Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of water conservancy engineering construction equipment, and in particular relates to an adjustable vibration device for pouring concrete for the spiral casing of a hydropower station unit. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of large-scale hydropower stations and other water conservancy projects, the turbine casing, as a core flow-through component, directly affects the safe, stable operation and service life of the entire unit due to the quality of its concrete pouring. To ensure the density, strength, and uniformity of the concrete and to eliminate internal air bubbles and pores, vibration is an indispensable and crucial step in the concrete pouring process.

[0003] Currently, for concrete pouring with complex three-dimensional irregular curved surfaces like volutes, handheld or simple fixed vibrators are commonly used. However, this traditional method has significant technical drawbacks. First, the unique geometry of the volute structure makes it difficult for the vibrator to achieve precise positioning and effective contact at all predetermined points, especially on inclined surfaces and in areas with significant curvature changes, making it difficult to guarantee the vibration effect.

[0004] More importantly, the vibration quality of existing technologies relies entirely on the operator's personal experience and subjective judgment. Operators judge the degree of concrete vibration by listening to the sound, looking for air bubbles, and relying on touch. This method lacks a unified, objective, and quantitative standard, which easily leads to inconsistent construction quality. In practice, under-vibration or over-vibration occurs frequently. Under-vibration can cause defects such as honeycomb and pitting inside the concrete, while over-vibration can cause segregation. Both of these can seriously affect the structural safety performance.

[0005] Furthermore, in large-scale continuous operations, relying solely on manual memory and marking for management can easily lead to missed vibration points, resulting in weak structural areas. Simultaneously, the lack of systematic data recording throughout the vibration process makes it impossible to effectively trace the construction process and assign responsibility if concrete quality problems are discovered later, posing significant challenges to project quality control and assessment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adjustable vibration device for pouring concrete for the spiral casing of hydropower station units. This device solves the technical problems of existing vibration devices, such as difficulty in accurately adjusting the vibration position when facing complex curved surfaces like the spiral casing of hydropower stations, resulting in missed vibrations; excessive reliance on operator experience for vibration quality, leading to unstable quality due to a lack of objective judgment standards; and lack of construction process data, making it impossible to achieve quality traceability.

[0012] Preferably, the vibrating assembly includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the base plate. A flexible shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and an acoustic vibrating rod is fixedly connected to the end of the flexible shaft away from the motor.

[0013] Preferably, the closed-loop quality monitoring system includes: A sensor module is disposed at the front end of the acoustic vibrator, the sensor module including an accelerometer and an acoustic sensor; The accelerometer is used to collect the acceleration signal fed back by the sonic vibrator when it vibrates in the concrete in real time, so as to characterize the damping characteristics and density of the concrete.

Compared to traditional fixed or manually adjustable devices, this invention can flexibly adapt to the construction requirements of irregular curved surfaces such as the spiral casing of hydropower station units, ensuring that the vibrator accurately reaches the preset working point, thus improving the versatility and construction accuracy of the device.

The latter automatically links and stores the spatial coordinates, operation time, quality results, and operator information of each vibration point, forming an immutable digital construction log, providing reliable data for later auditing and traceability of project quality.

[0028] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 The vibrating assembly includes a motor 19, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the base plate 3. A flexible shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 19, and an acoustic vibrating rod 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the flexible shaft 5 away from the motor 19.

[0029] Specifically, the motor 19 serves as a power source, converting electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy to provide the initial power for the vibration operation; the base plate 3 provides a stable mounting base for the motor 19, ensuring its stable operation; the flexible shaft 5 flexibly and remotely transmits the rotational motion output by the motor 19 to the sonic vibrator 6, allowing it to be flexibly arranged at different vibration points; the sonic vibrator 6 generates high-frequency mechanical vibration under the drive of the flexible shaft 5, and transmits this vibrational energy to the concrete into which it is inserted, thereby reducing the adhesion and friction between concrete aggregates, expelling trapped air bubbles and excess moisture, and thus improving the density and uniformity of the concrete.

[0030] Please see the appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 7 The fixing component includes two connecting rings 14, both of which are slidably connected to the outside of the limiting rod 4.

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 One of the fixing blocks 15 is fixedly connected to the outer side of a vibration motor 16, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the end of the limit rod 4. The frame 1 is fixedly connected to the side of a housing 10, and the housing 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of a generator 20.

[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 The closed-loop quality monitoring system provided by this invention aims to offer a technical solution for determining the vibration status, calibrating the vibration position, and recording construction data, thereby solving the technical problem of reduced concrete pouring quality caused by improper control of vibration time and position. The closed-loop quality monitoring system may include: a status perception subsystem 30, an intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40, a spatial positioning and anti-leakage vibration subsystem 50, and a data recording and quality traceability subsystem 60.

[0035] The state-sensing subsystem 30 is located at the internal front end of the acoustic vibrator 6. It includes a sensor module containing an accelerometer and an acoustic sensor. The accelerometer is used to collect the vibration acceleration signal generated by the interaction between the vibrator and the concrete medium during operation. Acoustic sensors are used to collect acoustic pressure signals generated during the same process by the escape of gas from inside the concrete or by the friction of aggregate particle displacement. The output terminals of the accelerometer and acoustic sensor are electrically connected to the input terminal of the intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40 via shielded signal lines.

[0036] The intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40 includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a human-machine interface alarm module connected to it. The CPU is configured to receive acceleration signals. Harmony and acoustic signals The central processing unit's built-in vibration state determination algorithm model extracts vibration energy by performing time-domain and frequency-domain analysis on the input signal. Master frequency sound pressure level Harmony and acoustic frequency Multidimensional feature vectors The central processing unit compares the real-time calculated feature vector V with the pre-stored reference feature vector sets of under-vibration, optimal, and over-vibration states in the feature database using Euclidean or Mahalanobis distance. When the matching degree exceeds a preset threshold, the corresponding vibration status result signal is output. The human-machine interaction alarm module includes a three-color status indicator light 22 mounted on the frame 1. It receives the vibration status result signal and displays red, green, or yellow to indicate three working states: under-vibration, vibration completed, or over-vibration risk, respectively.

[0037] The spatial positioning and anti-leakage vibrator system 50 includes a positioning beacon installed on the upper section of the acoustic vibrator 6, and multiple positioning base stations pre-positioned within the volute casting chamber before construction. The positioning base stations and the positioning beacon communicate via ultra-wideband pulse signals. The system calculates the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the positioning beacon by determining the signal arrival time difference or angle. The closed-loop quality monitoring system will use this coordinate. The system is registered with the vibration point grid in the pre-loaded building information model. When the intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40 outputs a vibration completion signal, the system will register with the coordinate... Mark the corresponding grid points and update their visualization on the display terminal, for example, by changing the color from red to green.

[0038] The data recording and quality traceability subsystem 60 includes a memory and data management software connected to a central processing unit. For each vibration operation point, the data recording and quality traceability subsystem 60 is configured to create a data entry. This data entry is associated with and stores the following information: the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the point provided by the spatial positioning and leak-proof vibration subsystem 50. The data includes the start and end timestamps of the vibration operation, the final vibration status result determined by the intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40, and the current operator's identification code. All data entries are combined to form a digital construction log.

[0039] The specific structure and working principle of the state perception subsystem 30 in the closed-loop quality monitoring system are given below.

[0040] The state-aware subsystem 30 includes a sensor module. The sensor module is integrated into a cylindrical, sealed housing made of stainless steel or ceramic material. The interior of the housing is potted with epoxy resin to secure the internal components and provide impact resistance and waterproofing. The sensor module is securely mounted in a pre-designed cavity inside the front end of the acoustic vibrator 6 to ensure that the signals it acquires directly reflect the interaction between the working end of the acoustic vibrator 6 and the concrete medium.

[0041] The sensor module integrates a triaxial accelerometer and an acoustic sensor. The accelerometer continuously measures and outputs real-time acceleration signals of the acoustic vibrator 6 in three orthogonal directions. Changes in the density of concrete cause alterations in its damping coefficient to vibration, which are directly reflected in the acceleration signal. On the amplitude and frequency components.

[0042] The closed-loop quality monitoring system can monitor the quality based on the collected acceleration signals. Calculate vibration energy The calculation formula is: ; in, For a time window Vibrational energy within For real-time acceleration signals, This is the start time of the time window. In the under-vibration state, the concrete damping is large. The value is relatively low; as vibration reaches its optimal state, the concrete tends to liquefy, and the damping decreases. The value will increase and reach a stable peak; if excessive vibration occurs, media segregation will lead to the destruction of homogeneity. The value may fluctuate irregularly or decrease.

[0043] The acoustic sensor is either a piezoelectric acoustic sensor or a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microphone, used to collect acoustic pressure signals generated inside the concrete around the working end of the acoustic vibrator 6. This signal It incorporates specific acoustic characteristics at different vibration stages. In the initial stage of vibration, a large number of air bubbles escape, generating low-frequency, discontinuous acoustic signals. As the concrete compacts, the friction and collision between aggregate particles generate higher-frequency, more continuous acoustic signals.

[0044] The state sensing subsystem 30 transmits the acquired acceleration signal through a multi-core shielded cable. Harmony and acoustic pressure signals The data is transmitted in real time to the intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40. The cable extends from the sensor module and is laid along the central channel inside the acoustic vibrator 6 to avoid interference from the external environment and the equipment's own power system.

[0045] The specific structure and working principle of the intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40 in the closed-loop quality monitoring system are given below.

[0046] The intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40 includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a human-machine interface alarm module electrically connected to it. The CPU is integrated onto a circuit board and encapsulated in an IP67-rated waterproof control box mounted on frame 1. The CPU receives acceleration signals from the state perception subsystem 30 via a bandpass filter and an analog-to-digital converter. Harmony and acoustic signals It is then converted into a discrete digital signal sequence.

[0047] The central processing unit is configured to execute a vibration state determination algorithm model. This algorithm model first preprocesses the input digital signal sequence, transforming it from the time domain to the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform to obtain the acceleration spectrum. Harmony Acoustic Spectrum Subsequently, the algorithm model extracts a multi-dimensional feature vector V from the time-domain and frequency-domain signals. This feature vector V includes, but is not limited to, vibration energy. Acceleration frequency sound pressure level Harmony acoustic main frequency F s .

[0048] The central processing unit internally stores a pre-defined feature database. This database contains three sets of benchmark feature vectors obtained through extensive experimental calibration: under-vibration state benchmark vectors. Optimal state reference vector and over-vibration state reference vector The central processing unit calculates real-time feature vectors. Mahalanobis distance between each reference eigenvector To determine the current vibration condition. The calculation formula is: ; in, Real-time feature vector With reference eigenvectors Mahalanobis distance between them for , or one of the, Let be the covariance matrix of the eigenvectors under this baseline state. This represents the matrix transpose. When a certain... The value is less than the preset judgment threshold. When this happens, the system determines the current state to be the reference vector. The corresponding state.

[0049] The human-machine interface alarm module includes a tri-color status indicator 22 mounted on frame 1 in an easily observable location. The tri-color status indicator 22 is connected to a GPIO port of the central processing unit (CPU). When the CPU determines an under-vibration state, it drives the indicator to display red; when it determines an optimal state, it drives it to display green; and when it determines an over-vibration state, it drives it to display yellow and flash at a frequency of 1Hz. In this way, clear and unambiguous operating instructions are provided to the operator.

[0050] The specific structure and working principle of the spatial positioning and anti-leakage oscillator system 50 in the closed-loop quality monitoring system are given below.

[0051] The spatial positioning and anti-leakage vibrator system 50 includes a positioning beacon, at least three positioning base stations, and a display terminal. The positioning beacon is fixedly installed on the upper part of each acoustic vibrator 6 near its operating end. The positioning base stations are arranged in fixed positions within the volute construction chamber according to a predetermined geometry before the concrete pouring operation begins. Both the positioning beacon and the positioning base stations have built-in ultra-wideband transceivers compliant with the IEEE 802.15.4a standard.

[0052] This system employs a Two-Way Ranging (TDOA) positioning algorithm to determine the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the positioning beacon. During operation, the positioning beacon actively sends a ranging request signal, which is then received and responded to by multiple surrounding positioning base stations. By measuring the round-trip flight time of the signal between the beacon and each base station, the system can accurately calculate the distance from the beacon to each base station. .

[0053] The unknown coordinates of the set beacon are: The known coordinates of the i-th positioning base station are Then the relationship between them follows the equation of the sphere: ; in, , The number of positioning base stations is N≥3. By solving at least three such nonlinear equations simultaneously and employing algorithms such as least squares method or extended Kalman filter, the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the positioning beacon can be calculated in real time. .

[0054] The closed-loop quality monitoring system pre-loads a building information model of the area to be constructed, which defines all necessary vibration points, forming a three-dimensional virtual vibration grid. A display terminal, such as an industrial-grade tablet, receives and displays this model. The system then calculates the coordinates in real time. Alignment and registration with the spatial coordinate system of the building information model.

[0055] On the display terminal's visual interface, each grid point to be vibrated is initially displayed in red. When the intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40 determines that it is located at a certain coordinate... When the vibration operation reaches its optimal state, the system sends a completion command to the display terminal. Upon receiving this command, the display terminal will update the coordinates... The closest red grid point will be updated to green. In this way, operators can visually identify completed areas, areas awaiting work, and any missed red areas, thus ensuring full coverage of the vibration operation.

[0056] The specific structure and working principle of the data recording and quality traceability subsystem 60 in the closed-loop quality monitoring system are given below.

[0057] The data recording and quality traceability subsystem 60 includes a non-volatile memory integrated within a waterproof control box, and data management software running on a central processing unit or a connected host computer. This subsystem interacts with the intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40 and the spatial positioning and leakage prevention subsystem 50.

[0058] For each independent vibration operation point, when the intelligent decision-making and alarm subsystem 40 outputs a judgment result indicating that vibration is completed, the data recording and quality traceability subsystem 60 is triggered, automatically creating a structured data record entry R.

[0059] All individual data record entries R are stored sequentially and append-only in non-volatile memory, forming a digital construction log file named by construction section number or operation date. This file can be in binary or structured text format. In this way, a complete data chain encompassing time, space, personnel, equipment, and quality results is established for each vibration operation, providing objective and verifiable data support for subsequent project quality assessment, auditing, and accountability.

[0060] Working Principle: Before the operation begins, the operator first moves the entire device to the designated construction area using multiple casters 2 located at the bottom of the frame 1. Then, the generator 20 installed inside the outer casing 10 is started to provide power to all electrical components of the device, including the drive motor of the vibratory position adjustment assembly and the closed-loop quality monitoring system. The operator logs in with their operator ID through the control system and loads building information model data matching the current area to be poured into the closed-loop quality monitoring system.

[0061] During the position adjustment phase, the operator controls the vibration position adjustment component via the control panel. Specifically, by controlling the extension and retraction of electric push rod 7, electric push rod 8, and electric push rod 9 respectively, the multi-link mechanism consisting of connecting rod 11, connecting rod 22, connecting rod 313, and connecting rod 421 is driven to move. The movement of the multi-link mechanism causes the fixed block 15 and the limiting rod 4 fixed thereon to perform precise translation or angular adjustment in three-dimensional space, thereby moving the entire array of acoustic vibrators 6 suspended on the limiting rod 4 to directly above the first set of vibration points specified on the BIM model.

[0062] During the intelligent vibration operation phase, the operator starts the vibration assembly. The motor 19, mounted on the base plate 3, begins operation, driving the sonic vibrator 6 via the flexible shaft 5 to vibrate and insert it into the concrete. At this time, the closed-loop quality monitoring system built into each sonic vibrator 6 begins real-time operation: Status awareness: The sensor module inside the rod head contains an accelerometer and an acoustic sensor to collect vibration feedback signals and acoustic signals in real time.

[0063] Intelligent decision-making: The central processor receives these signals and performs real-time analysis and pattern matching through the vibration state determination algorithm model to accurately determine whether the current concrete is in an under-vibration, optimal, or over-vibration state.

[0064] Command feedback: Based on the judgment result, the tri-color status indicator 22 on frame 1 will display the corresponding color. The operator only needs to observe this indicator: red means that vibration needs to continue; green means that the point has reached the optimal density and vibration is complete; flashing yellow warns of over-vibration and requires immediate stop.

[0065] Spatial calibration and leak prevention: Simultaneously, the spatial positioning and leak prevention vibrator system tracks the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of each acoustic vibrator 6 in real time. When the concrete under a certain vibrator is determined to be in the optimal state and the green light illuminates, the system immediately registers the coordinates of that vibrator with the BIM model and updates the corresponding point to be vibrated from red to green on the heat map of the display terminal.

[0066] Data recording: After each point is vibrated, the data recording and traceability subsystem automatically generates a structured data record containing information such as the spatial coordinates of the point, operator ID, vibration start and end time, and final status, and stores it in the memory.

[0067] Guided by the heat map on the display terminal, the operator manipulates the vibration position adjustment component or manually adjusts the fixing component to move the sonic vibrator 6 to the next nearest red vibration point, and repeats the above intelligent vibration operation process. The entire process continues until all areas on the heat map on the display terminal turn green, indicating that the vibration operation in that area has been completed according to standards without any omissions.

[0068] Upon completion of the work, the system automatically organizes and stores all recorded data entries, forming a complete and tamper-proof digital construction log. This log provides comprehensive data support for the quality of this concrete pouring operation and can be used for subsequent quality audits, assessments, and traceability.
