TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge cable detection, in particular to a cable internal steel wire corrosion and broken wire guided wave detection monitoring device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a key structural component, cables are widely used in bridge, tower, large building and many other engineering fields. The main function of the cable is to bear tension and ensure the stability and safety of the structure. Due to long-term exposure to complex and changeable environment, the internal steel wire of the cable is easily eroded by external factors. Corrosion not only weakens the strength and toughness of the steel wire, but also may cause the steel wire to break.
[0003] At present, there are many limitations in the detection method of the internal steel wire of the cable. The traditional detection method mainly relies on manual visual inspection, but this method can only detect the damage on the surface of the cable, and it is difficult to accurately judge the corrosion and broken wire of the internal steel wire. In addition, some non-destructive testing techniques, such as ultrasonic testing and radiographic testing, can detect internal defects to some extent, but for the special structure of the cable, the detection effect is not ideal, and there are problems such as low detection precision, limited detection range, complex operation process and high detection cost.

[0023] S5, start all the magnetostrictive wave detectors, the magnetostrictive wave detectors emit the magnetostrictive wave signals to the inside of the cable and receive the reflected signals, the corrosion degree and the number of broken wires of the steel wires in the cable are identified by analyzing the characteristics of the reflected signals, and the detection data are transmitted to the electronic information board in real time, and the electronic information board displays and classifies the data for storage, so that the operator can view the data in real time and trace the data subsequently.

The protective cavity corresponds to the electric push rod one 18 and the moving block 19 and is used for shielding rainwater and dust, avoiding the erosion of the driving assembly caused by the outdoor environment.
[0050] Reference Figures 5-9The extrusion mechanism 9 comprises extrusion grooves opened on opposite sides of the ring keel one 1 and the ring keel two 2, the inside of the two extrusion grooves is provided with an extrusion plate 902, the top of the two extrusion plates 902 is fixedly installed with a plurality of evenly distributed anti-skid strips 904 made of rubber material for increasing the friction between the extrusion plate 902 and the surface of the cable; the inside of the two extrusion grooves is fixedly installed with an electric push rod two 903 and two symmetrically distributed telescopic bases 901, the inside of the two telescopic bases 901 is movably installed with a telescopic rod, the two telescopic rods are fixedly connected with the extrusion plate 902 for assisting the stable movement of the extrusion plate 902 and ensuring that the extrusion plate 902 is uniformly attached to the surface of the cable; the telescopic end of the electric push rod two 903 is fixedly connected with the extrusion plate 902, the extrusion plate 902 is driven to move close to or away from the cable through the telescopic driving of the electric push rod two 903, and the positioning and unlocking of the device are realized;
[0051] Further, the telescopic assembly comprises two groups of fixed blocks 601 fixedly installed at the bottom of the ring keel one 1, each group of fixed blocks 601 is divided into two and symmetrically distributed, a linkage plate 602 is arranged between the two fixed blocks 601, a rotating shaft is installed between the linkage plate 602 and the two fixed blocks 601, the rotating shaft is used to limit the linkage plate 602 to rotate only along the fixed axis, so as to avoid structural deviation when the keels are separated, one side of the ring keel two 2 is provided with two moving grooves for the movement of the linkage plate 602, a moving plate 605 is connected between the two linkage plates 602, a fixed groove for the movement of the moving plate 605 is arranged between the two moving grooves, the moving plate 605 is used to synchronously drive the movement of the two linkage plates 602, so as to ensure that the openings on both sides are uniform when the ring keel one 1 and the ring keel two 2 are separated, one side of the ring keel two 2 is inserted with two positioning plates 604, the two positioning plates 604 are matched with the moving plate 605, the locking of the moving plate 605 is realized through the positioning holes inserted into the moving plate 605, the safety requirement of high-altitude operation is met, the control rod 603 is fixedly installed on one side of the two positioning plates 604 extending to one side of the ring keel two 2, the insertion and extraction of the positioning plate 604 is facilitated, the side of the fixed block 601 is fixedly installed with an abutting block 606 matched with the ring keel one 1, which is used to limit the maximum opening angle of the ring keel one 1 and the ring keel two 2, and prevent the linkage plate 602 or the rotating shaft from being damaged due to excessive operation force;

The fixing block 601 provides stable rotational support for the linkage plate 602. The linkage plate 602, in cooperation with the moving plate 605, converts the keel rotation into precise displacement. The combination of the control rod 603 and the positioning plate 604 enables quick locking and unlocking under single-person operation.

An upper fixing plate 12 is fixedly installed between the two control plates 10 and a lower fixing plate 13 is fixedly installed between the two extension blocks 11. The upper fixing plate 12 and the lower fixing plate 13 are used to enhance the structural strength of the annular keel 1 and annular keel 2 and prevent the keel from deforming when the device moves or is tested.
[0055] It should be noted that the combination of the magnetostrictive guided wave detector and the adjustment mechanism in this embodiment is not a redundant design, but rather based on the dual requirements of "signal integrity" and "cable shape adaptability" in the actual scenario of cable detection. The specific logic is as follows:
[0056] Firstly, there is a small assembly gap at the interface between the ring keel 1 and the ring keel 2 due to splicing, which will cause local attenuation of the magnetostrictive guided wave signal when propagating to the cable area corresponding to the interface. Even if the magnetostrictive detectors 16 are evenly distributed on the inner ring plastic keel 15, the attenuated signal may still distort the detection data of the cable area near the interface. By adjusting the mechanism to fine-tune the inner ring plastic keel 15 and the detector as a whole, rather than just fixing the detector at the interface, the detector can be dynamically adjusted in the circumferential direction to avoid the signal attenuation area caused by the gap and directly aim at the cable body, reducing signal interference and avoiding secondary review caused by data distortion, thereby improving detection efficiency.
[0057] Secondly, in actual engineering, the cable is not absolutely regular cylindrical, and may have slight eccentricity, local surface protrusions and other shape deviations. If only additional detectors are fixed at the interface, they can cover the interface area, but the evenly distributed other detectors may deviate from the optimal detection distance due to the shape deviation of the cable. The adjusting mechanism can drive all the magnetostrictive detectors 16 to fine-tune synchronously along the limiting arc groove through the meshing transmission of the rack plate 20 and the half-tooth ring 14, so as to ensure that all the detectors including the interface can maintain the optimal detection distance with the cable surface, which not only solves the problem of signal attenuation at the interface, but also takes into account the overall detection accuracy under the shape deviation of the cable, avoiding detection blind area or abnormal data caused by improper spacing of local detectors
[0058] A method for detecting the corrosion and wire breakage of the internal steel wire of a cable, comprising the following steps:
[0059] S1, using the telescopic assembly, a single person pulls the control rod 603 outward to drive the two positioning plates 604 to synchronously separate from the positioning holes of the moving plate 605, and pushes the ring keel 1 to rotate around the rotating shaft of the linkage plate 602, so that the linkage plate 602 moves in the moving groove, and then separates the ring keel 1 from the ring keel 2 to form an opening.
