Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of civil engineering and intelligent monitoring, specifically to a mechanically automated prefabricated sensor installation device and its intelligent support. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of civil engineering, bearing devices are key load-bearing components in bridges, buildings, and heavy machinery structures, and their performance directly affects the stability and safety of the overall structure. Current bearing devices generally employ a combination of manual assembly and external sensing monitoring, but this approach faces numerous technical bottlenecks in practical applications. Manual assembly of external sensing devices relies heavily on the experience and operation of construction personnel, making high-precision positioning difficult, resulting in low assembly efficiency, insufficient connection reliability, and a tendency to cause uneven stress distribution. Simultaneously, external sensing monitoring schemes typically require the placement of strain gauges, pressure sensors, and other equipment on or around the bearing surface, increasing construction complexity and making the sensors susceptible to environmental factors due to their separation from the bearing body, leading to decreased measurement accuracy.

[0003] Furthermore, the adjustment functions of traditional bearings are mostly statically designed, such as manually adjusting the height or tilt angle through pre-embedded screws, which cannot dynamically respond to load changes under complex working conditions. Some improvement schemes attempt to introduce passive adjustment devices such as hydraulic dampers, but they suffer from drawbacks such as low adjustment accuracy and high maintenance requirements, making it difficult to meet the real-time and durability requirements of modern engineering. Summary of the Invention

This achieves adaptive adjustment of the smart sensor's position, eliminating the need for multiple manual adjustments and improving the accuracy of the sensor mounting layer's detection position. This solves the problems of low efficiency, low adjustment accuracy, and high maintenance requirements associated with manual operation in external sensor monitoring assembly.

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] This application provides a mechanically automated assembly sensor installation device and its intelligent support, which solves the problems of low efficiency, low adjustment accuracy, and high maintenance requirements in the prior art, which rely on manual operation for external sensor monitoring assembly.

[0020] For ease of understanding, this application describes the situation as follows: the automated assembly sensor mounting device has been installed on the intelligent support. (Refer to...) Figures 1-3Among them, a mechanically automated assembly-type sensor installation device includes a sensor assembly platform 1, a sensor assembly carrier 2, a sensor mounting layer 3, an adjustment drive device, and a control system. The sensor assembly platform 1 has guide rails along its length, and the sensor assembly carrier 2 is slidably disposed within the guide rails, allowing it to slide along the length of the sensor assembly platform 1. The sensor mounting layer 3 is connected to a support, providing an installation position for a smart sensor 21 to connect to the support. The adjustment drive device is connected to the sensor assembly carrier 2 and is used to drive the sensor assembly carrier 2 to slide on the guide rails. The smart sensor 21 is disposed on the sensor assembly carrier 2 and extends into the sensor mounting layer 3, allowing the position of the smart sensor 21 to change as the sensor assembly carrier 2 moves on the sensor assembly platform 1. In actual use, the control system is connected to the intelligent sensor 21 and the adjustment drive device. The intelligent sensor 21 can detect parameters such as the real-time force magnitude, direction, and displacement change of the intelligent support and transmit them to the control system in real time. The control system receives the signal from the intelligent sensor 21 and can determine whether the installation position of the intelligent sensor 21 is qualified based on the signal received by the control system. It then controls the adjustment drive device to adjust the position of the sensor assembly carrier 2, thereby adjusting the position of the intelligent sensor 21 to achieve automated installation of the intelligent sensor 21. This eliminates the need for personnel to adjust the position of the intelligent sensor 21, making it more convenient to use.

[0021] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A smart support specifically includes an upper connecting limit plate 6, a lower connecting limit plate 7, a movable snap-fit ​​connector 8, and the aforementioned automated assembly sensor installation device. In actual bridge support conditions, the upper connecting limit plate 6 is used to connect with other components of the bridge, and an arc-shaped groove is provided at the bottom of the upper connecting limit plate 6 to form an upper arc-shaped sliding surface 61 on the bottom surface of the upper connecting limit plate 6; an arc-shaped groove is also provided on the top surface of the lower connecting limit plate 7 to form a lower arc-shaped sliding surface 71 on the top surface of the lower connecting limit plate 7. The movable latching member 8 is arc-shaped, with its upper and lower ends abutting against the upper arc-shaped sliding surface 61 and the lower arc-shaped sliding surface 71, respectively. The two ends of the top length of the movable latching member 8 engage with the arc-shaped groove of the upper connecting limiting plate 6, and the two ends of the bottom length of the movable latching member 8 engage with the arc-shaped groove of the lower connecting limiting plate 7. This allows the movable latching member 8 to engage between the upper connecting limiting plate 6 and the lower connecting limiting plate 7, preventing it from coming off between them. At the same time, because the surface of the movable latching member 8 abuts against the upper arc-shaped sliding surface 61 and the lower arc-shaped sliding surface 71, it can provide support for the bridge components while making minor adjustments to the lower connecting limiting plate 7, thereby changing the stress on the entire intelligent support.

[0022] In actual installation, the sensor mounting layer 3 is fixed to the bottom of the lower connecting limit plate 7 with bolts. At the same time, in order to facilitate the connection between the upper connecting limit plate 6 and the bridge structure, multiple connecting lugs 62 are welded to the side wall of the upper connecting limit plate 6. The connecting lugs 62 are welded to the upper connecting limit plate 6 at intervals along the circumference of the upper connecting limit plate 6. In this embodiment, four connecting lugs 62 are specifically provided.

[0023] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the alignment and installation between the upper connecting limit plate 6 and the lower connecting limit plate 7, positioning ear plates 72 are also provided on the upper connecting limit plate 6 and the lower connecting limit plate 7. The positioning ear plates 72 are specifically set on the side walls of the upper connecting limit plate 6 and the lower connecting limit plate 7, and the same set of positioning ear plates 72 are located on the same vertical line of the upper connecting limit plate 6 and the lower connecting limit plate 7, thereby facilitating the positioning and installation of the upper connecting limit plate 6 and the lower connecting limit plate 7.

[0024] More specifically, in one embodiment of this application, the adjustment drive device includes a fixed clamp 4, a rhomboid robotic arm 41, and a drive component 42. The fixed clamp 4 is used to connect to the lower connecting limit plate 7 and provide an installation position for the rhomboid robotic arm 41. The two ends of the rhomboid robotic arm 41 in the length direction are respectively hinged to the fixed clamp 4 and the sensor assembly carrier 2. Thus, when the rhomboid robotic arm 41 deforms along its length direction, it can drive the sensor assembly carrier 2 to move on the sensor assembly platform 1, thereby changing the installation position of the smart sensor 21. The drive component 42 is connected to the rhomboid robotic arm 41 and the control system, and is used to drive the two ends of the rhomboid robotic arm 41 in the length direction to move closer or further away.

[0025] In this embodiment, the driving component 42 specifically includes a reciprocating motor and a drive screw. The reciprocating motor is fixed to one end of the rhomboid robotic arm 41 in the width direction by bolts. The drive screw is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the reciprocating motor. A first nut is rotatably provided at both hinge points in the width direction of the rhomboid robotic arm 41. The two ends of the drive screw along the length direction of the drive screw are provided with threads in opposite directions. The drive screw is threadedly connected to both first nuts at the same time. When the reciprocating motor is turned on, the drive screw can be rotated, thereby driving the two first nuts to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the two hinge points in the width direction of the rhomboid robotic arm 41 to move closer or further away, so as to change the position of the sensor assembly carrier 2 on the sensor assembly platform 1 and realize the automatic assembly of the intelligent sensor 21.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to further improve the structural stability between the fixed clamp 4 and the lower connecting limit plate 7, and reduce the reaction force generated by the rhomboid robotic arm 41 on the fixed clamp 4 and the sensor assembly carrier 2 during deformation, the adjustment drive device also includes a pre-tightening cantilever 43 and a pre-tightening adjustment component. In one embodiment of this application, the pre-tightening cantilever 43 is welded to the end of the fixed clamp 4 away from the rhomboid robotic arm 41, and the pre-tightening adjustment component is connected to the pre-tightening cantilever 43 and is used to adjust the pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening cantilever 43.

[0027] More specifically, the pre-tightening adjustment assembly includes a cylindrical pre-tightening member 44 and an adjusting screw 45. The end of the pre-tightening cantilever 43 away from the fixed clamp 4 is configured as a hook. The cylindrical pre-tightening member 44 is located inside the hook-shaped part of the pre-tightening cantilever 43. In actual use, the adjusting screw 45 passes through both the pre-tightening cantilever 43 and the cylindrical pre-tightening member 44. By tightening the adjusting screw 45, the cylindrical pre-tightening member 44 can be moved along the length direction of the adjusting screw 45, thereby causing the cylindrical pre-tightening member 44 to press against the pre-tightening cantilever 43, thereby increasing the pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening cantilever 43. In one embodiment of this application, two sets of pre-tightening cantilever 43 and cylindrical pre-tightening member 44 are provided. The two sets of pre-tightening cantilever 43 and cylindrical pre-tightening member 44 are spaced apart on the fixed clamp 4 along the width direction to provide symmetrical pre-tightening force from the width direction of the fixed clamp 4, so that the fixed clamp 4 can be more stably fixed on the lower connecting limit plate 7.

[0028] Meanwhile, when the columnar pretensioner 44 abuts against the pretensioner cantilever 43 to generate pretensioning force, the fixed clamp 4 also experiences a certain reaction force. This reaction force is transmitted through the structure of the pretensioner cantilever 43 to the connection point with the fixed clamp 4, forming a composite stress state. Therefore, to reduce the possibility of breakage of the fixed clamp 4 and the pretensioner cantilever 43 due to the reaction force of the pretensioning force, the fixed clamp 4 and the pretensioner cantilever 43 are integrally welded during manufacturing. By eliminating the assembly gaps and weak points of the traditional split structure, the occurrence of stress concentration is effectively reduced. Furthermore, both the fixed clamp 4 and the pretensioner cantilever 43 are made of high-strength steel. This material not only has good toughness to cope with dynamic load changes but also enhances fatigue resistance through specific metallurgical processes, thereby improving the structural strength of the fixed clamp 4 and the pretensioner cantilever 43 themselves. The optimization of material properties enables the fixed clamp 4 and the pretensioner cantilever 43 to maintain stable mechanical performance during long-term operation, maintaining structural integrity even under repeated pretensioning force impacts, providing a fundamental guarantee for the safe operation of the equipment.

[0029] Due to potential installation errors during the actual installation process, even if the smart sensor 21 extends into the sensor mounting layer 3, it may not yet make contact with the lower connecting limit plate 7. Therefore, a position adjustment component is provided to adjust the height position of the smart sensor 21, so as to fine-tune the position of the lower connecting limit plate 7.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 The position adjustment component is specifically configured as a wedge-shaped adjustment block 5, which is fixed to the end of the sensor assembly carrier 2 away from the adjustment drive device by bolts. The intelligent sensor 2 is specifically fixed on the wedge-shaped adjustment block 5. The sensor assembly platform 1 has an inclined groove, and the wedge-shaped adjustment block 5 is slidably disposed in the inclined groove. When the rhomboid robotic arm 41 moves the sensor assembly carrier 2 on the sensor assembly platform 1, the wedge-shaped adjustment block 5 can move up and down synchronously in the vertical direction along the inclined surface of the inclined groove, and drive the intelligent sensor 21 to move up and down vertically while sliding horizontally. When the rhomboid robotic arm 41 can no longer deform, the intelligent sensor 21 and the lower connecting limit plate 7 can achieve tight fit.
