[0019] The outer surface of the equatorial mount 4 is fixedly connected with the declination adapter 10, which facilitates the use of personnel to install astronomical telescopes or cameras and other star observation equipment on the equatorial mount, so that the equatorial mount can play the role of assisting star observation. The holder 2, the harmonic reducer output end 3 and the rotating adjusting assembly 7 involved in the present application are all prior art, and will not be described in detail in the present application.
[0020] The end of the harmonic reducer output end 3 is rotatably connected with the equatorial mount 4, the inside of the harmonic reducer output end 3 is rotatably connected with the rotating adjusting assembly 7, the rotating adjusting assembly 7 is fixed in the inside of the equatorial mount 4, the rotating adjusting assembly 7 can adjust the rotation angle of the equatorial mount 4 relative to the harmonic reducer output end 3 according to the signal transmission of the zero position probe 8 and the limit position probe 9 under the drive of the harmonic reducer output end 3, so that the device can realize the functions of automatic limiting and resetting. The equatorial mount 4 is prior art, and the inside is provided with a motor, a synchronous wheel and other existing equipment, and detailed equipment introduction is not within the scope of the present application, so it will not be described in detail.
[0021] The inside of the harmonic reducer output end 3 is fixedly connected with the adapter assembly 5, the outside of the adapter assembly 5 is fixedly connected with the metal semicircular ring 6, the metal semicircular ring 6 is made of metal material, which can detect the reaction of the zero position probe 8 and the limit position probe 9, so that the zero position probe 8 and the limit position probe 9 can control the rotation angle of the equatorial mount 4 according to the position change of the metal semicircular ring 6, avoiding the rotation angle of the equatorial mount 4 being too large to collide with the tripod below, improving the use safety of the device.
