DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments.

[0016] Unless otherwise explicitly indicated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" or its variants such as "comprises" or "comprising" will be understood to encompass the stated element or component, but not to exclude the presence of other elements or additional components.

[0017] An automatic calibration tool for horizontal direction of one measuring cycle of a total station, as shown in Figs. 1-2The measurement unit 1 includes a mounting base 11, a rotating mechanism 12, a leveling mechanism 13, a clamping mechanism 14, and an angle measurement mechanism 15. The top surface of the rotating mechanism 12 is flush with the top surface of the mounting base 11. The rotating mechanism 12 is used to place the total station and drive the base of the total station to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. One end of the clamping mechanism 14 is connected to the mounting base 11, and the other end can flexibly clamp the telescope of the total station. The telescope and the clamping mechanism 14 are relatively stationary and have a certain clearance. The leveling mechanism 13 is located at the bottom of the mounting base 11 and can adjust the height and inclination angle of the mounting base 11. The angle measurement mechanism 15 is coaxially installed on the rotating mechanism 12 and can measure the true value of the rotation of the total station and output data. The error calibration unit 2 includes a collimator 21 and a collimator mounting rack 22. The collimator 21 is located at the top of the collimator mounting rack 22. The collimator 21 is used to eliminate the rotation error of the total station.

[0018] Specifically, the total station is coaxially placed on the top of the rotating mechanism 12 and rotates synchronously with the rotating mechanism 12. The clamping mechanism 14 is located at the side end of the rotating mechanism 12 and can keep the telescope horizontal and the observation position unchanged. That is, the measurement angle of the total station is only related to the rotation angle of the rotating mechanism 12. The clamping mechanism 14 can be flexibly connected with the telescope. Since the telescope and the rotating mechanism 12 cannot be completely coaxial, if rigidly clamped during rotation, the telescope and the base are easily affected by torsion, causing damage to the instrument. In the case of correct installation of the total station, the flexible clamping of the clamping mechanism 14 can make the telescope slightly swing with the rotation of the base during the rotation of the total station, so that the displacement of the telescope adapts to the displacement of the base. The clamping mechanism 14 can also limit the installation position of the total station and assist the correct installation of the total station. As a preferred embodiment, the collimator 21 is installed horizontally. The automatic calibration tool for the horizontal direction of the total station measurement unit also includes a data analysis unit that can receive and analyze the data input by the measurement unit 1. The data analysis unit includes a computer. The data analysis unit is electrically connected with the error calibration unit 2 and the measurement unit 1, and can realize the transmission of electrical signals and measurement information.

The rotation of the servo motor 1223 is transmitted to the primary-secondary anti-backlash worm 1224 through the shaft coupling 1221, so that the primary-secondary anti-backlash worm 1224 and the servo motor 1223 rotate at the same frequency. The primary-secondary anti-backlash worm 1224 drives the worm gear 1213 to rotate. Compared with using a gear, the cooperation of the primary-secondary anti-backlash worm 1224 and the worm gear 1213 can eliminate the influence of gear backlash on instrument zero return, and higher measurement accuracy can be provided.

[0021] As an optional embodiment, the leveling mechanism 13 comprises three adjustable legs, the adjustable legs can adjust the inclination angle of the mounting base 11, so that the mounting base 11 can adapt to different environments, and the top end of the mounting base 11 is provided with a leveling bubble, which can be used to confirm that the mounting base 11 is in a horizontal state.

[0027] Embodiment two:

[0028] The use method of the automatic detection tool for the horizontal direction of the total station one measurement return of the utility model is as follows:

[0029] S1: start the total station, the electronic control system and the autocollimator light pipe 21, and ensure that all devices are in a to-be-detected state;

[0030] S2: the turntable 1211 is located at zero position, and the total station and the autocollimator light pipe 21 are also placed at zero position;

[0031] S3: the high-precision turntable 1211 is rotated clockwise to the first detection position, the true value of the rotation angle is read through the built-in code disc of the turntable 1211 and is transmitted to the data analysis part, the autocollimator light pipe 21 synchronously records the offset angle of the detected total station and transmits the offset angle to the data analysis part, and the total station reads the rotation angle and transmits the rotation angle to the data analysis part;

[0032] S4: Repeat the above steps, check the 2, 3,..., n position until the regression zero position;

[0033] S5: telescope flip 180°, high-precision turntable 1211 counterclockwise rotation, repeat the above checking process;

[0034] S6: the original angle reading value recorded by the total station is corrected by the recorded value of the autocollimator 21, and the corrected angle measurement value is obtained;

[0035] S7: the corrected total station angle measurement value and the angle true value recorded by the high-precision turntable 1211 are calculated to obtain the measurement difference, and the standard deviation is obtained; according to the measurement difference, the standard deviation is calculated, and it is automatically judged whether the total station needs to be calibrated.

[0036] Wherein, the n is 23, at each check position, the autocollimator 21 can measure the angle deviation of the total station caused by slight swing at each measurement position, through the angle deviation value, and the angle measurement value obtained by the total station at each measurement position, the data analysis part can calculate the measurement true value by receiving the angle deviation value and the angle measurement value. By comparing the measurement true value with the angle true value measured by the angle encoder disc, the standard deviation can be calculated to check whether the measurement data of the total station is reliable.

[0037] The starting data analysis part includes starting the measurement computer and starting the measurement calculation software; the starting autocollimator 21 includes connecting the power cord and connecting the data analysis part with the data line; the starting total station includes determining that the total station is in the power-on state and connecting the data analysis part.

[0038] Wherein, the total station, the autocollimator 21 and the angle encoder disc input the measurement data into the data analysis part after each measurement, and the data analysis part analyzes and calculates the measurement error through the calculation software.

[0039] The turntable 1211 is placed at zero position, including leveling the mounting seat 11 and keeping the mounting seat 11 level bubble centered; the total station is placed at zero position, including leveling the total station installation foot, coaxially installing the total station base and the turntable 1211, and clamping the total station telescope by the clamping mechanism 14; the autocollimator 21 is placed at zero position, including installing the autocollimator 21 on the autocollimator 21 base, adjusting the autocollimator mounting frame 22 to make the autocollimator 21 horizontal and align the cross hair of the total station telescope.

[0040] The installation feet of the total station are leveled, which can avoid the deviation of the shaft and the rotating shaft of the total station, resulting in measurement error. The eccentricity of the total station is too large during the calibration process, which can cause damage to the instrument. As a preferred embodiment, the heights of the installation feet of the total station are all zeroed. In order to adapt to the height of the autocollimator 21, the heights of the installation feet can also be the same, as long as the horizontal bubble of the total station is kept centered. The clamping mechanism 14 can ensure that the observation direction of the telescope of the total station is horizontal. The clamping mechanism 14 is provided with a clamping groove. When the telescope of the total station is fixed on the clamping mechanism 14, the base of the total station is coaxial with the turntable 1211. The autocollimator 21 and the telescope of the total station are horizontal and have the same height, and the autocollimator 21 can face the crosshair of the total station.

[0041] The automatic determination of whether the total station needs to be calibrated includes comparing the calculated standard deviation with a preset standard.

[0042] The preset standard is the requirement of the national calibration regulation JJG100-2003, which is convenient for pre-delivery calibration of the total station and calibration of the total station to be qualified during use.

[0043] By adopting the above technical scheme, an automatic calibration tool for the horizontal direction of one measurement of the total station is provided. The total station is installed on a turntable 1211 which can rotate freely. The turntable 1211, the worm gear 1213 and the vertical shaft 1212 are coaxially installed. The vertical shaft 1212 is provided with an angle encoder disc, which can measure the angle true value of the rotation of the turntable 1211. The servo motor 1223 can drive the primary-secondary anti-backlash worm 1224, and then drive the worm gear 1213 cooperating with the primary-secondary anti-backlash worm 1224 to rotate, thereby realizing the electric rotation of the total station. The telescope of the total station is flexibly fixed by the clamping mechanism 14. During the rotation process, the torque influence caused by the installation of the total station and the turntable 1211 which cannot be absolutely coaxial can be eliminated through slight swinging. By setting the autocollimator 21, the angle deviation of the total station caused by slight swinging at each measurement position can be measured. Through the angle deviation value and the angle measurement value obtained by the total station at each measurement position, the angle true value can be calculated. The computer receives the angle deviation value and the angle measurement value to calculate the measurement true value. Through comparison with the angle true value measured by the angle encoder disc, the standard deviation can be calculated to determine whether the measurement data of the total station is reliable, thereby providing convenience for the calibration of the total station.
