[0040] Example 1
[0041] like Figures 1-4This embodiment provides a surveying instrument bracket, including telescopic legs 1, a connecting seat 5, an angle adjustment component, a central column 6, and a mounting platform 7. At least three telescopic legs 1 are distributed around the bottom circumference of the connecting seat 5. Each telescopic leg 1 corresponds to one of the angle adjustment components, and the telescopic legs 1 are connected to the connecting seat 5 via the angle adjustment components. The telescopic legs 1 can be multi-section telescopic rods, such as two-section or three-section telescopic rods, and their telescopic function is achieved through the relative pulling of each section. The angle adjustment component can adjust and lock the opening angle of the telescopic legs 1. The connecting seat 5 has a mounting hole along the vertical direction, in which the central column 6 is installed, and the mounting platform 7 is installed on top of the central column 6.
[0042] The extension angle of the telescopic leg 1 can be freely adjusted by the angle adjustment component, and the telescopic leg 1 and the connecting seat 5 can be automatically locked after adjustment, thereby achieving quick assembly. It is convenient to make free adjustments according to different work scenarios and needs, allowing surveyors to adapt to various shooting conditions and improve work efficiency. After use, the telescopic leg 1 can be retracted, and the bracket can be quickly disassembled and folded, making it easier to carry and store, reducing the burden and making it convenient to carry, improving work efficiency and ease of use.
[0043] Specifically, the angle adjustment assembly includes a spiral lock 3, a quick-tightening bolt 4, and two connecting plates 8. The spiral lock 3 includes an integral sleeve 301 and a threaded connecting plate 302. The bottom end of the sleeve 301 is open, and the top end of the sleeve 301 is closed and integrally connected to the threaded connecting plate 302. In actual installation, the sleeve 301 is fitted onto the top end of the telescopic leg 1 from its bottom opening, and the sleeve 301 and the telescopic leg 1 are interference-fitted to achieve fixation; or, the sleeve 301 and the telescopic leg 1 are fixedly connected by welding or bolting.
[0044] Preferably, the sleeve 301 is interference-fitted with the top of the telescopic rod. The sleeve 301 is fitted onto the top of the telescopic rod 1 from its bottom opening, initially with a clearance fit. When the sleeve 301 is pressed down further, the sleeve 301 and the top of the telescopic rod 1 are fixed in an interference fit. This fixing method facilitates disassembly. When it is necessary to remove the sleeve 301, it can be loosened and removed by manually twisting the sleeve 301 upwards.
[0045] Two connecting plates 8 are arranged parallel to each other at the bottom of the connecting seat 5. The two connecting plates 8 form a group, each corresponding to a quick-tightening bolt 4 and a spiral lock 3. Each connecting plate 8 has a first threaded hole matching the quick-tightening bolt 4, and the two first threaded holes are coaxially arranged. During installation, the threaded connecting plate 302 is located between the two connecting plates 8, and the threaded connecting plate 302 has a second threaded hole matching the quick-tightening bolt 4. The first and second threaded holes have the same diameter and the same thread, differing only in their depth, which depends primarily on whether the thicknesses of the threaded connecting plate 302 and the connecting plate 8 are the same. The quick-tightening bolt 4 is sequentially inserted through the first threaded hole, the second threaded hole, and the second first threaded hole, and is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 8 and the threaded connecting plate 302, respectively. A nut 9 can also be provided on the threaded shaft of the quick-tightening bolt 4, and the quick-tightening bolt 4 can be controlled to be in a loose or tight state by tightening the nut 9.
[0046] Preferably, the connecting seat 5 is circular, the central column 6 is coaxially arranged with the connecting plate 8, and the number of telescopic legs 1 is set to three, with three sets of angle adjustment components correspondingly arranged. The three telescopic legs 1 and the three sets of angle adjustment components are distributed circumferentially around the central axis of the connecting seat 5. When the number of telescopic legs 1 is set to three, the three telescopic legs 1 are of the same model and specifications, and the surveying instrument bracket forms a tripod. The telescopic legs 1 can extend and retract to adapt to different heights and slopes, and the tripod support ensures good stability of the entire bracket on any plane.
[0047] Preferably, the base plate of the mounting platform 7 is circular, coaxially arranged with the connecting seat 5, and the diameter of the base plate is larger than the diameter of the connecting seat 5. The top of the mounting platform 7 is used to mount the surveying instrument body. Multiple threaded mounting holes 701 for mounting the surveying instrument body can be formed on the base plate of the mounting platform 7. A ring-shaped lower enclosure is provided along the lower edge of the base plate, which can completely or partially surround the connecting seat 5 for protection. An upper enclosure can also be provided along the upper edge of the mounting platform 7, with a notch forming an arc shape to facilitate the installation of the surveying instrument body. The upper and lower enclosures can be integrally connected, improving structural strength and facilitating manufacturing.
[0048] Each telescopic leg 1 is further provided with a foot pad 2 at its bottom. The foot pad 2 is made of rubber to prevent slippage, and the bottom of the foot pad 2 has a spherical or arc-shaped structure so that the foot pad 2 can adapt to various ground environments when the telescopic leg 1 is extended to different angles. Preferably, the bottom of the foot pad 2 has a spherical structure to better adapt to changes in the surrounding environment.
[0049] In this embodiment, multiple weight-reducing holes 501 can be provided on the connecting seat 5 to reduce the overall weight and facilitate storage and carrying. Specifically, weight-reducing holes 501 can be provided on the connecting seat 5 between two adjacent sets of connecting plates 8. However, it should be noted that the provision of weight-reducing holes 501 does not affect the installation of the connecting plates 8 and the central column 6, and the multiple weight-reducing holes 501 are circumferentially distributed along the central axis of the connecting seat 5.
[0050] When using this surveying instrument bracket, place it in the designated working position. The telescopic legs 1 can extend and retract to adapt to different heights and slopes. The tripod support ensures excellent stability on any surface. Rubber feet 2 provide stable support to the bottom of the telescopic legs 1, preventing slippage. The quick-tightening bolts 4 work in conjunction with the telescopic legs 1. During surveying work, assemble according to actual needs. Rotating the quick-tightening bolts 4 to a certain position automatically locks the telescopic legs 1 and the connecting seat 5, enabling quick assembly. This allows for flexible adjustments based on different working scenarios and requirements, facilitating surveying... Personnel can adapt to various shooting conditions, improving work efficiency. The support angle of the telescopic leg 1 can be adjusted by the screw lock 3. The surveying instrument body can be installed on the mounting platform 7 for surveying work by cooperating with the telescopic leg 1 and the quick-tightening bolt 4. After use, due to the simple overall structure and easy disassembly of each component, it can be quickly disassembled and folded, making it easier to carry and store. The telescopic leg 1 can also be set as a hollow rod. In addition, the design of the weight reduction hole 501 on the connecting seat 5 and the design of the threaded mounting hole 701 on the mounting platform 7 can reduce the burden and facilitate carrying, improving work efficiency and ease of use.
[0051] Note: This application provides a surveying instrument bracket that is easy to assemble. The bracket is preferably used to install the surveying instrument body, but it is not limited to installing the surveying instrument body. It can also install other suitable instruments, such as photography equipment, wind monitoring equipment, air quality detection equipment, etc.
[0052] Example 2
[0053] This embodiment provides a surveying instrument, which includes a surveying instrument body and the surveying instrument bracket described in Embodiment 1. The surveying instrument body can be mounted on the mounting platform 7 through a plurality of threaded mounting holes 701.
[0054] When using this device, first connect the internal power supply to the electrical equipment. Place the device in the designated working position. The telescopic leg 1 can extend and retract to adapt to different heights and slopes. The tripod support ensures excellent stability on any surface. Rubber feet 2 provide stable support to the bottom of the telescopic leg 1, preventing slippage. The quick-tightening bolt 4 engages with the telescopic leg 1. During surveying work, assemble according to actual needs. When the quick-tightening bolt 4 is rotated to a certain position, the telescopic leg 1 and the connecting seat 5 automatically lock, achieving quick assembly and facilitating adaptation to different work scenarios and requirements. The adjustable design allows surveyors to adapt to various shooting conditions, improving work efficiency. The support angle of the telescopic leg 1 can be adjusted via the screw lock 3. The surveyor body can be mounted on the mounting platform 7 for surveying work by using the quick-tight bolt 4 and the telescopic leg 1. After use, due to the simple overall structure and easy disassembly of each component, it can be quickly disassembled and folded, making it easier to carry and store. The telescopic leg 1 can also be designed as a hollow rod. In addition, the design of the weight reduction hole 501 on the connecting seat 5 and the threaded mounting hole 701 on the mounting platform 7 can reduce the burden and facilitate carrying, improving work efficiency and ease of use.
