[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6In this embodiment of the invention, a safety monitoring device for rail transit construction includes a track 1, a mounting platform 2 slidably disposed on the track 1, a support frame 31 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the mounting platform 2, a display screen 32 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 31, and an alarm 33 fixedly mounted on the top of the display screen 32; several sub-detection units are arranged on both sides of the track 1, each sub-detection unit including a connector 27, an adjusting rod 28 slidably connected to the inner wall of the connector 27, several adjusting rings 29 rotatably connected to the middle of the adjusting rod 28, and photoelectric sensors 30 fixedly mounted in the middle of each adjusting ring 29; by setting several dispersed sub-detection units, the device utilizes the light on them... The electrical sensor 30 monitors the area on both sides of track 1. When construction personnel or vehicles cross the sub-detection unit, the alarm 33 sounds and displays the crossing position on the display screen 32, thereby reminding users to stay away from the track 1 position to ensure construction safety. In this embodiment, the photoelectric sensor 30 can be a cut-off type photoelectric sensor 30, which triggers the alarm 33 when personnel or equipment cross and cause signal interruption. Alternatively, cameras can be installed on each sub-detection unit to take photos of the crossing and display them on the display screen 32 to facilitate workers in determining the crossing position. In specific implementation, several sub-detection units can be used to arbitrarily enclose and construct a construction area to achieve safety monitoring of the area.

[0026] Because the adjustment rings 29 are rotatably connected, the detection direction of the photoelectric sensor 30 is adjustable, enabling the enclosure of construction areas of different shapes. When needed, the signal generating end and receiving end of the interrupted photoelectric sensor 30 can be set on two different sub-detection units. By adjusting the position of the adjustment rings 29 and the height of the plug pipe 27 and the adjustment rod 28, the receiving end and the transmitting end can be aligned. When construction causes ground subsidence or earthwork displacement near track 1, the receiving end and the transmitting end are misaligned, the signal is interrupted, and an alarm is triggered. This enables safety monitoring of construction and avoids safety hazards to the operation of track 1 caused by construction operations.

[0027] To facilitate insertion of the connector 27 into the ground, a connector rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector 27. The bottom of the connector rod is set in a pointed cone shape. To facilitate understanding of the insertion depth of the connector 27, scale lines are coated on the outer walls of both the connector 27 and the adjusting rod 28. A displacement stop is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting rod 28.

[0028] Two symmetrically arranged track detection units are fixedly installed on the other side of the top of the mounting platform 2. An operating platform is set between the two track detection units. An operating panel is set on the top of the operating platform. Space is left on one side of the operating platform for the operator to stand or install a seat. The track detection unit includes a detection box 3. A cover plate is snapped to the top of the detection box 3. The bottom of the detection box 3 is provided with an upper detection component for detecting the side of the track 1 and a side detection component for detecting the side of the track 1.

[0029] The upper detection assembly includes an outer cover plate 12, a detection box 15 fixedly connected to the middle of the outer cover plate 12, a push plate 17 slidably connected to the middle of the detection box 15, a detection frame fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 17, a contact guide wheel 16 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the detection frame, a displacement sensor fixedly installed at one end of the inner wall of the detection box 15, and a reset spring fixedly connected to the side of the push plate 17 near the displacement sensor. By setting up the upper detection assembly, the vertical misalignment of the track 1 is detected. When the track 1 is misaligned in the vertical direction, or when there is debris attached to its top surface, the contact guide rail will be pushed in the vertical direction when passing through, thereby driving the push plate 17 to move. The displacement sensor detects the displacement of the push plate 17 and sends a signal to remind the operator to handle it.

[0030] To enable the overall driving of the mounting platform 2 and the monitoring device, a drive motor is provided on one side of the detection box 15, and a drive wheel 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor; a support plate is provided on the other side of the detection box 15, and several support rollers 13 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the support plate. The bottom of the contact guide wheel 16, the bottom of the drive wheel 14 and the bottom of the several support rollers 13 are all in contact with the top surface of the track 1.

[0031] The side detection assembly includes a sliding seat plate 6, which is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the detection box 3. A locking bolt is threadedly connected to the middle of the sliding seat plate 6, and a side wheel mounting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding seat plate 6. A side guide wheel is rotatably connected to the bottom of the side wheel mounting rod 4, and the side guide wheel is in close contact with the side of the track 1. By setting the side guide wheel and other structures, the overall lateral limit of the device is realized, and the stability of the device as a whole during the movement along the track 1 is improved.

[0032] An operating port is provided on one side of the testing box 3. One end of the operating port is correspondingly set to one side of the sliding seat plate 6. The operating port allows the operator to easily move and adjust the sliding seat plate 6. Adjusting the sliding seat plate 6 adjusts the position of the side guide wheel, thereby improving the fit stability between the track 1 and the track.

[0033] The side guide wheel includes an inner ring 7, the inner wall of which is rotatably connected to the side wheel mounting rod 4. An outer ring 8 is provided on the outer side of the inner ring 7. Several pressure sensors 10 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the inner ring 7. A push spring 9 is fixedly connected between the pressure sensor 10 and the outer ring 8. A contact wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the outer ring 8. A pad 11 is provided in the gap between the pressure sensors 10, and the height of the pad 11 is higher than the height of the pressure sensor 10. By setting several pressure sensors 10 between the inner ring 7 and the outer ring 8, the pressure state of the side guide wheel can be detected. When the track 1 undergoes lateral torsional deviation, the push pressure on the side guide wheel changes when it passes through. The pressure sensor 10 detects this and sends a signal to remind the operator to handle the situation.

[0034] A water tank 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the testing box 3. A water pump 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the testing box 3. A water inlet pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 18. One end of the water inlet pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the water tank 21. A water outlet pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 18. The water outlet pipe 19 extends to the bottom of the mounting platform 2. An adjustment frame is fixedly connected to one end of the water outlet pipe 19. A directional motor is fixedly connected to one side of the adjustment frame. A directional nozzle 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the directional motor. One end of the directional nozzle 20 is rotatably connected to the water outlet pipe 19. The directional nozzle 20 is a slit nozzle. By setting up the water tank 21 and the air pump, water is delivered to the inside of the track 1 or the middle of the track 1 to clean the track 1. The water outlet position is adjusted by adjusting the attitude of the directional motor and the adjustment of the nozzle.

[0035] A partition plate 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 21, dividing the inner cavity of the water tank 21 into several storage chambers. The top of each storage chamber is fitted with a sealing cover 26, and the sealing cover 26 has a vent hole in the middle. The bottom of each storage chamber is fixedly connected to a diversion pipe 24, and a diversion control valve 25 is fixedly installed in the middle of each diversion pipe 24. One end of each diversion pipe 24 is connected to the inlet pipe 23. By setting the partition plate 22 to divide the inner cavity of the water tank 21 into several areas, the water tank 21 can simultaneously hold multiple different solutions, thereby realizing multiple functions including cleaning, weeding, and maintenance near the track 1. When different solutions need to be output, the diversion control valve 25 on the diversion pipe 24 connected to the storage chamber containing the corresponding solution is opened, and the diversion control valve 25 on the other diversion pipes 24 is closed.

[0036] In use, several sub-detection units are set on both sides of the track 1, and photoelectric sensors 30 are activated to monitor both sides of the track 1; when personnel or construction equipment cross the track and cause signal interruption, the alarm 33 is triggered; the display screen 32 displays the location of the sub-detection unit where the crossing occurs; cameras can also be installed on each sub-detection unit to take photos during the crossing and display them on the display screen 32, so that the operator can remind the crosser to pay attention.

[0037] The drive motor drives the drive wheel 14 to rotate, thereby moving the entire device along the track 1. During the movement, the contact wheel 5 contacts the side of the track 1, and the bottom of the contact guide wheel 16, the bottom of the drive wheel 14, and the bottom of several supporting rollers 13 all contact the top surface of the track 1.

[0038] When track 1 undergoes lateral torsional deviation, or when debris is attached to its side, the pushing pressure on the side guide wheel changes as it passes through, which in turn causes displacement between the contact wheel 5, the outer ring 8, and the inner ring 7, causing the pushing spring 9 to move. The pressure sensor 10 detects the change in force and sends out a signal.

[0039] When track 1 is misaligned in the vertical direction, or when there is debris attached to its top surface, the contact guide rail will be pushed in the vertical direction when it passes through, which will drive the push plate 17 to move. The displacement sensor detects the displacement of the push plate 17 and sends a signal to remind the operator to handle it.

[0040] When it is necessary to clean track 1, the diversion control valve 25 on the diversion pipe 24 connected to the storage chamber containing clean water is opened, the water pump 18 is started, the clean water entering through the inlet pipe 23 is sent out through the outlet pipe 19, and then sprayed onto track 1 by the directional nozzle 20. The directional motor drives the directional nozzle 20 to rotate, thereby cleaning track 1 and the middle area of ​​the passageway.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
