Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of highway bridge detection, in particular to a road bridge expansion joint detection device. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet the requirements of bridge deck deformation, expansion joints are usually set between the two beam ends, between the beam ends and the abutments, or at the hinged position of the bridge. The expansion joints are required to be able to freely expand and contract in both directions parallel and perpendicular to the bridge axis, and to be firm and reliable. Highway bridge expansion devices can be divided into three types according to their expansion structures: modular expansion devices, comb plate expansion devices, and seamless expansion devices. Expansion joint detection usually includes measuring the distance between expansion joints and checking whether they are in a horizontal state. The current detection method is mostly for workers to use rulers or spirit levels for detection, which may result in human errors. Therefore, a road bridge expansion joint detection device is proposed to solve the factors of human errors and improve the detection speed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solution of the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] A road bridge expansion joint detection device, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a distance measuring component and a driving component. The distance measuring component includes a slider 14, a scale 12, a measuring plate 11, and a lifting slide 21. The slider 14 has two parts. A hole is provided on one side of the slider 14, and a ball nut is provided in the hole. A baffle is provided above one side of the slider 14, and a mounting hole is provided on the baffle. The scale is installed in the mounting hole. The measuring plate 11 is installed under the slider 14 and the lifting slide 21 by bolts. The measuring plate 11 on the slider 14 is provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the distance measuring component also includes a collision sensor 18, a distance measuring sensor 19, and a collision block 20. There are two collision sensors 18, one of which is installed in a first mounting hole on the inner side of the measuring plate 11. The collision block 20 is installed in the first mounting hole, close to the outer side of the measuring plate 11. A spring is arranged between the collision block 20 and the collision sensor 18. Another collision sensor 18 is installed below the lifting slide 21. The distance measuring sensor 19 is installed in a second mounting hole on the measuring plate 11. The sensor head of the distance measuring sensor 19 faces the inner side of the measuring plate 11. The detection device also includes a control module. The collision sensor 18 and the distance measuring sensor 19 are electrically connected to the control module.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, the distance measuring component also includes a lead screw 13 and a stepper motor 15. The lead screw 13 is connected to the output end of the stepper motor 15 through a coupling. The lead screw 13 is installed in the hole of the slider 14 and is connected to the lifting slider 21 through a rolling bearing. The stepper motor 15 is electrically connected to the control module.

[0030] After the detection device is turned on, the distance measuring component starts to work, and the slider 14 moves driven by the stepper motor 15. When the collision block on the measuring plate 11 connected to the slider 14 collides with the collision sensor 18, the collision sensor 18 sends an electrical signal to the control module, and the control module controls the stepper motor 15 to stop running. Then the distance measuring sensor 19 detects the distance of the expansion joint and sends information to the control module in the form of an electrical signal. The operator can also observe the distance through a ruler, and the detection speed is fast.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the distance measuring assembly also includes a connecting rod 2, a translation slide 22, a moving rod 16, and an electronic level 17. A protruding structure is provided in front of the slider 14 and the lifting slide 21, and a hole is provided on the side of the protruding structure. The connecting rod 2 is provided in the hole, and holes are provided on the side and above and below the translation slide 22. The translation slide 22 is installed on the connecting rod 2 through the side hole, and the moving rod 16 is installed in the vertical hole of the translation slide 22. The electronic level 17 is installed below the two moving rods 16 by bolts.

[0032] When the electronic level 17 is in contact with the ground, it can detect whether the expansion joint on the road bridge is in a horizontal state. When measuring the distance of the expansion joint, the horizontality can be detected at the same time, saving time.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving assembly includes a bracket 23, a slide rail 8, a lead screw 19, and a through-type stepper motor 10. The inner side of the lower part of the bracket 23 is provided with a mounting groove, and a rolling bearing is provided in the mounting groove. Both ends of the lead screw 19 are installed in the rolling bearings. The through-type stepper motor 10 is installed on the lead screw 19, and the through-type stepper motor 10 is electrically connected to the control module. The lifting slide 21 is connected to the through-type stepper motor 10 by bolts. A shaft seat is provided on the lead screw 19, and the stepper motor 15 is connected to the shaft seat by bolts.

[0034] In this case, the operator places the measuring plate 11 on one side of the lifting slide 21 against one side of the expansion joint, starts the driving component through the control module, and the driving component controls the ranging component to descend into the expansion joint. When the collision sensor 18 on the lifting slide 21 collides with the ground, the control module controls the through-type stepper motor 10 to stop working. After the measurement is completed, the through-type stepper motor 10 controls the measuring component to rise. The driving component can reduce the workload and speed up the measurement.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the detection device also includes a bracket 1, a roller 7, and a push rod 6. The driving assembly is installed on the inner sides of both sides of the bracket 1. Two support rods are provided on the front lower side of the bracket 1. Mounting holes are provided at the rear positions of both sides of the bracket 1. The connecting rod 2 is installed in the mounting holes. The roller 7 is connected and installed on both sides of the bracket 1 through the connecting rod 2. The push rod 6 is welded to the rear of the bracket 1, and a sponge is provided above the push rod 6.

[0036] The detection device can be pushed by the push rod 6 and the roller 7, so as to check the expansion joints at multiple locations on the road and bridge conveniently and quickly.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the detection device also includes a power supply 4 and a control panel 5. The power supply 4 is installed above the bracket 2 3, and the control panel 5 is installed above the power supply 4. The driving component and the distance measuring component are connected to the control panel 5 through wires.

[0038] The whole detection device is powered by the power supply 4, and the driving component and the distance measuring component can be controlled by the control panel 5. At the same time, the detection results of the distance measuring sensor 19 and the electronic level 17 can be checked, without manual measurement and recording of data, thus reducing errors caused by human factors.

[0039] Working principle: The operator pushes the detection device onto the expansion joint, aligns the measuring plate 11 under the lifting slide 21 with one side of the expansion joint, and then controls the driving component to lower the distance measuring component through the control panel 5. The electronic level falls on the expansion joint under the action of gravity to detect whether the expansion joint is in a horizontal position. When the collision sensor 18 under the lifting slide touches the ground, the control module controls the through-type stepper motor 10 to stop running, and then controls the stepper motor 15 to run, and moves the measuring plate on the slider 14 to the expansion joint on the other side. When the collision sensor detection on the measuring plate 11 is triggered, the stepper motor 15 stops running, and the distance measuring sensor 19 starts to measure the distance. The distance measuring sensor 19 and the electronic level 17 transmit the detection results to the control panel 5, and the control panel 5 displays the data to the operator. After multiple measurements, the operator retracts the distance measuring component and the driving component through the control panel 5, moves to the next measuring point, and measures again.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
