Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of strain gauges, in particular to a strain gauge that can be applied to a bridge deck. Background Art
[0002] Strain gauge is a component used to measure strain, mainly composed of sensitive grids, etc. Its working principle is based on the strain effect, that is, when the conductor or semiconductor material is mechanically deformed under the action of external forces, its resistance value will change accordingly. This change can be measured by special instruments and converted into the strain value of the measuring point.
[0003] In the renovation and reinforcement of bridges, especially old bridges, strain gauges are often used to check the renovation and reinforcement positions of bridges, and to confirm the renovation and reinforcement plan according to the strain conditions. At present, the installation of strain gauges on bridge decks is mainly fixed by adhesives. It is necessary to clean the surface of the bridge deck where it is installed first to ensure that there is no dust or stains on the surface that affect the bonding strength, and then grind and frost the surface to increase the bonding strength. Finally, the adhesive is applied to install the strain gauge. The installation method is cumbersome and has many steps. After the adhesive is cured, it shrinks, causing the strain gauge to deform and generate stress. This stress does not belong to the stress of the bridge itself, which will lead to large errors in subsequent test results. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0026] See also Figure 1-5 A strain gauge applicable to a bridge deck comprises a strain gauge body 1, a substrate 3 is arranged below the strain gauge body 1, the substrate 3 is made of rubber material, the strain gauge body 1 is glued to the top surface of the substrate 3 by an adhesive, a plurality of arc sleeves 4 are welded and installed at equal intervals on the top surface of the substrate 3 at four sides, a spherical cavity 5 is opened on the arc sleeve 4 and the substrate 3 in the arc sleeve 4, and the spherical cavity 5 passes through the arc sleeve 4 and the substrate 3 at upper and lower positions;
[0027] A convex ball 7 is provided in the spherical cavity 5, and the spherical surface of the convex ball 7 abuts against the inner wall of the spherical cavity 5 to form a limited rotation fixation. The inner diameter of the spherical cavity 5 is larger than the diameter of the convex ball 7, and the difference between the two is at least 6 mm. A screw rod 6 is welded and installed on the convex ball 7, and the upper and lower ends of the screw rod 6 are respectively passed through the top of the arc sleeve 4 and the bottom of the base plate 3. The screw rod 6 below the base plate 3 is threadedly screwed with an embedded sleeve 9, and the end of the screw rod 6 above the arc sleeve 4 is integrally formed with a pentagonal head 8.
[0028] When in use, first drill a hole at the bridge deck installation position to embed the embedded sleeve 9, and inject glue for auxiliary fixation at the same time, so that the embedded sleeve 9 is reliably fixed to the bridge deck, and the top surface of the embedded sleeve 9 is not lower than the highest point of the bridge deck at the installation position. The strain gauge body 1 is bonded to the top surface of the substrate 3 in advance and fixed, and the prestress is removed. Then, the substrate 3 is held, and the screw 6 is moved to align with the embedded sleeve 9 through the limit fixing relationship of the convex ball 7 in the spherical cavity 5. It is first screwed in for pretightening for a certain length. At this time, the strain gauge wire 2 of the strain gauge body 1 is connected to observe whether there is strain. When there is strain, continue to adjust the substrate 3 so that there is no prestress on the substrate 3, and then tighten the screw 6 from the position of the pentagonal head 8 so that the screw 6 is tightened into the embedded sleeve 9 for fixation. There is no need to grind the bridge deck and apply adhesive during installation. There is no prestress on the substrate 3, and there is no prestress on the strain gauge body 1, which ensures the accuracy of the final measured result.

[0031] In this embodiment, a top cover 14 is provided above the substrate 3, and the top cover 14 covers the strain gauge body 1. Positioning blocks 12 are welded and installed on the top surface of the substrate 3 near the left and right sides, and a threaded hole 15 is opened in the middle position of the positioning block 12.
