Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel construction, and in particular to a measuring point device for monitoring and measuring tunnel deformation. Background Art

[0002] Tunnels are engineering structures buried in the ground and are a form of human use of underground space. During tunnel construction, due to the influence of excavation, stress will be redistributed, resulting in a certain amount of convergence and settlement deformation of the tunnel. Excessive deformation will cause the tunnel structure to become unstable and damaged, causing economic losses and casualties. Therefore, it is essential to monitor and measure the convergence and settlement deformation of the tunnel in real time throughout the tunnel construction process.

[0003] In the prior art, when monitoring and measuring tunnel deformation, optical distance measurement is usually used to measure the distance from the measuring station to the measuring point. The real-time coordinates of the measuring point are calculated based on the coordinates of the measuring station and the distance from the measuring station to the measuring point, so as to calculate the convergence deformation and settlement deformation of the tunnel, and then guide the construction. Therefore, it is necessary to set a prism at the measuring point for the above optical distance measurement. However, the process of shotcrete spraying during tunnel construction often contaminates the prism at the measuring point or even buries the prism at the measuring point, requiring the staff to clean the measuring point or re-establish the measuring point, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will affect the effectiveness and guidance of the monitoring and measurement results. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a measuring point device for monitoring and measuring tunnel deformation, which can avoid the situation where the staff needs to clean the measuring point due to contamination of the measuring point, and is also conducive to avoiding the situation where the staff needs to re-establish the measuring point due to burial of the measuring point.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a measuring point device for monitoring and measuring tunnel deformation includes: a shell, the shell is used to be fixed on the side wall of the tunnel, and the top of the shell is an open structure; a baffle, the baffle cover is arranged at the opening at the top of the shell; a first drive device, the first drive device is connected to the baffle and can drive the baffle to move up and down; a pressure sensing device, the pressure sensing device is arranged on the top of the baffle; an ultrasonic sensor, the ultrasonic sensor is arranged in the shell; a second drive device, the second drive device is connected to the ultrasonic sensor and can drive the ultrasonic sensor to move up and down; a posture acquisition device, the posture acquisition device is used to acquire the posture of the ultrasonic sensor and can transmit data to the background; a control device, the control device is arranged in the shell and is respectively connected to the first drive device, the pressure sensing device and the second drive device.

At this time, the baffle is driven by the first driving device to move back to the shell to push up the unsolidified concrete layer, and at the same time, the ultrasonic sensor is driven by the second driving device to move a preset distance so that the ultrasonic sensor is re-extended from the shell. The posture acquisition device is used to acquire the posture of the ultrasonic sensor after it is re-extended from the shell and can transmit relevant data to the background, so as to correct the deviation of the measurement result caused by the change of posture of the ultrasonic sensor before and after the movement.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The measuring point device for monitoring and measuring tunnel deformation according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a shell 100, a baffle 200, a first driving device 300, a pressure sensing device 210, an ultrasonic sensor 400, a second driving device 500, a posture acquisition device 600 and a control device 700.

[0029] The shell 100 is used to be fixed on the side wall of the tunnel. The top of the shell 100 is an open structure. The baffle 200 is covered at the opening at the top of the shell 100. The first driving device 300 is connected to the baffle 200 and can drive the baffle 200 to move up and down. The pressure sensing device 210 is arranged on the top of the baffle 200. The ultrasonic sensor 400 is arranged in the shell 100. The second driving device 500 is connected to the ultrasonic sensor 400 and can drive the ultrasonic sensor 400 to move up and down. The posture acquisition device 600 is used to collect the posture of the ultrasonic sensor 400 and can transmit data to the background. The control device 700 is arranged in the shell 100 and is respectively connected to the first driving device 300, the pressure sensing device 210 and the second driving device 500. Specifically, the first driving device 300, the pressure sensing device 210 and the second driving device 500 can be connected to the control device 700 by wire or by wireless. Among them, the control device 700 can be a PLC controller or other types of controllers, which are not limited here.

[0030] Before monitoring and measuring the deformation of the tunnel, the baffle 200 is driven to move back to the shell 100 by the first driving device 300, and the ultrasonic sensor 400 is driven to move a preset distance by the second driving device 500 so that the ultrasonic sensor 400 extends out of the shell 100, so that the ultrasonic wave used for distance measurement is only propagated in the air, which is beneficial to improve the measurement accuracy. When monitoring the deformation of the tunnel, since the distance from the measuring station to the measuring point is measured by ultrasonic distance measurement, it is possible to avoid the situation where the staff needs to clean the measuring point due to contamination of the measuring point. When the process of spraying concrete is implemented at the measuring point, the concrete is sprayed onto the baffle 200. At this time, the pressure sensing device 210 detects the external pressure, and the control device 700 immediately controls the first driving device 300 to drive the baffle 200 to move toward the shell 100, and controls the second driving device 50 0 drives the ultrasonic sensor 400 to move a preset distance so that the ultrasonic sensor 400 is retracted into the shell 100, thereby preventing the ultrasonic sensor 400 from being buried by concrete. When the external pressure detected by the pressure sensing device 210 tends to be stable, the process of spraying concrete at the measuring point is completed. At this time, the baffle 200 is driven by the first driving device 300 to move back to the shell 100 to push up the unsolidified concrete layer, and at the same time, the ultrasonic sensor 400 is driven by the second driving device 500 to move a preset distance so that the ultrasonic sensor 400 is re-extended from the shell 100. Among them, the posture acquisition device 600 is used to collect the posture of the ultrasonic sensor 400 after it is re-extended from the shell 100 and can transmit relevant data to the background, so as to correct the deviation of the measurement result caused by the change of the posture of the ultrasonic sensor 400 before and after the movement.

Specifically, the screw lifting mechanism 320 includes a screw and a nut, the output shaft of the first drive motor 310 is transmission-connected to the nut of the screw lifting mechanism 320, the screw of the screw lifting mechanism 320 is connected to the baffle 200, the screw lifting mechanism 320 has a high bearing capacity, and can provide sufficient bearing capacity to cooperate with the first drive motor 310 to push up the concrete layer sprayed at the measuring point when the volume is limited, wherein the specific structure of the screw lifting mechanism 320 is a well-known technology and will not be described here.

[0034] It should be noted that, in some of the embodiments, the number of the screw lifting mechanisms 320 is four, and the four screw lifting mechanisms 320 are distributed in a rectangular array.

[0038] It should be noted that, in some of the embodiments, the limiting structure includes a limiting plane (not shown in the figure) arranged on the side of the sleeve 530, and the limiting plane is attached to the inner wall of the shell 100, and its structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0039] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the limiting structure can also be a guide sleeve fixedly arranged in the shell, and the guide sleeve is sleeved on the lower part of the sleeve. Accordingly, the cross-section of the sleeve is a regular polygon, and the shape of the cross-section of the guide sleeve is adapted to the shape of the cross-section of the sleeve, so that the sleeve can move up and down relative to the guide sleeve but cannot rotate relative to the guide sleeve. This is not limited here.
