Abstract
Description
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of geodesy and is intended to determine the horizontal and vertical position of objects.
[0002] Accurate survey pole height is crucial for obtaining accurate measurement data during geodetic surveys. To ensure accuracy during geodetic work, all equipment used must meet specific accuracy criteria and be verified and adjusted in accordance with applicable requirements (minimizing measurement errors). Based on these measurements, the actual height of the survey pole must correspond to the scale printed on it to ensure accurate measurements. Conformity between the height of the survey pole and the scale is assessed by a control measurement using a tape measure. Based on any discrepancies identified, the necessary adjustments are made.
[0003] Since the surveying work involves using equipment (a survey pole and reflector) from different manufacturers, it is necessary to adjust the actual height of the survey pole to the scale. Adjusting the height of the survey pole to the scale is quite labor-intensive. Furthermore, the installed height of the pole, adjusted before the start of work, can be lost during the work due to dynamic effects on the pole from vibrations, oscillations, the operator's touch, etc., which increases the risk of obtaining unreliable measurement results.
[0004] The disadvantage of the existing method is the need to adjust the actual height of the pole to the scale before each work is performed.
[0005] The objective of the utility model is to establish the actual height of a geodetic pole in accordance with a scale when performing geodetic work.
[0006] The technical result of the utility model is the precise setting of the height of the geodetic pole to the scale without the use of additional measuring instruments.
[0007] The stated problem is solved, and the technical result is achieved by developing and using a device that is a removable structure, installed using a latch and a hinged connection, which allows for the rapid setting of the required height of the pole, fixing the reflective element (prism) using a threaded connection.
[0008] The claimed device for bringing the height of a surveying pole to a scale is explained by:
[0009] Fig. 1 - general view of the device;
[0010] Fig. 2 - detailing;
[0011] fig. 3 - device drawing.
[0012] The device consists of parts 1 and 2 having a radial shape and a corresponding height for establishing the actual height of the surveying pole in accordance with the scale, a stop 3 on part 1 and an opening 4 on the protruding element 5 of part 2, which, when connected, form a latch 6 designed to fix the device on the pole, a loop 7 and a pin 8, forming a hinge joint 9 designed to open and close the device when installed on the pole.
