[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of beam yard detection, and particularly relates to a patrol robot for beam yard rebound detection and a detection method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rebound hammer detection of concrete strength is the most widely used nondestructive testing method in the current concrete structure field detection in China, and has the advantages of wide adaptability, no damage to the concrete member, etc. According to the specification requirements: the interval between adjacent two measuring areas should not be greater than 2m, the area of the measuring area should not be greater than 0.04 square meters, 16 rebound values are read in each measuring area, and the measuring points are uniformly distributed in the measuring area.

[0003] Generally, 10 measuring areas of rebound are needed for each concrete member during detection, so 10 measuring areas of rebound are needed for the rebound method to detect the compressive strength of concrete. In the prior art, a marker pen, a ruler or a template is usually used to draw a grid on the concrete measuring surface to mark the measuring area. Since a large number of measuring areas are drawn, it not only takes a long time, but also has a large deviation in drawing different measuring areas, and there is a safety hazard in drawing the measuring area at a high place.

[0004] In addition, the rebound hammer is usually directly held by the constructor in the grid of each measuring area to obtain the rebound value. Since a large number of measuring areas are drawn, the measuring area rebound operation at a high place also needs to use a ladder and other tools, which has a hidden danger.

[0075] Example 4

[0076] Embodiment 4 of the present invention provides a detection method for rebound testing in beam yards, comprising the following steps:

[0077] In concrete rebound measurement, the stamp distance sensor 35 is used to obtain the distance between the stamp fixture and the beam surface and transmit it back to the control module of the robot 2. The rebound hammer distance sensor 45 is used to obtain the distance between the rebound hammer 43 and the wall during testing and transmit it back to the control module of the robot 2. The monitoring camera 46 is used to obtain the operation image of the stylus 53 on the button panel of the rebound hammer fixture and transmit it back to the control module of the robot 2.

[0078] First, before changing the tooling connected to the quick-change main plate 9 at the robot arm 2, the following steps are required: the auxiliary plate position detection sensor 61 at the quick-change main plate detects whether there is a quick-change auxiliary plate 10 that has been gripped on the robot arm 2; if there is a quick-change auxiliary plate 10 that has been gripped, the robot arm 2 controls the tooling corresponding to the quick-change auxiliary plate 10 to reset and separate the quick-change auxiliary plate 10 from the quick-change main plate 9.

[0079] The robotic arm 2 moves to the placement position of the stylus fixture 5 and controls the quick-change main plate 9 to connect to the quick-change auxiliary plate 10 of the stylus fixture 5, thus realizing the connection between the two.

[0080] The robotic arm 2 controls the stylus 53 to move above the button panel of the rebound spring fixture 4. Based on the built-in movement path of the robotic arm 2 and the cooperation of the monitoring camera 46, the rebound spring 43 is powered on and set. When the robotic arm's touch stroke exceeds the specified stroke, the stylus stroke sensor is activated, and the robotic arm immediately stops pressing down to protect the screen and buttons.

[0081] The robotic arm 2 moves to the placement position of the stylus fixture 5 and controls the quick-change main plate 9 to disconnect the quick-change secondary plate 10, so as to return the stylus fixture 5 to its original position.

[0082] Next, steps S11-S16 are executed. S11: The robot arm 2 moves to the placement position of the stamp fixture 3 in the rebound hammer test area and controls the quick change main plate 9 to connect with the quick change auxiliary plate 10 of the stamp fixture 3 in the rebound hammer test area.

[0083] S12: The robotic arm 2 controls the rebound hammer test area stamp fixture 3 to move to the concrete rebound measurement area and stamp the test area pattern at the target position. During the stamping process, the robotic arm's control module controls the stamping angle of the test area stamp through the distance measurement values ​​of each stamp distance sensor, making it parallel to the surface to be measured. At the same time, the distance measurement value of the stamp distance sensor can also control the pressure applied by the robotic arm to the test area stamp. When the robotic arm controls the test area stamp to approach the surface to be stamped, the distance measurement value gradually decreases. When the test area stamp moves close to the surface to be stamped, the stamp buffer mechanism begins to be compressed, and the distance measurement value continues to decrease. When the distance measurement value is less than the threshold, it means that the test area stamp has made tight contact with the surface to be stamped and reached the required pressure value. Then the robotic arm stops moving forward and holds for 1~2 seconds.

[0084] S13: After the pattern of the test area is stamped, the robot arm 2 moves to the position of the rebound hammer test area stamp fixture 3 and disconnects the connection between the quick change main plate 9 and the quick change auxiliary plate 10 to realize the return of the rebound hammer test area stamp fixture 3 to its original position.

[0085] S14: The robotic arm 2 moves to the placement position of the rebound spring fixture 4 and controls the quick-change master plate 9 to connect to the rebound spring fixture 4;

[0086] S15: The robot arm 2 controls the rebound hammer fixture 4 to move to the concrete rebound measurement area with the test area pattern covered, and sequentially performs rebound measurement on the concrete in each grid of the above area; the control module of the robot arm controls the pressure value applied by the rebound hammer to the surface to be measured by the distance value of the rebound hammer distance sensor. Specifically, when the distance value is less than the set threshold, the robot arm stops moving forward.

[0087] S16: The rebound measurement of the above area is completed. The robot arm 2 moves to the placement position of the rebound hammer fixture 4 and puts the rebound hammer fixture 4 back into place. Then, repeat steps S11-S16 to repeat the covering test area pattern and rebound measurement.

[0088] The rebound hammer's measurement data is stored on the rebound hammer itself and can be viewed later. Alternatively, the rebound hammer's monitoring footage can be viewed in real-time via a monitoring camera in the background.

[0089] The connection method between the fast-swap master disk 9 and the fast-swap slave disk 10 is as follows:

[0090] The system determines whether it receives a signal from the main plate cylinder retraction detection sensor 63. If so, it controls the robot arm 2 to move to the installation position of the tooling for the next inspection. It also determines whether it receives a signal from the auxiliary plate positioning detection sensor 61. If so, it controls the cylinder 92 on the quick-change main plate 9 to extend, causing the locking steel ball 94 to move into the second slot of the quick-change auxiliary plate 10 on the tooling. Finally, it determines whether it receives a signal from the main plate cylinder extension positioning detection sensor 62. If so, it determines that the connection between the quick-change main plate 9 and the quick-change auxiliary plate 10 is complete.

[0091] The specific steps are as follows: The system issues a command, and at the same time, the auxiliary plate position detection sensor on the quick-change main plate does not register a response, indicating that no fixture is in place on the robotic arm. Then, the robotic arm moves to above the stylus fixture, the quick-change main plate solenoid valve activates, the quick-change main plate cylinder retracts, and the locking steel ball retracts. The robotic arm continues to move to above the quick-change auxiliary plate of the touchpad fixture. The robotic arm slows down and approaches slowly until the auxiliary plate position sensor on the quick-change main plate activates, indicating that the quick-change main and auxiliary plates have been engaged. Then, the quick-change main plate solenoid valve resets, the quick-change main plate cylinder rises forward, and the locking steel ball extends, locking the quick-change main and auxiliary plates securely.

[0092] The method for separating the quick-swap main plate 9 and the quick-swap secondary plate 10 is as follows:

[0093] Determine if the tooling to be disconnected is aligned with the installation position. If so, the solenoid valve of the quick-change main plate is activated, controlling the cylinder on the quick-change main plate to retract. Determine if a signal is received from the main plate cylinder retraction detection sensor 63. If so, control the robot arm to drive the quick-change main plate 9 to reset and move away from the quick-change auxiliary plate 10.

[0094] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
