling mechanism support ball shell 21. A vertical calibration tube 25 with an upward opening is connected to the leveling support plate 22. A plumb bob weight ball 251 is fixed to the lower end of the vertical calibration tube 25. A vertical calibration reflector 250 is fixed inside the vertical calibration tube 25.
[0040] The leveling support plate 22 has a vertical connecting hole 220, in which a leveling support ball 23 is rotatably connected. The leveling support ball 23 has a vertical accommodating hole 230, in which a vertical calibration ball 24 is fitted and constrained on the spherical surface.

[0042] The vertical receiving hole 230 is a spherical hole, and the vertical calibration ball 24 is spherically rotated and fitted in the vertical receiving hole 230;
[0043] The leveling connection hole 201, the vertical connection hole 220 and the vertical receiving hole 230 are located at the same spherical center;
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, a leveling observation support tube 26 is fixed on the top of the leveling mechanism support spherical shell 21. Figure 5 As shown, the top of the leveling mechanism support spherical shell 21 has a reflective through hole 211 connected to the leveling observation support tube 26, and an initial reflection prism 261 and a return reflection prism 262 are fixed from bottom to top in the leveling observation support tube 26. A leveling dial 260 is fixed in the leveling observation support tube 26 between the initial reflection prism 261 and the return reflection prism 262. The leveling dial 260 is made of transparent material. A laser emitter 27 is fixed on the side wall of the leveling observation support tube 26 at the initial reflection prism 261. An eyepiece observation tube 28 is fixed on the outside of the leveling observation support tube 26 at the return reflection prism 262. The eyepiece observation tube 28 is connected to the inside of the leveling observation support tube 26, and a lens group 280 is provided in the eyepiece observation tube 28.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, a leveling drive mechanism 29 is provided on the horizontal support plate 31, and a plurality of vertically penetrating leveling drive accommodating holes 290 are provided on the horizontal support plate 31. The leveling drive mechanism 29 includes a leveling drive nut 291 that is rotatably engaged in the leveling drive accommodating hole 290.

The top of the leveling drive screw 292 is fixedly connected to the top of the leveling mechanism support ball shell 21 through a leveling drive connecting rod 293. A manual drive ring 294 is fixed to the top of the leveling drive nut 291.
[0047] The leveling drive screw 292 has a limit groove parallel to its axis, and the horizontal support plate 31 is fixed with a limit block that slides with the limit groove, so that the leveling drive screw 292 can only move along the axial direction of the leveling drive accommodating hole 290, thereby limiting the rotation of the leveling drive screw 292 around the axis of the leveling drive accommodating hole 290.
[0048] Example 2:
[0049] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 4 As shown, the vertical calibration ball 24 is magnetically levitated and constrained in the vertical accommodating hole 230. The vertical calibration ball 24 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. A plurality of magnetic levitation constrained inner magnets 241 are fixed to the outside of the vertical calibration ball 24, and a plurality of magnetic levitation constrained outer magnets 242 are fixed to the inner wall of the vertical accommodating hole 230. Both the magnetic levitation constrained inner magnets 241 and the magnetic levitation constrained outer magnets 242 are neodymium iron boron permanent magnets.
[0050] Example 3:
[0051] On the basis of Example 2, Figure 3 As shown, a vertical calibration protection outer tube 231 is fixed to the lower side of the leveling support sphere 23 , and a transparent vertical observation window 232 is provided on the vertical calibration protection outer tube 231 .
[0052] The plumb bob weight ball 251 is made of aluminum or copper. A strong magnetic fastener is fixed to the bottom of the vertical calibration protection outer tube 231. The eddy current induction principle is used to quickly consume the swing potential energy of the vertical calibration tube 25, so that the vertical calibration tube 25 is quickly in a stable vertical state under the action of gravity.
[0053] It should be noted that the vertical calibration reflector 250, initial reflective prism 261, return reflective prism 262, laser emitter 27, and lens group 280 used in this application are all based on existing technologies and are not specifically limited here. Those skilled in the art can choose them according to their needs as long as they can implement the technical solution of this application.
[0054] In actual application of the present invention, the tripod 30 is used to support and fix the entire device on the ground, and multiple telescopic support legs 32 are supported on the ground, and the horizontal support plate 31 is roughly horizontal by adjusting the length of the telescopic support legs 32;
[0055] Manually bend the vertical calibration protective outer tube 231 so that it is approximately in a vertical direction. Observe the vertical calibration tube 25 and the plumb bob weight ball 251 through the vertical observation window 232. Under the action of gravity, the vertical calibration tube 25 naturally droops in the vertical direction, and the plumb bob weight ball 251 is prevented from contacting the inner wall of the vertical calibration protective outer tube 231.
[0056] At this time, the vertical calibration tube 25 is in the standard vertical direction, and the level body 10 is leveled with the vertical calibration tube 25 as a reference;
[0057] By manually rotating each manual drive ring 294, the leveling drive screw 292 can be moved along the axis of the leveling drive receiving hole 290 by utilizing the threaded transmission between the leveling drive nut 291 and the leveling drive screw 292. The leveling drive screw 292 then drives the leveling mechanism support spherical shell 21 to rotate around the spherical center of the leveling connection hole 201 through the leveling drive connecting rod 293.
[0058] The initial reflection prism 261 and the return reflection prism 262 are 90° reflection prisms. The laser emitter 27 emits a laser beam. After being reflected at a right angle by the initial reflection prism 261, the laser passes through the reflection through-hole 211 and enters the vertical calibration tube 25. After being reflected by the vertical calibration reflector 250, the laser returns to the leveling observation support tube 26. The laser continues to pass through the initial reflection prism 261 and enters the eyepiece observation tube 28 after being reflected at a right angle by the return reflection prism 262. A clear image of the leveling scale 260 can be observed through the imaging of the lens group 280. The light spot irradiated by the laser on the leveling scale 260 is observed through the eyepiece observation tube 28. When the light spot irradiated by the laser on the leveling scale 260 is at the center point of the leveling scale 260, the leveling is completed.
[0059] When the laser spot irradiated on the leveling dial 260 is at the center point of the leveling dial 260, it means that the leveling observation support tube 26 and the vertical calibration tube 25 are coaxial and both are in a vertical state. The leveling observation support tube 26 is perpendicular to the top of the leveling mechanism support spherical shell 21, that is, the leveling mechanism support spherical shell 21 is in a horizontal state at this time. The level body 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the leveling mechanism support spherical shell 21 through the level connecting shell 11. When the leveling mechanism support spherical shell 21 is in a horizontal state, the level body 10 is also in a horizontal state.
