Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of railway bridge detection, in particular to a portable detection device for automatic and continuous inspection of railway bridges. Background Art

[0002] Railway bridges are an indispensable part of the railway system. They not only carry the heavy task of trains crossing various natural and man-made obstacles, but also serve as an important link connecting different regions and promoting economic development. Beam bridges are the most common type of railway bridges, including simply supported beam bridges, continuous beam bridges and cantilever beam bridges. This type of bridge is widely used in railway engineering due to its simple structure, economy and practicality. Arch bridges have a place in railway bridges with their unique aesthetics and structural characteristics. Arch bridges mainly bear pressure and are suitable for scenes with large spans and visual effects. There are also cable-stayed bridges that support the bridge deck through inclined cables extending from the tower to both sides, which are suitable for large span coverage and have high technical content and visual effects. The suspension bridge, also known as the suspension bridge, supports the bridge deck through the main cable and the suspension cables perpendicular to the main cable, which can achieve super-large span coverage and is commonly used in the design of railway bridges across wide waters.

[0003] Railway bridge inspection is an important task to ensure railway traffic safety and improve transportation efficiency. Inspection is mainly carried out through two methods: manual inspection and track inspection vehicle inspection. Through inspection, potential problems can be discovered and dealt with to ensure the safety and stability of railway bridges.

[0004] However, the efficiency and accuracy of manual inspection are limited by the experience and ability of the inspectors, and the track inspection vehicle is large in size, and it is difficult to move the equipment to the track during inspection, which requires a lot of physical strength.

[0013] Furthermore, a driving pulley is fixedly mounted on the surface of the output shaft, and a driven pulley is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating hollow shaft, and the driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected via a belt transmission.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the output shaft rotates to drive the driving pulley to rotate, which drives the driven pulley to rotate through the belt, thereby driving the rotating hollow shaft to rotate, driving the installation shaft to drive the track wheel to rotate, so that the device moves on the track.

[0015] Furthermore, two ultrasonic detection devices are fixedly mounted on the bottom of one of the mounting substrates, and detection probes of the ultrasonic detection devices extend above the track.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the ultrasonic detection device performs ultrasonic detection on the rail to detect defects inside the rail, such as cracks, pores, etc.

[0017] Furthermore, a distance sensor is fixedly installed between the two installation shafts, and an angle sensor is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating hollow shaft.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that when the spacing of the tracks changes, the spacing between the two track wheels increases, driving the two mounting shafts to slide inside the rotating hollow shaft, driving the distance sensor to extend, measuring the change in the spacing of the tracks, and when the heights on both sides of the tracks are different, the rotating hollow shaft tilts, and the angle sensor detects the tilt angle.

[0019] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly installed at the bottom of the folding plate, the controller is electrically connected to the distance sensor and the angle sensor, and a communication module for transmitting data is provided in the controller.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are: the distance sensor is extended to measure the change in the spacing of the track, the angle sensor detects the inclination angle, and the inspection data is transmitted to the staff's receiving device through the communication module in the controller.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a portable detection device for automatic continuous inspection of railway bridges, which has the following beneficial effects:
