With the continuous development and improvement of intelligent technology, intelligent bridge monitoring equipment will play an even more important role in the field of bridge engineering in the future, providing strong support for the safe operation and sustainable development of bridges.

[0007] Traditional bridge intelligent monitoring equipment is often installed using bolts and nuts. Due to the miniaturization of bolts and nuts and the need for specialized tools, the installation process is often cumbersome and time-consuming. Installers need to spend more time adjusting and tightening each bolt and nut, which affects installation efficiency and project progress. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the above shortcomings, this invention provides a full-lifecycle intelligent bridge monitoring device, which aims to improve the problem of the cumbersome installation of sensors in some intelligent bridge monitoring devices.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a full-life-cycle intelligent bridge monitoring device, comprising a bridge body, a sensor disposed on the side wall of the bridge body, a limit assembly disposed on the side wall of the bridge body, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the side wall of the sensor, a sliding rod slidably connected inside the connecting frame, a pressing plate fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod, a first spring sleeved on the side wall of the sliding rod, one end of the first spring fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting frame, the other end of the first spring fixedly connected to the side wall of the pressing plate, a locking plate fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod, a locking plate slidably connected to the side wall of the locking plate inside the connecting frame, a second spring fixedly connected between the locking plates, a fixing seat fixedly connected to the side wall of the bridge body, and a locking plate slidably connected to the side wall of the fixing seat.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting plate is provided between each of the adjacent fixed tubes, and one side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, an acrylic cover plate is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate, and a handle is fixedly connected to the side wall of the acrylic cover plate.

The sensor monitors the condition of the bridge and transmits the detection information back to the receiver in real time. The staff can view the bridge information through the receiver.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, the cooperation between the limiting seat, the limiting block, the connecting frame, the sliding rod, the pressing plate, the first spring, the clamping plate, the second spring and the fixing seat achieves the effect of facilitating the installation of the sensor, and solves the problem that the installation of the sensor in some bridge intelligent monitoring equipment is relatively troublesome.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a full-life-cycle intelligent bridge monitoring device, comprising a bridge body 1, a sensor 2 disposed on the side wall of the bridge body 1, a limiting component disposed on the side wall of the bridge body 1, a connecting frame 5 fixedly connected to the side wall of the sensor 2, a sliding rod 6 slidably connected inside the connecting frame 5, a pressing plate 7 fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 6, a first spring 8 sleeved on the side wall of the sliding rod 6, one end of the first spring 8 fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting frame 5, the other end of the first spring 8 fixedly connected to the side wall of the pressing plate 7, a locking plate 9 fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod 6, the side wall of the locking plate 9 slidably connected inside the connecting frame 5, a second spring 10 fixedly connected between the locking plates 9, a fixing seat 11 fixedly connected to the side wall of the bridge body 1, the side wall of the locking plate 9 slidably connected inside the fixing seat 11, and the limiting component comprising a limiting seat 3 and a limiting block 4, the side wall of the limiting seat 3 fixedly connected to the side wall of the bridge body 1, the side wall of the limiting block 4 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sensor 2, and the side wall of the limiting block 4 slidably connected inside the limiting seat 3.

[0021] During the installation of sensor 2, press down on the button plate 7 simultaneously, causing the slide rod 6 to move towards the center position, which in turn causes the locking plate 9 to slide towards the center position inside the connecting frame 5. When the locking plate 9 reaches the center position, the first spring 8 and the second spring 10 will be compressed and contracted simultaneously. After the first spring 8 and the second spring 10 contract, the limiting block 4 at the bottom of sensor 2 is inserted into the limiting seat 3. After the limiting block 4 is connected to the limiting seat 3, release the button plate 7. At this time, the first spring 8 and the second spring 10 will simultaneously lose pressure and return to their original state. The locking plate 9 will be locked inside the fixing seat 11, thereby fixing sensor 2. Sensor 2 will monitor the status of the bridge and transmit the detection information back to the receiver in real time. Staff can view the bridge information through the receiver.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 A connecting arm 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bridge body 1. A fixed frame 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting arm 12. The sensor 2 is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 13. An angle pad 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 13. Multiple fixed tubes 14 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of one fixed frame 13. A rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected inside the fixed tube 14. A connecting plate 16 is provided between adjacent fixed tubes 14. One side of the connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 15. An acrylic cover plate 17 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate 16. A handle 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the acrylic cover plate 17. The side wall of the acrylic cover plate 17 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 13.

[0023] After assembly, the acrylic cover plate 17 is rotated via the pivot 15 to cover the sensor 2, providing ample protection against damage from the external environment. The fixing frame 13 not only stabilizes the sensor 2 and improves its stability but also protects its sidewalls. In this way, the sensor 2 is less susceptible to external influences during use, effectively extending its service life.

[0024] Its installation method includes the following steps: ① When installing sensor 2, press the button 7 to move the slide bar 6 inward, thereby driving the card plate 9 to slide inward inside the connecting frame 5, and causing the first spring 8 and the second spring 10 to be compressed and contracted at the same time. Then insert the limiting block 4 at the bottom of sensor 2 into the limiting seat 3. ② While the limiting block 4 is connected to the limiting seat 3, the locking plate 9 slides into the interior of the fixing seat 11. At this time, the pressing plate 7 is released, and the first spring 8 and the second spring 10 will lose pressure and reset at the same time, locking the locking plate 9 inside the fixing seat 11 to fix the sensor 2. After installation, the acrylic cover plate 17 is moved so that it rotates through the rotating shaft 15 to cover the sensor 2 and protect it. ③ The side wall of sensor 2 is wrapped with a fixed frame 13 to improve the stability of sensor 2 and protect the side wall of sensor 2, which can effectively extend the service life of sensor 2. Sensor 2 monitors the status of the bridge and transmits the detection information back to the receiver in real time. Staff can view the bridge information through the receiver.

[0025] The intelligent bridge monitoring equipment throughout its entire life cycle can monitor and transmit various data about the bridge, mainly including the following aspects: Structural deformation monitoring: Sensors are used to monitor the deformation of the bridge structure, including bridge deck settlement and lateral displacement, to detect structural deformation problems in a timely manner and prevent situations that may lead to safety hazards. Vibration monitoring: Sensors can monitor the vibration of bridges, including natural vibrations and vibrations caused by external excitations. By analyzing the vibration data, the stability and safety of the bridge structure can be assessed.

[0026] Temperature monitoring: The sensors can also monitor temperature changes on the surface and inside of the bridge, detect temperature anomalies in a timely manner, and prevent bridge damage caused by temperature changes.

[0027] Wind load monitoring: By monitoring the impact of wind on bridges, excessive wind loads can be detected in a timely manner, ensuring the safe operation of bridges under adverse weather conditions.

[0028] Data transmission: The monitored data will be transmitted back to the receiver in real time and then transmitted to the terminal devices of relevant management departments or staff via the network, so as to realize remote monitoring and management of the bridge status.

[0029] By monitoring and transmitting this key data, the intelligent bridge monitoring equipment throughout its entire life cycle can help managers understand the bridge's operational status in a timely manner, prevent potential problems from occurring, improve the safety and reliability of the bridge, and extend the bridge's service life.

[0030] The sensor may include multiple sensor units, each responsible for monitoring different parameters, such as structural deformation, vibration, temperature, and wind speed.

[0031] The sensors that perform the above functions mainly include the following types of sensors: Strain sensors: used to monitor the deformation and stress distribution of bridge structures, and can infer the deformation of the structure by measuring the strain of the material.

[0032] Accelerometer: Used to monitor the vibration of bridges, it can detect the acceleration data generated by the bridge during vibration, thereby assessing the stability and safety of the structure.

[0033] Temperature sensors: used to monitor temperature changes on the surface and inside of bridges, which can help detect temperature anomalies and prevent bridge damage caused by temperature changes.

[0034] Wind speed sensor: Used to monitor wind speed and direction, help assess the impact of wind on bridges, and detect excessive wind loads in a timely manner.

[0035] By integrating multiple sensors into a single sensor, comprehensive monitoring and data collection of various aspects of the bridge can be achieved, simplifying equipment installation and management processes and improving monitoring efficiency and accuracy.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
