Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-speed maintenance equipment technology, and more specifically relates to a device for detecting the offset direction of high-speed guardrails. Background Technology
[0002] my country boasts the world's longest highway network, providing convenient transportation. However, the sheer number of highways also makes routine maintenance extremely demanding. Highway guardrails, as an indispensable safety device on highways, require frequent repairs. The most common problem with highway guardrails is positional misalignment. Misaligned guardrails need to be manually corrected promptly. Current technology typically relies on manual methods to detect the misalignment, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. There is a lack of a device that can quickly detect the misalignment of highway guardrails.
[0003] Therefore, how to provide a device for detecting the offset direction of highway guardrails is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a device for detecting the offset direction of highway guardrails, which has the advantages of being able to quickly detect the offset direction of highway guardrails, continuously detect, provide rapid feedback, and detect highway guardrails of different heights.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A device for detecting the offset direction of a highway guardrail includes: a sliding plate, a first slide rail, a sliding block, a probe, a first positioning plate, an electromagnetic sensor A, a first fixing plate, a probe spring, a detection wheel cover, a detection wheel, a gasket, and a device housing. The first slide rail is horizontally mounted on the sliding plate. The sliding block is slidably connected to the first slide rail. The probe is horizontally mounted inside the sliding block and penetrates the sliding block. The first positioning plate is mounted on the sliding block. The first fixing plate is connected to the sliding plate and is horizontally arranged. Multiple electromagnetic sensors A, preferably two, are mounted on the first fixing plate and are electrically connected to an onboard computer. The detection wheel cover is connected to one end of the probe and has a rotating rod mounted on it. The detection wheel is slidably sleeved on the rotating rod for contacting the highway guardrail. The gasket is sleeved on the probe and fixedly mounted on the device housing. The probe spring is sleeved on the probe, with one end connected to the sliding block and the other end connected to the gasket. The sliding plate is installed inside the device housing, and the device housing is mounted on a vehicle.
[0007] Furthermore, two second slide rails are vertically installed inside the housing of the device, and the sliding plate is slidably connected to the second slide rails.
[0008] Furthermore, the first positioning plate and the first fixing plate are parallel to each other, and the first positioning plate is equipped with positioning blocks that correspond one-to-one with electromagnetic sensor A.
[0009] Furthermore, a second positioning plate is installed inside the housing of the device, and one end of the first fixing plate is connected to the second fixing plate. Electromagnetic sensors B are installed on the second fixing plate, and there are multiple of them, preferably two.
[0010] Furthermore, the second positioning plate is parallel to the second fixing plate, and the second positioning plate is equipped with positioning blocks that correspond one-to-one with the electromagnetic sensor B. The electromagnetic sensor B is electrically connected to the vehicle computer.
[0011] Furthermore, a sliding plate spring is connected to one side of the sliding plate, and the other end of the sliding plate spring is connected to the top inner side of the device housing.
[0012] Furthermore, the tread of the detection wheel is high on both sides and low in the middle, i.e., a trough. The arc of the trough of the detection wheel corresponds to the crest of the high-speed guardrail and fits tightly against it.
[0013] Furthermore, the gasket has a rectangular through hole to facilitate the movement of the probe within the through hole.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0015] This invention features a simple structure and ease of use. During operation, the probe spring is in the open state, and electromagnetic sensor A completes its positioning. Under the elastic force of the sliding plate spring, the probe will not shift its position. At this point, the inspection personnel can start the vehicle and drive in a straight line to begin inspection. If the highway guardrail shifts towards the inside of the highway, the probe will move inward, causing the first positioning plate to move inward as well. Electromagnetic sensor A can then record the shift direction of the first positioning plate, pointing towards the inside of the highway. If the highway guardrail shifts towards the outside of the highway, the probe will move outward, causing the first positioning plate to move outward as well. Electromagnetic sensor A can then record the shift direction of the first positioning plate, pointing towards the outside of the highway. Electromagnetic sensor A can promptly transmit the information to the onboard computer, allowing the inspection personnel to receive the information immediately and perform maintenance. Therefore, this invention has the advantages of quickly detecting the shift direction of highway guardrails, continuous inspection, rapid feedback, and the ability to inspect highway guardrails of different heights.

[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see the appendix Figure 1 This invention provides a device for detecting the offset direction of a highway guardrail, comprising: a sliding plate 1, a first slide rail 2, a sliding block 3, a probe 4, a first positioning plate 5, an electromagnetic sensor A6, a first fixing plate 7, a probe spring 8, a detection wheel cover 9, a detection wheel 10, a gasket 11, and a device housing 12; the first slide rail 2 is horizontally mounted on the sliding plate 1, the sliding block 3 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 2, the probe 4 is horizontally mounted inside the sliding block 3 and penetrates the sliding block 3, the first positioning plate 5 is mounted on the sliding block 3, and the first fixing plate 7 is connected to the sliding plate 1 and arranged horizontally; the electromagnetic sensor A6... Sensor A6 is mounted on the first fixed plate 7, and there are multiple sensors, preferably two. The electromagnetic sensor A6 is electrically connected to the vehicle computer. The detection wheel cover 9 is connected to one end of the probe 4. A rotating rod is mounted on the detection wheel cover 9. The detection wheel 10 is slidably sleeved on the rotating rod for contacting the high-speed guardrail. The gasket 11 is sleeved on the probe 4 and fixedly mounted on the device housing 12. The probe spring 8 is sleeved on the probe 4, with one end connected to the sliding block 3 and the other end connected to the gasket 11. The sliding plate 1 is installed inside the device housing 12, and the device housing 12 is mounted on the vehicle.
[0022] The device housing 12 has two second slide rails 13 vertically installed inside. The sliding plate 1 is slidably connected to the second slide rails 13 and is used for sliding the sliding plate 1 in the vertical direction.
[0023] The first positioning plate 5 and the first fixing plate 7 are parallel to each other. The first positioning plate 5 is equipped with positioning blocks that correspond one-to-one with the electromagnetic sensor A6. By moving the positioning blocks, the electromagnetic sensor A6 can detect the moving direction of the first positioning plate 5.
[0024] The device housing 12 is equipped with a second positioning plate 14. One end of the first fixing plate 7 is connected to the second fixing plate 15. Electromagnetic sensors B16 are installed on the second fixing plate 15. The number of sensors B16 is multiple, preferably two.
[0025] The second positioning plate 14 is parallel to the second fixing plate 15. Positioning blocks corresponding one-to-one with the electromagnetic sensors B16 are mounted on the second positioning plate 14. The electromagnetic sensors B16 are electrically connected to the vehicle's computer. The movement of the positioning blocks allows the electromagnetic sensors B16 to detect the direction of movement of the second positioning plate 14. The electromagnetic sensors A6 and B16 used in this invention can also be replaced with infrared electronic measuring instruments, enabling the device to detect not only the direction of offset but also the amount of offset.
[0026] A sliding plate spring 17 is connected to one side of the sliding plate 1, and the other end of the sliding plate spring 17 is connected to the top of the inner side of the device housing 12.
[0027] The tread of the detection wheel 10 is high on both sides and low in the middle, i.e., the trough. The arc of the trough of the detection wheel 10 corresponds to the crest of the high-speed guardrail and fits tightly against it.
[0028] The gasket 11 has a rectangular through hole to facilitate the movement of the probe 4 within the through hole.
[0029] This invention has a simple structure and is easy to use. During operation, the electromagnetic sensor B16 first performs positioning and transmits the data to the vehicle's computer. Then, the probe 4 is manually pulled downwards, causing the sliding plate 1 to move up and down along the second slide rail 13. The sliding plate 1 then moves the first slide rail 2, sliding block 3, probe 4, first positioning plate 5, electromagnetic sensor A6, first fixing plate 7, probe spring 8, detection wheel cover 9, detection wheel 10, second fixing plate 15, and electromagnetic sensor B16 simultaneously. Once the trough of the detection wheel 10 makes close contact with the crest of the high-speed guardrail, the probe spring 8 is in the open state, releasing the probe 4. The electromagnetic sensor B16 then transmits its current position to the vehicle's computer, while the electromagnetic sensor A6 completes its positioning. Under the elastic force of the moving leaf spring 17, the probe 4 will no longer shift position. At this time, the inspection personnel can start the vehicle and drive in a straight line to begin the inspection. If the highway guardrail shifts towards the inside of the highway, the probe 4 will move inward, causing the first positioning plate 5 to move inward. The electromagnetic sensor A6 can then record the offset direction of the first positioning plate 5, which is towards the inside of the highway. If the highway guardrail shifts towards the outside of the highway, the probe 4 will move outward, causing the first positioning plate 5 to move outward. The electromagnetic sensor A6 can then record the offset direction of the first positioning plate 5, which is towards the outside of the highway. The electromagnetic sensor A6 can promptly transmit the information to the onboard computer, allowing the inspection personnel to receive the information immediately and perform maintenance. Thus, this invention has the advantages of quickly detecting the offset direction of the highway guardrail, continuous inspection, rapid feedback, and the ability to inspect highway guardrails of different heights.
