Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to an automated monitoring device that integrates tilt angle and vibration. Background Technology

[0002] Long-span bridges, high-rise buildings, and large-span spatial structures such as stadiums, airport terminals, and theaters require simultaneous monitoring of tilt angle and vibration parameters to reveal the structure's safety status from both static and dynamic perspectives. Currently, a common solution is to install both a tilt sensor and a vibration sensor simultaneously to provide a more comprehensive and accurate structural safety assessment.

[0003] The integration of tilt and vibration detection in existing technologies has been disclosed in the patent with publication number CN118425316A, which describes a low-frequency vibration sensor, tilt sensor, and structural safety monitoring device. However, existing technologies also need to consider the fact that the installation points of existing monitoring devices are diverse, and the installation methods also need to be set up according to different monitoring points, such as using steel reinforcement clamps or expansion bolts for fixing. The above methods have poor applicability and there is room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing an automated monitoring device that integrates tilt angle and vibration.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automated monitoring device integrating tilt angle and vibration, comprising: The housing contains an integrated unit and a power supply unit. The integrated unit contains a tilt sensor for detecting vibration frequency and amplitude. The connecting mechanism is located on the housing, and two sets of fixing clamps extending outwards are arranged opposite each other inside the housing. An adjustment mechanism is provided in the center of the housing, which is used to move the two sets of fixing rods away from or towards each other to fix them to the mounting surface.

[0006] Furthermore, the two sets of fixed clamping rods are arranged in parallel, and each set of fixed clamping rods has a driven locking tooth on its opposite side; The two sets of fixed clamps are respectively provided with fixed crossbars at their disjoint ends; The fixed clamp and its end fixed crossbar are combined in an L-shape.

[0007] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment shaft, an adjustment gear, and an adjustment knob; The adjusting gear is positioned between the two sets of fixed clamping rods and meshes with the two sets of driven clamping teeth respectively, so as to drive the two sets of fixed clamping rods to move relative to each other when it rotates. The adjusting shaft is located at the center of the adjusting gear and extends to the outside of the housing; The adjustment knob is located at the top of the adjustment shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also includes a locking structure; The locking structure includes a locking toothed disc fixedly mounted on the adjusting shaft and a locking tooth groove formed on the housing and corresponding to the locking toothed disc; The locking structure also includes an abutting spring. The adjusting shaft is slidably disposed within the adjusting gear, and the abutting spring is used to abut the adjusting shaft and engage the locking gear plate thereon with the locking groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the two sets of fixed crossbars are rotatably mounted at the ends of the fixed clamping rods; The fixed crossbar can rotate 90 degrees at the end of the fixed clamp.

[0010] Furthermore, elastic mechanisms are provided on both sides of the fixed crossbar; The elastic mechanism includes a movable plate and an elastic unit disposed within a fixed crossbar and in contact with the movable plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the fixing clamp rod away from the fixing crossbar is provided with anti-disengagement teeth.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in: In this invention, the user can rotate the adjustment knob on the outside of the housing to transmit power to the adjustment gear through the adjustment shaft. The rotation of the adjustment gear and its meshing with the driven clamping teeth can drive the two sets of fixed clamping rods to move away from or closer to each other until the fixed crossbar contacts the mounting surface. Alternatively, the two sets of fixed crossbars can be rotated until the housing is perpendicular, which can then be fixedly clamped to the surface of a steel structure or column structure with a width greater than the housing to achieve monitoring. It is also designed such that when the fixed crossbar clamps or abuts against the target surface, the movable plate contacts the target surface, and the elastic unit applies a certain elastic force to the movable plate to ensure the stability of long-term installation.

[0015] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-6 This invention discloses an automated monitoring device integrating tilt angle and vibration, comprising: The housing 1 contains an integrated unit 2 and a power supply unit 3. The integrated unit 2 contains a tilt sensor for detecting vibration frequency and amplitude. Specifically, the tilt sensor is essentially an acceleration sensor. When the sensor is stationary, it monitors the tilt angle based on gravitational acceleration. When the sensor is in motion, in addition to being affected by the gravitational field, it is also subject to external superimposed acceleration. The vibration frequency and amplitude can be calculated by frequency domain analysis by monitoring the acceleration values ​​of the three mutually perpendicular sensitive axes X, Y, and Z. The connecting mechanism 4 is disposed on the housing 1, and two sets of fixing clamps 5 extending outward are disposed inside it. An adjustment mechanism 6 is provided in the center of the housing 1. The adjustment mechanism 6 is used to drive the two sets of fixed clamps 5 to move away from or towards each other to fix them on the mounting surface.

[0017] In view of the problem that monitoring equipment is difficult to install in the prior art, the connection mechanism 4 proposed in this application can extend outside the housing 1 during use to be fixedly installed in the gap of the building.

[0018] To achieve the above effect, specifically, the two sets of fixed clamping rods 5 are arranged in parallel, and each set of fixed clamping rods 5 is provided with a driven locking tooth 51 on the opposite side; The two sets of fixed clamping rods 5 are respectively provided with fixed crossbars 52 at their opposite ends; The fixed clamp 5 and its end fixed crossbar 52 are combined in an L-shape.

[0019] It should be further noted that the adjustment mechanism 6 includes an adjustment shaft 61, an adjustment gear 62, and an adjustment knob 63; The adjusting gear 62 is disposed between the two sets of fixed clamping rods 5 and meshes with the two sets of driven clamping teeth 51 respectively, so as to drive the two sets of fixed clamping rods 5 to move relative to each other when it rotates. The adjusting shaft 61 is located at the center of the adjusting gear 62 and extends to the outside of the housing 1; The adjustment knob 63 is located at the top of the adjustment shaft 61.

[0020] With the above-mentioned structural configuration, during use, the user can rotate the adjustment knob 63 on the outside of the housing 1 to transmit power to the adjustment gear 62 through the adjustment shaft 61. The rotation of the adjustment gear 62 and its meshing with the driven clamping tooth 51 will drive the two sets of fixed clamping rods 5 to move away from or towards each other until the fixed crossbar 52 contacts the mounting surface.

[0021] As is easy to imagine, when the fixed crossbar 52 comes into contact with the mounting surface, the fixed clamp 5 needs to be fixed, so the adjustment mechanism 6 also includes a locking structure. The locking structure includes a locking toothed disc 64 fixedly mounted on the adjusting shaft 61 and a locking toothed groove 65 opened on the housing 1 and corresponding to the locking toothed disc 64; The locking structure also includes an abutment spring 66. The adjusting shaft 61 is slidably disposed within the adjusting gear 62. The abutment spring 66 is used to abut the adjusting shaft 61, and the locking gear 64 on it is engaged in the locking groove 65.

[0022] With the above-described structure, when no external force is applied, the abutment spring 66 abuts against the locking toothed disc 64 to engage with the locking toothed groove 65. When the user needs to make adjustments, the adjusting shaft 61 can be pressed down to disengage the locking toothed disc 64 from the locking toothed groove 65. Then, the position of the fixing clamp 5 can be adjusted by rotation. After the adjustment is completed, the external force disappears, and the abutment spring 66 can push the locking toothed disc 64 to re-engage with the locking toothed groove 65, thereby achieving locking and ensuring stable clamping.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the two sets of fixed crossbars 52 are rotatably disposed at the ends of the fixed clamping rods 5; The fixed crossbar 52 can rotate 90 degrees at the end of the fixed clamp 5.

[0024] like Figure 5As shown, when the two sets of fixed crossbars 52 rotate to be perpendicular to the shell 1, they can be fixedly clamped to the surface of the steel structure or column structure with a width greater than that of the shell 1 to achieve monitoring.

[0025] To further improve the stability after clamping and avoid the situation where the material shrinks and the fixation fails due to long-term use or temperature changes, in another preferred embodiment, elastic mechanisms are provided on both sides of the fixing crossbar 52. The elastic mechanism includes a movable plate 521 and an elastic unit 522 disposed within the fixed crossbar 52 and in contact with the movable plate 521.

[0026] With the above structural configuration, the equipment has a flexible contact force with the target mounting surface. Specifically, when the fixed crossbar 52 clamps or abuts against the target surface, the movable plate 521 contacts the target surface, while the elastic unit 522 applies a certain elastic force to the movable plate 521 to ensure the feasibility of long-term installation.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the end of the fixed clamping rod 5 away from the fixed crossbar 52 is provided with an anti-detachment locking tooth 511. The anti-detachment locking tooth 511 is provided to prevent the fixed clamping rod 5 from extending excessively and protruding outside the connecting mechanism 4 during adjustment.

[0028] Finally, it is easy to imagine that a connecting piece (not shown in the figure) should also be provided on the housing 1 for the installation of this testing equipment in the case of a completely flat mounting surface. Since this structure is a conventional technical means, it is not described in detail in this application.

[0029] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0030] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0031] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. 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.
