[0002] Steel structure bridges are exposed to the acidic environment of natural environment and automobile exhaust for a long time, and are subject to severe environmental corrosion. In particular, the corrosion behavior of key components will seriously affect the mechanical structural stability and safety of the bridge, and have a significant impact on the healthy service of the bridge. The monitoring of the bridge can be done on the bridge deck platform, but the current equipment is difficult to achieve for the monitoring of the steel structure support components at the bottom of the bridge. At present, there are generally two ways to monitor the corrosion of bridge steel structures: one is the traditional manual inspection, and the other is to directly use sensors to measure the corrosion results of the bridge steel structure. However, the steel structure support components of the bridge are usually not a plane but an inclined plane, and because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the angle of ultraviolet radiation is different. For the inclined surface of the steel structure support components, the solar radiation received in different time periods is different.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be construed as limiting the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0017] Example: Figure 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a corrosion monitoring and natural environment testing device for bridge steel structures, including a test frame body, a connecting component connected to the bridge is arranged at the bottom of the test frame body, the top of the test frame is an inclined surface, and a solar panel and a sample rack for test samples are arranged on the inclined surface. The connecting component has a rotation and telescopic function, and the sample rack is connected to the test sample 5 through a sample rotation mechanism.

[0018] Specifically: the test frame body 1 is set to a triangle or a trapezoid to ensure that its top surface 11 is an inclined surface, and the test frame body is manufactured by welding or screwing aluminum profiles. The bottom surface of the test frame body has a plurality of vertically arranged aluminum profiles, and the bottom of the vertically arranged aluminum profiles is connected to the bridge through a connecting component. The connecting component 2 in this embodiment includes a base 21, and a connecting plate 22 is provided at the bottom of the base. The connecting plate is L-shaped, one side is used to fix with the base, and the other side is used to be screwed with the bridge. A hydraulic support rod 23 is provided on the top of the base, and a first connecting member 24 is connected to the top of the hydraulic support rod, and also includes a second connecting member 25 hinged to the first connecting member, and a profile mounting groove 26 is provided on the top surface of the second connecting member, and the aluminum profile used to manufacture the test frame body is inserted into the profile mounting groove on the top surface of the second connecting member. The connecting part A27 of the first connecting member is a semicircular boss, and the connecting part B28 of the second connecting member is a transverse through groove corresponding to the connecting part A. The two side walls of the transverse through groove are semicircular. The connecting part A is located in the connecting part B and the connecting part A and the two side walls of the connecting part B are movably hinged by screws to ensure that the connecting part B can rotate around the connecting part A with the connection point as the center of the circle.

[0019] The second connecting member is connected to the aluminum profile, and the first connecting member is connected through a hydraulic rod, a base and a bridge body. Then, the rotation of the second connecting member relative to the first connecting member can realize the rotation of the entire test frame body, and the lifting and lowering of the hydraulic rod can realize the lifting and lowering of the entire test frame body. Through the adjustment of lifting and angle, the top surface slope of the test frame body can be adjusted to the same angle as any irregular slope of the steel structure support member. Therefore, the sample installed on the top surface slope of the test frame body can be at the same slope as the steel structure support member.

[0020] In addition, the sample in this embodiment is installed on the top surface slope of the test frame body through the rotating mechanism 3. First, the top surface slope of the test frame body is composed of the aluminum profile, including a plurality of aluminum profile trusses distributed horizontally. The aluminum profile trusses are installed with a rotating mechanism, and the sample frame is connected through the rotating mechanism, and finally the test sample is installed on the sample frame.

[0021] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a bottom bracket 31 and a top bracket 32. The bottom bracket is U-shaped, the top bracket is inverted U-shaped, and the top bracket is buckled outside the bottom bracket. That is to say, the two side wings (or side panels) of the top bracket are wrapped outside the two side wings (or side panels) of the bottom bracket, and the two side wings of the bottom bracket and the two side wings of the top bracket are movably connected by connecting nails 33, so that the top bracket can rotate relative to the bottom bracket around the position of the connecting nails. The bottom bracket can be fixed to the aluminum profile truss on the top inclined surface of the test frame body by screws or welding. The sample rack 4 is a rectangular frame structure, and a reinforcing rod 41 is arranged along the diagonal of the rectangular frame structure, and a connecting block 42 is arranged at the middle intersection of the two reinforcing rods. A mounting hole is arranged on the top surface of the top bracket, and the connecting block of the sample rack is connected to the mounting hole on the top surface of the top bracket. In addition, mounting holes 43 are provided along the long sides and / or short sides of the rectangular frame structure of the sample rack, and the sample pieces are connected to the mounting holes of the sample rack by screw connection.

[0022] The bottom bracket is fixedly connected to the test frame body, and the top bracket is fixedly connected to the sample through the sample frame. The bottom bracket and the top bracket are rotatably connected around the center of the circle, so the angle of the sample can be adjusted by controlling the top bracket to rotate around the bottom bracket by means of a motor, hydraulic pressure, manual operation, etc. After the adjustment is completed, the screws are tightened to fix it. In this way, the angle of the sample can be adjusted according to the angle of solar radiation.

[0023] In addition, as another implementation in this embodiment, the lower part of the two side wings of the bottom bracket is also provided with limit pins 34, and the two side wings of the top bracket are provided with arc grooves 35, and the limit pins are located in the arc grooves. Marking lines 36 at the positions of 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, and 180° are provided on the side wing walls adjacent to the inner circle of the arc groove. In this way, the rotation angle of the top bracket can be accurately adjusted, and then the bevel angle of the sample can be adjusted.

[0024] As another implementation of this embodiment, the front and rear edges of both side wings of the top bracket are provided with outwardly extending connection rings 36. In this way, adjacent rotating mechanisms can be connected through the connection rings, preferably by screws and nuts. In this way, multiple rotating mechanisms connected together can be driven to rotate simultaneously, and multiple samples connected to the rotating mechanisms can then be rotated simultaneously to the same angle, thereby improving efficiency.

[0025] In addition, in this embodiment, the test frame body includes a bottom frame, a rear frame and a top frame, the top frame is an inclined surface, an electrical box 6 is installed at the rear frame, and a support rod 12 extending upward is provided on one side of the rear frame, and an integrated meteorological shutter box is provided on the top of the support rod.

[0026] The rotatable and retractable connection mechanism of this embodiment connects the test frame body to the bridge, and the top surface of the test frame body is set as an inclined surface. By retracting and rotating the test frame body, the angle of its top surface is adjusted to make it consistent with the inclination angle of the bridge steel structure, so as to achieve corrosion simulation of the bridge steel structure support. The test sample of this embodiment is connected to the top surface (inclined surface) of the sample frame through a rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism can be rotated under the action of a motor and has multiple angles of adjustment. In this way, the angle of the test sample can be adaptively adjusted according to the solar radiation angle to ensure that the solar radiation received by the test sample is consistent with the bridge steel structure. Basic equipment for regular morphological observation and corrosion weight loss analysis of the hanging piece. Supporting ACM steel corrosion data high-throughput collection, analysis, and mining technology, it has promotion potential and can serve the fields of automobiles, construction, etc. that use a large amount of steel.

[0027] Finally, an actual use example is provided in this embodiment: Installation site: plane of Chongqing Caiyuanba Yangtze River Bridge. Installation area: 2.75m×0.84m. Working temperature: -20℃~80℃. Power supply voltage: solar power supply, 24V DC output. Power supply power: maximum power of detection tooling is 20W, and charging power of solar panel is 100W.

Electrical interface: standard communication protocol (Modbus) and communication interface (Ethernet interface) are provided to communicate with the host computer. The solar panel 4 is also installed on the top inclined surface of the test frame body, located at the uppermost part of the top inclined surface.

[0028] The test frame body is exposed outdoors and is welded and constructed using European standard 3030 industrial aluminum profiles. The top slope of the test frame body is used to install solar panels, and the middle and lower areas are all used to install samples, ensuring that at least 48 bare metal samples and 48 coated samples can be installed. The electrical box is used to install the control system and power supply; the integrated meteorological shutter box is used to collect environmental factors.

[0029] Since the test frame body is placed at a certain inclination angle, in order to make the test frame body be placed stably at the predetermined experimental location, it is planned to measure the inclination angle on site and reduce the length of the aluminum profile at the bottom of the test frame body to achieve the purpose of stably placing the test frame.
