[0002] With the increasing awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection and the development of the construction industry, prefabricated buildings are becoming more and more popular in the market. Prefabricated concrete buildings refer to concrete structure buildings that are mainly designed and constructed through on-site assembly using factory-produced prefabricated reinforced concrete components.
[0003] In the prior art, prefabricated concrete exterior walls are widely used in the construction of prefabricated concrete buildings. However, due to the poor integration between prefabricated concrete exterior walls and other prefabricated parts, after the prefabricated concrete exterior walls are built, workers are usually required to carefully observe whether there is leakage in the prefabricated concrete exterior walls. At the same time, since the connection points and joints between components are prone to penetration problems, there are hidden dangers to the quality of the building and the use of safety belts. Therefore, penetration detection and treatment have become an important link to ensure the quality and effect of prefabricated buildings.

The structure still needs to know the position of the detection seam in advance, and then configure the sensor in a targeted manner. There are problems such as complex operation, great construction difficulty and high cost. In order to simplify the construction steps, improve construction efficiency and reduce construction costs, this embodiment provides a prefabricated house building anti-leakage detection device.

The spring telescopic rod 7 includes a sleeve 71, a cover body 73, a spring 75, a telescopic rod 72, a baffle 74, an end plate 76 and a detection plate 77. The telescopic rod 72 is provided with a baffle 74, the bottom of which is fixed on the sealing cover 6, the sleeve is fixed on the shell 1, the baffle 74 is adapted to be mounted in the sleeve 71, the cover body 73 closes the end of the sleeve, and a spring 75 is arranged between the baffle 74 and the cover body 73, the detection plate 77 is fixed on the shell 1, and the end is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod. The detection plate 77 corresponds to the end plate 76, and a pressure touch switch is arranged between the two.

In the implementation, the moving wheel 2 moves a distance D1 after one rotation, and the width of the sealing cover is D2. In order to improve efficiency, D1 is set to be no greater than D2, and preferably the two are set to be equal, so that the detection gap can be used as the detection object and multiple continuous measurements can be performed.
