Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of urban rail transit structure safety detection technology, and in particular to a detection device and a detection method for urban rail transit structure safety protection. Background Art

[0002] The subway is a high-speed, high-capacity, electric-powered rail transit system built in cities. Trains operate on fully enclosed lines. Lines within urban areas are typically located in underground tunnels, while lines outside the city are generally located on elevated bridges or on the surface. The subway is a high-density, high-capacity urban rail transit system encompassing various underground and above-ground right-of-way systems within the city. During tunnel operation, tunnels are affected by factors such as groundwater levels, the environment, and vibration disturbances, causing deformation or cracking. Track inspections also require maintenance during subway downtime. Existing technologies employ a large number of sensors deployed within tunnels to monitor tunnel structure safety, but this involves extensive construction and high equipment costs. Existing technologies utilize inspection robots or drones equipped with image acquisition equipment installed on the tracks. However, the tracks are relatively fixed, and the monitoring equipment is also relatively fixed. Due to limited detection range, inspection robots can only inspect tunnel structures or subway tracks. Drones, which perform image acquisition during flight inspections, cannot carry a large amount of other inspection equipment, making comprehensive inspections impossible. Summary of the Invention
