Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection robots, in particular to a bridge pier detection robot. Background Art

[0002] The pier is one of the main supporting structures of the bridge. It is located in the river or on the shore to support the bridge span, so that the load from the superstructure can be transferred to the foundation. The function of the pier is to support the span structure and connect with the embankment to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire bridge. As the main load-bearing structure of the bridge, the stability of the pier directly affects the overall safety of the bridge. Through comprehensive and detailed inspection of the pier, potential damage, cracks or deformation problems can be discovered in time, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the bridge. In addition, since the bridge may be affected by various factors such as the natural environment and vehicle loads during long-term use, various problems may occur in the pier. Through regular inspection, these problems can be discovered in time, and corresponding measures can be taken to repair or reinforce them to prevent potential risks. However, since the piers are often in inaccessible or underwater areas, their inspection is also difficult.

[0003] In the prior art, people usually use pier detection devices to detect piers. For example, a patent with application number CN202221412250.2 discloses a pier detection device for high pier bridges. This device adopts a circular ring structure to be mounted on the pier, and a motor drives a rotating roller to move upward on the pier. During the movement, the pier detection work is realized through the cameras distributed around. Although this device can complete the detection of piers, the circular structure of this device is directly connected and fixed by a plug block, and the distance between the roller and the outer surface of the pier cannot be adjusted, and it cannot meet the fixation of piers of different specifications; in addition, this device is not equipped with lighting equipment, and cannot meet the detection work in dark vision or underwater environment, so there is a problem of poor adaptability; moreover, the up and down displacement of this device is driven by the rotating roller to drive the roller to follow. This drive makes the two sides of the device unevenly stressed, which is easy to cause roller wear or the two sides of the device cannot be level, and then there is a problem of poor stability of the device. In summary, a new type of pier detection device is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

[0035] When implementing the device of the present application, first adjust the extension amount of the extension rod 22 according to the size of the bridge pier, and screw in the rod fixing bolt 17 to fix the extension rod 22; then, by turning the block bolt 162 counterclockwise, the fixing frame 163 is moved, and then the second moving group 16 is pushed and adjusted to a suitable position by hand, and then the block bolt 162 is turned clockwise to fix the fixing frame 163 on the longitudinal rod 11, and the first moving group 15 and the third moving group 25 repeat the above-mentioned adjustment operation of the second moving group 16; after the adjustment is completed, the robot is placed at the appropriate position of the bridge pier, and the limit bolt 168 is rotated clockwise by hand, and the limit bolt 168 pushes the follower block 165 and the roller group 167 fixed on the follower block 165. , so that the roller group 167 is closely attached to the outer surface of the pier.

The motor-driven roller rotation here is the prior art in this field, and the specific working principle is no longer repeated. The three-party moving group is fixed on the bridge pier, and the rollers in each moving group are driven by a motor, which is evenly stressed, can reduce roller wear, and put the robot in a horizontal state, thereby making the robot of the present application have higher stability; in addition, the monitoring equipment of the robot of the present application is also provided with a lighting lamp, which can make it adapt to underwater detection work and bridge pier detection work with dim vision, so that the robot of the present application has higher adaptability. After the inspection is completed, the robot is loosened by loosening the rod fixing bolt 17 counterclockwise, and then removed from the pier. Then, the corresponding limit bolts in the second moving group 16, the first moving group 15 and the third moving group 25 are rotated counterclockwise. In the absence of limit bolts pushing and limiting, the rollers in the second moving group 16, the first moving group 15 and the third moving group 25 are reset under the tension of their corresponding reset springs for next use.
