Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

This utility model relates to the field of measurement and positioning instruments and relates to a laser collimation instrument.


BACKGROUND

In the current construction scenario, it is common to use a laser line projector in combination with a rangefinder. However, due to the fact that both instruments occupy a certain volume, there are inconveniences in carrying and placing them. Additionally, using the laser line projector and rangefinder separately requires manual operation for positioning twice, inevitably leading to errors.


SUMMARY OF DISCLOSURE

The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a laser line-projection device with ranging function, which combines the functions of line-projection and ranging, allowing for simultaneous line-projection and ranging in one operation. This not only facilitates the measurement and layout process, but also eliminates errors caused by dual positioning, thereby improving measurement accuracy and work efficiency.


The utility model provides a laser line-projection device, which includes a support, a suspension system, a laser line-projection module, and a laser ranging module. The suspension system is movably connected to the support and allows the suspension system to freely swing to a vertical state due to gravity; The laser line-projection module and the laser ranging module are fixedly installed on the suspension system.

Preferably, the laser line-projection module further comprises an indication point laser, wherein the indication point laser emits an indication beam parallel to and as close as possible to the ranging beam.


Preferably, the suspension system is a dual-degree-of-freedom cross suspension system.


Preferably, the dual-degree-of-freedom cross suspension system comprises a main shaft, a secondary shaft, a suspension frame, a fixed frame, and a suspension support. The main shaft passes through the suspension support and is hinged to the suspension frame through bearings at both ends. The main shaft has a radial main shaft hole at its center. The secondary shaft passes through the main shaft hole and is hinged to the fixed frame through bearings at both ends.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following specific embodiments are presented to further illustrate the utility model. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the utility model and not to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that, after reading the content of the utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the utility model, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope of the claims attached to the utility model application.


As shown in FIG. 1, a laser line-projection device with ranging function includes a support 1, a suspension system 2, a laser line-projection module 3, and a laser ranging module 4. The suspension system 2 is movably connected to the support 1, allowing it to freely swing to a suspended state under gravity. The laser line-projection module 3 and the laser ranging module 4 are fixedly mounted on the suspension system 2. The laser line-projection module 3 projects a cross beam onto a plane with a point of intersection, and the axis of the ranging beam emitted by the laser ranging module 4 passes through this intersection point.


In this utility model, in order to visually observe the actual ranging position, the laser line-projection module 3 further includes an indication point laser 33. The indication point laser 33 emits an indication beam that is parallel to the ranging beam and is positioned as close as possible to the ranging beam. This is to ensure that the projection point of the indication beam coincides with the ranging point, thereby eliminating measurement errors.


As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the laser line-projection module 3 includes a vertical line laser module 31 and a horizontal line laser module 32. The laser lines emitted by the vertical line laser module 31 and the horizontal line laser module 32 form planes that are mutually perpendicular. When projected onto a plane, they will form a vertical intersecting crossbeam, serving as reference lines for layout operations.


In order to make the projection point of the indication beam coincide with the intersection of the crosshair, in this embodiment, a planar rectangular coordinate system is established with the vertical plane as the reference plane. The ranging laser axis of the laser ranging module 4 passes through the origin of the coordinate system and is perpendicular to the reference plane, the projection light of the vertical line laser module 31 passes through the Y-axis of the coordinate system and is perpendicular to the reference plane, and the projection light of the horizontal line laser module 32 passes through the X-axis of the coordinate system and is perpendicular to the reference plane. As a preference, the indication laser beam emitted by the indication point laser 33 is perpendicular to the reference plane and is positioned as close as possible to the origin.


In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the suspension system 2 is a dual-degree-of-freedom cross suspension system. The dual-degree-of-freedom cross suspension system includes a main shaft 21, a secondary shaft 22, a suspension frame 23, a fixed frame 24, and a suspension support 25. The main shaft 21 passes through the suspension support 25 and is hinged to the suspension frame 23 by bearings at both ends. The main shaft 21 has a radially oriented main shaft hole 26 at its center. The secondary shaft 22 passes through the main shaft hole 26 and is hinged to the fixed frame 24 by bearings at both ends. The fixed frame 24 is fixedly connected to the support 1. The laser line-projection module 3 and the laser ranging module 4 are fixedly mounted on the suspension support 25. Through the two shaft systems vertically crossed, the suspension support 25 can swing freely with gravity to ensure the stability and consistency of the ranging beam direction.


In this embodiment, in order to adapt to different measurement environments and meet the requirements for both forward and reverse measurements, the laser beam projection direction of the laser line-projection module 3 is the same as or opposite to the laser beam emission direction of the laser ranging module 4. This allows for the measurement of distances in both directions, making it convenient for users to select the operation according to their own needs.


The utility model can be further described as follows: a position locking module is also installed on the suspension system 2, and when the position locking module is activated, the relative angle between the suspension system 2 and the support 1 is locked. In this way, when the back surface that this device is measuring against is not a vertical plane, natural suspension measurement can be used once, and then the locking module can be opened while the device is in a state of natural suspension to measure against the back surface once more. By combining the spacing between the indication beam projection points during the two measurements, the angle of inclination of the back surface can be calculated, facilitating the precise adjustment of the wall.
