[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 A total station mounting structure includes a mounting platform 1, with a hole in the middle of the mounting platform 1 for passing through a spiral 202. The diameter of the hole is smaller than the diameter of the connecting plate 101. A total station base 2 is provided above the mounting platform 1. Support legs 3 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting platform 1, and the number of support legs 3 is set to three sets.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting plate 101 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting platform 1. A first connecting plate 102 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the connecting plate 101. A second connecting plate 103 is rotatably connected to the tail end of the first connecting plate 102. A third connecting plate 104 is rotatably connected to the top of the second connecting plate 103. A fourth connecting plate 105 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the third connecting plate 104. A first rotating shaft 106 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner wall of the third connecting plate 104. The bottoms of the two first rotating shafts 106 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the second connecting plate 103 and the top of the fourth connecting plate 105. The front end and tail end of the third connecting plate 104 are rotatably connected to the top of the second connecting plate 103 and the top of the fourth connecting plate 105 via the first rotating shafts 106. A second connecting plate 105 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fourth connecting plate 105. A rotating shaft 115 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting platform 1 at its bottom. A fourth connecting plate 105 is rotatably connected to the mounting platform 1 via the second rotating shaft 115. Limiting blocks 107 are movably connected to the inner walls of the first rotating shaft 106 and the fourth connecting plate 105. A limiting plate 108 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting block 107. A pull rod 109 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting plate 108. A first spring 110 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting plate 108. Support plates 111 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the third connecting plate 104 and the fourth connecting plate 105. When the pull rod 109 is pulled upward, the limiting block 107 and the limiting plate 108 will move upward synchronously, thereby squeezing the first spring 110. When the pull rod 109 is rotated, the limiting block 107, the limiting plate 108 and the first spring 110 will rotate synchronously.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, three sets of first connecting plates 102 are provided, equidistantly distributed on the outer surface of the connecting disk 101. When the connecting disk 101 is moved, the first connecting plates 102 move synchronously, thereby driving the second connecting plate 103 to move. Since the second connecting plate 103 and the fourth connecting plate 105 are movably connected through a third connecting plate 104, and the fourth connecting plate 105 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting platform 1, the second connecting plate 103, the third connecting plate 104, and the fourth connecting plate 105 can change their state as the connecting disk 101 moves, thereby allowing the connecting disk 101 to move in any direction for subsequent... Continuing to adjust the position of the total station, the bottoms of the second connecting plate 103 and the third connecting plate 104 are rotatably connected to the top of the mounting platform 1. The limiting block 107 is set in the shape of a cube, and the top of the first rotating shaft 106 and the top of the second rotating shaft 115 are both provided with square grooves that are adapted to the limiting block 107. The pull rod 109 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 111. When the limiting block 107 is inserted into the square groove of the second rotating shaft 115, the second rotating shaft 115 and the fourth connecting plate 105 can be fixed together. Similarly, when the limiting block 107 is inserted into the first rotating shaft 106, the third connecting plate 104 and the first rotating shaft 106 can be fixed together.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the inner walls of the third connecting plate 104 and the fourth connecting plate 105 are slidably connected with fixing pins 112, and the outer surfaces of the third connecting plate 104 and the fourth connecting plate 105 are fixedly installed with second springs 113. The front end of the second spring 113 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing pin 112. When the fixing pin 112 is pulled, the second spring 113 will be stretched. When the pull rod 109 is pulled upward and the limiting groove 114 is aligned with the tail end of the fixing pin 112, the tail end of the fixing pin 112 can be inserted into the limiting groove 114 under the action of the second spring 113, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the pull rod 109 and preventing the limiting block 107 from rebounding downward under the action of the first spring 110. The tail end of the pull rod 109 is provided with a limiting groove 114, and the tail end of the fixing pin 112 is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 114.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the total station base 2 is provided with a threaded groove 201, and the inner wall of the threaded groove 201 is threaded with a helix 202.

[0024] In use, first spread out the support legs 3 to keep the mounting platform 1 level. Then lift the total station and place the total station base 2 on the connecting plate 101. Next, use the screw 202 to pass the front end of the screw 202 through the center hole at the bottom of the connecting plate 101 and screw it into the threaded groove 201, thus fixing the total station to the connecting plate 101 and then to the mounting platform 1. When leveling is required, pull the pull rod 109 upward to disengage the limit block 107 from the second rotating shaft 115, releasing the fixation between the second rotating shaft 115 and the fourth connecting plate 105, allowing the fourth connecting plate to... Plate 105 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 115. During the upward pulling of pull rod 109, the tail end of fixing pin 112 always abuts against the outer surface of pull rod 109. When fixing pin 112 is aligned with limiting groove 114, under the cooperation of second spring 113, fixing pin 112 is inserted into limiting groove 114, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing pull rod 109. Repeating the above operation can release the fixation between third connecting plate 104 and first rotating shaft 106, allowing second connecting plate 103 and third connecting plate 104 to rotate, thereby allowing connecting disc 101 to move in any direction, thereby achieving To move the total station, there is no need to loosen screw 202, ensuring the total station remains stably connected to the connecting plate 101 and preventing accidental slippage during leveling. After leveling, pull the fixing pin 112 out of the limiting groove 114 and rotate the pull rod 109 so that the four sides of the limiting block 107 align with the four sides of the square groove at the top of the second rotating shaft 115. Then, release the pull rod 109; with the cooperation of the first spring 110, the limiting block 107 can be inserted into the second rotating shaft 115, allowing the fourth connecting plate 105 to be fixed together with the second rotating shaft 115, thereby enabling the fourth connecting plate 105 to move. The connecting plate 105 is fixed to the mounting platform 1. Repeating the above operation will fix the third connecting plate 104 to the first rotating shaft 106, thereby fixing the third connecting plate 104 to the fourth connecting plate 105 and the second connecting plate 103. Since the fourth connecting plate 105 can no longer rotate, the third connecting plate 104 and the second connecting plate 103 also cannot rotate. Therefore, under the constraint of the second connecting plate 103, the third connecting plate 104, and the fourth connecting plate 105, the connecting plate 101 can no longer move, thus achieving the purpose of re-fixing the total station for subsequent measurements.
