Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building monitoring, and in particular to a building full life cycle monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there is a need for monitoring existing buildings, especially the reinforcement and maintenance of old buildings. People have begun to pay attention to the monitoring of old buildings. However, they only monitor with fixed instruments on the outer surface of the buildings, and the monitoring items are very few.

When the actual data is within the range of the reference data, the monitoring host continues to collect data collected by the sensor component and the monitor.

[0006] Preferably, the sensor assembly is arranged in the wall of the water-facing side of the building, and when the water-facing wall is a concrete wall, the sensor assembly is buried in the concrete wall; when the water-facing wall is a masonry wall, the sensor assembly is buried in the masonry wall.

[0031] The specific embodiment shown below is intended to be a description of the various configurations of the subject technology of the present invention, and is not intended to represent that the subject technology of the present invention can be put into practice. The specific embodiment includes that specific details are intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject technology of the present invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject technology of the present invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein, and can be put into practice without these specific details.

[0032] It will be understood that, herein, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and are not intended to express or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0033] The terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 8As shown, a building life cycle monitoring system is characterized by comprising a sensor component 1, wherein the sensor component 1 is pre-buried in the wall of the building, and the sensor component comprises a sensor, a sensor cable and a sensor network; Monitor 2, the monitor 2 is installed on the wall of the building; A monitoring host 3, the monitor 2 and the sensor component 1 all communicate with the monitoring host 3; and an alarm 4, said alarm 4 being controlled by said monitoring host 3; The building life cycle monitoring system monitors the life cycle of a building through the following methods: During the construction of a building, the sensor component 1 is pre-buried in the wall of the building. If the pre-buried sensor component 1 in the building is not possible, the sensor component 1 is installed in the building after the construction of the building is completed. After the building construction is completed and the building walls and main structure are inspected and accepted, the sensor assembly 1 is directly connected to the monitoring host 3; A monitor 2 is installed on the wall of the building and connected to the monitoring host 3. The monitor 2 includes a temperature and humidity monitor and a hollowing sensor. The monitor is buried in the concrete of the building to monitor the humidity and moisture content of the mixed soil structure layer and cooperates with the sensor component 1 to monitor the leakage of the structure layer. The monitoring host 3 collects data collected by the sensor component 1 and the temperature and humidity sensor 23 in real time to obtain actual data; The actual data is compared with the reference data preset in the monitoring host 3. When the actual data is not within the range of the reference data, the monitoring host 3 controls the alarm 4 to issue an alarm message. When the actual data is within the range of the reference data, the monitoring host 3 continues to collect data collected by the sensor component 1 and the monitor 2.

[0035] The monitor 2 can be pre-buried in the building, or can be set outside the wall of the building.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the main component of the sensing cable is resistance, which consists of two conductors and is pre-buried in parallel in the wall of the building. One end of the sensing cable is directly connected, and the other end is connected to the reference voltage and the reference resistor to form a loop. The conductor is made of conductive polymer, and its unit length resistance is a constant value, and the resistance has a linear relationship with the length. When there is no water leakage, the current between the two conductors is a constant value. When a water leakage occurs, it will cause a current short circuit, thereby causing the voltage value between the two conductive wires to change. The monitoring host 3 uses this to monitor whether the building is leaking.

[0037] Specifically, a building lifecycle monitoring system, including sensors, sensor cables, and sensor networks, can perform both three-dimensional and single-point monitoring, monitoring all or just some of a building's vital signs. Point-type sensors can be pre-buried during concrete construction or installed later. Linear sensor lines and surface-type sensor networks are primarily embedded in the concrete structure, with some options available for post-installation. For example, linear temperature and humidity monitors, water leak detection sensors, and hollowing and shedding sensors are embedded within the building's concrete to monitor humidity and moisture content, as well as leakage within the concrete structure. To monitor hollowing and leakage within decorative layers such as stucco, sensors are embedded within the stucco. Each monitoring point is then aggregated via wired or wireless communication, ultimately connected to a monitoring host and ultimately transmitted to a control system and monitoring platform. The sensors maintain real-time communication with the host, enabling real-time monitoring of leaks, cracks, and other conditions within the building's structure, achieving comprehensive monitoring and maintenance throughout the building's lifecycle.

[0038] In some embodiments, the sensor assembly 1 is installed in the wall of the building facing the water. If the facing wall is a concrete wall, the sensor assembly 1 is embedded in the concrete wall. If the facing wall is a masonry wall, the sensor assembly 1 is embedded in the masonry wall. If pre-embedding conditions are not available, the sensor assembly 1 can also be placed on the wall surface.

[0039] In some embodiments, the distance between the sensor component 1 and the water-facing surface is no more than 10 centimeters, and the water-facing surface is the water-receiving surface of the water-facing wall.

[0040] In some embodiments, the sensor components 1 are distributed within the wall. The greater the number of sensor components 1 and the more evenly they are distributed, the higher the accuracy of monitoring by the monitoring host 3. The direction of the sensor cables can be determined based on the direction of the cracks.

[0041] In some embodiments, the distance between two adjacent sensor components 1 is not less than 5 centimeters.

[0042] The monitor 2 can be pre-buried in the wall or set outside the wall. When the monitor 2 is set outside the wall, the monitor 2 is easy to maintain. To this end, in some embodiments, the monitor 2 includes a box 21, and the box 21 is provided with sensors such as a temperature sensor 22 and a humidity sensor 23. A communicator is provided in the box 21, and the temperature sensor 22 and the humidity sensor 23 both communicate with the monitoring host 3 through the communicator.

[0043] In some embodiments, when the communicator is a wireless communication module, the communicator communicates with the monitoring host 3 via wireless communication. The communicator can also be a wired communication module, and the communicator can also communicate with the monitoring host 3 via wired communication.

[0044] Reference Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the box 21 is mounted on a wall via a mounting assembly 5, the mounting assembly 5 comprising a frame 51 fixed to the wall, with a buffer 52 provided between the frame 51 and the box 21. The mounting assembly can be pre-buried in the wall or mounted on the wall.

[0045] In some embodiments, the frame 51 is adsorbed on the wall by a suction cup, or the frame 51 is adhered to the wall. The box 21 is also provided with a micro switch 53 for detecting whether the box 21 has fallen. The micro switch 53 includes a detection head 531. The box 21 is also provided with a trigger head 532 for triggering the detection head 531. The detection head 531 is located around the trigger head 532, and the trigger head 532 is suspended in the box 21 by a compression spring 533.

[0046] Specifically, when frame 51 falls, tilts, or hits the ground, creating an impact, trigger head 532 overcomes the force of spring 523 and displaces. When trigger head 532 contacts detection head 531, microswitch 53 is triggered. Microswitch 53 communicates with monitoring host 3 via a communicator. When monitoring host 3 detects the triggering of microswitch 53, it controls alarm 4 to issue a corresponding alarm signal, alerting personnel to perform maintenance.

[0047] In some embodiments, the buffer 52 includes a sliding rod 521 arranged on the box body 21, and the frame 51 is provided with a through hole 522 for the sliding rod 521 to pass through, and the through hole 522 is long and narrow. The buffer 52 is a spring 523, and the spring 523 is sleeved on the sliding rod 521. Moreover, the spring 523 is located between the frame 51 and the box body 21, and the sliding rod 521 is fixed to the box body 21 by screws.

[0048] An outer frame 511 is provided outside the frame 51, and a slide bar 521 extends between the outer frame 511 and the frame 51, and the slide bar 521 does not contact the outer frame 511. Under normal conditions, the box 21 is positioned by the buffer 52. When the frame 51 falls and contacts the ground, the buffer 52 is compressed, absorbing some of the impact and preventing damage to the box 21.

[0049] The above describes the subject technical solution and corresponding details of the present invention. It can be understood that the above description is only some implementation plans of the subject technical solution of the present invention, and some details may be omitted during its specific implementation.

Due to space limitations, various combination schemes are not listed one by one. Those skilled in the art can freely combine and implement the above embodiments as needed in specific implementation to obtain a better application experience.
