Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of civil engineering surveying technology, specifically an automatic inclination data acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of civil engineering, it is necessary to monitor the deformation and inclination angle of buildings, structures, piles, slopes, or foundation pit supports. Currently, inclinometers are commonly used for this monitoring. The probe of an inclinometer is a cylinder with a pair of pulleys at the top and bottom, with a distance of 500 mm between the pulleys. Its working principle utilizes the property that a gravity pendulum always remains vertical to measure the inclination angle between the probe's central axis and the pendulum's vertical line. The change in inclination angle can be obtained by converting an electrical signal, thus revealing the angular deflection change of the measured structure. The monitoring results provide a direct basis for judging whether there are signs or phenomena of slope instability, for stability evaluation, prediction, and prevention engineering.

[0003] Currently, the data acquisition process for deep water displacement monitoring using inclinometers requires manual operation. Typically, one worker pulls the transmission cable, which is marked with the corresponding depth. When the cable reaches the designated position, another worker presses the data receiving button to record the data. This process needs to be repeated every 0.5 meters. The repetitive pulling and pressing of the data receiving button can easily lead to fatigue, causing errors in the test data. Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop an automatic inclinometer data acquisition device to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic inclinometer data acquisition device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic inclinometer data acquisition device, comprising:

[0007] Base;

[0008] A measuring mechanism, which is connected to the base;

[0009] A driving mechanism, which is connected to the measuring mechanism, is used to drive the measuring mechanism to automatically acquire inclination data;

[0010] A control mechanism is located outside the drive mechanism and connected to the measuring mechanism;

[0011] The control mechanism includes:

[0012] A control box is located outside the drive mechanism and is fixedly connected to the base.

[0013] A positioning component is provided between the control box and the measuring mechanism and is connected to the drive mechanism. It is used to cooperate with the measuring mechanism to control the drive mechanism to achieve fixed-point acquisition of inclination data.

[0014] A detection component, which is connected to the control box and the measuring mechanism, is used to cooperate with the positioning component to verify the measurement position.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] During operation, the measuring mechanism, in conjunction with the driving mechanism, enables automatic acquisition of inclinometer data. During acquisition, the positioning component, working with the operating measuring mechanism, controls the driving mechanism, allowing the measuring mechanism to perform fixed-point measurements. Furthermore, the detection component, working with the positioning component, verifies the acquisition position during measurement, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the data acquisition. Compared to existing technologies that rely on manual acquisition, where repeated lifting and pressing of the data receiving button can lead to fatigue and errors in test data, this application utilizes a measuring and driving mechanism, in conjunction with a control mechanism, and with the cooperation of the positioning and detection components. This not only achieves automatic acquisition of inclinometer data but also enables precise control of the measurement position, completing fixed-point acquisition and ensuring the effectiveness and accuracy of the data acquisition.

[0025] The embodiments of this patent are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this patent, and should not be construed as limiting this patent.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, an automatic inclinometer data acquisition device includes: a base 1; a measuring mechanism 18 connected to the base 1; a driving mechanism 35 connected to the measuring mechanism 18 for driving the measuring mechanism 18 to automatically acquire inclinometer data; and a control mechanism 30 located outside the driving mechanism 35 and connected to the measuring mechanism 18. The control mechanism 30 includes: a control box 19 located outside the driving mechanism 35 and fixedly connected to the base 1; a positioning component 29 located between the control box 19 and the measuring mechanism 18 and connected to the driving mechanism 35 for cooperating with the measuring mechanism 18 to control the driving mechanism 35 to acquire inclinometer data at a fixed point; and a detection component 28 connected to the control box 19 and the measuring mechanism 18 for cooperating with the positioning component 29 to verify the measurement position.

[0027] In this embodiment, during device operation, the measuring mechanism 18, in conjunction with the driving mechanism 35, can automatically acquire inclination data. During the acquisition process, the positioning component 29, in conjunction with the operating measuring mechanism 18, controls the driving mechanism 35, enabling the measuring mechanism 18 to perform fixed-point measurements. Furthermore, the detection component 28, in conjunction with the positioning component 29, can verify the acquisition position during the measurement by the measuring mechanism 18, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the device's data acquisition. Compared to the manual acquisition methods used in the prior art, which involve a large number of repetitive lifting and pressing of the data receiving button, leading to fatigue and potential errors in the test data, this application, by setting up the measuring mechanism 18 and the driving mechanism 35, and cooperating with the control mechanism 30, along with the cooperation of the positioning component 29 and the detection component 28, not only is automatic acquisition of inclination data achieved, but precise control of the measurement position is also enabled to complete fixed-point acquisition, ensuring the effectiveness and accuracy of the data acquisition.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The positioning component 29 includes: a positioning wheel 20, which is connected to the measuring mechanism 18 and has a positioning groove 21 on its outer wall for rotating in conjunction with the measuring mechanism 18; a positioning plate 22, which is slidably connected to the inside of the control box 19 and has a positioning block 23 on its outer side that is opposite to the positioning groove 21, and is connected to the control box 19 through an elastic support member; a sensing block 24, which is connected to the positioning plate 22; and a trigger block 25, which is opposite to the sensing block 24, connected to the control box 19, and connected to the drive mechanism 35, for controlling the opening and closing of the drive mechanism 35 in conjunction with the lifting and lowering of the positioning plate 22.

[0029] In this embodiment, the elastic support includes limiting rods 26 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning plate 22. The limiting rods 26 are slidably connected to the positioning plate 22. A second elastic element 27, which is a second spring, is fixedly connected between the positioning plate 22 and the control box 19. Both sides of the positioning block 23 are provided with sensing blocks 24 connected to the positioning plate 22.

By setting the positioning component 29, when the positioning wheel 20 rotates together with the measuring mechanism 18, the positioning groove 21 on the positioning wheel 20 intermittently engages with the positioning block 23. When the positioning block 23 engages with the positioning groove 21, the sensing block 24 is connected to the trigger block 25. The trigger block 25 controls the drive mechanism 35 to stop through the controller. At this time, the measuring mechanism 18 performs measurement. After the measurement, the drive mechanism 35 runs again. This process is repeated to achieve fixed-point acquisition of inclination data.

The movable frame 46 is provided with an opening for the cable 14 to pass through. Rollers 47 are rotatably connected to the inner sides of both ends of the movable frame 46. By utilizing the extension and retraction of the second telescopic member 48, the rollers 47, in conjunction with the wall of the detection box 38, can limit the two ends of the cable 14 located inside the detection box 38, thereby enabling the detector 43 and the indicator plate 45 to detect the position of the cable 14. The cable 14 is provided with a mark. During measurement, if the mark is aligned with the indicator plate 45, it indicates that the measurement position is correct. By setting the detection component 28, the measurement position can be detected when the measuring mechanism 18 is running, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results.

[0040] In this embodiment, the control rod 49 is rotatably connected to the support plate 50 fixedly disposed inside the control box 19. The driven rod and the control rod 49 are connected by bevel gear meshing. The driven rod is fixedly connected to the pulley 36. By setting the connecting assembly 31, after the drive rod 51 abuts against the control rod 49, the drive rod 51 drives the control rod 49 to rotate. The control rod 49 drives the measuring mechanism 18 through the driven rod, thereby completing the automatic acquisition of oblique side data.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes: a support mechanism 10, which is connected to the base 1 and the connecting component 31, and is used to cooperate with the connecting component 31 to realize the movement and fixation of the device; wherein, the support mechanism 10 includes: a base plate 2, which is symmetrically disposed at both ends of the inner side of the base 1, and one end is connected to the base 1 through a buffer, and the other end is provided with a caster 3 for driving the device to move; a lifting plate 8, which is disposed between the two base plates 2, slidably connected to the base 1, and is provided with a lifting plate 3 on the outer side.

The transmission rod 53 drives the threaded rod 55 to rotate, which can realize the lifting plate 8. The lifting plate 8 will drive the positioning pin 9 to move together. The positioning pin 9 can ensure the stability of the device during measurement, while the casters 3 facilitate the operation of the device.

[0043] This automatic inclinometer data acquisition device, through the setting of positioning component 29, intermittently engages positioning groove 21 and positioning block 23 when positioning wheel 20 rotates together with measuring mechanism 18. When positioning block 23 engages with positioning groove 21, sensing block 24 is connected to trigger block 25. Trigger block 25 controls drive mechanism 35 to stop via controller. At this time, measuring mechanism 18 performs measurement. After measurement, drive mechanism 35 runs again, repeating this process to achieve fixed-point acquisition of inclinometer data.
