Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sensor monitoring technology, and in particular relates to an embedding mechanism for a linear array sensor system. Background Technology

[0002] For linear array sensor systems, multiple sensors are installed in the monitoring area in a uniform and linear manner. For embedded sensors, the current installation method involves creating embedding holes, installing the sensors inside embedding pipes, and installing the embedding pipes inside embedding holes.

[0003] However, during installation, the straightness between array sensors must be within a certain standard range. Therefore, when opening the burial holes, high-precision equipment can be used to confirm each burial point, mark it, or open the hole on site. However, during the hole opening process, the vibration or shaking generated by the hole opening equipment can easily cause the burial hole opening accuracy to be low, which will lead to insufficient straightness after the subsequent sensor is installed, affecting the monitoring accuracy of the subsequent system and the judgment of the monitoring results.

[0004] Therefore, designing an embedding mechanism that can perform straightness calibration and adjustment even if there is a deviation in the embedding hole opening is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an embedding mechanism for a linear array sensor system. By designing a double-layered tube as the embedding tube, the outer tube is used for installation with a preset embedding hole, and the inner tube can be precisely adjusted in height within the outer tube by means of a positioning and adjusting component. The ray emitter emitted from the designed alignment fixture is always in a horizontal emitting state, ensuring that two adjacent embedding mechanisms are in a horizontal linear state, avoiding the problem of insufficient straightness caused by the accuracy deviation of the preset embedding hole, and ensuring the measurement accuracy of the subsequent sensor system.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention relates to an embedding mechanism for a linear array sensor system, comprising an inner tube, an outer tube, and an alignment clamp;

[0008] Both the outer and inner pipe fittings are metal pipe fittings with one open end and the other closed end. The inner pipe fitting is installed inside the outer pipe fitting and its open end extends beyond the end of the outer pipe fitting. The open end of the outer pipe fitting is provided with a striking part.

[0009] The positioning fixture includes a positioning component and an adjusting component;

[0010] The positioning component includes an outer sleeve and an inner column. The inner column is concentrically disposed within the outer sleeve and connected at the same end via an end plate. The gap at the open end of the inner tube is disposed within the gap between the outer sleeve and the inner column, and the gap of the inner column is disposed within the inner tube.

[0011] The adjusting component includes a fixed part and a rotating part. The fixed part consists of a set of symmetrically arranged half-shells. The two half-shells are fixed to the outside of the striking part by lugs and fasteners. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the fixed part by a connecting part.

[0012] The rotating part is threadedly connected to a screw on one of its opposite sides. The screw is rotatably connected to the outer side of the outer casing at one end inside the rotating part. A counterweight cone is connected to the rotating part, and the counterweight cone is opposite to a screw.

[0013] The rotating part is symmetrically provided with a ray emitter and an observation plate on its circumferential side. The ray emitter, the observation plate and the two screws are distributed in a cross shape on the circumferential side of the rotating part. The observation plate is provided with a marking groove. The length direction of the marking groove is flush with the axis of the rotating part.

[0014] The gap between the inner and outer pipe fittings is filled with anchoring agent.

[0015] Furthermore, each of the inner tubes is symmetrically provided with a set of guide tubes on its circumferential side, and the two ends of the guide tubes extend to the end faces of the two ends of the inner tubes respectively. The inner wall of the outer sleeve is provided with a set of channels that cooperate with the guide tubes.

[0016] Furthermore, the end plate is provided with a set of ports communicating with the feed pipe, and the anchoring agent is transmitted between the inner and outer pipes through the ports and the feed pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer tube is sealed with a conical end tube, and the conical end tube is provided with several reinforcing ribs.

[0018] Furthermore, the sealing of the inner tube is a circular plate, and the surface of the circular plate is in contact with the inner end face of the reinforcing rib.

[0019] Furthermore, the striking part includes a cylindrical end and a conical end, the cylindrical end being close to the end face of the outer tube, and the large-diameter portion of the conical end being integral with the end face of the cylindrical end.

[0020] Furthermore, the inner side of the half-shell away from the rotating part is provided with a ramp, and the inner wall of the ramp is in contact with the outer surface of the conical end.

[0021] Furthermore, the connecting part includes an upper sleeve and a lower sleeve. The upper sleeve is disposed at the end of the half shell, and the lower sleeve is disposed at the end of the rotating part. The inner side of the upper sleeve is provided with a protruding edge, and the outer surface of the lower sleeve is provided with a groove. The upper sleeve is fitted over the lower sleeve and is rotatably connected through the protruding edge and the groove.

[0022] Furthermore, the rotating part is provided with a threaded sleeve that is threadedly connected to the screw, and a handle is fixed to one end of the screw located on the outer side of the rotating part.

[0023] Furthermore, each of the rotating parts has a convex surface on one opposite side, and the ray emitter and the observation plate are respectively fixed on the two convex surfaces.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. This invention uses a double-layered pipe as the embedded pipe. The outer pipe is used for installation with the preset embedment hole. The inner pipe can be precisely adjusted in height within the outer pipe through the positioning and adjusting components. The ray emitter emitted from the designed positioning fixture is always in a horizontal emission state, ensuring that two adjacent embedment mechanisms are in a horizontal linear state. This avoids the problem of insufficient straightness caused by the accuracy deviation of the preset embedment hole, and ensures the measurement accuracy of the subsequent sensor system.

[0026] 2. This invention designs a novel adjusting component in which the rotating part and the fixed part are in a state of relative rotation. By setting a vertically downward counterweight cone on the rotating part, it can ensure that the two screws are in the disposal state and that the X-ray emitter and the observation plate are in a horizontal state. This is used to confirm the straightness between two adjacent embedded mechanisms. The operation is simple and convenient for operators.

[0027] 3. By setting a guide pipe on the inner pipe and a port on the end plate, the present invention allows the anchoring agent to be input from the inside to the outside in the gap between the inner and outer pipes, thus avoiding the problem of the anchoring agent being difficult to transport later.

[0028] 4. The present invention improves the strength of the end of the outer tube by designing the striking part, which is used for hammering the outer tube into the installation point. The design of the tapered end tube and reinforcing rib at the other end can improve the strength of the inserted end, avoid the problem of interference between the outer tube and the installation hole and deformation, and improve the strength of the outer tube.

[0029] 5. This invention defines the position of the inner tube by the cooperation of the outer shell and the inner column. The inner column extends into the inner tube for a relatively long length. At the same time, the inner tube is made of a metal material with high hardness, which has a good position definition effect and ensures stability and accuracy during subsequent precise adjustments.

[0030] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0043] Please see Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention is an embedding mechanism for a linear array sensor system, including an inner tube 1, an outer tube 2, and a positioning clamp;

[0044] Both the outer pipe fitting 2 and the inner pipe fitting 1 are metal pipe fittings with one end open and the other end closed.

[0045] The fixture includes positioning component 3 and adjusting component 4;

[0046] The positioning component 3 includes an outer sleeve 301 and an inner column 302.

[0048] A screw 405 is threaded through and connected to one or both sides of the rotating part 402. One end of the screw 405 located inside the rotating part 402 is rotatably connected to the circumferential side of the outer sleeve 301.

The ray emitter 407, the observation plate 408 and the two screws 405 are distributed in a cross shape on the circumferential side of the rotating part 402. The observation plate 408 is provided with a marking groove 409. The length direction of the marking groove 409 is flush with the axis of the rotating part 402.

[0050] An anchoring agent is filled in the gap between inner fitting 1 and outer fitting 2.

[0051] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a set of guide tubes 101 are symmetrically provided on each side of the inner tube 1. The two ends of the guide tubes 101 extend to the end faces of the two ends of the inner tube 1, and a set of channels 304 that cooperate with the guide tubes 101 are provided on the inner wall of the outer sleeve 301.

[0052] Among them, such as Figure 1-2 and Figure 6 As shown, the end plate 303 is provided with a set of ports 305 that are connected to the guide pipe 101. The anchoring agent is transmitted to the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2 through the ports 305 and the guide pipe 101.

[0053] Among them, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the outer pipe 2 has a conical end pipe 202 as its sealing end, and the conical end pipe 202 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 203.

[0054] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing of the inner tube 1 is a circular plate, and the surface of the circular plate is in contact with the inner end face of the reinforcing rib 203.

[0055] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the striking part 201 includes a cylindrical end 204 and a conical end 205. The cylindrical end 204 is close to the end face of the outer tube 2, and the large-diameter portion of the conical end 205 is integral with the end face of the cylindrical end 204.

[0056] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, a ramp 410 is provided on the inner side of the end of the semi-shell 403 away from the rotating part 402, and the inner wall of the ramp 410 is in contact with the outer surface of the conical end 205.

[0057] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting part includes an upper sleeve 411 and a lower sleeve 412. The upper sleeve 411 is disposed at the end of the half shell 403, and the lower sleeve 412 is disposed at the end of the rotating part 402. The inner side of the upper sleeve 411 is provided with a protruding edge 413, and the outer surface of the lower sleeve 412 is provided with a groove 414. The upper sleeve 411 is fitted onto the outside of the lower sleeve 412 and is rotatably connected through the protruding edge 413 and the groove 414.

[0058] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rotating part 402 is provided with a threaded sleeve that is threadedly connected to the screw 405, and the screw 405 is fixed with a handle at one end located on the outside of the rotating part 402.

[0059] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rotating part 402 has convex surfaces on opposite sides. The ray emitter 407 and the observation plate 408 are fixed on the two convex surfaces respectively. The convex surfaces are flat and have mounting holes on the top.

[0060] A battery pack can be installed in the empty space of the adjustment component 4 to power the ray emitter 407, avoiding the problem of power outages, and a charging port is also provided.

[0061] The installation method of the embedding mechanism of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0062] SS01 uses a tool to drill holes at the marked points on the mounting surface, fills the holes with fillers such as concrete or anchoring agent, and uses the hammering part 201 to hammer the end of the conical end pipe 202 of the outer pipe 2 into the hole, so that the hammering part 201 is located outside the mounting surface, and the installation and fastening between the outer pipe 2 and the mounting point are achieved by filling the holes.

[0063] SS02 inserts one end of the inner tube 1 into the gap between the outer sleeve 301 and the inner column 302, and positions the two through the channel 304 and the guide tube 101. The end of the inner tube 1 away from the positioning member 3 is extended into the outer tube 2 so that the two come into contact.

[0064] At this time, SS03 takes out two half-shells 403, puts the two half-shells 403 on the outside of the striking part 201, and connects and fastens them through the support ears 404 and fasteners to realize the connection between the positioning part 3 and the adjusting part 4 and the outer tube body 2 and the inner tube body 1. This embedding mechanism is pre-named No. 2 embedding part. The linear first and second embedding mechanisms are No. 1 embedding part and No. 3 embedding part, respectively.

[0065] At this time, SS04 adjusts the height of the inner tube 1 inside the outer tube 2 by means of the synchronous rotation of the two screws 405 based on the radiation emitted by the radiation emitter 407 on the first embedded part, until the radiation and the marking groove 409 on the observation plate 408 are matched, thus ensuring the straightness of the two adjacent embedded parts.

[0066] After the SS05 is positioned, the anchoring agent is filled into the gap between the inner fitting 1 and the outer fitting 2 through the port 305 and the guide pipe 101. The anchoring agent flows from the inside of the inner fitting 1 and the outer fitting 2 outward to achieve complete filling and wait for solidification and tightening.

[0067] SS06 Remove the positioning clamp of embedded part No. 1 and use it for embedded part No. 3. Use two or three positioning clamps in sequence to provide time for the solidification and tightening of the anchoring agent.

[0068] SS07 installs the sensor inside the inner tube 1.
