Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bridge construction, and particularly to a settlement measurement system and method for offshore underwater bridge piers. Background Art

[0002] The offshore high-speed rail underwater bridge piers are grand in scale, spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of meters across the water surface. The underwater bridge piers are far from the coast and numerous in number. During the construction of high-speed railways, it is required to conduct multiple settlement observations on each bridge pier for up to half a year to evaluate the stability of the bridge piers. At the same time, during the construction, the construction of the bridge piers is often completed in segments due to the influence of construction progress, geological conditions, construction environment, etc., and the settlement measurement workload is huge.

[0003] In related technologies, generally, the settlement of bridge piers is measured by manual leveling method, and the settlement of each bridge pier is measured one by one in sequence. It is necessary to manually go up and down the bridge pier repeatedly for measurement. However, due to cost control requirements for offshore high-speed rail underwater bridge piers, after the construction of each bridge pier is completed, the construction platform is reused to other bridge piers to be constructed, making it difficult for settlement measurement personnel to go up and down the bridge piers, and the measurement efficiency is extremely low. Therefore, the manual leveling method is not suitable for the settlement measurement of offshore high-speed rail underwater bridge piers. In related technologies, there is also a measurement method of using "GNSS station pier + total station measuring point pier" manually for the absolute settlement of long offshore bridges, that is, using manual GNSS to measure the elevations of several station piers, and then using a total station to conduct single total station differential trigonometric leveling measurement on the measuring point piers to obtain their settlements. This measurement method, first, for single total station differential trigonometric leveling measurement, as the length of the measurement line of sight increases, the accuracy decreases rapidly, and it is impossible to ensure the accuracy requirements for the settlement measurement of high-speed rail bridge piers. Second, for the measurement of "GNSS station pier + total station measuring point pier" manually, it is necessary to repeatedly go up and down the bridge pier for measurement, and the measurement efficiency is low. It can be seen that the related technologies have defects of being inapplicable to the settlement measurement of offshore high-speed rail underwater bridge piers, low measurement accuracy, and low efficiency.

Specific implementation manners

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application provides a cross-sea underwater bridge pier settlement measurement system and method to solve the problem in the related art that in single total station differential trigonometric leveling, as the measurement line-of-sight length increases, the accuracy decreases sharply, and it is impossible to ensure the measurement accuracy requirements when the number of underwater piers of a cross-sea high-speed railway bridge is extremely large.

[0064] In the first aspect, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a cross-sea underwater bridge pier settlement measurement system is first proposed for the above problems, which includes:

[0065] An unmanned aerial vehicle 1, with a first magnetic attraction device 2 and a first camera 3 connected to its bottom;

[0066] An airborne electronic level device, which includes a first steel tray 4 and a level adjustment component 5 fixedly connected up and down. A second camera 6 is provided on the level adjustment component 5; the bottom of the level adjustment component 5 is connected to a second magnetic attraction device 8 through a rotation adjustment component 7;

[0067] A central controller, which is used to control the magnetic attraction connection between the first magnetic attraction device 2 and the first steel tray 4, and is used to control the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 to carry the airborne electronic level device to the metal measurement platform 9 of the corresponding pier in sequence according to odd numbers, and then control the first camera 3, the level adjustment component 5 and the second magnetic attraction device 8 to assist in alignment and leveling; control the level adjustment component 5, the second camera 6, and the rotation adjustment component 7 to conduct observations.

[0068] Before and during the settlement observation, the central controller controls the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 to carry the airborne electronic level device to the metal measurement platform 9 of the corresponding pier in sequence according to odd numbers through the above system, and then controls the first camera 3, the level adjustment component 5 and the second magnetic attraction device 8 to assist in alignment and leveling; controls the level adjustment component 5, the second camera 6, and the rotation adjustment component 7 to conduct observations; thereby obtaining the initial adjusted elevation and the observed adjusted elevation of each pier; respectively comparing the difference between the observed adjusted elevation and the initial adjusted elevation of each pier to obtain the settlement value of each pier; during the observation process, only the airborne electronic level device needs to be placed on the odd-numbered piers, and it is not necessary to place it on each pier for observation, saving the observation steps; in addition, each time an odd-numbered pier corresponds to observing the adjacent piers before and after it, solving the problems that traditional settlement measurement of underwater piers requires manual repeated up and down of underwater piers of cross-sea high-speed railway bridges, and it is difficult to ensure the measurement accuracy due to a large number of piers.

[0069] In addition, each time an odd-numbered pier corresponds to observing the adjacent piers before and after it. This sentence can be understood as: the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 measures the odd-numbered piers in sequence. Taking the elevation of the previous pier as a reference, through the back sight level reading and the forward sight level reading, the elevations of the current odd-numbered pier and the next even-numbered pier are deduced.

[0070] In some preferred embodiments, the above device is described in detail:

On the first electronic level 501 and directly below the telescope 503, there is a second camera 6. The second camera 6 is used to assist the first electronic level 501 in aiming and automatically focusing on the pier bar code sticker through the central processor.

A disk gear 701 is fixedly connected concentrically on the rotating shaft 700. The disk gear 701 meshes with a driving rod 702, and the bottom of the driving rod 702 is connected to a numerical control motor 703. The numerical control motor 703 can be used to rotate the level adjustment assembly 5 for front and back readings.

[0074] The second magnetic attraction device 8 includes a second electric control suction disk 800 fixedly connected to the numerical control motor 703. A second electric control switch 801 signal - connected to the central controller is provided on the second electric control suction disk 800. The second electric control switch 801 controls the magnetic attraction of the second electric control suction disk.

[0075] The first camera 3 is used to observe the alignment situation between the airborne electronic level device and the metal measurement platform 9, that is, the alignment situation between the second magnetic attraction device 8 and the metal measurement platform 9, and the alignment situation of the first steel tray 4 of the first magnetic attraction device 2.

The two airborne Beidou receiver devices 10 are respectively transported to the metal measurement platforms 9 of the starting pier and the terminal pier by the unmanned aerial vehicle 1.

[0077] The airborne Beidou receiver device 10 includes a third electrically controlled suction disk 1000, on which there is a third electrically controlled switch 1001 and a second numerically controlled leveler 1002; on the top of the second numerically controlled leveler 1002, there are a pier Beidou receiver 1004 and two second steel trays 1003. The pier Beidou receiver 1004 has a second electronic level; the second steel trays 1003 are distributed on both sides of the pier Beidou receiver 1004 in the longitudinal direction of the bridge; the first camera 3 is also used to observe the alignment of the first magnetic attraction device 2 with the two second steel trays 1003; the Beidou receiver cooperates with the onshore Beidou receivers arranged at the known control points on both banks, and the onshore Beidou receivers and the two airborne Beidou receiver devices 10 cooperate with each other to obtain the known elevations of the starting pier N and the terminal pier. The specific steps for this acquisition are common steps and are well-known to those skilled in the art, so there is no need to elaborate further here.

[0086] In some preferred embodiments, the steps of obtaining the initial adjusted elevation and the steps of obtaining the observed adjusted elevation are the same; the steps of obtaining the initial adjusted elevation specifically include the following steps:

[0087] S11. Use the central controller to control the drone 1 to fly above the on-board electronic level device; control the movement of the drone 1 by checking the alignment situation with the first camera 3 to align the first magnetic attraction device 2 and the first steel tray 4, and after alignment, make the first magnetic attraction device 2 and the first steel tray 4 magnetically attracted; control the drone 1 to successively carry the on-board electronic level device on the metal measurement platforms 9 of the odd piers in ascending order of the numbers;

During the transportation process, use a group of observation information obtained from the metal measurement platform 9 of the first odd pier and the known initial elevation HN0 of the metal measurement platform 9 of the starting pier to calculate the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the current odd pier i,i=1 , and the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the even pier immediately following the current odd pier in the transportation direction i+1,i=1 ;

[0092] That is to say, the UAV measures the odd-numbered piers in sequence. Taking the elevation of the pier immediately preceding the current odd-numbered pier as the reference, the elevation of the current odd-numbered pier and the next even-numbered pier is deduced through the back sight reading and the forward sight reading until all target piers are covered.

[0093] Furthermore, the steps included in S12 for observing on the first odd-numbered pier and calculating the initial elevation of the first odd-numbered pier and the initial elevation of the first even-numbered pier are described in detail:

On the first electronic level 501, and directly below the telescope 503, there is a second camera 6;

[0095] Use a set of observation information obtained on the metal measurement platform 9 of the first odd-numbered pier and the known initial elevation HN0 of the metal measurement platform 9 of the starting pier to calculate the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the current odd-numbered pier i,i=1 , and the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the even-numbered pier immediately following the current odd-numbered pier in the transport direction i+1,i=1 , specifically including the following steps:

[0096] The central controller is used to control the magnetic connection between the second magnetic attraction device 8 and the top surface of the metal measurement platform 9;

[0098] Control the first numerical control leveler 502 to level, and record the first height value h1N from the bottom of the first numerical control leveler 502 to the center of the telescope 503 of the first electronic level 501 after leveling i,i=1 , and the second height value h2N from the bottom of the second magnetic attraction device 8 to the bottom of the first numerical control leveler 502 i,i=1 , and at the same time control the first electronic level 501 to read the backsight height reading h3N0 of the pier barcode sticker of the starting pier; the central controller controls the rotation adjustment assembly 7 to drive the level adjustment assembly 5 and the second camera 6 to rotate towards the first even pier adjacent to the starting pier, and controls the auxiliary level adjustment assembly 5 to aim at and autofocus on the pier barcode sticker of the first even pier adjacent to the starting pier during the rotation process; then control the first electronic level 501 to read the foresight height reading h3N of the pier barcode sticker of the first even pier adjacent to the starting pier i+1,i=1 , so as to obtain a set of observation information;

[0099] According to formula one HN i,i=1 = HN0 + h3N0 - h1N i,i=1 + h2N i,i=1 , calculate the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the current odd pier i,i=1;

[0100] According to formula two HN i+1,i=1 = HN0 + h3N0 - h3N i+1,i=1 , calculate the initial elevation of the metal measurement platform 9 of the even pier immediately following the current odd pier in the carrying direction.

[0101] Furthermore, step S13 includes a detailed description of the steps of observing on the second odd pier, calculating the initial elevation of the second odd pier, and the initial elevation of the second even pier:

[0102] Using a set of observation information obtained from the metal measurement platform 9 of the second odd pier and the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the even pier immediately preceding the current odd pier in the carrying direction i-1,i=3 , calculate the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the current odd pier i,i=3, and the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the even pier immediately following the current odd pier in the carrying direction i+1,i=3 , specifically including the following steps:

[0103] Use the central controller to control the second magnetic attraction device 8 to magnetically connect with the top surface of the metal measurement platform 9;

[0104] The central controller controls the rotation adjustment component 7 to drive the level adjustment component 5 and the second camera 6 to rotate towards the even pier immediately preceding the previous odd pier; during the rotation, control the auxiliary level adjustment component 5 to aim at and autofocus on the pier barcode sticker of the even pier immediately preceding the previous odd pier;

[0105] Control the first numerical control leveler 502 to level, and record the first height value h1N from the bottom of the first numerical control leveler 502 to the center of the telescope 503 of the first electronic level 501 after leveling i,i=3 , and the second height value h2N from the bottom of the second magnetic attraction device 8 to the bottom of the first numerical control leveler 502 i,i=3 , and at the same time control the first electronic level 501 to read the back sight height reading h3N of the pier barcode sticker of the even pier immediately preceding the previous odd pier i-1,i=3 ; The central controller controls the rotation adjustment component 7 to drive the level adjustment component 5 and the second camera 6 to rotate towards the even pier immediately following the current odd pier, and during the rotation, control the auxiliary level adjustment component 5 to aim at and autofocus on the pier barcode sticker of the even pier immediately following the current odd pier; then control the first electronic level 501 to read the front sight height reading h3N of the pier barcode sticker of the even pier immediately following the current odd pier i+1,i=3 , to obtain a set of observation information;

[0106] According to formula three HN i,i=3 = HN i-1,i=3 + h3N i-1,i=3 - h1N i,i=3 + h2N i,i=3 , calculate the initial elevation HN of the metal measurement platform 9 of the current odd pier i,i=3;

[0108] If the above pier N m belongs to an even pier, pier N mThe initial elevation is obtained according to Formula 4, but note that at this time i=m ;

[0109] If the terminal pier N m belongs to an odd pier, the initial elevation of pier N m is obtained according to Formula 3, but note that at this time i=m .

[0110] The steps for obtaining the initial elevations of the above-mentioned target piers can be understood as follows:

[0111] For the initial elevations of the second pier N2 and other subsequent even piers, the airborne electronic level device measures and calculates them using the leveling method. That is, the airborne electronic level device set up on the metal measuring platform 9 of the first pier N1 takes the reading of the pier bar code sticker of the starting pier N0 as the backsight. According to the known initial elevation of the top surface of the metal measuring platform 9 of the starting pier N0, plus the reading of the pier bar code sticker of the starting pier N0 as the backsight, the backsight line of sight height of the first electronic level is obtained. Rotate the instrument to take the front sight of the pier bar code sticker of the second pier N2 and read the reading of the pier bar code sticker of the second pier N2. Use it to determine the backsight line of sight height of the first electronic level; then subtract the reading of the bar code sticker of the second pier N2 to obtain the initial elevation of the top surface of the metal measuring platform 9 of the second pier N2; then the airborne electronic level device set up on the metal measuring platform 9 of the third pier N3 takes the reading of the pier bar code sticker of the second pier N2 as the backsight. According to the initial elevation already obtained of the metal measuring 9 of the second pier N2, plus the reading of the pier bar code sticker of the second pier N2 as the backsight, the backsight line of sight height of the first electronic level is obtained. Rotate the instrument to take the front sight of the pier bar code sticker of the fourth pier N4 and read the reading of the pier bar code sticker of the fourth pier N4; use the backsight line of sight height of the first electronic level to subtract the reading of the pier bar code sticker of the fourth pier N4 to obtain the initial elevation of the top surface of the metal measuring platform 9 of the fourth pier N4; then set up at other odd piers in turn, take the even piers as the backsight in sequence, and obtain the initial elevations of the top surfaces of other even measuring platforms.

[0112] Furthermore, to explain step S15, based on the initial elevations corresponding to the starting pier and the terminal pier, and the initial elevations of each target pier, calculate the initial adjusted elevations of each target pier, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0113] Calculate the elevation closure difference between the known elevation corresponding to the terminal pier and the known elevation corresponding to the starting pier;

[0114] Average the elevation closure difference and distribute it to the initial elevations corresponding to each target pier to obtain the initial adjusted elevations of each target pier.

[0115] In some preferred embodiments, the steps of obtaining the known initial elevations of the new observations of the metal measurement platforms 9 of the starting pier and the ending pier are the same as the steps of obtaining the known initial elevations of the metal measurement platforms 9 of the starting pier and the ending pier, which will be explained below and specifically include the following steps:

[0116] The cross-sea underwater pier settlement measurement system further includes an onshore Beidou receiver and two airborne Beidou receiver devices 10; the two airborne Beidou receiver devices 10 are respectively carried to the metal measurement platforms 9 of the starting pier and the ending pier by the unmanned aerial vehicle 1; the airborne Beidou receiver device 10 includes a third electric control suction disk 1000, and a third electric control switch 1001 and a second numerical control leveler 1002 are arranged on the third electric control suction disk 1000; a pier Beidou receiver 1004 and two second steel trays 1003 are arranged on the top of the second numerical control leveler 1002, the pier Beidou receiver 1004 has a second electronic level, and the second steel trays 1003 are distributed on both sides of the pier Beidou receiver 1004 in the longitudinal direction of the bridge pier;

[0117] To obtain the known initial elevations of the metal measurement platforms 9 of the starting pier and the ending pier, it specifically includes the following steps:

[0118] Use the central controller to control the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic attraction device 2 and the second steel tray 1003; then carry the two airborne Beidou receiver devices 10 to the metal measurement platforms 9 of the starting pier and the ending pier respectively, and observe the alignment situation between the third electric control suction disk 1000 and the metal measurement platform 9 through the first camera 3; after the alignment is completed, use the third electric control switch 1001 to magnetically connect the third electric control suction disk 1000 to the metal measurement platform 9, and then use the central controller to control the separation of the first magnetic attraction device 2 and the second steel tray 1003;

[0119] Use the central controller to control the second numerical control levelers 1002 of the two airborne Beidou receiver devices 10 to level, and then use the second electronic level to record the height value HN from the bottom of the second numerical control leveler 1002 on the starting pier and the ending pier to the antenna center of the pier Beidou receiver 1004 0,0 and HN m+1,0 ; then use the two pier Beidou receivers 1004 and the onshore Beidou receiver to synchronously measure to obtain the antenna center elevation HN 0,1 and HN m+1,1 of the pier Beidou receiver 1004 on the top surface of the metal measurement platforms 9 of the starting pier and the ending pier, as well as the height HN 0,2 and HN m+1,2 of the two third electric control suction disks 1000 on the starting pier and the ending pier;

[0120] According to formula five HN0 = HN 0,1 -HN 0,0-HN 0,2 , calculate the initial elevation HN0 of the starting pier;

[0121] According to formula six HN m+1 = HN m+1,1 -HN m+1,0 -HN m+1,2 , calculate the initial elevation HN m+1 of the terminal pier.

[0122] In some preferred embodiments, in the case where the known initial elevation of the top surface of the metal measurement platform 9 of the starting pier N0 and the terminal pier N m+1 at both ends is not obtained and their newly observed known observation elevations, it is possible to assume the known initial elevation of the top surface of the metal measurement platform 9 of the starting pier N0 and the terminal pier N m+1 . The specific steps are as follows:

[0123] When the known initial elevations of the metal measurement platforms 9 of the starting pier and the terminal pier before and during the settlement observation are the first assumed value and the second assumed value, multiple observations are carried out during the settlement observation. Then, the steps of calculating the difference between the observed adjusted elevation and the initial adjusted elevation of each target pier, calculating the difference between the known initial elevation and the newly observed known observation elevation of the starting pier and the terminal pier, and finally obtaining the settlement value of each pier are replaced by:

[0124] For each observation period, calculate the difference between the observed adjusted elevation and the initial adjusted elevation of each target pier to obtain the relative settlement value of each target pier in each observation period;

[0125] Calculate the average value of the relative settlement values of each target pier after multiple observations, and then calculate the deviation between the average values of the relative settlement values of each target pier;

[0126] When the deviation between the average values of the relative settlement values of each target pier is less than the set value of the national settlement measurement specification, based on the average value of the relative settlement values of each target pier after multiple observations, evaluate the stability of the pier settlement value; for the target pier with a relative settlement value greater than the average value of its corresponding relative settlement value, increase the settlement observation frequency for settlement measurement until the relative settlement value corresponding to the target pier is continuously less than the average value of its corresponding relative settlement value.

[0127] Advantages of the present application:

[0128] (1) The present application makes full use of the cross-sea bridge pier settlement measurement system to observe the settlement value of the cross-sea high-speed rail bridge piers in water, solves the problem of the traditional settlement measurement of piers in water that requires manual repeated up and down measurement operations on a large number of piers in the cross-sea high-speed rail, and has high observation efficiency and low safety risk.

[0129] (2) This application uses an airborne electronic level device to optimize the leveling measurement method as "measuring the height of the even-numbered bridge piers by themselves + leveling measurement of the odd-numbered bridge piers", quickly and precisely obtaining the leveling height difference between each bridge pier, greatly improving the settlement measurement accuracy. The relative settlement values of each bridge pier can be obtained preferentially based on the leveling height difference between each bridge pier, which is conducive to the assessment of the settlement stability of the underwater bridge piers of the cross-sea high-speed railway. Assisting the elevation measurement of the Beidou receiver, the absolute settlement amount of the bridge pier can be obtained.

[0130] (3) This application uses a settlement measurement method of "leveling measurement + Beidou receiver". Compared with the related technology of "GNSS station pier + total station measurement pier", it is not restricted by the sight distance of the total station trigonometric leveling measurement. It is applicable to the overall integrated settlement measurement of all underwater piers of a cross-sea high-speed railway bridge dozens of kilometers long, without the need to measure each section of the overall bridge segment by segment. It is also applicable to the settlement measurement of each pier within each local underwater pier section, including sections several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers long, after the construction of each local underwater pier section, including sections several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers long, is completed.

[0131] (4) This application uses an airborne measurement device to achieve less manpower operation and unmanned on-site measurement operations. Without the need for manual contact with the measurement platform of the bridge pier, the settlement measurement can be completed, meeting the requirements of the settlement measurement of the underwater bridge piers of the cross-sea high-speed railway.
