The invention discloses a
heat transmission bridge type sensor for measuring
erosion and deposition depth on the periphery of a bridge steel
pipe pile. The
heat transmission bridge type sensor for measuring the
erosion and deposition depth on the periphery of the bridge steel
pipe pile is based on the principle that a heat source and
temperature sensing points are located at the two ends of a
heat transmission bridge respectively, the heat emitted by the heat source is transmitted to the
temperature sensing points through the heat transmission bridge, and when the heat transmission bridge is located in a
water body, the heat loss is in
positive correlation with the
water velocity and is larger than that in a soil body obviously. The heat transmission
bridge type sensor for measuring the
erosion and deposition depth on the periphery of the bridge steel
pipe pile comprises a shell body, a heat emitting block, temperature probes and other components. The heat emitting block is arranged in the center of the side wall of the inner side of the shell body, and the temperature probes are arranged on the middle points of the four edges of the shell body respectively. The heat emitting block is served as the heat source, and the shell body is served as the heat transmission bridge and transmits heat to the temperature sensors (the
temperature sensing points). Rated currents are input to enable the heating block to emit heat continuously, and whether the environment where the sensor located is the
water body or the soil body can be distinguished simply by measuring the temperature changing speed and the temperature changing range of the temperature probes in the heating process. A plurality of sensors are arranged at the positions of different depths on the pile body of the steel pipe pile, the boundary surface of the
water body and the soil body can be distinguished, and the erosion and deposition depth on the periphery of the bridge steel pipe pile can be determined finally.
