[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, the utility model is suitable for a lightweight health monitoring system for pile-slab bridges, which is composed of a strain sensor 1, a crack meter 2, a temperature sensor 3, a non-contact deflection monitor 4, a triangular reflection point 5, a data acquisition and transmission unit 6, a health monitoring cloud network platform 7, and a bridge early warning system 8.

[0029] Among them, the strain sensor 1, the crack meter 2, and the temperature sensor 3 are electrically connected to the data acquisition and transmission unit 6 respectively; the non-contact deflection monitor 4 and multiple groups of triangular reflection points 5 constitute a non-contact deflection monitoring system for monitoring the dynamic deflection of the bridge mid-span; the data acquisition and transmission unit 6 and the non-contact deflection monitor 4 upload the monitoring data to the health monitoring cloud network platform 7 respectively; the bridge early warning system 8 combines the monitoring data and the physical model to hybrid drive and set the bridge safety threshold.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the strain sensor 1 includes a longitudinal strain sensor 101 and a transverse strain sensor 102. The longitudinal strain sensor 101 is installed on the lower surface of the bottom plate in the middle of the main beam span to detect the longitudinal strain state of the main beam; the transverse strain sensor 102 is installed at the bottom of the bridge deck to detect the transverse strain state of the main beam; thus, the strain state of the main beam can be judged from two dimensions. That is, the strain sensor is installed in the middle of the main beam span in this application, which can accurately monitor the stress state of the bridge structure under the action of external loads.

[0031] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the joint meter 2 includes a longitudinal joint meter 201 for expansion joints and a transverse joint meter 202 for bridge joints. The longitudinal joint meter 201 for expansion joints is installed between the expansion joint and the top of the beam; the transverse joint meter 202 for bridge joints is installed at the longitudinal joints. That is, the present application installs joint meters at the longitudinal joints and the expansion joints at the top of the piles, which can be used to monitor the slight movement of the structure.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, two triangular reflection points 5 are installed at the web of the mid-span box girder, and the triangular reflection point 5 is correspondingly installed in the middle position of two adjacent piers. The non-contact deflection monitor 4 is installed on the inner wall or stable area of ​​the 3# pier. The non-contact deflection monitor 4 uses the principle of microwave interferometry to transmit microwaves to the triangular reflection point 5, calculate the phase difference between the two echoes, and estimate the target micro deformation.

[0033] The non-contact deflection monitor 4 can perform multi-target measurements simultaneously, is less affected by bad weather such as light, rain, and wind, and can be used for all-weather monitoring. The measurement distance is within 500m, and the measurement accuracy is better than 0.1mm (30m), that is: the measurement error range of the non-contact deflection monitor 4 is less than 0.1mm per 30m.

[0034] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the temperature sensor 3 is installed on the belly surface of the support section box girder to detect the surface temperature of the upper surface of the belly of the support section box girder and the main beam.

[0035] The health monitoring cloud network platform 7 can view the measurement point information, draw the monitoring data curve, and visualize the structural status through the lightweight BIM model. The bridge early warning system 8 sets a multi-level early warning threshold based on the physical model of the bridge structure, and compares it with the strain and displacement data uploaded to the health monitoring cloud network platform 7. When the monitoring index exceeds the threshold, a bridge structure safety early warning is issued.

[0036] The bridge warning system 8 is provided with 3 warning thresholds and 4 warning status levels, and the warning statuses are normal status-green, level 1 warning-blue, level 2 warning-yellow, and level 3 warning-red. The normal status indicates that the structure is very safe; the level 1 warning indicates that a small part of the sensor monitoring data exceeds the level 1 warning threshold, but does not exceed the level 2 warning threshold, and the pile-type roadbed can quickly return to normal; the level 2 warning indicates that most of the sensor monitoring data exceeds the level 1 warning threshold, and the pile-plate roadbed is partially damaged, requiring temporary road control, and sending professionals to the site for local safety assessment. Eliminating the cause of the sensor failure, the level 3 warning indicates that the pile-plate roadbed has serious structural damage, and vehicles should be stopped immediately, reported to the superior department, and the safety assessment of the entire bridge should be conducted.

[0037] The working principle and working process of the lightweight health monitoring system suitable for pile-slab bridges of the utility model are briefly described below.

[0038] The utility model provides a lightweight health monitoring system suitable for pile-slab bridges. A strain sensor is installed in the middle of the main beam span, which can accurately monitor the stress state of the bridge structure under the action of external loads; a triangular reflection point is installed in the middle of the main beam span, and a non-contact deflection monitor is used to monitor the deflection of the main beam mid-span, which can overall reflect the spatial curved surface effect of the bridge under the action of loads; joint meters are installed at the longitudinal bridge joints and pile top expansion joints, which can be used to monitor small movements of the structure; an ambient temperature sensor is installed on the support cross section, which can monitor the temperature changes of the cross section; each sensor unit is connected to the health monitoring cloud network platform through a data acquisition and transmission unit.
