Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of displacement sensors, in particular to a wireless displacement sensor used in pile load tests. Background Art
[0002] Static load tests determine the bearing capacity of pile foundations through the load-displacement curve at the top of the pile. Traditional methods rely on wired displacement sensors or dial indicators fixed to the reference beam to measure displacement. However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks: First, the sensor needs to be connected to the front-end machine by wire, and the equipment layout is limited by the length of the wire, resulting in poor flexibility. Second, the reference beam needs to be erected on the reference pile, and the spacing between the reference pile and the test pile and the weighted platform pier must be strict (≥4D and >2 meters). In large-diameter pile scenarios, the reference beam is bulky and the reference pile is difficult to install, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive preliminary preparations. Third, the steel reference beam is susceptible to temperature deformation and environmental vibration interference, requiring additional protective measures, and data accuracy is difficult to guarantee.
[0003] These issues severely restrict detection efficiency and reliability: the complicated installation of the benchmark system leads to a surge in labor costs, the benchmark pile spacing in a limited site is difficult to meet regulatory requirements, and wired transmission and benchmark beam deformation directly introduce measurement errors. To address this, we propose a wireless displacement sensor for pile load testing. Summary of the Invention
