Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to a centering device for a total station suspended on a tunnel sidewall. Background Technology

[0002] When constructing a new tunnel under or over an existing operational tunnel, deformation monitoring of the operational tunnel is required. Measurements such as arch settlement and tunnel convergence are typically calculated by measuring the coordinates of monitoring points using a total station. These projects demand extremely high measurement accuracy and monitoring frequency: the space inside the tunnel is narrow on both sides, and there is heavy traffic, so a total station needs to be fixed high on the tunnel's inner sidewall for long-term monitoring. Currently, a common method is to install a centering device on the tunnel sidewall and mount the total station on the centering device to achieve this.

[0003] To ensure the accuracy and reliability of total station measurement results, it is necessary to ensure that the total station is level on the centering device and that the center of the total station's field of view is aligned with the target area. Currently, the centering device is usually manufactured and installed based on pre-obtained design parameters of the tunnel. However, when the sidewall structure of the tunnel used to install the centering device is complex, such as when the sidewall at a high point in the tunnel tilts inward, the centering device may have positional or angular deviations after installation, making it difficult to ensure that the total station is in a suitable position. In such cases, it is necessary to remove the centering device, adjust its position, and then reinstall it, which is quite difficult. Therefore, a tunnel sidewall-suspended total station centering device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
