Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of engineering surveying, and more specifically, to a prism rod positioning structure. Background Technology
[0002] A prism rod (also known as a centering rod) is an auxiliary tool used in surveying and mapping, often in conjunction with a total station. The main function of the prism rod is to ensure precise alignment and levelness during measurement, thereby improving accuracy.
[0003] During use, the staff will stand in a fixed position holding the prism rod, and then pull the rod out a certain distance from the prism rod. The length pulled out is judged by the scale on the rod. Then, the staff will control the locking device on the prism rod to fix the pulled-out rod, so that the bubble in the bubble level is in the center position, and the prism rod is perpendicular to the ground.
[0004] The fixing mechanism includes a rotating wheel, a screw, and a locking sleeve. The locking sleeve is mounted on the prism rod and has a threaded hole perpendicular to the axis of the prism rod. The screw is threaded into the threaded hole. The rotating wheel is located on the end of the screw facing away from the prism rod. When the rod is pulled outward a certain distance, the operator needs to rotate the rotating wheel in time to make the end of the screw facing away from the rotating wheel press against the outer wall of the rod, thus fixing the rod. In use, the operator needs to pull the rod outward a specified distance. However, when pulling the rod outward, the operator needs to repeatedly check the position between the scale on the rod and the end face of the locking sleeve to determine the specified distance, making it difficult to pull the rod outward in one go. In everyday use, locking sleeves are usually made of plastic. After prolonged use, the fit between the threaded hole and the screw can loosen, and the rod may partially retract into the prism rod, thus failing to effectively fix the rod. Utility Model Content

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 ,
[0032] A positioning structure for a prism rod 1 includes a pull-out rod body 11 inside the prism rod 1. The positioning structure includes a positioning pin 2. Multiple straight holes 111 are spaced apart on the rod body 11, with the center line of each straight hole 111 perpendicular to the center line of the rod body 11. The position of the center line of each straight hole 111 corresponds to the value of a scale formed on the rod body 11. For example, straight holes 111 are spaced 50cm apart. The straight holes 111 can also be directly positioned in frequently used locations to allow the operator to pull the rod body 11 a specified distance in one go. An insertion part 21 is formed on the positioning pin 2, and the insertion part 21 is integrally formed with the positioning pin 2. The insertion part 21 is used to insert into the straight holes 111 along the center line direction, and the center line of the positioning pin 2 coincides with the center line of the straight holes 111. The positioning pin 2 has the same diameter as the straight holes 111. When the insertion part 21 passes through the straight holes 111, the outer wall surface of the positioning pin 2 abuts against the end face of the prism rod 1. The centerline of the straight hole 111 is perpendicular to the centerline of the rod 11. When the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the straight hole 111, its outer wall surface abuts against the end face of the prism rod 1, and the positioning pin 2 coincides with the centerline of the straight hole 111. The radial contact force restricts the displacement of the rod 11, ensuring accurate pull-out length. If the diameter of the positioning pin 2 is smaller than the diameter of the straight hole 111, then after the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the straight hole 111, the outer wall surface of the positioning pin 2 will contact the end face of the prism rod 1, and the rod 11 will be affected by gravity and move towards the ground, that is, retract a small part into the prism rod 1 until the inner wall surface of the straight hole 111 contacts the outer wall surface of the positioning pin 2. This will cause the rod 11 to be pulled outward a distance smaller than the actual distance. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the straight hole 111, the center line position of the positioning pin 2 coincides with the center line position of the straight hole 111. When the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the straight hole 111, the rod 11 will not move towards the ground, so that the distance the rod 11 is pulled outward from the prism rod 1 is more accurate.
[0033] Specifically, the end of the positioning pin 2 opposite to the insertion part 21 is provided with a gripping rod 3 for hand gripping. The gripping rod 3 is rotatably connected to the positioning pin 2. When the gripping rod 3 rotates relative to the positioning pin 2, the center line of the gripping rod 3 is perpendicular to or inclined to the center line of the positioning pin 2. The positioning structure also includes a bolt 4. The insertion part 21 forms a threaded hole 211; the bolt 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 211. When the bolt 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 211, the center line of the bolt 4 is perpendicular to the center line of the positioning pin 2. After the rod body 11 is pulled outwards by a certain distance from the prism rod 1, the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the straight hole 111, which allows the gripping rod 3 to rotate relative to the positioning pin 2, so that the end of the positioning pin 2 with the gripping rod 3 cannot pass through the straight hole 111. Since the locating pin 2 matches the straight hole 111, after the bolt 4 is installed on the threaded hole 211, the bolt 4 can prevent the locating pin 2 from falling out of the straight hole 111. The end of the locating pin 2 with the threaded hole 211 will also be unable to pass through the straight hole 111, thereby fixing the locating pin 2 to the rod body 11. In this embodiment, the gripping rod 3 and the bolt 4 can also be used to assist in fixing the rod body 11 after the fixing mechanism has fixed it, so as to reduce the wear of the threaded hole formed on the locking sleeve.
[0034] Specifically, the positioning structure also includes: a flexible rope 5, a mounting sleeve 6, and a winding drum 7. In this embodiment, the flexible rope 5 is a rope. The mounting sleeve 6 is fixedly mounted on the prism rod 1, and the winding drum 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 6, allowing the winding drum 7 to rotate relative to the mounting sleeve 6. The axis of rotation of the winding drum 7 is perpendicular to the axis of the prism rod 1. The winding drum 7 forms a winding area around the flexible rope 5. One end of the flexible rope 5 is connected to the gripping rod 3, and the other end extends to the winding area and connects to the winding drum 7. The flexible rope 5 connects the gripping rod 3 and the winding drum 7, preventing the loss of small parts such as the positioning pin 2 and bolt 4. The mounting sleeve 6 and the winding drum 7 are integrated onto the prism rod 1, reducing the need to carry additional accessories. In other embodiments, to adapt to the height requirements of different measurement scenarios (such as shortening for low-lying terrain measurement and extending for high-rise building layout), the maximum outward pulling distance of a single rod 1 is insufficient for the use of personnel. Therefore, multiple rods 11 are provided on the prism rod 1, and all multiple rods 11 can be pulled outward. In this embodiment, in order to enable the positioning pin 2 to be inserted into the straight hole 111 furthest from the prism rod 1, a flexible rope 5 and a winding drum 7 are provided, and the flexible rope 5 has a certain length. When multiple rods 11 are pulled outward from the prism rod 1, the positioning pin 2 can be inserted into the straight hole 111 formed on the rod 11. When the prism rod 1 is not in use, the flexible rope 5 can be promptly stored, and the winding drum 7 can also effectively prevent the flexible rope 5 from tangling.
[0035] Specifically, a fixing hole 71 is formed on the winding drum 7; a limiting hole 61 is formed on the mounting sleeve 6. Both the fixing hole 71 and the limiting hole 61 are through holes. The positioning pin 2, the holding rod 3, and the flexible rope 5 pass through the fixing hole 71 and the limiting hole 61 so that the holding rod 3 on the positioning pin 2 is fixed in the fixing hole 71. After use, the positioning pin 2 can pass through the fixing hole 71 and the limiting hole 61, and cooperate with the winding drum 7 to wind the flexible rope 5 to realize the storage and fixation of the positioning pin 2. The specific method is as follows: First, the positioning pin 2 is passed through the fixing hole 71 and the limiting hole 61 in sequence, so that the flexible rope 5 wraps the winding drum 7 and the mounting sleeve 6 together. Then, the positioning pin 2 is passed through the fixing hole 71 again, and one end of the positioning pin 2 with the holding rod 3 is placed in the fixing hole 71. The positioning pin 2 is manually adjusted to rotate relative to the holding rod 3 so that the outer wall surface of the positioning pin 2 can contact the end face on the mounting sleeve 6. This is used to store the positioning pin 2 and the holding rod 3. This fixing method can effectively prevent the winding drum 7 from rotating, so as to prevent the flexible rope 5 from loosening.
[0036] Specifically, the winding drum 7 has a rotating rod 72 for hand gripping at one end away from the mounting sleeve 6.
[0037] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the positioning pin 2 abuts against the end face of the prism rod 1, and when the gripping rod 3 rotates relative to the positioning pin 2, a gap is formed between the gripping rod 3 and the end face of the prism rod 1. If the outer wall surface of the gripping rod 3 could contact the end face of the prism rod 1 (the diameter of the gripping rod 3 is larger than the diameter of the positioning pin 2), it may cause a certain change in the distance that the rod 11 is pulled outward from the prism rod 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the gripping rod 3 rotates relative to the positioning pin 2, a gap is formed between the gripping rod 3 and the end face of the prism rod 1.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Reference Figure 5
[0040] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the positioning structure also includes a connecting rod 8 and a connecting block 9. Connecting blocks 9 are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 8. The connecting blocks 9 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 8. Threaded holes 211 are formed at both ends of the positioning pin 2. An extension is formed on the end of the connecting block 9 opposite to the connecting rod 8, and threads are formed on the extension, which is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 211. The connecting rod 8 and connecting blocks 9 are used to fix the rod body 11 pulled outwards towards the prism rod 1, making operation simple.
[0041] Specifically, the connecting rod 8 is a flexible rod 11. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 8 is made of rubber.
