Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support technology, specifically a support for an automated 3D scanner. Background Technology
[0002] A 3D scanner stand is an auxiliary device designed for 3D scanners to stabilize, fix, and adjust the scanner's position and angle to ensure an efficient and accurate scanning process.
[0003] Patent CN222597316U discloses a tripod that facilitates height and orientation adjustment of instruments to meet the requirements of 3D scanning. The tripod includes a tripod body, a rotation drive device, an equipment mounting platform, and a lifting adjustment device for adjusting the height of the mounting platform. The equipment mounting platform is positioned above the tripod body. The lifting adjustment device is mounted on the tripod body and connected at one end to the equipment mounting platform. A rotatable turntable is provided between the equipment mounting platform and the lifting adjustment device. The equipment mounting platform is connected to the lifting adjustment device via the turntable. The rotation drive device is connected to the turntable to drive its rotation. This technology is convenient to use, meets the requirements of 3D scanning, and can improve the efficiency of 3D scanning.
[0004] However, the above technology still has the following problems:
[0005] In practical applications, the structural stability of tripods decreases significantly when exposed to strong winds or vibrations, making it difficult to maintain their original stability. More importantly, there is a high risk of single-point failure: if any one leg breaks or its telescopic fixing fails, the entire support structure may lose its support capacity, causing the precision equipment mounted on the support to tip over. This not only directly damages expensive equipment and causes significant economic losses, but may also delay established work plans and production processes due to equipment downtime, adversely affecting project progress and business continuity. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a support bracket for an automated 3D scanner, which can provide auxiliary support and reduce the possibility of the equipment tipping over due to damage to the support legs.
[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a support for an automated 3D scanner, including a tripod body, a base plate placed at the lower end of the tripod body, a height adjustment mechanism fixedly connected to the base plate, a support block fixedly connected to the height adjustment mechanism, three U-shaped plates arranged in a circular array fixedly connected to the support block, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the U-shaped plates, a telescopic mechanism fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a U-shaped tube clamp fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic mechanism, a fixing component threadedly connected to the telescopic mechanism, and a binding component fixedly connected to the telescopic mechanism.
[0008] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes an internally threaded tube fixedly connected to the chassis, a matching externally threaded tube threadedly connected to the internally threaded tube, and a support block fixedly connected to the upper end of the externally threaded tube.
[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism includes an outer rod fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, a sliding cavity is provided inside the outer rod, an inner rod is slidably connected inside the sliding cavity, and a groove is provided on the inner wall of the sliding cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes a tightening bolt threaded onto the outer rod, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the tightening bolt, the pressing plate being located inside the groove.
[0011] Furthermore, an anti-slip and wear-resistant pad is fixedly connected to the surface of the extrusion plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the binding assembly includes a strap fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer rod, with a velvet Velcro fastener fixedly connected to the upper surface of the strap and a hook Velcro fastener fixedly connected to the lower surface of the strap.
[0013] Furthermore, the U-shaped plate is threaded with a tightening bolt for limiting the rotation of the shaft.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This type of automated 3D scanner bracket allows the chassis to be placed in the middle of the unfolded bracket during use. The height of the support block can be adjusted using the height adjustment mechanism, and the length of the telescopic mechanism can be adjusted and fixed to facilitate the connection of the U-shaped tube clamp at the front end to the support leg of the bracket, thereby reinforcing the bracket. At the same time, a heavy object is placed on the chassis to further enhance its stability. It can also provide auxiliary support if one of the support legs is damaged, preventing the equipment from falling directly to the ground. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 An automated 3D scanner support includes a tripod body 1, a base 2 placed at the lower end of the tripod body 1, a height adjustment mechanism fixedly connected to the base 2, a support block 3 fixedly connected to the height adjustment mechanism, three U-shaped plates 4 arranged in a circular array fixedly connected to the support block 3, a rotating shaft 5 rotatably connected to the U-shaped plates 4, a telescopic mechanism fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5, a U-shaped tube clamp 6 fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic mechanism, a fixing component threadedly connected to the telescopic mechanism, and a binding component fixedly connected to the telescopic mechanism.
[0022] The support for the automated 3D scanner in this utility model is similar to existing tripod structures that facilitate height and orientation adjustments. For example, patent CN222597316U discloses a tripod for convenient height and orientation adjustments. The main improvement of this utility model is that it provides auxiliary support for the tripod body 1, preventing damage to a single leg from causing the equipment to tip over, thus avoiding economic losses and maintaining normal operation. Figures 1 to 3As shown, when using the automated 3D scanner bracket of this utility model, first unfold and install the tripod body 1, then place the base 2 in the middle of the three support legs of the tripod body 1. The height of the support block 3 can be adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism, thereby adjusting the height of the three telescopic mechanisms. Adjust the position of the three telescopic mechanisms to be below the support legs of the tripod body 1, release the restriction of the telescopic mechanisms by the fixing components, rotate the telescopic mechanisms, and adjust the length of the telescopic mechanisms, thereby connecting the U-shaped tube clamp 6 fixed at the front end of the telescopic mechanisms to the support legs of the tripod body 1. Then fix the telescopic mechanisms by the fixing components. Before installing the equipment on the tripod body 1, some heavy objects can be placed on the base 2 to reinforce it and further improve the stability of the tripod body 1.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the height adjustment mechanism includes an internally threaded tube 7 fixedly connected to the chassis 2, an externally threaded tube 8 that matches the internally threaded tube 7, and a support block 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the externally threaded tube 8.
[0024] Specifically, by rotating the internally threaded tube 7, the height difference between the internally threaded tube 7 and the externally threaded tube 8 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the support block 3 and the chassis 2.
[0025] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the telescopic mechanism includes an outer rod 9 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5, a sliding cavity 10 is provided inside the outer rod 9, an inner rod 11 is slidably connected inside the sliding cavity 10, and a groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding cavity 10.
[0026] Specifically, by releasing the fixing component from the inner rod 11, the U-shaped tube clamp 6 is pulled, causing the inner rod 11 to move along the sliding cavity 10, thereby adjusting the length of the telescopic mechanism.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a tightening bolt 13 threaded onto the outer rod 9, and a pressing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the front end of the tightening bolt 13. The pressing plate 14 is located inside the groove 12.
[0028] Specifically, rotating the tightening bolt 13 causes the pressing plate 14 to move along the direction of the groove 12 until the pressing plate 14 abuts against the inner rod 11 and presses the inner rod 11, thereby fixing the inner rod 11 and thus fixing the length of the telescopic mechanism.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, an anti-slip and wear-resistant pad 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the extrusion plate 14.
[0030] Specifically, the anti-slip and wear-resistant pad 15 can increase the friction between the extrusion plate 14 and the inner rod 11, thereby enhancing the fixing effect.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the binding assembly includes a strap 16 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer rod 9. A velvet Velcro 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the strap 16, and a hook Velcro 18 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the strap 16.
[0032] Specifically, after the scanning work is completed, the Velcro 17 on one of the straps 16 can be connected to the hook Velcro 18 on another strap 16 in sequence to bind the three telescopic mechanisms, thereby facilitating carrying and transportation.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the U-shaped plate 4 is threaded with a tightening bolt 19 for limiting the rotation of the shaft 5.
[0034] Specifically, the rotating shaft 5 can be fixed by tightening bolt 219, thereby restricting the rotation of the telescopic mechanism.
[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
