DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The subject matter described herein will now be discussed with reference to example embodiments. It should be understood that the discussion of these embodiments is only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the subject matter described herein, and the functions and arrangements of the elements discussed may be changed without departing from the scope of protection of the contents of this specification. Each example may omit, replace or add various processes or components as needed. In addition, the features described relative to some examples may also be combined in other examples.
[0031] Embodiment 1
[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a four-dimensional integrated road inspection device includes an inspection vehicle body 100, a vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200, a display screen 300, an RTK device 400, an image acquisition component 500 and a towing connection 600;
[0033] The inspection vehicle body 100 and the vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200 are detachably connected via a towing connector 600, wherein the image acquisition component 500 is installed on the roof of the inspection vehicle body 100, and the RTK device 400 is integrated and installed on the vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200. At the same time, a three-dimensional geological radar 220 is also installed on the vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200. The three-dimensional geological radar 220 detects underground diseases by collecting radar maps under the road. A data acquisition room is provided in the compartment of the inspection vehicle body 100, and a display screen 300 is installed in the data acquisition room.
[0034] The vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200 includes a geological radar installation outer frame 210, a three-dimensional geological radar 220, a connecting frame 240, a connecting bracket 260, an adjusting frame 270, a Doppler rangefinder 230 and a vehicle warning light 250. The three-dimensional geological radar 220 is installed in the geological radar installation outer frame 210, and the detection end of the three-dimensional geological radar 220 is arranged parallel to the road surface. At the same time, the connecting bracket 260 is installed on the outer walls of both sides of the geological radar installation outer frame 210, the connecting frame 240 is installed between two groups of connecting brackets 260, and the adjusting frame 270 is movably installed on the outer wall of the connecting frame 240. One end of the towing connector 600 is arranged on the outer wall of the bottom end of the adjusting frame 270. The Doppler rangefinder 230 and the vehicle warning light 250 are both installed on the outer wall of the connecting frame 240 away from the inspection vehicle body 100;
[0035] It should be added that the vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200 can be disassembled and placed in the compartment of the inspection vehicle 100 when it is not in operation;
[0036] The RTK device 400 is provided with a mounting rod, which is mounted on one side outer wall of the adjustment frame 270. The RTK device 400 (Real-Time Kinematic device) refers to a real-time dynamic differential positioning device, which is mainly used in various fields requiring high-precision position information, and is used to locate and record vehicle trajectory data;
[0037] The image acquisition assembly 500 includes a mounting bracket 510, an arm rotating platform 520, a first rotating arm 530, a rear camera 540, a first camera rotating platform 541, a work light 550, an auxiliary camera 560, a second rotating arm 570, a front camera 580, and a second camera rotating platform 581;
[0038] Specifically, the mounting bracket 510 is mounted on the roof of the inspection vehicle body 100, the mounting bracket 510 is perpendicular to the central axis of the inspection vehicle body 100, and the two ends of the mounting bracket 510 are mounted with arm rotating platforms 520, and the first rotating arm 530 and the second rotating arm 570 are respectively mounted on the two arm rotating platforms 520, and the first rotating arm 530 and the second rotating arm 570 are respectively mounted with the first camera rotating platform 541 and the second camera rotating platform 581, and the movable ends of the first camera rotating platform 541 and the second camera rotating platform 581 are respectively mounted with the rear camera 540 and the front camera 580, and a work light 550 is installed on the middle top of the mounting bracket 510, and auxiliary cameras 560 are installed on the outer walls of both ends of the mounting bracket 510, and the auxiliary cameras 560 are used to assist the inspection vehicle body 100 and the vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200 to observe the detection environment around them;
[0039] It should be noted that the initial state of the structure composed of the first rotating arm 530, the second rotating arm 570 and the mounting bracket 510 in the image acquisition component 500 is a Z-shaped structure, wherein the front camera 580 and the rear camera 540 are both located on the central axis of the inspection vehicle body 100. At this time, the front camera 580 detects the road surface disease of the lane directly in front, and the rear camera 540 is used to observe the geological radar situation behind;
[0040] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the initial state, the front camera 580 and the rear camera 540 are both located on the central axis of the inspection vehicle body 100. When it is necessary to detect the road surface of the road ahead, the states of the two cameras can be adjusted, that is, the morphological changes of A and D can be performed. At this time, the two cameras are respectively located on both sides of the end of the roof close to the front of the vehicle. The two cameras can also be adjusted through the first camera rotating platform 541 and the second camera rotating platform 581 to centrally collect images of the road ahead, and intelligently analyze the road surface disease conditions, identify road surface diseases, and transmit the identified road surface disease photos, disease types, coordinates and other data to the system;
[0041] By adjusting the states of the two cameras, that is, executing the morphological changes of B and C, the two cameras are respectively located on both sides of one end of the roof near the rear of the vehicle, and the two cameras can also be adjusted through the first camera rotating platform 541 and the second camera rotating platform 581, so as to centrally collect images of the road surface at the rear to judge the road surface disease condition, and at the same time monitor the working state of the three-dimensional geological radar 220, and assist the rear field of view observation of the inspection vehicle body 100 to avoid being affected by other vehicles on the road during the inspection process;
[0042] Moreover, the image acquisition component 500 can also serve as a blind spot detection device for the vehicle. When it is needed, the image acquisition component 500 is called. For example, when turning, due to the blind spot of the turn, the state of the vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200 will not be easy to observe. When turning forward, the front camera 580 can be switched to state A, or the rear camera 540 can be switched to state D. Similarly, when turning in reverse, the camera can be switched to state B, or the rear camera 540 can be switched to state C. Both can cover the blind spot of the turn, ensuring that the vehicle-mounted three-dimensional geological radar detection component 200 will not touch foreign objects or be blocked when turning with the inspection vehicle body 100, thereby improving the safety of the detection process.
[0043] Specifically, during the adjustment process, the rotation angles of the first rotating arm 530 and the second rotating arm 570 are adjusted by rotating the support arm rotating platform 520, and the first camera rotating platform 541 and the second camera rotating platform 581 at the ends of the first rotating arm 530 and the second rotating arm 570 are adjusted, which can drive the rear camera 540 and the front camera 580 to rotate and adjust themselves. The two are adjusted at the same time, which can cover a wider monitoring range;
[0044] It should be noted that the real-time dynamic positioning technology of RTK (Real Time Kinematic) equipment is a real-time differential GPS measurement technology based on carrier phase observation. After integrating RTK technology, it provides coordinate (x, y) data for surface and underground diseases detected by the "four-dimensional" road inspection equipment, which is convenient for later review and repair work. The RTK equipment 400 integrates the CORS system and pre-builds a network that supports 24-hour real-time differential source provision. The mobile station installed on the vehicle can receive the system signal;
[0045] The front camera 580 and the rear camera 540 are used to collect images of road pavement information. While detecting underground cavities, intelligent recognition is performed on surface defects (such as cracks, potholes, spalling, rutting, bulges, etc.) based on intelligent recognition algorithms. The location (coordinates), time, defect type and photos of the defects are recorded and sent to the "Urban Road Safety Hazard Management System" to which the device is connected. Such images can greatly facilitate actual road maintenance work and reduce repetitive work and labor costs. At the same time, the accumulated surface defect database is used for deep learning of the algorithm, and the recognition algorithm is continuously optimized to cope with surface defect recognition work in various complex scenarios.
[0046] The "urban road safety hazard management system" to which the device is connected is an existing technology, which is used to assist in the management of safety hazards on urban roads;
[0047] The damage under the road is detected by 3D geological radar 220. 3D geological radar 220 is a geological radar that uses ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology. The following is a brief description of its working principle:
[0048] Transmitting electromagnetic waves: The 3D geological radar 220 transmits high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the ground through the transmitting antenna;
[0049] Receiving electromagnetic waves: When electromagnetic waves propagate in underground media, they are reflected or scattered when they encounter interfaces with electrical differences. The electromagnetic waves reflected or scattered back to the ground are received by the receiving antenna;
[0050] Generate radar spectrum: Generate radar spectrum according to the received electromagnetic wave signal;
[0051] Data analysis: The spatial position, structure, morphology and burial depth of the underground medium can be inferred based on the waveform, amplitude intensity and time change of the electromagnetic waves in the radar spectrum.
[0052] The above describes an embodiment of the present embodiment, but the present embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present embodiment, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms, all of which are within the protection of the present embodiment.
