特開平５−２７２９７８号公報JP-A-5-272978

バッテリーで動作する測量装置は、バッテリーを交換可能な構造を有している。測量装置では、大容量かつ大電流特性を有したバッテリーが利用される。一般に測量装置用のバッテリーは、保障する性能（例えば、連続稼働時間が○○時間といった性能）を担保するために、製造メーカが指定したバッテリーを利用する必要がある。例えば、同じ規格のバッテリーであってもニッケル水素系とリチウム系では、電圧が同じでも瞬時供給電流の値や容量が異なる。したがって、指定されたバッテリーを使用しないと当該測量装置で保障されている性能が得られない可能性がある。   A surveying device that operates on a battery has a structure in which the battery can be replaced. The surveying instrument uses a battery having a large capacity and a large current characteristic. In general, a battery for a surveying instrument needs to use a battery designated by a manufacturer in order to ensure a guaranteed performance (for example, a performance such as a continuous operation time). For example, even for batteries of the same standard, the value and capacity of the instantaneous supply current are different between the nickel-metal hydride system and the lithium system even if the voltage is the same. Therefore, the performance guaranteed by the surveying instrument may not be obtained unless the designated battery is used.

ところで、バッテリーは消耗品であるので容量が少なくなった段階で交換する必要がある。しかしながら、ユーザによっては、コスト削減のために指定されたバッテリーを利用せず、同じ形式の他のバッテリー（すなわち、非正規品）を使用する場合がある。この場合、所定の性能が得られない可能性がある。また、場合によっては、バッテリーの異常発熱や誤動作といった問題が生じる可能性もある。   By the way, since the battery is a consumable item, it needs to be replaced when the capacity is low. However, some users do not use the designated battery for cost reduction, and use another battery of the same type (ie, non-genuine product). In this case, the predetermined performance may not be obtained. In some cases, problems such as abnormal heat generation or malfunction of the battery may occur.

このような背景において、本発明は、測量装置用のバッテリーにおいて、ユーザが非正規品のバッテリーに交換できない構造を提供することを目的とする。   In such a background, an object of the present invention is to provide a structure in which a user cannot replace a battery for a surveying instrument with a non-genuine battery.

請求項１に記載の発明は、測量装置に装着するバッテリーであって、筐体と、前記筐体に蓋をする蓋部材とを有し、前記蓋部材は前記筐体に固定具によって固定され、前記固定具の解除ができない構造を有することを特徴とする。   The invention according to claim 1 is a battery attached to a surveying instrument, and includes a casing and a lid member that covers the casing, and the lid member is fixed to the casing by a fixture. The fixing device cannot be released.

請求項２に記載の発明は、請求項１に記載の発明において、前記固定具がネジであり、記固定具の解除ができない構造として、前記ネジの頭が接着剤により封止されていることを特徴とする。   The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein the fixing tool is a screw, and the head of the screw is sealed with an adhesive as a structure in which the fixing tool cannot be released. It is characterized by.

請求項３に記載の発明は、請求項１または２に記載の発明において、前記固定具の解除ができない構造として、前記固定具が接着剤によって固められていることを特徴とする。   A third aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the invention of the first or second aspect, the fixture is hardened by an adhesive as a structure in which the fixture cannot be released.

本発明によれば、測量装置用のバッテリーにおいて、ユーザが非正規品のバッテリーに交換できない構造が得られる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a structure in which the user cannot replace the battery for the surveying instrument with a non-genuine battery.
