Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of geological body deformation monitoring, and in particular relates to a system for measuring deep horizontal displacement and stratified settlement. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of clean energy today, a large number of large hydropower station projects such as earth-rock dams and panel rockfill dams are being built at a rapid pace. Especially in the development of pumped-storage power stations, the number of panel rockfill dams under construction accounts for nearly 70% of all dam types. It is necessary to bury electromagnetic settlement meters in the panel rockfill dams during the construction period in order to observe the settlement of the dam and diagnose the health of the dam.

[0003] In the field of engineering safety detection, the traditional method of observing and measuring the settlement of buildings is to use electromagnetic settlement meters operated manually. The settlement measuring instrument is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Settlement monitoring points are placed at different elevations of the building, that is, the magnetic ring is mounted on the settlement tube. When the settlement probe detects the location of the settlement point, the buzzer sounds, and the sound disappears when it is far away from the settlement point. When the buzzer sounds, the operator first determines the position by subjective judgment through the sound, and then reads the position corresponding to the settlement point on the ruler by visual inspection and records the data. The operation process is: first place the probe to the pipe mouth, and the depth of the settlement pipe ranges from tens of meters to hundreds of meters. Then the operator pulls the ruler by hand to drag the probe down slowly. When the probe encounters the magnetic ring during the falling process, the buzzer will sound, and the operator will observe and record the scale on the ruler with his eyes. A project has multiple settlement observation holes, which are repeated several times until the entire measurement process is completed. Traditional electromagnetic settlement meters install settlement tubes by drilling holes, pre-buried with fill, etc., and set multiple magnetic rings in layers on the outside of the tube. A portable electromagnetic settlement meter (ruler) is used to measure the position changes of each magnetic ring relative to the reference magnet at the bottom of the hole through manual reading, thereby obtaining the stratified settlement of the soil.

[0004] In addition, the Chinese patent announcement number is CN103362114A, and the invention is named as a method for monitoring soil layer settlement. A measuring hole is drilled on the foundation, and then cement mortar is backfilled to the bottom of the measuring hole. The settlement tube is placed in the center of the measuring hole, and its bottom is inserted into the cement mortar. The distance between the outer circle of the settlement ring and the hole wall of the measuring hole is greater than 2cm; then the fiber grating displacement meter is connected to the fiber grating demodulator through the fiber grating cable. However, the existing traditional electromagnetic settlement instrument requires manual operation, and cannot realize automatic monitoring and remote telemetry, especially the problem of unable to monitor horizontal displacement.

[0005] In view of this, it is very necessary to invent a system for measuring deep horizontal displacement and stratified settlement. Utility Model Content
