Description
Technical Field

[0002] In engineering construction, the control of bridge verticality is crucial to ensure the overall stability of engineering construction. In the monitoring of bridge safety, the monitoring of bridge inclination is an important evaluation indicator. The inclination of a bridge can reflect the safety of the bridge structure and the durability of the bridge, and help engineers understand the actual stress state and structural health of the bridge, especially the accumulated deformation after long-term service, which is of great significance for evaluating the remaining service life of the bridge and predicting potential damage.
[0003] At present, when monitoring the inclination of a bridge, inclination sensors are usually used. By arranging inclination sensors on bridge main beams, cables and other components, the deflection changes of the bridge under various loads can be measured. By embedding the inclination sensors into the bridge monitoring system, real-time online monitoring of key parts of the bridge can be achieved. Once the inclination change of the bridge exceeds the preset safety threshold, the system will automatically trigger an alarm and notify the management personnel in real time to conduct on-site inspections or take necessary traffic restrictions or closure measures, thereby effectively preventing serious safety accidents such as bridge collapse that may be caused by excessive deformation.
[0004] However, the existing inclination sensors use more electrical structures, and the monitoring accuracy will be affected by the magnetic field, temperature, and humidity. Therefore, when affected by bad weather, the existing inclination sensors have weak anti-interference capabilities and cannot continuously and stably output effective inclination information, resulting in high maintenance costs. Moreover, when the bridge is monitored to exceed the normal inclination, the existing inclination sensors cannot intuitively and quickly reflect the severity of the bridge's tilt.

The housing 1 is a symmetrical structure, a mounting column 7 is installed on the top of the inner wall of the housing 1, and the mounting column 7 is provided with a shaft hole 8, the shaft hole 8 is horizontally arranged, the shaft hole 8 is in the shape of an isosceles triangle, the top angle of the shaft hole 8 is downwardly arranged, a shaft 2 is arranged in the shaft hole 8, the shaft 2 is horizontally arranged, the cross section of the shaft 2 is an isosceles triangle with an arc-shaped top angle, the arc-shaped top angle of the shaft 2 is downwardly arranged, the top angle angle of the isosceles triangle in the cross section of the shaft 2 is smaller than the top angle angle of the shaft hole 8, the arc of the top angle of the shaft 2 makes the shaft 2 have no deflection in the natural state, and can deflect and shake in the shaft hole 8 when the bridge vibrates, and gradually return to normal when the bridge returns to normal. A suspension 3 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 2. The suspension 3 is a symmetrical structure. The suspension 3 and the housing 1 are on the same central axis. The suspension 3 is suspended vertically downward. Grooves 4 are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the suspension 3 in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the grooves 4 are provided on two sides of the suspension 3 perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The grooves 4 penetrate the suspension 3 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The horizontal heights of the two grooves 4 are different. The depth of the grooves 4 is greater than half of the thickness of the suspension 3 in the depth direction of the grooves 4. A plurality of micro switches 5 are arranged in the horizontal direction. The arrangement direction of the plurality of micro switches 5 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. Two strikers 6 are installed on the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is:
[0026] After the shell 1 is fixed to the bridge, when the shell 1 tilts with the bridge, the vertically suspended column 3 is still vertically downward due to the gravity. At this time, the striker 6 on the inner wall of the shell 1 will approach the micro switch 5 in the groove 4 and touch the micro switch 5. The alarm device connected to the triggered micro switch 5 will send an alarm signal and light up the warning light. As the bridge tilts more, the striker 6 will continue to trigger the next micro switch 5 along the arrangement path of the micro switch 5 contacts and light up the next warning light. The greater the tilt of the bridge, the more micro switches 5 can be triggered by the striker 6, and the more warning lights will light up, so that the tilt of the bridge can be intuitively reflected. If the bridge continues to tilt, the warning light will be always on; when the bridge returns to normal, the warning light will go out; if the bridge is only tilted and shaken briefly, the warning light corresponding to the micro switch 5 touched by the striker 6 will flash.
[0027] This embodiment can issue an alarm when the bridge exceeds the normal tilt degree and can reflect the tilt degree of the bridge. This embodiment is a purely mechanical structure and is not affected by electromagnetics and ordinary vibrations of the bridge. When the bridge tilts beyond the design limit, it can continuously and stably issue an alarm signal.
[0028] In other embodiments of the present application, the shape of the shaft hole 8 is circular, the shaft 2 is cylindrical, and the shaft 2 is loosely matched with the shaft hole 8. The alarm device is a buzzer alarm, and the greater the bridge tilt, the more micro switches 5 can be triggered by the striker 6, and the more buzzer alarms that sound.
[0029] In specific applications, this embodiment can be used in conjunction with an existing more accurate inclination sensor to cope with harsh and uncertain natural environments and continuously and stably monitor the inclination of the bridge.
