DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention discloses a laser measurement device for tunnel deformation, comprising a slide rail 1 longitudinally arranged along one side of the tunnel, a slide seat 2 slidably matched with the slide rail 1, a vertical telescopic rod 3 installed on the slide seat 2, and a telescopic detection device installed at the upper output end of the vertical telescopic rod 3. The tunnel side mentioned here can be the left side of the tunnel or the right side of the tunnel. Being arranged separately on one side can not only facilitate the positioning and adjustment of the slide rail 1, but also reduce site occupation and maintenance. The slide seat 2 can be displaced along the slide rail 1, and the vertical telescopic rod 3 adopts a vertical telescopic cylinder. The vertical telescopic rod 3 is displaced together with the slide seat 2. The vertical telescopic rod 3 can drive the telescopic detection device to move vertically to realize displacement adjustment in the vertical direction, which can be more conducive to the telescopic detection device to detect the deformation of the tunnel at the top.

[0019] Specifically, the telescopic detection device disclosed in the present invention includes a hydraulic cylinder, a proximal support plate 4, a distal support plate 5, and several groups of fork rod assemblies arranged along the transverse direction. The fork rod assembly is formed by a first fork rod 6 and a second fork rod 7 hinged in the middle. The structures of the first fork rod 6 and the second fork rod 7 are exactly the same, the inclination direction of each first fork rod 6 is the same, and the inclination direction of each second fork rod 7 is the same.

[0020] The specific connection method is that the upper end of the upper group of first fork rods 6 is hinged to the upper end of the lower group of second fork rods 7 to form an upper hinge point 8, and the lower end of the upper group of second fork rods 7 is hinged to the lower end of the lower group of first fork rods 6 to form a lower hinge point 9; the proximal support plate 4 is fixed to the output end of the vertical telescopic rod 3, and a proximal slide groove 10 is provided on the proximal support plate 4, and the proximal slide groove 10 is slidably matched with the lower end of the first fork rod 6 of the first group of fork rod components, the hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the proximal support plate 4 and the output end is connected to the lower end of the first fork rod 6 of the first group of fork rod components, and the second fork rod 7 of the first group of fork rod components is hinged to the proximal support plate 4.

[0021] Similarly, a distal slide groove 11 is opened on the distal support plate 5, and the distal slide groove 11 is slidably matched with the lower end of the second fork rod 7 of the last group of fork rod assemblies, and the distal slide groove 11 and the upper end of the first fork rod 6 of the last group of fork rod assemblies are hinged to the distal support plate 5; an upper support rod 12 is installed at the upper hinge point 8, and a laser sensor 13 is installed on the upper side of the upper support rod 12; a lower support rod 14 is installed at the lower hinge point 9, and an elastic support assembly 15 is installed on the lower side of the lower support rod 14.

[0022] The working principle and process of the device of the present invention are as follows: When the entire telescopic detection device needs to be moved longitudinally, the slide 2 is slid along the slide rail 1, and the slide 2 is moved to the position in the tunnel where the deformation needs to be detected and then stopped, and then the telescopic detection device is controlled. Since the laser sensor 13 can scan the deformation of the tunnel within a certain angle range, and the telescopic detection device can be extended and retracted in the transverse direction, multiple groups of laser sensors 13 arranged in the transverse direction can detect various positions in the transverse direction of the tunnel. By controlling the extension length of the hydraulic cylinder, the outward extension length of the telescopic detection device can be controlled, which can not only change the transverse detection position of the laser sensor 13, but also adjust the detection overlap range of two adjacent groups of laser sensors 13, thereby improving the accuracy of tunnel deformation detection.

[0023] In this embodiment, a hollow upper slideway is formed on the inner side of the upper support rod 12, and the upper slideway extends along the axial direction of the upper support rod 12. An upper sleeve 16 is slidably provided on the outer side of the upper support rod 12, and an open groove 17 is provided on the surface of the upper support rod 12. An upper slider 18 is slidably provided in the upper slideway. The upper slider 18 is cylindrical, and the outer wall of the upper slider 18 is slidably matched with the inner side of the upper support rod 12. An upper limit block 19 is fixed on the upper slider 18, and the upper limit block 19 is fixedly connected to the upper sleeve 16 after passing through the open groove 17, and the laser sensor 13 is fixed to the upper sleeve 16. The upper sleeve 16 can be moved along the axial direction, so as to adjust the longitudinal position of the laser sensor 13, meet the needs of longitudinal position detection at different positions, and control the longitudinal position and the lateral position more accurately.

[0024] In this embodiment, a displacement driving device for controlling the axial displacement of the upper slider 18 along the upper support rod 12 is installed on the inner side of the upper support rod 12. The displacement driving device includes a motor and a screw. The motor is fixed on the inner side of the upper support rod 12, and the output end of the motor is connected to the screw. The screw is threadedly matched with the upper slider 18. Under the limiting action of the open groove 17, when the screw rotates, the upper support rod 12 can be driven to move axially. A servo 20 is fixedly connected at the upper hinge point 8, and the output end of the servo 20 is connected to the upper support rod 12.

[0025] From the perspective of comprehensive detection, the deformation of the tunnel may occur in different directions and positions. Detection from only one fixed angle can only obtain data in a specific direction, and deformation in other directions may be missed. For example, the tunnel may have a variety of deformations such as top sinking and side wall concave. By changing the detection angle, the different parts of the tunnel such as the arch, waist, side wall, etc. can be scanned. With the laser sensors 13 at different intervals in various places, the deformation state of the tunnel can be monitored more accurately and comprehensively. By setting the steering gear 20, the rotation angle of the upper support rod 12 can be changed to meet the needs of different detection angles.

[0026] In this embodiment, the elastic support assembly 15 includes a lower sleeve 21, an outer rod 22, an inner rod 23, a spring, a bracket 24 and a universal wheel 25. The outer side of the lower support rod 14 is slidably provided with a lower sleeve 21, the upper end of the outer rod 22 is fixedly connected to the lower sleeve 21, the upper end of the inner rod 23 is slidably provided at the lower end of the outer rod 22, the spring is provided at the inner side of the outer rod 22, the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the outer rod 22 and the inner rod 23, the lower end of the inner rod 23 is fixedly connected to the bracket 24, and the universal wheel 25 is installed on the bracket 24. Under the support of the spring, the universal wheel 25 can roll on the ground surface. When an obstacle is needed, the bracket 24 pops up and compresses the spring. The lower end of the bracket 24 is also provided with a laser sensor 13 for detecting ground deformation. The laser sensor 13 can be popped up together with the bracket 24 to avoid interference by obstacles.

[0027] In this embodiment, similar to the upper support rod 12, a hollow lower slide is formed on the inner side of the lower support rod 14 of the present invention, an open groove 17 is opened on the surface of the lower support rod 14, a lower sliding block is slidably arranged in the lower slide, a lower limit block is fixed on the lower sliding block, the lower limit block passes through the open groove 17 and is fixedly connected to the lower sliding sleeve 21, and a displacement driving device for controlling the axial displacement of the lower sliding block along the lower support rod 14 is installed on the inner side of the lower support rod 14.

[0028] In this embodiment, a groove 26 is provided on the side of the tunnel, and a rack 27 is installed in the groove 26. The rack 27 extends in the longitudinal direction of the tunnel. The lower end of the slide 2 is rotatably connected to a central shaft 28. A gear 29 and a ratchet 30 are coaxially connected to the central shaft 28. The gear 29 meshes with the rack 27. The ratchet 30 cooperates with the pawl 31. The end of the pawl 31 is rotatably installed on a side support seat 32. An elastic support sheet 33 for supporting the pawl 31 is installed on the side support seat 32. By providing the ratchet 30 and the pawl 31, there will be no obstruction when the slide 2 moves forward. When the slide 2 encounters a slope, the slide 2 is prevented from sliding in the opposite direction. This not only facilitates the operator to control, but also avoids the problem of low detection efficiency caused by repeated detection.

[0029] In this embodiment, a support 34 for supporting the rack 27 is installed in the groove 26, and a notch 35 for the gear 29 to pass through is opened on the support 34 to avoid interference with the gear 29 after movement.

[0030] In this embodiment, a cover plate 36 is laid at the opening of the groove 26, and the cover plate 36 is evenly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the tunnel. By setting the cover plate 36, when the device of the present invention is not needed, impurities can be prevented from entering the groove 26, thereby facilitating maintenance of the slide rail 1 and the rack 27.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
