Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of special surveying equipment for subway track construction, and particularly relates to a track settlement measurement device. Background Technique
[0002] Track settlement refers to the phenomenon of irregular ground subsidence where the ground foundation for laying tracks collapses due to its bearing capacity being unable to meet the transportation load requirements. This phenomenon is particularly evident in underground tunnel areas with soft foundation texture and rich water resources. The track settlement phenomenon can cause local stress concentration on the track, accelerate track damage, and thus lead to rapid track aging, posing a huge safety hazard to the safe operation of trains. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly measure the track to promptly detect and handle the track settlement phenomenon.
[0003] Currently, the measurement of track settlement mainly relies on settlement observation instruments. The use of settlement observation instruments requires first fixedly installing a leveling observation object as a reference and leveling itself. However, the installation of the reference object and the leveling process itself are rather cumbersome. When the measurement target mileage is long and there are many measurement points, the workload will increase significantly, resulting in a low progress efficiency of the measurement work. In addition, the observation requirements of the settlement observation instrument are for an open field of view and good light, while the actual environmental conditions in underground tunnels are poor, making it difficult to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.
[0004] Regarding the above related technologies, the inventor believes that the existing track settlement measurement equipment has the defects of cumbersome operation and low measurement efficiency, and has high requirements for the use environment, and is not suitable for track measurement in underground tunnels.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0036] The following will Figure 1 - be further described in detail with reference to the Figure 4 drawings to this application.
[0037] The foundation texture of the underground tunnel is relatively soft, and the underground water resources are relatively rich, making the track settlement phenomenon prone to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly measure the tracks in the underground tunnel. Currently, the common track settlement measurement equipment is a settlement observation instrument. The use of the settlement observation instrument requires a horizontal observation object to be set in advance as a reference object, and the settlement observation instrument needs to be leveled before use. If the track mileage to be measured is long, the workload of using the settlement observation instrument for track settlement measurement is extremely large. In addition, the environmental conditions in the underground tunnel are difficult to meet the requirements of the settlement observation instrument for the environment. In order to improve the efficiency of the track settlement measurement work in the underground tunnel and simplify the operation process of the measurement equipment, this application provides a track settlement measurement device.
[0038] An embodiment of this application discloses a track settlement measurement device. Refer to Figure 1, the track settlement measurement device includes a tractor 1 and a detection mechanism 2.

A limiting cylinder is vertically arranged on the upper surface of the top cover 212. The limiting cylinder can be a hollow cylinder communicating with the bottom shell 211, and the inner wall of the limiting cylinder is provided with internal threads. The limiting cylinder sleeves the bottom of the top pressing assembly 22 and is in threaded cooperation with the top pressing assembly 22. The number of the connecting blocks 23 is 2. The two connecting blocks 23 are mirror-symmetrical about the center of the box body 21, are respectively installed on both sides of the box body 21, and are slidably connected with the box body 21 along the direction perpendicular to the ground. A roller 231 is installed at the position where the connecting block 23 contacts the upper surface of the track by a rotational connection method. The roller 231 can be a solid metal cylinder with an axis perpendicular to the track length direction. The number of the rollers 231 on each connecting block 23 can be 2, and the two rollers 231 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the connecting block 23 about the central position. A plurality of compression springs 24 are installed in the box body 21, and the compression springs 24 are in a compressed state. One end of the compression spring 24 abuts against the lower surface of the top cover 212, and the other end abuts against the upper surface of the connecting block 23 located in the box body 21. Each connecting block 23 is provided with 3 compression springs 24. The compression springs 24 are evenly arranged along the length direction of the connecting block 23. The detection head 25 is installed at the bottom of the box body 21 and penetrates through the lower surface of the bottom shell 211. The detection head 25 is in threaded connection with the bottom shell 211, and a pressure sensor is installed at the detection end of the detection head 25, which can judge whether the connecting block 23 is in contact. The detection head 25 is electrically connected with the detection device, and the detection device can record the position and time when the detection head 25 generates an electrical signal. Two positioning wheels 26 are symmetrically installed on each connecting block 23. The axle of the positioning wheel 26 penetrates through the connecting block 23 and is in threaded cooperation with the connecting block 23. The positioning wheel 26 abuts against the outer side surface of the rail. A cylindrical spur gear is fixedly sleeved on the axle of the positioning wheel 26.
[0040] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the top pressing assembly 22 includes a screw rod 221, a top plate 222 and a supporting wheel 223. Among them, the screw rod 221 is arranged through the box body 21 and is in threaded cooperation with the limiting cylinder structure on the top cover 212. The top of the screw rod 221 is rotatably connected to the top plate 222. Four supporting wheels 223 are installed on the upper surface of the top plate 222. The supporting wheel 223 is hinged to the top plate 222. A chain transmission wheel is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the screw rod 221, and the chain transmission wheel can be chain transmission connected to the motor output shaft on the tractor 1, so as to adjust the rotation and lifting of the screw rod 221 by using the tractor 1.

Among them, the wheel shaft of the synchronous gear 271 is arranged through the connecting block 23 and is rotatably connected to the block. The synchronous gear 271 is simultaneously meshed with the cylindrical spur gears on the wheel shafts of the two positioning wheels 26 on the same connecting block 23. The rocker 272 is installed on the wheel shaft of the synchronous gear 271 by means of hinge, and shaking the rocker 272 can control the rotation of the synchronous gear 271. At the same time, the rocker 272 can be rotated and stored inside to reduce space occupation.
[0042] The implementation principle of a track settlement measurement device according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: The user first uses a chain to connect the drive motor on the tractor 1 and the screw rod 221, so that the screw rod 221 rotates under the drive of the drive motor to lift the top plate 222 until the part of the connecting block 23 located inside the box body 21 is separated from the detection head 25, and then the motor is stopped. At this time, adjust the included angle between the supporting wheel 223 and the top plate 222 according to the bending angle of the tunnel top, so that the supporting wheel 223 can vertically contact the top of the underground tunnel. By rotating and adjusting the height position of the detection head 25 according to the detection requirements, the detection sensitivity of the present application can be changed. Connect the detection head 25 and the detection device, and start the tractor 1 to detect the settlement of the track.
[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
