Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geological exploration technology, and in particular to a tripod for geological exploration. Background Technology

[0002] Geological exploration is a research activity that involves investigating and exploring geology using various means and methods to determine suitable bearing strata, identify foundation types based on the bearing capacity of the bearing strata, and calculate foundation parameters. It is an investigation and research activity that discovers industrially significant mineral deposits during mineral prospecting, provides mineral reserves and geological data necessary for mine construction design to ascertain the quality and quantity of minerals and the technical conditions for mining and utilization, and investigates the geological conditions of rocks, strata, structures, minerals, hydrology, and geomorphology within a specific area. Geological exploration can be further divided into various types of exploration methods, such as gravity exploration, magnetic exploration, electrical exploration, seismic exploration, and radiometric exploration. Therefore, different exploration instruments need to be selected according to the actual situation. Various exploration equipment, such as total stations, levels, and theodolites, are frequently used in geological exploration. These instruments all require tripod support; therefore, tripods are an indispensable piece of equipment in actual geological exploration operations.

[0003] In actual use, current tripods require leveling first. During this process, users need to open all three support legs and adjust their height. Then, based on the deviation on the bubble level, they need to adjust the tilt angle and actual height of the support legs to level the tripod. This requires considering multiple factors, resulting in low efficiency in leveling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a tripod for geological exploration.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A tripod for geological exploration includes a support frame. A bubble level is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame. Three sets of rotating frames are fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame. Support rods are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the rotating frames. Locking bolts are threaded to the sides of the rotating frames. A support assembly is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame. A rotating groove is formed at the bottom end of the support rod. An adjustment assembly is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove. The adjustment assembly includes a rotating shaft. A support column is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft away from the rotating groove. A locking bolt is threaded to the side of the support rod. An adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the support column. A movable plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support column. Two connecting rods are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable plate. Positioning cones are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two connecting rods.

[0007] Preferably, the upper surface of the movable plate is provided with a threaded hole, and the movable plate is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw through the threaded hole. Rotating the adjusting screw can drive the movable plate to move up and down inside the support column, thereby driving the height of the positioning cone through the connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the support column has a circular hole adapted to the adjusting screw, and the bottom of the support column has two through holes adapted to the connecting rod.

[0009] Preferably, the support assembly includes a circular sleeve, and a circular through hole is formed on the upper surface of the support frame. The circular sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular through hole.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example:

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 A tripod for geological exploration includes a support frame 1, a bubble level fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame 1, three sets of rotating frames 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame 1, a support rod 3 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 2, a locking bolt 4 threadedly connected to the side of the rotating frame 2, a bracket assembly fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame 1, a rotating groove opened at the bottom of the support rod 3, an adjustment assembly rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove, the adjustment assembly including a rotating shaft 5, a support column 6 fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 5 away from the rotating groove, a locking bolt 7 threadedly connected to the side of the support rod 3, an adjusting screw 8 rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the support column 6, a movable plate 9 slidably connected to the inner wall of the support column 6, two connecting rods 10 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable plate 9, and a positioning cone 11 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the two connecting rods 10.

[0022] The upper surface of the movable plate 9 is provided with a threaded hole, and the movable plate 9 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 8 through the threaded hole. The top of the support column 6 is provided with a circular hole that matches the adjusting screw 8, and the bottom of the support column 6 is provided with two through holes that match the connecting rod 10.

[0023] After loosening the clamping bolt 4 and locking bolt 7, rotate the support rod 3 on the inner wall of the rotating frame 2 to unfold the three sets of support rods 3. After rotating to the limit angle, use the clamping bolt 4 to tighten the support rod 3 again to ensure that the support angle of the support rod 3 does not change. At this time, rotate the support column 6 so that the three sets of support columns 6 are perpendicular to the ground, and the three positioning cones 11 are in contact with the ground. According to the offset position on the bubble level, rotate the three adjusting screws 8 to change the height of the positioning cones 11 through the movable plate 9 and connecting rod 10, so as to quickly keep the support frame 1 in a horizontal state without changing the tilt angle of the support rod 3, which greatly improves the efficiency of adjusting the horizontal state.

[0024] The support assembly includes a circular sleeve 12. A circular through hole is provided on the upper surface of the support frame 1. The circular sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular through hole. A threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the circular sleeve 12. A movable plate 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular sleeve 12. A top rod 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 14. A support plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top end of the top rod 15. The top end of the threaded rod 13 extends into the interior of the circular sleeve 12 and is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the movable plate 14. A circular hole adapted to the top rod 15 is provided at the top end of the circular sleeve 12.

[0025] The support plate 16 can be used to lock and install the exploration equipment. At the same time, rotating the threaded rod 13 at the bottom can drive the moving plate 14 to rise, which in turn drives the top rod 15 to rise. The top rod 15 can change the height of the support plate 16, which can easily change the height of the exploration equipment at any time according to the user's needs, thus providing high flexibility.

[0026] Working principle: First, loosen the three clamping bolts 4 to free the three sets of support rods 3 within the rotating frame 2. Then, rotate the three sets of support rods 3 to a suitable angle and loosen the three locking bolts 7. This allows the three support columns 6 to rotate through the rotating shaft 5 and remain vertical until the three positioning cones 11 contact the ground. At this point, based on the offset position of the bubble level, rotate the three adjusting screws 8. This causes the adjusting screws 8 to move the internal movable plate 9 up and down, which in turn moves the positioning cones 11 up and down through the connecting rod 10, changing the support height of the support columns 6. This quickly keeps the tripod level. Compared to adjusting the three tilted legs, adjusting the upright support columns 6 is faster and does not require changing the tilt angle of the support columns 6, resulting in higher efficiency. Furthermore, when using the support plate 16 on the tripod, the threaded rod 13 can be used to raise the moving plate 14, which in turn raises the support plate 16 through the top rod 15. This allows the height of the support plate 16 to be adjusted according to the user's needs, providing high flexibility.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
