Power supply unit mounting structure and surveying instrument
A power supply unit mounting structure comprises two stepped lock pins provided at an opening of a power supply unit storage and a seal provided at the opening, wherein the power supply unit comprises a flange part and a lock module provided on the flange part, wherein the lock module comprises a lock knob which is rotatable, a lock plate provided at a tip of a rotation shaft of the lock knob, and a cam mechanism configured to displace the lock plate in an axial direction, wherein the power supply unit is inserted into the power supply unit storage, by rotating the lock knob, the lock plate is rotated, a rotation of the lock plate is restrained, by rotating the lock knob after restraining the rotation of the lock plate, the flange part is displaced to the opening side, the seal is pressed, and the opening is sealed.
1. A surveying instrument comprising a surveying instrument main body which has a power supply unit storage, a power supply unit which is inserted into said power supply unit storage, and a power supply unit mounting structure for mounting said power supply unit, wherein said power supply unit mounting structure comprises: two stepped lock pins protruded adjacent to an opening of said power supply unit storage and a seal provided in such a manner that said seal surrounds said opening, wherein said power supply unit, comprises a flange part and a lock module provided on said flange part, wherein said lock module comprises a lock knob which is rotatable and of which axis displacement is restrained, a lock plate provided at a tip of a rotation shaft of said lock knob, and a cam mechanism configured to displace said lock plate in an axial direction by restraining a rotation of said lock plate, wherein, at both end portions, said lock plate includes engagement holes which are engageable with said lock pins, and wherein said lock pins are inserted into said engagement holes by inserting said power supply unit into said power supply unit storage, by rotating said lock knob, said lock plate is rotated and said lock pins engage with said engagement holes, the rotation of said lock plate is restrained by said engagement holes, by rotating said lock knob after restraining the rotation of said lock plate, said flange part is displaced to said opening side, said seal is pressed, and said opening is sealed, wherein said cam mechanism comprises a cam plate which is rotatably and slidably provided to said rotation shaft, a V-groove formed on said cam plate, a cam pin provided at a tip portion of said rotation shaft in such a manner that said cam pin is orthogonal to a rotation axis and which is fittable and removable with respect to said V-groove, and an energizing means which energizes said cam plate is such a manner that said cam plate is pressed against said cam pin, and wherein said lock plate is fixed to said cam plate.
