Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of bridge deck crack detection equipment, and in particular, relates to a bridge deck crack detection device for a steel-concrete variable cross-section continuous box girder bridge. Background Art

[0002] With the development of large-span bridges, the development trend of bridge structure design is to rationally utilize the organizational properties of various materials, improve the comprehensive ability to resist natural disasters, and ensure the lowest cost during the service life. The hybrid beam structure is a specific embodiment of material optimization. The large-span steel-concrete hybrid variable-section continuous box girder in the span range of 180-350 meters can effectively solve the problems of new bridges crossing the river with one span, limited side spans, and limited clearance. The large-span variable-section continuous box girder bridge uses a section of steel box girder in the middle of the span, which can effectively reduce the beam height in the middle of the span, shorten the length of the side span and approach bridge, reduce the cantilever casting construction links, engineering volume and high-altitude operation risks, effectively shorten the construction period, and significantly reduce the project cost.

[0003] The core stress position of the large-span steel-concrete continuous box girder bridge with variable cross-section is the steel-concrete joint section. During the construction process, the steel structure at the steel-concrete joint section limits the shrinkage of concrete, which is easy to cause cracks at this position; during the operation period, this position is subject to alternating bending moments, which is also easy to cause cracks. The cracks at this position will directly cause water vapor to enter the joint surface, affecting the durability of the structure. If the cracks at this position cannot be discovered and repaired in time, it will affect the safety of the bridge. However, the top surface of the steel-concrete joint section is generally covered with asphalt pavement. If cracks occur at this position, they will be reflected to the asphalt pavement layer, causing the pavement layer to crack. However, when the bridge is open to traffic, checking the cracks on the asphalt pavement layer on the top surface of the steel-concrete joint section not only affects the traffic efficiency, but also threatens the safety of maintenance personnel; moreover, when the cracks are observed by the naked eye, the crack width is already too large, and manual inspection cannot timely detect the cracking disease at the steel-concrete joint section and block it in time. Therefore, a crack detection device that can be fast and efficient without affecting traffic is needed to ensure the high-level operation of the steel-concrete continuous box girder bridge with variable cross-section.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN111665262A discloses a mobile bridge crack detection device, including a detection mechanism and a fixing mechanism, wherein the detection mechanism includes a detection mechanism housing, a detector and a camera; the detector and the camera are fixedly mounted on the detection mechanism housing. The mobile detection mechanism can drive the detector and the camera to move on the bridge surface to detect cracks on the bridge surface, and the detector and the camera cooperate to detect whether cracks are generated on the bridge surface, but the crack depth cannot be accurately detected, so the hazard level of the detected cracks to the bridge cannot be determined, and further, it cannot help the staff to formulate corresponding maintenance strategies according to the hazard level of the bridge.

[0005] Chinese patent CN207317677U discloses a crack depth detector, including a host and a transducer, the host and the transducer are connected by a connecting line, the transducer is provided with a measuring ruler, the measuring ruler is provided with a storage cavity for storing coupling agent, the storage cavity is provided with a push block, the storage cavity is provided with an outlet for coupling agent to be extruded, one side of the measuring ruler is provided with a driving mechanism for extruding coupling agent, the driving mechanism includes a push rod slidably connected to the measuring ruler, the push rod extends out of the measuring ruler, a transmission mechanism for linking the push rod and the push block is provided between the push rod and the push block, and a spring for resetting is provided on the measuring ruler, one end of the spring is fixed to the push rod, and the other end is fixed to the measuring ruler. Among them, by detecting the coordination of the host, the transducer, the measuring ruler and the coupling agent, the crack depth can be accurately measured, so that it is convenient for the staff to formulate corresponding maintenance strategies according to the crack depth. However, when using the detector, the surveyor needs to apply coupling agent on the transducer, and then adjust the distance between the two transducers and the crack by means of a measuring ruler, and finally the transducer detects the depth of the crack. The operation is cumbersome and the detection efficiency is low. When the detector is used for bridge detection, it takes a long time and will affect the normal traffic of the bridge. Moreover, it requires manual operation for crack detection, and there are many vehicles passing on the bridge. Even if corresponding roadblocks are set up for isolation during detection, there are still certain safety hazards for the inspectors. Summary of the invention

[0044] The steel-concrete variable cross-section continuous box girder bridge 100 includes variable cross-section concrete beam sections 101 on both sides of the bridge body and steel box girder sections 102 installed between the variable cross-section concrete beam sections 101 at both ends; when detecting cracks on the bridge deck, one end of the connecting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bridge engineering vehicle 200, so that the bridge engineering vehicle 200 drives the mobile trolley 1 to perform mobile detection on the bridge deck of the steel-concrete variable cross-section continuous box girder bridge 100, and the angle adjustment component 3, the detection component 4 and the coupling agent component 5 on the mobile trolley 1 are connected to the central control system in the bridge engineering vehicle 200 through connecting lines, so that the staff can operate the detection device in the vehicle;

[0045] When the camera 43 detects a crack on the bridge deck, the staff first drives the mobile car 1 and the camera 43 to move by the bridge engineering vehicle 200 until the camera 43 moves to the top of the crack on the bridge deck, and then drives the adjustment plate 34 to rotate by the rotation drive unit, so that the adjustment plate 34 is perpendicular to the crack on the bridge deck, so that the two transducers 44 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the crack on the bridge deck, and then drives the two moving seats 42 to move in opposite directions at the same speed by the bidirectional translation drive unit, thereby driving the two transducers 44 to move in opposite directions at the same speed to adjust the distance between the transducer 44 and the crack on the bridge deck. When the moving seat 42 moves past the position of the bracket plate 51, the bottom end of the transducer 44 moves past the top surface of the cleaning brush 54, and at the same time, the moving seat 42 drives the rotating unit and the cleaning brush 54 to rotate through the transmission unit, so that the cleaning brush 54 rotates and cleans the bottom surface of the transducer 44 when the transducer 44 passes through the transducer 44, so that the top surface of the transducer 44 remains clean. After that, the transducer 44 continues to move through the position of the coupling agent coating unit, and the coupling agent coating unit coats the coupling agent on the bottom surface of the transducer 44; when the transducer 44 moves a certain distance to reach the corresponding detection position, the lifting drive unit drives the transducer 44 downward, so that the bottom surface of the transducer 44 is coupled with the coupling agent and is tightly attached to the bridge deck, and the two transducers 44 cooperate to perform ultrasonic detection on the bridge to detect the depth of the cracks. After the detection, the lifting drive unit drives the transducer 44 upward to reset, so that the bottom surface of the transducer 44 is separated from the bridge deck, and then the two transducers 44 are driven to continue to move in the opposite direction by the bidirectional translation drive unit, and the distance between the transducer 44 and the bridge deck crack is increased, and then the lifting drive unit drives the transducer 44 downward to detect the bridge deck cracks, and in this way, the two transducers 44 cooperate to detect the bridge deck cracks 3-4 times to improve the detection accuracy of the cracks;

[0046] When the detection is completed, the transducer 44 is driven upward by the lifting drive unit to reset and separate from the bridge deck, and then the two moving seats 42 are driven to move toward each other for reset by the bidirectional translation drive unit, thereby driving the two transducers 44 to move toward each other for reset. When the moving seat 42 resets and moves past the position of the bracket plate 51, the bottom end of the transducer 44 moves past the top surface of the cleaning brush 54, and at the same time, the moving seat 42 drives the rotating unit and the cleaning brush 54 to rotate again through the transmission unit, so that the cleaning brush 54 rotates and cleans the bottom surface of the transducer 44, removes the coupling agent remaining on the bottom surface of the transducer 44, prevents the coupling agent from drying and adhering to the bottom surface of the transducer 44, and ensures the subsequent normal use of the transducer 44.

[0047] In the present invention, a coupling agent is applied to the transducer 44 by a coupling agent coating unit, and the angle and the distance between the transducer 44 and the cracks on the bridge deck are adjusted by an angle adjustment component 3 and a bidirectional translation drive unit. Finally, the transducer 44 is driven downward by the lifting drive unit to abut against the bridge deck to detect the cracks on the bridge deck. Compared with manual detection, this embodiment performs detection by automatically driving the transducer 44 through the cooperation of various components, which can improve the efficiency of crack detection, shorten the time used for overall crack detection on the bridge, and reduce the impact of crack detection on bridge traffic. At the same time, the detection component 4 and the coupling agent component 5 are installed on the mobile trolley 1, and the mobile trolley 1 is connected to the bridge engineering vehicle 200 through the connecting frame 2, so that when detecting cracks on the bridge, the mobile trolley 1 and the detection component 5 can be driven by the bridge engineering vehicle 200. The component 4 and the coupling agent component 5 move on the bridge deck without the need for manual movement of the detection component 4 and the coupling agent component 5 on the bridge, thereby improving the safety of detection personnel during crack detection. At the same time, the driving of the bridge engineering vehicle 200 can increase the overall moving speed of the detection device, thereby further improving the detection efficiency and shortening the time required for bridge crack detection; and when the transducer 44 moves, the transmission unit drives the rotating unit and the cleaning brush 54 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 54 rotates and cleans the bottom surface of the transducer 44 when the transducer 44 passes by, removes dust and residual coupling agent adhered to the bottom surface of the transducer 44, so that the bottom surface of the transducer 44 is kept clean, ensuring that the transducer 44 can fit with the bridge deck under the action of the coupling agent when in use, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the transducer, and making the depth detection of bridge deck cracks more accurate.

[0053] Among them, the protective baffle 412 shields and protects the bottom surface of the transducer 44 to prevent the transducer 44 from being damaged by collision with debris splashed from the bridge deck during movement, and at the same time prevents dust and the like from adhering to the bottom surface of the transducer 44, so that the bottom surface of the transducer remains clean; and when the transducer 44 moves past the position of the bracket plate 51, the baffle driving rack 414 and the baffle driving gear 413 engage with each other, and the baffle driving gear 413 starts to rotate under the drive of the baffle driving rack 414, and drives one end of the protective baffle 412 to rotate away from the bottom surface of the transducer 44, so that the protective baffle 412 no longer blocks the bottom of the transducer 44, thereby enabling the transducer 44 to be used normally subsequently, and the protective baffle 412 rotates past the bristle position of the cleaning brush 54, and can scrape and clean the bristles of the cleaning brush 54, thereby removing the debris remaining on the bristles, so as to improve the subsequent cleaning effect of the cleaning brush 54 on the transducer 44.

The coupling agent storage bottle 58 is fixedly mounted on the back of the bracket plate 51. The outlet of the coating head 52 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the bracket plate 51 with the outlet facing upward. The coupling agent storage bottle 58 is connected to the coating head 52 through the conduit 53, and a hydraulic pump 59 is installed on the conduit 53. When the transducer 44 moves over the coating head 52, the hydraulic pump 59 is turned on, and the coupling agent in the coupling agent storage bottle 58 is pumped out from the outlet on the top surface of the coating head 52 by the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic pump 59, so as to coat the coupling agent to the bottom surface of the transducer 44.

[0055] See also Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of dispersedly arranged coupling agent outlets are provided on the top surface of the coating head 52. By providing a plurality of coupling agent outlets, the coupling agent can be dispersedly coated on the bottom surface of the transducer 44 when pumped out, so that the coupling agent is more evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the transducer 44, so that the transducer 44 fits more closely with the bridge deck when in use.

[0056] See also Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the transmission unit includes a transmission shaft 55, a driven gear 56 and a translation rack 57. The transmission shaft 55 is rotatably mounted on the back of the bracket plate 51, the driven gear 56 is fixedly mounted on the top of the transmission shaft 55, and the translation rack 57 is fixedly mounted on the back of the moving seat 42 and is tangent to the driven gear 56; the rotation unit includes a driving wheel 510, a rotating shaft 512 and a driven wheel 513. The rotating shaft 512 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the bracket plate 51, a cleaning brush 54 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the rotating shaft 512, and a driven wheel 513 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the rotating shaft 512. The driving wheel 510 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the transmission shaft 55, and the driving wheel 510 and the driven wheel 513 are connected through a transmission belt 511.

[0057] When the movable seat 42 moves past the position of the bracket plate 51, the movable seat 42 drives the translation rack 57 to move so that the translation rack 57 engages with the driven gear 56, and then the translation rack 57 drives the driven gear 56 to rotate during the movement, thereby driving the transmission shaft 55 and the driving wheel 510 to rotate, and the driving wheel 510 drives the driven wheel 513 to rotate through the transmission belt 511, and finally the driven wheel 513 drives the rotating shaft 512 and the cleaning brush 54 to rotate, so that the rotating cleaning brush 54 can clean the transducer 44 that is moving past.

[0058] Directions:

[0059] First, one end of the connecting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bridge engineering vehicle 200, so that the bridge engineering vehicle 200 drives the mobile vehicle 1 to perform mobile detection on the bridge deck of the steel-concrete variable-section continuous box girder bridge 100. When the camera 43 detects a crack on the bridge deck, the staff drives the mobile vehicle 1 and the camera 43 to move by the bridge engineering vehicle 200 until the camera 43 moves to the top of the crack on the bridge deck;

[0060] Then, the adjusting motor 33 is used to drive the adjusting plate 34 to rotate, so as to adjust the adjusting plate 34 to an angle perpendicular to the crack on the bridge deck, thereby making the two transducers 44 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the crack on the bridge deck, and then the rotating motor 45 is used to drive the double-threaded screw 46 to rotate. During the rotation process, the double-threaded screw 46 drives the two moving seats 42 to move in opposite directions at the same speed through the external threads at both ends, thereby driving the two transducers 44 to move in opposite directions at the same speed, so as to adjust and increase the distance between the two transducers 44 and the crack on the bridge deck;

[0061] When the transducer 44 moves past the position of the bracket plate 51, the baffle driving rack 414 and the baffle driving gear 413 mesh, and the baffle driving gear 413 starts to rotate and move away under the drive of the baffle driving rack 414, so that the protective baffle 412 no longer blocks the bottom of the transducer 44, so that the transducer 44 can be used normally later, and the protective baffle 412 rotates past the bristle position of the cleaning brush 54, and can scrape and clean the bristles of the cleaning brush 54, thereby removing dust and other debris on the bristles;

[0062] Then, the bottom end of the transducer 44 moves past the top surface of the cleaning brush 54, and at the same time, the moving seat 42 drives the translation rack 57 to move so that the translation rack 57 is meshed with the driven gear 56. The translation rack 57 drives the driven gear 56 to rotate during the movement, thereby driving the transmission shaft 55 and the driving wheel 510 to rotate. The driving wheel 510 drives the driven wheel 513 to rotate through the transmission belt 511. Finally, the driven wheel 513 drives the rotating shaft 512 and the cleaning brush 54 to rotate, so that the rotating cleaning brush 54 cleans the transducer 44, so that the bottom surface of the transducer 44 is kept clean.

[0063] When the transducer 44 moves over the coating head 52, the hydraulic pump 59 is turned on, and the coupling agent in the coupling agent storage bottle 58 is pumped out from the outlet on the top surface of the coating head 52 by the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic pump 59, so as to coat the coupling agent on the bottom surface of the transducer 44;

[0064] When the transducer 44 moves a certain distance to reach the corresponding detection position, the hydraulic cylinder 47 drives the transducer 44 downward, so that the bottom surface of the transducer 44 is coupled to the bridge deck by the coupling agent, and the two transducers 44 cooperate to perform ultrasonic detection on the bridge to detect the depth of the crack. After the detection, the hydraulic cylinder 47 drives the transducer 44 upward to reset, so that the bottom surface of the transducer 44 is separated from the bridge deck, and then the two transducers 44 are driven to continue to move in the opposite direction by the bidirectional translation drive unit to increase the distance between the transducer 44 and the bridge deck crack, and then the hydraulic cylinder 47 drives the transducer 44 downward to detect the bridge deck crack, and the two transducers 44 cooperate to detect the bridge deck crack 3-4 times in this way to improve the detection accuracy of the crack;

[0065] When the detection is completed, the transducer 44 is driven upward by the hydraulic cylinder 47 to reset and separate from the bridge deck, and then the two moving seats 42 are driven to move toward each other for reset by the bidirectional translation drive unit, thereby driving the two transducers 44 to move toward each other for reset. When the moving seat 42 resets and moves past the position of the bracket plate 51, the bottom end of the transducer 44 moves past the top surface of the cleaning brush 54, and at the same time, the moving seat 42 drives the rotating unit and the cleaning brush 54 to rotate again through the transmission unit, so that the cleaning brush 54 rotates and cleans the bottom surface of the transducer 44, removes the coupling agent remaining on the bottom surface of the transducer 44, prevents the coupling agent from drying and adhering to the bottom surface of the transducer 44, and ensures the subsequent normal use of the transducer 44.

[0066] Finally, the baffle driving gear 413 moves past the baffle driving rack 414, and the baffle driving gear 413 rotates in the opposite direction and resets under the meshing drive of the baffle driving rack 414, and drives the protective baffle 412 to rotate and reset, so that one end of the protective baffle 412 moves to the bottom of the transducer 44 again to shield and protect the transducer.
