[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution:

[0005] This invention provides an intelligent control device for the verticality of an underwater pile, comprising a device frame, a pile body collar, a hydraulic lifter, and a verticality sensor. The pile body collar is disposed within the device frame, and at least two pile body collars are provided, arranged vertically within the device frame. Each pile body collar is connected to one end of a hydraulic lifter on each side, and the other ends of the hydraulic lifters on both sides of the pile body collar are respectively connected to two opposite side plates of the device frame. The hydraulic lifters are movably connected to the side plates. The verticality sensor is disposed on the upper end surface of the hydraulic lifter, and the upper end surface of the hydraulic lifter is parallel to the upper and lower end surfaces of the pile body collar.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent control device for the verticality of underwater piles to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] The underwater pile verticality intelligent control device in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a frame 1, a pile collar 2, a hydraulic lifter 3, and a verticality sensor 4. The pile collar 2 is installed inside the frame 1, and at least two pile collars 2 are installed, arranged vertically inside the frame 1. Each pile collar 2 is connected to one end of a hydraulic lifter 3 on both sides, and the other ends of the hydraulic lifters 3 on both sides of the pile collar 2 are connected to two opposite side plates of the frame 1. The hydraulic lifters 3 are movably connected to the side plates. The verticality sensor 4 is installed on the upper end face of the hydraulic lifter 3, and the upper end face of the hydraulic lifter 3 is parallel to the upper and lower end faces of the pile collar 2. The verticality sensor 4 is used to monitor the verticality of the pile collar 2. The hydraulic lifter 3 and the verticality sensor 4 are connected to the operating platform 11 via wires 12.

[0022] In this specific embodiment, the device frame 1 is a rectangular frame formed by four side plates, and a crossbar 5 is provided on the inner side of each of the four side plates. Magnet plates 6 are provided above and below the crossbars 5 on the two side plates connected to the hydraulic lifter 3. Each magnet plate 6 has a magnetic suction cup 7 attached to it. The hydraulic lifter 3 is connected to the magnetic suction cup 7 and is hinged to the magnetic suction cup 7 via a cylindrical hinge. To enable the magnetic suction cup 7 to move on the magnet plate 6, a power motor is embedded inside the magnetic suction cup 7. The magnetic suction cup 7 is also equipped with a traveling wheel (not shown in the figure) driven by the power motor. The magnetic suction cup 7 contacts the magnet plate 6 through the traveling wheel. When the magnetic suction cup 7 needs to move the hydraulic lifter 3, the power motor is activated, causing the traveling wheel to roll on the magnet plate 6. Due to the magnetic attraction between the magnetic suction cup 7 and the magnet plate 6, the magnetic suction cup 7 will not fall off the magnet plate 6 during movement. Specifically, the telescopic end of the hydraulic lifter 3 is connected to the pile body collar 2, and the fixed end of the hydraulic lifter 3 is connected to the magnetic chuck 7. The fixed end of the hydraulic lifter 3 moves on the magnetic plate 6 through the magnetic chuck 7.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the verticality sensor 4 includes a housing 8 and a regular octahedron 9 disposed inside the housing 8. The four side edges of the regular octahedron 9 are respectively attached to the four sides of the housing 8. A pressure strain gauge 10 is placed between the geometric center of each of the four side edges and the side of the housing 8. The pressure strain gauge 10 transmits electrical signals to the operating platform 11 by wires.

[0024] In this embodiment, there are preferably two pile body collars 2, and verticality sensors 4 are installed on the upper end surfaces of two hydraulic lifters 3 located on the same side of the two pile body collars 2.

[0025] The working principle of the intelligent control device for the verticality of underwater piles in this invention is as follows:

[0026] When preparing for pile driving, the device frame 1 is first submerged in water. If the verticality of the device does not meet the requirements, and the pile collar 2 is not flush with the horizontal plane, the verticality will also fail to meet the requirements when the pile is placed. Visually, this manifests as the octahedron inside the pressure verticality sensor 4 tilting, creating pressure on one or both sides of the pressure strain gauge 10. The pressure strain gauge 10 will then transmit an electrical signal via wire to the upper operating platform 11. The position of the upper magnetic suction cup 7 can be adjusted remotely from above. Since the magnetic suction cup 7 can move arbitrarily on the magnetic plate 6, it can first be adjusted to a position where the verticality meets the requirements. At this point, the pressure sensed by the strain gauges around the pressure verticality sensor 4 is 0. While adjusting the magnetic suction cup 7, to maintain translation, the hydraulic lift 3 will simultaneously extend or shorten. Then, the lower pile collar 2 is adjusted to meet the verticality requirements, making the upper and lower pile collars 2 flush (see detailed working diagram). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, once the verticality meets the requirements, the pile can be placed and subsequent pile driving can be carried out.

[0027] This invention patent utilizes the attraction of magnets and the adjustment of hydraulic lifter 3 (which is a jack) to adjust the verticality of the pile in relatively calm waters, which is convenient, quick, and effective.

[0028] This invention has used specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above descriptions of the embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
