[0002] As an important infrastructure for transportation, bridges play a key role in ensuring the safe transportation of personnel and goods. However, due to various factors such as design defects, construction quality problems, material aging, natural disasters, and overloading, bridges may suffer structural damage or even collapse. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of bridges, it is necessary to detect bridge collapse in a timely manner.
[0003] Current bridge anomaly detection methods include sensor technology, non-destructive testing technology (using ultrasonic waves, radar, magnetic powder, and penetration methods for detection), load testing technology, numerical simulation technology, and risk assessment technology. Sensor technology can monitor in real time through pre-set sensors, but current sensor technology only uses simple threshold determination for detection, which is often lagging and requires particularly severe conditions to detect and provide early warnings. Other technologies generally require pre-experimental analysis and are not highly real-time. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] Specifically, a bridge anomaly detection method combining displacement sensors and pressure sensors is proposed, which includes the following:
[0007] The adjacent two piers and the bridge deck therebetween are taken as a detection unit, and a displacement sensor and a pressure sensor are arranged between the two pairs of piers and the bridge deck of each detection unit;
[0008] A preset detection period is set, and any detection unit is sampled at equal intervals during the detection period to obtain a plurality of sampling data, which includes two groups of sensor data between the two pairs of piers and the bridge deck, and each group of sensor data includes displacement sensor data and pressure sensor data;

[0020] The abnormality prediction method is,
[0021] The minimum distance between the N fusion pressure sensor data formed in the range (T0+T, T0+2T) and the second curve is calculated to obtain N corresponding minimum distances, and the number Y of discrete points whose corresponding minimum distances exceed a first threshold is counted,
[0022] If the number Y is greater than a second threshold, it is determined that there is a pressure abnormality.
[0023] If at least one of the displacement anomaly and the pressure anomaly exists, it is judged that the fracture anomaly exists at this time.
[0024] Further, the method further comprises,
[0025] When it is detected that the displacement anomaly exists, the first threshold value and the second threshold value are corrected by a preset coefficient, that is, the first threshold value is updated to the original set first threshold value multiplied by alpha, and the second threshold value is updated to the original set second threshold value multiplied by alpha, wherein the value range of alpha is (0, 1).
[0026] Further, specifically, the curve fitting algorithm is a curve fitting algorithm based on the least square method.

[0049] In this preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned sensor arrangement can meet the needs of the proposed scheme of the present application.
[0050] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, specifically, combining the sampling data to detect the abnormality of the bridge, and determining whether there is a fracture abnormality, includes,
[0051] For any detection unit, assume that the preset detection period is T, and the number of sampling data is N;
[0052] First, the number of times Q that the displacement sensor is triggered in the sampling data within T is obtained, and the displacement sensor trigger means that the reflecting surface does not receive the signal of the infrared emitter;
[0053] Determine whether the number of times Q is greater than the number threshold, if yes, it is determined that the displacement is abnormal;
[0054] Then, N first pressure sensor data of the detection unit at the position are acquired, and N second pressure sensor data of another detection unit at the same bridge deck as the detection unit at the position are acquired within T, and the fusion data of the N first pressure sensor data and the N second pressure sensor data are calculated according to the average value at the corresponding time, that is, N fusion pressure sensor data are obtained;
[0055] A plane coordinate system is constructed with the sampling time as the horizontal coordinate, the fusion pressure sensor data as the vertical coordinate, and (0, 0) as the coordinate origin, and at this time, there are N discrete points in the plane coordinate system, the horizontal coordinates of which are located in the range of (T0, T0+T), and T0 is the starting time of the period T;
