To ensure the quality of pile foundations, sonic logging tubes, as an efficient and non-destructive testing method, are widely used in monitoring, evaluating, and maintaining the quality of pile foundation construction.

[0003] Sonic logging tubes are pre-embedded inside the pile foundation. After the pile foundation construction is completed, a sonic logging instrument is lowered into the sonic logging tube to send sonic signals and receive the reflected sonic signals. By analyzing parameters such as the propagation speed and waveform of the sonic signals, it is possible to determine whether there are defects inside the pile foundation, such as cavities or cracks. This method has advantages such as high accuracy, high reliability, and high speed, enabling timely detection and resolution of problems inside the pile foundation, ensuring project quality and safety.

[0004] Although sonic logging tubes play an important role in pile foundation testing, they also face some problems in actual use. The most prominent problem is that when the ends of the sonic logging tubes are not properly sealed during construction, concrete and soil can easily enter and adhere to the inner wall, causing the sonic detector to get stuck when it is lowered into the sonic logging tube, thus preventing normal testing.

[0042] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0043] In existing technologies, acoustic logging tube testing is an important non-destructive testing method that utilizes the propagation characteristics of sound waves in a medium. Due to its non-destructive nature, high efficiency, and accuracy, this testing method has been widely used in modern engineering fields, playing an irreplaceable role, particularly in construction, bridge, tunnel, and pile foundation engineering.

[0044] Generally, before pouring concrete, tools such as plugs are used to seal the end of the sonic logging tube 1. After pouring, the plugs are removed before measurement. However, during construction, due to work errors, problems such as not setting plugs or losing the set plugs are common. If concrete or soil is accidentally dropped into the sonic logging tube 1, it is difficult to remove after hardening, causing the sonic detector to be unable to perform normal detection inside the sonic logging tube 1.

[0045] To address the problem of blockage in the sonic logging tube 1, this invention proposes a device for clearing blockages in pile foundation sonic logging tubes.

[0046] Figures 1-2 The present invention discloses the structure of a pile foundation sonic logging pipe blockage removal device, which includes a frame 2a. A removal component 2c and a control component 2d are respectively arranged at both ends of the frame 2a. The removal component 2c is adapted to remove the blockages attached to the wall of the sonic logging pipe 1. Two folding drive components 2b are arranged in a mirror image along the length of the frame 2a. The control component 2d is communicatively connected to the folding drive component 2b and the removal component 2c, respectively, and is adapted to collect the operating parameters of the removal component 2c and the folding drive component 2b, and control the operation of the removal component 2c and the folding drive component 2b. The folding drive component 2b can drive the blockage removal device 2 to move inside the sonic logging pipe 1, moving the blockage removal device 2 to the blockage point of the sonic logging pipe 1.

[0047] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the folding drive component 2b includes a folding structure and a drive structure, wherein:

[0048] The folding structure includes a mounting plate 2b1 fixedly mounted on a frame 2a, a first drive motor 2b3 mounted on the mounting plate 2b1, a lead screw 2b4 rotatably mounted between the mounting plate 2b1 and the end of the frame 2a, the output shaft of the first drive motor 2b3 being connected to the lead screw 2b4 via a first gear set 2b5 to drive the lead screw 2b4 to rotate, a slider 2b2 slidably mounted on the frame 2a, the lead screw 2b4 being threadedly connected to the slider 2b2, one end of a folding arm 2b6 being hinged to the edge of the mounting plate 2b1, the other end of the folding arm 2b6 having a pulley 2b7, one end of a support rod 2b8 being hinged to the edge of the slider 2b2, the other end of the support rod 2b8 being hinged to the folding arm 2b6;

[0049] The drive structure includes a second drive motor 2b9 mounted on the folding arm 2b6. The output end of the second drive motor 2b9 is connected to the shaft of the pulley 2b7 via a second gear set 2b10, which is suitable for driving the pulley 2b7 to rotate. The signal input / output terminals of the control component 2d are respectively connected to the signal input / output terminals of the first drive motor 2b3 and the second drive motor 2b9.

[0050] The working process of the folding drive component 2b includes the following two parts:

[0051] 1. Folding and retracting section: The first gear set 2b5 includes two meshing gears, one large and one small. The large gear is fixedly mounted on the lead screw 2b4 and can drive the lead screw 2b4 to rotate. The small gear is connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 2b3 and can drive the large gear to rotate. After the blockage removal device 2 is suspended into the sonic logging tube 1, the control component 2d controls the first drive motor 2b3 to rotate. The first drive motor 2b3 drives the lead screw 2b4 to rotate through the first gear set 2b5, which consists of two meshing gears. The slider 2b2, which is threaded to the lead screw 2b4, moves along the length of the frame 2a. By driving the support rod 2b8, the folding arm 2b6 is opened / retracted, so that the pulley 2b7 abuts against the inner wall of the sonic logging tube 1.

[0052] 2. Drive section: The second gear set 2b10 includes two meshing gears for transmitting the power output from the output shaft of the second drive motor 2b9 to the pulley 2b7. The two gears are respectively connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 2b9 and the shaft of the pulley 2b7. When it is necessary to drive the blockage removal device 2 to move to the blockage, the control component 2d controls the second drive motor 2b9 to rotate. The second drive motor 2b9 drives the pulley 2b7 to rotate through the second gear set 2b10, thereby achieving the effect of moving the blockage removal device 2 to the blockage.

[0053] It should be noted that, since there are two mirror images of the folding and retracting parts and the driving part, when controlling the folding and retracting parts and the driving part, the two folding driving parts 2b are controlled separately to make them expand / contract synchronously and move in the same direction.

[0054] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the cleaning component 2c includes a third drive motor 2c1 fixedly connected to the frame 2a. The output shaft end of the third drive motor 2c1 is connected to a cutter head 2c2. A sensor 2c3 is provided on the cutter head 2c2 to collect data on the blockage inside the wall of the acoustic tube 1. The signal input / output terminals of the control component 2d are respectively connected to the signal input / output terminals of the third drive motor 2c1, and the signal input terminal of the control component 2d is connected to the signal output terminal of the sensor 2c3.

[0055] The aforementioned sensor 2c3 is either a lidar sensor 2c3 or an ultrasonic sensor 2c3, and serves to obtain the location and range of the blockage. The cutter head 2c2 includes a disc body 2c21, which is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the third drive motor 2c1. Several cutting edges 2c22 that do not affect the data acquisition by the sensor 2c3 are arranged alternately on the disc surface of the disc body 2c21.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the cutting edge 2c22 is detachably mounted from the disc body 2c21. The cutting edge 2c22 has various specifications, and the corresponding specification of the cutting edge 2c22 can be selected and installed according to the inner diameter of the acoustic tube 1, so as to better remove the attached substances that block the tube wall, while avoiding damage to the tube wall.

[0057] The cutting edge 2c22 has a certain gap with the inner wall of the acoustic tube 1 to avoid damage to the inner wall of the acoustic tube 1 during operation. The gap is generally set to 5mm to 10mm.

[0058] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the control unit 2d is equipped with a blockage parameter identification module 2d1, a speed control module 2d2, a pipe wall resistance force calculation module 2d3, and a control module 2d4;

[0059] The blockage parameter identification module 2d1 is adapted to identify the parameters of the blockage, including the location and extent of the blockage, based on the data collected by the sensor 2c3.

[0060] The speed control module 2d2 is adapted to obtain the output power of the third drive motor 2c1 based on the identified blockage parameters.

[0061] When the detected blockage area is large, the output power of the third drive motor 2c1 is increased; when the detected blockage area is small, the output power of the third drive motor 2c1 is decreased. The blockage area is defined as the ratio of the area of ​​the blockage occupying the cross-section of the acoustic tube 1 to the area of ​​the cross-section of the acoustic tube 1. A ratio higher than 1 / 2 is defined as large, and a ratio lower than 1 / 2 is defined as small. The output power can be set to a stepped preset value. When the ratio is higher than 1 / 2, full power output is used, and when the ratio is lower than 1 / 2, half power output is used.

[0062] The pipe wall contact force calculation module 2d3 is suitable for calculating the contact force between the folding drive component 2b and the wall of the acoustic pipe 1 based on the output power of the third drive motor 2c1 and the parameters of the blockage.

[0063] In the above calculation process, based on the range of the blockage and the output power, combined with the parameters of the cutter head 2c2, the reverse resistance generated by the blockage on the blockage removal device 2 during the cutting process is calculated. Based on the reverse resistance, the contact force between the pulley 2b7 and the inner wall of the acoustic tube 1 is calculated to avoid the removal component 2c slipping during the cutting process.

[0064] To further prevent the removal component 2c from slipping during the cutting of blockages, a support column 2b72 is also provided inside the wheel body 2b71 of the pulley 2b7. During the opening of the folding drive component 2b, the pulley 2b7 can be squeezed to deform it. During this process, due to the presence of the support column 2b72, the pressure between the support column 2b72 and the inner wall of the acoustic tube 1 increases during the squeezing process, which enhances the direct friction between the pulley 2b7 and the inner wall of the acoustic tube 1. On the other hand, it also enhances the pulley 2b7's ability to withstand lateral loads, enhances the stability of the blockage removal device 2, and prevents the removal component 2c from slipping during the cutting of blockages.

[0065] The control module 2d4 is adapted to calculate the number of rotations of the first drive motor 2b3 based on the calculated resistance force; and to control the second drive motor 2b9 to drive the blockage removal device 2 to the blockage location based on the data collected by the sensor 2c3; and to control the third drive motor 2c1 to operate based on the output power of the third drive motor 2c1.

[0066] During the control process described above, the control module 2d4 can collect parameters of the first drive motor 2b3, the second drive motor 2b9, and the third drive motor 2c1 to determine the current status of the first drive motor 2b3, the second drive motor 2b9, and the third drive motor 2c1. At the same time, based on the parameters collected by the sensor 2c3, the control module 2d4 controls the first drive motor 2b3, the second drive motor 2b9, and the third drive motor 2c1 respectively.

[0067] like Figures 1-7As shown, a method for using a device to remove blockages from a pile foundation acoustic logging tube includes the following steps:

[0068] S1, adjust the size of the cleaning component 2c of the blockage removal device 2 according to the inner diameter of the sonic logging tube 1 to match the inner diameter of the sonic logging tube 1;

[0069] S2, After the pile foundation concrete has solidified, the blockage removal device 2 is hoisted into the sonic logging tube 1 with the removal component 2c facing down and the control component 2d facing up;

[0070] S3, based on the identification of the blockage in the acoustic tube 1, control the folding drive component 2b to unfold, drive the blockage removal device 2 to move to the blockage and start the removal component 2c to remove the blockage;

[0071] S4, after cleaning is complete, automatically returns to the inlet of the sonic logging tube 1.

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, by setting up a clearing component 2c, when the sonic logging tube 1 is blocked, the clearing component 2c can be driven by the folding drive component 2b to the blockage to perform a clearing operation, thereby opening up the inside of the sonic logging tube 1 and facilitating the detection operation of the sonic wave detector on the pile foundation.

[0073] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the first drive motor 2b3, the second drive motor 2b9, the third drive motor 2c1, the sensor 2c3, and the control component 2d need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0074] The power supply and operating principles of the first drive motor 2b3, the second drive motor 2b9, the third drive motor 2c1, the sensor 2c3, and the control component 2d are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
