[0002] In earthwork excavation projects, elevation accuracy directly affects construction quality and cost. Traditional methods mainly rely on manual measurement (such as levels) or fixed elevation stakes, which suffer from poor real-time performance, sparse measurement points, and large human errors. Recent automated solutions often employ single-point laser rangefinders or GNSS positioning; however, the former cannot simultaneously monitor slope flatness, while the latter suffers from signal obstruction in deep foundation pits and is costly.

[0027] Example: Reference Figure 1-4The device shown is a real-time elevation control device for earthwork excavation based on dual laser ranging. It includes a vertical support rod 2, vertically fixed to a stable foundation outside the excavation area. A base 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom, and the base 8 is bolted to the top of the pit 9, thus stabilizing the entire device at the top of the pit 9 and ensuring stability during construction. The vertical support rod 2 is a telescopic support rod with locking bolts to limit its extension and retraction, allowing for height adjustment according to actual needs. A level 12 is fixedly installed at its top, and a bubble level 1 is also fixed to the rod. The height of the bubble level 1 is adjustable, allowing for adjustment of the verticality of the upright during installation, working in conjunction with the level 12 to ensure the installation accuracy of the entire device. Furthermore, the vertical support rod 2 has length graduations, providing a clear view of height adjustment and ensuring its verticality.
[0028] Horizontal support rod 3: One end is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 11, which is rotatably fitted onto the outside of the vertical support rod 2. Both the rotating sleeve 11 and the horizontal support rod 3 have bolts at their ends to lock their rotation. The horizontal support rod 3 is a telescopic support rod, with a length that can extend and retract within the range of 1.5-3m. It has locking bolts to limit its extension and retraction, and also has length markings. The horizontal support rod 3 can achieve 360° horizontal rotation and pitch adjustment, and is used to fix the red laser light 4 and the green laser light 5. Through rotation, pitch adjustment, and telescopic functions, it can adapt to different pit shapes and excavation conditions, achieving precise positioning of the laser line.
[0029] Red laser light 4: Vertically fixed on the horizontal support rod 3, it can emit a red laser line 6 that is vertically directed toward the bottom of the pit 10, providing a vertical reference for the entire device.
[0030] Green laser light 5: It is tilted and fixed on the horizontal support rod 3. The tilt angle can be adjusted according to the foundation pit elevation. It emits tilted green laser line 7. The green laser line 7 and the red laser line 6 form an intersection point on the excavation surface. The elevation of the excavation surface is reflected in real time through the intersection point position.
[0031] Before excavating the foundation pit, the device is first fixed to a stable position on the top of the foundation pit 9 using bolts via the base 8 to ensure that the device is securely installed.
[0032] Based on the design depth and slope of the foundation pit, the theoretical position of the intersection of the red laser line 6 and the green laser line 7 at the bottom 10 of the foundation pit was accurately calculated, providing a basis for subsequent adjustments.
[0033] Adjust the height of the vertical support rod 2 and secure it using the locking bolts. Simultaneously observe the bubble level 1 and the top level 12 to ensure the vertical support rod 2 is vertical. The adjusted height can be visually controlled using the length scale on the vertical support rod 2.
[0034] Adjust the horizontal support rod 3 by rotating the sleeve 11 to adjust its rotation angle and fixing it with the locking bolt; adjust its pitch angle and lock it; at the same time, extend and retract the horizontal support rod 3 according to the actual situation and fix it with the locking bolt, and combine it with the length scale on the horizontal support rod 3 to ensure the accuracy of the adjustment.
[0035] Adjust the tilt angle of the green laser light 5 so that the red laser line 6 and the green laser line 7 intersect at the theoretical position at the bottom of the pit 10.
[0036] During earthwork excavation, the excavator operator directly observes the intersection of the red laser line 6 and the green laser line 7 on the excavation surface. When the excavation surface reaches the design elevation, the intersection should be located on the excavation surface.
[0037] If the intersection point is higher than the excavation surface, it indicates that the excavation depth is insufficient, and the driver needs to control the excavator to continue excavating.
[0038] If the intersection point is lower than the excavation surface, it indicates over-excavation, and the driver must immediately adjust the excavation operation. This real-time, intuitive feedback allows the driver to adjust the excavation depth and position promptly, achieving precise control over the excavation elevation.
[0039] The visibility of the laser line is more prominent at night or in poor lighting conditions. This device can effectively solve the problem of difficult nighttime measurement using traditional measurement methods, thereby improving construction efficiency and safety.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
