Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tripod technology, specifically relating to a stable support tripod for all-around surveying instruments. Background Technology
[0002] Tripods are widely used in engineering surveying, topographic surveying, building construction, geological exploration and other fields. Tripods are not only used for routine surveying work, but can also provide support in extreme terrain. In addition, tripods are also suitable for photography, astronomical observation and other activities that require stable equipment. A tripod is a key surveying tool that provides stable support for surveying instruments. Its design emphasizes stability, portability and durability.
[0003] However, in implementing the relevant technologies, the following problems were found with the above-mentioned technical solutions: Most existing tripods are used on flat ground and only require minor manual adjustments to the tripod's balance. However, when used on slopes, the three supporting legs of the tripod need to be manually adjusted back and forth. Furthermore, most existing tripods do not have automatic balancing devices, which makes measurement very troublesome and increases the difficulty of measurement.
[0004] Therefore, a tripod with stable support for all-around surveying instruments is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention proposes a tripod for stable support of surveying instruments in all directions, which solves the problem in related technologies where the three supporting legs of the tripod need to be manually adjusted back and forth when using a tripod on a slope.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a tripod for stable support of an all-around surveying instrument, comprising: a support platform and a support rod 2;
[0007] A water storage box is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support platform. A pressure detector is fixedly installed on the top surface inside the water storage box. A fixing plate is fixedly installed inside the support platform. A PCL processor is fixedly installed inside the fixing plate.
[0008] The support rod 2 has a sliding rod inside, and a movable block is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the sliding rod. A motor is fixedly installed inside the movable block, and a lead screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. The lead screw is threaded inside the support rod 2.
[0009] Preferably, a support column is rotatably mounted on the top of the support platform, and a fixing frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support column. A threaded rod is installed inside the fixing frame 2, and a clamping plate is rotatably mounted on one end of the threaded rod.
[0010] Preferably, a fixing member is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support platform, a first locking member is fixedly installed at the top of the support rod 2, a second locking member is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable block, and a foot nail is rotatably installed on the outside of the second locking member.
[0011] Preferably, a connector is fixedly installed on one side of the support rod 2, and a connecting rope 2 is threaded through the inside of the connector.
[0012] Preferably, the water storage box contains clean water, but the inside of the water storage box is not completely filled with clean water and contains air bubbles.
[0013] Preferably, there are three fasteners, and the three fasteners are installed in a circular array at the bottom of the support platform.
[0014] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The pressure detector can detect whether the air bubbles inside the water storage box are located in the center position, thereby determining whether the support platform is horizontal. The PCL processor can calculate the position of the air bubbles in real time. Then, the height of each leg of the tripod is changed by the motor and the lead screw to adjust the support platform and make the support platform horizontal. By rotating the clamping plate and installing it on one end of the threaded rod, the clamping plate can fix the surveying instrument to the fixing frame when the threaded rod is rotated, preventing the surveying instrument from slipping during surveying. By rotating the foot nails and installing them on the outside of the second clamp, the foot nails can increase the tripod's grip when they are driven into the ground, preventing the tripod from slipping when it is fixed. By threading the connecting rope 2 inside the connector, the connector and the connecting rope 2 can limit the outward expansion angle of the support rod 2, thereby enabling the tripod to be supported.

[0021] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] Implementation
[0023] Please see Figure 1 -4. A tripod for stable support of all-around surveying instruments, including: support platform 1 and support rod 2;
[0024] A water storage box 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support platform 1. A pressure detector 4 is fixedly installed on the top surface inside the water storage box 3. A fixing plate 5 is fixedly installed inside the support platform 1. A PCL processor 6 is fixedly installed inside the fixing plate 5.
[0025] The support rod 2 has a sliding rod 7 inside, and a movable block 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the sliding rod 7. A motor 9 is fixedly installed inside the movable block 8, and a lead screw 10 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 9. The lead screw 10 is threaded inside the support rod 2.
[0026] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows: When in use, first unfold the three legs of the tripod, then limit the unfolding angle of the three legs by connecting piece 19 and connecting rope 20, then insert foot nails 18 into the bottom surface to support the tripod, then fix the surveying instrument inside the fixed frame 12 by threaded rod 13 and clamping plate 14, then detect whether the air bubbles inside the water storage box 3 are in the center position by pressure detector 4, then calculate how to start motor 9 to rotate screw 10 to make the support platform 1 horizontal by PCL processor 6, then start motor 9 to rotate screw 10 by PCL processor 6 to make slide rod 7 slide inside support rod 2, thereby changing the distance between support rod 2 and movable block 8, thereby changing the length of support leg, thereby changing the angle of support platform 1, so that support platform 1 is horizontal.
[0027] Furthermore, a support column 11 is rotatably mounted on the top of the support platform 1, a fixing frame 12 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support column 11, a threaded rod 13 is installed on the internal thread of the fixing frame 12, and a clamping plate 14 is rotatably mounted on one end of the threaded rod 13.
[0028] Specifically, by rotating the clamping plate 14 to one end of the threaded rod 13, the clamping plate 14 can be fixed to the fixed frame 12 when the threaded rod 13 is rotated, thus preventing the surveying instrument from slipping during surveying.
[0029] Furthermore, a fastener 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support platform 1, a first clip 16 is fixedly installed at the top of the support rod 2, a second clip 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable block 8, and a foot nail 18 is rotatably installed on the outside of the second clip 17.
[0030] Specifically, by rotating the foot spikes 18 to the outside of the second clip 17, the tripod's grip can be increased when the foot spikes 18 are driven into the ground, preventing the tripod from slipping when it is fixed.
[0031] Furthermore, a connector 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the support rod 2, and a connecting rope 20 is threaded through the inside of the connector 19.
[0032] Specifically, by threading the connecting rope 20 inside the connector 19, the connector 19 and the connecting rope 20 can limit the outward expansion angle of the support rod 2, thereby enabling the tripod to be supported.
[0033] Furthermore, the water storage box 3 contains clean water, but it is not completely filled with water and contains air bubbles.
[0034] Specifically, by not filling the water storage box 3 completely with clean water, leaving air bubbles inside the water storage box 3, the pressure at the location of the air bubbles is different from that at other locations in the water storage box 3. This allows the pressure detector 4 to detect whether the air bubbles are in the center position, thereby determining whether the support platform 1 is level, and then adjusting the support platform 1 accordingly.
[0035] Furthermore, there are three fasteners 15, and the three fasteners 15 are installed in a circular array at the bottom of the support platform 1.
[0036] Specifically, by installing the three fasteners 15 in a circular array at the bottom of the support platform 1, the stability of the support platform 1 can be increased.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
