[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] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model discloses a tripod for geological exploration, including: a support base 1 for supporting geological exploration instruments, and three retractable legs 2 at the bottom of the support base 1, each leg 2 being provided with an adjustment rod for adjusting the height.
[0023] A hinge seat 3 is provided on the support base 1. A switching block 4 is provided inside the hinge seat 3. Both sides of the switching block 4 are inserted into the hinge seat 3 through hinge shafts 5. A drive device for driving the switching block 4 to rotate is provided on one side of the hinge seat 3.
[0024] Specifically, the drive device includes a guide rail 16, a slider 17 and a throttle 18. The guide rail 16 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the hinge seat 3, the slider 17 is slidably mounted inside the guide rail 16, and the throttle 18 moves through the slider 17. The throttle 18 is connected to the hinge shaft 5 and the screw 12 respectively.
[0025] A cross bar 19 is fixedly installed at one end of the throttle 18. Slots 20 are opened at the ends of the hinge shaft 5 and the screw 12 near the throttle 18. The cross bar 19 can be adapted to the two slots 20 respectively.
[0026] In this embodiment, the throttle 18 is pulled away from the hinge shaft 5, causing the throttle 18 to disengage the cross bar 19 from the slot 20 on the hinge shaft 5. Then, the slider 17 slides along the inner wall of the slide rail, causing the throttle 18 to align with the screw 12. The throttle 18 is then moved toward the screw 12, so that the cross bar 19 on the throttle 18 and the slot 20 on the screw 12 can be fitted and inserted, thus enabling the hinge shaft 5 and the screw 12 to be switched and driven separately by the drive device.
[0027] This utility model also discloses a tripod assembly for geological exploration, including: a locking device set on the hinge seat 3, the locking device being used to lock and fix the switching block 4; each side of the switching block 4 is provided with a mounting seat 6 through a mounting device, and each mounting seat 6 is adapted to geological exploration instruments of different specifications.
[0028] Specifically, the locking device includes a fixed gear 7, a toothed insert rod 8, a guide sleeve 9, and a locking spring 10. The fixed gear 7 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the hinge shaft 5. The guide sleeve 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the hinge seat 3. The toothed insert rod 8 is L-shaped. One end of the toothed insert rod 8 is adapted to pass through the guide sleeve 9 and mesh with the fixed gear 7. The other end of the toothed insert rod 8 passes through the hinge seat 3 through a strip groove. The locking spring 10 is installed in the strip groove. The two ends of the locking spring 10 are fixedly connected to the toothed insert rod 8 and the strip groove, respectively.
[0029] In this embodiment, the toothed insert 8 is pulled downward along the guide sleeve 9, so that the teeth at the end of the toothed insert 8 disengage from the fixed gear 7 on the hinge shaft 5. At the same time, the locking spring 10 is pulled to stretch elastically, thereby unlocking the hinge shaft 5. Under the reset of the locking spring 10, the toothed insert 8 is reset to the point where its end teeth mesh with the fixed gear 7, thereby locking and fixing the switching block 4.
[0030] Specifically, a fastening protrusion 11 is fixedly provided on the surface of the toothed insert 8. The fastening protrusion 11 is arc-shaped and fits tightly against the inner wall of the guide sleeve 9.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the toothed insert 8 is engaged with the fixed gear 7, the toothed insert 8 drives the fastening protrusion 11 on its surface to press against the inner wall of the guide sleeve 9, so that the fastening protrusion 11 and the inner wall of the guide sleeve 9 are tightly fitted, thereby further fastening and fixing the toothed insert 8.
[0032] Specifically, the installation device includes a screw 12, a fixing block 13, and an adapter 14. The surface of the switching block 4 is provided with a placement groove 15. One end of the screw 12 is inserted into the placement groove 15 and is connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 15 through a bearing. The other end of the screw 12 can be connected to the drive device. The fixing block 13 is shaped like a screw, and one end of the fixing block 13 is threaded onto the surface of the screw 12 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 15. The adapter 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting base 6 and is inserted into the placement groove 15. The other end of the fixing block 13 is fitted and inserted into the adapter 14.
[0033] In this embodiment, the adapter 14 on the mounting base 6 is inserted into the placement groove 15. The drive device rotates the handle 18, which drives the screw 12 to rotate through the cross rod 19. The screw 12 drives the fixing block 13 to move along the inner side wall of the placement groove 15 through the thread, so that the fixing block 13 and the adapter 14 can be fitted and inserted, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the mounting base 6.
[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the mounting base 6 of the geological exploration instrument to be used is installed on multiple surfaces of the switching block 4. During installation, the adapter 14 on the mounting base 6 is inserted into the placement groove 15. Then, the handle 18 is pulled away from the hinge shaft 5, so that the handle 18 drives the cross rod 19 to disengage from the slot 20 on the hinge shaft 5. Then, the slider 17 slides along the inner wall of the guide rail 16, so that the handle 18 is aligned with the screw 12. The handle 18 is moved towards the screw 12, so that the cross rod 19 on the handle 18 is fitted and inserted into the slot 20 on the screw 12. Then, the handle 18 is rotated, and the handle 18 drives the screw 12 to rotate through the cross rod 19. The screw 12 drives the fixing block 13 to move along the inner wall of the placement groove 15 through the thread, so that the fixing block 13 is fitted and inserted into the adapter 14, thereby fixing the mounting base 6.
[0035] When different types of instruments are required, locate the mounting base 6 that matches the switching block 4. Then, adjust the cross bar 19 at the end of the throttle 18 to fit into the slot 20 on the hinge shaft 5 as described above. Next, pull the toothed rod 8 down along the guide sleeve 9 to disengage the teeth at the end of the toothed rod 8 from the fixed gear 7 on the hinge shaft 5, thereby unlocking the hinge shaft 5. Then, rotate the throttle 18, which drives the hinge shaft to rotate via the cross bar 19. At the same time, the hinge base 3 drives the switching block 4 to rotate, so that the required mounting base 6 is rotated to the position of use, thereby achieving the switching of the installation method. Finally, reset the toothed rod 8 so that its end teeth mesh with the fixed gear 7, thereby locking and fixing the switching block 4.
