Description

A method for laying out sensing optical cables Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sensing optical cable technology, and in particular relates to a method for surface laying of sensing optical cables. Background Technology

[0002] To monitor areas such as railways, highways, and subways, sensing optical cables are now being deployed in areas such as tunnels and bridge openings for real-time monitoring of vibration, temperature, and other factors. The existing installation of sensing optical cables uses a combination of Z-shaped brackets and expansion bolts for anchoring. Holes are pre-drilled in the installation surface, and the top edge of the Z-shaped bracket is installed on the installation surface using expansion bolts. The optical cable is then secured to the bottom edge of the Z-shaped bracket. The Z-shaped bracket not only provides a fastening function but also ensures that the distance between the optical cable and the installation surface is 10cm.

[0003] However, due to the excessively long installation length and the consistent spacing between Z-shaped brackets, a large number of anchoring points are required. If manual anchoring is used, it is excessively time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting the laying efficiency and effect. Therefore, designing a laying device / system and laying method that assists in manual operation is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a surface laying method for sensing optical cables. The drilling mechanism is designed to automatically drill holes on the mounting surface. The bracket auxiliary frame is designed to provide highly stable positioning of the Z-shaped bracket, and the hydraulic hammer can assist manual hammering of the expansion bolts. The conductor frame is designed to restrict the position of the optical cable. During the entire anchoring process, workers only need to use hammer and hook tools, which saves time and effort, improves laying efficiency, and ensures laying safety.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention relates to a method for laying a sensing optical cable on its surface, including a laying vehicle;

[0007] The top of the laying vehicle is fixed with a roll unwinding frame and a raised chamber. The top of the raised chamber is connected to a sliding table via a ground rail. The top of the sliding table is linearly equipped with a ranging mechanism, a drilling mechanism, a support auxiliary frame, and a wire guide frame.

[0008] The drilling mechanism includes a first lifting cylinder, a motor is fixed to the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder, and a drill bit is connected to the output end of the motor;

[0009] The support auxiliary frame includes a hydraulic hammer and a second lifting cylinder. The telescopic end of the second lifting cylinder is fixed with an L-shaped base plate. The L-shaped base plate is provided with a plate-type electromagnet. Both sides of the L-shaped base plate are provided with side edges.

[0010] The conductor frame is a C-shaped frame, and a cable clamping wheel assembly is fixed to the bottom surface of the top edge of the conductor frame. A third lifting cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the conductor frame.

[0011] The method for laying the optical cable includes the following steps:

[0012] SS01 drives the paving vehicle to the anchoring position, uses a distance measuring mechanism to detect the distance between the vehicle and the installation surface, and determines the extension and retraction height of the first lifting cylinder, the second lifting cylinder, and the hydraulic hammer.

[0013] SS02 controls the slide to move so that the drill bit is aligned with the detection point of the ranging mechanism. The drill bit and the first lifting cylinder work together to open the hole. After the hole is opened, the motor stops and the first lifting cylinder is reset.

[0014] SS03 uses an electromagnet to attach the Z-shaped bracket to the L-shaped base plate, at which point the top edge of the Z-shaped bracket is directly above the hydraulic hammer.

[0015] SS04 controls the slide to move so that the top edge of the Z-shaped bracket is aligned with the opening. The second lifting cylinder lifts the Z-shaped bracket to fit against the mounting surface. The worker pre-embeds the end of the expansion bolt into the opening, uses a hammer-attaching tool to pad the nut end of the expansion bolt, and uses a hydraulic hammer to hammer the expansion bolt into the opening by striking the hammer-attaching tool. The hydraulic hammer is then stopped. The nut of the expansion bolt is tightened with a wrench. The Z-shaped bracket is then secured. The second lifting cylinder is then reset.

[0016] The SS05 controls the slide to move the cable tray over the Z-shaped support, and the worker uses a hook tool to clamp the optical cable onto the Z-shaped support.

[0017] SS06 will install the next anchor point again according to the method of SS01-SS06, and control the slide and the third lifting cylinder to reset during the process of traveling to the next anchor point.

[0018] Furthermore, the paving vehicle is a flatbed truck with a flatbed. The unwinding frame and the raised chamber are fixed on the top of the flatbed, and the unwinding frame is close to the cab of the paving vehicle.

[0019] Furthermore, the unwinding frame is equipped with an optical cable roll, the raised chamber is equipped with a tension buffer frame and a reversing wheel assembly, and a transverse cable guide mechanism is provided between the tension buffer frame and the unwinding frame. The optical cable on the optical cable roll passes through the transverse cable guide mechanism, the tension buffer frame and the reversing wheel assembly in sequence and extends to the cable clamping wheel assembly.

[0020] Furthermore, the top of the raised chamber and the sliding platform are both provided with clearance openings for the optical cable.

[0021] Furthermore, a worker's platform is provided on one side of the elevated room, and a fence is provided at the edge of the worker's platform.

[0022] Furthermore, the fence is equipped with double doors, and two storage bins are movably connected to the worker platform. The Z-shaped bracket and expansion bolts are respectively installed in the two storage bins.

[0023] Furthermore, the hammer-receiving tool includes a column body, with a straight handle or an L-shaped handle connected to the circumferential side of the column body, a striking end at the bottom of the column body, and a positioning port at the top of the column body that mates with an expansion bolt.

[0024] Furthermore, the ranging mechanism is a ranging sensor, with the detection end of the ranging sensor facing upwards.

[0025] Furthermore, the elevated chamber is equipped with a pump station system and a control device. The control device includes a processor and several control units. The ranging mechanism, slide, first lifting cylinder and motor are all electrically connected to the processor.

[0026] Furthermore, the slide is equipped with several switches, which are respectively connected to the electromagnet, the second lifting cylinder, the hydraulic hammer and the third lifting cylinder.

[0027] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. This invention enables automated drilling on the installation surface through the design of the drilling mechanism, and enables highly stable positioning of the Z-shaped bracket through the design of the support auxiliary frame. The hydraulic hammer can assist manual hammering of the expansion bolts, and the conductor frame design can restrict the position of the optical cable. Workers only need to use hook tools to quickly connect the optical cable to the Z-shaped bracket. The entire anchoring process only requires the participation of workers in receiving the hammer and hook tools. Moreover, it is far from the installation point, saving time and effort, improving laying efficiency, and ensuring laying safety.

[0029] 2. This invention, through the design of the distance measuring mechanism, can measure the distance between the device and the mounting surface before installation. With the help of the sliding table, it can ensure that the measuring point, the opening point, and the Z-shaped bracket installation point are a single point, thereby improving the working accuracy of the opening, Z-shaped bracket positioning, expansion bolt hammering, and guide frame guide points. This improves the quality and accuracy of anchoring work, enhances the anchoring effect and processing stability, and is also suitable for use on uneven mounting surfaces, thus expanding its application range.

[0030] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
