Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of total station technology, and more specifically, to a total station for rapid leveling. Background Technology

[0002] A total station, also known as a total station electronic tachometer, is an instrument that, once observed at a station, can automatically display necessary observation data such as slope distance, zenith distance (vertical angle), and horizontal angle. Moreover, it can obtain horizontal distance, elevation difference, and point coordinates almost simultaneously. If the data terminal of the total station collected in the field is connected to a computer or plotter through a transmission interface, and equipped with data processing software and plotting software, the mapping can be automated. It is widely used in precision engineering surveying or deformation monitoring fields such as the construction of large above-ground buildings and underground tunnels.

[0003] In the current technology, when leveling a total station, the operator usually needs to manually adjust the support height of each outrigger. This operation is not only cumbersome but also inefficient. Since each outrigger needs to be adjusted individually, the operator needs to spend a lot of time and energy to ensure the level of the total station, which increases the inconvenience and complexity of the surveying work. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a total station that can be quickly leveled, which solves the problem that in the prior art, when leveling a total station, the operator usually needs to manually adjust the support height of each outrigger. This operation is not only cumbersome, but also inefficient. Since each outrigger needs to be adjusted individually, the operator needs to spend a lot of time and energy to ensure the level of the total station, which increases the inconvenience and complexity of the measurement work.

[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a total station for rapid leveling, including a support base and a total station body. The total station body is disposed on the upper side of the support base and further includes U-shaped columns, support legs, a leveling assembly, a first electric push rod, a moving disk, a transmission component, and a level. Three U-shaped columns are mounted on the lower side of the support base in a ring shape. The support legs are connected to the U-shaped columns via connecting blocks and are capable of deflection around the U-shaped columns. The leveling assembly is disposed on the upper side of the support base. Inside the support leg, the leveling assembly is used to level the total station body. The first electric push rod is located on the lower side of the support base. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod is connected to a moving disk. The moving disk moves synchronously with the telescopic end of the first electric push rod. The lower side of the moving disk and the inner side of the support leg are connected by multiple sets of transmission components. The transmission components consist of a connecting plate and two hinge seats. The connecting plate is sleeved on the two hinge seats. The level is located on the lower side of the moving disk and moves synchronously with the moving disk.

[0006] The leveling assembly includes a second electric push rod, a movable plate, leveling feet, and a controller. The second electric push rod is disposed inside the support leg. The movable plate is connected to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod and moves synchronously with the telescopic end of the second electric push rod. The leveling feet are installed on the lower side of the movable plate and move synchronously with the movable plate. The controller is disposed inside the support leg and above the second electric push rod. The controller is used to transmit the information signal sensed by the level to the second electric push rod.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the total station with rapid leveling according to this utility model, in order to limit the movement of the moving plate and ensure the stability when the moving plate drives the leveling support leg to move, square strips are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the support leg, and square grooves are opened on both sides of the moving plate. The width of the square grooves is adapted to the width of the square strips.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the total station with rapid leveling described in this utility model, in order to limit the movement of the moving disk and ensure the stability of the moving disk during movement, two guide columns are installed on the lower side of the support base, and the two guide columns are symmetrically arranged on the lower side of the support base.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the total station with rapid leveling described in this utility model, in order to avoid direct collision between the positioning plate and the limiting plate, a limiting plate is installed at the bottom of the guide column, and a buffer pad ring is provided on the upper side of the limiting plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the total station with rapid leveling according to this utility model, in order to achieve positioning between the guide column and the moving disk, multiple positioning mechanisms are installed on the outer side of the moving disk. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning plate and a spring positioning pin. The positioning plate is installed on the outer side of the moving disk and sleeved on the guide column. The spring positioning pin is disposed on the outer side of the positioning plate and inserted into the guide column and the positioning plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the total station with rapid leveling described in this utility model, in order to achieve the insertion and positioning between the guide post and the positioning plate, positioning slots are provided on the outer sides of both the guide post and the positioning plate, and the inner diameter of the positioning slot is adapted to the outer diameter of the insertion end of the spring positioning pin.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the total station with rapid leveling described in this utility model, in order to limit the expansion or contraction of the support leg, a plurality of connecting rods are installed on the outer side of the support leg, and a connecting sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of two of the connecting rods. The connecting sleeve is used to guide the connection between the two connecting rods.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0014] In this disclosure, compared to existing technologies where total station leveling typically requires manual adjustment of the support height of each outrigger, a process that is not only cumbersome but also inefficient, the operator must spend considerable time and effort ensuring the total station's levelness, increasing the inconvenience and complexity of the surveying work. This disclosure achieves automated leveling of the total station body through the cooperation of the outriggers, leveling components, and a level instrument. This eliminates the need for individual adjustment of each outrigger, ensuring the total station's levelness and reducing the time required for leveling, thus improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the simultaneous expansion or contraction of the three outriggers, achieved through the coordination of the first electric push rod, the moving plate, and the transmission components, facilitates the subsequent leveling of the total station body.

[0023] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0024] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0025] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0027] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0028] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this illustration depicts a total station with rapid leveling capability according to an embodiment of this disclosure. It includes a support base 1 and a total station body 2, with the body 2 positioned above the support base 1. The total station body 2 also includes a U-shaped column 3, support legs 4, a leveling assembly, a first electric push rod 5, a moving disk 6, a transmission component 7, and a level 8. Compared to existing technologies where leveling a total station typically requires manual adjustment of the support height of each support leg, this process is not only cumbersome but also inefficient. Because each support leg needs individual adjustment, operators must spend considerable time and effort ensuring the total station's levelness, increasing the measurement complexity. To address the inconvenience and technical complexity of the work, this embodiment achieves automated leveling of the total station body 2 through the cooperation of the support legs 4, leveling components, and level 8. This eliminates the need for individual adjustments to each support leg 4 by the operator, ensuring the total station body 2 remains level and reducing the time required for leveling, thus improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the simultaneous expansion or contraction of the three support legs 4, achieved through the cooperation of the first electric push rod 5, the moving disk 6, and the transmission component 7, facilitates the subsequent leveling of the total station body 2 by the operator.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, three U-shaped columns 3 are installed on the lower side of the support base 1, arranged in a ring. The support leg 4 is connected to the U-shaped columns 3 via connecting blocks. Multiple connecting rods 10 are installed on the outer side of the support leg 4, and connecting sleeves 11 are sleeved on the outer sides of two connecting rods 10. When the support leg 4 expands or contracts, the connecting rods 10 can move inside the connecting sleeves 11. The cooperation between the connecting rods 10 and the connecting sleeves 11 can limit the expansion or contraction of the support leg 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the support leg 4 during expansion or contraction. Figure 2 As shown, the leveling assembly is located inside the support leg 4. The leveling assembly includes a second electric push rod 101, a moving plate 102, a leveling support leg 103, and a controller 104. Square strips are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the support leg 4. Square slots are formed on both sides of the moving plate 102. The width of the square slots matches the width of the square strips. The square strips can limit the movement of the moving plate 102 through the square slots, thus ensuring the stability of the moving plate 102 when it moves with the leveling support leg 103. Figure 3 As shown, the first electric push rod 5 is located on the lower side of the support base 1. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 5 is connected to the movable disk 6. The lower side of the movable disk 6 and the inner side of the support leg 4 are connected by multiple sets of transmission components 7. The level 8 is located on the lower side of the movable disk 6. The cooperation of the support leg 4, the leveling component and the level 8 can realize the automatic leveling of the total station body 2. The horizontal state of the total station body 2 can be ensured without the need for the staff to adjust each support leg 4 individually. The cooperation of the first electric push rod 5, the movable disk 6 and the transmission components 7 can realize the synchronous expansion or contraction of the three support legs 4, realize the synchronous adjustment of the support position of the three support legs 4, and facilitate the staff to perform subsequent leveling of the total station body 2.

[0031] Such as 1 and Figure 3 As shown, two guide posts 9 are installed on the lower side of the support base 1. The two guide posts 9 are symmetrically arranged on the lower side of the support base 1. A limit plate is installed at the bottom end of the guide post 9, and a buffer pad ring is provided on the upper side of the limit plate. Multiple positioning mechanisms are installed on the outer side of the moving plate 6. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning plate 201 and a spring positioning pin 202. Positioning slots are opened on the outer side of both the guide post 9 and the positioning plate 201. The inner diameter of the positioning slot is adapted to the outer diameter of the insertion end of the spring positioning pin 202. The positioning plate 201 has one positioning slot, and the guide post 9 has multiple positioning slots. The cooperation between the guide post 9 and the positioning mechanism can realize the movement limit of the moving plate 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the moving plate 6 when it moves. The positioning mechanism can realize the positioning between the guide post 9 and the moving plate 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the support leg 4 after expansion or contraction.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When the total station body 2 needs to be placed, the staff adjusts the support positions of the multiple support legs 4 as needed (the multiple support legs 4 are in a vertical state when not in use). The staff pulls the spring positioning pin 202 outward to cancel the positioning of the spring positioning pin 202 between the guide column 9 and the positioning plate 201. After cancellation, the first electric push rod 5 is activated. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 5 extends and pushes the moving disk 6 downward. The moving disk 6 drives the three support legs 4 to expand outward around the U-shaped column 3 through the transmission component 7. When the support legs 4 expand to the required position, the first electric push rod 5 is stopped, and then the device is placed on the ground. At this time, the level 8 detects the horizontal state of the total station body 2. The level 8 transmits the detected information signal to the controller 104. When the total station body 2 is not level, the controller 104 will control the corresponding second electric push rod 101 to start. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod 101 extends and pushes the moving plate 102 to move downward along the square strip. The moving plate 102 drives the leveling support leg 103 to move downward. When the leveling support leg 103 moves downward, it can lift the support leg 4 in the lower position, so that the support position of the three support legs 4 on the total station body 2 is in a horizontal state, thereby realizing the leveling of the total station body 2.

[0034] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
