[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of an easily adjustable surveying tripod, comprising a mounting platform 1, a base column 10 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting platform 1, a sliding ring 7 slidably connected to the outer wall of the base column 10, a connecting piece 6 rotatably connected to the bottom end of a sliding rod 5, a sliding ring 7 rotatably connected to the top end of the connecting piece 6, rotating rings 8 corresponding to the upper and lower sides of the sliding ring 7, the inner wall of the rotating ring 8 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the base column 10, the rotating ring 8 used to restrict the sliding ring 7, a locking piece 9 corresponding to the bottom of the rotating ring 8, the top end of the locking piece 9 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base column 10, a connecting piece 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting platform 1, and a connecting piece 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting piece 2. A fixed column 3 is rotatably connected to a rotating frame 4 on its outer wall. A sliding rod 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 4. A locking assembly 16 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding rod 5. The locking assembly 16 is used to fix the sliding rod 5. The locking assembly 16 includes a round tube 13 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding rod 5. A spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the round tube 13. A slide groove 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spring 15. A slider 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide groove 14. A round groove 11 is opened on the outer wall of the rotating frame 4. The size of the round groove 11 is adapted to the slider 12. The slide groove 14 is opened on the inner wall of the rotating frame 4. The slide groove 14 is used to allow the slider 12 to slide in the rotating frame 4.

[0023] Specifically, the user takes the surveying tripod from the carrying bag and places it at the predetermined measurement position. Then, according to the specific height requirements of the measurement task, the user holds one leg of the tripod with one hand and presses the slider 12 on the side of that leg with the other hand. By applying appropriate force, the slider 12 moves inward along its movement path, causing the groove 14 on the outer wall of the slider 12 to move accordingly. As the groove 14 moves, it begins to align with and compress the spring 15 located on the inner wall of the circular tube 13. After being compressed, the spring 15 continuously contracts within the inner wall of the circular tube 13, ensuring that the slider 12 is fully pressed into the interior of the rotating frame 4. The above steps are then repeated for the other two legs of the tripod. The user then holds the two rotating rings 8 with both hands and rotates them in opposite directions. This releases the rotating rings 8 from the sliding ring 7, allowing the sliding ring 7 to move freely on the sliding rod 5. The user then moves the sliding ring 7 freely along the sliding rod 5 as needed, either downward or upward. The sliding ring 7 is connected to the sliding rod 5 via the connector 6. Therefore, the movement of the sliding ring 7 will cause the sliding rod 5 to slide up and down within the groove 14 on the rotating frame 4. When the sliding rod 5 reaches the desired height, the user aligns the slider 12 with the corresponding circular groove 11 on the rotating frame 4, causing the spring 15 to return to its original position and push the slider 12 out of the circular groove 11, thus fixing the sliding rod 5. The user can then open the sliding rod 5, allowing the rotating frame 4 to rotate on the fixed column 3. Simultaneously, the sliding rod 5, through the connector 6, pulls the sliding ring 7 to a suitable angle to adapt to the inclination or unevenness of the ground. Finally, the user rotates the rotating ring 8 again to re-lock the upper and lower sides of the sliding ring 7, ensuring the tripod is stable at the new height and angle. The user can then fix the measuring instrument on the mounting platform 1 and perform precise measurements. This structure not only provides flexible adjustment of height and angle but also ensures stability and accuracy during the measurement process, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of surveying work.

[0024] Working principle: First, the user takes out the device and then, according to the required height, presses one side of the slider 12, causing it to move inward. This movement of the slider 12 causes the groove 14 on its outer wall to move as well, compressing the spring 15 and causing it to contract within the inner wall of the tube 13. After confirming that the slider 12 is pressed into the rotating frame 4, the same operation is performed on the other two sliders 12. Then, the two rotating rings 8 are rotated in opposite directions, releasing the locking rings 7. The device can then be used to... Slide the slip ring 7 up or down, so that the slip ring 7 slides down with the sliding rod 5 through the connector 6, so that the slider 12 on the sliding rod 5 slides in the groove 14 opened on the rotating frame 4. After sliding to a suitable height, align the slider 12 with the corresponding circular groove 11. Then, the spring 15 returns to its original position and pushes the slider 12 out of the circular groove 11, locking the sliding rod 5. Then, open the sliding rod 5 so that the rotating frame 4 rotates on the fixed column 3. At the same time, the sliding rod 5 pulls the slip ring 7 to a suitable angle through the connector 6. Then, rotate the rotating ring 8 so that the two rotating rings 8 lock the upper and lower sides of the slip ring 7 again. Then, the measuring instrument can be fixed on the mounting table 1 for measurement.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
