The length of the cylindrical groove 3 is smaller than the length of the entire steel bar 2. Only a section of the steel bar 2 is selected for corrosion monitoring.
[0017] A plurality of annular detection assemblies 4 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the steel bar 2 in the cylindrical groove 3, each annular detection assembly 4 comprising an arc-shaped detection block 5, the inner side of the arc-shaped detection block 5 forming a solution cavity 6, which is mainly used for containing hydraulic oil. A pressure sensor 7 is installed in the solution cavity 6, which is mainly used for monitoring the pressure in the solution cavity 6. When the corrosion pit detection piece acts, the pressure decreases, which can reflect the corrosion condition of the steel bar 2 to a certain extent.
[0018] A connecting hole 8 is formed on both sides of the arc-shaped detection block 5, which is used to connect an elastic hose 9.

When the outer end of the inner rod 13 is located at the last end of the outer tube 11 under the abutting action of the steel bar 2, the side surface of the inner rod 13 blocks the through hole 12, at this time, the hydraulic oil cannot overflow, after the steel bar 2 is corroded, the outer end of the inner rod 13 is no longer constrained and is displaced outward under the action of the supporting spring until the inner rod 13 leaks out of the through hole 12, at this time, the hydraulic oil in the solution cavity 6 can enter the inner side of the outer tube 11 through the through hole 12, and then enter the air bag 18 through the intermediate passage and the branch passage 17, under the action of the initial pressure, the air bag 18 is driven to expand, and the micro air bag 18 can fill the hollow position of the corroded steel bar 2 to release the pressure.
[0021] In the embodiment, the inner rod 13 comprises a first semicircular rod 19 and a second semicircular rod 20, the first semicircular rod 19 and the second semicircular rod 20 are symmetrical relative to the center plane of the inner rod 13, a straight groove 21 is formed in the plane of the first semicircular rod 19 and the second semicircular rod 20, the planes of the first semicircular rod 19 and the second semicircular rod 20 are in contact with each other to form the inner rod 13, the straight grooves 21 on the first semicircular rod 19 and the second semicircular rod 20 cooperate to form the central passage 16, the branch passages 17 are formed in the inner sides of the lower ends of the first semicircular rod 19 and the second semicircular rod 20, the first semicircular rod 19 and the second semicircular rod 20 are detachably connected, the two can be connected by glue or by screws, so as to facilitate the installation of the air bag 18. The inner wall of the straight groove 21 is formed with a step 22 for installing the air bag 18.
[0022] In the embodiment, the outer tube 11 is threadedly connected with the arc detection block 5, by rotating the outer tube 11, the length of the outer tube 11 extending into the solution cavity 6 can be adjusted to adapt to the actual needs.

[0023] In the embodiment, the protective tube 25 is embedded in the cylindrical groove 3, the inner side of the protective tube 25 is formed with at least two groups of retaining rings 26, each group of retaining rings 26 is correspondingly provided with a group of annular detection assemblies 4, each group of retaining rings 26 is two, and an annular groove for matching the annular detection assembly 4 is formed between the two retaining rings 26, which can conveniently adjust the position of the annular detection assembly 4 in the circumferential direction, and can also limit the axial position of the annular detection assembly 4, the outer side of the reinforcing steel bar 2 is rotatably provided with a rolling rod 27, and the two ends of the rolling rod 27 are respectively matched with the arc-shaped detection blocks 5 of the two groups of annular detection assemblies 4.
[0024] In the embodiment, the inner side of the protective tube 25 is also formed with two groups of protective rings 28, and the two groups of annular detection assemblies 4 and the rolling rod 27 are arranged in the region formed by the two groups of protective rings 28 in the axial direction, so that impurities can be prevented from entering the device and affecting the device, and the accuracy of subsequent data detection can be ensured.
[0025] In the embodiment, the elastic hose 9 is made of an elastic material, when the annular detection assembly 4 is expanded by the reinforcing steel bar 2, the elastic hose 9 presses the annular detection assembly 4 against the surface of the reinforcing steel bar 2, and the rolling rod 27 is used for rolling supporting the arc-shaped detection block 5 of the annular detection assembly 4. In the embodiment, at least one rolling rod 27 is provided with a strain gauge 29, and the bending degree of the reinforcing steel bar 2 can be monitored through the bending of the strain gauge 29, so as to adapt to the actual needs.
[0026] The working principle and process of the present application are as follows: Before the concrete 1 is poured, first, a reinforcing steel bar 2 is selected, and two groups of annular detection assemblies 4 are sleeved on the outer side of the reinforcing steel bar 2, and the two groups of annular detection assemblies 4 are arranged in the axial direction. In the circumferential direction of the reinforcing steel bar 2, the arc-shaped detection blocks 5 of each group of annular detection assemblies are connected by an elastic hose 9, and then a plurality of rolling rods 27 are inserted between the surface of the reinforcing steel bar 2 and the arc-shaped detection blocks 5 along the axial direction of the reinforcing steel bar 2, under the elastic pre-tensioning force of the elastic hose 9, the arc-shaped detection blocks 5 are pressed against the rolling rod 27 along the radial direction, and the rolling rod 27 can rolling support the arc-shaped detection blocks 5.
[0027] Then the arc-shaped detection block 5 is pulled back and forth along the circumference to adjust the annular monitoring assembly, the annular monitoring assembly can rotate around the axis of the steel bar 2, under the manual observation of the operator, so that the corrosion pit detection piece avoids the original defects of the steel bar 2, avoids false detection, and finally the tension of the elastic hose 9 of the annular monitoring assembly is kept as uniform as possible to avoid local stress concentration. Since the diameter of the steel bar 2 is greater than the initial inner diameter of the arc-shaped detection block 5 as a whole, after the annular monitoring assembly is installed, the inner rod 13 is displaced inward under the support pressure of the steel bar 2, and in the initial state, the inner rod 13 closes the through hole 12. Then the arc-shaped detection block 5 is installed with the protection tube 25, after installation, the concrete 1 is poured, and attention is paid to lead out the lead wire and the liquid filling pipe. After the concrete 1 is poured and cured, the liquid hydraulic oil is filled into the solution cavity 6 through the introduced liquid filling pipe and the liquid filling joint 10, the hydraulic oil is filled into each solution cavity 6 through the transmission of the elastic hose 9, the hydraulic oil is continuously filled inward, so that the inner side of the solution cavity 6 has a certain initial pressure. When the steel bar 2 surface is corroded, the diameter of the steel bar 2 decreases, the inner rod 13 loses the constraint, and under the support force of the support spring, the inner rod 13 moves outward, under the action of the initial pressure, the hydraulic oil can flow out through the branch channel 17 of the inner rod 13, the pressure in the solution cavity 6 decreases, which can be monitored through the pressure sensor 7 and the displacement sensor 14, the greater the reading value of the displacement sensor 14, the greater the radial displacement distance of the inner rod 13, and the more serious the corrosion of the diameter of the steel bar 2.
[0028] It can be understood that the reading of the pressure sensor 7 is also linearly related to the surface corrosion of the steel bar 2, the more the surface corrosion of the steel bar 2, the greater the inflation of the air bag 18, at this time the pressure in the solution cavity 6 decreases, and the reading of the pressure sensor 7 is smaller, and the micro air bag 18 can fill the hollow area of the corroded steel bar 2 surface.
[0029] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting, although the present application has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
