Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bridge detection equipment, and particularly relates to a pier crack detection device. Background Art
[0002] As an important load-bearing structure of a bridge, the health status of a pier is directly related to the overall safety and service life of the bridge. However, during long-term service, piers are often affected by various factors such as external loads, environmental erosion, and construction quality, and are prone to hidden dangers such as cracks, spalling, and steel bar corrosion. If these defects are not discovered and repaired in time, they will seriously threaten the structural safety of the bridge.
[0003] Existing detection devices mostly use wall-climbing robots to carry detection equipment to climb on the pier and collect crack disease data; in order to achieve complete circumferential wall crack collection of the pier, the wall-climbing robot needs to move up and down reciprocally or move circumferentially and then move up. The running track of the wall-climbing robot is long, the collection time is long, and the failure risk (falling) of the wall-climbing robot increases. There are also devices that form an annular track around the pier and use lifting equipment for lifting control. Although the detection equipment can comprehensively collect pier wall diseases, most of these devices have design defects. The annular track needs to be manually disassembled and installed, which is not convenient to use, and has poor adaptability to piers with changing diameters; at the same time, it is not convenient for storage and transportation. There is also a semi-circular detection device in the prior art that can clamp the pier and move up and down. Although it has strong adaptability to the change of pier diameter, it cannot form an annular track, which is not conducive to the efficient collection of pier wall crack diseases by the detection equipment.

Any existing wall-climbing robot that climbs the wall by vacuum adsorption can be applied in the present invention. The wall-climbing robot 1 needs to provide a connection point that can be relatively fixed to its own body, and a substrate 2 is fixed by welding, bolt connection or detachable connection. The substrate 2 is integrally in the shape of a square plate; a frame structure with a plate-like shape can also be used. A certain gap space should be reserved between the substrate 2 and the outer wall of the bridge pier to facilitate the formation of a rope conveying mechanism by the detection device. The substrate 2 can be placed on the abdomen, back or the front and rear ends of the outside of the wall-climbing robot 1, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the structural characteristics of the wall-climbing robot 1 used. The controller built in the wall-climbing robot 1 is used to comprehensively control the actions of the telescopic holding arm and the detection mechanism. The controller is connected to the external mobile control terminal by wireless transmission.
[0020] The telescopic holding arm is used in cooperation with the wall-climbing robot 1. The telescopic holding arm has the function of telescopic storage in its structural design. The telescopic holding arm includes a first folding and telescopic mechanism provided on the substrate 2 and two folding and telescopic arms provided on the first folding and telescopic mechanism.

The folding and telescopic arms, the first folding and telescopic mechanism and the substrate 2 can surround the outside of the bridge pier and form an open or closed ring structure; it can adapt to bridge piers with different diameters by means of a unique telescopic structure. The folding and telescopic arms and the first folding and telescopic mechanism can ensure that there is no axial movement along the bridge pier during the telescopic process, and can also ensure that the rope conveying mechanism formed in cooperation is a stable ring.

The two first nut seats 6 respectively cooperate with the two threaded sections of the bidirectional threaded screw 4 with opposite rotation directions; the first nut seat 6 is square-shaped; the base 8 is square-shaped; the sum of the total lengths of the two first transmission rods 7 is slightly greater than the total length of the threaded sections of the bidirectional threaded screw 4.

The fixed seat 9 is in a square shape and is fixedly connected to the base 8. The fixed seat 9 can also be a part of the base 8. The rotating shaft 10 is longitudinally arranged and rotatably connected to the fixed seat 9. The specific connection method of the rotating shaft 10 is: two ear plates spaced up and down are provided on the fixed seat 9, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 10 pass through the ear plates and are rotatably connected to the two ear plates. The second motor 11 is connected to the fixed seat 9 through the motor seat and is connected to the rotating shaft 10 through a gear transmission mechanism. The gear transmission mechanism is a combination of two meshing gears respectively fixed on the output shaft of the second motor 11 and the rotating shaft 10.
[0024] The second folding and telescoping mechanism and the third folding and telescoping mechanism both include a frame 12, a double-extended motor 13, a transmission screw 14, a second nut seat 15, and a second transmission rod 16. The frame 12 is a square-shaped structure, integrally strip-shaped, and longitudinally arranged. The double-extended motor 13 is fixed at the middle position inside the frame 12, and its two output shafts are arranged along the length direction of the frame 12. There are two transmission screws 14, symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the double-extended motor 13; the transmission screw 14 is rotationally connected to the frame 12 through a bearing seat fixed on the frame 12, and the two output ends of the double-extended motor 13 are respectively connected to the two transmission screws 14. There are two second nut seats 15, which are respectively in threaded cooperation with the two transmission screws 14, and the second nut seat 15 is slidably matched with the frame 12, and the two transmission screws 14 have opposite thread directions. The second transmission rods 16 are hinged on the second nut seat 15 and symmetrically arranged left and right, with a quantity of four; the two second transmission rods 16 on one side of the second folding and telescoping mechanism are respectively hinged to the two ends of the rotating shaft 10 of the first flipping and adjusting mechanism, and the two second transmission rods 16 on the other side are respectively hinged to the upper and lower ends of the fixed seat 9 of the second flipping and adjusting mechanism; the two second transmission rods 16 on one side of the third folding and telescoping mechanism are respectively hinged to the two ends of the rotating shaft 10 of the second flipping and adjusting mechanism, and the two second transmission rods 16 on the other side are respectively hinged to the upper and lower ends of the fixed seat 9 of the third flipping and adjusting mechanism.
[0025] The adjusting arm includes a connecting seat 17 provided on the rotating shaft 10 of the third flipping and adjusting mechanism, a first electric push rod 18 and a telescopic rod 19 arranged in parallel and spaced apart up and down on one side of the connecting seat 17, and a connecting plate 20 connected to the ends of the first electric push rod 18 and the telescopic rod 19; the telescopic rod 19 can be composed of two nested pipe bodies with different diameters, which improves the overall stability after cooperating with the first electric push rod 18.
[0026] The detection mechanism includes an image acquisition device and a rope conveying mechanism provided between the base plate 2 and the folding and telescoping arm and provided with a detachable connection mechanism. The image acquisition device is used for crack image acquisition. The rope conveying mechanism is used to form an annular track around the bridge pier, and can form triangular, quadrilateral, hexagonal, and octagonal annular tracks according to the telescopic deformation situation.
[0027] The rope conveying mechanism includes a winch device, a wire drum 21, an obstacle-crossing combination frame, and a detachable fitting. The winch device uses the steel wire rope it has to form an annular track; the wire drum 21 assists in supporting the steel wire rope and plays a guiding and positioning role for the steel wire rope; the obstacle-crossing combination frame is used for the support members that the steel wire rope crosses during the movement of the steel wire rope to ensure the relatively stable movement of the image acquisition device; the detachable fitting enables the steel wire rope to have the characteristics of being disconnectable and connectable, thereby facilitating the formation of a surrounding shape around the bridge pier or the removal from the bridge pier.
[0028] The winch device includes a U-shaped frame 22, a wire reel 23, and a driving device. The U-shaped frame 22 is fixed on the substrate 2, and the U-shaped frame 22 is formed with two plate-shaped side arms. The two ends of the wire reel 23 are provided with rotating shafts. A rotary damper 24 is provided between the rotating shaft at one end of the wire reel 23 and the side arm of the U-shaped frame 22, and the rotating shaft at the other end extends and penetrates to the outside of the side arm of the U-shaped frame 22. Two mutually independent steel wire ropes are wound on each wire reel 23. The steel wire rope can also be an elastic elastic rope. If an elastic rope is selected, it should be ensured that the connecting frame 31 on the obstacle-crossing combination frame and the gravity of the image acquisition device do not cause the elastic elongation of the elastic rope. The driving device is arranged on the substrate 2 and selectively cooperates with the two wire reels 23. After cooperation, it can drive the wire reel 23 to rotate. When the cooperation is released, the wire reel 23 can rotate freely, but restricted by the action of the rotary damper 24, the wire reel 23 can only rotate slowly, and the wire reel 23 stops when the rope body is subjected to a rapid pulling action. The driving device includes a sliding seat 25, a third motor 26, and a bevel gear transmission mechanism. The sliding seat 25 includes a motor mounting seat that slidably cooperates with the substrate 2 in a straight line, and a second electric push rod 27 arranged on the substrate and connected to the motor mounting seat. A strip-shaped groove is provided on the substrate 2, and the cross-section of the strip-shaped groove is T-shaped. A slider adapted to and slidably cooperating with the strip-shaped groove is provided on the sliding seat 25. The cooperation of the strip-shaped groove and the slider enables the sliding seat 25 to slide on the substrate and not detach from the substrate 2. The third motor 26 is fixed on the motor mounting seat, and the sliding direction of the motor mounting seat is parallel to the axis direction of the wire reel 23. The bevel gear transmission mechanism includes a first straight bevel gear 28 arranged on the output shaft of the third motor 26, and second straight bevel gears 29 respectively arranged on the rotating shafts of the two wire reels 23. When the second electric push rod 27 drives the motor mounting seat to slide a certain distance, the first straight bevel gear 28 meshes with the two second straight bevel gears 29 at the same time.
[0029] The wire guide cylinder 21 penetrates and is fixed on the substrate; the port of the wire guide cylinder 21 is in a horn shape to reduce or avoid the wear of the steel wire rope at the port; the wire guide cylinder 21 is in an arc shape. Four wire guide cylinders 21 are provided, and four steel wire ropes respectively penetrate the four wire guide cylinders 21 and slidably cooperate with the wire guide cylinders 21.
[0030] The obstacle-crossing combined frame includes a plurality of support frames 30 fixed on the folding telescopic arm and arranged along the extension direction, and a connecting frame 31 cooperating with the support frame 30; the connecting frame 31 is fixedly connected to the steel wire rope. The support frame 30 is integrally T-shaped and is in a horizontally inclined state. The upper and lower ends of the longitudinal rod body of the support frame 30 are provided with an inclined U-shaped wire groove 32; the upper and lower sides of the transverse rod body of the support frame 30 are provided with arc-shaped track grooves 33; the cross-section of the arc-shaped track groove 33 is in the shape of an inclined U; the U-shaped wire groove 32 is in sliding fit with the steel wire rope, and the steel wire rope can be completely separated from the U-shaped wire groove 32 after being pulled a certain distance away from the U-shaped wire groove 32. The support frame 30 can be arranged on a plurality of fixed seats 9, and the support frame 30 is also arranged on the connecting plate 20. The connecting frame 31 is integrally in the shape of an inclined U-shaped groove, similar to a frame structure; the two free ends of the connecting frame 31 are provided with rollers 35 adapted to the arc-shaped track grooves 33; two rod bodies 34 respectively fixedly connected to two strands of the steel wire rope are arranged on the inner sides of the two side arms of the connecting frame 31. When the connecting frame 31 cooperates with the support frame 30, it crosses over the support frame 30 in a spanning manner. During the crossing process: First, the roller 35 cooperates with the arc-shaped track groove 33, and the arc-shaped track groove 33 plays a guiding and limiting role on the roller 35, thereby realizing the guiding and limiting of the overall connecting frame 31. The arc-shaped track groove 33 makes the walking track of the connecting frame 31 arc-shaped, thereby generating a displacement in the direction of the transverse rod body of the support frame 30 between the rod body 34 and the U-shaped wire groove 32. This displacement is that they first gradually move away from each other and then gradually reset, and move a short distance by means of the cooperation of the arc-shaped track groove 33; thus, the steel wire rope at the connection of the rod body 34 first disengages from the cooperation of the U-shaped wire groove 32 and then re-embeds into the U-shaped wire groove 32; interference between the rod body 34 and the U-shaped wire groove 32 is also avoided, realizing obstacle crossing.
[0031] The detachable fitting cooperates with the steel wire rope to form a detachable connection mechanism. The detachable fitting includes an elastic cord 36, threaded cylinders 37 provided at both ends of the elastic cord 36, and a threaded short rod 38 provided at the end of the steel wire rope; the threaded short rod 38 is in threaded fit with the threaded cylinder 37. The threaded cylinder 37 and the elastic cord 36 can both slide in the U-shaped wire groove 32. A plurality of detachable fittings can be arranged at equal intervals on the steel wire rope.
[0032] The image acquisition device specifically includes a pan-tilt 39 connected to the connecting frame 31 and a high-definition camera 40 provided on the pan-tilt 39; Other devices that are conducive to image acquisition can also be used.
[0033] The wall-climbing robot 1 is self-equipped with a battery or an external power supply. The electrical devices in the whole device are connected to the wall-climbing robot 1 and receive control commands from the internal controller of the wall-climbing robot 1. The wall-climbing robot 1 establishes a connection with the mobile control terminal through a wireless remote control method and conducts data transmission.
[0034] The working process and principle of the present invention are as follows: Based on the actual operating conditions, use a crane or a ship for transportation and combine with manual operation to transport the device to the pier to be measured.
[0035] Start the wall-climbing robot 1 to adsorb and fix it on the pier. According to the pre-known pier diameter, control the telescopic clamping arm to expand to form a surrounding device for the pier. The controller controls the operation of the first motor 3, the double-shaft extension motor 13 and the first electric push rod 18 to realize the extension of the first folding and telescopic mechanism and the folding and telescopic arm. When the first motor 3 operates, it drives the first nut seat 6 to move towards or away from each other, and then controls the folding or unfolding of the first transmission rod 7. When tending to fold, the folding and telescopic arm expands outwards, and vice versa for contraction. When the double-shaft extension motor 13 operates, it controls the second nut seat 15 to move towards or away from each other, and then controls the corresponding four second transmission rods 16 to be in a folded or unfolded state. When tending to fold, the folding and telescopic arm further unfolds. The elongation of the first electric push rod 18 can extend the length of the folding and telescopic arm. During the unfolding process of the folding and telescopic arm, the second motor 11 controls the rotation of the rotating shaft 10 by a fixed angle, and then makes the folding and telescopic arm form a clamping state, so as to realize the surrounding of the pier.
[0036] After the first folding and telescoping mechanism and the folding and telescoping arm are unfolded, the threaded short rods 38 at the ends of the two corresponding steel wire ropes are connected to the threaded cylinders 37. At this time, the steel wire ropes are wound around the outside of the bridge pier and form tracks that are spaced up and down and tend to be parallel. When performing this connection operation, the second electric push rod 27 should also be controlled to move a certain distance first, so that the third motor 26 is far away from the wire reel 23. At this time, the first straight bevel gear 28 is separated from the second straight bevel gear 29; the staff can pull the disconnected steel wire rope and perform the connection operation. After connection, the wire reel 23 is rotated appropriately to tension the steel wire rope, and then the second electric push rod 27 is controlled to reset, so that the first straight bevel gear 28 and the second straight bevel gear 29 are engaged again. The pan-tilt 39 is connected and fixed to the connecting frame 31, and this operation can also be completed in advance. At this time, the first folding and telescoping mechanism and the folding and telescoping arm form a support for the steel wire rope, and the steel wire rope is wound around the outside of the bridge pier. When the third motor 26 rotates, it causes the steel wire rope to move, and then drives the high-definition camera 40 to perform a circumferential shooting around the outside of the bridge pier. After a period of circumferential shooting is completed, the wall-climbing robot is controlled to move up a certain distance, and finally the crack image acquisition work of the entire bridge pier is completed. The movement process of the high-definition camera 40 is similar to the cable car transportation method. Due to the existence of the turning process, interference is bound to occur between the connecting frame 31 and the support frame 30. Therefore, the structures of the connecting frame 31 and the support frame 30 need to be reasonably designed to avoid interference and achieve obstacle crossing; the specific working principle is: when the connecting frame 31 moves horizontally driven by the steel wire rope and encounters the support frame 30, the rollers 35 of the connecting frame 31 are preferentially engaged with the arc-shaped track groove 33 and roll in the track. With the arc-shaped track of the arc-shaped track groove 33, the rod body 34 drives the steel wire rope to break away from the U-shaped wire groove 32, avoiding interference between the rod body 34 and the U-shaped wire groove 32. At the same time, the cooperation between the arc-shaped track groove 33 and the rollers 35 ensures that the steel wire rope has no longitudinal fluctuation and realizes stable transportation. After the connecting frame 31 is disengaged from the support frame 30, the steel wire rope automatically fits into the U-shaped wire groove 32. Under the action of the elastic rope elastic force and / or under the condition of the surplus of the steel wire rope, the steel wire rope can break away from the U-shaped wire groove 32.
[0037] After the detection is completed, the wall-climbing robot 1 controls the telescopic holding arm to be retracted to reduce the occupied space. The entire detection process takes a short time and is comprehensive without omission.
