Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of concrete, in particular to a device for detecting the depth of concrete opening cracks. Background Art
[0002] The impact of cracks on concrete structures cannot be underestimated. Once the depth and width of the cracks exceed the critical value that the concrete structure can withstand, it will not only affect the appearance of the structure, but more importantly, it may damage the integrity and bearing capacity of the concrete structure, thus affecting its normal use. In extreme cases, serious cracks may even cause safety accidents, posing huge risks to personal and property safety. Therefore, the detection and prevention of concrete cracks are particularly important. Traditional crack detection methods mainly rely on technicians to observe with the naked eye. Although this method is simple to operate, it has obvious disadvantages: first, it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring technicians to carefully inspect each part; second, the accuracy of this method is highly dependent on the experience and skills of the technicians; third, the results of naked eye detection are easily affected by the subjective judgment of the technicians, resulting in low measurement accuracy.
[0003] Chinese patent CN116147547A discloses a nondestructive testing system that attempts to detect cracks by striking concrete structures with a vibrating hammer. However, this method requires manual pre-measurement and setting of the spacing between striking points during implementation, which is not only cumbersome, but also greatly prolongs the detection time and reduces work efficiency. In addition, reliance on manual measurement may also introduce additional errors, affecting the accuracy of the detection results. Utility Model Content

The utility model is further described in combination with the drawings and embodiments:
[0019] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a device for detecting the depth of open cracks in concrete comprises a base plate 1, on which a sliding mechanism is provided, to which a vertical component is fixedly connected, a sliding sleeve 41 is provided at the upper end of the vertical component, a horizontal rod 42 is slidably fitted in the sliding sleeve, a vibration component 5 is provided at the end of the horizontal rod, a driving mechanism is installed on the sliding sleeve, and the driving mechanism can drive the vibration component to move.

[0020] In at least one embodiment, the sliding mechanism includes a slide rail 21, a slider 22 and a tightening bolt 23. The slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom plate, the slide rail is slidably matched with the slider, and the slider is threadedly connected with the tightening bolt, and the tightening bolt can make the slider move along the slide rail and be positioned at a point on the slide rail. The combination of the slide rail, the slider and the tightening bolt allows the detection device to be located close to or away from the concrete structure, which is convenient for operators to perform accurate detection in complex environments.
[0021] In at least one embodiment, the vertical assembly includes a vertical tube 31, an inner rod 33 is slidably fitted inside the vertical tube, the lower end of the vertical tube is fixedly connected to the slider, a sliding sleeve is installed on the upper end of the inner rod, and a tightening knob 32 is provided on the vertical tube, and the tightening knob can make the inner rod move along the vertical tube and be positioned at a point on the vertical tube. The sliding fit between the vertical tube and the inner rod, through the positioning function of the tightening knob, can realize the flexible adjustment of the detection device in the vertical direction to meet the detection requirements of cracks of different heights.
[0022] In at least one embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 43, the driving motor is connected to a gear 44, and in cooperation with the driving motor, a rack 45 is provided on one side of the horizontal rod, and the gear and the rack are matched. The combination of the driving motor, the gear and the rack provides automation and precise control for the detection device, so that the excitation component can be accurately moved to a predetermined position, thereby improving the detection efficiency and accuracy.
[0023] In at least one embodiment, the excitation assembly includes an excitation box 51, a slide groove 52 is formed on the top of the excitation box, a moving block 54 is slidably fitted in the slide groove, a lower plate 57 is provided at the lower end of the moving block, a flexible spring 59 is provided between the lower plate and the left inner wall of the excitation box, a telescopic electric cylinder 53 is provided inside the excitation box, a mounting plate 55 is provided at the upper end of the moving block, an excitation hammer 56 is provided on the mounting plate, and a second acceleration sensor is connected to the excitation hammer.

[0024] Furthermore, when the telescopic rod of the telescopic electric cylinder is extended, it can clamp the lower plate to limit the moving block from moving toward the left inner wall of the excitation box under the action of the flexible spring. The function of the telescopic electric cylinder further enhances the controllability and stability of the excitation component, ensuring the accurate application of the excitation force during the detection process.
[0025] In at least one embodiment, the sensor support frame includes a clamp 61, which is fixedly mounted on the vertical pipe, and the clamp is connected to a horizontal connecting plate 63. A support rod 64 is provided between the horizontal connecting plate and the bottom plate, and a plurality of plug holes are provided on the horizontal connecting plate.

The stable structure of the sensor support frame ensures the accurate installation and measurement of the acceleration sensor, and the symmetrical layout with the excitation component helps to accurately capture the response of the crack to the excitation signal, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of crack depth detection.
[0026] Working method: Place the base plate on the concrete structure to be inspected to ensure stability. Adjust the position of the vertical assembly through the sliding mechanism (including slide rails, sliders and tightening bolts) to ensure that it is aligned with the crack position. Fix the slider with tightening bolts to ensure that the equipment will not move during the inspection process.
[0027] Fix the clamp on the vertical pipe and connect it to the bottom plate through the horizontal connecting plate and the support rod to ensure its stability. Install the first acceleration sensor on the supporting top plate and ensure that it is symmetrically set with the exciting hammer on both sides of the crack. Adjust the height of the positioning rod and fix it with the upper tightening nut and the lower tightening nut.
[0028] The position of the horizontal rod and the excitation assembly is adjusted by the drive mechanism (including the drive motor, gear and rack) to align it with the crack. In the excitation box, the movement of the excitation hammer is controlled by the telescopic electric cylinder and the flexible spring. The telescopic electric cylinder is started to extend its telescopic rod and clamp the lower plate to limit the movement of the moving block under the action of the flexible spring. The concrete structure is struck by the excitation hammer on the mounting plate to generate elastic waves.
[0029] Ensure that the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor are connected to the detection equipment. Perform tapping excitation and collect data when the elastic wave passes through the crack. Use the acquisition system of the detection equipment to save the data to ensure the validity of the data. Perform parameter regression calculations through background processing of the collected data. Establish an equation based on the time difference of the elastic wave passing through the same crack at three different distances (such as L = 0.1m, 0.2m, 0.3m). By solving the equation, obtain information on the crack depth, elastic wave velocity and crack inclination angle.
