Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geographic surveying and mapping technology, specifically a foldable surveying and mapping platform. Background Technology
[0002] A surveying platform is an important auxiliary tool for manual surveying. During surveying, the surveying paper is laid flat on the surface of the surveying platform, and the surveyors complete the surveying on the platform.
[0003] Currently, in order to ensure the ease of use of the surveying platform, the surveying platform needs to be moved at any time by the surveyors to conduct geographic surveys in different locations. Traditional surveying platforms mostly use a rigid platform with flexible legs for folding and storage. However, this method can only reduce the height of the surveying platform, but cannot reduce its volume. In addition, the rigid platform is generally heavy and not suitable for long-distance transport. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable surveying platform to solve the problem that traditional foldable surveying platforms made of rigid surfaces are large in size and heavy in weight, making them unsuitable for surveyors to carry over long distances.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A foldable surveying platform includes an airbag, which is integrally formed from a platform airbag and four leg airbags. The outer sides of the platform airbag and the four leg airbags are all wrapped with a woven layer, and a flexible magnetic plate is fixedly connected between the top of the platform airbag and the woven layer. Woven straps are fixedly connected to both sides of the woven layer and between two leg airbags. An air inlet valve is connected to one side of the platform airbag. A storage bag is fixedly connected to the bottom of the woven strap on the side of the woven layer near the air inlet valve. The opening of the storage bag is fixedly fastened with Velcro. An upper permanent magnet and a lower permanent magnet are fixedly connected to the leg airbag on the side of the woven layer away from the air inlet valve, respectively.
[0007] Preferably, the airbag is made of flexible rubber material, and the woven layer is made of abrasion-resistant fabric.
[0008] Preferably, the upper permanent magnet is located on the upper outer side of the leg airbag, and the lower permanent magnet is located on the lower inner side of the leg airbag.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] 1. In this utility model, by designing the entire surveying platform with an airbag and woven layer, a lightweight design can be achieved, and it can be deflated and folded for storage when not in use. Compared with the traditional hard-surface surveying platform, it is smaller in size and lighter in weight, making it more suitable for surveyors to carry over long distances.
[0011] 2. In this utility model, by adding a storage bag to one side of the surveying platform, it can be used to carry some surveying-related tools (rulers, pens, magnetic pressure strips, etc.) and an air pump to assist in drawing and quickly inflating the surveying platform; and a flexible magnetic plate is also added between the air bladder and the woven layer of the surveying platform, which can be used with the magnetic pressure strip to hold paper in place, preventing it from slipping during the surveying process and ensuring surveying accuracy.

[0017] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0019] A foldable surveying platform includes an airbag 1, which is integrally formed from a platform airbag 11 and four support leg airbags 12. This allows the surveying platform to be erected and stored by inflating and deflating the airbags, ensuring its compact folding size. The platform airbag 11 and the four support leg airbags 12 are all wrapped with a woven layer 2 for wear-resistant and scratch-resistant protection, ensuring stability during use. A flexible magnetic suction plate 3 is fixedly connected between the top of the platform airbag 11 and the woven layer 2, allowing for both folding and unfolding, and facilitating paper pressing with magnetic pressure strips to prevent slippage. Woven straps 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the woven layer 2, between two support leg airbags 12, for limiting the support legs on both sides, ensuring structural stability, and facilitating folding. After being stored, it serves as a handle for easy lifting and carrying; one side of the platform airbag 11 is connected to an air inlet valve 5 for controlling the inflation and deflation of the airbag and ensuring structural stability; the bottom of the woven layer 2 near the air inlet valve 5 is fixedly connected to a storage bag 6 for storing tools such as rulers, pens, magnetic pressure strips, and air pumps for inflating the airbags, giving it a certain storage function; the opening of the storage bag 6 is fixedly secured with Velcro 7 for sealing and preventing loss; the upper permanent magnet 8 and the lower permanent magnet 9 are fixedly connected to the support leg airbag 12 on the side of the woven layer 2 away from the air inlet valve 5, respectively, for the surveying platform to be magnetically locked after deflation, folding and storing, in conjunction with the support leg, to ensure its integrity after folding and easy to carry.
[0020] In this embodiment, the airbag 1 is made of flexible rubber material, which allows it to be rolled up and folded after deflation; the woven layer 2 is made of wear-resistant fabric to ensure its wear resistance and scratch resistance.
[0021] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The upper permanent magnet 8 is located on the upper outer side of the leg airbag 12, and the lower permanent magnet 9 is located on the lower inner side of the leg airbag 12, which satisfies the structural and functional design.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, it is in the unfolded state by default, such as... Figure 2 When folding, first open the air inlet valve 5, then compress the surveying platform to expel the air from inside the airbag 1. Then, roll one end of the storage bag 6 inwards. After the entire platform airbag 11 is completely rolled, roll the outer support legs 10 around both ends of the rolled platform airbag 11, and use the upper permanent magnet 8 and lower permanent magnet 9 for adsorption and fixation, completing the rolling and folding process. Figure 4 Then, simply pull up the outer woven strap 4 to carry it.
