[0018] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related invention, rather than limiting the invention. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0019] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a bridge crack measurement device, as Figure 1-10 shown, including: An outer sleeve 1, the outer sleeve 1 has a closed end and an open end along the axial direction; An image acquisition mechanism, located inside the outer sleeve 1, and the image acquisition mechanism can extend out of the open end of the outer sleeve 1 for acquiring bridge crack images; A purging mechanism 6, located inside the outer sleeve 1, the purging mechanism 6 includes: an elastic airbag 61, a plurality of connecting assemblies 64 and a plurality of shielding frames 65. Each shielding frame 65 is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes penetrating therethrough. The elastic airbag 61 is communicated with the plurality of connecting assemblies 64, and each connecting assembly 64 is correspondingly communicated with each shielding frame 65 for gas to flow to the shielding frame 65 and discharge from the exhaust holes; The plurality of shielding frames 65 are located on the lens side of the image acquisition mechanism and are arranged along the inner circumference of the outer sleeve 1. The plurality of shielding frames 65 include a first state and a second state. In the first state, the adjacent edges of two adjacent shielding frames 65 are in contact to form a shielding area on the lens side of the image acquisition mechanism; in the second state, each shielding frame 65 can rotate in the axial direction of the outer sleeve 1, and the adjacent edges of two adjacent shielding frames 65 are separated from each other to form an avoidance space for the image acquisition mechanism to extend out; A driving member, the driving member is respectively drivingly connected to the image acquisition mechanism and the purging mechanism 6.
[0020] It should be noted that the outer sleeve 1 serves as the support body of the entire bridge crack measurement device and can be used to support and install the image acquisition mechanism, the purging mechanism 6, the driving member, etc. Among them, the outer sleeve 1 can be, but is not limited to, cylindrical in shape.
[0021] Among them, the image acquisition mechanism can be, but is not limited to, various types of camera instruments as long as they can be used to capture images of cracks; the driving member can be, but is not limited to, various types of motors.
[0022] It can be understood that the purging mechanism 6 is used to purge the image acquisition mechanism and the crack to remove dust on the lens of the image acquisition mechanism and debris in the crack. Among them, the elastic airbag 61 is used to store gas, and the connecting component 64 is used to transport the gas inside the elastic airbag 61 to the shielding frame 65. On the one hand, the shielding frame 65 can be used to shield the image acquisition mechanism, and on the other hand, it can allow the gas to be discharged to purge the lens of the image acquisition mechanism and the crack.
[0023] Among them, there can be two or more shielding frames 65, and the number of connecting components 64 corresponds to the number of shielding frames 65, so that the gas can flow to each shielding frame 65; in the first state of the shielding frame 65, each shielding frame 65 is spliced along the circumferential direction of the outer sleeve 1 to form a shielding area, which is beneficial for the gas to be discharged from the exhaust hole to purge the lens of the image acquisition mechanism and the crack; in the second state of the shielding frame 65, the shielding frame 65 rotates in the axial direction of the outer sleeve 1 (i.e., the direction from the inside to the outside of the outer sleeve 1), so that the adjacent edges of the shielding frames 65 are separated from each other to form an avoidance space, enabling the image acquisition mechanism to extend from the avoidance space to the open end of the outer sleeve 1 to capture the crack.
[0024] The bridge crack measurement device according to the embodiments of the present application solves the problems that the existing measurement devices cannot clean the cracks and the lenses of the image acquisition mechanism. The bridge crack measurement device according to the embodiments of the present application is provided with a purging mechanism 6, and the purging mechanism 6 includes an elastic airbag 61, a connecting component 64 and a shielding frame 65. An exhaust hole is formed in the shielding frame 65; the image acquisition mechanism can extend out of the open end of the outer sleeve 1 for acquiring bridge crack patterns; wherein, when the shielding frame 65 is in the first state, the adjacent edges of two adjacent shielding frames 65 are in contact, so that a shielding area can be reliably formed on the lens of the image acquisition mechanism to protect the image acquisition mechanism. The gas in the elastic airbag 61 can flow to the exhaust hole and be discharged, realizing purging of the lens of the image acquisition mechanism and purging of the cracks, thereby effectively purging the sundries in the cracks and purging the dust adhering to the lens of the image acquisition mechanism, ensuring that the image acquisition mechanism can clearly capture the internal situation of the cracks, and improving the measurement accuracy and precision; when the shielding frame 65 is in the second state, the shielding frame 65 rotates so that the adjacent edges of two adjacent shielding frames 65 are separated from each other to form an avoidance space, which is beneficial for the image acquisition mechanism to extend out of the open end of the outer sleeve 1 and reliably capture the crack image.
[0025] As an implementable manner, as shown in Figure 5 , 9 and 10, each connecting component 64 includes: a ring frame 641, which is arranged along the inner circumference of the outer sleeve 1. The ring frame 641 includes a gas accommodation cavity, and the gas accommodation cavity is communicated with the elastic airbag 61; a folding pipe 643, which includes a first section and a second section that are at a predetermined angle and communicate with each other. The first section is communicated with the gas accommodation cavity, and the second section is located on the side of the ring frame 641 close to the shielding frame 65; a rotating sleeve 644, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the second section and communicates with the inside of the second section; a connecting pipe 645, one end of which is connected to the rotating sleeve 644 and communicates with the inside of the rotating sleeve 644, and the other end of the connecting pipe 645 is connected to each shielding frame 65 and communicates with the exhaust hole.
[0026] Among them, the ring frame 641 includes a gas accommodation chamber for the gas flow inside the elastic airbag 61; the corrugated pipe 643 is used to connect the ring frame 641 and the shielding frame 65, and the corrugated pipe 643, the rotating sleeve 644 and the connecting pipe 645 are used to communicate the ring frame 641 and the shielding frame 65, and the first section and the second section of the corrugated pipe 643 can be perpendicular to each other. The rotating sleeve 644 is rotationally matched with the second section of the corrugated pipe 643, and the connecting pipe 645 connects the rotating sleeve 644 and the shielding frame 65, so that the shielding frame 65 can rotate along the second section of the corrugated pipe 643 (the second section of the corrugated pipe 643 can be perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer sleeve 1), thereby realizing the axial rotation of the shielding frame 65 on the outer sleeve 1 to blow the lens and cracks of the image acquisition mechanism, and facilitating the image acquisition mechanism to extend out of the open end of the outer sleeve 1.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the communication component 64 further includes a reset member for driving the shielding frame 65 to rotate by the connecting pipe 645 and resetting to the first state after rotation.
[0028] Among them, the reset member can be but is not limited to a torsion spring, a scroll spring 646, etc. One end of the scroll spring 646 is connected to the second section of the corrugated pipe 643, and the other end is connected to the rotating sleeve 644.
[0029] It can be understood that the gas enters the interior of the shielding frame 65 through the ring frame 641, the corrugated pipe 643, the rotating sleeve 644 and the connecting pipe 645. During the process of the image acquisition mechanism extending out of the open end of the outer sleeve 1, it pushes the shielding frame 65, so that the shielding frame 65, the connecting pipe 645 and the rotating sleeve 644 rotate around the second section of the corrugated pipe 643. Under the action of the reset member, during the process of the image acquisition mechanism returning to the interior of the outer sleeve 1, the shielding frame 65 can return to the original position.
[0030] In this embodiment, the reset member can ensure the reliable rotation of the shielding frame 65, and at the same time enable the shielding frame 65 to reset to the first state after rotation, realizing the shielding of the image acquisition mechanism and the blowing of the image acquisition mechanism and the cracks.
[0031] As an implementable way, one end of the ring frame 641 is open, and the communication component 64 further includes: An air outlet pipe 63, which is communicated with the elastic airbag 61; The ring frame 641 includes a rotating ring plate 642, which is rotatably connected to the open end of the ring frame 641 and defines a gas accommodation chamber with the inner wall of the ring frame 641. The gas accommodation chamber is communicated with the air outlet pipe 63, and the first section of the corrugated pipe 643 penetrates through the rotating ring plate 642 and is fixedly connected to the rotating ring plate 642.
[0032] In this embodiment, the rotating ring plate 642 can drive the shielding frame 65 to rotate, which is beneficial to realizing the omnidirectional blowing of the image acquisition mechanism and the cracks.
[0033] As an implementable manner, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the measuring device further includes a rotating mechanism 66, and the rotating mechanism 66 includes: A rotating rod 662, one end in the length direction of the rotating rod 662 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the closed end of the outer sleeve 1, and the rotating rod 662 is drivingly connected to a driving member for rotating under the drive of the driving member; A gear 664, the gear 664 is installed on the rotating rod 662; A toothed ring 665, the toothed ring 665 is rotatably connected to the outer sleeve 1 and meshes with the gear 664; A rotating ring 666, the rotating ring 666 is rotatably connected to the outer sleeve 1, and the rotating ring 666 is connected to the rotating ring plate 642 for driving the rotating ring plate 642 to rotate; An extrusion rod 67, one end of the extrusion rod 67 is installed on the outer wall of the toothed ring 665, and the other end of the extrusion rod 67 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating ring 666 for extruding the elastic airbag 61 during rotation.
[0034] Among them, the rotating rod 662 is drivingly connected to the driving member through a transmission assembly 661. The transmission assembly 661 can be but is not limited to a belt, a gear transmission mechanism, etc.; the driving member drives the rotating rod 662 to rotate through the transmission assembly 661; the gear 664 and the rotating rod 662 are connected in any way, such as but not limited to key connection, etc. The rotation of the rotating rod 662 drives the gear 664 to rotate. The gear 664 meshes with the toothed ring 665 to drive the toothed ring 665 to rotate. An extrusion rod 67 is connected between the toothed ring 665 and the rotating ring 666, so as to drive the extrusion rod 67 and the rotating ring 666 to rotate. The extrusion rod 67 extrudes the elastic airbag 61 during rotation, and the gas flows to the ring frame 641 through the air outlet pipe 63. At the same time, the rotating ring 666 rotates, driving the rotating ring plate 642 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating ring plate 642 drives the shielding frame 65 to rotate under the connection of the folding pipe 643, and the gas enters the shielding frame 65 through the folding pipe 643 and is discharged from the exhaust hole to realize the purging of the crack and the lens of the image acquisition mechanism.
[0035] As an implementable manner, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the measuring device further includes a lifting mechanism 5, and the lifting mechanism 5 includes: A limiting rod 51, installed inside the outer sleeve 1 and extending along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 1; A mounting plate 52, slidably connected to the limiting rod 51, and the image acquisition mechanism is installed on the mounting plate 52; The ejection assembly 54 is located on one side of the mounting plate 52, and the ejection assembly 54 is drivingly connected to the driving member. The ejection assembly 54 is used to move towards or away from the mounting plate 52 under the drive of the driving member. When the ejection assembly 54 moves to a state of abutting against the mounting plate 52, the ejection assembly 54 drives the mounting plate 52 to move along the extending direction of the limiting rod 51.
[0036] It can be understood that the lifting mechanism 5 is mainly used to drive the image acquisition mechanism to move, so that the image acquisition mechanism can move between the inside and the outside of the outer sleeve 1, thereby acquiring images of cracks.
[0037] Among them, the limiting rod 51 has a good guiding function. The mounting plate 52 is used to carry and mount the image acquisition mechanism. The mounting plate 52 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 51, which is beneficial for the mounting plate 52 to drive the image acquisition mechanism to move along the extending direction of the limiting rod 51. The ejection assembly 54 is mainly used to transmit power. Under the drive of the driving member, the ejection assembly 54 first moves towards the mounting plate 52 until the ejection assembly 54 moves to a state of abutting against the mounting plate 52. Then, the driving member drives the ejection assembly 54 to continue moving, and the ejection assembly 54 drives the mounting plate 52 to move along the extending direction of the limiting rod 51, so that the image acquisition mechanism can extend out of the open end of the outer sleeve 1.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting rod 51 includes at least two, and the at least two limiting rods 51 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the outer sleeve 1. The lifting mechanism 5 further includes an elastic member 53. One end of the elastic member 53 in the direction of elastic deformation is connected to the mounting plate 52, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 1.
[0039] Among them, the limiting rod 51 can be two, three or more than three. The at least two limiting rods 51 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the outer sleeve 1, which is beneficial for stable guiding and ensuring the stable movement of the image acquisition mechanism. It can be understood that the elastic member 53 can be, but is not limited to, a spring or rubber, etc. The elastic member 53 is mainly used to provide elastic buffering to ensure that the mounting plate 52 drives the image acquisition mechanism to remain stable and not shake during the lifting process, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. Specifically, the elastic member 53 is a spring. The spring is sleeved on the limiting rod 51. One end of the spring in the direction of deformation is connected to the outer sleeve 1, and the other end of the spring in the direction of deformation is connected to the mounting plate 52.
[0040] As a feasible way, as Figure 7 shown, the ejection assembly 54 includes: A threaded rod 541, and the threaded rod 541 is drivingly connected to the driving member; A threaded block 542, and the threaded block 542 is in threaded engagement with the threaded rod 541 and can move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 541; The ejector rod 543 has one end fixed to the threaded block 542, and the other end extends towards the mounting plate 52 and has a predetermined distance from the mounting plate 52. The guiding member extends along the extending direction of the threaded rod 541, and one end of the guiding member is fixed inside the outer sleeve 1, and the other end of the guiding member is connected to the ejector rod 543.
[0041] Among them, the guiding member can be but is not limited to a slide rail or a telescopic rod 544, etc.
[0042] In this embodiment, the driving member drives the threaded rod 541 to rotate. Under the action of the guiding member, the ejector rod 543 can move along the extending direction of the threaded rod 541 driven by the threaded block 542. The ejector rod 543 moves until it abuts against the mounting plate 52, driving the image acquisition mechanism to move.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the guiding member includes a telescopic rod 544, and the extending direction of the telescopic rod 544 is parallel to the extending direction of the threaded rod 541.
[0044] In this embodiment, the guiding member is a telescopic rod 544, which has a simple structure and can reliably limit the degree of freedom of the threaded block 542, so that the threaded block 542 drives the ejector rod 543 to move along the extending direction of the threaded rod 541.
[0045] As an implementable manner, as Figure 7 shown, the measuring device further includes a disengaging assembly 667, and the disengaging assembly 667 includes: A separable connection structure, the rotating rod 662 and the gear 664 are connected through the separable connection structure; A rotating cylinder 6671, the rotating cylinder 6671 is rotatably connected to the gear 664; A folding rod 6672, one end of the folding rod 6672 is inserted into the rotating cylinder 6671 and can move along the length direction of the rotating cylinder 6671, and the other end of the folding rod 6672 is connected to the ejecting assembly 54; A limiting block 6673, the limiting block 6673 is arranged at the end of the folding rod 6672 located inside the rotating cylinder 6671. When the folding rod 6672 moves to the end of the rotating cylinder 6671, the limiting block 6673 and the inner end face of the rotating cylinder 6671 are mutually limited, and the ejecting assembly 54 abuts against the mounting plate 52; The driving member drives the ejecting assembly 54 to move, and the ejecting assembly 54 drives the folding rod 6672 to move, so that the separable connection structure is separated, and the gear 664 is separated from the rotating rod 662.
[0046] It can be understood that the ejection assembly 54 and the rotating mechanism 66 are driven by the same driving member. Therefore, with the setting of the separable connection structure, in the initial state, the separable connection structure is connected together, so that the rotating rod 662 and the gear 664 are connected. The driving member drives the transmission assembly 661 to drive the rotating rod 662 to rotate, and the gear 664 rotates, so that the toothed ring 665 drives the extrusion rod 67 and the rotating ring 666 to rotate. The rotating ring 666 drives the rotating ring plate 642 to rotate, and the rotating ring plate 642 drives the shielding frame 65 to rotate, so as to perform all-round purging on the area around the crack and the image acquisition mechanism. During this process, the threaded rod 541 rotates, and under the action of the guiding member, the threaded block 542 drives the ejector rod 543 to move along the extension direction of the threaded rod 541. At the same time, the ejector rod 543 drives the folding rod 6672 and the limiting block 6673 to move. When the ejector rod 543 moves to abut against the mounting plate 52, the limiting block 6673 moves to abut against the end face of the rotating cylinder 6671. At this time, when the ejector rod 543 continues to move, the separable connection structure separates, so that the rotating rod 662 and the gear 664 are separated from each other. The gear 664 moves under the drive of the folding rod 6672 and disengages from the toothed ring 665. The toothed ring 665, the extrusion rod 67 and the shielding frame 65 stop rotating and enter the measurement state. The ejector rod 543 drives the image acquisition mechanism to move along the limiting rod 51. The elastic member 53 can provide a certain elastic buffer to ensure that the image acquisition mechanism remains stable during the lifting process and avoid affecting the measurement accuracy due to vibration. Measure the movement of the image acquisition mechanism, push open the shielding frame 65. A flexible sealing pad is arranged on the edge of the shielding frame 65, which can protect the surface of the crack from damage, and the flexible sealing pad has a certain flexibility and will deform during the rotation of the shielding frame 65 to avoid collision and interference when two adjacent shielding frames 65 rotate. Measure the image acquisition mechanism to extend, and take a picture of the crack through its lens to obtain the image information of the crack. The image information captured by the image acquisition mechanism is transmitted to the measurement equipment host through electrical connection, and the host analyzes and processes the image to calculate parameters such as the width of the crack, so as to realize the accurate measurement of the bridge crack.

Under the limitation of the telescopic rod 544, the threaded rod 541 drives the threaded block 542 to move longitudinally, and the threaded block 542 drives the top rod 543 to move longitudinally, so that the top rod 543 moves to abut against the mounting plate 52 and drives the measuring camera 3 to move.
[0053] The bridge crack measuring device further includes: a detachment assembly 667. The detachment assembly 667 includes: a rotating cylinder 6671 rotatably connected to the gear 664; a folding rod 6672 slidably connected to the rotating cylinder 6671 and with one end connected to the top rod 543; a limit block 6673 located inside the rotating cylinder 6671 and connected to the other end of the folding rod 6672; The magnetic attraction assembly 663 includes: a first magnet 6631 connected to the rotating rod 662; a second magnet 6632 connected to the gear 664, and the second magnet 6632 and the first magnet 6631 have opposite magnetic polarities; In the initial state, the measuring camera 3 is located between the shielding frame 65 and the closed end of the outer sleeve 1. The second magnet 6632 is magnetically adsorbed to the first magnet 6631, the gear 664 is stably connected to the rotating rod 662, the gear 664 and the toothed ring 665 maintain a stable meshing state, and the limit block 6673 is close to the gear 664; Place this device near the bridge crack, with the open end of the outer sleeve 1 close to the crack. The design of the boss 2 can increase the contact stability between the device and the bridge surface, preventing the device from sliding during measurement. When measuring, the motor 4 drives the threaded rod 541 to rotate. Under the limit of the telescopic rod 544, the threaded rod 541 drives the threaded block 542 to move longitudinally, and the threaded block 542 drives the ejector rod 543 to move longitudinally. Initially for a period of time, the ejector rod 543 does not abut against the mounting plate 52. During this process, the motor 4 drives the transmission component 661 to rotate, the transmission component 661 drives the rotating rod 662 to rotate, the rotating rod 662 drives the gear 664 to rotate, the gear 664 drives the toothed ring 665 to rotate, the toothed ring 665 drives the extrusion rod 67 to rotate, and the outside air enters the elastic airbag 61 through the air inlet pipe 62. The extrusion rod 67 rotates to squeeze the elastic airbag 61, so that the gas inside the elastic airbag 61 enters the shielding frame 65 through the air outlet pipe 63, the ring frame 641, the folding pipe 643, the rotating sleeve 644 and the connecting pipe 645, and is discharged through the exhaust holes at the top and bottom of the shielding frame 65 to form an air flow, purging the debris in the crack and a small amount of dust on the measuring camera 3. The extrusion rod 67 drives the rotating ring 666 to rotate, the rotating ring 666 drives the rotating ring plate 642 to rotate, and the rotating ring plate 642 drives the shielding frame 65 to rotate, purging the area around the crack and the measuring camera 3 in all directions; With the movement of the ejector rod 543, the ejector rod 543 drives the folding rod 6672 and the limit block 6673 to move synchronously. When the ejector rod 543 moves to abut against the mounting plate 52, the limit block 6673 moves to abut against the end of the rotating cylinder 6671 away from the gear 664. The ejector rod 543 continues to move, overcoming the magnetic attraction between the second magnet 6632 and the first magnet 6631, so that the gear 664 moves longitudinally to disengage from the toothed ring 665. The toothed ring 665, the extrusion rod 67 and the shielding frame 65 stop rotating and enter the measurement state. The ejector rod 543 drives the measuring camera 3 to move along the limit rod 51. The elastic member 53 can provide a certain elastic buffer to ensure that the measuring camera 3 remains stable during the lifting process and avoid affecting the measurement accuracy due to vibration. The measuring camera 3 moves and pushes open the shielding frame 65. The flexible gasket can protect the crack surface from damage, and the flexible gasket has a certain flexibility and will deform during the rotation of the shielding frame 65 to avoid collision and interference when adjacent two groups of shielding frames 65 rotate. The measuring camera 3 extends out and takes pictures of the crack through its lens to obtain the image information of the crack. The image information captured by the measuring camera 3 is transmitted to the measuring device host through electrical connection, and the host analyzes and processes the image to calculate parameters such as the width of the crack, realizing the precise measurement of the bridge crack.
