Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engineering structure safety monitoring technology, specifically relating to a portable gravity dam inverted hammer effective aperture measuring device and method. Background Technology
[0002] As people pay increasing attention to the safety of engineering structures, the requirements for the survival rate and data accuracy of safety monitoring instruments are also becoming higher. As large-scale safety monitoring equipment, vertical drilling is characterized by high measurement accuracy, high installation difficulty, and low survival rate, resulting in numerous installation failures among safety monitoring equipment. The main reason for these failures is that vertical drilling requires a verticality deviation of no more than 1‰, and the effective vertical space diameter after the protective casing is lowered must be no less than 100mm, making it difficult to achieve a high success rate. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a portable device and method for measuring the effective borehole diameter of gravity dam forward and reverse hammers. The purpose is to provide a device and method for controlling the quality of the drilling process, measuring the effective borehole diameter in real time and dynamically adjusting it during the drilling process, thereby improving the drilling quality, increasing the survival rate of forward and reverse hammer installations, reducing losses caused by drilling failures, and shortening the construction period.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A portable gravity dam inverted hammer effective aperture measuring device includes a support mechanism and a measuring mechanism; the measuring mechanism is mounted on the support mechanism.
[0005] The support mechanism includes an adjustable bracket, a flange, and a level bubble; the flange is connected to the adjustable bracket; the level bubble is connected to the flange surface; and a measuring mechanism is connected to the flange.
[0006] The measuring mechanism includes an angle disc, a scale, and a metal plumb bob; the angle disc is mounted on a support mechanism; the scale is detachably connected to the diameter line of the angle disc; and the metal plumb bob slides along the edge of the scale.
[0007] The angle dial is a 360-degree angle dial; the scale is a thickened stainless steel scale ruler; its thickness is not less than 3mm.
[0008] The support mechanism includes an adjustable bracket, a flange, and a level bubble; the flange is connected to the adjustable bracket; the level bubble is connected to the flange surface; a measuring mechanism is connected to the flange; the measuring mechanism includes an angle disc, a scale, and a metal plumb bob; the angle disc is mounted on the support mechanism; the scale is detachably connected to the diameter line of the angle disc; the metal plumb bob slides along the edge of the scale; the angle disc is a 360-degree angle disc; the scale is a thickened stainless steel ruler with a thickness of not less than 3mm.
[0009] A method for measuring the effective aperture of a portable gravity dam's inverted and upright hammer, using a portable gravity dam inverted and upright hammer effective aperture measuring device, includes the following steps: Step 1: Install the support mechanism at the orifice to be measured; Step 2: Center and level the support mechanism; Step 3: Install the measuring mechanism; Install the angle plate on the flange, and fix the scale to the diameter line of the angle plate; Step 4: Read the initial value; Step 5: Read the measurement value; Step 6: Calculate the effective aperture.
[0010] The specific method for aligning and leveling the support mechanism in step two is to make the flange in the support mechanism horizontal and concentric with the hole to be tested; the method for installing the measuring mechanism in step three is to install the angle plate on the flange; fix one end of the scale at 0° on the angle plate and the other end at 180° on the angle plate.
[0011] The method for reading the initial value in step four is to slide the metal plumb bob along the scale toward 0° on the angle dial; after the metal plumb bob touches the hole wall and stabilizes, the value of the metal wire in the metal plumb bob on the scale is the initial value.
[0012] The method for reading the measurement value in step five is to slide the metal plumb bob that has stabilized after touching the hole wall in step four along the scale towards the 180° direction of the angle plate until the metal plumb bob touches the hole wall and stabilizes. The value at which the metal wire in the metal plumb bob is located on the scale at this moment is the measurement value.
[0013] The method for calculating the effective aperture in step six is as follows: Effective diameter 1 = Measured value - Initial value + Plumb bob diameter; Adjust the scale so that one end is fixed at 10° on the angle plate and the other end is fixed at 190° on the angle plate. Obtain the measurement value and initial value again according to the methods in steps four and five to obtain the effective diameter 2. Repeat the above steps until one end of the scale returns to the starting measurement position. Compare the measured effective diameters and select the minimum value as the effective hole diameter of the monitoring section. If it is greater than the design value, the hole diameter is qualified and drilling can continue. If it is less than the design value, the hole diameter is unqualified.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] Example 1: according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The portable gravity dam inverted hammer effective aperture measuring device shown is characterized by comprising a support mechanism and a measuring mechanism; the measuring mechanism is mounted on the support mechanism.
[0026] In practical use, firstly, a support mechanism is installed at the borehole to be tested, and the support mechanism is adjusted to ensure it is horizontal and its center point is concentric with the borehole. Next, the measuring mechanism is installed on the support mechanism. Subsequently, multiple measurements are taken at different locations using the measuring mechanism, obtaining an initial value and a measured value each time. The effective diameter of the borehole is calculated using these initial and measured values. The measured effective diameters are compared, and the minimum value is selected as the effective borehole diameter of the monitoring section. If the minimum effective diameter is greater than the design value, the borehole diameter is acceptable, and drilling can continue. If the minimum effective diameter is less than the design value, the borehole diameter is unacceptable, and the section is backfilled with cement grout. After solidification, drilling resumes.
[0027] In some embodiments, the support mechanism includes an adjustable bracket 1, a flange 2, and a level bubble 3; the flange 2 is connected to the adjustable bracket 1; the level bubble 3 is connected to the surface of the flange 2; and a measuring mechanism is connected to the flange 2.
[0028] The adjustable bracket 1 in this embodiment is an adjustable triangular bracket in the prior art, which consists of three freely telescopic and fixed rods, and is hinged to the flange 2 by screws to realize its height adjustment function.
[0029] In practical use, first install the adjustable bracket 1 on the orifice to be measured, and adjust the adjustable bracket 1 to make the flange 2 horizontal and concentric with the orifice to be measured. This ensures the accuracy of subsequent measurements.
[0030] In some embodiments, the measuring mechanism includes an angle disk 4, a scale 5, and a metal plumb bob 6; the angle disk 4 is mounted on a support mechanism; the scale 5 is detachably connected to the diameter line of the angle disk 4; and the metal plumb bob 6 slides along the edge of the scale 5.
[0031] Furthermore, the angle dial 4 is a 360-degree angle dial; the scale 5 is a thickened stainless steel scale ruler with a thickness of not less than 3mm.
[0032] In actual use, after the support mechanism is installed correctly, the angle plate 4 is installed on the flange 2; one end of the scale 5 is fixed at 0° of the angle plate 4, and the other end is fixed at 180° of the angle plate 4; then, the metal plumb bob 6 is slid along the scale 5 towards 0° of the angle plate 4; after the metal plumb bob 6 touches the hole wall and stabilizes, the value of the metal wire in the metal plumb bob 6 at the scale 5 is read, and this value is used as the initial value; then, the metal plumb bob 6, which has stabilized after touching the hole wall, is slid along the scale towards 180° of the angle plate 4 until it touches the hole wall and stabilizes, and the value of the metal wire in the metal plumb bob 6 at the scale 5 at this moment is read, and this value is the measured value. Afterwards, the effective hole diameter is calculated. The specific method for calculating the effective hole diameter is as follows: Effective diameter 1 = Measured value - Initial value + Plumb bob diameter; Subsequently, one end of the scale 5 is fixed at 10° on the angle plate 4, and the other end is fixed at 190° on the angle plate 4. The measured value after the adjustment and the initial value are obtained again according to the aforementioned method to obtain the effective diameter 2. The above steps are repeated, with the angle moved at 10° intervals each time, until one end of the scale 5 reaches the 180° position. The measured effective diameters are compared, and the minimum effective hole diameter is selected as the effective hole diameter of the monitoring section of the monitoring hole. If the minimum effective hole diameter is greater than the design value, the hole diameter is qualified and drilling can continue. If the minimum effective hole diameter is less than the design value, the hole diameter is unqualified, cement grout is backfilled into this section of the borehole, and drilling is restarted after solidification.
[0033] The scale ruler 5 is made of thickened stainless steel with a thickness of not less than 3mm. In addition to being easy to measure, it also prevents bending under force from affecting the test results.
[0034] Example 2: according to Figure 1 Figure 3 illustrates a method for measuring the effective aperture of a portable gravity dam's inverted and upright hammer. This method utilizes a portable gravity dam inverted and upright hammer effective aperture measuring device and includes the following steps: Step 1: Install the support mechanism at the orifice to be measured; Step 2: Center and level the support mechanism; Step 3: Install the measuring mechanism; Install the 360-degree angle plate 4 on the flange 2, and place the thickened stainless steel scale 5 on the diameter line of the 360-degree angle plate 4 and fix it. Step 4: Read the initial value; Step 5: Read the measurement value; Step 6: Calculate the effective aperture.
[0035] Furthermore, the specific method for centering and leveling the support mechanism in step two is to make the flange 2 in the support mechanism horizontal and concentric with the hole to be tested; the method for installing the measuring mechanism in step three is to install the angle plate 4 on the flange 2; fix one end of the scale 5 at 0° of the angle plate 4 and the other end at 180° of the angle plate 4.
[0036] Furthermore, the method for reading the initial value in step four is to slide the metal plumb bob 6 along the scale 5 towards 0°; after the metal plumb bob 6 touches the hole wall, and after the metal plumb bob 6 stabilizes, the value of the metal wire in the metal plumb bob 6 at the scale 5 is the initial value.
[0037] Furthermore, the method for reading the measurement value in step five is to slide the metal plumb bob 6, which stabilized after touching the hole wall in step four, along the scale towards the 180° direction of the angle plate 4 until the metal plumb bob 6 touches the hole wall and stabilizes. The value at which the metal wire in the metal plumb bob 6 is located on the scale 5 at this moment is the measurement value.
[0038] Furthermore, the method for calculating the effective aperture in step six is as follows: Effective diameter 1 = Measured value - Initial value + Plumb bob diameter; Adjust the scale 5 so that one end is fixed at 10° on the angle plate 4 and the other end is fixed at 190° on the angle plate 4. Obtain the measured value and the initial value again according to the method of steps four and five to obtain the effective diameter 2. Repeat the above steps, moving the angle at 10° intervals each time, until one end of the scale 5 reaches the 180° position. Compare the measured effective diameters and select the minimum value as the effective hole diameter of the monitoring section. If it is greater than the design value, the hole diameter is qualified and drilling can continue. If it is less than the design value, the hole diameter is unqualified. Cement grout is used to backfill this section of the hole, and drilling is restarted after solidification.
[0039] In step three of this embodiment, when installing the measuring mechanism, the angle plate 4 is installed on the flange 2, and the scale 5 is fixedly connected to the diameter line of the angle plate 4.
[0040] The support system in this embodiment consists of an adjustable tripod, a stainless steel flange 2, and a spirit level 3. The flange is mounted on the adjustable tripod, which keeps the spirit level on the flange 2 horizontal, providing a level measurement condition for the measurement system.
[0041] This invention achieves high-precision safety monitoring of boreholes through a portable gravity dam upright and inverted plumb bob effective borehole diameter measuring device with a simple structure and convenient operation. The device solves the problem in existing technologies where measuring verticality and effective plumb bob diameter requires transporting high-precision equipment, which is relatively inconvenient.
[0042] This invention improves verticality and the efficiency of effective plumb bob diameter measurement, saving on investment in high-precision equipment. This invention also allows for dynamic adjustment of drilling accuracy.
