DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following describes two implementation modes of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The first implementation method:

[0031] Figure 1-5 It is shown that a high-stability bracket for a movable ultrasonic detection device includes a mobile platform 1 with mobile wheels, a power mechanism for driving the mobile wheels is installed in the mobile platform 1, an ultrasonic probe and a brake device matching the mobile wheels are installed on the mobile platform 1, the mobile platform 1 is rotatably connected to a support seat 2, and the support seat 2 is rotatably connected to the mobile platform 1 through a damping bearing; a motor can be installed in the mobile platform 1 to assist the rotation of the support seat 2, and a person skilled in the art can select a suitable type of motor for installation;

[0032] The support seat 2 includes a central column 21, and a chuck 22 is installed at both the upper and lower ends of the central column 21. A pair of wire-retracting and releasing devices 23 are installed in the central column 21; the wire-retracting and releasing devices 23 are used to adjust the straightening state of the guide rope 32 and the retraction of the guide rope 32; the wire-retracting and releasing devices 23 are devices in the prior art that are electrically driven to retract and release wires, and are installed by those skilled in the art using appropriate wire-retracting and releasing devices in the prior art;

[0033] It should be noted that the wire-reeling device 23 reels the guide rope 32 only after the detection frame 4 is reset;

[0034] Optionally, the central column 21 and the side ends of the detection frame 4 are both provided with wiring jacks, and an elastic wire is connected between the two wiring jacks; the detection frame 4 is connected to the support seat 2 in real time through the elastic wire, so that the data during long-term monitoring work can be transmitted in time;

[0035] A docking plate 3 is clamped between a pair of chucks 22, and the docking plate 3 includes a main board 31. A pair of guide ropes 32 are connected between the main board 31 and the wire-retracting and -releasing device 23. A clamping column 33 is installed at both upper and lower ends of the main board 31. A pair of clamping grooves matching the main board 31 are provided on the chuck 22, and a locking groove matching the clamping column 33 is provided in the clamping groove away from the docking plate 3; an electric bolt is installed in the locking groove, and a socket matching the electric bolt is provided on the clamping column 33;

[0036] A laser transmitter and a laser receiver are respectively installed in a pair of card slots, and the laser transmitter and the laser receiver are used to calibrate whether the docking plate 3 matches the card slot of another chuck 22;

[0037] A detection frame 4 is clamped on the outer wall of one side of the central column 21. The detection frame 4 includes a main shell 41. A pair of through holes distributed and matched with the guide rope 32 and the clamping column 33 are opened on the main shell 41. A pair of damping wheels 42 respectively matched with the two guide ropes 32 are rotatably connected in the main shell 41. The outer ends of the damping wheels 42 extend into the through holes. A motor for driving the pair of damping wheels 42 to rotate is installed in the main shell 41. The pair of damping wheels 42 are both located between the pair of guide ropes 32. The detection frame 4 moves along the guide ropes 32 by rotating the damping wheels 42. The power output end of the motor is connected to the two damping wheels 42 by a transmission assembly. The technicians in this field use a suitable transmission assembly in the prior art to install them. The transmission assembly is used to drive the pair of damping wheels 42 to rotate synchronously when the motor is working, and the rotation direction thereof matches the forward direction of the detection frame 4. The guide rope 32 segments located in the detection frame 4 are kept in a straight state.

[0038] An electric guide rail is installed at the outer end of the main housing 41, and an ultrasonic sensor 43 is installed at the movable end of the electric guide rail. A control box 44 is installed at the top of the main housing 41, and an integrated circuit board and a battery are installed in the control box 44; the integrated circuit board is used to upload the detection data of the ultrasonic sensor 43 to the control terminal of the support seat 2 after the detection frame 4 is reset, and the battery is used to power the integrated circuit board, the electric guide rail and the motor;

[0039] A docking seat 5 matching the control box 44 is installed on the outer wall of the center column 21, and the docking seat 5 includes a charger body, on which a docking plug is installed, and a docking groove matching the docking plug is opened on the detection frame 4; after the detection frame 4 is reset, the docking groove of the detection frame 4 is docked with the docking plug, and at this time, the docking seat 5 charges the battery in the control box 44;

[0040] A wire rope detector 6 is installed at the side end of the center column 21, and one end of the guide rope 32 located in the main board 31 is connected to a T-bolt 321, which is plugged into the main board 31. A permanent magnet is installed on the top of the T-bolt 321. The wire rope detector 6 is opposite to the T-bolt 321. An electromagnet and a pressure sensor are installed on the wire rope detector 6. The wire rope detector 6 is used to detect whether the guide rope 32 is stretched straight. When the wire rope detector 6 is working, the electromagnet is turned on and attracts the T-bolt 321. If the guide rope 32 is not stretched straight, the T-bolt 321 is attracted and moved forward to fit with the wire rope detector 6. At this time, the pressure sensor detects pressure, and the control terminal determines that the guide rope 32 is not stretched straight, and then controls the wire retracting and releasing device 23 to work, tightening the guide rope 32 to make it stretched straight;

[0041] The tension state of the guide rope is monitored in real time by the rope detector 6. Once the guide rope is found to be loose or broken, the corresponding safety mechanism is immediately activated, such as tightening the guide rope or stopping the detection work, to ensure the safety of the detection process.

[0042] The support seat 2 of this embodiment can be docked with other support seats 2. The docking can be completed by clamping and fixing the docking plate 3 with the chuck 22 of another support seat 2. During the docking, the laser transmitter and the laser receiver are used for docking calibration.

[0043] After docking, the two mobile platforms 1 move to adjust the distance between the pair of support seats 2, so as to adjust the exposed length and position of the guide rope 32. The activity path of the detection frame 4 is determined by adjusting the position of the guide rope 32, so that the ultrasonic sensor 43 installed on the detection frame 4 can perform ultrasonic detection on the set route; when working together, the guide rope 32 is kept in a straight state, and then the mobile platform 1 moves to adjust the detection position of the ultrasonic sensor 43; the ultrasonic sensor 43 can detect rectangular range areas and circular ranges (such as Figure 5 shown);

[0044] This solution can realize the rapid adjustment of the ultrasonic detection path through the docking and coordination of multiple support bases 2, so as to carry out multiple detection work in a large area; it realizes the rapid adjustment and flexible arrangement of the ultrasonic detection path; this device not only has high-efficiency detection capabilities, but also has good scalability. By increasing the number of support bases and the docking method, the detection range can be easily expanded to meet the detection needs of areas of different sizes.

[0045] Second implementation method:

[0046] Figure 5-6 As shown, it also includes a bracket coordination system, which includes a control terminal installed in the mobile platform 1, and the control terminal is connected to a communication module, a control module, a data storage module and a data processing module;

[0047] The control module is provided with an independent working mode and a cooperative working mode. The independent working mode is used to control the ultrasonic probe to perform independent detection work; the cooperative working mode is used to control the docking of multiple support seats 2 to control the reciprocating detection work within the long-distance range of the ultrasonic sensor 43;

[0048] The specific workflow of the collaborative working mode includes: after one control terminal is connected to another control terminal through a communication module, the mobile platform 1 moves to bring the two connected support seats 2 closer together, and the docking plate 3 is inserted into the card slot on the other support seat 2, and the card column 33 is inserted into the locking slot and fixed by the electric latch; then the two support seats 2 stop when they are away from each other to a set distance, at which time the detection frame 4 drives the damping wheel 42 to rotate to achieve movement along the guide rope 32, and the electric guide rail is controlled to work during the movement of the detection frame 4, so that the ultrasonic sensor 43 is lowered to a set height for ultrasonic detection; it should be noted that when the two support seats 2 are docked for coordinated work, the guide rope 32 between the main board 31 and the support seat 2 is kept straight;

[0049] The control module achieves precise fixation and control of the main board 31, the clamping column 33, the detection frame 4 and the ultrasonic sensor 43 by driving the electric latch, the motor, the electric guide rail and other components;

[0050] The communication module is used for remote data transmission and connection of multiple control terminals; it is responsible for the communication between the control terminals corresponding to each support seat 2, ensuring that instructions and data can be transmitted accurately and timely.

[0051] The data processing module is used for processing and analyzing the data collected by the ultrasonic sensor 43 to generate a detection report or perform further data mining.

[0052] The data storage module stores all collected and processed data for subsequent query, analysis and backup. The data storage module works together with the data processing module to ensure the integrity and security of the data.

[0053] A power supply module is also provided in the control terminal, which provides power support for the motor, electric guide rail, ultrasonic sensor 43 and other components in the detection frame 4. The power supply module can be connected to an external power supply, and a power supply battery matching the power supply module is provided in the mobile platform 1; after the detection frame 4 is reset, the power supply module charges the battery in the control box 44 through the docking seat 5.

[0054] In summary, the various modules of the bracket coordination system of this embodiment cooperate with each other to achieve efficient docking of the support base, collaborative work, and real-time data collection and processing, providing strong support for ultrasonic detection work in large areas.

[0055] In view of current practical needs, the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to the scope of protection. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
