Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering surveying instrument technology, specifically a multi-terrain waterproof total station. Background Technology
[0002] Total stations, as advanced optoelectronic instruments integrating electronic theodolites, photoelectric distance meters, and microprocessors, occupy an important position in modern engineering surveying. After a single observation at a surveying station, they can automatically display key observation data such as slope distance, zenith distance (vertical angle), and horizontal angle, and can almost simultaneously derive horizontal distance, elevation difference, and point coordinates. Furthermore, total stations connect to computers and plotters via transmission interfaces, and with corresponding data processing and plotting software, can achieve automated mapping. They are widely used in engineering surveying projects with extremely high accuracy requirements, such as large-scale above-ground building construction and underground tunnel construction, as well as in deformation monitoring. In practical use, total stations are currently mainly supported on the ground by a tripod, with a circular level connecting the two. While the circular level can adjust the level of the total station to some extent, its adjustment range has significant limitations. This limitation is particularly pronounced when dealing with complex terrain. In existing technologies, due to terrain factors, operators often need to frequently adjust parameters such as the position and height of the tripod, which consumes a lot of time and energy. Moreover, in narrow spaces or construction sites with complex terrain, tripod adjustments may be limited by the surrounding environment, making it difficult to reach the designated position. This seriously affects the efficiency and convenience of total station surveying work and greatly limits the effective use of total stations in complex terrain environments. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] In existing technologies, due to terrain factors, operators often need to frequently adjust parameters such as the position and height of the tripod, which consumes a lot of time and energy. Moreover, in narrow spaces or construction sites with complex terrain, tripod adjustments may be limited by the surrounding environment, making it difficult to reach the designated position. This seriously affects the efficiency and convenience of total station surveying work and greatly limits the effective use of total stations in complex terrain environments.
[0019] In view of this, the present invention provides a multi-terrain waterproof total station. Through the cooperation of the total station, connecting plate, leveling knob, base plate, lower support plate, electric push rod, upper support plate, connecting seat, tripod, fixed base, tilt sensor and level, and by adding a three-degree-of-freedom platform on the top of the tripod, the total station automatically performs large-scale initial leveling of the upper support plate and the total station in complex terrain. By rotating the leveling knobs, the total station performs small-scale fine leveling. This allows the total station to be quickly and conveniently adjusted to the accurate measurement angle in complex terrain environments, avoiding frequent tripod adjustments, improving the deployment convenience of the total station in complex terrain environments, reducing interference from terrain factors on the measurement work, and improving the adaptability and work efficiency of the total station in complex terrain surveying, thereby meeting the needs of various complex engineering surveying scenarios.
[0020] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.
[0021] Depend on Figure 1-5 It can be seen that a multi-terrain waterproof total station includes a total station 1, a connecting plate 2 connected to the bottom of the total station 1, a level bubble 21 on one side of the total station 1, a base plate 4 below the connecting plate 2, leveling knobs 3 equidistantly arranged on the sides of the connecting plate 2 and the base plate 4 that are close to each other, a lower support plate 5 below the base plate 4, an electric push rod 6 rotatably connected equidistantly to the top of the lower support plate 5, an upper support plate 7 above the lower support plate 5, the upper support plate 7 being connected to the base plate 4, and the output end of the electric push rod 6... A connecting seat 8 is rotatably connected to the upper support plate 7. The upper support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the upper support plate 7. An inclination sensor 11 is installed at the bottom of the upper support plate 7. The inclination sensor 11 is used to sense the tilt angle of the upper support plate 7 and transmit the sensing signal to the leveling controller in real time so that the leveling controller can automatically control each electric push rod 6 to adjust the upper support plate 7 to a horizontal state. A tripod 9 is provided at the bottom of the lower support plate 5. A fixed base 10 is provided at the top of the tripod 9. The fixed base 10 is connected to the lower support plate 5.
[0022] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the lower support plate 5, the electric push rod 6, the upper support plate 7, and the connecting seat 8, by installing the electric push rod 6 on the top of the lower support plate 5 and connecting the output end of the electric push rod 6 to the connecting seat 8 at the bottom of the upper support plate 7, a three-degree-of-freedom platform is formed. The three electric push rods 6 are automatically controlled by the leveling controller to achieve automatic leveling and stable support for the upper support plate 7. Through the cooperation between the total station 1, the connecting plate 2, the leveling knob 3, the base plate 4, the upper support plate 7, and the level bubble 21, by connecting the base plate 4 to the upper support plate 7, the total station 1 is supported at the top of the three-degree-of-freedom platform, and the upper support plate 7 of the three-degree-of-freedom platform is adjusted to a horizontal position. Afterwards, by observing the bubble level 21 and rotating each leveling knob 3, the total station 1 can be adjusted to an absolutely horizontal position, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data. The tilt sensor 11 is used to sense the tilt angle of the upper support plate 7 and transmits the sensing signal to the leveling controller in real time, so that the leveling controller can automatically control each electric push rod 6 to adjust the upper support plate 7 to a horizontal state. Through the cooperation between the tripod 9 and the fixed base 10, the tripod 9 provides stable support below the total station 1 and is connected to the lower support plate 5 of the three-degree-of-freedom platform through the fixed base 10. The total station 1, connecting plate 2, leveling knob 3, base plate 4, lower support plate 5, electric push rod 6, upper support plate 7, connecting base 8, and tripod are all connected. 9. The tripod 9 is unfolded and adjusted to a suitable height, then securely fixed in the complex terrain, providing a supporting foundation for the entire system. The lower support plate 5 of the three-degree-of-freedom platform is fixed to the fixed base 10, and the base plate 4 is fixed to the upper support plate 7 of the three-degree-of-freedom platform. The total station 1 is then installed on top of the connecting plate 2. The leveling controller controls the leveling of the three-degree-of-freedom platform. The leveling controller obtains the tilt angle of the upper support plate 7 through the tilt sensor 11 and automatically controls each electric push rod 6, causing the angle between the upper support plate 7 and the lower support plate 5 to change in multiple degrees of freedom directions, thus adjusting the upper support plate 7 to a horizontal position. This allows for a large-scale initial leveling of the upper support plate 7 and the total station 1. Then, by observing the bubble level 21 and rotating the leveling knobs 3, a small-scale fine leveling of the total station 1 is performed, adjusting it to an absolutely horizontal position to ensure the accuracy of the measurement data. Through the coordination between the total station 1, connecting plate 2, leveling knobs 3, base plate 4, lower support plate 5, electric push rod 6, upper support plate 7, connecting seat 8, tripod 9, fixed base 10, tilt sensor 11, and bubble level 21, and by adding a three-degree-of-freedom platform to the top of the tripod 9, the system automatically performs a large-scale initial leveling of the upper support plate 7 and the total station 1 in complex terrain, and performs a small-scale fine leveling of the total station 1 by rotating the leveling knobs 3.This design enables the total station 1 to be quickly and easily adjusted to accurate measurement angles in complex terrain environments, avoiding frequent adjustments to the tripod 9. This improves the ease of deployment of the total station 1 in complex terrain conditions and reduces interference from terrain factors on the measurement work. It also enhances the adaptability and efficiency of the total station 1 in complex terrain surveying, thus meeting the needs of various complex engineering surveying scenarios. The specific models of the total station 1, the electric actuator 6, and the tilt sensor 11 are not limited; any model that meets the usage requirements is acceptable.
[0023] Furthermore, a rotating seat 12 is equidistantly rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed base 10. Support rods 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the rotating seat 12. A telescopic rod 14 is movably connected to the side of the two support rods 13 that are close to each other. A fixing clip 15 is provided at the top of the telescopic rod 14. The fixing clip 15 is connected to the support rod 13.
[0024] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the telescopic support rod of the tripod 9 is formed by the cooperation between the support rod 13, the telescopic rod 14 and the fixing clip 15. There are three telescopic support rods, and the telescopic rod 14 has grooves on both sides, which limit the movement of the support rod 13 located on both sides of the telescopic rod 14. By adjusting the extension length of the telescopic rod 14 and using the fixing clip 15 to abut against the support rod 13, the length of the telescopic support rod can be adjusted and fixed. Through the cooperation between the tripod 9, the fixed base 10, the rotating seat 12, the support rod 13, the telescopic rod 14 and the fixing clip 15, the extension length of the telescopic rod 14 can be adjusted by rotating and unfolding the telescopic support rod at the bottom of the fixed base 10, and the length of the telescopic support rod can be adjusted and fixed by using the fixing clip 15 to abut against the support rod 13. This allows the tripod 9 to provide stable support for the total station 1 under various complex terrain conditions.
[0025] Furthermore, a limit seat 16 is provided at the end of the support rod 13. The limit seat 16 is movably connected to the telescopic rod 14. A locking knob 17 is threadedly connected to one side of the limit seat 16. The locking knob 17 is engaged with the telescopic rod 14.
[0026] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the support rod 13, the telescopic rod 14, the limiting seat 16 and the locking knob 17, the limiting seat 16 guides and limits the telescopic rod 14 to prevent the telescopic rod 14 from detaching from the support rod 13. Furthermore, when the tripod 9 is stored, the telescopic rod 14 can be fixed by rotating the locking knob 17.
[0027] Furthermore, the end of the telescopic rod 14 is provided with a foot 18, and the bottom of the foot 18 is provided with a ground plug 19;
[0028] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that, through the cooperation between the telescopic rod 14, the base 18 and the ground plug 19, when the total station 1 is set up, the stability of the total station 1 is improved by inserting the ground plug 19 into the ground, thereby ensuring the stability and measurement accuracy of the total station 1 under various complex terrain conditions.
[0029] Furthermore, a foot pedal 20 is provided on one side of the top of the foot 18. The foot pedal 20 is used to step on the ground when the ground plug 19 is inserted into the ground, thereby improving the convenience of inserting the ground plug 19 into the ground.
[0030] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the pedal 20 is used to exert force when the foot 18 is inserted into the ground, thereby improving the convenience of inserting the foot 18 into the ground.
