[0038] When the total station, which is easy to store, is in normal use, the locking device 3 is opened, so that the base plate 211 is separated from the housing 221. The through slot at the lower end of the base plate 211 is inserted into the tripod. The total station body 1 is started, and the fixed-point laser at the lower end of the total station body 1 can pass through the light-transmitting plate 212 for normal use.
[0039] The outer casing assembly 22 includes a housing 221 and a handle 222. The lower end of the housing 221 is provided with a protrusion that mates with the through groove at the upper end of the base plate 211. The lower end of the housing 221 is inserted into the upper end of the base plate 211. The outer side of the housing 221 is connected to the locking device 3. The inner side of the housing 221 is connected to the drying device 4 and the protective device 5. The lower end of the handle 222 at the upper end of the housing 221 is fixedly connected.
[0040] The locking device 3 is provided in four sets, which are located around the bottom plate 211 and the box 221 respectively.

[0046] When the total station, which is easy to store, is in normal use, pressing down on button 44 causes the locking pin 42 to compress the second spring 43 downwards, pulling the drying box 41 outwards. This allows the desiccant in the drying box 41 to be replaced or replenished. After replacement or replenishment, pushing the drying box 41 causes the second spring 43 to push the locking pin 42 upwards into the through slot at the lower end of the drying box 41, thus locking the drying box 41 in the housing 221. The through hole at the bottom of the drying box 41 allows air to circulate between the drying box 41 and the housing 221. The protective device 5 protects the main body 1 of the total station, preventing damage during movement or storage.
[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
