[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge detection, and in particular to intelligent bridge detection equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the development of transportation, the construction of bridges, as an important part of transportation, has developed rapidly. However, due to the long-term bearing of vehicle loads on bridges, bridges may have cracks, weld defects and other defects, which seriously affect the mechanical properties and safety of bridges. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the fatigue damage state of bridges to provide a basis for their subsequent maintenance.
[0003] In the prior art, most of the inspections are carried out using negative pressure wall-climbing robots, which have two basic functions: adsorption and movement. The negative pressure wall-climbing robot must have appropriate adsorption force to enable the robot to adhere to the bridge wall and meet the requirements of flexible movement of the robot. Therefore, the adsorption force of the negative pressure wall-climbing robot cannot be too large, which may easily lead to an increase in the load on the driving wheel and the robot being unable to move; the adsorption force of the negative pressure wall-climbing robot cannot be too small, which may easily lead to the driving wheel being suspended and slipping, and may even cause the robot to be unable to adsorb on the bridge wall.

[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, one embodiment of the present application relates to an intelligent bridge detection device 10, including: a chassis 100, a plurality of negative pressure adsorption devices 200, a walking device 300, a control device 400 and an image acquisition device 500. A plurality of negative pressure adsorption devices 200 are arranged on the chassis 100, and are used to be adsorbed on the bridge wall 600. The walking device 300 is arranged on the chassis 100, and is used to drive the chassis 100 to walk along the bridge wall 600. The image acquisition device 500 is arranged on the chassis 100, and is used to collect the surface information of the area to be detected. The control device 400 is used to realize automatic control. It should be understood that the surface information refers to the information of cracks, weld defects and other defects on the bridge.
[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of negative pressure adsorption devices 200 are arranged at the bottom of the chassis 100, and the negative pressure adsorption devices 200 include a sealed chamber 210 and a negative pressure generating mechanism 220. The negative pressure generating mechanism 220 is connected to the sealed chamber 210 and is used to provide negative pressure for the sealed chamber 210. Specifically, a plurality of vacuum holes are formed in the sealed chamber 210, and the plurality of vacuum holes are connected to the negative pressure generating mechanism 220 through a vacuum tube. The negative pressure generating mechanism 220 can use a negative pressure fan or a vacuum pump.
[0040] The sealing chamber 210 includes a thin plate 211 and a sealing skirt 212, and the sealing skirt 212 is fixedly connected to the thin plate 211. The thin plate 211 is bent and together with the sealing skirt 212, a rectangular sealing chamber 210 is formed, and the sealing skirt 212 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis 100. The sealing skirt 212 is used to isolate the sealing chamber 210 from the external atmospheric environment. The sealing skirt 212 is made of a flexible material. In this embodiment, the sealing skirt 212 is made of rubber, and the elastic force of the sealing skirt 212 can make the sealing skirt 212 fit tightly to the outer surface of the sealing chamber 210. Figure 5 The bridge wall 600 shown in the figure ensures the sealing effect. When encountering a smaller obstacle, the sealing skirt 212 can automatically adapt to the obstacle under the action of the elastic force, so that the sealing skirt 212 still fits the bridge wall 600 closely to maintain the seal, and can achieve flexible sealing without affecting the normal movement of the chassis 100, which can reduce the risk of negative pressure leakage.
[0041] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the control device 400 includes a control module 410. The control module 410 can adopt a PLC or an MCS-51 single chip microcomputer. The negative pressure adsorption device 200 also includes a first pressure detection unit 230 and an alarm mechanism 240. The first pressure detection unit 230 is used to detect the pressure inside the sealed cavity 210. The first detection unit is communicatively connected to the control module 410, and the control module 410 is connected to control the negative pressure generating mechanism 220 and the alarm mechanism 240. In this embodiment, the negative pressure adsorption device 200 includes 4. The first pressure detection unit 230 can be a pressure sensor, a varistor, etc., as long as it can realize the function of detecting the pressure inside the sealed cavity 210. The alarm mechanism 240 includes a flash light and a buzzer.
[0042] Each first pressure detection unit 230 detects the pressure in the corresponding sealed cavity 210 in real time and transmits the data to the control module 410. The control module 410 is used to control the negative pressure generating mechanism 220 and the alarm mechanism 240 to take corresponding actions according to the received data. Specifically, when a first pressure detection unit 230 detects that the pressure in the sealed cavity 210 is lower than the set value, the control module 410 controls the corresponding negative pressure generating mechanism 220 to operate and provide negative pressure for the sealed cavity 210. When a first pressure detection unit 230 detects that the pressure in the sealed cavity 210 is lower than the set value for a long time, the control module 410 controls the alarm mechanism 240 to issue an alarm to prompt the staff that the negative pressure adsorption device 200 has a fault.
[0043] It should be understood that as long as the pressure in a sealed cavity 210 is lower than the set value, the corresponding negative pressure generating mechanism 220 will operate to provide negative pressure for the sealed cavity 210. If it is detected that the pressure in the sealed cavity 210 is lower than the set value for a long time, it means that the negative pressure in the sealed cavity 210 is leaking or the negative pressure generating mechanism 220 is damaged and cannot provide negative pressure for the sealed cavity 210. It should also be understood that the pressure inside the four sealed cavities 210 is set uniformly. When a negative pressure adsorption device 200 fails, the remaining negative pressure adsorption devices 200 can still ensure that the chassis 100 is stably adsorbed on the negative pressure adsorption device 200. Figure 5 On the bridge wall 600 shown.
[0044] See also Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the walking device 300 includes a driving wheel 310, a walking driving mechanism 320, a rotary driving mechanism 330, a lifting mechanism 340 and a driving wheel monitoring mechanism. The walking driving mechanism 320 is used to drive the driving wheel 310 forward or backward. The rotary driving mechanism 330 is used to drive the driving wheel 310 to rotate to achieve the steering of the driving wheel 310. The lifting mechanism 340 is used to drive the driving wheel 310 to rise and fall. The driving wheel monitoring mechanism is used to monitor the ups and downs of the driving wheel 310. The control module 410 is connected to control the operation of the walking driving mechanism 320, the rotary driving mechanism 330 and the lifting mechanism 340. The control module 410 is used to control the operation of the lifting mechanism 340 according to the ups and downs of the driving wheel 310 monitored by the driving wheel monitoring mechanism, so as to drive the driving wheel 310 to move up and down. In this embodiment, the walking device 300 is 4. In other embodiments, the driving wheel 310 is 4. The number of the lifting mechanism 340 corresponds to the number of the driving wheel 310. A single travel drive mechanism 320 and a single rotation drive mechanism 330 can simultaneously drive the drive wheel 310 to operate.
[0045] It should be understood that the driving wheel monitoring mechanism monitoring the ups and downs of the driving wheel 310 refers to monitoring the position change of the driving wheel 310 in the vertical direction, and taking the relatively flat wall surface on the bridge wall 600 as a reference to monitor the position change of the driving wheel 310 in the vertical direction. For example, there is a protrusion on the bridge wall 600, and the height of the protrusion is higher than the height of the flat wall surface. When the driving wheel 310 moves onto the protrusion, the driving wheel monitoring mechanism detects that the driving wheel 310 is in a high position, and the control module 410 controls the corresponding lifting mechanism 340 to operate, so as to drive the driving wheel 310 on the protrusion to move downward, so that the height of the driving wheel 310 is at the same level as that of other driving wheels 310. See Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the control device 400 also includes a communication module 420 and a terminal control module 430. The communication module 420 is arranged on the chassis 100. The control module 410 is connected to the terminal control module 430 via the communication module 420. In this embodiment, the communication module 420 adopts a 433 radio station. The terminal control module 430 can adopt an industrial computer or a computer. It should be understood that the ups and downs of the driving wheel 310 can be monitored manually or automatically.
[0046] Specifically, during manual monitoring, the ups and downs of the driving wheel 310 are judged by naked eyes, and control instructions are input to the terminal control module 430. The control module 410 controls the operation of the lifting mechanism 340 to drive the driving wheel 310 to move up and down according to the instructions received from the terminal control module 430.
[0047] During automatic monitoring, the driving wheel monitoring mechanism uses a second pressure detection unit 350. The second pressure detection unit 350 is used to detect the pressure on the driving wheel 310, and the second detection unit is communicatively connected to the control module 410. The second pressure detection unit 350 can be a pressure sensor, a piezoresistor, etc., as long as it can detect the pressure on the driving wheel 310.
[0048] The second pressure detection unit 350 detects the pressure on the driving wheel 310 in real time and transmits the data to the control module 410. When the second pressure detection unit 350 detects that the pressure on the driving wheel 310 is less than the set value, the control module 410 controls the lifting mechanism 340 to operate to drive the driving wheel 310 to move downward. When the second pressure detection unit 350 detects that the pressure on the driving wheel 310 is greater than the set value, the control module 410 controls the lifting mechanism 340 to operate to drive the driving wheel 310 to move upward. The relative position of the driving wheel 310 can be automatically adjusted according to the force applied to the driving wheel 310, effectively preventing the driving wheel 310 from being suspended and slipping.
[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the walking device 300 also includes a driving wheel mounting frame 360.

In this embodiment, the lifting drive unit 342 adopts an electric push rod. In other embodiments, the lifting drive unit 342 adopts a cylinder.
[0050] Specifically, the first connecting assembly 341 includes a first mounting plate 3411 and a second mounting plate 3412.

When the bridge intelligent detection device 10 fails, the anti-fall safety rope 700 and the power cable 800 jointly bear the gravity of the bridge intelligent detection device 10. The anti-fall safety rope 700 and the power cable 800 are retracted at the same time, which can prevent the risk of falling after the bridge intelligent detection device 10 fails.
[0058] When the intelligent bridge detection device 10 of the present invention is used, a control instruction is inputted into the terminal control module 430, and the instruction is transmitted to the control module 410 through the communication module 420. The control module 410 controls the chassis 100 to move on the bridge wall 600 according to the received instruction.
[0059] Among them, the chassis 100 needs to be adsorbed on the bridge wall 600 between walking. Specifically, the control module 410 controls the operation of the negative pressure generating mechanism 220 to provide negative pressure inside the sealed cavity 210. The first pressure detection unit 230 detects the pressure inside the sealed cavity 210 in real time and transmits the data to the control module 410. When a first pressure detection unit 230 detects that the pressure inside the sealed cavity 210 is lower than the set value, the control module 410 controls the corresponding negative pressure generating mechanism 220 to operate to provide negative pressure for the sealed cavity 210. When a first pressure detection unit 230 detects that the pressure inside the sealed cavity 210 is lower than the set value for a long time, the control module 410 controls the alarm mechanism 240 to issue an alarm to remind the staff that the negative pressure adsorption device 200 has a fault.
[0060] When the first pressure detection units 230 all detect that the pressure in the sealed cavity 210 is equal to the set value, the control module 410 controls the travel drive mechanism 320 and the rotary drive mechanism 330 to operate to drive the chassis 100 to move. It should be understood that the chassis 100 can only start to move after the first pressure detection units 230 all detect that the pressure in the sealed cavity 210 is equal to the set value. During the movement of the chassis 100, if the first pressure detection unit 230 detects that the pressure in the sealed cavity 210 is greater than or less than the set value, the chassis 100 will still move.
[0061] The second pressure detection unit 350 detects the pressure on the driving wheel 310 in real time and transmits the data to the control module 410. When the second pressure detection unit 350 detects that the pressure on the driving wheel 310 is less than the set value, the control module 410 controls the lifting mechanism 340 to operate to drive the driving wheel 310 to move downward. When the second pressure detection unit 350 detects that the pressure on the driving wheel 310 is greater than the set value, the control module 410 controls the lifting mechanism 340 to operate to drive the driving wheel 310 to move upward. According to the force applied to the driving wheel 310, the relative position of the driving wheel 310 is automatically adjusted to effectively prevent the driving wheel 310 from being suspended and slipping.
[0062] The image acquisition module 510 acquires the surface information of the area to be detected. The image capture unit transmits the acquired photos to the terminal control module 430 through the communication module 420, and the image processing unit completes the detection and identification of bridge defects.
[0063] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0064] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
