Abstract
Description
I. Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of highway engineering inspection, and particularly to a method for detecting the verticality of regularly tapered-section columns commonly found in highway engineering. II. Background Art
[0002] Many facilities in highway electromechanical engineering, such as cameras, vehicle detectors, and street lamps, are installed on cylindrical or regular polygon columns, or on regularly tapered-section cylindrical or polygon high poles, which are supported by these high poles. As an important support structure, the verticality of the high poles is directly related to the stability and safety of the entire engineering structure. If the verticality deviation of the columns exceeds the allowable range, it may cause the center of gravity of the high poles and the upper equipment facilities to shift, increasing the unevenness of the structural stress, and increasing the risk of toppling in the event of natural disasters such as earthquakes and strong winds.
[0003] At present, there are various detection methods for the verticality of non-tapered-section columns. For example, the traditional plumb line method judges the verticality by comparing the thin line hanging the plumb bob with the column surface. This method is simple to operate, but has a small sampling range, low accuracy, and is greatly affected by human factors such as swing and deviation of the observation angle. The error is particularly obvious in the detection of columns with high heights, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of modern engineering for high-precision detection. In addition, there is also the verticality ruler method, but there is also the problem of narrow sampling range and insufficient representativeness.
[0004] For the verticality of regularly tapered-section columns, there are few simple and effective detection methods. In most cases, due to the lack of suitable instruments or methods for detection, the detection stays at the visual inspection stage or is helplessly ignored. III. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a method for detecting the verticality of regularly tapered-section cylindrical or polygon high poles, which can make up for the deficiencies of existing detection methods, realize high-precision, high-efficiency, low-cost and simple-operation detection of the verticality of regularly tapered-section columns, and meet the requirements for the verticality detection of this type of columns in highway electromechanical engineering inspection.
[0006] The principle of this method is that for a circular tapered-section column, within the visible range of the total station to the column, two cross-sections of the column can be selected, and for each of the two cross-sections, the spatial coordinates of any 3 measuring points are measured. For a regular pentagon or hexagon cross-section tapered column, the total station can select the visible polygon corners of the two cross-sections and measure the spatial coordinates of 3 measuring points of the upper and lower cross-sections.
[0007] According to the theorem that any three non-collinear points can determine a circle, after measurement, based on the spatial coordinate values of the three points, the calculation formulas for the circles formed by the upper and lower cross-sections can be calculated respectively. In this way, the center coordinates O 1 and O 2 of the circles formed by the measurement points of the upper and lower cross-sections can be obtained according to the spatial coordinate calculation formula of the circle. The center coordinates are the centroid coordinates of the regular gradually changing cross-section column, and thus the verticality of the regular gradually changing cross-section column can be calculated.

[0023] 1. Set up a prismless total station on a relatively flat place with good visibility and level it;
[0024] 2. Determine the coordinates of the backsight point;
[0025] 3. Coordinate acquisition. The prismless total station is aimed at a cross-section at the upper end of the gradually changing cross-section column. First, measure the coordinates of three points on the upper cross-section: A(X 1 , Y 1 , Z 1 ); B(X 2 , Y 2 , Z 1 ); C(X 3 , Y 3 , Z 1 ); Then measure the coordinates of three points on the lower cross-section of the column: D(X 4 , Y 4 , Z 2 ); E(X 5 , Y 5 , Z 2 ); F(X 6 , Y 6 , Z 2 ). When selecting the measuring points, note that if it is a circular gradually changing cross-section, any three points within the visible range of the total station can be selected. If it is a regular polygon gradually changing cross-section, 3 polygon corner points within the visible range of the total station should be selected;
[0026] 4. Calculate the center coordinates: First, substitute the coordinate values of the three measuring points ABC on the upper cross-section into the formula X 2 +Y 2 +DX+EY+F = 0 (D 2 +E 2 -4F>0), and the DEF values of the mathematical expression of the circle formed by the three measuring points on the upper cross-section can be obtained, so as to obtain the mathematical formula of the circle formed by the three measuring points on the upper cross-section. Then, according to the obtained DEF values, the plane coordinate values of the center O 1 (-D 1 / 2, -E 1 / 2) can be obtained. Note that the Z-axis coordinate value of the center O 1 is Z 1 ; In the same way, the plane coordinate values of the center O 2 of the circumscribed circle of the corresponding three measuring points on the lower cross-section (-D 2 / 2, -E 2 / 2) are obtained, and its Z-axis coordinate value is Z 2 ;
[0027] 5. Calculate the verticality of the column. The deviation value r between the two centers = SORT((X 1 - X 2 ) 2 +(Y 1 - Y 2 ) 2 ), and the vertical distance h between the two centers is h = Z 1 - Z 2 . The verticality of the column = r / h * 100%.

Then, according to the x and y axis coordinate values of the DEF coordinates, we can get the plane coordinate value of the center O1 (-D1 / 2, -E1 / 2). Note that the Z axis coordinate value of the center O1 is Z1. In the same way, we can get the plane coordinate value of the center O2 of the circumscribed circle of the three measuring points corresponding to the lower section (-D2 / 2, -E2 / 2), and its Z axis coordinate value is Z2.
