[0002] At present, the arching or sinking of the roadbed has always been a problem that plagues transportation engineering construction. Since 2015, the track elevation arching phenomenon has continued to occur in multiple roadbed sections of high-speed railways, and the expansion and deformation of these roadbed sections with arching phenomenon are still developing. The arching amount of the turnout in the most serious section has exceeded 100mm, seriously affecting the normal operation of the train. In addition, the high-speed railway has a high operating speed and high requirements for line smoothness, and its roadbed deformation requirements are also more stringent. At the same time, how to measure the arching and sinking of the roadbed in the horizontal hole has always been a technical difficulty.
[0003] CN110485399A discloses a device for measuring the internal settlement deformation of a roadbed, which uses a telescopic member and a displacement plate. When the roadbed settles, the displacement plate at the upper end will be displaced.

Through the cooperation of the lead-out pipe, the telescopic member, and the seeding block, the internal deformation of the roadbed is characterized by the rise and fall of the connecting rope extending out of one end of the lead-out pipe, thereby realizing indirect measurement of the roadbed deformation. The above technical solution installs the telescopic member, the three-way component, and the lead-out pipe on the roadbed, which affects the excavation and filling work above the roadbed.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific situations.
[0032] The present invention provides a measuring device for measuring the upheaval and subsidence of a roadbed in a horizontal hole, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the measuring device includes a steel casing 20 inserted into a horizontal hole in the lower soil mass 11 of the roadbed 10. The bottom of the steel casing 20 has a plurality of measurement ports 21 arranged at intervals along its length direction. Figure 1 Only two measurement ports 21 are schematically shown in . In practice, the spacing and number of the measurement ports 21 should be set according to the length of the steel casing 20 and the detection points. A plurality of probe devices 30 corresponding to the plurality of measurement ports 21 are installed in the steel casing 20. One probe device 30 is correspondingly arranged at one measurement port 21. The probe device 30 can detect the upheaval amount or subsidence amount of the roadbed 10 at the measurement port 21 through the measurement port 21.
[0033] The steel casing 20 of the present invention is inserted into a horizontal hole drilled in the subgrade 10 in the lower layer of the soil mass 11. The probe device 30 is also installed in the horizontal hole together with the steel casing 20, which has little influence on the excavation and filling work above the measurement position. In practice, multiple measuring devices can be arranged in a network on the same plane. According to the actual situation, the length of the steel casing 20 can reach dozens to hundreds of meters. When the length of the steel casing 20 is short, the steel casing 20 will arch and sink together with the subgrade 10.
[0034] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple probe devices 30 are installed on a connecting plate 40, and the connecting plate 40 is connected with a conveying device for conveying it into the interior of the steel casing 20. Specifically, the conveying device includes a runner 51 rotatably installed in the steel casing 20 and a conveying chain 52 wound around the runner 51 and connected thereto. The inner end of the steel casing 20 is blocked, the runner 51 is arranged close to the inner end of the steel casing 20, and the runner 51 is connected with the steel casing 20 through a bracket. The connecting plate 40 is fixedly connected with the conveying chain 52. By pulling the conveying chain 52, the connecting plate 40 can move along the length direction of the steel casing 20. Thus, the probe device 30 is conveyed from outside the steel casing 20 to the measurement port 21 inside the steel casing 20 by moving the connecting plate 40.
[0035] In this embodiment, the runner 51 is a sprocket, and the conveying chain 52 is a chain meshing with the sprocket; or the runner 51 is a pulley, and the conveying chain 52 is a belt connected with the pulley. The conveying chain 52 is a strip-shaped chain. The two end portions of the strip-shaped chain far from the runner 51 are free ends. The two sides of the strip-shaped chain wound around the runner 51 are parallel to each other and extend along the length direction of the steel casing 20 to the outside of the steel casing 20. The connecting plate 40 is fixedly connected with one side below the conveying chain 52. A fixing device 60 for fixing the two free ends of the strip-shaped chain is connected to the inner wall of the steel casing 20. The fixing device 60 can be a fixing rope, a buckle or a fixing bracket.
[0036] As Figure 2 shown, the operator pulls one side above the conveying chain 52 to the left. Through the rotation of the runner 51, one side below the conveying chain 52 moves to the right, so that the probe device 30 moves into the interior of the steel casing 20. After the probe device 30 moves to the corresponding measurement port 21, the conveying chain 52 is tightened, and the conveying chain 52 is fixed at the upper fixing point A and the lower fixing point B with the fixing device 60, thereby realizing the fixing of the position of the probe device 30.
[0037] It should be noted that the conveying chain 52 can also be set as a loop chain. The conveying device further includes a self-locking support wheel arranged away from the runner 51. The support wheel is also connected to the steel sleeve 20 through a bracket. The loop chain is sleeved outside the runner 51 and the support wheel at the same time. After the probe device 30 moves to the measurement port 21, the support wheel is locked to prevent it from rotating, so as to fix the position of the probe device 30, or the conveying chain 52 is fixed by the fixing device 60 on the inner wall of the steel sleeve 20.
[0038] As Figure 3 shown, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the probe device 30 includes a base 31 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 40, a pulley 33 installed on the base 31 and capable of sliding on the inner wall of the steel sleeve 20, and a ranging probe 35 installed on the base 31 for measuring the upward arch or subsidence of the roadbed 10. The signal output end of the ranging probe 35 is connected to the input end of the controller. When pulling the conveying chain 52 to send the probe device 30 into the steel sleeve 20, the pulley 33 slides on the inner wall of the steel sleeve 20, which is beneficial to sending the probe device 30 into the steel sleeve 20.
[0039] In this embodiment, the ranging probe 35 is a laser ranging probe or a contact type ranging probe; when the ranging probe 35 is a contact type ranging probe, a support 34 for adjusting the height is connected to the lower end of the base 31, and the contact type ranging probe is installed on the support 34. When the ranging probe 35 is a laser ranging probe, the support 34 may not be provided.
[0040] As Figure 3 shown, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lug 32 is fixedly connected to each side of the base 31, and a pulley 33 is rotatably connected to the lower end of each lug 32. Further preferably, two limiting blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steel sleeve 20 and are respectively located above the two pulleys 33. The two pulleys 33 are restricted by the two limiting blocks 22 and cannot move circumferentially in the steel sleeve 20, ensuring the circumferential position of the probe device 30.
[0041] As Figure 2 shown, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the probe device 30 further includes a water immersion probe 36 installed on the base 31. A drain pipe 70 connected to a water pump is also installed in the steel sleeve 20. The signal output end of the water immersion probe 36 is connected to the enabling end of the water pump. Specifically, a drain pipe 70 can be arranged between 2-3 probe devices 30 inside the steel sleeve 20. The water immersion probe 36 is used to judge the water immersion and water accumulation positions and record the water immersion time. When there is water accumulation in the steel sleeve 20, the water pump is started to drain the water accumulation in the steel sleeve 20 through the drain pipe 70.
