Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geotechnical engineering detection, and specifically to a signal acquisition and processing unit for detecting the stability of soil slopes. Background Art

[0002] In the field of geotechnical engineering, the detection of soil slope stability is of great importance. Traditional methods for detecting soil slopes, such as manual inspections and detections using simple measuring tools, have many drawbacks. Manual inspections are greatly affected by subjective factors, with low detection accuracy and difficulty in discovering potential subtle geological changes. Simple measuring tools cannot accurately measure the parameters of different depths of strata inside the slope, and cannot obtain and analyze data in real time. With the development of technology, although some advanced detection technologies have emerged, most of them have problems such as complex equipment, inconvenient installation, and high costs, making it difficult to be widely applied in actual projects. Currently, there is an urgent need in the market for a signal acquisition and processing unit for detecting the stability of soil slopes that is simple in structure, convenient to install, accurate in detection, and controllable in cost to meet the growing demand for geotechnical engineering safety detection. Therefore, a signal acquisition and processing unit for detecting the stability of soil slopes is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a signal acquisition and processing unit for detecting the stability of soil slopes to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows: It includes a hollow cylindrical measuring unit body centered on the central axis Z-axis. The upper end of the measuring unit body has a central hollow channel and a spherical ball head on the outer surface centered on the central axis Z-axis. An internally threaded lock nut that can rotate around the central axis Z-axis but cannot fall off or separate from the spherical ball head on the outer surface is installed outside the spherical ball head on the outer surface. The lower end of the measuring unit body has a central hollow channel and a spherical concave surface on the inner surface centered on the central axis Z-axis. An external thread is provided on the outer surface of the spherical concave surface on the inner surface. The internally threaded lock nut installed outside the spherical ball head on the outer surface of the upper end of the measuring unit body can be engaged and locked with the external thread of the spherical concave surface on the inner surface of the lower end of another identical measuring unit body. This engagement and locking can make two adjacent hollow cylindrical measuring unit bodies connected end to end, and a certain angle can be freely formed between their respective central axes Z-axis.

[0005] Further preferably, a signal acquisition and processing unit module is installed in the middle section inside the measurement unit body. Circuit installation hollow areas are respectively formed above and below the signal acquisition and processing unit module in the measurement unit body. An upper drainage hole is provided on the bottom outer wall of the upper circuit installation hollow area of the measurement unit body. A ventilation hole is provided on the top outer wall of the lower circuit installation hollow area of the measurement unit body. An upper drainage hole is provided on the bottom outer wall of the lower circuit installation hollow area of the measurement unit body.

[0006] Further preferably, two micro-inclinometers are installed inside the signal acquisition and processing unit module. The two micro-inclinometers can respectively measure the inclinations of the central axis Z of the measurement unit body in two mutually perpendicular directions on the horizontal plane. An air relative humidity sensor is installed below the signal acquisition and processing unit module. A power supply circuit, a signal processing circuit, and a data transmission circuit for the two micro-inclinometers and the air relative humidity sensor are installed inside the signal acquisition and processing unit module.

[0007] Further preferably, a flexible spiral retractable waterproof cable is led out from the upper part of the signal acquisition and processing unit module and connected to an upper connector through a waterproof cable. A flexible spiral retractable waterproof cable is led out from the lower part of the signal acquisition and processing unit module and connected to a lower connector through a waterproof cable. The waterproof cable connected to the upper connector can freely extend out of the upper central hollow channel of the measurement unit body. The waterproof cable connected to the lower connector can freely extend out of the lower central hollow channel of the measurement unit body. The signal acquisition and processing unit module has a protection level design of above IP. The waterproof cable connected to the upper connector of one of the two connected measurement unit bodies can be connected to the waterproof cable connected to the lower connector of the other measurement unit body with a protection level of above IP54. The upper connector of the measurement unit body and the lower connector of another measurement unit body connected thereto form a power supply and data transmission channel for the relevant signal acquisition and processing unit module.

[0008] Due to the above technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of the present invention, the following advantages are achieved:

[0009] 1. By integrating a variety of high-precision sensors, the present invention can accurately measure the horizontal displacement and water content parameters of soil slopes at different depths, providing accurate data support for slope stability analysis, effectively improving the detection accuracy. The bendable design of the measurement unit enables it to adapt to the detection requirements of soil slopes with different shapes and terrains, and is flexible and convenient to install, and can be quickly installed and deployed in complex geological environments.

[0010] II. The fully enclosed waterproof and dustproof design of the core area of the present invention and the application of waterproof cable connection connectors ensure that the detection unit can still operate stably in harsh natural environments, reducing detection errors and equipment failures caused by environmental factors, and improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0011] III. The present invention can achieve real-time monitoring of soil slopes. Once potential geological hazards are detected, the unified signal acquisition processor can quickly send out alarm signals, providing sufficient time for relevant personnel to take measures and effectively ensuring the safety of people's lives and property.

[0012] IV. The present invention adopts a modular design. The measurement unit has a simple structure, and no complex technology and equipment are required during the installation process, which can greatly reduce the installation cost. At the same time, the construction cost of the overall detection system is relatively low, which is conducive to wide application in actual projects.
