Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of suspension bridge cable clamp slip detection, and particularly relates to a suspension bridge main cable clamp slip detection method based on three-dimensional laser scanning. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a special bridge structure, the main cable clamp slip of a suspension bridge is one of the important factors causing the instability of the bridge. The cable clamp, as an important structure of the cable system of the suspension bridge, transmits the hanger cable tension generated by the dead load and the live load of the vehicle to the main cable. By applying a pre-tightening force to the screw rod of the cable clamp, the radial component of the hanger cable tension is resisted, thereby avoiding the slip of the cable clamp. If the pre-tightening force of the cable clamp screw rod is too small, the cable clamp will slip, causing the redistribution of the tension of the adjacent hanger cable, and further changing the line shape of the main beam. This process has a divergent effect, and the result is irreversible, which is extremely difficult to recover. At the same time, the slip of the cable clamp will cause the damage of the cable clamp ring joint (especially the upper end ring joint), so that rainwater enters the inside of the main cable, causing the corrosion of the main cable wire, and seriously affecting the durability of the structure.
[0003] The traditional suspension bridge main cable clamp slip detection method mainly includes visual inspection, manual detection, friction force test and special instrument measurement. However, the traditional detection method has the problems of low detection efficiency, poor accuracy and strong subjectivity. SUMMARY

[0015] S1-3: After testing, the main cable unmanned inspection vehicle is remotely controlled to run from the span to the main tower direction, and the points are sampled along the radial direction of the main cable, and the original point cloud data of the full section of the main cable is obtained;
[0016] S1-4: The point cloud coordinate normalization processing is performed on the original point cloud data of the full section of the main cable;
[0017] S1-5: The related software is used to select the automatic splicing based on the target, and the point cloud splicing and cutting of the data after the point cloud coordinate normalization processing are performed.
[0018] The above-mentioned further scheme has the beneficial effects that by the above-mentioned technical scheme, the original point cloud data is collected by running the installed unmanned inspection vehicle and each device, and the point cloud data is normalized, spliced and cut.
[0019] Further, the normalization in S1-4 includes the following formula:
[0020]
[0021]
[0022]
[0023]
[0024] wherein (x, y, z) is the normalized point cloud coordinate, (a, b, g) is the rotation parameter, (x0, y0, z0) is the point p to be normalized in the instrument coordinate system, (Ax, Ay, Az) is the translation parameter, R(a), R(b) and R(g) are the rotation matrices of the point p in the new three-dimensional coordinate system around the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis.
[0025] The above further scheme has the beneficial effect that the normalization processing of the point cloud data is realized by the above formula, and the point cloud coordinate of the new coordinate system can be obtained by using the formula, thereby providing good data files for subsequent point cloud registration.
[0026] Further, the elimination of redundant point cloud information in S2 is to select points that meet the modeling requirements and can reduce the amount of calculation according to the amount of point cloud data and data requirements, to determine the minimum neighborhood and initial radius, to perform multiple iterations, and to calculate the point cloud distance by using the Euler distance formula, which is
[0027]
[0028] maxd = max {dist(i, j) | 0≤i≤n, 0≤j≤E}

[0043] Further, the triangular mesh optimization processing in S3 includes constructing a triangular mesh model of the point cloud data, deleting the nail-shaped objects in the triangular mesh model, and correcting the wrong polygon mesh to obtain a polygon point cloud model with optimized surface quality.
[0044] The beneficial effect of the further scheme is that after the splicing, cutting and preprocessing of the point cloud are completed, the point cloud data is processed by using related software, and since there is no obvious topological relationship between the points of part of the point cloud data, the triangular mesh optimization processing is required, the point cloud data is constructed into a triangular mesh model by using the "encapsulation" command, the nail-shaped objects in the model are deleted, and the wrong polygon mesh is corrected to obtain a polygon point cloud model with optimized surface quality.
