Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support technology, specifically a foldable support for surveying. Background Technology
[0002] Surveying and mapping technology involves multiple fields such as computer technology, optoelectronic technology, network communication technology, space science, and information science. With global navigation satellite positioning system, remote sensing, and geographic information system as the core technologies, surveying and mapping supports are needed to assist surveying instruments in measurement work during actual engineering surveying and mapping processes. Some surveying and mapping supports need to be easy to carry and disassemble.
[0003] Existing foldable supports for surveying are mostly telescopic pole devices. Although they are convenient to use, they require special storage bags after being folded up, making them inconvenient to carry and fold. Therefore, we propose a foldable support for surveying. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable support for surveying, including a storage cylinder 1 and a cylinder cover 12. A threaded section 5 is provided on the outer side of the storage cylinder 1. A fixing ring 4 is slidably connected to the outer side of the storage cylinder 1, and the fixing ring 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded section 5. A movable disk 6 is slidably connected inside the storage cylinder 1, and the movable disk 6 is used to store the device. Three limiting blocks 601 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable disk 6, and the limiting blocks 601 are used for limiting. Three sliding grooves 101 are provided on the outer side of the storage cylinder 1, and the three sliding grooves 101 are slidably connected to the three limiting blocks 601. One end of 1 extends into a groove 101, so when the fixed ring 4 located above moves downward, it can restrict the limiting block 601. The bottom of the moving disk 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 7. Three rotating mounting brackets 701 are fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting block 7. Rotating columns 8 are rotatably connected inside the three rotating mounting brackets 701. Telescopic outer tubes 9 are fixedly connected to the outside of the three rotating columns 8. Telescopic inner tubes 11 are slidably connected inside the telescopic outer tubes 9. A fixing button 10 is threadedly connected to the outside of the telescopic outer tubes 9. The fixing button 10 is used to fix the length of the telescopic inner tube 11 inside the telescopic outer tubes 9.
[0025] like Figure 7As shown, a sliding rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of mounting block 17. A locking button 14 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod 13. The locking button 14 is used to fix mounting block 2 15. A thread 2 131 is opened on the outside of the sliding rod 13. A limit plate 132 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the sliding rod 13. The limit plate 132 is used for limiting. Mounting block 2 15 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod 13. Three rotating mounting brackets 2 151 are fixedly installed on the outside of mounting block 2 15. A support rod 16 is rotatably connected inside each of the three rotating mounting brackets 2 151. The support rod 16 is used to support the three telescopic outer tubes 9 and the three telescopic inner tubes 11. The other end of the support rod 16 is rotatably connected to the telescopic outer tube 9.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a mounting frame 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the storage tube 1, and a mounting screw 3 is threadedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 2. The mounting screw 3 is used to install the surveying instrument. A handle 17 is rotatably connected to the outside of the mounting frame 2. The handle 17 is used to facilitate the movement of this device.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a shim 201 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting frame 2. The shim 201 is used to prevent the surveying instrument from sliding, and the shim 201 is located outside the mounting screw 3.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a ball 111 is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic inner tube 11. The ball 111 is used to rotate the support base 112. The support base 112 is rotatably connected to the outside of the ball 111. The support base 112 is used to support the device.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder cover 12 is threadedly connected to thread 5.
[0030] In summary, this foldable surveying bracket allows the operator to move the device to the testing position using the handle 17. The operator then unscrews the cap 12 and slides the movable disc 6 within the storage cylinder 1, allowing the telescopic outer tube 9 and telescopic inner tube 11 to slide out. The three limit blocks 601 are then secured using the engagement of the fixing ring 4 and thread 5, thus fixing the movable disc 6. The length of the telescopic inner tube 11 pulled out within the telescopic outer tube 9 is adjusted using the fixing button 10, and then fixed using the fixing button 10. For stability, the locking button 14 engages with thread 131, allowing the support rod 16 to support the device. Once the device is secured, the surveying instrument (Chang Sheng) can be placed inside. The measuring instrument (Chang Shengde CSD-SZY1) is installed on this device via mounting screw 3, allowing for surveying. When the device needs to be folded and stored after use, first remove the measuring instrument (Chang Shengde CSD-SZY1) from this device. Then, loosen the locking button 14, fixing button 10, and fixing ring 4 respectively. Retract the telescopic inner tube 11 into the telescopic outer tube 9. Then, slide the mounting block 2 15 upwards. Then, the moving disc 6 can be moved upwards, allowing the telescopic outer tube 9 and telescopic inner tube 11 to be retracted into the storage tube 1. Finally, by using the cooperation of the tube cover 12 and the thread 1 5, the device can be completely stored. Then, the operator can move the device by holding the handle 17. The above is the working principle of this utility model.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
