Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction surveying technology, and in particular to a measuring rod support for measuring the bottom elevation of a foundation pit on natural ground. Background Technology
[0002] In construction surveying, measuring the elevation of the bottom of the foundation pit is crucial to the quality and safety of the project. Currently, the industry mostly uses the vertical measuring tape method or the hanging tape method, which has significant shortcomings.
[0003] Regarding natural conditions, the vertical measuring tape method suffers from wind-induced swaying when the tape is suspended in the air, reaching 5-10 centimeters when the pit depth exceeds 3 meters. The suspended measuring tape method, due to rope deformation caused by its own weight, accumulates errors of 2-3 centimeters at depths exceeding 10 meters. Strong sunlight and rain further exacerbate data instability. In terms of labor costs, the vertical measuring tape method requires 3 people, while the suspended measuring tape method requires 4-5 people. Traditional methods only complete 8-10 survey points per day, with labor costs accounting for over 60%. Regarding construction efficiency, the long cycle time of each operation, with each survey point averaging 10-15 minutes, makes it difficult to meet the time constraints of large building complexes, often leading to idle time in subsequent processes.
[0004] Therefore, with the development of the industry, traditional methods are no longer applicable, and developing a new type of measuring tool has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a measuring rod support for measuring the bottom elevation of a foundation pit on natural ground, aiming to solve the problems of traditional methods for measuring the bottom elevation of foundation pits being greatly affected by natural conditions, having high labor costs, low measurement efficiency, and poor measurement accuracy.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a leveling rod support for measuring the bottom elevation of a foundation pit on natural ground. The support includes a leveling rod body and a horizontal support rod. A first fixing member is fixedly installed at one end of the horizontal support rod, and a second fixing member is installed at the other end. A leveling rod fixing cavity is provided within the first fixing member, which partially houses the leveling rod body. An electronic distance measuring instrument fixing cavity is provided within the second fixing member, and a laser distance measuring instrument is installed within the electronic distance measuring instrument fixing cavity. A level bubble is fixedly installed on the horizontal support rod.
[0007] Preferably, both the first and second fixing members have circular observation holes perpendicular to the horizontal support rod on their side walls.
[0008] Preferably, both the first fixing member and the second fixing member are convex-shaped structures with the same upper and lower openings, and the protruding ends of both the first fixing member and the second fixing member are open.
[0009] Preferably, the open end of the first fastener is fixedly connected by a first fastening bolt, and the open end of the second fastener is fixedly connected by a second fastening bolt.
[0010] Preferably, the length, width, and height of the horizontal support rod are 15mm, 30mm, and 500mm, respectively; the length, width, and height of the first fixing member are 3mm, 30mm, and 56mm, respectively; the diameter of the observation hole is 20mm; and the height of the tower gauge body is 5m.
[0011] Preferably, the center of the observation hole, the axis of the horizontal support rod, and the bottom of the laser rangefinder are on the same straight line.
[0012] Preferably, the tower gauge body is provided with scale lines, and the axis of the horizontal support rod is aligned with the +0.5m scale line of the tower gauge body.
[0013] Preferably, the size of the gantry fixing cavity is adapted to the size of the gantry body, and the size of the electronic rangefinder fixing cavity is adapted to the size of the laser rangefinder.
[0014] Therefore, the present invention employs the above-mentioned type of measuring rod support for measuring the bottom elevation of a foundation pit on natural ground, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) The device of this utility model has a collinear design of “observation hole center - horizontal support rod axis - laser rangefinder bottom”, combined with the horizontal calibration function of the level bubble, which can improve the single measurement error; the combination structure of the convex fixing part and the fastening bolt can greatly offset the wind interference and ensure the measurement stability under complex weather conditions.
[0016] (2) The overall structure of this utility model device is simple and easy to operate, shortens the operation cycle of each measurement point, meets the rapid construction needs of large building complexes, and indirectly reduces the risk of construction delay.
[0017] (3) The mounting plate fixing cavity and the electronic rangefinder fixing cavity of this utility model are designed to be size-adaptive, which can be compatible with most 5-meter mounting plates and laser rangefinders on the market. It has strong compatibility and can play a role in various building construction scenarios.

[0030] Both the first fixing member 3 and the second fixing member 9 are convex-shaped structures with identical upper and lower openings, and the protruding ends of both the first fixing member 3 and the second fixing member 9 are open. The open end of the first fixing member 3 is fixedly connected by the first fastening bolt 4, and the open end of the second fixing member 9 is fixedly connected by the second fastening bolt 11.
[0031] A level bubble 1 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal support rod 2. Circular observation holes 5, perpendicular to the horizontal support rod 2, are provided on the side walls of both the first fixing member 3 and the second fixing member 9. The leveling rod body 8 has graduation lines, and the axis of the horizontal support rod 2 is aligned with the +0.5m graduation line of the leveling rod body 8.
