Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of total station technology, specifically to an automatic lifting mechanism for a robotic total station. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern engineering surveying, robotic total stations are widely used due to their efficient and accurate measurement capabilities. However, the automatic lifting mechanism of current robotic total stations has significant shortcomings.
[0003] When the instrument is raised, its center of gravity also shifts upward, which can easily lead to instability such as swaying and tilting during the lifting and lowering process. This instability not only reduces measurement accuracy and affects data reliability, but may also increase the safety risks of the instrument in complex environments, thus limiting its application in high-precision measurement scenarios.
[0004] Therefore, an automatic lifting mechanism for a robotic total station is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic lifting mechanism for a robotic total station in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An automatic lifting mechanism for a robotic total station includes a housing and a total station body. The surface of the housing is provided with a support component for supporting the device. The interior of the housing is provided with a drive component. A support frame component and a counterweight component are movably connected to the top and bottom of the housing, so that the support frame component and the counterweight component can be driven by the drive component to extend and retract within the housing. When the support frame component and the total station body are raised, the counterweight component descends vertically.
[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a first sliding sleeve and a second sliding sleeve that are slidably sleeved on the surface of the housing. The surface of the first sliding sleeve is hingedly fitted with a support leg, and the surfaces of the second sliding sleeve and the support leg are hingedly fitted with a connecting rod. A fixing knob is threaded into the surface of the first sliding sleeve for fixing the first sliding sleeve to the surface of the housing.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor mounting bracket fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing, a dual-axis motor fixedly installed in the motor mounting bracket, threaded rods fixedly installed on both output ends of the dual-axis motor via couplings, and a storage battery fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing.
[0010] Furthermore, the support frame assembly includes a first movable rod that is movably inserted into the top of the housing. A turntable is rotatably mounted on the top of the first movable rod, and a U-shaped frame is fixedly mounted on the turntable. The total station body is installed inside the U-shaped frame, and the first movable rod is threadedly inserted into a threaded rod located on the upper side.
[0011] Furthermore, the counterweight assembly includes a second movable rod that is movably inserted into the bottom end of the housing. A threaded column is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the second movable rod, and the counterweight block is threadedly sleeved on the surface of the threaded column. The second movable rod is threadedly inserted into the threaded rod located on the lower side.
[0012] Furthermore, semi-circular guide strips are provided on both inner walls of the housing, and grooves are provided on both sides of the first and second movable rods, with the semi-circular guide strips located in the grooves.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The support frame assembly and counterweight assembly are driven to extend and retract within the housing by the drive component inside the housing. When the support frame assembly raises the total station body, its counterweight assembly descends vertically in sync. This achieves dynamic adjustment of the overall center of gravity of the total station body during vertical lifting and lowering, effectively avoiding instability caused by the upward shift of the center of gravity due to the raising of the total station body, ensuring a smooth lifting and lowering process, and improving measurement accuracy and safety.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic lifting mechanism for a robotic total station includes a housing 1 and a total station body 7. A support assembly 2 is provided on the surface of the housing 1 for supporting and placing the total station. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the support assembly 2 includes a first sliding sleeve 201 and a second sliding sleeve 204 that are slidably sleeved on the surface of the housing 1. A support leg 203 is hingedly mounted on the surface of the first sliding sleeve 201. A connecting rod 205 is hingedly mounted on the surfaces of the second sliding sleeve 204 and the support leg 203. A fixing knob 202 is threaded into the surface of the first sliding sleeve 201 for fixing the first sliding sleeve 201 to the surface of the housing 1.
[0026] More specifically, by adjusting the fixing knob 202, the first sliding sleeve 201 can be fixed to a specific position on the housing 1 after the support leg 203 is unfolded, providing stable support for it.
[0027] The housing 1 contains a drive assembly 4; such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the drive assembly 4 includes a motor mounting bracket 401 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. A dual-axis motor 402 is fixedly installed inside the motor mounting bracket 401. Both output ends of the dual-axis motor 402 are fixedly mounted with threaded rods 403 via couplings, and a storage battery 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0028] More specifically, the dual-axis motor 402 drives the two threaded rods 403 to rotate synchronously, so that the rotational motion provides power for the telescopic movement of the support frame assembly 5 and the counterweight assembly 6.
[0029] A support frame assembly 5 and a counterweight assembly 6 are movably connected to the top and bottom of the housing 1, respectively, so that the support frame assembly 5 and the counterweight assembly 6 can be driven by the drive assembly 4 to extend and retract within the housing 1. When the support frame assembly 5 and the total station body 7 are raised, the counterweight assembly 6 descends vertically. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the support frame assembly 5 includes a first movable rod 501 that is movably inserted into the top of the housing 1. A turntable 502 is rotatably mounted on the top of the first movable rod 501. A U-shaped frame 503 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 502. The total station body 7 is installed inside the U-shaped frame 503. The first movable rod 501 is threadedly inserted into the threaded rod 403 located on the upper side.
[0030] More specifically, when the threaded rod 403 rotates, the first movable rod 501 rises and falls accordingly, causing the total station body 7 to change its height. This threaded transmission method can accurately convert rotational motion into linear motion, enabling precise height adjustment of the total station body 7.
[0031] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the counterweight assembly 6 includes a second movable rod 601 that is movably inserted into the bottom end of the housing 1. A threaded post 602 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the second movable rod 601, and the counterweight block 603 is threadedly sleeved on the surface of the threaded post 602. The second movable rod 601 is threadedly inserted into the threaded rod 403 located on the lower side.
[0032] More specifically, the second movable rod 601 is driven to move vertically inside the housing 1 by rotating the threaded rod 403. When the support frame assembly 5 drives the total station body 7 to move vertically upward, its second movable rod 601 and counterweight 603 move vertically downward, increasing the weight at the bottom and enhancing the stability during and after the lifting process.
[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, semi-circular guide strips are provided on both inner walls of the housing 1, and grooves are provided on both sides of the first movable rod 501 and the second movable rod 601, with the semi-circular guide strips located in the grooves.
[0034] More specifically, a semi-circular guide bar is positioned in the groove to guide and limit the movement of the first movable rod 501 and the second movable rod 601 inside the housing 1.
[0035] In summary: By unfolding the support assembly 2, the housing 1 and the total station body 7 are supported. The drive assembly 4 inside the housing 1 drives the support frame assembly 5 and the counterweight assembly 6 to extend and retract within the housing 1. When the support frame assembly 5 raises the total station body 7, its counterweight assembly 6 lowers vertically in sync. This achieves dynamic adjustment of the overall center of gravity of the total station body 7 during vertical lifting and lowering, effectively avoiding instability caused by the upward shift of the center of gravity due to the raising of the total station body 7, ensuring a smooth lifting and lowering process, and improving measurement accuracy and safety.
[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
