Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of total station installation technology, specifically to an auxiliary tool for the rapid setup of a total station. Background Technology
[0002] A total station is a precision surveying tool that requires a special support frame for use. First, the support frame must be fixed to the ground, and then the total station is mounted on top of the support frame. To ensure surveying accuracy, the total station needs to be leveled.
[0003] However, the traditional leveling method involves installing the total station on top of the support, first making simple coarse adjustments to the multiple legs to make the top of the support roughly level, and then making fine adjustments using multiple bolts on the top of the support to achieve a precise leveling effect. However, although this method has high accuracy in actual use, it requires leveling every time the instrument is moved when measuring multiple points, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Therefore, a total station quick setup auxiliary tool is provided. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] This application provides a quick setup auxiliary tool for total stations, which solves the problem that existing total stations require leveling every time they are moved when measuring multiple points, making the operation cumbersome and the leveling process time-consuming.
[0023] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0024] This utility model discloses an auxiliary tool for the rapid setup of a total station.
[0025] According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a support base 1 and a support leg 3 that is movably hinged to the bottom of the support base 1. The support leg 3 is composed of two parts that are movably inserted into each other and fixed with bolts. In use, the support leg 3 is flipped outward from the bottom of the support base 1 and then pulled out at the bottom end of the support leg 3 and fixed with bolts so that the top of the support base 1 is roughly horizontal, thus completing the coarse adjustment.
[0026] A quick-leveling mechanism 2 is provided on the support base 1. The quick-leveling mechanism 2 includes a flip plate 21 and an assembly plate 22 disposed on top of the flip plate 21. A gravity leveling ball 25 is integrally formed at the bottom of the assembly plate 22, and the gravity leveling ball 25 is rotatably connected to one side of the flip plate 21. A locking member 24 is provided on the other side of the flip plate 21. The flip plate 21 is rotatably disposed in the support base 1. By flipping the flip plate 21 downwards by 180 degrees, the assembly plate 22 faces downwards, automatically leveling itself using gravity. The locking member 24 is used to fix the gravity leveling ball 25 after automatic leveling. The assembly plate 22 and the gravity leveling ball 25 are manufactured using a casting process and then polished and quality-adjusted to ensure uniform mass. Therefore, during use, when the assembly plate 22 is inverted and suspended using the gravity leveling ball 25, it can automatically align itself perpendicular to the direction of gravity under the action of gravity, thus forming a horizontal plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity on the surface of the assembly plate 22.
[0027] A through-hole is provided on one side of the bracket 1. The mounting plate 22 is flipped up and down through the through-hole. A fixing member 4 for fixing the flip plate 21 is provided in the through-hole. The fixing member 4 includes a detachable clamping plate 41 in the through-hole. A clamping block 42 is integrally formed on the inner side of the clamping plate 41. The flip plate 21 has a slot 26 on both sides. The clamping block 42 is movably inserted into the slot 26 so that the flip plate 21 is parallel to the bracket 1. A pin 43 is slidably provided inside both sides of the clamping plate 41. A spring 44 is provided between the two sets of pins 43. Fixing holes that match the pins 43 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the bracket 1. In use, the clamping block 42 is inserted into the slots 26 on both sides to fix it so that the flip plate 21 can be parallel to the top surface of the bracket 1.
[0028] The locking component 24 includes a fixing plate 241 fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the flip plate 21. A positioning frame 242 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 241. A lifting part 243 is slidably installed in the positioning frame 242. The top end of the lifting part 243 passes through the fixing plate 241. The lifting part 243 is used to fix the gravity leveling ball 25. An adjusting screw 244 is threadedly connected to the inner bottom of the positioning frame 242. The top end of the adjusting screw 244 is rotatably connected to the lifting part 243. An inner screw is fixedly installed at the top end of the lifting part 243. The concave pressure block 245 and the top of the flip plate 21 are integrally formed with a ball seat 23. The gravity leveling ball 25 is rotatably connected in the ball seat 23, and the concave pressure block 245 extends into the ball seat 23 and abuts against the outer wall of the gravity leveling ball 25. Rotating the adjusting screw 244 causes the adjusting screw 244 to push the lifting part 243 to move into the ball seat 23, so that the concave pressure block 245 is attached to the surface of the gravity leveling ball 25, fixing the gravity leveling ball 25 and preventing the gravity leveling ball 25 from sliding.
[0029] Working principle: When using this device, the support leg 3 is flipped outward from the bottom of the support base 1 and then pulled out from the bottom end of the support leg 3. Then, it is fixed with bolts so that the top of the support base 1 is roughly horizontal, thus completing the coarse adjustment.
[0030] Then press the two sets of pins 43 towards the center, so that the spring 44 is compressed. Then pull the card plate 41 out from the inside of the bracket 1, so that the card block 42 moves out from the inside of the card slot 26. Then flip the flip plate 21 downward 180 degrees. At this time, insert the card plate 41 back, so that the card block 42 is inserted into the card slot 26 on the other side. At this time, the bottom of the flip plate 21 is facing up and is kept horizontal with the bracket 1. At this time, under the action of gravity, the assembly plate 22 uses the gravity leveling ball 25 to rotate in the ball seat 23, so that the assembly plate 22 is vertically downward. At this time, the surface of the assembly plate 22 is perpendicular to the direction of gravity. Then rotate the adjusting screw 244, so that the adjusting screw 244 pushes the lifting part 243 to move into the ball seat 23, so that the concave pressure block 245 is attached to the surface of the gravity leveling ball 25 to fix the gravity leveling ball 25. At this time, the leveling operation of the assembly plate 22 is completed.
[0031] Then, remove the fastener 4 again, rotate the flip plate 21 180 degrees to reset it so that the mounting plate 22 faces upward. Then, fix the flip plate 21 again with the fastener 4. At this time, the surface of the mounting plate 22 is horizontal. The total station can be directly installed on the mounting plate 22 and the surveying operation can be started immediately, thereby reducing the difficulty and time required for calibration and leveling, and making the multi-point measurement process faster.
[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
