Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of construction engineering monitoring, and in particular to a semicircular wearable vibrating string sensor fixing device and method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of modern construction engineering technology, steel bars, as important load-bearing materials in building structures, have become an important means of ensuring the safety of building structures. Vibrating wire sensors are widely used in monitoring parameters such as steel bar strain and temperature due to their high precision, strong stability, and fast response time. However, the existing methods for fixing vibrating wire sensors on steel bars still have some problems that cannot be ignored.

[0003] First, traditional fixing methods usually fail to provide sufficient firmness when installing vibrating wire sensors on steel bars. Weak sensor fixation may lead to unstable installation, thus affecting the accuracy of monitoring data. Unstable contact between the sensor and the steel bar may cause the sensor to deviate or fall off frequently, affecting data continuity and reliability. Second, some fixing methods may have an adverse effect on the performance of the steel bar itself. Since the steel bar surface needs to be polished or processed during the installation process, it may cause damage or stress concentration on the steel bar surface, affecting its bearing capacity and long-term service life. In addition, the existing fixing methods have poor adaptability to the environment, especially in complex environments such as high temperature, low temperature or humidity, the fixing effect is poor, and it is easy to fall off or corrode. Construction sites often face changing environmental conditions, which puts higher requirements on the long-term monitoring of steel bars. In addition, it is difficult for existing fixing methods to achieve a good fit with the shape of the steel bar. Steel bars usually have different diameters, shapes and surface textures. Traditional fixing methods are difficult to adapt to the differences in the surfaces and shapes of various steel bars, resulting in uneven sensor installation and increasing the risk of data errors. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a semicircular wearable vibrating wire sensor fixing device and method to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a semicircular wearable vibrating wire sensor fixing device, comprising:

[0016] Preferably, the adjusting device is connected to a clamping belt arranged on the outside of the semicircular main body, and the adjusting device includes a screw adjusting mechanism or a ratchet adjusting mechanism.

[0017] A method for fixing a semicircular wearable vibrating string sensor, using the semicircular wearable vibrating string sensor fixing device, the method comprising:

[0018] An anti-slip pattern is provided on the inner surface of the semicircular body to enhance the friction between the semicircular body and the steel bar surface;

The vibrating string sensor ensures the stability of the sensor through the close combination of the card slot and the elastic buffer layer, avoids the monitoring data error and sensor falling off caused by unstable installation, and completes the installation without damaging the steel bar surface or changing the stress distribution of the steel bar through a non-destructive fixing method, avoiding the stress concentration, surface damage or steel bar performance degradation problems that may occur in traditional methods. The design of the semi-circular body combines the anti-slip texture and the elastic buffer layer to enhance the friction between the fixing device and the steel bar surface, and can effectively resist the use requirements in complex environments such as high temperature, low temperature, and humidity, avoiding the situation of fixing falling off or corrosion. Through the setting of the adjustment device, the opening size of the fixing device can be adjusted according to the different specifications and shapes of the steel bar to ensure that the fixing device can fit the steel bar tightly.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, a semicircular wearable vibrating string sensor fixing device mainly includes a semicircular main body invention 1 invention, an anti-skid pattern invention 2 invention, a card slot invention 3 invention and an elastic buffer layer invention 4 invention. Among them, the anti-skid pattern invention 2 invention is arranged on the inner surface of the semicircular main body invention 1 invention, the card slot invention 3 invention is arranged on the inner middle part of the semicircular main body invention 1 invention, and the inner wall of the card slot invention 3 invention is provided with an elastic buffer layer invention 4 invention to fix the vibrating string sensor. The working principle of the device is to increase the friction between the inner surface of the semicircular main body invention 1 invention and the surface of the steel bar by using the anti-skid pattern invention 2 invention, thereby improving the stability. After the vibrating string sensor is inserted into the card slot invention 3 invention, the buffering effect of the elastic buffer layer invention 4 invention reduces the impact and vibration of the sensor during use, ensuring that the vibrating string sensor is firmly fixed. By arranging the anti-skid pattern invention 2 invention on the inner surface of the semicircular main body invention 1 invention, the vibrating string sensor can be effectively prevented from slipping during use. At the same time, the elastic buffer layer invention 4 invention can effectively protect the sensor and extend its service life. This design improves the stability and reliability of the sensor fixing device and has good practicality.

[0031] The card slot invention 3 and the elastic buffer layer invention 4 of the present invention can be designed according to different application scenarios. For example, card slot invention 3 of different shapes can be used to adapt to vibrating string sensors of different specifications, or the elastic buffer layer invention 4 can be made of different types of rubber or silicone materials to obtain the best buffering effect.

[0032] A locking mechanism invention 5 is provided on one side of the card slot invention 3, and the locking mechanism invention 5 includes a locking ring, a locking pin and a locking groove, which is used to fix the vibrating string sensor in the card slot invention 3. The locking mechanism invention 5 works by the cooperation of the locking pin and the locking groove. When the vibrating string sensor is inserted into the card slot invention 3, the locking pin automatically cooperates with the locking groove to ensure that the vibrating string sensor is stably fixed in the card slot. The locking ring keeps the locking pin in an effective locking position through the action of a spring, further preventing the vibrating string sensor from loosening during use. The locking mechanism invention 5 enhances the fixing effect of the vibrating string sensor, ensuring that the vibrating string sensor is not easy to fall off or shift in position under any use environment. Through this design, the stability and reliability of the device are significantly improved, and it is suitable for various complex working conditions. The locking mechanism invention 5 can adopt other forms of locking structures, such as magnetic locking, snap locking, etc., as long as it can provide sufficient fixing force after the vibrating string sensor is inserted to ensure that it does not shift during use.

[0033] An adjusting device invention 6 is provided on the outside of the semicircular main body invention 1 for adjusting the size of the opening of the semicircular main body to accommodate steel bars of different specifications. The adjusting device invention 6 controls the size of the opening of the semicircular main body invention 1 through a screw adjusting mechanism or a ratchet adjusting mechanism. By rotating the adjusting device invention 6, the tightness between the semicircular main body invention 1 and the steel bar can be accurately adjusted according to the different diameters of the steel bar to ensure that the fixing device can firmly fit the surface of the steel bar. The adjusting device invention 6 makes the fixing device more adaptable and can adapt to steel bars of different specifications, solving the problem that standardized steel bar sizes cannot be fully applied, and enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the device. The adjusting device invention 6 can adopt different types of adjusting mechanisms according to specific needs. For example, in addition to screw and ratchet adjusting mechanisms, it is also possible to consider using elastic deformation mechanisms or other more adaptable adjustment methods to adjust the size of the opening.

[0034] The semicircular main body invention 1 is made of high-strength plastic or metal materials to ensure the strength and stability of the device. After the semicircular main body invention 1 is made of high-strength plastic or metal materials, it can withstand large external forces without deformation and maintain its structural stability. Both high-strength plastic and metal materials have good corrosion resistance and durability and can be used for a long time in different environments. The use of high-strength materials can ensure the strength and durability of the fixing device, thereby extending the service life of the entire device and improving its applicability in harsh environments. Especially when used in industrial sites or outdoors, the choice of materials can effectively cope with various challenges. In addition to high-strength plastic and metal materials, other composite materials or surface treatment processes with excellent performance can be used as needed to improve the overall performance of the device, such as using aluminum alloy materials to reduce weight, or using anti-corrosion coatings to improve corrosion resistance. The anti-slip pattern invention 2 can be arranged longitudinally or transversely to enhance the friction between the steel bar surface. The anti-slip pattern invention 2 forms a surface structure with different friction coefficients by arranging longitudinally or transversely. When the semicircular main body invention 1 is in contact with the surface of the steel bar, the anti-skid pattern invention 2 increases the friction of the contact surface to prevent the vibrating string sensor from sliding or falling off due to external force. Through the anti-skid pattern invention 2 with different arrangements, the friction can be adjusted according to actual use requirements, thereby improving the fixing effect. This design has strong adaptability and can be used in a variety of working conditions. The arrangement of the anti-skid pattern invention 2 can be improved or combined according to actual conditions, such as using irregular texture arrangements, or forming different anti-skid patterns in different areas through surface spraying or printing and other technologies to further optimize the friction performance.

[0035] The elastic buffer layer of Invention 4 is made of silicone or rubber material and is used to provide buffering protection for the vibrating string sensor. The elastic buffer layer of Invention 4 uses silicone or rubber material and has good elasticity, durability and shock resistance. When the vibrating string sensor is inserted into the card slot of Invention 3, the buffer layer can absorb the impact and vibration generated by the outside world, effectively reducing the direct force on the sensor, thereby protecting the sensor and ensuring its normal operation. The elasticity of the silicone or rubber material enables the buffer layer of Invention 4 to adapt to the shape of the vibrating string sensor and provide effective buffering in various operating environments, thereby improving the shock resistance and service life of the sensor, while reducing maintenance costs.

[0036] The elastic buffer layer of invention 4 can also be made of polyurethane or other polymer materials to adapt to special application scenarios. For example, when used in high temperature or corrosive environments, high temperature resistant silicone or anti-corrosion rubber can be selected.

[0037] The inner wall of the slot invention 3 is provided with a plurality of raised structures to enhance the fixing stability of the vibrating-string sensor. After the plurality of raised structures on the inner wall of the slot invention 3 come into contact with the vibrating-string sensor, the fixing effect of the sensor is further improved by increasing the contact area and friction. These raised structures are designed in regular dot, strip or grid shapes, and are optimized according to the appearance characteristics of the sensor to ensure that it is firmly fixed in the slot without sliding. The plurality of raised structures can effectively prevent the vibrating-string sensor from moving or falling off due to external force or vibration by increasing friction and contact strength, significantly improving the stability and reliability of the fixing device, and are particularly suitable for high-vibration environments.

[0038] The protrusion structure can be coated with a flexible material or combined with an elastic buffer layer to provide greater friction while protecting the sensor surface. In addition, the shape and size of the protrusion can also be adjusted according to the sensor specifications to meet different application requirements.

[0039] The locking mechanism invention 5 includes a locking ring, a locking pin and a locking groove, wherein the locking pin can cooperate with the locking groove, and the locking ring is maintained in a locked position in the slot by a spring action. The locking mechanism invention 5 utilizes the spring action of the locking ring to push the locking pin into the locking groove on the inner wall of the slot to form a tight fixed structure. After the vibrating string sensor is inserted into the slot, the locking pin automatically engages with the locking groove, and the locking ring keeps the entire mechanism in a locked state, thereby preventing the vibrating string sensor from moving or loosening. The locking mechanism is simple and reliable in design, and can quickly complete the fixing operation of the sensor while ensuring the stability of the locked state. It is particularly suitable for scenarios that require frequent installation and disassembly. In addition, the spring action further enhances the locking force, which is suitable for high-intensity usage conditions.

[0040] The form of the locking mechanism can be further optimized, such as using higher-strength materials to make the locking ring or locking pin, or replacing mechanical locking with electromagnetic locking, which is suitable for applications that require remote operation or special scenarios.

[0041] The adjusting device invention 6 is connected to a clamping belt arranged on the outside of the semicircular main body invention 1, and the adjusting device includes a screw adjustment mechanism or a ratchet adjustment mechanism. The adjusting device invention 6 controls the tightness of the clamping belt through a screw or ratchet mechanism. When the user rotates the adjusting device invention 6, the clamping belt is tightened or loosened accordingly, thereby adjusting the opening size of the semicircular main body invention 1. This design allows the device to be adapted to different diameters of steel bars to ensure a tight fit of the device. Through the screw or ratchet adjustment mechanism, the user can quickly adjust the device to adapt to steel bars of different specifications, which improves the versatility and ease of operation of the device. The use of the clamping belt further enhances the fixing effect and is not easy to cause damage to the surface of the steel bars.

[0042] Adjustment device Invention 6 Invention can adopt other forms of adjustment mechanisms, such as air pressure adjustment or hydraulic adjustment, to adapt to application scenarios that require greater clamping force or more precise adjustment. The clamping belt can also use high-strength fiber materials to further improve the durability of the device.

[0044] An anti-slip pattern is provided on the inner surface of the semicircular body to enhance the friction between the semicircular body and the steel bar surface;

[0045] A card slot is provided at the middle position of the inner side of the semicircular body, and an elastic buffer layer is provided on the inner wall of the card slot, and the card slot is used to fix the vibrating string sensor;

[0047] The vibrating string sensor is fixed in the card slot by a locking mechanism to ensure the stability of the vibrating string sensor during use;

[0048] The opening size of the semicircular body is adjusted using the adjustment device to ensure that the fixing device fits tightly to steel bars of different specifications.

[0049] This method utilizes the anti-skid pattern invention 2 of the semicircular main body invention 1 and the elastic buffer layer invention 4 in the slot invention 3 to achieve stable installation of the vibrating string sensor. The anti-skid pattern invention 2 improves the stability of the fixing device on the surface of the steel bar by enhancing the friction force; the elastic buffer layer invention 4 provides buffer protection for the vibrating string sensor and absorbs external vibration and impact. The locking mechanism invention 5 fixes the vibrating string sensor by mechanical engagement, and the adjusting device invention 6 allows the user to flexibly adjust the opening size of the fixing device according to the diameter of the steel bar, thereby ensuring the applicability and stability of the fixing device in different usage scenarios. This method realizes efficient fixation of the vibrating string sensor by comprehensively utilizing the functions of the anti-skid pattern invention 2, the elastic buffer layer invention 4, the locking mechanism invention 5 and the adjusting device invention 6. The device has good adaptability and easy operation, which not only improves the service life of the vibrating string sensor, but also significantly reduces the difficulty of operation. At the same time, this method is applicable to steel bars of different diameters, enhancing the versatility of the device.
