[0041] Antenna 500 Detailed Implementation
[0042] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.
[0043] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a measuring device, which includes:
[0044] The housing 100 has an accommodating space inside;
[0045] Measurement component 200 includes navigation module 210, laser ranging module 220 and vision module 230, and measurement component 200 is at least partially disposed within the accommodating space;
[0046] An interactive panel 300 is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 100. The interactive panel 300 is electrically connected to the measurement component 200. The interactive panel 300 is used to set the start and stop of the navigation module 210, the laser ranging module 220 and the vision module 230 respectively, so that the measurement component 200 can form multiple measurement modes.
[0047] Furthermore, the measuring device also includes an antenna 500 to receive GNSS signals; the navigation module 210 includes a GNSS positioning unit and an inertial measurement unit.
[0048] Different combinations can be formed by operating the interactive panel 300 to set different on / off states of the navigation module 210, laser ranging module 220, and vision module 230. In this embodiment, the measurement component 200 has three measurement modes, and the measurement component 200 can be switched to different measurement modes by operating the interactive panel 300.
[0049] Specifically, the measurement mode includes a first measurement mode; wherein, when the interactive panel 300 sets the navigation module 210 to start, the laser ranging module 220 and the vision module 230 to be turned off, the measurement component 200 enters the first measurement mode.
[0050] In the first measurement mode, only the navigation module 210 is activated. In this mode, the measuring equipment can achieve integrated navigation using the GNSS positioning unit and the inertial measurement unit (IMU). The specific operating principles of the integrated navigation using the GNSS positioning unit and the inertial measurement unit are existing technology and will not be elaborated here. However, in the first measurement mode, the measuring equipment requires an external centering rod for assistance.
[0051] The measurement mode includes a second measurement mode; wherein, when the interactive panel 300 sets the navigation module 210 and the laser ranging module 220 to start and the vision module 230 to stop, the measurement component 200 enters the second measurement mode.
[0052] In the second measurement mode, the laser ranging module 220 can emit a laser to the point to be measured, thereby eliminating the need for a centering rod to physically contact the point to be measured. In other words, with the assistance of the navigation module 210, the laser ranging module 220 can assist the measurement device in completing the measurement without an external centering rod.
[0053] The measurement mode includes a third measurement mode; wherein, when the interactive panel 300 sets the navigation module 210, laser ranging module 220, and vision module 230 to start, the measurement component 200 enters the third measurement mode.
[0054] In the third measurement mode, the laser ranging module 220 can emit a laser to the point to be measured without the need for a centering rod; the vision module 230 includes a camera, which can capture the laser point hitting the point to be measured and the surrounding image (the image can be displayed on the interactive panel 300). In situations such as strong light or long distance, the operator can determine whether the laser is hitting the correct position by observing the image.
[0055] Furthermore, the interactive panel 300 is also used to display measurement results, and can also be used to respond to manual operations to import the local coordinate system into the measuring device.
[0056] In this embodiment, the interactive panel 300 is set as a touch-sensitive display screen, which can display various information, such as measurement results and images captured by the vision module 230; it can also execute various commands under manual control, such as switching measurement modes and importing local coordinate systems through data interaction with third-party software, which basically realizes the handheld function in traditional measurement equipment, so that the measurement equipment in this embodiment does not need to be equipped with an additional handheld device.
[0057] Understandably, the interactive panel 300 serves as a "window" for information display and a "bridge" for command interaction. The interactive panel 300 is electrically connected to the measurement component 200 and requires a control module (not shown in the attached diagram) to process the information. The control module can be a module unit independent of the interactive panel 300 and the measurement component 200, or it can be integrated into the interactive panel 300. It can also be implemented through software programs, or any other existing technology or structure capable of achieving this function.
[0058] Furthermore, the measuring device also includes a measuring key 400, which is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 100. The measuring key 400 is electrically connected to the measuring component 200. The measuring key 400 is used to respond to manual operation after the measuring component 200 enters any measuring mode so that the measuring component 200 can perform measuring work.
[0059] When the operator selects any of the aforementioned measurement modes through the interactive panel 300 and presses the measurement key 400, the measurement component 200 will run the measurement work and display the measurement data on the interactive panel 300 after the measurement is completed.
[0060] See Figure 1The housing 100 includes a top 110, a handle 120, and a bottom 130. The two ends of the handle 120 are detachably connected to the top 110 and the bottom 130, respectively. In this embodiment, the two ends of the handle 120 are threadedly connected to the top 110 and the bottom 130, facilitating the installation of internal measuring components 200 and other parts, and also facilitating maintenance. In other alternative embodiments, the two ends of the handle 120 can also be connected to the top 110 and the bottom 130 via other detachable connection methods such as snap-fit fasteners.
[0061] Antenna 500, navigation module 210, laser ranging module 220, and vision module 230 are basically located inside the top 110 of housing 100. It is understandable that, since the laser ranging module 220 needs to emit a laser and the camera in the vision module 230 needs to capture images, the laser ranging module 220 and vision module 230 are not completely sealed inside housing 100. An opening is provided in the top 110 to allow the laser ranging module 220 and vision module 230 to partially extend out of housing 100 for ease of operation.
[0062] Both the interactive panel 300 and the measurement key 400 are located on the handheld part 120, and the interactive panel 300 and the measurement key 400 are arranged opposite each other on the handheld part 120 so that when the measuring device is in normal use, the interactive panel 300 faces the operator and the measurement key 400 faces away from the operator.
[0063] The handheld portion 120 of the housing 100 is basically cylindrical in shape for easy gripping by the operator. Understandably, during use, the laser ranging module 220 (the laser emitter) and the vision module 230 (the camera) should face the point to be measured, while the interaction panel 300 faces the operator for ease of operation and observation; the measurement button 400 is located away from the operator, on the opposite side of the interaction panel 300, or in other words, on the side facing the point to be measured. This arrangement better suits the operator's hand operating habits.
[0064] The bottom 130 is provided with a connecting part 131, which is used for detachable connection with the centering rod. When the measuring device needs to be connected to an external centering rod (when the measuring component 200 needs to adopt the first measuring mode), the centering rod can be easily connected to the measuring device. In this embodiment, an internal threaded hole is provided in the bottom 130 as the connecting part 131, which can be used with the centering rod with a stud on the top 110 to achieve a detachable connection; in other optional embodiments, a suitable connecting part style can be provided in the bottom 130 according to the specific structural form of the centering rod.
[0065] In this embodiment, the measuring device integrates an interactive panel 300 on the housing 100. The measuring component 200 includes a laser ranging module 220 and a vision module 230. By operating the interactive panel 300, the measuring component 200 can switch between multiple measuring modes. The navigation module 210 can be assisted by the laser ranging module 220, or by both the laser ranging module 220 and the vision module 230, eliminating the need for a centering rod. Users can directly use the interactive panel 300 on the measuring device, achieving the handheld functionality of traditional measuring devices without the need for an additional handheld device. Therefore, the measuring device is more convenient and easier to operate, helping to improve work efficiency, reduce workload, and promote the widespread use of measuring devices as tools. It has broad application prospects in pipeline measurement, building surveying, and other scenarios.
