Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of total station technology, specifically a total station with a stabilizing support device. Background Technology
[0002] A total station is a measuring instrument that can simultaneously measure angles (horizontal angles, vertical angles) and distances (slope distances, horizontal distances, elevation differences). It is composed of mechanical, optical, and electronic components. Once set up, the instrument can complete all the measurement work at that station, hence the name total station. A total station requires stable support to prevent shaking during measurement, so a total station with a stable support device is needed.
[0003] The existing patent, CN214037537U, entitled "A Total Station with Stable Support," discloses a total station with stable support, including a total station body and a support plate. A control box is fixedly installed on one side of the total station body, and a horizontal brake screw is fixedly installed on the top of the total station body. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal brake screw. A receiving plate is connected to the bottom of the total station body, and a connecting plate is installed at the bottom of the receiving plate. A connecting part is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate, and a support plate is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting part. A sliding groove is opened at the top of the support plate. This utility model uses through holes to facilitate the placement of the sliding plate and facilitates the movement of the sliding plate, improving the simplicity of support. Through the setting of telescopic plate and sliding ring, when the fastening bolt is loosened, the telescopic plate extends and retracts. When it extends and retracts to the required angle, the fastening bolt is tightened, at which point the support plate is fixed. Through the setting of buckles and sliding grooves, it is easy to limit the telescopic plate, improving the simplicity of support plate.
[0004] The aforementioned device, with its through-hole design, facilitates the placement and movement of the sliding plate, improving the ease of support. However, on wet, slippery, or uneven surfaces, the contact part with the ground lacks effective connection and fixation, making it prone to slipping and failing to meet user needs. To address these issues, technological innovations are being implemented based on existing total stations. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a total station with a stable support device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a total station with a stable support device, comprising a support leg and a telescopic leg. A base is installed above the support leg, and the base and the support leg are rotatably connected. The telescopic leg is mounted on the periphery of the support leg, and a sleeve is rotatably connected to the inner side of the support leg. An inner rod is slidably connected inside the sleeve, and a lifting block is rotatably connected to one end of the inner rod. When it is necessary to adjust the rotation amplitude of a certain support leg, the length of the inner rod in the sleeve can be changed, which facilitates adjustment.
[0007] Furthermore, a lead screw is installed inside the lifting block, and the lead screw is threadedly connected to the lifting block. Rotating the lead screw drives the lifting block to rise and fall, and when the lifting block rises and falls, it pushes the inner rod and the sleeve.
[0008] Furthermore, a fastening knob is installed on the lower outer side of the support leg, and the fastening knob is threadedly connected to the support leg. The fastening knob abuts against the telescopic leg through the support leg, which facilitates fixing the telescopic leg.
[0009] Furthermore, a pointed cone is installed at the lower middle part of the telescopic leg, and the pointed cone is welded to the telescopic leg. The pointed cone is inserted into the ground, which improves the fixing effect.
[0010] Furthermore, baffles are installed on the lower left and right sides of the telescopic leg, and the baffles are rotatably connected to the telescopic leg to prevent the pointed cone from extending excessively into the ground.
[0011] Furthermore, a fixing component is installed on the periphery of the baffle, and the fixing component is embedded in the baffle. The connecting block is nested on the periphery of the baffle, so that the baffle and the cone can be used to fix the baffle when it is not desired.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a connecting block, a ball joint, and a support leg. The ball joint is installed below the connecting block, and the support leg is installed below the ball joint. The support leg automatically adapts to the ground by rotating through the ball joint, thereby increasing the contact area with the ground.
[0013] Furthermore, a rotating seat is rotatably connected above the base, and a total station body is rotatably connected above the rotating seat. The total station body measures by rotating the rotating seat.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the rotating screw drives the lifting block to rise and fall, and when the lifting block rises and falls, it pushes the inner rod and sleeve. The inner rod and sleeve push the support leg to rotate around the base, thereby rotating the support leg synchronously, which is convenient and quick to level. It also stably connects the support legs, making the support more stable. When it is necessary to adjust the rotation amplitude of a certain support leg, the length of the inner rod in the sleeve can be changed, which is easy to adjust. Adjusting the length of the telescopic leg in the support leg allows the telescopic leg to touch the ground, which is convenient to adapt to uneven ground. On a solid ground, the outrigger automatically adapts to the ground through the rotation of the ball joint, increasing the contact area with the ground. When the ground is wet and soft, the connecting block can be removed, the baffle can be rotated open, and the pointed cone can be inserted into the ground. The baffle prevents the pointed cone from extending too far into the ground and provides stable support when the total station body rotates and measures through the rotating seat.
[0015] 1. The present invention uses a rotating screw to drive the lifting block to rise and fall. When the lifting block rises and falls, it pushes the inner rod and the sleeve. The inner rod and the sleeve push the support leg to rotate around the base, thereby rotating the support leg synchronously. This facilitates quick and easy leveling and provides a stable connection between the support legs, resulting in more stable support. When it is necessary to adjust the rotation amplitude of a certain support leg, the length of the inner rod in the sleeve can be changed, making it easy to adjust.
[0016] 2. This utility model adjusts the length of the telescopic leg within the support leg, allowing the telescopic leg to touch the ground, making it easier to adapt to uneven ground. On solid ground, the support leg automatically adapts to the ground through the rotation of the ball joint, increasing the contact area with the ground. When the ground is wet and soft, the connecting block can be removed, the baffle can be rotated open, and the pointed cone can be inserted into the ground. The baffle prevents the pointed cone from extending excessively into the ground, providing stable support when the total station body rotates for measurement via the rotating base.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a total station with a stable support device includes a support leg 1 and a telescopic leg 2. A base 11 is installed above the support leg 1, and the base 11 is rotatably connected to the support leg 1. The support leg 1 is installed on the periphery of the telescopic leg 2, and a sleeve 7 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the support leg 1. An inner rod 8 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 7, and a lifting block 9 is rotatably connected to one end of the inner rod 8. A lead screw 10 is installed inside the lifting block 9, and the lead screw 10 is threadedly connected to the lifting block 9. Rotating the lead screw 10 drives the lifting block 9 to rise and fall. When the lifting block 9 rises and falls, it pushes the inner rod 8 and the sleeve 7. The inner rod 8 and the sleeve 7 push the support leg 1 to rotate around the base 11, thereby synchronously rotating the support leg 1. This facilitates quick and easy leveling and stably connects the support legs 1, making the support more stable. When it is necessary to adjust the rotation amplitude of a certain support leg 1, the length of the inner rod 8 in the sleeve 7 can be changed, making adjustment convenient.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a fastening knob 3 is installed on the lower outer side of the support leg 1, and the fastening knob 3 is threadedly connected to the support leg 1. A pointed cone 5 is installed in the middle of the lower end of the telescopic leg 2, and the pointed cone 5 is welded to the telescopic leg 2. Baffles 4 are installed on the left and right sides of the lower end of the telescopic leg 2, and the baffles 4 are rotatably connected to the telescopic leg 2. A fixing component 6 is installed around the baffles 4, and the fixing component 6 is embeddedly connected to the baffles 4. The fixing component 6 includes a connecting block 601, a ball joint 602, and a foot 603. The ball joint 602 is installed below the connecting block 601, and the foot 603 is installed below the ball joint 602. A rotating seat 12 is rotatably connected above the base 11, and the total station body 13 is rotatably connected above the rotating seat 12. The length of the telescopic leg 2 in the support leg 1 is adjusted so that the telescopic leg 2 touches the ground, making it easy to adapt to uneven ground. When on a solid ground, the support leg 603 automatically adapts to the ground by rotating through the ball joint 602, increasing the contact area with the ground. When the ground is wet and soft, the connecting block 601 is removed, the baffle 4 is rotated open, and the pointed cone 5 is inserted into the ground. The baffle 4 prevents the pointed cone 5 from extending too far into the ground and provides stable support when the total station body 13 rotates and measures through the rotating seat 12.
[0023] Working principle: When using this total station with a stable support device, firstly, rotating the lead screw 10 drives the lifting block 9 to rise and fall. When the lifting block 9 rises and falls, it pushes the inner rod 8 and the sleeve 7. The inner rod 8 and the sleeve 7 push the support leg 1 to rotate around the base 11, thereby synchronously rotating the support leg 1, which facilitates quick leveling and stably connects the support legs 1, making the support more stable. When it is necessary to adjust the rotation amplitude of a certain support leg 1, the length of the inner rod 8 in the sleeve 7 can be changed for easy adjustment. Adjusting the length of the telescopic leg 2 in the support leg 1 allows the telescopic leg 2 to touch the ground, making it easier to adapt to uneven ground. On solid ground, the support leg 603 automatically adapts to the ground by rotating the ball joint 602, increasing the contact area with the ground. When the ground is wet and soft, the connecting block 601 is removed, the baffle 4 is rotated open, and the pointed cone 5 is inserted into the ground. The baffle 4 prevents the pointed cone 5 from extending too far into the ground, providing stable support when the total station body 13 rotates and measures through the rotating seat 12.
