AI Technical Summary
The existing tripod has a simple structure, which requires frequent movement of instruments and adjustment of height when monitoring in multiple locations, affecting work efficiency.
An automated surface deformation observation support device was designed, which adopts a gravity vertical adjustment component and a counterweight component. Through the cooperation of the connecting ball, extension rod and counterweight block, the total station can automatically keep level under different ground conditions, reducing repeated adjustments.
It enables automatic vertical leveling of the total station under different ground conditions, improving observation efficiency and avoiding tedious repetitive calibration processes.
