Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring equipment technology, and in particular to a centering and lighting device based on a measuring rod. Background Technology
[0002] For commonly used prism rods, RTK measuring rods, and other full measuring rods with bubble leveling devices, the actual alignment of the rods cannot be confirmed due to height and brightness limitations when conducting measurements under dark conditions such as nighttime, underground pipe corridors, and basements, as well as measurements of flood control embankments (one side facing water), retaining walls, and high walls, and verification measurements of construction site layout stakes. This results in significant errors in coordinate and elevation measurements.
[0003] Currently, surveyors wear headlamps for nighttime measurements, but for high-altitude measurements, the existing bubble leveling device has limited visibility even with a headlamp. Existing leveling rods have centering and lighting devices, but they are elevation measurement devices used only for fourth-order leveling and above; they do not involve coordinate measurement. Furthermore, the leveling rod needs to be placed on a rod pad, and its 2-meter height and wide width require the operator to stand parallel to it to ensure accuracy. This makes it unsuitable for high-altitude measurements and surveying of stakeouts at construction sites.
[0004] In summary, existing measuring rods (such as prism rods and RTK rods) rely on a single bubble level for centering, which has the following drawbacks in dark environments (such as at night or in basements) or at high positions (such as flood control walls or retaining walls): insufficient light makes it impossible to observe the bubble level, resulting in poor centering accuracy; a single bubble level is difficult to adapt to different height measurement scenarios (such as differences in the height of workers or the verification of high-positioned wooden stakes); headlamp spotlights have limited illumination range, and leveling rods are bulky and unsuitable for coordinate measurement. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a centering and lighting device based on a measuring rod, which is a measuring rod device that can improve the centering accuracy in dark environments and adapt to different height scenarios.
[0006] The above-mentioned utility model objective is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A centering and lighting device based on a measuring rod includes a rod body, wherein a first level bubble and a second level bubble are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the cross-section of the rod body at a height of 0.6-0.7m.
[0008] The rod is equipped with a third level bubble at a height of 1.2m.
[0009] The pole is equipped with a detachable snap-on light strip, which is installed along the vertical direction of the pole and has a length greater than 0.5m.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model: the first level bubble and the second level bubble are respectively symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal direction of the 0.6-0.7m height section of the rod.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model: the snap-on light strip can be detachably fixed to the surface of the pole body by means of an elastic snap.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model: the snap-on light strip covers the illumination areas of the first level bubble, the second level bubble and the third level bubble.
[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model: the elastic buckle is an elastic silicone clamping part with anti-slip texture on the inner wall.
[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model: the surfaces of the first level bubble, the second level bubble and the third level bubble are all covered with an anti-reflective and anti-glare coating.
[0015] As a further technical solution of this utility model: the snap-on light strip is a rechargeable LED light source with a color temperature range of 5000K-6000K.
[0016] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] This utility model discloses a centering and lighting device based on a measuring rod. It achieves precise centering in dark environments and high-position scenarios by setting symmetrical double level bubbles at a height of 0.6-0.7m on the rod and adding a single level bubble at a height of 1.2m, in conjunction with a vertically installed detachable clip-on light strip.

[0024] Example 1:
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention discloses a centering and lighting device based on a measuring rod, comprising a rod body 1, wherein a first level bubble 2 and a second level bubble 3 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the cross section of the rod body 1 at a height of 0.6-0.7m; a third level bubble 4 is provided on the rod body 1 at a height of 1.2m; and a detachable snap-on light strip 5 is provided on the rod body 1, the snap-on light strip 5 being installed along the vertical direction of the rod body 1 and having a length greater than 0.5m.
[0026] The first level bubble 2 and the second level bubble 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal direction of the 0.6-0.7m height section of the rod body 1. The surfaces of the first level bubble 2, the second level bubble 3, and the third level bubble 4 are all covered with an anti-reflective and anti-glare coating.
[0027] The snap-on light strip 5 is detachably fixed to the surface of the pole 1 via elastic clips. The elastic clips are made of elastic silicone and have anti-slip textures on the inner wall. The snap-on light strip 5 covers the illumination areas of the first level bubble 2, the second level bubble 3, and the third level bubble 4. The snap-on light strip 5 is a rechargeable LED light source with a color temperature range of 5000K-6000K.
[0028] Structural Description: Centering bubble leveling devices are installed on both sides of the 0.6-0.7m cross-section of rod 1. A centering bubble leveling device is also installed on the left side at 11.2m of rod 1. A detachable snap-on light strip 5 with a length greater than 0.5m is prepared and vertically installed on the upper and lower bubble leveling surfaces.
[0029] Leveling bubbles are installed on both sides of the 0.6-0.7m cross-section of pole 1. A double centering device is used to check the centering status of the pole and improve the centering effect of the measuring pole. The pole is calibrated before operation to ensure the accuracy and precision of the centering setting. Leveling bubble devices at different heights are used for measurement operations under different height conditions, which can reduce the inconvenience caused by the height difference of the operators and the measurement of flood control embankments, construction site stakes and other high fields, thereby improving measurement efficiency and accuracy, and ensuring the personal safety of the surveyors. A flexible and detachable clip-on light strip 5 is added to improve the fixation and stability of the light strip, ensure visibility at night and in low light conditions, ensure measurement accuracy, and improve work efficiency.
