Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rangefinders, in particular to a deformable rangefinder. Background Art

[0002] Patent publication number CN105008856A discloses a rangefinder, particularly a handheld laser rangefinder, comprising a housing and a transmitting unit disposed within the housing for emitting a measuring beam in the direction of a measured object, a receiving unit for receiving the measuring beam reflected by the measured object, and a first operating member for initiating at least one distance measurement. It is recommended that the first operating member be configured as a sliding member. The present invention also relates to a method for operating a rangefinder, particularly a handheld laser rangefinder, in which at least one first distance measurement is initiated using a first operating member located on the rangefinder housing. It is recommended that the first operating member be moved from a second position disconnecting the rangefinder to a first position, particularly along a measuring axis, to initiate the first distance measurement, particularly to initiate a sequence of distance measurements, particularly a sequence of consecutive distance measurements. Existing rangefinders use a rear reference (tail reference) for distance measurement. When encountering intersecting slopes, the rear reference becomes unstable, causing the handheld device to shake during distance measurement, potentially leading to inaccurate distance measurements and necessitating multiple measurements for reconfirmation.
