Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surveying instrument bracket technology, and specifically discloses an adjustable bracket for surveying instruments. Background Technology

[0002] Surveying instruments are mainly used in land surveying, building surveying, and engineering surveying. They can be used to measure surface structure and dimensions, accurately measuring terrain undulations, height, and inclination, thus providing precise data support for construction operations. To improve the stability of the surveying instrument during operation, surveyors typically mount it on a support frame. This frame ensures the instrument maintains its horizontal position, height, and base level stability during prolonged use, helping to reduce measurement errors caused by temperature changes, vibrations, and other factors, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the surveying results.

[0003] At present, surveying instruments can be combined with geographic information systems (GIS) to measure spatial layout and environmental features in real time, thereby forming a three-dimensional spatial structure in the GIS. This not only facilitates data storage but also increases data output efficiency. Therefore, the combination of surveying instruments with panoramic imagery has led to the development of panoramic surveying instruments. Panoramic surveying instruments not only improve surveying efficiency and accuracy but also promote technological innovation and application development in multiple fields.

[0004] Currently, the support used for surveying instruments is generally a tripod, which consists of a top fixed base and support components. The surveying instrument can be fixedly mounted on the top fixed base, and its height and installation position can be adjusted by adjusting the support height of the support components. In actual surveying operations, if the surveying instrument is to achieve panoramic mapping, surveyors need to manually rotate the instrument according to predetermined standards so that the data acquisition end of the instrument can collect detailed data on the surrounding terrain. Because manual rotation is difficult to maintain at a uniform speed, the collected data and the resulting panoramic images will have missing details and inaccuracies. To ensure surveying accuracy, surveyors need to conduct multiple surveys at the same location, resulting in long surveying times and low surveying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problem of low surveying efficiency in current surveying and mapping operations, this utility model provides an adjustable support for surveying instruments.

[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable bracket for a surveying instrument includes a support leg, a fixed platform at the top of the support leg, a rotating motor fastened to the top of the fixed platform, an output shaft of the rotating motor connected to a stand, a vertically sliding plate at the front of the stand, a horizontal plate fixedly mounted at the front of the vertical plate, an electric slide fixedly mounted at the front of the horizontal plate, a drive motor at the side of the electric slide, a horizontally sliding slide seat mounted on the electric slide seat, and a mounting base mounted on the outer side of the slide seat for mounting and fixing the surveying instrument.

[0008] Preferably, each of the support legs is fitted with a sleeve, and there are multiple support legs. A receiving seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed platform. A groove is opened at the bottom of the receiving seat, and a hinge seat is fixedly installed in the groove. The sleeve is hinged to the hinge seat.

[0009] Preferably, a first rubber sleeve is fixedly inserted into the bottom end of the support leg, a second rubber sleeve is fixedly inserted into the top end of the sleeve, and an ear seat is fixedly installed on the top of the second rubber sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, the output shaft of the rotary motor is arranged vertically upward, and a support plate is fixedly fitted at the end of the output shaft of the rotary motor, and the support plate is fastened to the stand.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating shaft is installed on the front side of the stand, a bushing is fitted on the outside of the rotating shaft, a connecting plate is fastened to the bushing, guide rails are provided on both sides of the rotating shaft, the guide rails and the rotating shaft are arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plate, a slider is slidably installed on the guide rail, the slider is fastened to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is fastened to the stand.

[0012] Preferably, a protective cover is fixedly installed on the front side of the stand, and the side of the protective cover has a through groove to facilitate the vertical sliding of the stand.

[0013] Preferably, a handwheel is fixedly installed at the top of the rotating shaft, and the handwheel is arranged on the top of the stand.

[0014] Preferably, a shock-absorbing pad is provided between the cross plate and the electric slide table.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The rotating motor in this invention drives the support plate to rotate, allowing the stand to rotate at a constant speed along the output shaft of the motor. Through the cooperative structure of the electric slide table and the slide block, the slide block can move laterally at a constant speed along the electric slide table, thereby driving the mounting base to move laterally at a constant speed. This allows the surveying instrument inside the mounting base to rotate and move laterally at a constant speed, enabling the surveying instrument to collect detailed panoramic images and surveying data of the surrounding terrain. This invention eliminates the need for manual operation during data collection, ensuring uniform rotation and lateral movement of the surveying instrument. It effectively avoids the loss of detail and inaccuracies in the collected data and the resulting panoramic images, thus improving surveying accuracy and significantly reducing surveying time, further enhancing surveying efficiency. Therefore, it has a very broad application prospect. Attached Figure Description
