Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photogrammetry system technology, and in particular to a portable photogrammetry system calibrator. Background Technology

[0002] Common calibrators for photogrammetry systems mainly consist of calibration plates and calibration rods. A typical calibration plate is a square or rectangular plate, commonly made of indium tinplate or carbon fiber, measuring 500mm x 500mm. It has evenly distributed target points, and the distance between each pair of points is calibrated and confirmed by a legal metrology institution. The calibration rod is a long rod, commonly made of indium tinplate or carbon fiber, typically less than 1000mm in size. It has several evenly distributed target points, and the position between each pair of target points is calibrated and confirmed by a national legal metrology institution.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention provides a portable photogrammetry system calibrator, including a support column 100, an adjusting sleeve 120 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the support column 100, a support screw 200 rotatably mounted inside the adjusting sleeve 120, the lower end of the support screw 200 movably inserted inside the support column 100, a hidden structure provided between the support screw 200 and the support column 100, a connecting gimbal 300 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the support screw 200, a connector 310 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the connecting gimbal 300, a plug rod 311 movably inserted at one end of the connector 310, two marking rods 400 movably sleeved on the surface of the plug rod 311, the marking rods 400 being staggered, telescopic rods 410 movably inserted at both ends of the marking rods 400, and calibration blocks 401 provided on the surfaces of the telescopic rods 410 and the marking rods 400.

[0025] In this embodiment, the support column 100 is fixed to the ground by a support structure. Rotating the adjusting sleeve 120 causes the support screw 200 to move upwards or downwards along the support column 100 under the action of the thread, adjusting the height of the marker rod 400 and the telescopic rod 410. The insertion rod 311 allows the two marker rods 400 to be mounted on the surface of the connector 310, and simultaneously adjusts the lateral tilt angle of the two marker rods 400. The connector 310 and the connecting gimbal 300 allow for adjustment of the vertical tilt angle of the marker rods 400. The telescopic rod 410 and the marker rod 400 facilitate adjustment of their lengths, allowing for adjustments based on usage needs and facilitating various calibrations.

[0026] The support screw 200 has sliding grooves 202 on both sides, and sliders 105 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the inner wall of the support column 100. One end of the slider 105 is movably inserted into the sliding groove 202. Under the action of the sliding groove 202 and the slider 105, the support screw 200 will not rotate with the adjusting sleeve 120, thus affecting the upper end of the support screw 200.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a portable photogrammetry system calibrator, wherein both ends of the marker rod 400 are provided with telescopic grooves, one end of the telescopic rod 410 is movable inside the telescopic groove, a retaining ring 412 is fixedly installed inside the telescopic groove, one end of the telescopic rod 410 is provided with a threaded hole, an adjusting screw 411 is rotatably installed inside the threaded hole, one end of the adjusting screw 411 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic groove, and an adjusting rod 413 is rotatably installed on one side of the telescopic groove, one end of the adjusting rod 413 is throttlely connected to the adjusting screw 411;

[0028] In this embodiment, a rotating adjusting rod 413 is used. The adjusting rod 413 drives the adjusting screw 411 to rotate through two different gears. Under the action of the threaded hole, the telescopic rod 410 moves along the adjusting screw 411, so that the telescopic rod 410 can move inside the telescopic groove, which facilitates the adjustment of the length of the marking rod 400 and the telescopic rod 410, and facilitates calibration.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a portable photogrammetry system calibrator. A support structure is provided at the lower end of a support column 100. The support structure includes a rotating groove 103, which is formed on the surface of the support column 100. An adjustment groove 104 is formed inside the lower end of the support column 100. Grooves connected to the adjustment groove 104 are formed on both sides of the surface of the support column 100. A movable support rod 110 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the groove. A rotating screw 111 is rotatably mounted inside the adjustment groove 104. The upper end of the rotating screw 111 is movably inserted into the rotating groove 103 and has a rotating block installed thereon. A movable sleeve 112 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the rotating screw 111. Movable connecting rods 113 are movably mounted on both sides of the movable sleeve 112. One end of the movable connecting rod 113 is movably connected to one side of the movable support rod 110.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the support column 100 is inserted into the ground, the user drives the rotating screw 111 to rotate by rotating the block. The moving screw sleeve 112 moves along the surface of the rotating screw 111. The moving screw sleeve 112 drives one end of the movable connecting rod 113 to move. The movable connecting rod 113 drives the movable support rod 110 to rotate, so that the movable support rod 110 unfolds and the lower end of the movable support rod 110 is in contact with the ground, which facilitates the support of the support column 100. Thus, the support column 100 has a good support effect.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a portable photogrammetry system calibrator with a hidden structure including a first storage slot 101 and a second storage slot 201. The first storage slot 101 and the second storage slot 201 are respectively opened on both sides of the surface of the support column 100 and the support screw 200. The inner wall of the first storage slot 101 is provided with a locking hole 102 on both sides. The two ends of the telescopic rod 410 are fixedly installed with connecting blocks 420. The surface of the connecting block 420 is movably inserted with a locking rod 421. The locking rod 421 cooperates with the locking hole 102. The surface of the locking rod 421 is provided with a movable block 422. The surface of the locking rod 421 is sleeved with a locking spring 423 connected to the movable block 422.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the support screw 200 is fully retracted into the support column 100, the first storage slot 101 and the second storage slot 201 overlap, and the telescopic rod 410 is fully retracted into the marking rod 400. The telescopic rod 410 and the marking rod 400 can be inserted into the first storage slot 101 and the second storage slot 201. The connecting block 420 is in contact with the inner wall of the first storage slot 101 and the second storage slot 201. The locking rod 421 is inserted into the locking hole 102 under the action of the locking spring 423 and the movable block 422, so that the telescopic rod 410 and the marking rod 400 can be limited inside the first storage slot 101 and the second storage slot 201, thereby allowing the whole to be well retracted and folded, making it convenient for users to carry.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
