Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thickness measurement, and particularly relates to a device for measuring the thickness of the steel bar protective layer. Background Art

[0002] The steel bar protective layer refers to the layer of concrete in a concrete component that protects the steel bars from being directly exposed. Its thickness is the vertical distance from the outer edge of the steel bar to the concrete surface. It can prevent the steel bars from directly contacting media such as air, water, acid, alkali, and salt, avoid the corrosion of the steel bars, and extend the service life of the structure. The alkaline environment of the concrete can form a passivation film on the surface of the steel bars, further enhancing the protection effect.

[0003] Currently, it is necessary to measure the thickness of the steel bar protective layer. If the thickness of the steel bar protective layer is insufficient, the steel bars are prone to corrosion, resulting in the cracking and spalling of the concrete, a decrease in the structural bearing capacity, and even potential safety hazards. If the thickness of the steel bar protective layer is too large, the effective stress-bearing cross-section of the component will be reduced, the stiffness will be decreased, and cracks will appear in advance, affecting the structural performance. For example, the patent with the publication number CN110672022A proposes a device for controlling and measuring the thickness of the steel bar protective layer during the construction of reinforced concrete projects. Traditionally, the thickness of the steel bar protective layer is commonly measured directly with a ruler or a feeler gauge, but such a measurement method has large errors and cannot quickly determine whether the currently measured thickness of the steel bar protective layer meets the standard, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of the measurement work.

[0025] The steel bar diameter synchronous feedback mechanism 6 is installed on the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 and is electrically connected to the measurement result confirmation mechanism 5. The steel bar diameter synchronous feedback mechanism 6 includes an insulating cylinder 61 fixedly installed on the upper end of the U - shaped positioning plate 21. One side of the inner wall of the insulating cylinder 61 is fixedly installed with a feedback resistance rod 62. The upper end of the extrusion plate 23 is fixedly installed with a synchronous rod 63. The upper end of the synchronous rod 63 penetrates into the insulating cylinder 61. The rod wall of the upper end of the synchronous rod 63 is fixedly connected with a feedback conductive contact piece 64 in electrical contact with the feedback resistance rod 62.

[0026] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: After the steel bar project is completed and the reinforced concrete formwork is placed in place, first, the U-shaped positioning plate 21 is sleeved on one of the outer steel bars of the steel bar skeleton. The PLC controller controls the electric push rod 22 to act. The electric push rod 22 pushes the extrusion plate 23 to move. The clamping force between the U-shaped positioning plate 21 and the extrusion plate 23 makes the entire measuring device firmly connected to the steel bar. When the PLC controller monitors that the output torque of the electric push rod 22 reaches the threshold value, the PLC controller controls the electric push rod 22 to stop acting, and confirms that the positioning and fixing mechanism 2 is firmly connected to the steel bar; The PLC controller then controls the power supply device to supply power to the suction electromagnetic plate 77. The suction electromagnetic plate 77 is energized to generate a magnetic force opposite to that of the suction permanent magnet plate 76, thereby providing an attractive force to the push-pull plate 73 and the triangular blocking block 75. As a result, the push-pull plate 73 overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 74 along the limit slide rod 72 and drives the triangular blocking block 75 to be received into the extension shell 71, thereby releasing the limit of the triangular blocking block 75 on the measuring block 32. The measuring block 32 drives the measuring rod 31 and the contact plate 37 to move under the action of the pulling spring 33 until the contact plate 37 contacts the reinforced concrete formwork. When there is an angular deviation of the reinforced concrete formwork relative to the measuring cylinder 1, at this time, the contact plate 37 contacts the reinforced concrete formwork, but there will be a deflection angle difference from the transmission shaft 39 and the mounting cylinder 36. As a result, the transmission shaft 39 drives the pressing plate 48 to generate an angular offset in the feedback circular shell 41, so that the pressing plate 48 presses on the forward trigger switch 46 or the reverse trigger switch 47. The forward trigger switch 46 and the reverse trigger switch 47 control the deflection motor 24 to perform forward drive or reverse drive, thereby adjusting the relative deflection angle of the measuring cylinder 1 to make the measuring cylinder 1 perpendicular to the reinforced concrete formwork until the pressing plate 48 no longer presses and contacts the forward trigger switch 46 or the reverse trigger switch 47. At this time, the PLC controller controls the deflection motor 24 to stop acting, and confirms the final measuring position of the measuring cylinder 1. At this time, the PLC controller controls the infrared emitter 35 and the infrared receiver 34 to work. The infrared emitter 35 emits infrared light that is received by the infrared receiver 34. By calculating the time when the infrared receiver 34 receives the infrared light, the relative moving distance of the measuring block 32 is determined, which represents the measured thickness of the steel bar protection layer; The PLC controller controls the power supply device to supply power to the feedback electromagnetic plate 513 based on the thickness signal fed back by the infrared emitter 35 and the infrared receiver 34. Specifically, the greater the measured thickness, the greater the current that the PLC controller controls the power supply device to supply to the feedback electromagnetic plate 513. After the feedback electromagnetic plate 513 is energized, it generates the same magnetic force as the feedback permanent magnet plate 512, thereby giving a magnetic thrust to the force-receiving plate 510, causing the force-receiving plate 510 to move upward a greater distance along the guiding slide rod 59 against the elastic force of the holding spring 511. And based on the requirement of the initial set thickness of the steel bar protection layer, the regulating motor 53 is controlled to operate. The regulating motor 53 drives the regulating screw rod 52 to rotate self-drivenly. Through the threaded socket connection between the regulating screw rod 52 and the regulating seat 54, the regulating seat 54 drives the U-shaped lifting plate 55 to move up and down to a suitable height position. The relative position of the U-shaped lifting plate 55 and the two pressure switches 56 therein is determined by the relative indication of the marking needle 58 and the thickness value scale plate 57. When the measurement result of the steel bar protection layer thickness is within the allowable range, at this time, the magnetic thrust generated by the cooperation of the feedback electromagnetic plate 513 and the feedback permanent magnet plate 512 will make the force-receiving plate 510 at a suitable height, that is, the force-receiving plate 510 is located within the U-shaped lifting plate 55 but does not press and contact the upper and lower pressure switches 56, indicating that the measurement result is qualified. And when the measured thickness is too large or too small, it will cause the force-receiving plate 510 to press on the upper or lower pressure switch 56, indicating that the measurement result of the current position of the steel bar protection layer thickness is unqualified; And when the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 is initially used to be connected and fixed to the steel bar, during the downward movement of the pressing plate 23, the synchronous rod 63 will be driven to move synchronously. The synchronous rod 63 drives the feedback conductive contact piece 64 to slide on the feedback resistance rod 62. Specifically, the larger the diameter of the steel bar, the shorter the distance that the pressing plate 23 needs to move downward, and then the smaller the distance that the feedback conductive contact piece 64 slides on the feedback resistance rod 62, making the access resistance value of the feedback resistance rod 62 relatively smaller. And the feedback conductive contact piece 64 and the feedback resistance rod 62 are connected in series in the power supply circuit of the regulating electromagnetic plate 85. And after the regulating electromagnetic plate 85 is energized, it generates the same magnetic force as the regulating permanent magnet plate 84, thereby driving the moving plate 82 to move relatively along the fixed slide rod 81 against the elastic force of the connecting spring 83. When the larger diameter of the steel bar makes the access resistance value of the feedback resistance rod 62 relatively smaller, at this time, the supply current of the regulating electromagnetic plate 85 is larger, making the moving distance of the moving plate 82 larger, and then making the interval distance between the two pressure switches 56 smaller, indicating that the allowable error value of the measurement thickness result is smaller. Because the larger the diameter of the steel bar, the higher the importance of the component where it is located, and the allowable error needs to be more strictly controlled. The cross-sectional area of the large-diameter steel bar is large and the risk of stress concentration is high. The specification ensures that the protection layer thickness can provide sufficient anchorage and durability reserve by reducing the allowable error (that is, more strictly controlling the negative deviation).

[0027] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
