Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge detection equipment, and particularly relates to a foldable chain track. Background Art
[0002] To avoid safety accidents, it is necessary to regularly detect the bottom surface of bridges that are long-term exposed to harsh natural environments.
[0003] Currently, the detection of the bottom surface of bridges is divided into manual detection and machine detection. Manual detection has low efficiency, high costs, and high risks of casualties. Machine detection can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and reduce the risk of casualties. Among them, machine detection can be divided into two types. The first type is that a drone is equipped with a computer vision system to take photos of the bottom surface of the bridge. The second type is to first build a track on the bottom surface of the bridge for a trolley to travel on, and then the trolley is equipped with a computer vision system to take photos of the bottom surface of the bridge. The disadvantage of the first method is that when the drone flies under the bridge, the bridge body will block the GPS signal, making it difficult for the drone to be positioned. The second method does not require a GPS signal and has greater advantages in terms of detection efficiency, detection cost, safety, etc., and thus has become a promising direction. The track built under the bridge can be a cantilever track and a two-point suspension track. The cantilever track has limited load-bearing capacity and it is difficult to reach the middle position of a bridge with a large width. The two-point suspension track can cover all positions of a bridge with a large width, and under the same width condition, the two-point suspension track has a stronger load-bearing capacity than the cantilever track.
[0004] Regarding the problem of how to build a two-point suspension track under the bridge, the existing technical solution is as follows: First, suspend one end of a long strip-shaped rigid track with a rope so that it is vertically suspended on one side of the bridge, and then pull the rope fixed to the other end of the long strip-shaped rigid track on the other side of the bridge, so that the long strip-shaped rigid track changes from a vertically suspended state to a horizontally suspended state. The disadvantages of this solution are as follows: For a bridge with a large width, taking a bridge with a width of 25 meters as an example, the length of the long strip-shaped track to be built is greater than 25 meters. Therefore, the transportation, construction, and disassembly of the track are relatively troublesome, affecting the detection efficiency. In addition, if the distance between the bottom surface of a bridge with a large width and the ground or water surface is less than the width, that is, the distance between the bottom surface of the bridge and the ground or water surface is less than 25 meters, the track cannot change from a vertically suspended state to a horizontally suspended state, and the feasibility is poor.
[0005] Therefore, how to provide a foldable chain track that can solve the above technical problems is a technical problem that those skilled in the art urgently need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0042] In the first specific embodiment, the foldable chain track provided by the present invention is composed of a plurality of unit bodies hinged together, successively including an end unit body I10, a plurality of intermediate unit bodies 12 and an end unit body II11. The number of intermediate unit bodies 12 is greater than or equal to zero, and the number can be increased or decreased according to the width of different bridges 00.
[0043] Pulley modules I are provided on both the upper and lower sides of any unit body. That is to say, pulley modules I are provided on the upper and lower sides of the end unit body I10, the upper and lower sides of the intermediate unit bodies 12, and the upper and lower sides of the end unit body II11; pulley modules II are provided on the front side and / or the rear side of any unit body. That is to say, pulley modules II are provided on the front side and / or the rear side of the end unit body I10, the front side and / or the rear side of the intermediate unit bodies 12, and the front side and / or the rear side of the end unit body II11; any unit body is provided with a track member. That is to say, the end unit body I10, the intermediate unit bodies 12 and the end unit body II11 are provided with track members. The pulley modules I on the upper side of the end unit body I10 and the pulley modules I on the upper side of the end unit body II11 are for connecting the suspension ropes. The pulley modules I on the lower side of the end unit body I10, the pulley modules I on the lower side of the end unit body II11, and the pulley modules I of the intermediate unit bodies 12 are for connecting the towing rope I. The pulley modules II of the end unit body I10, the intermediate unit bodies 12, and the end unit body II11 are for connecting the towing rope II.
[0044] In this embodiment, when the towing rope I and the towing rope II are relaxed, the foldable chain track is in a curved state. When the towing rope I is relaxed and the towing rope II is tightened, the foldable chain track is in a folded state. When the towing rope I is tightened and the towing rope II is relaxed, the foldable chain track is in a straight state and the track members are spliced in the same straight line.
[0045] The foldable chain track is strip-shaped and is spliced by a plurality of rigid short strip-shaped track unit bodies. The adjacent track unit bodies are connected in a hinge manner. The rotation range of each hinge is 0° to 180°, and the rotatable directions of two adjacent hinges are opposite. It has three forms: a folded shape, a U-shaped curved shape and a straight shape. When in the folded state, its length dimension can be greatly reduced, which is convenient for transportation, delivery and recovery, and can adapt to most situations where the distance from the bottom surface of the bridge to the ground or water surface under the bridge is less than the length of the track during the construction and recovery processes.
[0046] Further, a hoisting module is adopted to drive the towing ropes. The end unit I 10 and / or the end unit II 11 are / is provided with a hoisting module I that connects and drives the towing rope I, and / or, the end unit I 10 and / or the end unit II 11 are / is provided with a hoisting module II that connects and drives the towing rope II. The hoisting module I and the hoisting module II are output modules for rotational motion and power, and both include a rotational power module and a drum, and can wind and release the ropes.
[0047] Furthermore, multiple groups of the hoisting module I and the hoisting module II can be set. The hoisting module I includes a hoisting module I-I provided in the end unit I 10 and a hoisting module III-I provided in the end unit II 11. The hoisting module II includes a hoisting module I-II provided in the end unit I 10 and a hoisting module III-II provided in the end unit II 11. Both ends of the towing rope I are connected to the hoisting module I-I and the hoisting module III-I, and both ends of the towing rope II are connected to the hoisting module I-II and the hoisting module III-II.
[0048] In this embodiment, one end of the towing rope I is fixed on the drum of the hoisting module I of the end unit body I10 at the leftmost end, and then passes through the pulley module I under each unit body in sequence to the right, and the other end is fixed on the drum of the hoisting module I of the end unit body II11 at the rightmost end; one end of the towing rope II is fixed on the drum of the hoisting module II of the end unit body I10 at the leftmost end, and then passes through the pulley module II in front of or behind each unit body in sequence to the right, and the other end is fixed on the drum of the hoisting module II of the end unit body II11 at the rightmost end. Suspension ropes are respectively arranged on the end unit body I10 at the leftmost end and the end unit body II11 at the rightmost end. By controlling the hoisting module II to reel in the towing rope II, the initial state of the chain track is in a zigzag folded shape, and the folded chain track is suspended on one side of the bridge 00 by the left (or right) suspension rope. The drone is used to tow the right (or left) suspension rope to the other side of the bridge 00. Then, the right (or left) suspension rope is towed and the left (or right) suspension rope is released simultaneously to move the folded chain track to the middle position in the width direction of the bridge bottom; then, by controlling the hoisting module II to release the towing rope II, the folded chain track turns into a U-shaped curve under the action of gravity; then, by controlling the hoisting module I to reel in the towing rope I, the U-shaped curve chain track turns into a straight line; a number of track members are arranged on each unit body. When the chain track turns into a straight line, the track members in each unit body can be sequentially spliced into a complete straight track for the mobile inspection platform to pass through; the recovery process of the track is the reverse process of the track construction process. First, by controlling the hoisting module I, the chain track is changed from a straight line into a U-shaped curve, and then by controlling the hoisting module II, the chain track is changed from a U-shaped curve into a zigzag folded shape. Then, the folded chain track is moved to one side of the bridge 00 by simultaneously releasing one suspension rope and reeling in the other suspension rope. Finally, the folded chain track is recovered to the upper side of the bridge 00 through the suspension rope. The foldable chain track is controlled by several hoisting modules to realize the transformation of its three forms, avoiding on-site construction and disassembly and improving the inspection efficiency.
