Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of geological monitoring technology, and in particular to a tilting device, system and tilting method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of geological monitoring, inclinometers are instruments used to measure the apex and azimuth of engineering structures such as boreholes, foundation pits, foundations, walls, and dam slopes.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to eliminate zero drift error, the inclinometer is generally measured from the front inside the inclinometer tube. Then, the inclinometer is manually removed, rotated 180°, and put back into the inclinometer tube for a second measurement from the reverse side. Finally, the average value is taken.

[0004] However, the inclinometer methods in related technologies suffer from low measurement efficiency and are prone to measurement errors due to manual operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a flip-type inclinometer device, system, and inclinometer method to address the problems of low measurement efficiency and easy measurement errors caused by manual operation in related technologies.

[0006] On one hand, this application provides a flip-type inclinometer, which includes a first traveling mechanism, a second traveling mechanism, a flipping component, and a flipping mechanism. The flipping component is equipped with an inclinometer sensor. The first traveling mechanism and the second traveling mechanism are respectively connected to the two ends of the flipping component. The first traveling mechanism and the second traveling mechanism are used to fit against the wall of the inclinometer tube and travel along the axial direction of the inclinometer tube to drive the flipping component to move inside the inclinometer tube. The flipping mechanism is connected to the flipping component and is used to fit against the wall of the inclinometer tube and travel around the axial direction of the inclinometer tube to drive the flipping component to rotate around the axial direction of the inclinometer tube.

[0007] In one embodiment, the flipping mechanism includes a first drive wheel, a second drive wheel, a belt, and a first drive member. The first drive wheel and the second drive wheel are each connected to the first drive member via the belt. The first drive member is used to drive the belt to move, thereby causing the first drive wheel and the second drive wheel to rotate, so that the first drive wheel and the second drive wheel can fit against the wall of the inclinometer tube and travel around the axis of the inclinometer tube.

[0008] In one embodiment, the flipping mechanism further includes a second driving member, a first rotating shaft, and a second rotating shaft. The first driving wheel is connected to one side of the second driving member via the first rotating shaft, and the second driving wheel is connected to the other side of the second driving member via the second rotating shaft. The second driving member is used to drive the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft to rotate, so as to drive the first driving wheel and the second driving wheel to rotate around the axes of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, respectively.

[0009] In one embodiment, the flipping mechanism further includes an elastic element, both the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft have the elastic element built in them, and the first drive wheel and the second drive wheel are elastically connected to the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft respectively through the elastic element.

[0010] In one embodiment, a buffer is also included, which is located at one end of the flipper near the second walking mechanism.

[0011] On the one hand, this application provides a tilting system, including the above-mentioned tilting device, and also includes a tilting tube and a traction device. The traction device is used to connect the tilting component of the tilting device to lift the tilting component and move it along the axial direction of the tilting tube.

[0012] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the inclinometer tube is provided with a strip groove and an annular groove. The strip groove extends along the axial direction of the inclinometer tube, and the annular groove is arranged circumferentially around the axial direction of the inclinometer tube. The first and second traveling mechanisms of the flip-type inclinometer device can travel in the strip groove to drive the flipping component of the flip-type inclinometer device to move. The flipping mechanism of the flip-type inclinometer device can rotate around the axial direction of the inclinometer tube in the annular groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the inclinometer tube is provided with multiple sets of annular grooves, wherein one set of annular grooves includes one first annular groove and two second annular grooves. The two second annular grooves are respectively spaced apart on both sides of the first annular groove along the axial direction of the inclinometer tube. The first annular groove is used to accommodate the flipping mechanism, and when the flipping mechanism is accommodated in the first annular groove, the first walking mechanism and the second walking mechanism are respectively accommodated in the two second annular grooves.

[0014] In one embodiment, the traction device is further provided with a control terminal. The flipping mechanism of the flipping inclinometer and the traction device are both signal-connected to the control terminal. The control terminal is used to control the traction device to lift the flipping component and to control the flipping mechanism to move around the axis of the inclinometer tube.

[0015] The flip-type inclinometer device and system of this application, through the arrangement of the first and second traveling mechanisms, ensures that the device can measure at different depth positions inside the inclinometer tube. Furthermore, by driving the flipping component to flip through the flipping mechanism, the device can be quickly flipped inside the inclinometer tube to change the orientation of the inclinometer sensor inside the inclinometer tube, thereby improving measurement efficiency. In addition, since the flipping mechanism of this application can drive the flipping component to flip, secondary measurements on both the front and back sides can be achieved inside the inclinometer tube, avoiding measurement errors caused by manual flipping and thus improving the measurement accuracy of the flip-type inclinometer device and system.

[0016] Furthermore, this application also provides a tilt measurement method applied to the above-mentioned tilt measurement system, the tilt measurement method comprising the following steps:

[0017] The traction device pulls up the flipping component of the flipping inclinometer to release the flipping component to the target measurement depth inside the inclinometer tube;

[0018] The inclination sensor inside the flipping component collects data in the first orientation.

[0019] The flipping mechanism of the flipping inclinometer drives the flipping component to rotate by a preset angle, so that the inclinometer sensor can collect data in the second position.

[0020] The traction device lifts the tilting component according to the target measurement interval, so that the tilting component is located at different depths of the inclinometer tube, so that the inclinometer sensor is located at different depth positions to perform measurements.

[0021] The inclinometer method of this application enables real-time measurement of both the front and back sides at each target measurement interval. This improves measurement efficiency and avoids measurement errors caused by manually removing the device, flipping it, and re-inserting it into the inclinometer tube for secondary measurement, thus improving measurement accuracy.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This diagram shows a schematic representation of the inclinometer system 10 in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1A schematic diagram of the structure of the tilting inclinometer 11 in the inclinometer system 10. This application provides a tilting inclinometer 11, including a first traveling mechanism 100, a second traveling mechanism 200, a tilting member 300, and a tilting mechanism 400. The tilting member 300 is provided with an inclinometer sensor 310. The first traveling mechanism 100 and the second traveling mechanism 200 are respectively connected to the two ends of the tilting member 300. The first traveling mechanism 100 and the second traveling mechanism 200 are used to fit against the wall of the inclinometer tube 12 and travel along the axial direction of the inclinometer tube 12 to drive the tilting member 300 to move inside the inclinometer tube 12. The tilting mechanism 400 is connected to the tilting member 300 and is used to fit against the wall of the inclinometer tube 12 and travel around the axial direction of the inclinometer tube 12 to drive the tilting member 300 to rotate around the axial direction of the inclinometer tube 12, so that the orientation of the inclinometer sensor 310 inside the inclinometer tube 12 can be changed under the drive of the tilting mechanism 400.

[0037] The flip-type inclinometer 11 of this application, through the arrangement of the first walking mechanism 100 and the second walking mechanism 200, ensures that the device can measure at different height positions inside the inclinometer tube 12. Furthermore, the flip mechanism 400 drives the flipping component 300 to flip, realizing the rapid flipping of the device inside the inclinometer tube 12, thereby changing the orientation of the inclinometer sensor 310 inside the inclinometer tube 12 and improving the measurement efficiency. In addition, since the flip mechanism 400 of this application can drive the flipping component 300 to flip, it is possible to achieve two measurements on both the front and back sides inside the inclinometer tube 12, avoiding the measurement errors caused by manual flipping and improving the measurement accuracy of the flip-type inclinometer 11.

[0038] Specifically, to eliminate zero drift error, during inclinometer measurement, a frontal measurement is generally performed first inside the inclinometer tube 12, followed by a reverse measurement after flipping the tube around its axis. The average of the two measurements is then taken. It should be noted that the "frontal direction" and "reverse direction" refer to the two opposing orientations of the flipping component 300, which are also the two opposing orientations of the inclinometer sensor 310. Furthermore, the average of the two measurements refers to the average value under the same measurement depth. This application, through the flipping mechanism 400, enables direct flipping within the inclinometer tube 12 at every measurement depth, thereby improving measurement efficiency. Moreover, compared to the traditional method of first performing a frontal measurement, then removing the flipping component 300 from the tube opening, flipping it, and then re-inserting it into the inclinometer tube 12 for measurement, this design overcomes the measurement error caused by inconsistent measurement heights after re-insertion into the inclinometer tube 12 in the traditional method. Furthermore, this device only requires inserting the flipping component 300 into the inclinometer tube 12 once to complete a complete frontal and reverse measurement, further improving measurement efficiency.

[0039] It should be noted that, in combination Figure 5 As shown, the flip-type inclinometer device 11 of this application needs to be snapped into the strip groove 12a on the inner wall of the inclinometer tube 12, and the measurement is performed by moving on the strip groove 12a. The traditional measurement method requires taking the device out of the tube opening, flipping the device 180 degrees, and re-snagging it into the strip groove 12a to repeat the measurement. Therefore, compared with the traditional measurement method, the present application greatly improves the measurement efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in addition to the aforementioned secondary measurements on both sides, this application uses a flipping mechanism 400 to drive the flipping component 300 to perform flipping, enabling the flipping component 300 to perform measurements at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° positions, thereby further improving measurement accuracy. In one embodiment, the values ​​measured at the 0° and 180° positions are averaged as the measurement value in the target direction; the values ​​measured at the 90° and 270° positions are averaged as the measurement value in the direction perpendicular to the target direction.

[0041] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 400 includes a first drive wheel 411, a second drive wheel 412, a belt 420, and a first drive member 430. The first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 are each connected to the first drive member 430 via the belt 420. The first drive member 430 is used to drive the belt 420 to move, thereby causing the first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 to rotate, so that the first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 can fit against the wall of the inclinometer tube 12 and move around the axis of the inclinometer tube 12.

[0042] Specifically, the aforementioned first driving component 430 can be a small motor, such as a stepper motor or a DC motor. Combined with... Figure 3 As shown, the first driving component 430 has a driving shaft, and the driving wheel assembly 410 also has a wheel axle. The belt 420 is sleeved between the driving shaft and the wheel axle. The first driving component 430 can drive the shaft to rotate, thereby driving the wheel axle to rotate through friction. Ultimately, the first driving wheel 411 and the second driving wheel 412 can travel and rotate in contact with the wall of the inclinometer tube 12. The above structure is simple and reliable, and is easy to disassemble and maintain. For example, the belt 420 can be directly disassembled.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first driving member 430 drives the drive wheel assembly 410 to rotate via belt transmission. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first driving member 430 drives the first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 to rotate via drive gears or drive screws, etc., which should also fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0044] Combination Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 400 further includes a second driving member 440, a first rotating shaft 450, and a second rotating shaft 460. The first driving wheel 411 is connected to one side of the second driving member 440 via the first rotating shaft 450, and the second driving wheel 412 is connected to the other side of the second driving member 440 via the second rotating shaft 460. The second driving member 440 drives the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460 to rotate, thereby causing the first driving wheel 411 and the second driving wheel 412 to rotate around the axes of the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460, respectively. This enables rapid switching of the working modes of the first driving wheel 411 and the second driving wheel 412, which is beneficial for improving the walking efficiency of the device. The aforementioned second driving member 440 can be a small motor, such as a stepper motor or a DC motor.

[0045] Specifically, the second driving component 440 needs to be fixed to the inner wall of the flipping component 300 to maintain its own fixation, thereby realizing the driving of the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460. The above-mentioned fixing method can be welding or gluing.

[0046] When the second driving member 440 simultaneously drives the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460 to rotate, the wheel surface orientation of the first driving wheel 411 and the second driving wheel 412 will change accordingly. Specifically, when the wheel surface orientation of the first driving wheel 411 and the second driving wheel 412 is consistent with the axial direction of the tilting member 300, the first driving wheel 411 and the second driving wheel 412 are in a tilting working state, and the first driving member 430 can drive the first driving wheel 411 and the second driving wheel 412 to travel along the wall of the inclinometer tube 12 to realize the tilting of the tilting member 300; when the wheel surface orientation of the first driving wheel 411 and the second driving wheel 412 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the tilting member 300, that is, when the second driving member 440... When the device is in the flip-over working state, the first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 are rotated 90 degrees. At this time, the first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 can fit into the inclinometer tube 12 and move along the axial direction in the strip groove 12a to drive the device to move and measure at different depths. Understandably, in this working state, the second drive assembly can also be used as the power source for the device to move and measure at different depths. The first walking mechanism 100 and the second walking mechanism 200 act as follow-up mechanisms to maintain the stability of the device.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments, both the first walking mechanism 100 and the second walking mechanism 200 are equipped with omnidirectional wheels, which can adapt to the longitudinal movement and horizontal rotation of the device and improve the smoothness of the device's movement.

[0048] In some embodiments, the axes of the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460 are located on the same straight line, and the axial directions of the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460 are parallel to each other with the length direction of the belt 420, thereby improving the rotational stability of the device.

[0049] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 As shown, the first driving member 430 is mounted on either the first rotating shaft 450 or the second rotating shaft 460. During the rotation of the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460, the first driving member 430 will rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 450. Therefore, the belt 420 will also rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 450. In this embodiment, since the axes of the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460 are located on the same straight line, and the axial directions of the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460 are parallel to the length direction of the belt 420, the structural symmetry of the device can be improved. This helps to reduce the vibration of the first driving member 430 and the second driving member 440 during the driving process, as well as the stretching deformation of the belt 420, thus improving the reliability of the device.

[0050] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 400 further includes an elastic element 470. Both the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460 have built-in elastic elements 470. The first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 are elastically connected to the first rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 460 respectively through the elastic elements 470. This increases the pressure of the first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 against the inner wall of the inclinometer tube 12, thereby increasing friction and reducing the chance of slippage. Furthermore, when the flipping mechanism 400 is inserted into the inclinometer tube 12, the elastic element 470 allows both the first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 to retract towards the second drive element 440, enabling the flipping mechanism 400 to smoothly insert into the inclinometer tube 12. Under the elastic action of the elastic element 470, the first drive wheel 411 and the second drive wheel 412 are tightly pressed against the inner wall of the inclinometer tube 12.

[0051] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first walking mechanism 100 and the second walking mechanism 200 are also provided with the aforementioned elastic element 470, so that the first walking mechanism 100 and the second walking mechanism 200 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the inclinometer tube 12 under the elastic action, further improving the working reliability of the device.

[0052] In some embodiments, the flip-type inclinometer 11 further includes a buffer 500, which is located at one end of the flip-type 300 near the second traveling mechanism 200. This buffer can provide a cushioning effect for the device when it collides with the bottom of the inclinometer tube 12, thus protecting the device.

[0053] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the tilting inclinometer 11 also includes a counterweight, which is located at one end of the tilting member 300 near the second traveling mechanism 200. This allows the device to remain vertical under the influence of gravity, thereby ensuring the measurement effect.

[0054] Specifically, the aforementioned counterweight can be integrally formed with the buffer component 500 to improve structural integrity.

[0055] An embodiment of this application also provides a tilting system 10, including the above-mentioned tilting device 11, a tilting tube 12, and a traction device 13. The tilting device 11 is used to perform moving measurements within the tilting tube 12, and the traction device 13 is used to connect the tilting component 300 of the tilting device 11 to lift the tilting component 300 to move along the axial direction of the tilting tube 12.

[0056] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the inclinometer tube 12 is provided with a strip groove 12a and an annular groove 12b. The strip groove 12a extends along the axial direction of the inclinometer tube 12, and the annular groove 12b is arranged circumferentially around the axial direction of the inclinometer tube 12. The first traveling mechanism 100 and the second traveling mechanism 200 of the flip-type inclinometer device 11 can travel in the strip groove 12a to drive the flipping component 300 of the flip-type inclinometer device 11 to move. The flipping mechanism 400 of the flip-type inclinometer device 11 can rotate in the annular groove 12b around the axial direction of the inclinometer tube 12 to change the orientation of the inclinometer sensor 310 of the flip-type inclinometer device 11 inside the inclinometer tube 12.

[0057] Specifically, the strip groove 12a and annular groove 12b of the inclinometer system 10 of this application are designed to accommodate the working state of the flip-type inclinometer device 11 moving linearly and rotating around the axis within the inclinometer tube 12.

[0058] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the inclinometer tube 12 is provided with multiple sets of annular grooves 12b. Each set of annular grooves 12b includes one first annular groove b1 and two second annular grooves b2. The two second annular grooves b2 are respectively spaced apart on both sides of the first annular groove b1 along the axial direction of the inclinometer tube 12. The first annular groove b1 is used to accommodate the flipping mechanism 400. When the flipping mechanism 400 is accommodated in the first annular groove b1, the first traveling mechanism 100 and the second traveling mechanism 200 are respectively accommodated in the two second annular grooves b2. This ensures that the flipping mechanism 400 can perform the flipping operation smoothly.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, at a preset interval, multiple sets of slots are provided, such as the above-mentioned one first annular groove b1 and two second annular grooves b2 as a group, so as to realize the flipping at different depth positions in the inclinometer tube 12, and the preset interval can be designed according to the actual measurement needs.

[0060] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the traction device 13 is also provided with a control terminal 15. The flipping mechanism 400 and the traction device 13 are both connected to the control terminal 15 by signal. The control terminal 15 is used to control the traction device 13 to lift the flipping component 300, and to control the flipping mechanism 400 to move around the axis of the inclinometer tube 12.

[0061] In some embodiments, the flip-type inclinometer 11 further includes a wireless generator 14, which is connected to the flip-type inclinometer 11 and is used to transmit measurement data, and the control terminal 15 is used to receive the measurement data.

[0062] Specifically, the control terminal 15 includes a power module, a control module, a storage module, a wireless communication module, a circuit board, and a CNC panel. The power module provides power, and in an emergency, it can also power other modules. In one embodiment, the power module can be a solar-powered power source and / or an AC power source. The control module is electrically connected to each module and is responsible for coordinating and controlling the normal operation of each module. The storage module stores various types of data. The wireless communication module receives data transmitted by the tilting inclinometer 11 and can send the data to the back-end service center. The CNC panel is used to set information such as measurement depth, period, and measurement interval before measurement. All the modules are connected to the circuit board.

[0063] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the traction device 13 includes a first guide wheel 13a and a sensing wheel 13b. The guide wheel is equipped with a lifting motor (not shown), which can drive the first guide wheel 13a to rotate to achieve wire winding and unwinding, and can wind the cable onto the spool on the first guide wheel 13a. After the first guide wheel 13a rotates, the cable drives the sensing wheel 13b to rotate. The sensing wheel 13b is equipped with a meter counter (not shown), which can accurately calculate the length of the cable passing through the sensing wheel 13b. The control terminal 15 is connected to the meter counter. The control terminal 15 controls the lifting motor to wind and unwind the cable based on the length of the cable measured on the meter counter, thereby controlling the measurement depth of the tilting inclinometer 11; or the control terminal 15 also controls the movement of the tilting mechanism 400 based on the length of the cable measured on the meter counter.

[0064] Combination Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the traction device 13 includes an automatic cable arranger 13c and a mobile power supply 13d. The mobile power supply 13d is used to power the tilting inclinometer 11, and the automatic cable arranger 13c is used to lift the tilting inclinometer 11 to a preset height. Specifically, when the traction device 13 lifts the tilting inclinometer 11 to its highest point, the tilting inclinometer 11 can come into contact with the mobile power supply 13d and be charged. Furthermore, the tilting inclinometer 11 can maintain a connection with the mobile power supply 13d even when not in operation, thus ensuring sufficient power for the tilting inclinometer 11. The above structure is simple and reliable.

[0065] Combination Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the automatic wire guide 13c includes a second guide wheel c1, a wire guide nut c2, a wire guide screw c3, a winding wheel c4, and a meter counter (not shown). The wire guide nut c2 can move back and forth in the length direction of the wire guide screw c3. The wire guide screw c3 is fixed on the winding wheel c4. The meter counter is used to record the wire length.

[0066] Specifically, a cable is wound on the winding reel c4, and the cable passes through the cable laying nut c2 and abuts against the second guide wheel c1. When the cable laying nut c2 moves back and forth along the length of the cable laying screw c3, the cable laying nut c2 guides the cable to be arranged in an orderly manner on the winding reel c4, improving the ease of cable laying operation; the second guide wheel c1 is connected to a lifting motor, which drives the second guide wheel c1 to rotate to realize the winding and unwinding of the cable. Furthermore, through the arrangement of the cable laying nut c2 and the cable laying screw c3, the reciprocating movement control of the cable laying nut c2 can be converted into the control of the vertical movement distance of the tilting inclinometer device 11, improving the ease of control.

[0067] This application also provides a method for inclinometer measurement, applied to the aforementioned inclinometer system 10, with the following specific steps:

[0068] The traction device 13 pulls up the flipping component 300 of the flipping inclinometer 11 to release the flipping component 300 to the target measurement depth inside the inclinometer tube 12.

[0069] The inclinometer 310 inside the flipper 300 collects data in the first orientation.

[0070] The flipping mechanism 400 of the flipping inclinometer 11 drives the flipping component 300 to rotate a preset angle, so that the inclinometer sensor 310 can collect data in the second position.

[0071] The traction device 13 lifts the flipping member 300 according to the target measurement interval, so that the flipping member 300 is located at different depths of the inclinometer tube 12, so that the inclinometer sensor 310 is located at different depth positions to perform measurements.

[0072] Specifically, the aforementioned inclinometer sensor 310 collects angle data at corresponding positions, and then continuously collects data along different depths of the inclinometer tube 12 to obtain the change in inclination angle. Finally, it is converted into horizontal displacement data through a formula, thereby realizing the monitoring of retaining walls and horizontal displacement of soil in foundation pit engineering. The principle of angle measurement by the inclinometer sensor 310 inside the inclinometer tube 12 is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0073] The inclinometer method of this application enables real-time measurement of both the front and back sides at each target measurement interval. This improves measurement efficiency and avoids measurement errors caused by manually removing the device, flipping it, and re-inserting it into the inclinometer tube 12 for secondary measurement, thus improving measurement accuracy.

[0074] In some embodiments, the preset angle can be 90°, 180°, and 270°. Specifically, this application uses a flipping mechanism 400 to drive the flipping member 300 to flip, enabling the flipping member 300 to perform measurements at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° positions, thereby further improving measurement accuracy. For example, in one embodiment, the values ​​measured at 0° and 180° are averaged as the measurement value in the target direction; the values ​​measured at 90° and 270° are averaged as the measurement value in the direction perpendicular to the target direction. This increases the measurement control group, further improving measurement accuracy.

[0075] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0076] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
