[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. It is hereby declared that the directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside that appear or will appear in the text of the present invention are only based on the attached drawings of the present invention and do not specifically limit the present invention.
[0026] Embodiment: A bridge crack detection device, as Figures 1-3 shown, includes a fixed support frame 1, a mounting support plate 2, a wire winding disc 3, a central shaft 30, a steel wire rope 4, a processing control device 5, a driving clamping wheel 6, a camera scanning module 7, a driving assembly and a lifting assembly. The mounting support plates 2 are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the fixed support frame 1 by bolts. The central shaft 30 is rotatably connected to the mounting support plates 2. Two wire winding discs 3 are symmetrically connected to the central shaft 30 by keys. There are two fixed support frames 1. The wire rope 4 is commonly wound around the wire winding discs 3 provided on the two fixed support frames 1. The two wire ropes 4 are respectively connected to the wire winding discs 3 on both sides. When the two fixed support frames 1 move away from each other, the wire rope 4 can be pulled and lifted. The driving clamping wheel 6 is arranged at the bottom of the processing control device 5. The driving clamping wheel 6 rolls and clamps on the steel wire rope 4. The driving clamping wheel 6 is in close contact with the steel wire rope 4. By means of the driving clamping wheel 6, the processing control device 5 can move on the steel wire rope 4, and the moving direction follows the direction of the steel wire rope 4. The camera scanning module 7 is arranged on the processing control device 5. The camera scanning module 7 is electrically connected to the processing control device 5. The camera scanning module 7 is used to take pictures, scan and sample the bridge surface, analyze it, or transmit the image data to the operator of the ground background system. A driving assembly is installed on the processing control device 5 to drive the driving clamping wheel 6 to rotate. A lifting assembly for driving the fixed support frame 1 to rise and fall is arranged on the fixed support frame 1.
[0027] As Figure 4As shown, the driving assembly includes a first driving motor 70 and a pulley set 71. The first driving motor 70 is installed at the bottom of the processing control device 5. The first driving motor 70 and the transmission clamping wheel 6 are transmitted through the pulley set 71. The first driving motor 70 rotates the transmission clamping wheel 6 of the clamped wire rope 4 with the help of the pulley set 71, thereby allowing the processing control device 5 to move on the wire rope 4.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a counterweight stabilization box 81, a hydraulic push rod 82, a fixed connecting plate 83 and a moving roller 84. The hydraulic push rod 82 is installed in the counterweight stabilization box 81. A counterweight block is provided in the counterweight stabilization box 81 to increase the mass of the box body and ensure that the counterweight stabilization box 81 will not tilt when placed. The fixed connecting plate 83 is installed on the movable rod of the hydraulic push rod 82 by bolts. The fixed connecting plate 83 is fixedly connected to the fixed support frame 1 by bolts. The fixed support frame 1 is sleeved on the outside of the counterweight stabilization box 81. As the movable rod of the hydraulic push rod 82 extends upward, the fixed support frame 1 and all objects arranged on the fixed support frame 1 will be lifted together through the fixed connecting plate 83. A moving roller 84 is installed at the bottom of the counterweight stabilization box 81. The moving roller 84 can facilitate the movement of the counterweight stabilization box 81. When bridge crack detection is required, the braking device on the moving roller 84 can be used to brake to prevent displacement.
[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a limiting card. A limiting card is arranged on the counterweight stabilization box 81 for limiting the rotation of the central axis 30; the limiting card includes a guide slide bar 91 and an L-shaped card plate 92. The guide slide bar 91 is slidably penetrated on the counterweight stabilization box 81, and the guide slide bar 91 can slide laterally on the counterweight stabilization box 81. A spring is arranged between the guide slide bar 91 and the counterweight stabilization box 81. An L-shaped card plate 92 is welded at the end of the guide slide bar 91. A transverse groove is opened at the end of the central axis 30, and the L-shaped card plate 92 fits into the transverse groove. The spring arranged on the guide slide bar 91 is used to keep the L-shaped card plate 92 tightly stuck in the transverse groove, so as to prevent the winding drum 3 from rotating when the device is not in use, thereby causing the wire rope 4 wound on the winding drum 3 to become loose. After pulling the L-shaped card plate 92 out of the transverse groove, the winding drum 3 can rotate to release the wire rope 4.
[0030] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, it further includes a connecting component, and the connecting component is arranged on the fixed support frame 1; the connecting component includes a fixed contact plate 101, a zigzag connecting plate 102, an L-shaped plate 103, an extension plate 104 and a limiting column 105. The fixed contact plate 101 is welded on the fixed support frame 1. The fixed contact plates 101 on the two fixed support frames 1 are in contact with each other at the same height. The zigzag connecting plate 102 is welded on the fixed contact plate 101. The L-shaped plate 103 is welded at the bottom of the L-shaped clamping plate 92. The L-shaped plate 103 moves as the L-shaped clamping plate 92 is pulled. The extension plate 104 is welded on the L-shaped plate 103, and the extension plate 104 moves along with the L-shaped plate 103. The limiting column 105 is welded on the extension plate 104. A through hole is opened on the zigzag connecting plate 102. The limiting columns 105 provided on the two extension plates 104 are alternately buckled in the through hole on the zigzag connecting plate 102. After the two fixed support frames 1 are close to each other, the fixed contact plates 101 are in contact with each other. At this time, pulling the L-shaped clamping plate 92 drives the L-shaped plate 103, the extension plate 104 and the limiting column 105 to move, so that the limiting columns 105 are inserted into the through holes on the zigzag connecting plate 102 on the opposite side, thereby connecting the two fixed support frames 1 together to maintain stability, so as to keep the whole device stable when not in use and avoid shaking and tipping over.
[0031] As Figure 9 shown in the figure, it further includes a separating component, and the separating component is arranged on the fixed support frame 1; the separating component includes a sliding top plate 111 and a limiting ejecting plate 112. The sliding top plate 111 is slidably connected to the fixed support frame 1. A spring is provided between the sliding top plate 111 and the fixed support frame 1, and this spring is used to keep the sliding top plate 111 in a popped state. The sliding top plates 111 provided on the two fixed support frames 1 are at the same height. The limiting ejecting plate 112 is fixedly connected to the sliding top plate 111. The limiting ejecting plate 112 is in contact with the L-shaped plate 103. After the two fixed support frames 1 are connected and fixed together through the connecting component, it will also cause the two sliding top plates 111 to abut against each other and compress the spring. When the L-shaped clamping plate 92 is pulled out, it will contact the limiting ejecting plate 112, and the retraction and reset of the L-shaped clamping plate 92 will be restricted through the limiting ejecting plate 112. After the limiting column 105 disengages from the through hole on the zigzag connecting plate 102, the two abutting sliding top plates 111 will push the two fixed support frames 1 to separate from each other under the action of the spring.
[0032] As Figure 10As shown, it also includes a retractable component, which is arranged on the fixed support frame 1; the retractable component includes a second drive motor 121, a worm wheel 122 and a worm 123, the second drive motor 121 is fixedly installed on the fixed support frame 1 by bolts, the worm 123 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 121, the worm wheel 122 is fixedly connected to the middle shaft 30, the worm wheel 122 and the worm 123 are meshed, and with the forward / reverse rotation of the second drive motor 121, the middle shaft 30 can be driven by the worm wheel 122 and the worm 123 so that the middle shaft 30 rotates with the winding drum 3, thereby realizing the operation of retracting and releasing the wire rope 4.
[0033] A detection method of a bridge crack detection device specifically comprises the following steps: S1, pull the L-shaped card plate 92 to disengage it from the transverse groove on the central axis 30, and then drive the central axis 30 to rotate through the retractable assembly to extend and release the wire rope 4, and at the same time, the connection assembly will be separated and connected when the L-shaped card plate 92 is pulled. After the two fixed support frames 1 lose the fixation of the connection assembly, the separation assembly will push the two fixed support frames 1 to separate while the retractable assembly releases the wire rope 4; S2, adjust the position of the fixed support frame 1 so that the fixed support frame 1 is below the bridge area to be inspected, and the steel wire rope 4 can be stopped after being extended to the maximum width of the inspection area, brake the moving roller 84, adjust the predetermined parameters of the camera scanning module 7 and perform initialization settings; S3. Use the hydraulic push rod 82 in the lifting assembly to move the fixed support frame 1 and the steel wire rope 4 wound on the winding drum 3 and the camera scanning module 7 to the specified position, and then use the driving assembly on the processing control device 5 to drive the camera scanning module 7 to move along the fixed trajectory of the steel wire rope 4 to complete the scanning detection.
[0034] This embodiment includes the following effects: 1. The camera scanning module 7 is pulled by the steel wire rope 4 to move along the fixed track of the steel wire rope 4, and the height of the camera scanning module 7 is adjusted by the provided lifting component, and the camera scanning module 7 is moved along the fixed track under the action of the driving component, so that the bridge crack detection under complex conditions can be completed with simple operation. The detection operation mode of the device is simple, and it can also be adjusted according to the actual environment on site; 2. The retractable assembly can prevent the steel wire rope 4 from being continuously pulled out, and the steel wire rope 4 can be retracted and released as needed to ensure the stability of the camera scanning module 7.
[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
