Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of measuring equipment, in particular to an optical fiber comprehensive measuring sensor for hole diameter and verticality in pile foundation drilling construction. Background Art

[0002] During the construction of pile foundation projects, the pile holes must be measured after construction is completed to check whether the pile hole diameter meets the construction requirements. However, it is impossible to manually go down to the bottom of the pile to measure, so many devices for measuring hole diameter and verticality have emerged.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN202578672U discloses a "well diameter measuring device for measuring the diameter of a pile hole". The device achieves hole diameter measurement by reciprocating the measuring device up and down in the pile hole, but the device requires a motor for control, and on-site operation is cumbersome.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN212340134U discloses a "Simplified Device for Measuring the Diameter of Bored Pile and the Diameter of the Expanded Head." This device measures the pile diameter by adding the scale values ​​on the surfaces of two horizontal measuring rods placed in the pile hole to the lengths of the pile casing and the fixed tube. However, this device relies on manual readings, resulting in limited accuracy.

[0005] Chinese patent document CN113324460B discloses a "pile hole diameter detection device for supervision", which uses a diameter measuring component to extend into the pile hole to detect the diameter of the pile hole, but the device is large in size and inconvenient to set up and measure.

[0006] Chinese patent document CN113654522B discloses a method for measuring the verticality of rotary bored pile holes while drilling. This method uses a measurement while drilling device to collect and store the posture data of each measuring section of the pile hole. The host computer calculates the pile hole trajectory to obtain the verticality of the pile hole and the inclination angle of each measuring section of the pile hole. However, this device cannot measure the diameter of the pile hole.

[0007] Chinese patent document CN105927213A discloses a device and method for accurately measuring the verticality of bored pile holes. This device uses a laser transmitter and receiver that travel at a constant speed along a track, emitting a vertically downward laser signal and reflecting the laser signal vertically upward upon encountering the borehole boundary. However, the high cost of the laser in this device has hindered widespread adoption.

[0008] Chinese patent document CN220602395U discloses "A device for detecting the diameter, hole depth and sediment thickness of bored piles." This device sets a diameter measuring disk with an outer diameter that is the same as the hole diameter of the bored pile. The diameter measuring disk can be placed on the upper surface of the sediment layer for measurement. However, the device does not take into account the increase in hole diameter during the lowering process, which can easily cause measurement errors.

[0009] In summary, existing aperture and verticality detection equipment have problems such as low accuracy, high cost, and cumbersome operation. Based on this, the present invention designs an optical fiber comprehensive measurement sensor for aperture and verticality in pile foundation drilling construction. Summary of the Invention

[0035] The stainless steel main frame 1 is a cylinder. The rotation axis of the wireless gyroscope 3 is coaxial with the stainless steel main frame 1 and is fixed to the bottom of the stainless steel main frame 1. The stainless steel main frame 1 is provided with n through holes 6 penetrating the cylinder.

[0036] In this embodiment, the positions of the through holes 6 are as follows: the spacing between adjacent through holes 6 in the axial direction of the stainless steel main frame 1 is 2.0 cm, and each through hole 6 is ≥5 cm away from both ends of the stainless steel main frame 1.

The optical fiber bracket is T-shaped and includes an optical fiber support 7 and a top plate 20 located on the top of the optical fiber support 7.

[0039] The protective sleeve 10, the fixed column 11, the limiting ring 12, the transfer column 19, the sleeve 14, and the tail column 15 are coaxial, wherein the protective sleeve 10, the fixed column 11, the limiting ring 12, and the sleeve (14) are all hollow cylinders with openings at both ends. The outer diameter and length of the fixed column 11 are adapted to the through hole 6. The outer diameter of the protective sleeve 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fixed column 11, and the outer diameter of the limiting ring 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the fixed column 11. The inner diameter of the sleeve 14 is adapted to the outer diameter of the transfer column 19.

[0040] One end of the fixing post 11 is fixedly connected to the protective sleeve 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 12. The optical fiber holder is located in the inner cavity of the limiting ring 12. The bottom end face of the optical fiber pillar 7 is fixedly connected to the tail end face of the fixing post 11. The pillar body extends along the axial direction of the limiting ring 12 to the middle part of the limiting ring 12.
