Currently, the load-bearing capacity of concrete poles is tested by measuring their bending moment and deflection. This test requires pulling a chain hoist to provide lateral tension, and professional personnel to operate instruments and record the readings. The entire process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and the process may cause irreversible damage due to excessive force, leading to inaccurate measurements. Furthermore, the results of manual testing have a large margin of error. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a fully automatic concrete pole inspection method and equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A fully automatic method and apparatus for detecting concrete poles are disclosed. The apparatus includes a concrete pole, a tail clamping and fixing component fixed to the outer surface of the tail of the concrete pole, the tail clamping and fixing component being spiral-shaped to limit the displacement of the concrete pole, a support plate supporting the middle of the concrete pole, a winch connected to the head of the concrete pole via a pull rope, the winch being used to apply tension to the concrete pole, a tension sensor being provided on the pull rope for measuring the tension, the tension sensor and the winch being connected to a main control device, and a deflection sensor connected to the other side of the head of the concrete pole, the deflection sensor being electrically connected to the main control device for measuring the displacement of the head of the concrete pole.

[0006] The above structural design ensures that the concrete pole has a certain amount of leeway at the tail end, preventing the concrete pole from breaking due to sudden changes in tension. Furthermore, the influence of the leeway on deflection measurement is eliminated by using a needle-type displacement sensor.

[0019] Step 5: Based on the data automatic identification and verification system, the mechanical load values in the generated electronic report are compared and analyzed with the national standard values for cement poles. If the detected value exceeds the rated threshold, the cement pole is automatically determined to be unqualified in terms of bearing capacity.

[0023] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: Fully automated concrete pole testing equipment can accurately test the mechanical properties of cement poles, improving the quality and efficiency of cement pole testing, realizing the digitalization and automation of testing, and reducing the intensity of manual labor.
[0024] 1. Replace manual operation with an electric motor loading system. The loading motor is automatically provided with lateral tension by an electronic control program, which precisely controls the length of the pull rope and the tension value, eliminating human operation errors.
[0025] 2. Multi-sensor collaborative working mechanism The loading motor is started and stopped by dynamic feedback control of the tension sensor (it stops when the set tension value is reached), ensuring the accuracy and safety of the detection process.

[0033] The above structural design ensures that the tail of the concrete pole has a certain amount of leeway to avoid the concrete pole breaking due to sudden changes in tension, and the influence of the leeway on deflection measurement is eliminated by the needle displacement sensor 1.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the detection method is as follows: Step 1: Use the main control equipment to control the winch, which applies lateral tension to the concrete pole, precisely controlling the length of the rope and the tension value to eliminate human error; Winch motor output torque The calculation formula is: in To set the tension (kN), The diameter of the winch drum (m) is the diameter of the winch drum. For mechanical efficiency and satisfying .
[0035] rope length control accuracy satisfy:
[0036] in This represents the number of encoder pulses for the motor. The lead of the lead screw (mm) This is the reduction ratio.
[0037] Step 2: Set the detection process cycle through the time relay in the main control equipment. Set the detection process for concrete poles to operate once every 3 minutes. The time relay controls the winch to increase the pulling force at fixed time intervals to build a fully closed-loop automatic detection process. Detection cycle timing control:

[0046] Step 5: Based on the data automatic identification and verification system, the mechanical load values in the generated electronic report are compared and analyzed with the national standard values for cement poles. If the detected value exceeds the rated threshold, the concrete pole bearing capacity is automatically determined to be unqualified.
[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, when step 3 meets any triggering condition to trigger a fracture warning, the winch 5 is stopped, the concrete pole is determined to be unqualified, and a structured electronic report is generated to prevent the concrete pole from breaking and causing danger through fracture warning.
[0048] The trigger condition for the fracture warning is a downward shift in the actual tensile force curve, and the imminent fracture is judged by the sudden change in tensile force before fracture.
[0049] The trigger condition for the fracture early warning is that the deflection change deviates from the predicted change curve. The monitoring will be upgraded from a static threshold to a trend early warning, capturing early signals of structural performance degradation, realizing advanced prediction of structural failure, and improving safety.
[0050] The prediction method is as follows: Step a, obtaining and preprocessing sample data, determining the specific structural parameters of the input layer, hidden layer and output layer of the population top, establishing a new BP neural network using the newff function in MATLAB software, with BTF (Bayesian topological function) as the training function and BLF (Bayesian Laplace approximation method) as the learning algorithm to obtain the initial population; Step b: Calculate the fitness value of the particle, determine the individual extreme value and the global optimal extreme value, update the velocity and displacement of the particle to obtain the particle fitness update value, iterate multiple times until the error reaches the expected value or the set maximum number of iterations, and output the optimal weight and threshold. Step c: Assign optimal weights and thresholds to the neural network, train the network, and calculate the error; Step d: If E < ε is not satisfied, repeat step c. After E < ε is satisfied, predict the deflection change of the first displacement point in the second time period. E is the error value, which is the absolute difference between the actual displacement and the predicted displacement of the first displacement point in the first time period. ε is the maximum error range, which is 10% of the actual displacement.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
