Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beam storage platform monitoring technology, and more specifically, to an automated settlement monitoring system and method for beam storage platforms in beam yards. Background Technology

[0002] In bridge construction, beam storage platforms in beam yards are typically constructed of cast concrete, serving as crucial facilities for supporting precast beams. These platforms temporarily store and support precast beams within the beam yard, providing a foundation for subsequent beam erection. However, over time, beam storage platforms often experience some settlement. Because this settlement process is relatively slow and lacks obvious external manifestations, the changes are usually imperceptible to the naked eye.

[0003] Once precast beams are placed on the abutments, settlement issues gradually emerge. In particular, the height difference between the two ends of the abutment, usually caused by uneven settlement, affects the overall stability of the bridge structure. As settlement continues, the height difference can cause twisting or deformation at both ends of the bridge, potentially leading to structural damage and even compromising its operational safety. Such settlement problems not only negatively impact the construction accuracy of the bridge but also increase later maintenance costs and shorten the bridge's lifespan. Therefore, effectively monitoring the settlement of beam storage abutments in beam yards has become a pressing issue in bridge construction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated settlement monitoring system and method for beam storage platforms in beam yards, which can facilitate effective monitoring of the settlement of beam storage platforms.

[0005] Firstly, embodiments of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automated settlement monitoring system for beam storage platforms in beam yards includes:

[0007] The support unit includes a support frame, which is spaced outside the pedestal and horizontally fixed on the ground.

[0008] The lifting unit comprises four units located at the four corners of the platform. Each lifting unit includes an outer cylinder, a piston rod, and a rod body. The outer cylinder is vertically mounted on the support frame. The piston rod is slidably inserted into the outer cylinder. The outer cylinder is filled with a liquid medium. The piston rod is used to push the liquid medium to move. One end of the rod body is fixedly connected to the piston rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the platform.

[0009] The observation unit includes a transparent shell, which is divided into four equal chambers. Each of the four chambers is also filled with a liquid medium. Each chamber corresponds to a lifting unit and is connected to the outer cylinder through a corresponding connecting pipe, so that the liquid medium can flow from the outer cylinder to the corresponding chamber.

[0010] The observation plate is provided with four plates and is correspondingly slidably disposed in the cavity. When the four observation plates are in the initial position, the four observation plates are in the same plane.

[0011] An alarm unit is connected to the observation unit and is used to issue an alarm signal when the four observation plates are not on the same plane.

[0012] Furthermore, a ball seat is fixedly installed on the support frame, the outer cylinder ball joint is set on the ball seat, and pipe clamps are fixedly sleeved on both the outer cylinder and the ball seat. Multiple deformable rods are evenly arranged between the two pipe clamps and along the circumference of the outer cylinder. The deformable rods have a deformable part at the middle position, and the deformable part is arranged in a spiral shape.

[0013] Furthermore, the deformable rod has thickened portions at both ends, which are connected to the deformable portion, and the stiffness of the thickened portion is greater than that of the deformable portion.

[0014] Furthermore, each alarm unit corresponds to one of the chambers. Each alarm unit includes a push-button switch, an alarm light, and a buzzer. The button of the push-button switch slides through the transparent housing and abuts against the observation plate. The push-button switch, the alarm light, and the buzzer are connected in series via wires to control the activation of the alarm light and the buzzer.

[0015] Furthermore, the liquid medium in each of the four chambers is a medium of a different color.

[0016] Furthermore, the four corners of the support frame are provided with extension plates, and the extension plates are provided with vertical fixing posts for insertion and fixing to the ground.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer cylinder is made of a transparent material, and scale lines are provided along its length.

[0018] Furthermore, the top of the transparent shell is open and covered by a sealing cap, and a rubber deformation block is provided between the sealing cap and the observation plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the rod is fixedly connected to the base by expansion bolts.

[0020] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0021] A method for using an automated settlement monitoring system for beam storage platforms in a beam yard, applicable to the automated settlement monitoring system for beam storage platforms in a beam yard described in the above scheme, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0022] S1: First, place the support frame spacer outside the pedestal and fix it horizontally on the ground;

[0023] S2: Install lifting units on the support frame and at the four corners of the platform. Fix one end of the lifting unit's rod to the piston rod and the other end to the platform.

[0024] S3: Install the transparent shell on the pedestal and connect the chamber of the transparent shell and the corresponding outer cylinder through four connecting pipes;

[0025] S4: By observing whether the observation plates in the four chambers of the transparent shell are on the same plane or after the alarm unit issues an alarm signal, it can be determined that there is settlement on the pedestal.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. This invention achieves precise monitoring of platform settlement by installing lifting units at the four corners of the support frame and spacing the support frame from the platform. Due to the spacing between the support frame and the platform, platform settlement does not affect the stability of the support frame, thus ensuring the accuracy of the monitoring process. During platform settlement, rods fixed at the four corners of the platform drive piston rods downwards, thereby promoting the flow of liquid medium and causing the four observation plates to move synchronously. Since all four observation plates are located within the same transparent shell, construction personnel can observe the changes in these plates to monitor the settlement at the four corners of the platform in real time. Simultaneously, an alarm unit will issue an alarm signal upon detecting settlement, alerting construction personnel and further enhancing the timeliness and reliability of settlement monitoring. This design not only facilitates precise monitoring of platform settlement but also allows for subsequent corrections and adjustments to the platform, ensuring the stability and safety of bridge construction.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0039] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0040] Example

[0041] The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides further details. Figures 1-8 As shown, this invention is an automated settlement monitoring system for beam storage platforms in beam yards, comprising a support unit 1, a lifting unit 2, an observation unit 3, and an alarm unit 4, wherein:

[0042] The support unit 1 includes a support frame 11, which is spaced apart outside the platform 6 and horizontally fixed to the ground to ensure the stability of the support frame 11 and prevent unnecessary changes caused by the settlement of the platform 6. This structural design effectively improves the system's anti-interference capability and monitoring accuracy.

[0043] Four lifting units 2 are installed at the four corners of the platform 6. Each lifting unit 2 includes an outer cylinder 21, a piston rod 22, and a rod body 23. The outer cylinder 21 is vertically mounted on the support frame 11. The piston rod 22 is slidably inserted into the outer cylinder 21. The outer cylinder 21 and the piston rod 22 must be sealed. The outer cylinder 21 is filled with liquid medium 211. The piston rod 22 is used to push the liquid medium 211 to move. One end of the rod body 23 is fixedly connected to the piston rod 22, and the other end is fixedly connected to the platform 6. When the platform 6 settles, the piston rod 22 pushes the liquid medium 211 to move, thereby causing the liquid medium 211 in the connected observation unit 3 to flow, thus realizing the detection of settlement.

[0044] The observation unit 3 includes a transparent shell 31, which is square and divided into four equal chambers 311. Each chamber 311 is filled with a liquid medium 211. Each chamber 311 corresponds to a lifting unit 2 and is connected to the outer cylinder 21 via a corresponding connecting pipe 33, allowing the liquid medium 211 to flow from the outer cylinder 21 into the corresponding chamber 311. Four observation plates 32 are installed and slidably mounted within the chambers 311. The observation plates 32 need to maintain a sealed sliding contact with the chambers 311. To ensure this sealing, sealing rings can be installed around the observation plates 32. When the four observation plates 32 are in their initial position (i.e., when the platform 6 has just been poured), the platform 6 is horizontal, and the four observation plates 32 are on the same plane.

[0045] The alarm unit 4 is connected to the observation unit 3 and is used to issue an alarm signal when the four observation plates 32 are not on the same plane.

[0046] It should be noted that, in order to accurately monitor the settlement of the beam storage platform 6 in the beam yard, the automated settlement monitoring system needs to be installed on both sides of the platform 6 of the precast beam 61. To facilitate synchronous monitoring and observation, the transparent shell 31 of the observation unit 3 can be installed in the same position to ensure that the monitoring data of the two platforms 6 can be synchronized and effectively compared.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a ball seat 111 is fixedly welded to the support frame 11, and the outer cylinder 21 is spherically hinged onto the ball seat 111. Both the outer cylinder 21 and the ball seat 111 are fixedly fitted with pipe clamps 5. Each pipe clamp 5 consists of two arc-shaped plates connected together with bolts. Multiple deformable rods 51 are evenly arranged between the two pipe clamps 5 and along the circumference of the outer cylinder 21. Specifically, the two ends of each deformable rod 51 are fixedly welded to the two pipe clamps 5, and the middle of each deformable rod 51 has a deformation section 511 arranged in a spiral shape. The main purpose of this design is to cope with possible tilting and settlement of the platform 6. Normally, the platform 6 settles vertically, but sometimes tilting settlement occurs. In this case, because the ball seat 111 of the support frame 11 is connected to the outer cylinder 21 by a ball hinge, the outer cylinder 21 can exhibit a large range of displacement, avoiding damage to the outer cylinder 21 caused by settlement and ensuring normal monitoring.

[0048] Through the ball joint structure, the outer cylinder 21 can flexibly respond to the settlement mode of the platform 6, effectively adjusting its position whether it is vertical or tilted settlement, ensuring stable system operation. Simultaneously, the multiple deformable rods 51 ensure that the outer cylinder 21 remains vertical in its initial state, and when the platform 6 tilts and settles, the helical deformation portion 511 of the deformable rods 51 deforms, allowing construction personnel to determine whether there is a problem with the platform 6 tilting and settling based on the change in helical deformation. This design not only improves the accuracy of monitoring but also facilitates observation and adjustment by construction personnel.

[0049] To further enhance the stability of monitoring and deformation control, the deformable rod 51 has thickened portions 512 at both ends. The thickened portions 512 are connected to the deformable portion 511, and their stiffness is greater than that of the deformable portion 511. The stiffness design of the thickened portions 512 ensures that the deformation of the deformable rod 51 mainly occurs in the helical portion of the deformable portion 511, and not at the thickened portions 512, thereby effectively controlling the range of deformation and ensuring that the deformable portion 511 can undergo a predetermined deformation within a specific range. This allows construction personnel to easily observe the tilt between the outer cylinder 21 and the platform 6, and make timely corrections or adjustments.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, alarm units 4 correspond one-to-one with four chambers 311, and each chamber 311 is equipped with a corresponding alarm unit 4. Each alarm unit 4 includes a push-button switch 41, an alarm light 42, and a buzzer 43. The button 411 of the push-button switch 41 slides through the transparent housing 31 and abuts against the observation plate 32. To ensure the sealing of the button 411 during operation, a rubber ring 412 is provided between the button 411 and the transparent housing 31. This effectively prevents leakage of liquid medium 211 or the entry of external substances, ensuring the normal operation of the system. The sealing design of the rubber ring 412 not only improves the system's protection capability but also ensures the smooth operation of the push-button switch 41.

[0051] When the platform 6 settles, causing a change in the liquid medium 211 within the chamber 311, the movement of the liquid medium 211 will displace the observation plate 32, causing the button 411 to pop out instead of contacting the observation plate 32, thus triggering the alarm system. The push-button switch 41 is connected to the alarm light 42 and buzzer 43 via wires, controlling their activation. This automatically activates the alarm light 42 and buzzer 43, emitting clear visual and audible signals to alert construction personnel to the settlement situation.

[0052] To ensure the normal operation of alarm unit 4, push-button switch 41, alarm light 42, and buzzer 43 are connected to a power source to provide continuous power support for the system. This detail will not be elaborated further in the technical description, but it is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of the power connection to prevent alarm system failure due to power supply issues. This structure allows construction personnel to promptly detect settlement problems on pedestal 6, improving safety and monitoring efficiency during construction.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, the liquid medium 211 in each of the four chambers 311 is a different color medium to facilitate real-time observation and differentiation by construction personnel during use. These different colors of the liquid medium 211 effectively help construction personnel identify the status of each chamber 311 during monitoring, especially when the platform 6 settles, providing a more intuitive reflection of changes in the liquid medium 211. For example, the liquid medium 211 in the four chambers 311 can be red, blue, green, and yellow, respectively. This allows construction personnel to easily identify the status of the liquid medium 211 in each chamber 311 when inspecting the transparent shell 31.

[0054] The color change of liquid medium 211 is closely related to the magnitude and direction of the settlement of platform 6. When platform 6 settles, the liquid medium 211 in each chamber 311 will move to varying degrees according to the change in the amount of settlement. Since the medium in each chamber 311 is of a different color, construction personnel can quickly determine the settlement state of platform 6 by observing the flow of liquid medium 211 of different colors. The combination of liquid medium 211 of different colors effectively avoids confusion due to similar colors, improving the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, extension plates 112 are provided at the four corners of the support frame 11, and vertical fixing posts 113 are provided on the extension plates 112 for insertion and fixing to the ground. The design of the extension plates 112 is to increase the support area of ​​the support frame 11 and enhance the overall stability. When the pedestal 6 settles, the extension plates 112 can effectively prevent the settlement of the support frame 11 from affecting it, thereby ensuring the accuracy of settlement monitoring.

[0056] Specifically, the extension plate 112 connects to the four corners of the support frame 11 and extends to the outside of the support frame 11, increasing the contact area and stability of the support frame 11. Vertically mounted fixing columns 113 on the extension plate 112 securely fix the support frame 11 to the ground via a plug-in connection, ensuring that the support frame 11 is not affected by the settlement of the pedestal 6 and will not shift or become unstable. In the event of settlement of the pedestal 6, the fixing columns 113 will provide additional stable support, preventing the settlement of the support frame 11 from interfering with the monitoring process.

[0057] Furthermore, the design of the extension plate 112 can disperse the local pressure caused by the settlement of the pedestal 6, preventing uneven stress distribution on the support frame 11 due to local settlement of the pedestal 6. Through the cooperation of the extension plate 112 and the fixed column 113, the support frame 11 always maintains a stable position, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring system. In this way, even if the pedestal 6 settles, the support frame 11 can still provide stable support, ensuring accurate monitoring of the liquid medium 211 and the observation plate 32, while avoiding interference with the entire system, thus providing effective support for subsequent correction of the pedestal 6 settlement.

[0058] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the outer cylinder 21 is made of transparent material. This transparency allows construction personnel to directly observe the flow of the liquid medium 211 and the movement of the piston. The outer cylinder 21 has graduations 212 along its length, facilitating easy observation of the piston's movement. The graduations 212 provide a precise reference, helping construction personnel assess the settlement of the platform 6. The transparent outer cylinder 21 and clear graduations 212 make monitoring more convenient and accurate, allowing construction personnel to make timely adjustments and avoid the impact of settlement.

[0059] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the top of the transparent housing 31 is open, and this opening is sealed by a sealing cap 312. The sealing cap 312 is fixed to the top of the transparent housing 31 with bolts, ensuring the stability and airtightness of the structure. A rubber deformation block 313 is installed between the sealing cap 312 and the observation plate 32. The rubber deformation block 313 serves a positioning function, ensuring that the observation plate 32 maintains the correct position during installation. When the liquid medium 211 is pressed into the chamber 311, the rubber deformation block 313 can deform, thereby ensuring that the observation plate 32 can move smoothly without interference. This design not only effectively avoids the possible impact of the liquid medium 211 on the observation plate 32 during entry, but also improves the flexibility of the observation plate 32 and ensures the reliability of the monitoring data.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rod 23 is fixedly connected to the base 6 by expansion bolts 231. This fixing method ensures a stable and secure connection between the rod 23 and the base 6. The use of expansion bolts 231 effectively avoids loosening problems caused by vibration or settlement, further improving the stability and monitoring accuracy of the device. Through this structure, the entire system can maintain stable operation even when the base 6 settles, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the monitoring process.

[0061] Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention are implemented through the following technical solutions:
