[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention discloses a road flaw detection measuring device, including a tractor unit. A measuring mechanism is fixedly mounted at the rear of the tractor unit. The measuring mechanism includes a mounting plate 1, with first fixing blocks 3 at both ends of the mounting plate 1. A first rotating shaft 4 and a second rotating shaft 5 are arranged parallel to each other on the first fixing blocks 3. A first gear 6 and a second gear 7 are respectively fixedly mounted in the middle of the first rotating shaft 4 and the second gear 7 are meshed. A connecting block 8 is provided on the first rotating shaft 4. One end of the connecting block 8 is fixed to the first rotating shaft 4, and a baffle 9 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the connecting block 8. A second fixing block 10 is symmetrically arranged on the mounting plate 1 behind the first fixing block 3. A third rotating shaft 11 is provided on the second fixing block 10. A third gear 12 is provided on the third rotating shaft 11. The third gear 12 is meshed with the second gear 7. A mounting bracket 13 is provided on the shaft 11. One end of the mounting bracket 13 is fixed to the third rotating shaft 11. A connecting plate 14 is provided on the other end of the mounting bracket 13. One end of the connecting plate 14 is fixed to the mounting bracket 13. A vertically arranged fixing rod 15 is provided on the other end of the connecting plate 14. A detection component 17 is provided on one end of the fixing rod 15. A fixing plate 21 is provided above the connecting plate 14. One end of the fixing plate 21 is connected to the mounting plate 1. A damping component 18 is provided between the fixing plate 21 and the fixing rod 15. The two ends of the damping component 18 are respectively hinged to the other end of the fixing rod 15 and the other end of the fixing plate 21. A limiting spring 20 is provided between the connecting plate 14 and the fixing plate 21. The two ends of the limiting spring 20 are respectively fixed to the fixing plate 21 and the connecting plate 14 to limit the position of the connecting plate 14.

[0028] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0029] When the tractor drives the measuring mechanism to move on the road, at this time, in the initial state, the baffle 9 and the detection assembly 17 are vertically arranged (the baffle 9 can be slightly inclined at an angle backward to avoid the problem of being stuck at a low probability of obstacles), and there is a certain gap between the baffle 9 and the road surface, that is, when obstacles (ground protrusions or stones, etc.) appear on the road surface, the obstacles first contact the baffle 9, that is, in the process of contact, the baffle 9 is extruded, thereby driving the baffle 9 to rotate, that is, the baffle 9 rotates backward, which drives the second gear 7 to rotate in the opposite direction under the action of the first gear 6, thereby driving the third gear 12 to rotate in the opposite direction of the first gear 6 under the action of the second gear 7, that is, driving the connecting plate 14 on the third rotating shaft 11 to rotate upward, thereby driving the detection assembly 17 to move upward, thereby increasing the height of the detection assembly 17, thereby avoiding the expansion of the detection assembly 17 and the ground obstacles, thereby avoiding damage. When the baffle 9 is separated from the obstacles, under the action of the limiting spring 20, the connecting plate 14 is reset, and under the action of the third gear 12, the second gear 7 and the first gear 6, the baffle 9 is reset to the initial position, so that the baffle 9 is ready for the next contact with the obstacles, and the detection assembly 17 is reset to the initial position (the height can be adjusted to the best detection height according to different road surfaces), and the road surface detection operation continues. Of course, it is not difficult to understand that the limiting spring 20 drives the damping assembly 18 to quickly reset to the initial position by using the deformation ability, and under the action of the damping assembly 18, the horizontal initial position of the connecting plate 14 is limited, avoiding the downward rotation of the connecting plate 14 while buffering the upward rotation force of the connecting plate 14, further protecting the detection assembly 17. In addition, the use of the damping assembly 18 and the spring can reset and filter shock, ensuring the stability of the detection assembly 17 during operation.

[0030] The technical effects achieved by the above technical scheme are:

[0031] Under the linkage action of the first gear 6, the second gear 7 and the third gear 12, when the baffle 9 is extruded by the obstacles, the rotation of the baffle 9 drives the connecting plate 14 to rotate, thereby driving the detection assembly 17 to lift upward, thereby raising the position of the detection assembly 17, avoiding contact with the obstacles, protecting the detection assembly 17, and under the action of the limiting spring 20, the baffle 9 and the detection assembly 17 can also quickly reset to the working state.

[0032] In an implementable mode, the damping assembly 18 comprises an outer sleeve 29, an inner portion of the outer sleeve 29 is provided with a baffle ring 28, an upper portion of the baffle ring 28 is provided with the piston block 22, a middle portion of the piston block 22 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 23, a lower portion of the piston block 22 is provided with the connecting frame 26, one end of the connecting frame 26 is fixed on the piston block 22, the other end of the connecting frame 26 is provided with the piston rod 27, an inner portion of the outer sleeve 29 is provided with damping liquid 30 (hydraulic oil is available), one end of the outer sleeve 29 is connected to the fixed plate 21, the other end of the piston rod 27 is fixed on the fixed rod 15.

[0033] That is, when the connecting plate 14 rotates and presses the piston rod 27, the piston rod 27 drives the piston block 22 to move upward, and then the upper damping liquid 30 passes through the first through holes 23, thereby playing a damping effect.

[0034] In an implementable mode, the lower surface of the piston block 22 is provided with the deflector plate 24, the edge of the deflector plate 24 is rotationally connected to the piston block 22, the deflector plate 24 fully covers the first through holes 23 arranged on the piston block 22, the deflector plate 24 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 25, the diameter of the second through holes 25 is smaller than that of the first through holes 23, and the plurality of second through holes 25 are respectively located at the middle positions of the plurality of first through holes 23.

[0035] It is not difficult to understand that when the piston rod 27 is subjected to the upward movement of the connecting plate 14, at this time the piston block 22 moves upward, the damping liquid 30 passing through the first through hole 23 will push the deflector plate 24 to flip downward, so that the hydraulic oil can quickly pass through, that is, the passing resistance of the hydraulic oil is reduced, that is, the advantage of this way is that when the baffle 9 contacts the obstacle, only a small force is needed to drive the baffle 9 to rotate, that is, to drive the detection assembly 17 to quickly respond to the upward movement, at the same time, the contact force between the obstacle and the baffle 9 is reduced, and the overall movement resistance of the device is reduced; at the same time, under the action of the limiting spring 20, the damping assembly 18 is reset, at this time, the piston block 22 moves downward, that is, under the action of the hydraulic oil, the deflector plate 24 is reset to tightly adhere to the piston block 22, that is, at this time the hydraulic oil can only move upward from the second through hole 25, and since the diameter of the second through hole 25 is smaller than that of the first through hole 23, the damping effect is achieved, thereby delaying the reset speed of the damping assembly 18, and it can be understood that the time for the height of the detection assembly 17 to return to the initial position is relatively long, such as 2s, that is, under the action of the tractor, the detection assembly 17 will move a certain distance within 2s, and then reset after the obstacle moves to the rear of the detection assembly 17, thereby avoiding the problem of collision between the detection assembly 17 and the obstacle during the reset process. The purpose of the connecting frame 26 is to connect the piston rod 27 and the piston block 22, and does not affect the flipping of the deflector plate 24. Of course, the retaining ring is used to limit the position of the piston block 22 in the present application, and of course it can also not be provided, and the closed end of the external sleeve 29 is used to limit the position by contacting the connecting frame 26, which will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Of course, it is not difficult to understand that the diameter of the first through hole 23 is set to be relatively small, and only needs to meet the requirement that the damping liquid 30 can quickly pass through, and the diameter of the second through hole 25 is set to be relatively large, which can delay the reset, so that the reset speed of the piston block 22 is slowed down, and the advantage is that the detection assembly 17 can quickly respond to the upward movement, and at the same time, the problem of damage caused by contact between the detection assembly 17 and the obstacle during the reset process can be avoided.

[0037] In an implementable manner, the detection assembly 17 is a camera assembly or a ground penetrating radar assembly, and of course can also be other flaw detection sensor assemblies, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] In an implementable manner, the first rotating shaft 4 is provided with an inclined bracket 31, one end of the inclined bracket 31 is fixed on the first rotating shaft 4, the other end of the inclined bracket 31 is provided with a telescopic element 32 (an electric or hydraulic telescopic rod), and the two ends of the telescopic element 32 are hinged to the inclined bracket 31 and the side of the baffle 9 facing the fixed rod 15. The middle part of the fixed rod 15 is provided with a telescopic part 16 (which can be achieved by threadedly connecting between the external and internal pipes, which will not be described in detail here).

[0039] The working principle of the technical solution is as follows:

[0040] Through the action of the telescopic element 32, the inclination of the baffle 9 can be adjusted, that is, the height of the lower part of the baffle 9 relative to the road surface can be adjusted, that is, the height when the baffle 9 contacts the obstacle is adjusted. The telescopic part 16 provided on the fixed rod 15 is used to adjust the height of the detection assembly 17, that is, the height of the baffle 9 can be matched with the height of the detection assembly 17 to adjust, thereby changing the height of the contact with the obstacle. That is to say, when the height of the obstacle is less than the height of the detection assembly 17, the baffle 9 does not contact the obstacle, and the obstacle does not contact the detection assembly 17, that is, this arrangement can ensure the continuous working effect of the detection assembly 17. If the height of the baffle 9 is not changed, the obstacle with low height will also drive the detection assembly 17 to move upwards, which will cause the problem of intermittent work of the detection assembly 17.

[0041] In an implementable manner, the fixed rod 15 is provided with a diagonal brace 19, and the two ends of the diagonal brace 19 are fixedly connected to the detection assembly 17 and the fixed rod 15, respectively. The side surface of the mounting plate 1 is provided with a hanging plate 2 connected to the towing vehicle. The diagonal brace 19 can ensure the connection effect of the detection assembly 17, and the hanging plate 2 can be connected to the towing vehicle.

[0042] In an implementable manner, the baffle 9 is provided with a blowing assembly for cleaning the road surface on the moving path of the detection assembly 17. The blowing assembly can be composed of a fan and an air outlet pipe. The blowing assembly can improve the working effect of the detection assembly 17 after cleaning the road surface, especially when the detection assembly 17 uses a camera assembly to take pictures of the ground. After blowing away the leaves or dust, the problem of small cracks on the road surface being blocked can be avoided.

[0043] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting. Although the present application has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
