The invention discloses a curb chain type electronic measuring device for topographic measurement. The curb chain type electronic measuring device for topographic measurement comprises a plurality ofmeasuring units; the measuring units are hinged sequentially end to end through lock rings; and each measuring unit has the same structure, and consists of a rod-shaped shell with a sealed structure as well as a multi-axis angle measuring sensor, a power supply unit and a data transmission unit which are arranged in the rod-shaped shell. Compared with the existing topographic measurement technology, the device provided by the invention cooperates with a professional measuring instrument to perform topographic measurement, for the topographic measurement of each cross section, the measurement result data of the measured topographic section can be acquired only by measuring one point (starting point), and the measurement efficiency is doubled; furthermore, the device is also suitable for various complex topographic conditions such as underwater and weed coverage, and solves the problems of low engineering topographic measurement efficiency and difficulty in measurement under the complextopographic condition.
