Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a mounting bracket device, specifically a quick mounting bracket for an integrated geological compass and laser rangefinder, belonging to the technical field of geological surveying auxiliary instruments and equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In many fields such as geological exploration, construction, and topographic mapping, geological compasses and laser rangefinders are extremely important surveying tools. Geological compasses help workers determine their location and measure the attitude of rock strata, making them an indispensable helper for field geologists. Laser rangefinders, with their advantages of high precision and rapid measurement, play a key role in measuring distances and mapping terrain, providing data support for the accurate implementation of engineering projects.
[0003] Existing patent CN207163465U discloses a geological compass, including a compass body and a support. The support includes a clamping part, a supporting part, and a rotating part connecting the clamping part and the supporting part. The supporting part includes at least three adjustable support rods and a tensioning mechanism connecting the three adjustable support rods. The clamping part of the support fixes the compass main body. The rotating part allows it to rotate freely to adjust the measurement orientation. Each adjustable support rod of the supporting part can be individually adjusted in height to adapt to the fixing needs of various ground environments. However, before using the geological compass and laser rangefinder, it needs to be leveled. In the prior art, it is difficult to adjust the angle of the fixed compass. Even if it can be manually adjusted, after adjusting in one direction, each fine adjustment may cause changes in the angle in other directions. Repeated adjustments and confirmations are required, which greatly prolongs the preparation time before measurement and seriously affects work efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a quick-installation bracket for an integrated geological compass and laser rangefinder to address the problem that existing devices struggle to adjust the angle of a fixed compass.
[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solution: a quick-installation bracket for an integrated geological compass and laser rangefinder, comprising a support column and a folding bracket, wherein a leveling mechanism is provided at the top of the support column; The leveling mechanism includes a rotating seat fixedly connected to the top of the support column. A first turntable is rotatably connected to the rotating seat. A second turntable is disposed above the first turntable and is connected to the first turntable via a ball joint and a ball socket. A track box is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first turntable. A slider is slidably connected inside the track box. A first screw for driving the slider to move is rotatably connected inside the track box. A connecting rod is hinged between the slider and the second turntable.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model: the slider has an internal thread that is compatible with the first screw, and the slider is screwed to the surface of the first screw through the internal thread.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: a horizontal bubble is embedded at the center of the top of the second turntable, and the ball stick and the ball socket are installed axially along the same center as the horizontal bubble.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: in the initial state, the slider is located at the innermost side of the sliding groove inside the track box, and the surfaces of the second turntable and the first turntable remain parallel.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a mounting bracket is installed on the upper side of the second turntable, and the surface of the mounting bracket is provided with mounting fasteners for fixing the laser rangefinder body and the geological compass body.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a locking mechanism for locking the first turntable is provided between the rotating seat and the first turntable. The locking mechanism includes a rotating column coaxially fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first turntable. A second screw is screwed into the rotating seat. A locking block is rotatably connected to one end of the second screw near the rotating column. A sliding groove for the locking block to slide is provided inside the rotating seat.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the side of the locking block near the rotating column has an arc surface structure, and several strip blocks are fixed on the adjacent sides of the rotating column and the locking block.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the second screw and the first screw have a rotating handle at their outer ends.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model is provided with a support column, a folding bracket and a leveling mechanism; the leveling mechanism includes a rotating seat, a first turntable and a second turntable. In actual geological exploration, this structure can achieve stable placement of the support by unfolding the folding bracket, and adjust the orientation by rotating the rotating seat and the first turntable. The slider is driven to move by the first screw, and then the second turntable is driven to deflect around the connection point between the ball and the ball socket through the connecting rod, so as to meet the instrument's leveling adjustment requirements. 2. This utility model uses the linkage of the first screw, slider, and connecting rod to precisely control the deflection angle of the second turntable through threaded transmission. By rotating the first turntable, the direction of the connecting rod is aligned with the deflection direction of the bubble, which can accurately adjust the deflection direction without repeated multi-directional adjustments, simplifying the operation process. After the adjustment is appropriate, the first turntable is firmly fixed by the engagement of the locking mechanism's strip block, preventing orientation deviation caused by external force during measurement and ensuring stability during the measurement process.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a quick-installation bracket for an integrated geological compass and laser rangefinder includes a support column 1 and a folding bracket 2, with a leveling mechanism 3 provided at the top of the support column 1. The leveling mechanism 3 includes a rotating seat 36 fixedly connected to the top of the support column 1. A first turntable 31 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 36. A second turntable 32 is disposed above the first turntable 31, and the second turntable 32 is connected to the first turntable 31 via a ball rod 34 and a ball socket 35. A track box 39 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first turntable 31. A slider 38 is slidably connected inside the track box 39. A first screw 310 for driving the slider 38 to move is rotatably connected inside the track box 39. A connecting rod 37 is hinged between the slider 38 and the second turntable 32. In actual geological exploration, this structure can be stably placed by unfolding the folding bracket 2. The orientation can be adjusted by the rotation of the rotating seat 36 and the first turntable 31. The slider 38 is driven to move by the first screw 310, and the second turntable 32 is deflected around the connection point of the ball rod 34 and the ball socket 35 via the connecting rod 37, thus meeting the instrument's leveling adjustment requirements.
[0018] Furthermore, the slider 38 has an internal thread that matches the first screw 310, and the slider 38 is screwed onto the surface of the first screw 310 through the internal thread. This threaded connection structure ensures that when the first screw 310 rotates, the slider 38 can move stably and accurately along the sliding groove in the track box 39, avoiding leveling errors caused by slider 38 deflection. During the leveling operation, the moving distance of the slider 38 can be precisely controlled by controlling the rotation direction and number of turns of the first screw 310, thereby precisely adjusting the deflection angle of the second turntable 32 and ensuring leveling accuracy.
[0019] A level 33 is embedded at the center of the top of the second turntable 32. The ball rod 34 and the ball socket 35 are installed axially with the level 33 along the same central axis. The level 33 is a circular bidirectional level that can directly reflect the horizontal state of the second turntable 32, providing a clear leveling reference for the operator. The coaxial arrangement of the ball rod 34, ball socket 35 and level 33 ensures that the second turntable 32 can be deflected and adjusted around the central axis of the level 33. This ensures that the leveling operation is always based on the level 33 as the reference, avoiding deviation in the leveling direction due to structural eccentricity and improving the accuracy and efficiency of leveling.
[0020] In the initial state, the slider 38 is located at the innermost side of the sliding groove in the track box 39, and the surfaces of the second turntable 32 and the first turntable 31 remain parallel. The operator does not need to recalibrate the initial position relationship of the two turntables before each use, and can directly carry out the leveling operation based on this parallel state, reducing the preparation time.
[0021] A mounting frame 5 is installed on the upper side of the second turntable 32. The surface of the mounting frame 5 is provided with mounting fasteners for fixing the laser rangefinder body 6 and the geological compass body 7. The mounting frame 5 provides an integrated installation platform for the laser rangefinder body 6 and the geological compass body 7, avoiding the cumbersome process of installing the traditional equipment separately. The mounting fasteners can quickly and firmly fix the two types of instruments on the mounting frame 5.
[0022] Example 2 Improvements based on Example 1: A locking mechanism 4 for locking the first turntable 31 is provided between the rotating base 36 and the first turntable 31. The locking mechanism 4 includes a rotating column 41 coaxially fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first turntable 31. A second screw 43 is screwed into the rotating base 36. A locking block 42 is rotatably connected to one end of the second screw 43 near the rotating column 41. The rotating base 36 has a sliding groove for the locking block 42 to slide. After the orientation adjustment and leveling operation are completed, the locking block 42 can be pushed along the sliding groove towards the rotating column 41 by rotating the second screw 43, thereby locking the first turntable 31 and preventing the first turntable 31 from rotating due to external force during the measurement process. This avoids changes in the horizontal position and horizontal state of the instrument, ensuring the stability of the measurement work and the reliability of the data.
[0023] Furthermore, the locking block 42 has an arc-shaped structure on the side near the rotating column 41. Several strip blocks are fixed on the adjacent sides of the rotating column 41 and the locking block 42. The arc-shaped structure of the locking block 42 can better fit with the outer circumferential surface of the rotating column 41 to ensure sufficient contact area. The design of the strip blocks can increase the friction and engagement between the two, making the locking more secure.
[0024] Both the second screw 43 and the first screw 310 have a rotating handle on their outer ends. The rotating handle provides the operator with a convenient point for applying force, allowing the second screw 43 and the first screw 310 to be easily rotated without the need for additional tools, thus simplifying the steps of locking, unlocking, and leveling operations.
[0025] Working principle: During geological exploration, the folding bracket 2 is pulled outwards to place the bracket in the area to be installed. Then, the laser rangefinder body 6 and the geological compass body 7 are placed in the installation position of the mounting frame 5 and fastened with multiple sets of elastic buckles. The position of the bubble is observed through the level bubble 33 at the center of the top of the second turntable 32. If the bubble is in the center of the level bubble 33, it means that the second turntable 32 is in a horizontal state. If the bubble is deviated to one side, the bubble is at a higher position. The first turntable 31 is rotated to align the track box 39 with the bubble position, and then the first screw 310 is rotated. When slider 38 is pulled outward, it will pull the second turntable 32 towards the bubble side via connecting rod 37 for fine adjustment until the bubble is centered on the horizontal bubble 33. Once the bubble is completely centered, immediately rotate the handle of the second screw 43 to push the locking block 42 towards the rotating column 41 until the locking block 42 and the strip block on the rotating column 41 engage. At this point, the first turntable 31 is firmly locked and cannot rotate freely. The horizontal position and state of the instrument are fixed to prevent positional shifts caused by external forces during measurement. After the bracket is leveled and fixed, the laser rangefinder body 6 and the geological compass body 7 can be started to carry out the measurement.
