The invention discloses a
compass-based horizontal scanning ultrasonic
distance measurement instrument, which consists of a controller, a measuring device, a balancing device, a power device and a
data transmission device, wherein the controller is connected with the measuring device, a
driving circuit of the power device and the
data transmission device; the controller is a component which has
control function and consists of a singlechip or a
field programmable gate array (FPGA)
chip or a
digital signal processing (DSP)
chip; the measuring device comprises an
ultrasonic sensor and a rotary table; the balancing device comprises a
compass and a balancing vertical
pendulum; the power device consists of the
driving circuit, a stepping motor and a transmission device; and the
data transmission device consists of a serial level switch circuit, and realizes the function by using a max232
chip. When used on the unstable plane, the
compass-based horizontal scanning ultrasonic
distance measurement instrument ensures the horizontal distance between the measured object and the
distance measurement instrument, and has the advantages of strong applicability, wide and flexible distance measurement angle, convenience of
assembly and the like. The compass-based horizontal scanning ultrasonic distance measurement instrument has high practical value and wide application prospect in the technical field of electronic mapping equipment.
