[0047] In order to achieve the purpose of improving the automation level of tunnel diagnosis and enhancing the efficiency of tunnel disease detection and diagnosis, the present invention proposes a tunnel diagnosis vehicle 100.
[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 9 In some embodiments of the present invention, the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 includes a vehicle body 10, a detection device, and a central control device. The detection device is installed on the vehicle body 10 and is used to collect tunnel data. The central control device is installed on the vehicle body 10 and includes a control module and a diagnostic module that are communicatively connected. The control module is communicatively connected to the detection device to collect tunnel data. The diagnostic module is used to integrate and process the tunnel data and output preliminary diagnostic results. The control module is communicatively connected to the cloud platform to upload the tunnel data for analysis and diagnosis.
[0049] In one embodiment, vehicle 10 is a self-powered, movable device. The central control device and detection equipment are mounted on vehicle 10 and move with vehicle 10 within tunnel 200. To ensure sufficient time for the detection equipment to collect data, vehicle 10 travels within tunnel 200 at a speed of 5 to 20 km / h.
[0050] The detection equipment includes, but is not limited to, equipment for detecting apparent tunnel defects and hidden tunnel defects. As the vehicle 10 travels through the tunnel 200, the detection equipment collects as comprehensive data as possible from both the surface and interior of the tunnel 200. Optionally, this data may include image information, electromagnetic pulse signals, and the like.
[0051] Optionally, the detection equipment is electrically connected to the central control device via a bus such as LIN / CAN or TCP-IP, allowing the control module to collect tunnel data collected by the detection equipment via the bus. The control module not only collects data but also generates and issues commands to control the coordinated operation of the various components of the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100.
[0052] The diagnostic module is used to analyze and integrate the tunnel data collected by the control module and quickly and timely provide preliminary diagnostic results. The preliminary diagnosis can identify defects including, but not limited to, large cracks or collapses on the surface of the tunnel 200, hollowness, etc.
[0053] In some embodiments, tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 can be remotely controlled or unmanned to move along tunnel 200 and perform tunnel 200 inspections. Generally, collected tunnel data requires a lengthy analysis and diagnosis process to obtain a detailed and comprehensive diagnostic result, which is then used to remedy tunnel 200 defects. However, in this embodiment, the diagnostic module can promptly provide diagnostic results for more obvious defects as a reference, allowing maintenance personnel to immediately remedy any obvious defects in tunnel 200 and avoid potential safety hazards.
[0054] In addition, the collected tunnel data is sent to the diagnostic module for preliminary diagnosis and uploaded to the cloud platform through communication equipment. A more detailed and comprehensive data analysis is performed on the cloud to obtain detailed diagnostic results and maintenance recommendations.
[0055] In one embodiment, the cloud platform is a big data platform that can perform operations such as comparing and analyzing the uploaded tunnel data in combination with information in a large database. Optionally, the central control device communicates with the cloud platform via a wireless communication device that supports Wi-Fi 6 to enable rapid data transmission and improve efficiency.
[0056] The tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 of the present application utilizes detection equipment and a central control device mounted on a vehicle body 10 capable of traveling along a tunnel 200. This allows the detection equipment to comprehensively collect data and information within the tunnel 200 as the vehicle body 10 moves, thereby improving detection efficiency. The control module collects tunnel data and simultaneously transmits it to the diagnostic module and uploads it to the cloud platform. The diagnostic module quickly delivers preliminary diagnostic results, enabling operations and maintenance personnel to promptly address significant tunnel 200 defects and avoid potential safety hazards. The cloud platform then conducts detailed and comprehensive data analysis and provides detailed diagnostic results. This ensures a comprehensive diagnosis of tunnel 200 defects while improving the level and efficiency of diagnosis, enabling timely remediation of some defects.
[0057] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment, the detection equipment includes an apparent disease detection equipment 20, a hidden disease detection equipment 30 and a tunnel deformation detection equipment. The apparent disease detection equipment 20, the hidden disease detection equipment 30 and the tunnel deformation detection equipment are arranged at intervals on the vehicle body 10 and are all electrically connected to the control module.
[0058] In this embodiment, the apparent disease detection equipment 20 is mainly used to detect cracks, water leakage and other disease information on the surface of the tunnel 200; the hidden disease detection equipment 30 is mainly used to detect internal cavities, steel bar corrosion and other disease information located inside the tunnel 200; the tunnel deformation detection equipment is used to scan the tunnel 200 and detect whether the tunnel 200 has collapse and other diseases. The control module is used to collect tunnel data collected by each detection equipment.
[0059] Furthermore, the apparent disease detection equipment 20, the hidden disease detection equipment 30 and the tunnel deformation detection equipment are independent of each other. The control module can perform time and space synchronization processing on the data information of each device, and can issue corresponding control instructions to the apparent disease detection equipment 20, the hidden disease detection equipment 30 and the tunnel deformation detection equipment to form feedback control.
[0060] In some embodiments, the tunnel deformation detection equipment is arranged at the rear end of the vehicle body 10 in the direction of travel. The vehicle body 10 includes a detection area 11 and a control area 12. The detection area 11 is provided with a detection space 11a. The apparent disease detection equipment 20 and the hidden disease detection equipment 30 are arranged in the detection space 11a. The control area 12 is arranged on at least one side of the detection area 11. The control area 12 is provided with a control space 12a. The central control equipment is arranged in the control space 12a.
[0061] In this embodiment, the detection area 11 and the control area 12 are arranged on the vehicle body 10. The detection space 11a is used to accommodate the apparent disease detection equipment 20 and the hidden disease detection equipment 30, and the control space 12a is used to accommodate the central control equipment, the control device of the vehicle body 10, etc. A cab can also be set in the control space 12a for convenient operation.
[0062] Specifically, in one embodiment, the control area 12 includes a first control room located at the front end of the vehicle body 10 in the direction of travel and a second control room located at the rear end of the vehicle body 10 in the direction of travel, the central control equipment is located in the first control room, the tunnel deformation detection equipment is located outside the second control room, and the detection area 11 is located between the first control room and the second control room.
[0063] Furthermore, the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 further includes an interactive device, which is disposed in the control space 12a and electrically connected to the central control device. The interactive device is used to display data and input commands.
[0064] Interactive devices are provided in both the first and second control rooms. The interactive devices include a display screen, a joystick, etc. The display screen can be used to display test data information, vehicle body 10 operation information, diagnostic results, etc., and the joystick is used to input control commands. Of course, the display screen can be a touch screen and can also be used to input control commands.
[0065] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the detection area 11 is provided with a hatch 111 covering the vehicle body 10 . The hatch 111 covers the vehicle body 10 and can be pushed and pulled along the length direction of the vehicle body 10 to open or close the detection space 11 a.
[0066] The hatch 111 of this embodiment is formed by connecting multiple sets of U-shaped folding plates. The hatch 111 is fastened to the vehicle body 10. Slide rails are provided on both sides of the vehicle body 10, and the ends of the folding plates are slidably connected to the slide rails. As will be understood, when the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 is in operation, the hatch 111 can be fully or partially opened to fully or partially expose the testing equipment to the outside world. When the operation is completed, the testing equipment is retracted within the testing space 11a, and the hatch 111 is closed to protect the testing equipment within the testing space 11a.
[0067] In other embodiments of the present application, the hatch 111 may also be opened to both sides of the vehicle body 10 , and its arrangement is not particularly limited herein.
[0068] Refer again Figure 3 In one embodiment, the hidden defect detection device 30 and the apparent defect detection device 20 are spaced apart along the length of the vehicle body 10, with the hidden defect detection device 30 positioned ahead of the apparent defect detection device 20 in the direction of travel. In this embodiment, the hidden defect detection device 30 and the apparent defect detection device 20 are fixed within the inspection space 11a at intervals to avoid mutual interference.
[0069] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the surface disease detection device 20 includes a visible light collection component 232 and an infrared light collection component 231 arranged toward the surface of the tunnel 200. The visible light collection component 232 and the infrared light collection component 231 are electrically connected to the control module to collect tunnel data.
[0070] In this embodiment, the apparent disease detection equipment 20 includes a mounting frame 21, a fill light device 22 and an image acquisition device 23. The mounting frame 21 is fixed to the vehicle body 10 and is provided with an arched mounting side 2121; the fill light device 22 is provided on the mounting frame 21 and is used to illuminate the surface of the tunnel 200; the image acquisition device 23 includes a plurality of visible light acquisition components 232 and a plurality of infrared light acquisition components 231. The plurality of visible light acquisition components 232 and the plurality of infrared light acquisition components 231 are arranged at intervals along the mounting side 2121 and face the surface of the tunnel 200 to collect tunnel data.
[0071] The mounting side edge 2121 is roughly arranged in a major arc, and the shape of the mounting side edge 2121 roughly matches the contour of the cross-sectional direction of the tunnel 200. Multiple visible light collection components 232 and multiple infrared light collection components 231 are arranged at intervals along the mounting side edge 2121. Thus, each visible light collection component 232 and infrared light collection component 231 collects images of the surface of the tunnel 200 in different directions.
[0072] It can be understood that the visible light collection component 232 and the infrared light collection component 231 are both connected to the control module, and the visible light and infrared light simultaneously collect images of a surface area. The control module collects image data and uses the imaging characteristics of cracks and other defect targets under different spectrum bands to perform data collaborative analysis, thereby locating the defect site.
[0073] On this basis, the visible light collection element 232 and the infrared light collection element 231 can be independently controlled through software, and a synchronization framework can be established between the two to facilitate collaborative analysis. Furthermore, the control module can calculate and stitch together the images collected by multiple visible light collection elements 232 and multiple infrared light collection elements 231 to obtain complete image information.
[0074] Optionally, the visible light collection element 232 may be a high-precision camera unit with a resolution of 0.2 mm / pix (pixel), and the infrared light collection element 231 may be an infrared imaging unit with a resolution of ±0.2°C to improve accuracy and recognition rate.
[0075] The fill light device 22 is used to illuminate the surface of the tunnel 200 to ensure the brightness of the field of view, thereby ensuring the imaging quality of the image.
[0076] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the arched mounting edge 2121 conforms to the contours of the tunnel 200. Multiple visible light collection elements 232 and infrared light collection elements 231 arranged along the mounting edge 2121 can capture images from different locations on the tunnel 200 surface. A fill light device 22 illuminates the tunnel 200 surface. The visible light collection elements 232 and infrared light collection elements 231 can operate independently or simultaneously. The image data collected by the multiple visible light collection elements 232 and infrared light collection elements 231 can be spliced and / or collaboratively processed by the control module to ensure image data integrity, improve the precision and accuracy of identifying surface defects on the tunnel 200, and enhance detection efficiency.
[0077] Reference Figure 5 In one embodiment, the apparent disease detection equipment 20 of the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 further includes a plurality of first distance measuring devices 24, which are connected to the outer surface of the mounting frame 21 and spaced apart along the mounting side 2121. In this embodiment, the apparent disease detection equipment 20 includes three first distance measuring devices 24, which face the arch crown and the spandrels on both sides, and record the distance between the surface of the tunnel 200 in real time as a reference for data analysis. For example, when the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 turns, the distance between the two sides of the spandrel will change, which may cause problems with the camera's focus and lead to blurred images. The first distance measuring devices 24 record this change in real time. When data analysis is performed, the location and cause of the blurred data can be clearly known, facilitating subsequent analysis and improving efficiency.
[0078] The hidden disease detection equipment 30 is provided with multiple robotic arm tooling and multiple radar antennas 35, and the multiple robotic arm tooling is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vehicle body 10; a radar antenna 35 is connected to the end of a robotic arm tooling away from the vehicle body 10, and the robotic arm tooling and the radar antenna 35 are electrically connected to the control module.
[0079] Reference Figure 3 、 Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the hidden disease detection equipment 30 includes a support device 31 and at least three radar antennas 35. The support device 31 is connected to the vehicle body 10, and the support device 31 includes at least three robotic arm tooling. Each robotic arm tooling is provided with a robotic arm 32. The ends of the at least three robotic arms 32 away from the vehicle body 10 are spaced apart along the cross-sectional direction of the tunnel 200. A radar antenna 35 is correspondingly provided at the end of each robotic arm 32 away from the vehicle body 10.
[0080] In one embodiment, the radar antenna 35 uses a set frequency of 600 MHz for detection, ensuring that the data image is complete and clear to a large extent.
[0081] A radar antenna 35 is secured to the body 10 of the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 via a support device 31. As the vehicle 100 advances, it detects and collects data from the tunnel 200 surrounding the corresponding measurement line. The ends of at least three robotic arms 32 are spaced apart to correspond to measurement lines at different locations within the tunnel 200. This ensures comprehensive data collection within the tunnel 200 while also preventing interference between closely spaced radar antennas 35.
[0082] Optionally, the number of the robotic arms 32 may be three, five, or seven, etc., and the robotic arms 32 may be disposed on one side or both sides of the forward direction of the vehicle body 10 .
[0083] By connecting multiple robotic arms 32 with multiple radar antennas 35, various parts of the tunnel 200 can be detected during the movement of the vehicle body 10, so as to comprehensively and quickly detect hidden diseases inside the tunnel 200 and collect data, thereby improving detection efficiency and increasing the degree of automation.
[0084] Refer to 7 and Figure 8 Specifically, in another embodiment, the support device 31 is equipped with a crown fixture 311, two spandrel fixtures 312, two haunch fixtures 313, and two foot fixtures 314. The two spandrel fixtures 312 are symmetrically located on either side of the vehicle body 10, the two haunch fixtures 313 are symmetrically located on either side of the vehicle body 10, and the two foot fixtures 314 are symmetrically located on either side of the vehicle body 10. That is, in this embodiment, the support device 31 includes seven robotic arms 32, one for each fixture. Each robotic arm 32 is positioned corresponding to a respective survey line, thus being evenly spaced along the end face of the tunnel 200 to enable comprehensive tunnel 200 detection. The tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 can conveniently collect comprehensive tunnel data in a single single pass, enabling comprehensive tunnel 200 defect analysis.
[0085] In order to evenly distribute the weight and ensure the stability of the vehicle body 10, the arch tooling 311 is arranged in the middle of the vehicle body 10, and the other toolings are arranged symmetrically in pairs.
[0086] In one embodiment, at least two radar antennas 35 are disposed at the bottom of the vehicle body 10 to detect the damage of the track slab, thereby further improving the comprehensiveness of the hidden damage detection device 30 .
[0087] In one embodiment, the radar antenna 35 is provided with a second ranging device facing the surface of the tunnel 200. The second ranging device is used to detect and record the distance between the radar antenna 35 and the surface of the tunnel 200 in real time, which can be used as a parameter for judging abnormal tunnel data or as a data reference for control logic.
[0088] Furthermore, the robotic arm tooling is provided with a telescopic robotic arm 32 .
[0089] The robotic arm 32 may be a multi-joint robotic arm 32, comprising at least two joints 321 and at least one extension arm 322. Each joint 321 is provided with at least one rotating shaft, and the ends of the extension arm 322 are respectively connected to the rotating shafts of two different joints 321. Rotation of the rotating shaft causes the extension arm 322 to rotate, thereby achieving extension and retraction of the robotic arm 32.
[0090] Specifically, refer to Figure 9 In one embodiment, the robotic arm 32 includes a first joint, a second joint, and a third joint. The first joint includes a first rotating shaft 321a and a second rotating shaft 321b located on one side of the first rotating shaft 321a. The first rotating shaft 321a is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 10. The second joint includes a third rotating shaft 321c. The third joint includes a fourth rotating shaft 321d, a fifth rotating shaft 321e located at one end of the fourth rotating shaft 321d, and a sixth rotating shaft 321f located at one end of the fifth rotating shaft 321e. The sixth rotating shaft 321f is configured to connect to the radar antenna 35. The robotic arm 32 also includes a first extending arm 322a and a second extending arm 322b. The first extending arm 322a connects the second rotating shaft 321b and the third rotating shaft 321c, and the second extending arm 322b connects the third rotating shaft 321c and the fourth rotating shaft 321d. The robotic arm 32 of this embodiment is a six-axis robotic arm 32, which has a high degree of freedom, is quick and convenient to extend and retract, and is highly efficient.
[0091] Of course, the robotic arm can also be a multi-stage telescopic robotic arm 32, which is not limited here.
[0092] It can be understood that the tunnel data detected by the radar antenna 35 is collected by the control module, and the control module can also issue control instructions to the robotic arm 32 to control the contraction and extension of the robotic arm 32.
[0093] In one embodiment, a detector is provided at the end of the robotic arm 32 away from the vehicle body 10. The detector is used to detect obstacles in the direction of travel of the radar antenna 35. The detector can be a probe or a millimeter-wave radar. It will be understood that both the robotic arm 32 and the detector are electrically connected to the control module. When the detector detects an obstacle in the travel path, it generates a signal containing obstacle information. After collecting this signal, the control module calculates and generates a corresponding instruction, which is sent to the robotic arm 32, causing it to retract. This allows the radar antenna 35 to maintain a safe distance from the tunnel 200 surface, avoiding obstacles, thereby ensuring the safety of the detection process and protecting the equipment.
[0094] Furthermore, an obstacle avoidance radar 40 is installed at the front end of the vehicle 10 in the direction of travel. The obstacle avoidance radar 40 is electrically connected to the control module. In one embodiment, the obstacle avoidance radar 40, the second ranging device, and the detection unit cooperate to achieve obstacle avoidance. The obstacle avoidance radar 40 is used to detect obstacles on the surface of the tunnel 200 and in front of the tunnel 200 to prevent collisions with the vehicle 10. The obstacle avoidance radar 40 has low detection accuracy for obstacles on the surface of the tunnel 200, while the detection unit can accurately detect obstacles on the surface of the tunnel 200 in front of the robot arm 32 in the direction of travel. The second ranging device is used to detect and record the distance between the radar antenna 35 and the surface of the tunnel 200 in real time.
[0095] Specifically, when the obstacle avoidance radar 40 and / or the detector detects an obstacle and requires avoidance, the control module controls the robotic arm 32 to retract. This increases the distance between the radar antenna 35 and the surface of the tunnel 200. This distance is recorded in real time by the second distance measuring device and can be used as a basis for identifying abnormal tunnel data. In other words, when the data is collated, the abnormal distance can be used to determine that the robotic arm 32 has performed an obstacle avoidance maneuver, that the tunnel data is inaccurate, and that an abnormal protrusion is present on the surface of the tunnel 200.
[0096] Furthermore, the second ranging device can cooperate with the movement of the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100. When performing line scanning, tunnel data recording begins only when the wheels 13 of the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 rotate to generate pulse signals and the second ranging device detects that the position of the radar antenna 35 is within a specified range. If either of the above two conditions is missing, data recording will stop, thereby ensuring the validity of the collected tunnel data and reducing the impact of abnormal data.
[0097] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the tunnel deformation detection device is a three-dimensional laser radar 50, which is disposed in the middle of the rear end of the vehicle body 10 so that the three-dimensional laser radar 50 can better scan the tunnel 200 and establish a tunnel 200 model.
[0098] Reference Figure 3In one embodiment, the tunnel diagnostic vehicle 100 is further provided with a power device 60, which is disposed at the bottom of the vehicle body 10 and electrically connected to the control module; at least two pairs of wheels 13 are disposed at the bottom of the vehicle body 10, and the output end of the power device 60 is transmission-connected to at least one pair of wheels 13 to drive the wheels 13 to rotate.
[0099] Optionally, the power device 60 may be a motor drive device with an energy storage device, and the output end of the motor is connected to the wheel 13 via a gear or chain.
[0100] Optionally, the wheel 13 may be a rail wheel for moving on a rail; the wheel 13 may also be an ordinary wheel 13 to adapt to ordinary road conditions.
