This major cultivates students with fundamental theoretical and technical knowledge in spatial positioning, information science, and computer science. It studies the use of these technologies to determine the shape of the Earth and other celestial bodies, the three-dimensional characteristics of buildings (structures) and their relationship to a specified reference frame, the Earth's gravitational field and its internal physical characteristics, the characteristics of moving objects and their multidimensional parameters, and the basic theories and methods for applying these technologies in engineering, industry, and daily life. Before large-scale engineering projects, surveying engineers must measure and draw topographic maps before decision-making, planning, and design can proceed. During the construction process, various surveying and mapping operations are frequently required to ensure that construction strictly follows the plan. Therefore, engineering surveying instruments and positioning devices play a crucial role throughout the entire construction process. Simply put, surveying instruments are instruments and devices designed and manufactured for data acquisition, processing, and output during surveying operations. They include various instruments used for orientation, distance measurement, angle measurement, height measurement, mapping, and photogrammetry during the planning, design, construction, and management phases of engineering construction.
[0003] When conducting surveying, it is difficult to quickly adjust the instrument to a horizontal position. If the instrument is tilted, it will lead to inaccurate data. It is even more difficult to keep the instrument horizontal when measuring on uneven surfaces.
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to this end, proposes a positioning device for surveying applications. Utility Model Content

During the movement of the lifting rod, the lower end of the gripper is pressed, and the gripper performs a lever motion. That is, the other end of the gripper drives the clamping block to move through the connecting groove to clamp and fix the surveying instrument. At the same time, the worm is rotated by the handle. Since the worm is threadedly connected to the worm wheel, the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate. The worm wheel drives the placement plate to rotate through the support rod. That is, the placement plate drives the surveying instrument to rotate and adjust the surveying direction. This device makes it easy to determine whether the surveying instrument is horizontal, easy to adjust to make the surveying instrument horizontal, and easy to fix the surveying instrument.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-2The adjustment device includes a disc 15 and a worm gear 12. The worm gear 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 1. A handle 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the worm gear 12. The disc 15 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 1. A support rod 2 is provided on one side of the disc 15. A connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the support rod 2. A threaded post 10 is provided on the other end of the connecting plate 3. A placement plate 5 is fixedly connected to the other end of the threaded post 10. Fixing devices are provided on both sides of the placement plate 5. A worm wheel 14 is provided on the cylindrical surface of the support rod 2. The worm wheel 14 meshes with the worm gear 12. By rotating the worm gear 12 through the handle 13, since the worm gear 12 and the worm wheel 14 are threadedly connected, the worm gear 12 drives the worm wheel 14 to rotate. The worm wheel 14 then drives the placement plate 5 to rotate through the support rod 2. That is, the placement plate 5 drives the surveying instrument to rotate and adjust the surveying direction.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 The fixing device includes a gripper 8, a clamping block 6, a rotating ring 4, and a lifting rod 9. The gripper 8 is rotatably connected to the placement plate 5. A connecting groove 7 is provided on one side of the gripper 8. The clamping block 6 is slidably connected to the placement plate 5. One end of the clamping block 6 extends into the connecting groove 7 and slides in contact with the gripper 8. The rotating ring 4 is sleeved on the cylindrical surface of the threaded column 10 and is threadedly connected to the threaded column 10. One end of the lifting rod 9 extends into the rotating ring 4 and slides in contact with the rotating ring 4. The other end of the lifting rod 9 slides in contact with the gripper 8. By rotating the rotating ring 4, the rotating ring 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded column 10. That is, when the rotating ring 4 rotates, it moves vertically. The rotating ring 4 drives the lifting rod 9 to move vertically. During the movement of the lifting rod 9, it squeezes the lower end of the gripper 8, and the gripper 8 performs lever movement. That is, the other end of the gripper 8 drives the clamping block 6 to move through the connecting groove 7 to clamp and fix the surveying instrument.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-2 The horizontal positioning device is a hollow cylinder 19. Several fixed rods 16 are fixedly connected to the cylindrical surface of the hollow cylinder 19. The other end of the fixed rods 16 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1. Each of the fixed rods 16 is fixedly connected to a suspension rope 17. The other end of the suspension rope 17 is fixedly connected to a metal ball 18. The metal ball 18 cooperates with the hollow cylinder 19. The device is horizontal because the metal ball 18 cooperates with the hollow cylinder 19. When the device is horizontal, the metal ball 18 and the suspension rope 17 fall vertically. When the device is tilted, the metal ball 18 hits the hollow cylinder 19, causing the hollow cylinder 19 to emit a sound to remind the surveyors.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The main body of the support includes a support leg 21. A telescopic rod 11 is slidably connected to one side of the support leg 21. The other end of the telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1. A fixing bolt 20 is provided on one side of the support leg 21. The fixing bolt 20 is used to connect the support leg 21 and the telescopic rod 11. A pad 22 is threadedly connected to the other end of the support leg 21. By rotating the pad 22, since the pad 22 is threadedly connected to the support leg 21, the pad 22 moves vertically when it rotates, and the height can be finely adjusted until the metal ball 18 and the suspension rope 17 fall vertically.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the device is in use, the metal ball 18 and the hollow cylinder 19 work together to determine whether the device is in a horizontal state. When the device is horizontal, the metal ball 18 and the suspension rope 17 fall vertically. When the device is tilted, the metal ball 18 hits the hollow cylinder 19, causing the hollow cylinder 19 to emit a sound to alert the surveyors. Then, by rotating the pad 22, which is threadedly connected to the support leg 21, the pad 22 moves vertically when rotating, allowing for fine-tuning of the height until the metal ball 18 and the suspension rope 17 fall vertically. Then, by rotating the rotating ring 4, which is threadedly connected to the threaded post 10, the rotating ring 4 moves vertically when rotating. The vertical movement of the rotating ring 4 causes the lifting rod 9 to move vertically. During the movement of the lifting rod 9, the lower end of the gripper 8 is squeezed, and the gripper 8 performs a lever motion. That is, the other end of the gripper 8 drives the clamping block 6 to move through the connecting groove 7 to clamp and fix the surveying instrument. At the same time, the worm gear 12 is rotated by the handle 13. Since the worm gear 12 is threadedly connected to the worm wheel 14, the worm gear 12 drives the worm wheel 14 to rotate. The worm wheel 14 drives the placement plate 5 to rotate through the support rod 2. That is, the placement plate 5 drives the surveying instrument to rotate and adjust the surveying direction. This device is convenient for determining whether the surveying instrument is horizontal, and it is also convenient for adjusting the surveying instrument to be horizontal and for fixing the surveying instrument.
