[0023] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2 The acute angle a between the light ray irradiated downward by the laser pen 3 and the horizontal plane is 45°, and the light source point is flush with the upper end of the heliostat stand.
[0024] In the above embodiment, by limiting the included angle a of the laser pen 3 to 45°, the equal sides of the isosceles right triangle can be utilized to make it more convenient to set the azimuth angle positioning point of the heliostat stand, which only needs to add the length between the upper part of the heliostat stand and the ground when the heliostat stand is vertical to the length of the basic interval between the light source point of the laser pen 3 and the center axis of the heliostat stand. For example, when the basic length of the interval between the light source point of the laser pen 3 and the center axis of the heliostat stand is 0.2 m, and the conventional heliostat stand is 2.5 m, the length extending upward from the ground is 1.5 m, then when setting the azimuth angle positioning point, the positioning point is set on the circle with the axis of the heliostat stand as the center and the radius of 1.7 m, which can realize the coincidence of the light of the laser pen 3 and the positioning point.
[0025] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the laser pen 3 is connected with the connecting flange 1 through the measuring rod 4, the outer diameter of the connecting flange 1 is larger than the outer diameter of the heliostat stand, the measuring rod 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting flange 1, the measuring rod 4 is parallel to the center axis of the connecting flange 1, the laser pen 3 is fixedly connected with a support, and the support is fixedly connected with the measuring rod 4.
[0026] In the above embodiment, by limiting the outer diameter of the connecting flange 1 to be larger than the outer diameter of the heliostat stand, it can be ensured that there is an interval between the measuring rod 4 and the heliostat stand after installation, and the perpendicularity of the measuring rod 4 and the connecting flange 1 will not be affected.
[0027] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , considering that the RTK detector needs the heliostat stand to be in the vertical state for the highest accuracy when applied, the perpendicularity of the heliostat stand is required to be higher during application, and the end of the measuring rod 4 away from the connecting flange 1 may be offset or floating during the measurement of the perpendicularity, which affects the measurement of the perpendicularity of the heliostat stand, therefore, a fixed clamp 5 is connected to the end of the measuring rod 4 away from the connecting flange 1, the fixed clamp 5 is used to be sleeved and installed on the heliostat stand to realize the reinforcement of the whole measuring rod 4.
[0028] In the above embodiment, by setting the fixed clamp 5, the end of the measuring rod 4 away from the connecting flange 1 can be further limited, which avoids the end of the measuring rod 4 away from the connecting flange 1 from being offset or floating during the measurement of the perpendicularity of the heliostat stand by the perpendicularity measuring instrument, which affects the measurement of the perpendicularity of the heliostat stand.
[0029] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the connecting flange 1 is connected to the upper end of the heliostat stand through a plurality of positioning bolts 11.
[0030] In the above embodiment, specifically, four positioning bolts 11 of M10*60 are arranged to connect the connecting flange 1 and the heliostat column, which can facilitate dismounting and mounting, thereby realizing modular application to other heliostat installation to determine the azimuth angle.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2 The fixed hoop 5 comprises two detachably connected hoop rings 51, the hoop ring 51 is semicircular, the lower end of the measuring rod 4 is fixedly connected with the outer wall of one of the hoop rings 51, and the two hoop rings 51 are sleeved and installed on the center line of the heliostat column after the center line of the connecting flange 1 coincides with the center line.
[0032] In the above embodiment, the two end portions of the hoop ring 51 are outwardly extended with flange thin plates, the two hoop rings 51 are connected through high-strength bolts, preferably, a soft rubber layer can be arranged on the inner wall of the hoop ring 51, through the arranged rubber layer, the hoop ring 51 can avoid damaging the side wall of the heliostat column, wherein the rubber layer is thin, when the hoop ring 51 is clamped, the parallel relationship between the measuring rod 4 and the center line of the connecting flange 1 is not affected, and the perpendicularity of the measuring rod 4 and the connecting flange 1 is not affected, thereby the verticality detection of the heliostat column is not affected.
[0033] The materials of the connecting flange 1, the hoop ring 51 and the measuring rod 4 are all aluminum alloy or carbon fiber.
[0034] In the above embodiment, by limiting the materials of the connecting flange 1, the hoop ring 51 and the measuring rod 4 to be aluminum alloy or carbon fiber, the overall structure weight can be reduced, the use is not only light but also durable, and the portability, work efficiency and safety are greatly improved.
[0035] The above only discloses several specific embodiments of the utility model, but the utility model embodiments are not limited to this, any changes that can be thought of by any person skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
