[0002] As an important infrastructure for transportation, bridges play a key role in ensuring the safe transportation of people and goods. However, due to a variety of factors, such as design defects, construction quality problems, material aging, natural disasters, and overloading, bridges may suffer structural damage or even collapse. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of bridges, timely bridge collapse detection is very necessary.

[0003] The existing bridge anomaly detection methods include sensor technology, non-destructive testing technology (detection by ultrasonic, radar, magnetic powder and penetration), load test technology, numerical simulation technology and risk assessment technology. Among them, sensor technology can perform real-time monitoring through preset sensors, but the current sensor technology only detects through simple threshold judgment, which is often lagging and requires particularly serious situations to detect and warn. Other technologies basically require preliminary experimental analysis, and the real-time performance is not high enough. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve at least one of the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a bridge anomaly detection method and device combining a displacement sensor and a pressure sensor.

If the quantity Y is greater than the second threshold, it is determined that there is a pressure abnormality; If at least one of the displacement anomaly and the pressure anomaly exists, it is determined that a fracture anomaly exists at this time.

[0008] Furthermore, the method further comprises: When abnormal displacement is detected, the first threshold and the second threshold are corrected by preset coefficients, that is, the first threshold is updated to α times the original first threshold, and the second threshold is updated to α times the original second threshold, where the value range of α is (0, 1).

[0009] Furthermore, specifically, the curve fitting algorithm is a curve fitting algorithm based on the least squares method.

[0010] Furthermore, specifically, an alarm reminder is given to relevant management personnel in the form of a text message through a preset SIM card.

[0016] Example 1, reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The present invention proposes a bridge anomaly detection method combining a displacement sensor and a pressure sensor, comprising the following steps: Step 110, taking two adjacent bridge piers and the bridge deck section therebetween as a detection unit, and setting a displacement sensor and a pressure sensor between two pairs of bridge piers and the bridge deck in each detection unit; Step 120: Preset a detection cycle, perform equal-interval sampling on any detection unit in the detection cycle to obtain a plurality of sampling data, wherein the sampling data includes two sets of sensor data between two pairs of bridge piers and the bridge deck, and each set of sensor data includes displacement sensor data and pressure sensor data; Step 130, performing abnormality detection on the bridge in combination with the sampling data to determine whether there is an abnormal fracture situation; Step 140: When an abnormal fracture occurs, an alarm is given to the relevant management personnel, and a preset display device is controlled to display preset content to warn nearby vehicles.

[0017] In this embodiment 1, the bridge deck is divided into multiple detection units by using the bridge piers as sections, and a displacement sensor and a pressure sensor are set between the two pairs of bridge piers and the bridge deck in each detection unit. The displacement sensor and pressure sensor data sampled within a period T are combined to determine whether there is a fracture abnormality, and then an alarm is issued. The bridge abnormality detection method and device proposed in the present invention have high real-time data, accurate detection effect, and can periodically obtain fracture abnormality monitoring conditions, assisting administrators to promptly handle bridge decks with fracture abnormalities.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, specifically, the displacement sensor is constructed by an infrared sensor, wherein the infrared transmitter is arranged at the lower end of the bridge deck, and the reflecting surface is correspondingly arranged at the upper end of the bridge pier; the pressure sensor is constructed based on a Hall proximity sensor, wherein the Hall sensor is arranged at the lower end of the bridge deck, and the magnetic pole is correspondingly arranged at the upper end of the bridge pier.

[0019] In this preferred embodiment, the sensors are arranged in the above manner, which can meet the requirements of the solution proposed by the present invention.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, specifically, the abnormality detection of the bridge is performed in combination with the sampling data to determine whether there is an abnormal fracture, including: For any detection unit, assuming that the preset detection period is T and the number of sampled data is N; First, the displacement sensor triggering times Q in the sampling data within T are obtained, where the displacement sensor triggering means that the reflective surface does not receive the signal of the infrared transmitter; Determine whether the triggering number Q is greater than the number threshold, and if so, determine that the displacement is abnormal; Then, N first pressure sensor data of the detection unit at the location in the sampling data within T are obtained, and then N second pressure sensor data of another detection unit at the same bridge deck as the detection unit at the location within T are obtained, and fusion data of the N first pressure sensor data and the N second pressure sensor data are calculated by taking an average value at the corresponding time, that is, N fused pressure sensor data are obtained; A plane coordinate system is constructed with the sampling time as the horizontal coordinate, the fused pressure sensor data as the vertical coordinate, and (0, 0) as the coordinate origin. At this time, there are N discrete points in the plane coordinate system whose horizontal coordinates are in the range of (T0, T0+T), and T0 is the starting time of the period T; Performing curve fitting on the N discrete points to obtain a first curve; The first curve is translated to the next period, i.e., the horizontal coordinate is within the range of (T0+T, T0+2T) to obtain the second curve, and the second curve is used to perform abnormal prediction on the N fused pressure sensor data of the next period; The abnormal prediction method is: The minimum distances between the discrete points formed by the N fused pressure sensor data within the range of (T0+T, T0+2T) and the second curve are calculated respectively to obtain N corresponding minimum distances, and the number Y of discrete points whose N corresponding minimum distances exceed the first threshold is counted. If the quantity Y is greater than the second threshold, it is determined that there is a pressure abnormality; If at least one of the displacement anomaly and the pressure anomaly exists, it is determined that a fracture anomaly exists at this time.

[0021] In this preferred embodiment, considering that when the bridge deck breaks, the infrared sensor will be unable to receive the signal from the transmitting end due to the change in the relative position between the bridge deck and the bridge pier, but considering that there may be interference, a number threshold is set for judgment. As for the pressure sensor reading, considering that the pressure sensor reading should tend to a steady state in adjacent cycles, the above method is used to make an abnormal judgment.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises: When abnormal displacement is detected, the first threshold and the second threshold are corrected by preset coefficients, that is, the first threshold is updated to α times the original first threshold, and the second threshold is updated to α times the original second threshold, where the value range of α is (0, 1).

[0023] In this preferred embodiment, considering that when there is a displacement anomaly, there is a high probability that a pressure anomaly will also occur, the detection condition of the pressure anomaly is sensitized, that is, the relevant threshold is reduced by the coefficient α to improve the detection accuracy.

[0024] As a preferred implementation manner of the present invention, specifically, the curve fitting algorithm is a curve fitting algorithm based on the least squares method.

[0025] As a preferred implementation mode of the present invention, specifically, an alarm reminder is given to relevant management personnel in the form of a text message through a preset SIM card.
