[0002] The traditional layered settlement observation adopts the mode of manually lifting the measuring head, changing the position of the measuring head in the settlement pipe, and recording the position of the magnetic ring according to the generated ringing. There are problems such as low measurement efficiency, inability to continuous observation, dependence on the experience of the operator, and large random error. In view of these problems, some automatic layered settlement measuring devices are developed, and these devices mostly use driving equipment to uniformly lift the measuring head. However, after the magnetic ring is buried in the soil, the settlement of the soil will cause the displacement of the magnetic ring, and then cause measurement error, and this error has a certain uncertainty; in addition, affected by factors such as voltage fluctuation and mechanical cooperation, the speed of the measuring head passing through the magnetic ring is not uniform, and the subsequent data processing is carried out according to the uniform movement of the measuring head, which causes a large measurement error. SUMMARY

[0007] The surface of the calibration magnetic ring is coated with a corrosion-resistant coating by electroplating process, so that it is suitable for high-corrosion environments such as water-rich or saline soil, and the service life of the calibration magnetic ring is prolonged.
[0008] Further, the soil-embedded anchor rod is arranged on the measuring magnetic ring by a buckle, and the soil-embedded anchor rod is embedded in the surrounding soil to achieve fixation; the buckle and the soil-embedded anchor rod are made of engineering plastic material. The engineering plastic has high strength and can avoid the influence of additional magnetic field on the measurement of the calibration magnetic ring.
[0009] Further, vertical guide grooves are arranged on the inner wall of the measuring pipe, and a matching guide wheel is arranged on the measuring head, so that the measuring head moves vertically along the measuring pipe through the cooperation of the guide grooves and the guide wheel.
[0010] Further, a sponge for buffering the kinetic energy of the measuring head is arranged above the tray at the bottom of the measuring pipe.
[0011] Further, the measuring pipe is made of PVC material.
[0012] The wedge sleeve makes the PVC measuring pipe have better anti-pulling and anti-overturning ability in the soil.

[0017] Advantages: Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following obvious advantages: The measuring head in the measuring tube performs free fall, which is easier to realize than uniform movement of the measuring head. On this basis, the time interval of the electric signal measured after the calibration magnetic ring is self-calibrated, which can realize automatic layered settlement monitoring. Through the fixed buried calibration magnetic ring, the electric signal interval generated by the calibration magnetic ring can be error corrected with the theoretical value at each measurement, so as to correct the measurement value of the measuring magnetic ring and greatly improve the measurement accuracy. Specifically, The calibration magnetic ring keeps the same buried depth, so the electric signal interval of the two groups of calibration magnetic rings measured each time has a reference theoretical calculation value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a self-calibration layered settlement measuring instrument, including an electrical signal processor 1, a solar photovoltaic panel 2, a motor 3, an electromagnet 4, a measuring tube 8, a probe 9, a sponge 10, a tray 11, a spring 12 and a motor switch 13, wherein the electrical signal processor 1, the solar photovoltaic panel 2 and the motor 3 are arranged on the ground, the measuring tube 8 is arranged in a drill hole, and the sponge 10, the tray 11, the spring 12 and the motor switch 13 are arranged at the bottom of the measuring tube 8.
[0022] A set of calibration magnetic rings 5 is fixed to the outside of the measuring tube 8 every 2 meters. The topmost calibration magnetic ring group has one calibration magnetic ring 5, and the remaining calibration magnetic ring groups have a number of calibration magnetic rings 5 equal to the integer portion of the depth value. For example, at a depth of 2 meters, two calibration magnetic rings 5 are deployed; at a depth of 4 meters, four calibration magnetic rings 5 are deployed, and so on. In this embodiment, the measuring tube 8 is made of PVC, which ensures its strength and rigidity while preventing the generation of additional magnetic fields that could cause errors in the measurement results. The calibration magnetic rings 5 are electroplated and coated with epoxy resin to ensure underground waterproofing and corrosion resistance.
[0023] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the measuring tube 8 is provided with four vertical guide grooves 18, which are evenly distributed along the circumference. The measuring head 9 is provided with a matching guide wheel 17, which enables the measuring head 9 to move vertically along the measuring tube 8 through the cooperation of the guide grooves 18 and the guide wheel 17.
[0024] like Figure 3As shown, the outside of the measuring tube 8 is provided with a wedge sleeve 6 with an inverted conical structure, which can make the measuring tube 8 enter the soil and form a "soil cutting surface", so that the soil is more easily cut and compacted, and the soil is less subjected to transverse extrusion, reducing the resistance during construction and improving the construction efficiency. When the measuring tube 8 is subjected to horizontal external force or upward pulling force, the wedge sleeve 6 can form a "soil locking effect" due to the large contact area between the wide end of the wedge sleeve 6 close to the tube body and the soil, thereby enhancing the overall uplift resistance of the measuring tube 8. And under the action of the pulling force, the surrounding soil will be further compacted, enhancing the resistance of the soil, thereby improving the stability of the position of the measuring tube 8, providing conditions for fixing the fixed buried depth of the calibration magnetic ring 5, and also can be used to fix the calibration magnetic ring 5. Specifically, the outer diameter of the wedge sleeve 6 is slightly larger than that of the measuring tube 8, so the calibration magnetic ring 5 can be placed above the wedge sleeve 6 without sliding down, and there is a protrusion 19 above the fixed position of the calibration magnetic ring 5. After the calibration magnetic ring 5 is forced to slide down from top to bottom through the protrusion 19, it will be clamped above the wedge sleeve 6.
[0025] The adjacent calibration magnetic ring groups are evenly distributed with a plurality of measuring magnetic rings 7, which are not connected with the measuring tube 8, but are fixed in the surrounding soil through the soil-embedded anchor rod 15, and the soil-embedded anchor rod 15 is arranged on the measuring magnetic ring 7 through the buckle 16, as shown. Figure 2 The soil-embedded anchor rod 15 and the buckle 16 are made of engineering plastic material.
[0026] The electromagnet 4 is located directly above the measuring tube 8 and is controlled by a timing chip to realize periodic power-on and power-off. When the electromagnet 4 is powered on, it attracts the probe 9, and when it is powered off, it releases the probe 9, so that the probe 9 makes a free-fall motion in the measuring tube 8.
[0027] The calibration magnetic ring 5 is fixed on the outside of the measuring tube 8, so that the calibrated depth is relatively fixed, thereby realizing the correction of errors for all measuring magnetic rings 7. When the probe 9 passes through two calibration magnetic rings 5 with a depth of 2m, two continuous electric signals are generated by cutting the magnetic induction lines, and when the probe 9 passes through four calibration magnetic rings 5 with a depth of 4m, four continuous electric signals are generated by cutting the magnetic induction lines. By analogy, thereby providing a basis for automatic measurement. When the probe 9 passes through the measuring magnetic ring 7, an electric signal is generated by cutting the magnetic induction lines.
[0028] The electric signal processor 1 calculates the position of the measuring magnetic ring 7 according to the interval of the electric signal time generated by the probe 9 passing through the measuring magnetic ring 7 and the calibration magnetic ring 5, and obtains the settlement of the soil body at that layer.
[0029] Sponge 10 is positioned above tray 11 to cushion the kinetic energy of the falling stylus 9 and protect it. The output of motor 3 is connected to electromagnet 4 via a rope, which is wound around the output of motor 3. When stylus 9 lands on tray 11, spring 12 compresses, and tray 11 triggers motor switch 13. Motor 3 activates, lowering electromagnet 4. Electromagnet 4 is also energized, causing it to attract stylus 9. Motor 3 then lifts stylus 9, resetting spring 12 and tray 11. Once stylus 9 is fully raised, a measurement is complete.
[0030] The solar photovoltaic panel 2 is used to collect solar energy to generate electricity during the day. The generated electricity is stored in a battery and used to power the electrical signal processor 1, the motor 3 and the electromagnet 4, ensuring that the stratified settlement measuring instrument can operate for a long time.
[0031] The present invention further provides a method for measuring the settlement of the self-calibrating layered settlement measuring instrument according to the present invention, comprising the following steps: (1) Drill a hole at the predetermined drilling point and insert the measuring magnetic ring 7; fix the calibration magnetic ring 5 on the wedge-shaped sleeve 6 on the outer wall of the measuring tube 8, and insert the measuring tube 8 into the drilled hole until it reaches the bottom of the hole; leave a wire 14 connected to the motor switch 13 to the ground, and finally seal the hole with clay (in actual drilling, in order to make it easier to put the measuring tube 8 down, the drilled hole will be significantly larger than the measuring tube 8. Sealing the hole does not block the hole of the measuring tube 8, but rather fills the gap between the drilled hole and the already placed measuring tube 8); (2) Connect the motor switch 13 to the motor 3 through the wire 14, and the electromagnet 4 attracts the probe 9; (3) The timing chip controls the electromagnet 4 to cut off the power and release the probe 9. The probe 9 performs free fall in the measuring tube 8, collects the time intervals of the electrical signals passing through different magnetic rings, and calculates the position of the measuring magnetic ring 7 according to the following formula: x= ; Where x is the depth of the measuring magnetic ring from the ground surface; g is the acceleration due to gravity; It is the time difference between two adjacent groups of calibration magnetic rings generating electrical signals; To measure the time difference of the electrical signal generated by the magnetic ring from the previous set of calibration magnetic rings; (4) The probe 9 falls to the bottom of the measuring tube 8, triggering the motor switch 13. The discharge magnet 4 under the motor 3 attracts the probe 9 and pulls up the probe 9. After it is pulled into place, the electromagnet 4 is always energized until the next time the timing chip controls the electromagnet 4 to release the probe 9.
