[0046] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 The rain-protecting mechanism for outdoor measuring equipment provided in this application will now be described. The rain-protecting mechanism for outdoor measuring equipment proposed in this application includes a tripod 1, three sliders 2, three support rods 3, and a shielding component 4.

[0047] The top of the tripod 1 is used to support outdoor measuring equipment, and the tripod 1 has three legs 11 arranged around it, each leg 11 being in an inclined state and used to support the ground.

[0048] Three sliders 2 are respectively set on three legs 11 and are slidably connected to the legs 11 along the length direction of the legs 11; and each slider 2 has a locking structure 5 between itself and the corresponding leg 11. The slider 2 and the leg 11 can be connected by the locking structure 5 to fix the position of the slider 2.

[0049] Three support rods 3 are spaced apart around the periphery of the tripod 1, and the three support rods 3 correspond one-to-one with the three sliders 2. The support rods 3 and the corresponding sliders 2 are connected by an adapter 6 so that the support is fixed on the ground and the support rods 3 are in a vertical state.

[0050] The shield 4 is positioned above the tripod 1 and is slidably connected to the upper end of each support rod 3, so that when the slider 2 slides, the shield 4 moves longitudinally accordingly, and the support rod 3 moves toward or away from the central axis of the shield 4.

[0051] In this embodiment, the outdoor measuring device can be fixed by fixing it to the top of the tripod 1. Based on this, the slider 2 and the support leg 11 are connected by the locking structure 5, and the shield 4 is supported by the support rod 3, so that the shield 4 can be fixed above the outdoor measuring device, ensuring the stability of the outdoor measuring device in rainy weather.

[0052] When moving slider 2, the distance between shield 4 and outdoor measuring equipment, and the distance between support rod 3 and tripod 1 can be adjusted, improving the versatility of this mechanism for different usage environments and user needs.

[0053] The rain-proof mechanism for outdoor measuring equipment provided in this embodiment, compared with the prior art, can achieve the purpose of rain protection and ensure the accuracy of outdoor measurement results, while also ensuring the flexibility of the tripod 1 during movement, so as to ensure the stability of the outdoor measurement effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the locking structure 5 includes multiple positioning holes 51, alignment holes 52, and locking bolts 53.

[0055] Multiple positioning holes 51 are provided on the support leg 11 and are spaced apart along the length of the support leg 11.

[0056] Alignment hole 52 is provided on slider 2 and is adapted to communicate with any of the positioning holes 51 when slider 2 moves.

[0057] The locking bolt 53 is adapted to be inserted into the interconnected positioning hole 51 and alignment hole 52, and is threaded with a locking nut 531, so that the head of the locking bolt 53 and the locking nut 531 respectively abut against the slider 2 and the support leg 11, thereby restricting the movement of the slider 2 relative to the support leg 11.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the adapter 6 includes a mounting base 61 and an arc-shaped plate 62.

[0059] Mounting base 61 is disposed between support rod 3 and slider 2, and is fixedly connected to the lower end of support rod 3.

[0060] The arc-shaped plate 62 is disposed between the mounting base 61 and the corresponding slider 2, and its two ends are detachably connected to the mounting base 61 and the slider 2 respectively, so that the support rod 3 is in a vertical state.

[0061] In actual use, when the outrigger 11 is fixed at different tilt angles, only the arc plate 62 needs to be replaced to adapt the outrigger 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the slider 2 has a protrusion 21 on the side facing the arc plate 62, and the arc plate 62 is provided with a through hole 621 suitable for the protrusion 21 to pass through.

[0063] In this embodiment, the protrusion 21 also includes a threaded groove 211 and a hand-tightening bolt 212.

[0064] The threaded groove 211 is formed on the end face of the protrusion 21 facing away from the slider 2.

[0065] The hand-tightening bolt 212 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 211 so that the head of the hand-tightening bolt 212 abuts against the side of the arc plate 62 facing away from the slider 2, thereby restricting the axial movement of the arc plate 62 along the protrusion 21.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two arc-shaped plates 62, and the two arc-shaped plates 62 are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting base 61 to improve the structural stability of the mechanism.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the shielding member 4 includes an alignment plate 41 and a rainproof film 42.

[0068] The alignment plate 41 is positioned above the tripod 1 and is coaxially arranged with the tripod 1; the alignment plate 41 has three support arms 411 extending horizontally toward the three support legs 11 respectively, and the three support arms 411 are slidably connected to the three support rods 3 respectively.

[0069] The rainproof film 42 is positioned above the alignment plate 41, and its lower side is connected to the extension ends of the three support arms 411 to form a circular rainproof surface above the tripod 1, preventing rainwater from falling on the surface of the outdoor measuring equipment.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the alignment plate 41 has an upwardly extending tension rod 7. The upper end of the tension rod 7 is connected to the center of the lower side of the rainproof film 42, so that the rainproof film 42 arches upward into a cone shape, thereby causing the liquid falling on the rainproof film 42 to roll off its upper side.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the alignment plate 41 has a reserved hole 412 that runs through the vertical direction, and a fixing nut 413 that is fixedly connected to it and communicates with the reserved hole 412.

[0072] The tensioning rod 7 also includes an adjusting screw 71, which is coaxially fixedly connected to the lower end of the tensioning rod 7 and is inserted into the reserved hole 412 and threadedly connected to the fixing nut 413.

[0073] By adopting the above technical solution, the tension rod 7 or the adjusting screw 71 can be rotated to move in the vertical direction relative to the alignment plate 41, thereby adjusting the distance between the upper end of the tension rod 7 and the alignment plate 41, and thus adjusting the tension of the rainproof film 42.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lower side of the support arm 411 is provided with a concave ball groove 4111 extending along its length direction, and the upper end of the support rod 3 has a ball 31 embedded in the concave ball groove 4111 to realize the sliding connection between the support rod 3 and the support arm 411, and to enable the support rod 3 to twist relative to the support arm 411.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, guide grooves 111 extending along their length are provided on opposite sides of the support leg 11. The slider 2 is provided with two protrusions 22 that are respectively slidably embedded in the two guide grooves 111 to restrict the movement of the slider 2 relative to the support leg 11 along the axial direction of the guide grooves 111 and to restrict the sliding trajectory of the slider 2 relative to the support leg 11.

[0076] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
