DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more apparent, obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation manners of the utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings in the specification.

[0023] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present utility model, however, the present utility model can also be implemented in other manners different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present utility model, therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the "one embodiment" or "embodiment" referred to herein means that specific features, structures or characteristics can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present utility model. "In one embodiment" appearing in different places in the specification does not mean the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is independent of or mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0025] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 1 and the accompanying drawings Figure 2 :

[0026] Embodiment one: the embodiment provides a flexible support rod for laser range finder, which comprises a telescopic mechanism, a goose neck pipe 3, a control mechanism and a laser range finder body 7; the telescopic mechanism comprises an outer cylinder 1, the top of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with an inner cylinder 2 in a telescopic manner, the top of the inner cylinder 2 is movably installed with the goose neck pipe 3, the top of the goose neck pipe 3 is fixedly installed with a clamping seat 6, and the laser range finder body 7 is located on the clamping seat 6; the control mechanism comprises a control panel 5 arranged at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, the surface of the laser range finder body 7 is provided with a reading button 8, a micro motor 10 is fixedly installed on the clamping seat 6, the output end of the micro motor 10 is fixedly installed with a swing arm 9, and the reading button 8 is located on the rotating path of the swing arm 9.

[0027] When performing laser ranging work, the laser range finder body 7 is fixed on the support rod by the clamping seat 6, and the ranging can be performed by hand, in the process, the inner cylinder 2 can be telescopically moved in the outer cylinder 1 according to the ranging position to be measured, so as to adjust the overall height of the device, and the goose neck pipe 3 can be telescopically moved in the inner cylinder 2 to further adjust the overall height of the device, thereby improving the adjustable range of the device, the appearance of the goose neck pipe 3 is similar to the neck of a goose, which usually presents a curved shape, allowing adjustment in multiple directions, and once the desired angle is adjusted, the position can be kept unchanged to prevent accidental rebound or movement, so that the position and orientation angle of the laser range finder body 7 are adjusted by the goose neck pipe 3, the laser emitting port of the laser range finder body 7 is aligned with the ranging position to perform ranging work, thereby increasing the application range of the device and facilitating personnel use.

[0028] When the height and angle adjustment of the laser range finder body 7 is completed, the micro motor 10 is started by the control panel 5 at the bottom of the device, and the swing arm 9 is rotated until it hits the reading button 8 and is pressed, so that the laser range finder body 7 is adjusted to the read state for reading distance measurement work, and after completion, the swing arm 9 is reversed by the control panel 5 to control the micro motor 10, so that it is separated from the reading button 8, thereby stopping the distance measurement work. The control panel 5 is located beside the hand holding the outer cylinder 1, which is convenient for personnel to easily control, without the need to move the laser range finder body 7 to a low place to start again. The height and angle adjustment for distance measurement work improves work efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are both threaded with a limiting pin 4.

[0030] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2: Figure 2 and Figs. 3 and 4: Figure 3

[0031] Specifically, both sides of the clamping seat 6 are installed with clamping plates 601 through springs 605, and the clamping plates 601 at both ends of the laser range finder body 7 are fixedly installed with side plates 602.

[0032] Specifically, a limiting block 604 is fixedly installed between the spring 605 and the clamping plate 601, and a limiting groove 603 is arranged in the clamping seat 6 around the limiting block 604. When the clamping plate 601 is pulled, the limiting block 604 will move in the limiting groove 603 to limit the position of the clamping plate 601, so that it moves stably horizontally left and right.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, after the gooseneck pipe 3 moves in the inner cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 2 moves in the outer cylinder 1 to adjust the height of the device, the limiting pin 4 is rotated to make its front end contact the gooseneck pipe 3 or the inner cylinder 2, thereby limiting the relative position of the gooseneck pipe 3 and the inner cylinder 2 or the relative position of the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1, ensuring stability.

[0034] When assembling the laser range finder body 7, first pull apart the two clamping plates 601, then place the laser range finder body 7 between the two clamping plates 601, and then loosen the clamping plate 601. The spring 605 will pull the clamping plate 601 to the initial direction due to its elasticity, until it contacts and clamps the laser range finder body 7. The side plate 602 limits the position of both ends of the laser range finder body 7, completing the assembly of the laser range finder body 7.

[0035] As shown in Figs. 5 and 6: Figure 3 and Figs. 7 and 8: Figure 4

[0036] ​​Embodiment two: this embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, the difference is that the bottom of the gooseneck pipe 3 is fixedly installed with a sliding block 14, the two sides of the inner cylinder 2 are provided with movable grooves 13, and the sliding block 14 is in sliding connection with the movable grooves 13.

[0037] Specifically, the gooseneck pipe 3 and the clamping seat 6 are fixedly installed with a holding block 11, and the inner side of the front end of the inner cylinder 2 is provided with a rubber pad 12.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, when the gooseneck pipe 3 needs to be moved in the inner cylinder 2, the user holds the sliding block 14 through the movable groove 13, and then pushes it downward under the limiting guidance of the movable groove 13 to move it downward, so as to pull the gooseneck pipe 3 into the inner cylinder 2, and the gooseneck pipe 3 will be automatically corrected during the process, without the need for manual adjustment of the gooseneck pipe 3 to the vertical state, improving the work efficiency, and the rubber pad 12 will reduce the friction between the gooseneck pipe 3 and the inner cylinder 2, avoiding damage to the inner cylinder 2 due to different angles of the gooseneck pipe 3 during stretching and contraction;

[0039] The user can more conveniently and labor-savingly adjust the angle of the laser range finder body 7 by holding the holding block 11, and the holding block 11 can store batteries to power the micro motor 10, and then the micro motor 10 is wirelessly connected with the control panel 5 to realize remote control without wires.
