The invention discloses a latitude adjusting mechanism of a combined type equatorial telescope. The latitude adjusting mechanism comprises a base, an hour angle mechanism and a deflection angle mechanism, wherein the hour angle mechanism is connected with the base and can be driven by the latitude adjusting mechanism to rotate around a latitude shaft; the hour angle mechanism is detachably connected with the deflection angle mechanism; the latitude adjusting mechanism comprises two brackets which are fixedly arranged on the base at interval, a connection base which is clamped between the brackets and is connected with the brackets through a rotary shaft, and a screw rod mechanism; the hour angle mechanism is fixedly arranged above the connection base; and the connection base can do rotary movement under the driving of the screw rod mechanism. By adjusting the screw rod mechanism, the connection base can be driven to rotate around the rotary shaft, so that the adjustment of latitude is realized. The latitude adjusting mechanism of the combined type equatorial telescope has the advantages of simple structure, convenience for operation and relatively low manufacturing cost.

The invention discloses a latitude regulating mechanism of an equatorial telescope. The equatorial telescope comprises a supporting seat and an hour angle assembly, wherein the hour angle assembly is mounted on the supporting seat and can rotate round the supporting seat. The latitude regulating mechanism comprises a worm wheel, a worm, a joint, a compression spring, a wrench and a limit screw, wherein the worm wheel penetrates through a slot in the side face of the supporting seat and is fixedly connected with the hour angle assembly, and the worm is horizontally arranged under the worm wheel and meshed with the worm wheel; the joint is fixed arranged at one end of the worm, and the compression spring is arranged on the joint in a sleeving manner; the limit screw penetrates through a through hole in the wrench and is fixedly connected with the tail end of the joint, and the wrench is limited at the tail end of the joint; a tooth-shaped structure hinged with the exterior outline of the joint is arranged in the through hole in the wrench and can slide along the joint. The latitude regulating mechanism can achieve a protection effect after precisely adjusting the latitude of the equatorial telescope, and prevents change of the latitude of the equatorial telescope caused by accidental touch, thus overcoming the defects of the prior art.

The invention discloses a Hoshino equatorial telescope bracket device. The bracket device comprises a tripod, a latitude adjusting mechanism and a Hoshino equatorial telescope, wherein the latitude adjusting mechanism and the Hoshino equatorial telescope are sequentially connected to the tripod. The device further comprises a connecting mechanism used for erecting camera equipment or star finding equipment, a clamping groove is formed in the connecting end face of the Hoshino equatorial telescope, one side face of the connecting mechanism is provided with a sliding strip matched with the clamping groove, and the connecting mechanism is clamped to the Hoshino equatorial telescope through the match of the sliding strip and the clamping groove. Through the combination of all the components of the connecting mechanism, one or two pieces of erecting camera equipment or star finding equipment can be erected freely to meet multi-aspect needs of a user, celestial bodies are more convenient and free to observe and shoot, and cost for buying devices is reduced.

The invention relates to an equatorial telescope and theodolite composite bracket which comprises a base, an hour angle mechanism and a deflection angle mechanism, wherein the hour angle mechanism is connected with the base and can rotate around a latitude shaft under the driving of a latitude regulating mechanism; the deflection angle mechanism is connected with the hour angle mechanism and can rotate around an hour angle shaft under the driving of an hour angle driving mechanism; two sides of the deflection angle mechanism are respectively connected with a lens barrel connection base, the lens barrel connection base can rotate around a deflection angle shaft under the driving of a deflection angle driving mechanism; and the hour angle shaft and the deflection angle shaft are mutually vertical. According to the invention, quick and accurate adjustment in a plurality of angles and positions can be realized, and the operation is easy; and the bracket provided by the invention can be used as an equatorial telescope and the theodolite, can be used for loading various types and specifications of astronomical telescopes, angle measuring equipment, camera shooting equipment and the like, and can erect two devices for observation or measurement at the same time when being used as the theodolite, and can be widely applied.

The invention discloses a tripod of an equatorial telescope. The tripod comprises a connection base and three support legs, wherein a connection pillar is formed in the end of the top surface of the connection base; three articulation support lugs are formed in the side wall of the connection base; each support leg comprises an outer support pipe; a connection joint is formed in the upper end of each outer support pipe; an articulation support seat is formed in each connection joint; each articulation support seat is articulated with each articulation support lug through an articulation shaft;a guide groove is formed in the side wall of each outer support pipe; an inner support rod is inserted in each outer support pipe; the exterior of each outer support pipe is inserted and sleeved witha sliding sleeve; a conical pipe thread sleeve is formed in the lower end of each sliding sleeve; a plurality of cutting grooves are formed in each pipe thread sleeve and are used for cutting the pipe thread sleeve into a plurality of arc-shaped sheets; each pipe thread sleeve is screwed with a locking sleeve; each sliding groove is inserted with a connection rod; one end of each connection rod passes through each guide groove of each outer support pipe and is fixed in each inner support rod. According to the tripod of the equatorial telescope, the support leg structure of the tripod is improved, so that the constraint of folding the support legs is facilitated; meanwhile, a tripod tray can be conveniently placed on the tripod after the support legs are unfolded.

The invention discloses a polar axis telescope, comprising an optical telescope, a display screen instead of a reticle, and a control circuit; the display screen has one or more breakpoints packaged in one circle, and each breakpoint is connected to the control circuit by a transparent wire. The control circuit controls the lighting and closing of each breakpoint; the angular radius of the circle of one or more breakpoints is 1°, which is the same as the circle angular radius of the Polaris orbiting Tianbei; the control circuit is integrated with the time position Acquisition module; the control circuit calculates the clock position of Polaris relative to Tianbei according to the acquired geographic location and time, and lights up the breakpoint representing its correct position; observe Polaris and the correct position that needs to be adjusted in the field of view at the same time, Adjust the Polaris to coincide with the broken point that is lit at the correct position, and then you can accurately align the Tianbei stage so that the equatorial mount can go around the right ascension axis to achieve precise tracking. The invention does not need to add additional auxiliary equipment, and assists the user to quickly and accurately align the North Pole.
