[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the number of synchronous pulleys is set to two, and the two synchronous pulleys are symmetrically arranged along the transverse central axis of the side connecting plate.
[0014] This invention also discloses a method for detecting bridge cracks, which uses the aforementioned bridge crack detection device and includes the following steps:
[0015] S1: When inspecting cracks on the side of a bridge, first move the mobile platform to the edge of the bridge;
[0016] S2: Then start the motor. When the motor is running, it rotates through the worm gear and worm wheel, which causes the indexing frame to swing relative to the first support. During this process, the distance between one end of the indexing frame and the guide shaft increases. The traction rope can then move the locking block relative to the indexing frame, thus moving the locking block upward, which in turn drives the pull spring to stretch. During this process, the rotating spur gear will rotate along the fixed tooth connecting bar, which will cause the L-shaped side plate frame to rotate relative to the locking block. This moves the L-shaped side plate frame, which was originally located on the top of the moving vehicle, over the guardrail and to one side of the bridge. This allows the main body of the crack detector to be accurately moved to one side of the bridge, thus preventing the guardrail on the bridge from obstructing crack detection and improving the smoothness of the detection, thereby improving detection efficiency.
[0017] S3: When the motor drives the worm gear to rotate, causing the indexing frame to rotate relative to the first support, the connecting rod will rotate with the worm gear. At this time, the connecting screw will rotate with the connecting rod, so that the guide block limited by the limiting groove can move along the connecting screw in a direction away from the second support. This allows the counterweight to move away from the moving platform. When the L-shaped side panel frame crosses the guardrail and turns to the side of the bridge, the counterweight moves to the farthest distance from the moving platform. In this way, the counterweight can be used to increase the weight on one side of the moving platform, so that the gravity on both sides of the moving platform is balanced, thereby increasing the stability of the moving platform.
[0018] S4: At this time, the staff can manually rotate the rotating plate. When the rotating plate rotates, the movable frame can be moved by adjusting the distance screw. In this way, the distance between the main body of the crack detector and the side of the bridge can be adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection data.
[0019] S5: During the rotation of the adjusting screw, the fixed rod and the main body of the crack detector will move closer to the side of the bridge along with the movement of the movable frame. When the anti-slip wheel contacts the side of the bridge, continue rotating the rotating disc. At this time, the U-shaped insert will move relative to the movable frame. During this process, the supplementary spring extends. As the movable frame moves, the limiting plate can contact the L-shaped blocking plate. At this time, the rotating disc will be limited and cannot continue to rotate. Then, rotate the shifting screw. The rotation of the shifting screw causes the irregular moving frame to drive the locking pin and the pressure rack to move downward, so that the locking pin is inserted into the rotating disc, thereby limiting the rotating disc and preventing the adjusting screw from rotating relative to the L-shaped side plate frame due to equipment vibration during the movement of the moving vehicle. With the added stability of the movable frame, when the pressure rack moves downward, it can actuate the tilting spur gear to rotate. This causes the tilting spur gear to drive the L-shaped obstruction plate to rotate via the rectangular rotating rod, thereby separating the L-shaped obstruction plate from the U-shaped insert. At this time, there will be a certain space between the limiting plate and the movable frame. This allows the fixed rod to be pushed towards the side of the bridge under the elastic restoring force of the supplementary spring. At the same time, the limiting plate will also be squeezed by the protrusion on the side of the bridge, which will continue to stretch the supplementary spring. This allows the limiting plate to have room to move left and right, so that the fixed rod is always in contact with the side of the bridge when the equipment moves. This ensures that the main body of the crack detector is always at the same distance from the side of the bridge, thus guaranteeing the stability of the detection and improving the detection effect.
[0020] S6: When the moving platform moves, the anti-slip wheels are in contact with one side of the bridge, which allows the anti-slip wheels to drive the synchronous pulley to rotate through the second and first transmission bevel gears. The rotation of the synchronous pulley drives the synchronous belt to rotate, which in turn causes the annular brush to rotate with the synchronous belt. This cleans the front and rear of the crack detector body in the direction of movement, preventing dust on the side of the bridge from obscuring the cracks and thus improving the accuracy of the equipment's detection.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] 1. By setting a fixed swing element and adjusting the distance, the motor can be started after the moving platform is moved to the edge of the bridge. When the motor is running, it rotates through a worm gear and worm wheel, causing the shifting frame to swing relative to the first support. During this process, the distance between one end of the shifting frame and the guide shaft increases. The traction rope can then move the locking block relative to the shifting frame, causing the locking block to move upward, thereby stretching the pull spring. During this process, the rotating spur gear will rotate along the fixed gear connecting bar, causing the L-shaped side plate frame to rotate relative to the locking block, thus shifting the original... The L-shaped side panel frame located on top of the mobile platform moves over the guardrail to one side of the bridge, allowing the main body of the crack detector to be precisely moved to one side of the bridge. This prevents the guardrail on the bridge from obstructing crack detection and also improves the smoothness of the detection process, thereby increasing detection efficiency. The main body of the crack detector moves to one side of the bridge under the action of the fixed swing component. At this time, the operator can manually rotate the rotating connecting plate. When the rotating connecting plate rotates, the movable frame can be moved through the adjusting screw, thus adjusting the distance between the main body of the crack detector and the side of the bridge, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection data.
[0023] 2. By setting up a clamping side positioning component, during the rotation of the adjusting screw, the fixed rod and the main body of the crack detector will move closer to the side of the bridge along with the movement of the movable frame. When the anti-slip wheel contacts the side of the bridge, continue rotating the rotating disc. At this time, the U-shaped insert will move relative to the movable frame. During this process, the supplementary spring extends. As the movable frame moves, the limiting plate can contact the L-shaped blocking plate. At this time, the rotating disc will be limited and cannot continue to rotate. Then, rotate the shifting screw. The rotation of the shifting screw causes the irregular moving connecting frame to drive the clamping pin and the pressing rack to move downward, so that the clamping pin is inserted into the rotating disc, thereby limiting the rotating disc and preventing the adjusting screw from being damaged by equipment vibration during the movement of the moving vehicle. Rotating the L-shaped side plate frame increases the stability of the movable frame. When the pressure rack moves downward, it can actuate the tilting spur gear to rotate, causing the tilting spur gear to drive the L-shaped blocking plate to rotate through the rectangular rotating rod. This separates the L-shaped blocking plate from the U-shaped insert block. At this time, there will be a certain space between the limiting plate and the movable frame. This allows the fixed rod to be pushed towards the bridge side under the elastic restoring force of the supplementary spring. At the same time, the limiting plate will also be squeezed by the protrusion on the bridge side, which will continue to stretch the supplementary spring. This allows the limiting plate to have room to move left and right, so that the fixed rod is always in contact with the bridge side when the equipment moves. This ensures that the main body of the crack detector is always at the same distance from the bridge side, thereby improving the detection effect.
[0024] 3. By setting up a weight adjustment unit, when the motor drives the worm gear to rotate the indexing frame relative to the first support, the connecting rod will rotate with the worm gear. At this time, the push connecting screw will rotate with the connecting rod, so that the guide slider limited by the limiting groove can move away from the second support along the push connecting screw. This allows the counterweight to move away from the moving platform. When the L-shaped side plate frame crosses the guardrail and turns to the side of the bridge, the counterweight moves to the farthest distance from the moving platform. In this way, the counterweight can be used to increase the weight on one side of the moving platform, so that the gravity on both sides of the moving platform is balanced. This achieves synchronous counterweighting of the moving platform, thereby increasing the stability of the moving platform.
[0025] 4. By setting up a rotating cleaning unit, when the moving platform moves, the anti-slip wheels are in contact with one side of the bridge. This allows the anti-slip wheels to drive the synchronous pulley to rotate through the second and first transmission bevel gears. The rotation of the synchronous pulley drives the synchronous belt to rotate, which in turn causes the annular brush to rotate with the synchronous belt. This cleans the front and rear of the crack detector body in the direction of movement, preventing dust on the side of the bridge from obscuring the cracks and thus improving the accuracy of the equipment's detection.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. In the description of this invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "linked," and "set up" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. The following describes embodiments of the invention based on its overall structure.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 8 In this embodiment of the invention, a bridge crack detection device includes a mobile platform 1, a first support 2 mounted on the top of the mobile platform 1, a second support 3 disposed on the top of the mobile platform 1 away from the first support 2, a motor 4 mounted on one side of the first support 2, an L-shaped side plate frame 513 connected to the top of the first support 2 via a fixed swing member, the first support 2 and the second support 3 connected via the fixed swing member, the bottom of the L-shaped side plate frame 513 connected to the crack detector body 530 via a distance adjuster, and a clamping side positioning component for performing distance detection on one side of the crack detector body 530.
[0038] In this embodiment: When detecting cracks on the side of a bridge, the moving platform 1 is first moved to the edge of the bridge. Then, the motor 4 is started. When the motor 4 is operating, it rotates the crack detector body 530 to one side of the bridge through the fixed swing component, thereby accurately placing the crack detector body 530. Subsequently, the staff manually adjusts the distance between the crack detector body 530 and one side of the bridge by operating the distance adjuster. The crack detector body 530 is started and the moving platform 1 is pushed to move. During this process, the distance between the crack detector body 530 and one side of the bridge is always equal when moving relative to the bridge by the distance clamping side component. This can prevent detection errors caused by the crack detector body 530 being too close or too far from the side of the bridge, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection data.
[0039] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8The fixed component includes a worm gear 522 connected to the output end of the motor 4. A rotary axis 507 is rotatably connected to the top of the first support 2 via a rotating shaft. A worm wheel 523 located inside the first support 2 is provided at the bottom of the rotary axis 507, meshing with the worm gear 522. A pull spring 508 is installed inside the rotary axis 507, and a locking block 509 is connected to the top of the pull spring 508. The locking block 509 and the rotary axis 507 are slidably connected via a sliding groove. A fixed pulley 510 is installed on one side of the top of the rotary axis 507. The top of the second support 3 is provided with... A traction rope 505 is fixed to the top of the fixed shaft 504 and the locking block 509. The traction rope 505 passes around the fixed pulley 510 and is connected to the fixed shaft 504. A driven spur gear 511 is rotatably connected to one side of the locking block 509 through a bearing. A fixed toothed connecting bar 514 is fixed to one side of the indexing frame 507. The fixed toothed connecting bar 514 meshes with the driven spur gear 511. A transverse rod 512 is fixed to one end of the driven spur gear 511. An L-shaped side plate frame 513 is fixed to one end of the transverse rod 512. A weight adjustment unit connected to the moving car plate 1 is connected to one end of the worm gear 522.
[0040] In this embodiment: After the mobile platform 1 is moved to the edge of the bridge, the motor 4 can be started. When the motor 4 is operating, it rotates through the worm gear 522 and worm wheel 523, thereby causing the indexing frame 507 to swing relative to the first support 2. During this process, the distance between one end of the indexing frame 507 and the guide shaft 504 increases. The traction rope 505 can then move the locking block 509 relative to the indexing frame 507, thus causing the locking block 509 to move upward, thereby driving the pull spring 508 to stretch. During this process, the spur gear 511 will rotate along the fixed tooth connecting bar 514, thus causing the L-shaped side plate frame 513 to rotate relative to the locking block 509. This moves the L-shaped side plate frame 513, which was originally located at the top of the mobile platform 1, over the guardrail to one side of the bridge, so that the crack detector body 530 is accurately moved to one side of the bridge. This prevents the guardrail on the bridge from obstructing crack detection and also improves the smoothness of detection, thereby improving detection efficiency.
[0041] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 8 The weight adjustment unit includes a connecting rod 506 fixed to one end of the worm gear 522. A push connecting screw 544 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 506. A limiting groove 501 is opened on the top of the moving plate 1. The limiting groove 501 is located below the push connecting screw 544. A guide slider 503 is sleeved on the outside of the push connecting screw 544. The bottom of the guide slider 503 is located inside the limiting groove 501. A counterweight block 502 is fixed to one end of the guide slider 503. Fixed locking blocks 545 are fixed on both sides of the guide slider 503. The fixed locking blocks 545 are located between the first support 2 and the second support 3.
[0042] In this embodiment: when the motor 4 drives the worm gear 522 to rotate the indexing frame 507 relative to the first support 2, the connecting rod 506 will rotate with the worm gear 522. At this time, the connecting screw 544 will rotate with the connecting rod 506. In this way, the guide slider 503, which is limited by the limiting groove 501, can move away from the second support 3 along the connecting screw 544. In this way, the counterweight 502 can move away from the moving platform 1. When the L-shaped side panel frame 513 crosses the guardrail and turns to the side of the bridge, the counterweight 502 moves to the farthest distance from the moving platform 1. In this way, the counterweight 502 can be used to increase the weight on one side of the moving platform 1, so that the gravity on both sides of the moving platform 1 is balanced, thereby increasing the stability of the moving platform 1.
[0043] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The adjusting device includes an adjusting screw 517 rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the L-shaped side plate frame 513 via a bearing.

A U-shaped plug 520 is inserted into one side of the movable frame 518. The U-shaped plug 520 extends to the other side of the movable frame 518. A supplementary spring 519 connected to the movable frame 518 is installed on the inner side of the U-shaped plug 520. A limiting plate 534 is fixed to one end of the U-shaped plug 520. A mounting base 535 is installed at one end of the limiting plate 534. A crack detector body 530 is installed at one end of the mounting base 535.
[0044] In this embodiment: the main body 530 of the crack detector moves to one side of the bridge under the action of the fixed swing component. At this time, the staff can manually rotate the rotating connecting plate 525. When the rotating connecting plate 525 rotates, the movable frame 518 can be moved by the adjusting screw 517. In this way, the distance between the main body 530 of the crack detector and the side of the bridge can be adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection data.
[0045] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 , Figure 6 The L-shaped side plate frame 513 has sliding grooves on both sides that fit with the top of the movable frame 518, and the top of the movable frame 518 has threaded holes that fit with the adjusting screw 517.
[0046] In this embodiment, the structure is provided so that when the adjusting screw 517 rotates relative to the L-shaped side plate frame 513, the movable frame 518 moves along the adjusting screw 517, thereby increasing the stability of the movable frame 518's movement.
[0047] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The clamping side positioning assembly includes a fixed rod 533 fixed to one end of a limiting plate 534. The fixed rod 533 is located on both sides of the crack detector body 530. One end of the fixed rod 533 is rotatably connected to an anti-slip wheel 531 via a bearing. Rectangular rotating rods 528 are rotatably connected to both sides of an L-shaped side plate frame 513 via bearings. One end of the rectangular rotating rod 528 is fixed with a tilting spur gear 527. An L-shaped blocking plate 521 is sleeved on the outer side of the rectangular rotating rod 528. A rotating sleeve 542 is fixed to one end of the L-shaped blocking plate 521. The rotating sleeve 542 is rotatably connected to the clamping side plate 534 via a bearing. Inside the movable frame 518, one side of the L-shaped side plate frame 513 is rotatably connected to a shifting screw 515 via a rotating shaft. A special-shaped moving connecting frame 516 is sleeved on the outside of the shifting screw 515. The special-shaped moving connecting frame 516 and the L-shaped side plate frame 513 are slidably connected via a sliding groove.

A rotating cleaning unit is provided on the outside of the fixed rod 533.
[0048] In this embodiment: During the rotation of the adjusting screw 517, the fixed rod 533 and the crack detector body 530 will move closer to the side of the bridge as the movable frame 518 moves. When the anti-slip wheel 531 contacts the side of the bridge, the rotating connecting plate 525 continues to rotate. At this time, the U-shaped insert 520 will move relative to the movable frame 518. During this process, the supplementary spring 519 extends. As the movable frame 518 moves, the limiting plate 534 can contact the L-shaped blocking plate 521. At this time, the rotating connecting plate 525 will be limited and cannot continue to rotate. Then, the shifting screw 515 is rotated. The rotation of the shifting screw 515 causes the irregular moving connecting frame 516 to drive the locking pin 524 and the pressing rack 529 to move downward, so that the locking pin 524 is inserted into the rotating connecting plate 525, thereby limiting the rotating connecting plate 525 and preventing the adjusting screw 517 from moving relative to the L-shaped side due to the vibration of the equipment during the movement of the moving vehicle 1. The rotation of the plate frame 513 increases the stability of the movable frame 518. When the pressure rack 529 moves downward, it can drive the tilting spur gear 527 to rotate. The tilting spur gear 527 drives the L-shaped blocking plate 521 to rotate through the rectangular rotating rod 528, thereby separating the L-shaped blocking plate 521 from the U-shaped insert block 520. At this time, there will be a certain space between the limiting plate 534 and the movable frame 518. This allows the fixed rod 533 to be pushed towards the side of the bridge under the elastic restoring force of the supplementary spring 519. At the same time, the limiting plate 534 will also be squeezed by the protrusion on the side of the bridge, which will continue to stretch the supplementary spring 519. This allows the limiting plate 534 to have room to move left and right, so that the fixed rod 533 is always in contact with the side of the bridge when the equipment moves. This ensures that the main body of the crack detector 530 is always at the same distance from the side of the bridge, thus ensuring the stability of the detection and improving the detection effect.
[0049] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 6 The inner diameter of the rotating sleeve 542 is greater than the length and width of the rectangular rotating rod 528, and the top of the L-shaped blocking plate 521 is provided with a through hole that matches the rectangular rotating rod 528.
[0050] In this embodiment, by setting this structure, the rectangular rotating rod 528 can rotate, causing the L-shaped blocking plate 521 to rotate, while also reducing the frictional force generated by the L-shaped blocking plate 521 during its movement along the rectangular rotating rod 528.
[0051] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 5 , Figure 7The rotary cleaning unit includes a side clamping plate 539 fixed to one side of the fixed rod 533, a second transmission bevel gear 537 fixed to the top of the anti-slip wheel 531, the second transmission bevel gear 537 being located above the fixed rod 533, a clamping shaft 543 rotatably connected to one side of the side clamping plate 539 via a bearing, the clamping shaft 543 extending to the other side of the side clamping plate 539, a first transmission bevel gear 536 fixed to one end of the clamping shaft 543, the first transmission bevel gear 536 meshing with the second transmission bevel gear 537, a synchronous pulley 541 fixed to the end of the clamping shaft 543 away from the first transmission bevel gear 536, a synchronous belt 538 sleeved on the outside of the synchronous pulley 541, an annular brush 532 provided on the outside of the synchronous belt 538, and a supplementary block 540 located inside the synchronous belt 538 provided on one side of the side clamping plate 539.
[0052] In this embodiment: when the moving platform 1 moves, the anti-slip wheel 531 is in contact with one side of the bridge, so the anti-slip wheel 531 drives the synchronous wheel 541 to rotate through the second transmission bevel gear 537 and the first transmission bevel gear 536. When the synchronous wheel 541 rotates, it drives the synchronous belt 538 to rotate, so that the annular brush 532 rotates with the synchronous belt 538, thereby cleaning the front and rear of the crack detector body 530 in the direction of movement, preventing dust on the side of the bridge from obscuring the cracks, thereby improving the accuracy of the equipment detection.
[0053] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 7 There are two synchronous pulleys 541, and the two synchronous pulleys 541 are symmetrically arranged along the transverse central axis of the side connecting plate 539.
[0054] In this embodiment, by setting this structure, the synchronous belt 538 rotates stably when the synchronous pulley 541 rotates, thereby increasing the stability of the rotation of the annular brush 532 and improving the cleaning effect of the annular brush 532 on the bridge.
[0055] The following describes a method for detecting bridge cracks, based on the aforementioned bridge crack detection device, specifically including the following steps:
[0056] S1: When inspecting cracks on the side of the bridge, first move the mobile platform 1 to the edge of the bridge;
[0057] S2: Then start motor 4. When motor 4 is running, it rotates through worm 522 and worm wheel 523, which causes the indexing frame 507 to swing relative to the first support 2. During this process, the distance between one end of the indexing frame 507 and the guide shaft 504 increases. The traction rope 505 can move the locking block 509 relative to the indexing frame 507, which can move the locking block 509 upward, thereby driving the pull spring 508 to stretch. During this process, the spur gear 511 will rotate along the fixed tooth connecting bar 514, which can make the L-shaped side plate frame 513 rotate relative to the locking block 509. This will move the L-shaped side plate frame 513, which was originally located on the top of the moving vehicle plate 1, over the guardrail to the side of the bridge, so that the crack detector body 530 can be accurately moved to the side of the bridge. This can prevent the guardrail on the bridge from obstructing the crack detection and also improve the smoothness of the detection, thereby improving the detection efficiency.
[0058] S3: When the motor 4 drives the worm gear 522 to rotate the indexing frame 507 relative to the first support 2, the connecting rod 506 will rotate with the worm gear 522. At this time, the connecting screw 544 will rotate with the connecting rod 506. In this way, the guide slider 503, which is limited by the limiting groove 501, can move away from the second support 3 along the connecting screw 544. In this way, the counterweight 502 can move away from the moving platform 1. When the L-shaped side plate frame 513 crosses the guardrail and turns to the side of the bridge, the counterweight 502 moves to the farthest distance from the moving platform 1. In this way, the counterweight 502 can be used to increase the weight on one side of the moving platform 1, so that the gravity on both sides of the moving platform 1 is balanced, thereby increasing the stability of the moving platform 1.
[0059] S4: At this time, the staff can manually rotate the rotating plate 525. When the rotating plate 525 rotates, the movable frame 518 can be moved by adjusting the distance screw 517. In this way, the distance between the main body 530 of the crack detector and the side of the bridge can be adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection data.
[0060] S5: During the rotation of the adjusting screw 517, the fixed rod 533 and the crack detector body 530 will move closer to the side of the bridge as the movable frame 518 moves. When the anti-slip wheel 531 contacts the side of the bridge, the rotating connecting plate 525 continues to rotate. At this time, the U-shaped insert block 520 will move relative to the movable frame 518. During this process, the supplementary spring 519 extends. As the movable frame 518 moves, the limiting plate 534 can contact the L-shaped blocking plate 521. At this time, the rotating connecting plate 525 will be limited and cannot continue to rotate. Then, the shifting screw 515 is rotated. The rotation of the shifting screw 515 causes the irregular moving connecting frame 516 to drive the locking pin 524 and the pressing rack 529 to move downward, so that the locking pin 524 is inserted into the rotating connecting plate 525, thereby limiting the rotating connecting plate 525 and preventing the adjusting screw 517 from moving relative to the L-shaped side plate due to the vibration of the equipment during the movement of the moving vehicle plate 1. The rotation of frame 513 increases the stability of the movable frame 518. When the pressure rack 529 moves downward, it can drive the tilting spur gear 527 to rotate. The tilting spur gear 527 drives the L-shaped blocking plate 521 to rotate through the rectangular rotating rod 528, thereby separating the L-shaped blocking plate 521 from the U-shaped insert block 520. At this time, there will be a certain space between the limiting plate 534 and the movable frame 518. This allows the fixed rod 533 to be pushed towards the side of the bridge under the elastic restoring force of the supplementary spring 519. At the same time, the limiting plate 534 will also be squeezed by the protrusion on the side of the bridge, which will continue to stretch the supplementary spring 519. This allows the limiting plate 534 to have room to move left and right, so that the fixed rod 533 is always in contact with the side of the bridge when the equipment moves. This ensures that the main body of the crack detector 530 is always at the same distance from the side of the bridge, thus ensuring the stability of the detection and improving the detection effect.
[0061] S6: When the moving platform 1 moves, the anti-slip wheel 531 is in contact with one side of the bridge, so the anti-slip wheel 531 drives the synchronous wheel 541 to rotate through the second transmission bevel gear 537 and the first transmission bevel gear 536. When the synchronous wheel 541 rotates, it drives the synchronous belt 538 to rotate, so that the annular brush 532 rotates with the synchronous belt 538. This cleans the front and rear of the crack detector body 530 in the direction of movement, preventing dust on the side of the bridge from obscuring the cracks, thereby improving the accuracy of the equipment detection.
