Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel lining detection equipment, and in particular to an end fine-tuning device for a lining detection radar bracket. Background Art

[0002] Lining inspection is a technology used to evaluate the structural integrity and safety of tunnel linings. Its purpose is to detect cracks, voids, leaks or other potential structural problems in the tunnel lining. In the inspection of tunnel lining structures, the radar system needs to scan the exact location to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. However, due to the complexity of the internal environment of the tunnel and the irregularities of the lining surface, the precise positioning and stable support of the radar equipment has become a challenge. Traditional radar brackets often lack flexibility and fine adjustment mechanisms, which limits the accuracy and efficiency of radar detection.

[0003] When the radar is mounted on a vehicle and is detecting along a tunnel, it is necessary to adjust the radar to be closer to the tunnel surface for detection at any time due to the turns of the tunnel, etc. However, the radar adjustment freedom in the existing technology is insufficient, resulting in poor and untimely radar adjustment.

[0004] When the radar needs to be aimed at a specific lining area for detailed inspection, the insufficient fine-tuning capability of the bracket may cause deviations in the detection angle and position, thus affecting the accuracy of the inspection results.

[0005] Due to the different curved surfaces of the tunnel, when the radar has just completed the detection of one side of the tunnel, it needs to be adjusted in time to detect the other side. In this process, it is necessary to consider the rotation of the radar along the tunnel axis to get close to the tunnel wall, the flatness of the tunnel surface, and the impact of the tunnel turning on the adjustment. This process is a comprehensive process. The existing technology adjustment is difficult to achieve multi-dimensional precise adjustment on the one hand, and it is difficult to ensure that the radar is closer to the tunnel wall on the other hand.

[0006] For example, the patent with publication number CN211148913U discloses a multi-directional detection vehicle device for tunnel lining radar detection, which belongs to the technical field of tunnel lining radar detection devices. The multi-directional detection vehicle device for tunnel lining radar detection includes a rail car and an antenna support rod. The bottom of the rail car is connected to the rail through a rail wheel. The rail car is provided with a triangular bracket, and the bottom of the triangular bracket is respectively connected to the upper surface of the rail car; when in use, the rail wheel under the rail car can be used to move forward and backward on the track, and the antenna can be flexibly rotated to contact any position of the tunnel lining through the antenna support rod and the rotating bearing device; finally, by adjusting the tightness of the control line, ensure that the detection radar antenna maintains balance and close to the concrete lining surface, and ensure the safety of the detection personnel and equipment. The disadvantage of this device is that the tightness of the control line is fully subjectively judged, there is no practical actuator, and there is no specific adjustment strategy. In the actual control process, it is affected by many factors such as tunnel curves, ground flatness, and tunnel surface smoothness, and the adjustment is an overall movement in one dimension, which cannot be effectively implemented.

[0007] For example, the patent with publication number CN214068901U discloses a support for geological radar for tunnel lining detection, which involves the field of radar supports. The patent for the support for geological radar for tunnel lining detection includes a base, a rotating rod, a rotating shaft, a hydraulic cylinder, a moving rod, a support seat, a motor, a threaded slider, and a clamp. When in use, the radar antenna is first placed on the support seat, and then the motor is started. The motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, so that the threaded rod drives the threaded slider to move, thereby clamping the radar antenna. After the radar antenna is fixed, the movable rod can be pulled to disengage the fixed gear from the fixed block, and then the handle is turned. The engagement of the bevel gear 1 and the bevel gear 2 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft, so that the angle of the radar antenna can be adjusted, the hydraulic cylinder can adjust the height of the radar antenna, and the hydraulic telescopic rod can adjust the curvature of the radar antenna. The defect of this patent is that when the hydraulic cylinder adjusts the height of the radar antenna, it will actively change the angle between the radar and the tunnel surface, and the radar and the tunnel surface cannot be well approached.

[0008] For example, the patent with publication number CN209822851U discloses a portable geological radar antenna bracket for tunnel lining detection, which belongs to the field of non-destructive testing of tunnel lining projects. The patent of the portable geological radar antenna bracket for tunnel lining detection consists of a square bottom plate and baffles on all sides to form a box without a top cover for loading the geological radar antenna. Fixed buckle strips are arranged at the four corners of the box. Three support rods are connected by hinges under the bottom plate of the box, and the main support rods are connected by connecting parts. When in use, the inspector adjusts the position of the baffles on all sides according to the size of the geological radar antenna, puts the geological radar antenna into the box, and fixes it with fixed buckle strips. Then, the cable of the geological radar antenna is passed through the reserved hole for the cable, and connected to the geological radar host, and the number of extension rods is selected according to the height position. Finally, four inspectors hold the support rods and change the angle of the geological radar antenna by adjusting the position to be suitable for detecting concrete linings in all directions, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the entire device. The disadvantage of this device is that it requires four inspectors to operate it by holding the support rod, which may make the assembly and adjustment process complicated and time-consuming. In addition, the portable bracket may be more easily damaged during repeated use and transportation, and manual adjustment of the support rod to change the antenna angle may result in insufficient precision, affecting the accuracy of the test results.

[0009] In summary, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing lining detection radar bracket cannot comprehensively consider factors such as the turning of the tunnel, the flatness of the tunnel floor, the curvature and smoothness of the tunnel wall during use, and adjust the radar in real time, effectively and accurately, so that the radar rotates according to the required dimensions and angles and approaches the tunnel wall to detect the tunnel. In particular, the problem in the prior art that when the lining detection radar bracket and the radar are moving to detect the tunnel, the radar cannot be adjusted as needed to approach the tunnel for detection in combination with the tunnel bends and other special features is solved.

The device not only improves the accuracy of radar positioning, but also greatly improves the efficiency and fit of the detection work, thereby ensuring the reliability of the detection results and the stability of the radar system. In addition, the design of the device takes into account the convenience and safety of operation, and is suitable for various complex tunnel environments.

[0018] To further optimize the technical solution, three laser rangefinders are provided and distributed and fixed on three sides of the radar, which can respectively detect the distance between the radar and the top of the tunnel. By cooperating with the stepper motor, a plane can be determined to achieve fine-tuning of the radar plane.

[0026] To further optimize the technical solution, two first pan-tilt transmission motors are provided, and the two first pan-tilt transmission motors are arranged in parallel and opposite directions on both sides of the shaft fixing cylinder, and the two driven first transmission gears are symmetrical relative to the center point below the fixing plate. In this way, the center of gravity of the entire mechanism is more stable, and the driving rotation effect is better, smoother, and more stable.

[0027] The working mode of the present invention is as follows:

[0028] In the present invention, the rotating pan-tilt head, the plane fine-tuning mechanism, the axial adjustment mechanism, the plane rotating mechanism, and the pan-tilt head control box work in coordination. The pan-tilt head control box receives signals input by intelligent devices such as a laser rangefinder, a camera connected to the pan-tilt head control box for determining the relative position of a radar and a tunnel wall, and staff, and controls the motors in the plane fine-tuning mechanism, the axial adjustment mechanism, and the plane rotating mechanism to work.

[0029] The radar lining detection radar bracket end fine-tuning device can be installed on the roof, lifting mechanism or mechanical arm, move the radar bracket to the approximate detection position, and use the controller on the pan / tilt control box to control the pan / tilt to make multi-dimensional adjustments in left and right, front and back, and plane rotation, so that the radar bracket is closer to the tunnel ground. At the same time, it can also be used in conjunction with smart cameras and road radars that determine the shape and direction of the tunnel.

[0030] When encountering situations such as tunnel turns, or the curves of the tunnel sides or top are inconsistent with the ground road, the radar can be rotated arbitrarily on the plane in time through real-time adjustment of the plane rotation mechanism. Specifically: according to the signals input by the intelligent devices such as the camera connected to the pan-tilt control box that judges the relative position of the radar and the tunnel wall, and the staff, the second pan-tilt transmission motor rotates to drive the bevel gear in the gear box to move, and then drives the second transmission gear and the internal gear to produce relative movement, driving the rotating pan-tilt to achieve plane rotation.

[0031] When the radar needs to be swung along the tunnel axis, the first pan-tilt transmission motor rotates according to the signals input by the staff and other intelligent devices connected to the pan-tilt control box for judging the relative position of the radar and the tunnel wall; when the first pan-tilt transmission motor rotates, the first transmission gear moves relative to the large gear, so that the fixed plate and the radar above the fixed plate rotate along the vertical plane.

[0032] When the device is used to detect the tunnel, the device is connected to the end of the mechanical arm through the four screw holes set on the top of the base, and the whole device is lifted to the approximate position to be detected by the mechanical arm. Then, the controller in the pan-tilt control box is used to make rough adjustments to the left and right and front and back so that the radar is closer to the curved surface of the tunnel. After adjusting the approximate position, the distance from the radar to the top of the tunnel is detected by the laser rangefinders distributed on the three sides of the radar. According to the data fed back by the laser rangefinder, the stepper motor is automatically adjusted to determine a plane through three height points, so that the radar can better fit the curved surface of the tunnel, ensuring that the radar better fits the curved surface of the tunnel, thereby achieving accurate detection and positioning of the tunnel.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include at least:

[0034] 1. A lining detection radar bracket end fine-tuning device, which can be installed on the roof, lifting mechanism or mechanical arm, moves the radar bracket to the approximate detection position, and uses the controller on the pan-tilt control box to control the pan-tilt to perform multi-dimensional adjustment of left and right, front and back and plane rotation, so that the radar bracket is closer to the tunnel ground; and through the three laser rangefinders set on the radar to capture the positions of three points corresponding to the tunnel top surface, and then automatically adjust the stepping motor on the side to realize the rotation of the radar bracket end to a specific number of circles, so as to level the three points and ensure that these points are at the same height as the position detected by the laser rangefinder. The device not only improves the accuracy of radar positioning, but also greatly improves the efficiency and fit of the detection work, thereby ensuring the reliability of the detection results and the stability of the radar system, and overcomes the problem that the existing lining detection radar bracket cannot comprehensively consider the turning of the tunnel, the flatness of the tunnel ground, the curvature and smoothness of the tunnel wall, etc., and adjust the radar in real time, effectively and accurately, so that the radar rotates according to the required dimensions and angles and detects the tunnel close to the tunnel wall. In particular, the problem in the prior art that, when the lining detection radar bracket and the radar move to detect the tunnel, the radar cannot be adjusted as needed to be close to the tunnel for detection in combination with the tunnel curves, etc., is solved.

[0035] 2. The rotating gimbal, plane fine-tuning mechanism, axial adjustment mechanism, plane rotating mechanism and gimbal control box work together. The gimbal control box receives signals from intelligent devices such as the laser rangefinder, the camera connected to the gimbal control box for judging the relative position of the radar and the tunnel wall, and the staff to control the motors in the plane fine-tuning mechanism, axial adjustment mechanism and plane rotating mechanism to work, achieving better results.

[0036] 3. The plane fine-tuning mechanism includes a laser rangefinder, a telescopic adjustment device, an elastic fixing device, and a fixing plate. The elastic fixing device includes a spring, a folding buckle, and an optical axis. The spring is arranged on the optical axis, one end of the optical axis is fixed on the fixing plate, and the other end extends upward. The upper part of the folding buckle is connected to the radar, and the lower part is arranged on the fixing plate, and the spring is clamped from the upper and lower ends to fix the radar on the fixing plate through the elastic force of the spring. When the stepper motor drives the radar to fine-tune the plane angle, the spring is extended or compressed while the folding buckle is extended or compressed, so as to always ensure that the radar is fixed firmly. There are three laser rangefinders, which are distributed and fixed on the three sides of the radar, and can respectively detect the distance between the radar and the top of the tunnel. By cooperating with the stepper motor, a plane can be determined to achieve fine-tuning of the radar plane.

[0037] 4. The ball joint is embedded in the mounting ear and has a certain movable gap with the mounting ear. At the same time, an internal thread that cooperates with the motor shaft of the stepper motor is arranged inside the ball joint. When the stepper motor rotates, the ball joint can drive the mounting ear to move up or down, thereby realizing fine-tuning of the radar plane and allowing corresponding free movement when the radar is offset left or right to adapt to the left and right movement of the radar.

[0051] When the device is used to detect a tunnel, the device is connected to the end of the mechanical arm through four screw holes provided on the top of the base 22, and the entire device is lifted to the approximate position to be detected by the mechanical arm. Then, the controller in the pan / tilt control box 12 is used to perform rough adjustments to the left and right and front and back, so that the radar 1 is closer to the curved surface of the tunnel. After adjusting the approximate position, the distance from the radar 1 to the top of the tunnel is detected by the laser rangefinders 6 distributed on the three sides of the radar 1. According to the data fed back by the laser rangefinder 6, the stepper motor 4 is automatically adjusted to determine a plane through three height points, so that the radar 1 can better fit the curved surface of the tunnel, ensuring that the radar 1 better fits the curved surface of the tunnel, thereby achieving accurate detection and positioning of the tunnel.
