Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of three-dimensional laser scanning measurement technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional laser target device that can provide high-precision reference points in environments such as tidal range, limited visibility space, and insufficient lighting below a wharf. Background Technology
[0002] During the upgrading and renovation of old wharves, to avoid collisions between new and old piles, it is necessary to accurately determine the three-dimensional coordinates of the existing piles beneath the wharf. Three-dimensional laser scanning technology is widely used due to its high efficiency and high density, but this technology requires the deployment of a large number of targets as coordinate transformation benchmarks. Existing technologies generally use reflective sheets or spherical targets, which have the following drawbacks:
[0003] 1) Due to the ebb and flow of tides, the target is easily washed away or submerged;
[0004] 2) The space below the dock is narrow and poorly lit, making it difficult to identify the reflective material;
[0005] 3) Spherical targets are prone to rolling, making it impossible to ensure a constant center position;
[0006] 4) It is difficult to level accurately after installation, resulting in large coordinate errors.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a laser target device that can be fixed for a long time, leveled quickly, and still provide a precise reference in harsh environments. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a three-dimensional laser target device that is suitable for use below a wharf and can be centered and leveled. It has a simple structure, quick installation, high reusability, and can work stably for a long time under conditions of large tidal range, limited visible space, and insufficient lighting, and significantly improves measurement accuracy.
[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is:
[0010] This invention provides a three-dimensional laser target device suitable for use below a wharf and capable of centering and leveling, comprising: a main body and a centering and leveling part.
[0011] The main body comprises: a cube, a prism, a disk, at least three wing bolts, and a U-shaped plate. The prism is embedded in the center of any side surface of the cube, with its center coinciding with the center of the cube surface. The diameter of the disk is larger than the side length of the cube. The disk is detachably connected to the cube. The wing bolts are threaded to the disk at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. The U-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the disk.
[0012] The centering and leveling section is detachably connected to the U-shaped plate and includes: a base, a circular level bubble, a buckle, a spring, and rivets. The base has four square-shaped grooves with a circular center for rotating the centering and leveling section. Each side of the buckle has a protrusion. By pressing and rotating the sides of the buckle, the protrusions are inserted into the grooves of the base for centering and leveling. The spring is connected to the protrusions on the inner sides of the buckle for rotating the centering and leveling section. The rivets are used to connect the base, the buckle, and the circular level bubble.
[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the disk is twice the side length of the cube.
[0014] Furthermore, the number of the butterfly bolts is three, and they are distributed in an equilateral triangle at a distance of 2cm from the edge of the disk.
[0015] Furthermore, the prism is a general-purpose surveying prism for total stations, and it is connected to the cube via a tail thread.
[0016] Furthermore, the main body and the centering and leveling part are connected by drilling holes and fixing bolts on the side of the U-shaped plate.
[0017] Furthermore, the wing bolts cooperate with the pre-embedded expansion bolts to fix the disc to the surface of the dock.
[0018] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1) The method of embedding a prism in the middle of the surface of the cube in this utility model avoids the defects of the prism-free acquisition method (that is, when using a total station for long-distance acquisition, the laser will appear as an ellipse on the target object instead of a red dot), and improves the positional accuracy of the target measurement.
[0020] 2) This utility model overcomes the disadvantage that the target is easy to move or fall off with the rise and fall of the tide, saving a lot of time, manpower and material resources, and achieving the purpose of long-term fixation.
[0021] 3) This utility model achieves the purpose of accurately measuring the center position of a cube through centering and leveling. Attached Figure Description
