TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of bridge detection, and particularly relates to a box girder internal all-around inspection vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, among the bridges built in China, the main girder of many bridges, especially large-span bridges, uses box girder structure. The box girder is usually divided into many segments, which are processed and manufactured in a factory and then transported to the site for assembly. Due to the collision and friction of the box girder during transportation and hoisting, problems such as scratch of the inner and outer surface coating may occur. In the process of welding construction, welding burn may also occur. The environment of the bridge itself is usually relatively harsh, and the bridge is subjected to vehicle load, wind load and other external forces for a long time. Especially for bridges over rivers, they are also in an environment with relatively heavy air humidity. The box girder is more prone to corrosion and fatigue damage, and problems such as cracks, coating falling off, weld defects, and high-strength bolt loosening often occur. In order to ensure the safety of the bridge life, it is necessary to regularly inspect, maintain and repair the inside of the box girder.
[0003] The height of the inside of the box girder is usually more than 3 meters. The bottom and top of the box girder use U-shaped ribbed ribs. The height of the ribbed rib is usually relatively high, and the distribution interval is relatively large. The existing research on bridge inspection equipment mainly focuses on the outside of the box girder. The manual inspection of the inside of the box girder is usually the main method. Manual inspection not only requires carrying a large amount of inspection equipment, but also requires being in a closed space for a long time. For large-span bridge inspection work, the labor consumption is huge, and the efficiency is relatively low. It is also difficult to inspect some relatively high spaces. At present, the inspection equipment for the inside of the box girder includes a track inspection vehicle, but this inspection vehicle cannot completely reach all positions inside the box girder including the top plate of the box girder without leaving the track.
