Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of suspension bridge maintenance, and in particular to a dehumidification detection device for a main cable of a suspension bridge. Background Art
[0002] The main cable of a suspension bridge is a key part supporting the entire bridge structure. It is usually composed of high-strength steel cables or steel cables, which are responsible for bearing the weight of vehicles or pedestrians on the bridge and transferring this weight to the pillars or piers of the bridge. The main cable of a suspension bridge is suspended on the main tower or main pier and remains stable with a certain tension to ensure the safe operation of the bridge. During the use of the main cable of a suspension bridge, if it is in a humid or moisture-containing environment for a long time, it is easy to cause corrosion of the metal material. Corrosion will weaken the strength and durability of the main cable, thereby reducing the safety of the suspension bridge. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly perform dehumidification detection on the inside of the main cable, so as to timely detect the moisture or water in the main cable and take measures to deal with it. However, traditional moisture detection methods can only detect the humidity of the air at the outer edge of the main cable, and the water vapor gathered in the center of the main cable is not easy to dissipate and detect, which leads to inaccurate detection data and large errors, which in turn affects the judgment of the timing of dehumidification inside the main cable.
