Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tunnel engineering monitoring technology, and relates to a pipe curtain deflection testing device, method and control system. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the densification of transportation networks, the demand for new tunnels or box culverts passing under existing railway lines is increasing in areas with dense existing transportation facilities such as railways and subways. To reduce the impact of underground construction activities on existing structures, the pipe jacking method is commonly used. This method utilizes horizontal drilling and pipe jacking technology to insert support steel pipes or other prefabricated components around the proposed underground structure, forming an advanced support structure. This method effectively controls surface settlement and reduces the impact of construction on surface traffic. The pipe jacking employs a spiral-driven steel pipe follow-up process. After the steel pipes are pushed into place, concrete is poured inside to form a permanent isolation structure. As a protective structure for the underlying structure, the deflection deformation of the horizontal pipe jacking reflects the effectiveness of the isolation structure in protecting the existing structures.
[0003] However, existing technologies require manual operation of the inclinometer using steel bars or traction devices to monitor deflection. This method is inefficient, the data acquisition is unstable, and there is a certain lag, making it impossible to assess tunnel safety in real time. On the other hand, fixed inclinometers are expensive and cannot be repaired after damage, making them unsuitable for all projects. Automatic inspection instruments also suffer from malfunctions that can cause them to jam inside the inclinometer tube, affecting subsequent monitoring of the project.
[0004] Therefore, an automated monitoring device that is low in cost, provides continuous and effective data monitoring, and whose failure will not affect subsequent work is still needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0026] As a further aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for testing the deflection of a tube curtain, comprising the following steps:
[0027] (I) Preparatory work;
[0028] Based on the layout of the horizontal tube curtain, install the tube curtain deflection testing device as described above.
[0029] The specific process for installing the pipe curtain deflection testing device is as follows:
[0030] Based on the layout of the horizontal pipe curtain, select the required length of inclinometer tube, install induction magnets at fixed intervals inside the inclinometer tube, and install the return tube parallel to the outer wall of the inclinometer tube, keeping the two equal in length;

[0035] Install a power wheel at the tail end of the inclinometer tube;
[0036] (ii) Measure the vertical deflection of the horizontal pipe curtain;
[0037] The first motor of the horizontal inclinometer and the second motor of the power wheel start synchronously to drive the horizontal inclinometer to reciprocate along the central axis of the inclinometer tube under the traction of the wire rope;
[0038] During the movement of the horizontal inclinometer, the position sensor monitors and records the position, displacement value, and displacement velocity of the horizontal inclinometer in real time;
[0039] Based on the data obtained from real-time recording, the deflection curve of the horizontal tube curtain along the vertical direction is plotted.
[0040] As a further aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a pipe curtain deflection test and control system, which is applied to the pipe curtain deflection measuring device as described above, including a control module, a position detection module, a communication module and a monitoring terminal.
[0041] The control module is located inside the inclinometer body and is configured as an embedded microcontroller or PLC, used to receive measurement commands and control motion.
[0042] The position detection module includes at least two sets of position sensors disposed on the inclinometer body, used to acquire real-time position information, displacement information and displacement velocity information of the inclinometer body in the inclinometer tube;
[0043] The communication module is configured as a wireless communication unit, used to transmit the raw data collected by the position detection module to the monitoring terminal;
[0044] The monitoring terminal includes:
[0045] ① Fit the motion trajectory of the horizontal inclinometer based on the received raw data to obtain the smooth displacement-time curve of the horizontal inclinometer at each moment;
[0046] ② Based on the smooth displacement-time curve of the horizontal inclinometer at each moment, the deflection is calculated to obtain the continuous deflection distribution curve;
[0047] ③ Visualize the display.
[0048] Furthermore, the specific process of obtaining the smooth displacement-time curve of the horizontal inclinometer at each moment is as follows:
[0049] The raw data includes the trigger point sequence between the position sensor and the sensing magnet, the real-time position information of the position sensor, the displacement of the position sensor, the displacement velocity of the position sensor, and the timestamp when the communication module transmits the data.

[0051] By combining the information from multiple continuously collected original points and processing it in a time series, a set of original position points along the axis of the inclinometer tube is formed.
[0052] The multi-segment spline fitting method is used to fit and smooth the information of individual original points in the original location point set, so as to obtain the smooth displacement-time curve of the horizontal inclinometer at each moment.
[0053] Furthermore, the specific process for obtaining the continuous deflection distribution curve is as follows:
[0054] i. Based on the tilt angle detection unit built into the horizontal inclinometer, the tilt angle change information of the horizontal inclinometer during the displacement process is transmitted to the monitoring terminal; the tilt angle change information includes tilt angle data at several moments.
[0055] ii.

The continuous function form, This is expressed as the change in inclination angle with the position of the inclinometer tube section;
[0056] iii. Based on the tilt angle-position relationship of the horizontal inclinometer, by... Integrating along the central axis of the inclinometer tube yields the relative displacement curve of the tube axis;
[0057] iv. Repeat steps ii and iii to process the tilt angle data and original point information at several times one by one to obtain several relative displacement curves of the pipe axis;
[0058] v. The relative displacement curves of several pipe axes are averaged, superimposed, and weighted in sequence to offset the influence of environmental disturbances on a single measurement, and finally the continuous deflection distribution curve is obtained.
[0059] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

This avoids the wire rope from easily getting tangled in the pipe when it is long. Moreover, the present invention has the function of fully automatic measurement, and only one operator is needed to complete all measurement operations.
[0061] (2) In this invention, by setting up a wiring assembly, and the wiring assembly adopts a structure that combines a guide wheel with a self-resetting spring structure, the wire rope and the inclinometer's movement axis always pass through the center of the pipe, thus avoiding the wire rope from sweeping the wall, getting tangled, or getting stuck.

[0085] Preferably, a first groove for installing the return tube 2 is provided on the outer surface of the inclinometer tube 1; and a second groove for installing the guide wheel 51 is also provided on the inner wall of the inclinometer tube 1.

Based on the tilt angle detection unit built into the horizontal inclinometer, the tilt angle change information of the horizontal inclinometer during the displacement process is transmitted to the monitoring terminal; the tilt angle change information includes tilt angle data at several moments.
[0131] ii. The monitoring terminal aligns the tilt angle data at each moment with the information of a single raw point at each moment to obtain the tilt angle-position relationship curve and construct... The continuous function form, This is expressed as the change in inclination angle with the position of the inclinometer tube section;
[0132] iii. Based on the tilt angle-position relationship of the horizontal inclinometer, by... Integrating along the central axis of the inclinometer tube yields the relative displacement curve of the tube axis;
[0133] iv. Repeat steps ii and iii to process the tilt angle data and original point information at several times one by one to obtain several relative displacement curves of the pipe axis;
[0134] v. The relative displacement curves of several pipe axes are averaged, superimposed, and weighted sequentially to offset the influence of environmental disturbances on a single measurement, and finally a high-precision continuous deflection distribution curve is obtained.
[0135] Further optimized, the final continuous deflection distribution curve is formed by fusing the following three types of data:
[0136] 1. The time series of inclination angles recorded by the horizontal inclinometer 5 as it moves back and forth along the pipeline;
[0137] 2. The absolute positioning reference provided by position sensor 8 and magnetic trigger point;
[0138] 3. Repeated curves from multiple round trip measurements are fitted and weighted averaged to improve stability. The continuous deflection distribution curve reflects the real-time, spatially continuous deflection deformation state of the inclinometer along the entire length of the pipe curtain.
[0139] Furthermore, after obtaining the continuous deflection distribution curve, the monitoring terminal can: automatically identify abnormal deflection segments, settlement concentration areas, and abrupt change points; compare and analyze deflection curves measured at different times to form a deflection change trend chart; output early warning information to determine whether the pipe jacking has experienced excessive deformation; generate visual reports to support structural safety assessments by construction and monitoring units; and link with external monitoring systems (such as ground settlement and shield tunneling attitude monitoring) to achieve comprehensive early warning. Through trajectory fitting, integral deflection calculation, and multiple measurement superposition corrections, the monitoring terminal can generate high-precision continuous deflection monitoring curves, forming a real-time, full-process, and traceable monitoring system for the deformation state of the pipe jacking.
[0140] Preferably, the multi-point data can be reconstructed using interpolation or fitting algorithms to reconstruct the complete movement trajectory of the inclinometer at each moment. This method can accurately determine the real-time position of the inclinometer tube 1.
