Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge inspection technology, and relates to a multi-degree-of-freedom bridge inspection device and method. Background Technology
[0002] When inspecting suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and tied arch bridges, the limitations of the suspenders and cables, and even the streetlights on urban bridges, can cause road-mounted bridge inspection vehicles to frequently retract their trusses, resulting in low work efficiency and even making it impossible to detect defects on the beam bottom near short cables and suspenders.
[0003] The integrated gantry inspection vehicle relies on the telescopic vertical gantry, the rotating transverse gantry, and the traveling wheels to form a whole, which can achieve the inspection of most bridge types. However, during the inspection process, it cannot effectively avoid the gantry, cables, and street light poles, which leads to the continuous telescopic and adjustment of the gantry, reducing work efficiency. In addition, it is easy to collide with the gantry, cables, and street light poles during the inspection, which poses certain safety hazards.
[0004] While the inverted-gate gantry inspection vehicle, fixed to both sides of the side beam, can move freely within a single span of the bridge and effectively avoid interference from hangers, cables, and streetlights, its inverted-gate design, being a single unit, prevents it from crossing bridge piers, thus limiting its ability to cross piers. In other words, one device can only operate within its own span; the number of spans corresponds to the number of devices required. Generally, cable-stayed and suspension bridges consist of three spans, therefore, three inverted-gate gantry inspection vehicles are needed for each cable-stayed or suspension bridge. Even with the use of openable crossbeam inverted-gate gantry inspection vehicles, the steps of unfolding, positioning, inspecting, and retracting must still be repeated during each span inspection, increasing the workload, reducing efficiency, and posing certain safety hazards during movement. Summary of the Invention

The self-propelled trolley drives the telescopic operating platform to slide on the track, enabling flexible longitudinal movement of the inspection device along the bridge. This allows for rapid movement of the telescopic operating platform to different inspection areas according to the inspection plan. During sliding, the angle of the telescopic operating platform can be adjusted by rotating the connecting component, ensuring its extension direction is parallel to the track and preventing collisions with bridge piers. After reaching the inspection area, the angle of the telescopic operating platform can be adjusted again by rotating the connecting component, allowing inspectors to observe and inspect bridge defects from different perspectives. Adjusting the length of the telescopic operating platform allows the inspection equipment to be closer to the inspected area for accurate testing. This invention achieves rapid positioning and flexible operation of the inspection device through the movement of the self-propelled trolley and the adjustment of the angle and length of the telescopic operating platform.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 The self-propelled trolley 6 is slidably connected to the track 2.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 3The telescopic operating platform 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating connecting component 7, allowing the telescopic operating platform 8 to move along with the self-propelled trolley 6. Simultaneously, the rotating connecting component 7 provides the telescopic operating platform 8 with flexible rotation capabilities, enabling adjustments based on the bridge structure, such as the angle of the beam bottom or the area around the stay cables, to better adapt to the requirements of the inspection position and angle, thereby improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the inspection. The telescopic operating platform 8 has a telescopic function, allowing adjustment of the distance between the operating platform and the bridge inspection area, enabling inspectors to get closer to the defect location for detailed inspection.

The spacing between the guardrails 805 on the fixed platform 801 is greater than the spacing between the guardrails 805 on the sliding platform 802.
[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11 In this embodiment of the invention, it further includes two long, narrow sliding wheel rails 9, a connecting shaft 10, two rollers 11, a first suspension rod 12, a second suspension rod 13, and a fourth portal-shaped connecting rod 14.

This reduces the preparation time and operation steps in the detection process, eliminates the need to replace the detection equipment, and improves detection efficiency.
[0037] See Figure 12 Based on the above structure, the present invention also discloses a bridge inspection method, comprising the following steps: S1, the track 2 is suspended on the bridge 1 to be inspected by the suspension rod 3, which provides a stable base platform for movement and operation in the subsequent inspection process, ensuring that the track 2 can withstand the various forces generated in the inspection process, and ensuring that the self-propelled trolley 6 moves safely and smoothly on the track 2; In this embodiment of the invention, the suspension rod 3 is movably connected to the track 2 to prevent concentrated stress at the connection between the suspension rod 3 and the bridge 1, thus avoiding damage to the bridge. Simultaneously, a lateral limiter 4 and a longitudinal limiter 5 are arranged between the bridge 1 to be tested and the track 2. These limiters restrict the swaying of the track 2 in the lateral and longitudinal directions, preventing excessive swaying and enhancing the stability of the device.
[0038] S2, the self-propelled trolley 6 drives the telescopic operating platform 8 to slide on the track 2, realizing flexible movement of the detection device in the longitudinal direction of the bridge, which facilitates the rapid movement of the telescopic operating platform 8 to different detection areas according to the detection plan. During the crossing of piers, the telescopic operating platform 8 is kept parallel to the track 2 in the telescopic direction to avoid the telescopic operating platform 8 being affected by the bridge piers 101 during operation; S3, after the telescopic operating platform 8 reaches the area to be inspected, the angle of the telescopic operating platform 8 is adjusted by rotating the connecting component 7, allowing the inspectors to observe and inspect bridge defects from different perspectives. Adjusting the length of the telescopic operating platform 8 allows the inspection equipment to get closer to the area to be inspected, facilitating accurate inspection.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the telescopic operating platform 8 will generate a large torque after it extends. In order to avoid excessive torque and damage to the equipment, a sliding wheel rail 9 is arranged under the bridge 1 to be tested. The sliding wheel rail 9 is connected to the telescopic operating platform 8 through rollers 11, connecting shafts 10, first suspension rods 12, second suspension rods 13 and fourth portal connecting rods 14 to ensure operational safety.
[0040] This invention achieves rapid positioning and flexible operation of the inspection device through the fixing of track 2, the movement of the self-propelled trolley 6, and the adjustment of the angle and length of the telescopic operating platform 8. This reduces the time required for equipment installation and adjustment in traditional inspection methods, enabling more efficient bridge inspection work, and is particularly suitable for large-scale bridge inspection tasks.
[0041] Example 2: See Figure 1 system Figure 3 This embodiment discloses a multi-degree-of-freedom bridge inspection device. Tracks 2 are suspended on both sides of the side beam of the bridge 1. The tracks 2 are embedded in the self-propelled trolley 6. A multi-stage telescopic operating platform 8 is set directly below the self-propelled trolley 6. The telescopic operating platform 8 rotates 360° in the horizontal plane at the bottom of the trolley. When it rotates to the cross section direction of the bridge 1, it starts the working state and the current span walking state. When it rotates to the longitudinal section direction of the bridge 1, it starts the crossing pier walking state.
[0042] The self-propelled trolley 6 and the telescopic operating platform 8 form an organic whole. The side beam suspension rod 3 is hinged to the track 2 at multiple points, and several lateral limiters 4 and several longitudinal limiters 5 are also installed. The self-propelled trolley 6 and the telescopic operating platform 8 form an organic whole that can rotate and move moderately along the longitudinal and transverse axes of the bridge 1. Therefore, the track 2 can adaptively deform according to the working state of the self-propelled trolley 6 and the telescopic operating platform 8 as well as temperature changes, overcoming the stress concentration failure caused by excessive stiffness at the connection between the track 2 and the bridge 1. The telescopic operating platform 8 can rotate 360° in the horizontal plane at the bottom of the self-propelled trolley 6, and the telescopic operating platform 8 can freely extend and shorten according to the cross-sectional width of the bridge 1.
[0043] This invention integrates a self-propelled trolley 6 and a telescopic operating platform 8 into a single organic unit. The self-propelled trolley 6 has a built-in track 2, and the side beam suspension rod 3 is hinged to the track 2. The track 2 has multiple degrees of freedom and can adapt to deformation to avoid stress concentration damage. The telescopic operating platform 8 can rotate 360° within the horizontal plane at the bottom of the self-propelled trolley 6 and can move freely along the track 2. One self-propelled trolley 6 and the multi-stage extendable telescopic operating platform 8 can complete the inspection of the entire bridge. To overcome the large torque generated on the track 2 by the multi-stage extension of the telescopic operating platform 8 and the load, a sliding wheel rail 9 is installed at the bottom of the beam. The sliding wheel rail 9 connects to the telescopic operating platform 8 to reduce the torque exerted on the track 2 by the telescopic operating platform 8 and the load. Only one self-propelled trolley 6 and a multi-stage extendable telescopic operating platform 8 are needed for a single bridge, saving costs and improving efficiency.
[0044] In this invention, the track 2 is hinged to several suspension rods 3, enabling the track 2 to undergo multi-degree-of-freedom adaptive deformation, avoiding stress concentration damage, improving the service life of the track, and ensuring the safety of operation. The self-propelled trolley 6 of this invention can travel freely along the track 2, and the multi-level retractable telescopic operating platform 8 can rotate freely under the beam and can extend and retract in multiple stages, enabling comprehensive inspection of every defect under the beam. The present invention rotates the telescopic operating platform 8 to the longitudinal direction of the bridge by rotating the connecting component 7, and crosses the bridge pier 101 together with the self-propelled trolley 6, reaching every position of the entire bridge 1 during the movement of the self-propelled trolley 6. Using this invention, only one device needs to be installed on a bridge, which is low in cost and high in efficiency; The telescopic operating platform 8 of this invention has a large extension capacity, which can freely extend and retract according to the width of the bridge cross section to inspect every defect on the bottom of the beam. The present invention provides a sliding wheel rail 9 at the bottom of the bridge 1, which is connected to the telescopic operating platform 8 to reduce the torque of the telescopic operating platform 8 and the load on the rail 2.
