Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pipe measurement device that measures the position of a pipe and a mount used therefor. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, drainage channel construction involves digging to a set height using a backhoe, and then, after the floor excavation is complete, stakes are installed in parallel every 10 meters as well as at bends and points where the slope changes.

[0003] The stake is set up about 1 cm higher than the specified pipe top height using a level, and the center position is measured using a transit.

[0004] To install the pipe, a plumb line is stretched across the stake, and the center of the pipe is determined using the drop from the plumb line and a pipe level, and the pipe is installed while aligning the left and right separations.

[0005] After the pipe installation is complete, the stakes are removed and the area is backfilled with soil excavated on-site, taking care not to misalign the pipe.

[0006] Basic backfilling is completed at the end of the day's work, so excavation should be completed 1-2 hours before that.

[0007] In conventional construction such as this, where water lines are laid on the stakes, the number of workers required for irrigation channel construction is the same, but the work of inserting, leveling, and compacting the pipe base material (pipe side and pipe top) is added.

[0008] Furthermore, when moving within the excavation opening, the presence of stakes can be an obstacle, and it is necessary to work across the stakes.

[0009] Furthermore, because the stakes are removed before backfilling, backfilling cannot begin until pipe installation work moves to the next span.

[0010] Furthermore, when a pipe comes under the tension rod, the tension rod must be partially disassembled and then restored after the pipe is installed (re-tensioning the plumbing).

[0011] Furthermore, since surveying is carried out in parallel with excavation work, there is the problem that surveyors and survey assistants must be present during excavation work.

[0012] Meanwhile, as a conventional device for measuring the bend of a pipe, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a device equipped with a total station. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0013] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-325167 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0014] However, with this device, a surveying prism (surveying target) is run through the pipe and measurements are taken with a total station from one opening side of the pipe, so it is not possible to correct the bend in the pipe while understanding the bend in the pipe at the position of the surveying prism inside the pipe.

[0015] The present invention has been made in light of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a piping measurement device and a stand that can improve work efficiency by displaying measurement results on a measurement terminal fixed to the stand at the position of the measurement target, which is the work position.
