[0002] Ground settlement monitoring work is of great significance in civil engineering projects, which can improve the safety of project construction. For example, when building large roadbeds, bridges, buildings and tunnels, if the ground settlement exceeds a certain value, the engineering project needs to stop construction. For example, in oil and gas, coal mining areas, ground settlement needs to be monitored during the mining process to provide early warning for some large geological subsidence disasters.

The technical solution points are: including a support device, a pulley, a mass block, a dial gauge, a rigid rope and a sleeve. The pulley is fixed to the top of the support device. The rigid rope passes through the pulley, one end is fixed to the stable soil layer or bedrock position below the ground, and the other end is connected with the mass block, so that the mass block is vertically hung on the rigid rope. The dial gauge is in contact with the mass block and is used to monitor the vertical displacement of the mass block. The connection between the rigid rope and the mass block can be direct connection or through a movable pulley. The monitoring data can be transmitted through a data line and a wireless transmission module for remote monitoring. The device can use a solar cell to power the testing instrument. The invention can greatly improve the measurement accuracy and stability, and realize real-time automatic remote monitoring, saving a lot of manpower and resources and reducing the monitoring cost.
[0004] For the above and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: the existing technology needs to use a punch to punch a hole in the ground to the stable soil layer or bedrock position, then install a sleeve in the hole, and then pass the rigid rope through the sleeve and fix it to the stable soil layer or bedrock position. The installation process is too cumbersome and the operation is too complex, and the punching process will damage the original geological structure of the ground, which may cause deviation in the subsequent monitoring results.

[0012] The preferable technical scheme of the present application is that the spray pipe is arranged in a spiral shape and is made of elastic material; when the gas inside the air cushion enters the spray pipe, the gas pressure will cause the spiral spray pipe to deform and elongate, and then the gas is sprayed from the end of the spray pipe; this action enables the spray pipe to hit and spray gas outward, thereby scaring away the approaching animals and further preventing the monitor shell from being disturbed and damaged by animals.
[0013] The gas in the air cushion is a stimulating gas; the gas outlet end of the nozzle is connected with a sound generator; the stimulating gas is arranged, so that the behavior of the animal can be disturbed after the gas is sprayed out, the animal can escape quickly after smelling the stimulating odor, the sound generator can be a sound device such as a whistle, the gas passes through the inside of the sound generator when being sprayed out, and the sound generator is further caused to emit a sound, so that the animal close to the sound generator is scared away, and the driving efficiency on the animal is improved.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0023] 1. The device and method for remotely monitoring land subsidence as described in this invention only requires digging a pit in the ground during installation, placing the monitor housing in the pit, and fixing a reference plate with external equipment so that the reference plate does not sink with the ground. During the monitoring process, if the land subsides at that location, the monitor housing and the dial gauge inside it sink synchronously, and relative sliding occurs between the guide rod and the monitor housing. The amount of land subsidence can be read through the dial gauge, and the data from the dial gauge can be transmitted to a base station or the terminal of the staff through an Internet of Things transmission module, thereby realizing remote fully automatic monitoring.
[0024] 2. The device and method for remotely monitoring land subsidence of the present invention involves placing the monitor housing into a pit, then pulling out multiple safety strips upwards using an operating block, thereby causing the anchor rod to lose its fixing effect. A first spring pushes the anchor rod outwards, allowing it to insert into the surrounding soil, thus improving the fixing effect between the monitor housing and the soil layer. This allows the monitor housing to settle smoothly along with the soil layer, thereby improving monitoring accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Figures 1 to 5 All accompanying drawings are simplified versions of embodiments and are intended only to clearly and concisely illustrate the embodiments of the present invention. The technical solutions shown in the drawings below are specific solutions of embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] Example 1 provides a remote surface subsidence monitoring device, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes a reference plate 1 and a monitor housing 2. The monitor housing 2 is a cylindrical structure with both its top and bottom surfaces closed. A mounting base 3 is fixedly connected inside the monitor housing 2. A dial indicator 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting base 3. The dial indicator 4 is remotely connected to an external device via an IoT transmission module. A guide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the reference plate 1. The lower end of the guide rod 5 is slidably connected inside the monitor housing 2, and the lower end of the guide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the detection end of the dial indicator 4. Existing technology requires drilling holes in the ground surface to a stable soil layer or bedrock location using a drilling machine, then installing a sleeve in the hole, and finally passing a rigid rope through the sleeve and fixing it to the stable soil layer or bedrock location. This installation process is too... The process is cumbersome and overly complex, and the drilling process can damage the original geological structure of the ground, which can easily lead to deviations in subsequent monitoring results. In contrast, this invention only requires digging a pit in the ground, placing the monitor housing 2 in the pit, and fixing the reference plate 1 with external equipment so that the reference plate 1 will not sink with the ground. During the monitoring process, if the ground subsides, the monitor housing 2 and the dial gauge 4 inside it will sink synchronously, and the guide rod 5 will slide relative to the monitor housing 2. The amount of ground subsidence can be read through the dial gauge 4, and the data of the dial gauge 4 can be transmitted to the base station or the terminal of the staff through the Internet of Things transmission module, thereby realizing remote fully automatic monitoring. It is worth noting that when constructing large roadbeds, bridges, buildings, and tunnels, the construction site is usually prone to settlement, while other nearby locations are not prone to settlement. In actual installation, this invention can select a nearby location that is not prone to settlement and approximate the vertical displacement of that location as zero. By fixing the reference plate 1 to that location with rods or other rigid objects, it can be ensured that the reference plate will not settle along with the monitoring location.
[0036] Two sets of mounting tubes 6 are evenly distributed around the bottom sidewall of the monitor housing 2, with the two sets of mounting tubes 6 arranged vertically. A first through hole is provided on the outer wall of the monitor housing 2 corresponding to the position of each mounting tube 6, and the mounting tube 6 is installed in the first through hole. An anchor rod 7 is slidably connected inside the mounting tube 6. A first spring 8 is fixedly connected between the end of the anchor rod 7 and the mounting tube 6, and the first spring 8 is in a compressed state. A set of second through holes is evenly distributed around the top surface of the monitor housing 2. A safety strip 9 is slidably connected inside each second through hole. An operating block 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the safety strip 9; the lower end of the safety strip 9 passes through two sets of corresponding installation tubes 6 and anchor rods 7, and is slidably connected to them, allowing for easy insertion and removal; after the monitor housing 2 is placed in the pit, multiple safety strips 9 are pulled upwards by the operating block 10, thereby causing the anchor rods 7 to lose their fixing effect. The first spring 8 pushes the anchor rods 7 outwards, causing the anchor rods 7 to insert into the surrounding soil, improving the fixing effect between the monitor housing 2 and the soil layer, allowing the monitor housing 2 to settle smoothly with the soil layer, thereby improving the monitoring accuracy.
[0037] Both the mounting pipe 6 and the anchor rod 7 are set in an inclined state, with the tip of the anchor rod 7 pointing obliquely upward and extending to the position of the first through hole; a connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod 5 above the monitor housing 2; an elastic corrugated pipe 12 is fixedly connected between the connecting plate 11 and the monitor housing 2, and the guide rod 5 passes through the inside of the corrugated pipe 12; by setting the anchor rod 7 in an inclined state, the anchor rod 7 can be further fixed to the soil after being inserted into the soil layer, and it is difficult to pull the monitor housing 2 out of the pit, reducing human damage. By setting the elastic corrugated pipe 12 to seal the gap between the guide rod 5 and the monitor housing 2, it is prevented that external soil and other impurities will enter the gap, causing the guide rod 5 to have difficulty sliding. As the monitor housing 2 settles, the corrugated pipe 12 can be stretched without affecting the relative movement of the guide rod 5 and the monitor housing 2.
[0038] An annular plate 13 is provided on the outer side of the monitor housing 2; a set of air cushions 14 are evenly distributed around the upper circumference of the annular plate 13, and the air cushions 14 are filled with gas; a set of supports 15 are evenly distributed around the top surface of the monitor housing 2; a nozzle 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support 15; the air cushions 14 and the nozzles 16 correspond one-to-one, and the air cushions 14 and the nozzles 16 are connected by a conduit 17; the air outlet of the nozzle 16 faces outward of the monitor housing 2; since the monitor housing 2 is usually placed in the wild, it is easily disturbed by animals. The annular plate 13 can be placed on the ground outside the monitor housing 2. When an animal approaches the monitor housing 2 and steps on one of the air cushions 14, the air cushion 14 is compressed, and the gas inside enters the corresponding nozzle 16 through the conduit 17. Then the nozzle 16 sprays air outward to drive away the animal and ensure the smooth operation of the monitoring work.
[0039] The nozzle 16 is spiral-shaped and made of elastic material. When the gas inside the air cushion 14 enters the nozzle 16, the air pressure will cause the spiral nozzle 16 to deform and elongate, and then the gas will be ejected from the end of the nozzle 16. This action allows the nozzle 16 to strike and spray air outward, thereby scaring away the approaching animals and further preventing the monitor housing 2 from being disturbed and damaged by animals.
[0040] The gas stored inside the air cushion 14 is an irritant gas; the outlet end of the nozzle 16 is connected to a sound generator 18; by setting an irritant gas, when the gas is sprayed out, it can interfere with the behavior of animals, causing them to run away quickly after smelling the irritant odor. The sound generator 18 can be a whistle or other sound-producing device. When the gas is sprayed out, it will pass through the inside of the sound generator 18, thereby causing the sound generator 18 to make a sound, further scaring away the approaching animals and improving the efficiency of driving away the animals.
[0041] Example 2 provides a remote surface subsidence monitoring device, such as Figures 5 to 6 As shown in the comparison with Embodiment 1, another embodiment of the present invention is as follows: The anchor rod 7 includes a rod body 19 and an anchor tip 20; a second spring 21 is fixedly connected between the rod body 19 and the anchor tip 20; a groove 22 is provided on the side of the rod body 19 near the anchor tip 20; a slider 23 is slidably connected inside the groove 22, and the slider 23 is fixedly connected to the anchor tip 20; a central hole 24 is provided inside both the slider 23 and the anchor tip 20; a set of guide holes 25 are evenly distributed on the surface of the anchor tip 20, and the guide holes 25 communicate with the central hole 24; a storage cavity 26 is provided inside the rod body 19, and the storage cavity 26 communicates with the groove 22; an isolation membrane 27 is fixedly connected inside the groove 22; the slider 23 is fixedly connected to the anchor tip 20; a second spring 21 is fixedly connected between the rod body 19 and ... 3. A pin 28 is fixedly connected to the side near the isolation membrane 27; the storage cavity 26 contains compressed glue; when the anchor rod 7 extends outward, the anchor tip 20 is resisted by the soil, causing the anchor tip 20 and the rod body 19 to move closer to each other and compress the second spring 21. Then, the slider 23 drives the pin 28 to move towards the isolation membrane 27 and puncture the isolation membrane 27. At this time, the glue inside the storage cavity 26 is discharged outward through the central hole 24 and the guide hole 25, so that the glue is dispersed in the soil around the anchor rod 7. After the glue hardens, it can further improve the fixing effect between the soil layer and the anchor rod 7, firmly fixing the anchor rod 7 inside the soil layer and preventing the soil from being too loose, which would lead to a poor fixing effect of the monitor shell 2.
[0042] A piston plate 29 is slidably and sealingly connected inside the storage cavity 26 at a position away from the isolation membrane 27; a spring 30 is fixedly connected between the piston plate 29 and the side wall of the storage cavity 26, and the spring 30 is in a compressed state; the glue is added inside the storage cavity 26 between the isolation membrane 27 and the piston plate 29; a baffle 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the anchor tip 20 near the guide hole 25; there is a gap between the end of the baffle 31 facing the rod body 19 and the anchor tip 20; after the isolation membrane 27 is punctured, the spring 30 pushes the piston plate 29 to move towards the anchor tip 20, thereby squeezing the glue inside the storage cavity 26 outward, improving the glue discharge efficiency; by setting the baffle 31 to block the guide hole 25, a large amount of soil will not enter the guide hole 25 during the process of the anchor tip 20 being driven into the soil, preventing the guide hole 25 from being blocked by soil, and the glue can be discharged outward through the gap between the baffle 31 and the anchor tip 20 when squeezed out.
[0043] like Figure 7 As shown in Example 3, a method for remotely and fully automatically monitoring land subsidence is provided. This method uses the aforementioned remote land subsidence monitoring equipment and includes the following steps:
[0044] S1: During installation, a pit is dug in the ground, and the monitor, consisting of the monitor housing 2, mounting base 3, dial gauge 4, fixing mechanism and base plate 1, is placed in the pit. The reference plate 1 is fixed by external equipment so that the reference plate 1 will not sink with the ground. The reference plate 1 can be fixed by setting up a fixing frame and fixing the reference plate to the fixing frame with bolts.
[0045] S2: By pulling the safety bar 9 upward through the operating block 10, the anchor rod 7 loses its fixing effect, and the first spring 8 pushes the anchor rod 7 outward, causing the anchor rod 7 to insert into the surrounding soil. The specific steps are as follows:
[0046] a: When the anchor rod 7 extends outward, the anchor tip 20 is resisted by the soil, causing the anchor tip 20 and the rod body 19 to move closer to each other and compress the second spring 21. Then the slider 23 drives the pin 28 to move toward the isolation membrane 27 and puncture the isolation membrane 27.
[0047] b: The glue inside the storage cavity 26 is discharged outward through the central hole 24 and the guide hole 25, so that the glue is dispersed in the soil around the anchor rod 7.
[0048] S3: When settlement occurs, the monitor housing 2 and dial gauge 4 sink synchronously, and the guide rod 5 slides relative to the monitor housing 2. The settlement amount of the ground surface is read through dial gauge 4, and the data of dial gauge 4 can be transmitted to the external terminal through the Internet of Things transmission module.
[0049] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During installation, a pit is dug in the ground, the monitor housing 2 is placed in the pit, and the reference plate 1 is fixed by external equipment so that the reference plate 1 will not sink with the ground. During the monitoring process, if the ground surface settles, the monitor housing 2 and the dial gauge 4 inside it sink synchronously. The guide rod 5 slides relative to the monitor housing 2, and the amount of ground settlement can be read through the dial gauge 4. The data from the dial gauge 4 can be transmitted to the base station or the operator's terminal through the Internet of Things transmission module, thereby realizing remote fully automatic monitoring. After the monitor housing 2 is placed in the pit, the operation block 10 is used to... When the safety bar 9 is pulled upwards, the anchor rod 7 loses its fixing effect. The first spring 8 pushes the anchor rod 7 outwards, causing it to insert into the surrounding soil. This improves the fixing effect between the monitor housing 2 and the soil layer, allowing the monitor housing 2 to settle smoothly with the soil layer, thereby improving monitoring accuracy. By setting the anchor rod 7 in an inclined state, the fixing effect between the anchor rod 7 and the soil layer is further improved after it is inserted into the soil layer, making it difficult to pull the monitor housing 2 out of the pit and reducing human damage. The gap between the guide rod 5 and the monitor housing 2 is sealed by the elastic corrugated pipe 12 to prevent external soil and other impurities from entering. The gap causes difficulty in sliding the guide rod 5. However, as the monitor housing 2 settles, the bellows 12 can be stretched without affecting the relative movement of the guide rod 5 and the monitor housing 2. Since the monitor housing 2 is usually placed in the wild and is easily disturbed by animals, the annular plate 13 can be placed on the ground outside the monitor housing 2. When an animal approaches the monitor housing 2 and steps on one of the air cushions 14, the air cushion 14 is compressed, and the gas inside it enters the corresponding nozzle 16 through the conduit 17. Then, the nozzle 16 sprays air outward to drive away the animal and ensure the smooth operation of the monitoring work. When the gas inside the air cushion 14... After the gas enters the nozzle 16, the air pressure causes the spiral nozzle 16 to deform and elongate, and then the gas is ejected from the end of the nozzle 16. This action allows the nozzle 16 to strike and expel air outward, thereby scaring away the approaching animals and further preventing the monitor housing 2 from being disturbed or damaged by animals. By setting irritating gas, when the gas is ejected, it can interfere with the behavior of animals, causing them to run away quickly after smelling the irritating odor. The sound generator 18 can be a whistle or other sound-producing device. When the gas is ejected, it passes through the inside of the sound generator 18, thereby causing the sound generator 18 to emit a sound, further scaring away the approaching animals and improving the efficiency of driving away animals.When the anchor rod 7 extends outward, the anchor tip 20 is resisted by the soil, causing the anchor tip 20 and the rod body 19 to move closer together and compress the second spring 21. This, in turn, causes the slider 23 to move the ejector pin 28 towards the isolation membrane 27 and puncture it. At this time, the glue inside the storage cavity 26 is discharged outward through the central hole 24 and the guide hole 25, dispersing the glue in the soil around the anchor rod 7. After the glue hardens, it further improves the fixing effect between the soil layer and the anchor rod 7, firmly fixing the anchor rod 7 inside the soil layer and preventing soil from overflowing. The looseness of the membrane caused poor fixation of the monitor housing 2. After the isolation membrane 27 was punctured, the spring 30 pushed the piston plate 29 towards the anchor tip 20, thereby squeezing the glue inside the storage cavity 26 outwards, improving the glue discharge efficiency. By setting a baffle 31 to block the guide hole 25, a large amount of mud would not enter the guide hole 25 during the process of the anchor tip 20 being driven into the soil, preventing the guide hole 25 from being blocked by mud. The glue could then be discharged outwards through the gap between the baffle 31 and the anchor tip 20.

7. A method for remote fully automatic monitoring of land subsidence, wherein the method employs the remote land subsidence monitoring equipment described in any one of claims 1-6, characterized in that... Specifically, the following steps are included: S1: During installation, dig a pit in the ground, place the monitor, which consists of the monitor housing, mounting base, dial gauge and fixing mechanism, in the pit, and fix the reference plate with external equipment so that the reference plate will not sink with the ground. S2: Pull the safety bar upward by operating the block, and the anchor rod loses its fixing effect. The first spring pushes the anchor rod outward, so that the anchor rod inserts into the surrounding soil and fixes the monitor. S3: When settlement occurs, the monitor housing and dial gauge sink synchronously, and relative sliding occurs between the guide rod and the monitor housing. The settlement amount of the ground surface is read through the dial gauge, and the data of the dial gauge can be transmitted to external devices through the Internet of Things transmission module.
8. The method for remote fully automatic monitoring of land subsidence according to claim 7, characterized in that... The detailed steps of S2 are as follows: a: When the anchor rod extends outward, the anchor tip is resisted by the soil, causing the anchor tip and the rod body to move closer together and compress the second spring. In turn, the slider drives the pin to move towards the isolation membrane and puncture the isolation membrane. b: The glue inside the storage chamber is discharged outward through the central hole and guide hole, so that the glue is dispersed in the soil around the anchor rod.
