Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0015] The following further describes the present application in detail Figure 1-2 in conjunction with the attached

[0016] Embodiment 1 of the present application discloses an ultrasonic device applicable to the integrity detection of pile foundations.

[0017] Refer to Figure 1, an ultrasonic device suitable for pile foundation integrity detection, comprising a pile foundation sleeve 1, an ultrasonic transmitter 2, an ultrasonic receiver 3 and a microprocessing center 4. The ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the ultrasonic receiver 3 are both electrically connected to the microprocessing center 4. On each side of the pile foundation sleeve 1, there is a vertically arranged travel guide rail 5. The ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the ultrasonic receiver 3 are installed on the two travel guide rails 5. On the inner wall of the top of the pile foundation sleeve 1, there is a rotating shaft 7. The upper end of the rotating shaft 7 is connected to a motor through a worm and gear transmission mechanism, and the motor is electrically connected to the microprocessing center 4. The lower end of the rotating shaft 7 is provided with a horizontal rotating frame 8. An upper belt transmission mechanism 9 and a lower belt transmission mechanism 10 are installed on the horizontal rotating frame 8. Two of the travel guide rails 5 are fixedly installed in parallel on the belts of the upper belt transmission mechanism 9 and the lower belt transmission mechanism 10 to simultaneously drive the two travel guide rails 5 to move towards the middle or towards both sides. The belt transmission mechanism is a mechanical transmission method that uses a flexible belt as a medium to transmit power and motion. The belt transmission mechanism usually consists of a driving wheel (active wheel), a driven wheel (passive wheel) and an endless belt connecting the two wheels. Power is transmitted from the driving wheel to the driven wheel through the belt, causing the driven wheel to rotate.

[0018] Working principle: First, install the ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the ultrasonic receiver 3 on the vertical travel guide rails 5 on the left and right sides of the pile foundation sleeve 1 respectively. The ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the ultrasonic receiver 3 can be arranged on different sides or on the same side. These two key components are responsible for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves to detect the integrity of the pile foundation. Ensure that the ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the ultrasonic receiver 3 are electrically connected to the microprocessing center 4 for signal transmission and processing. The microprocessing center 4 controls the start of the motor to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 7. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, the horizontal rotating frame 8 drives the travel guide rails 5 on both sides to rotate, controlling the relative position and angle of the ultrasonic transmitter and receiver, facilitating the all-round detection of the pile foundation. The upper belt transmission mechanism 9 and the lower belt transmission mechanism 10 will simultaneously drive the travel guide rails 5 to move towards the middle or towards both sides, enabling the distance between the ultrasonic transmitter and receiver and the pile foundation to be flexibly adjusted to meet the detection requirements of pile foundations with different diameters and depths. The synchronous movement of the travel guide rails 5 ensures that the distances between the ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the receiver 3 and the pile foundation are the same, improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.

[0019] During the detection process, the ultrasonic transmitter 2 emits ultrasonic waves, which pass through the pile foundation material in the form of sound waves. When the ultrasonic waves encounter defects, cracks or interfaces of different media inside the pile foundation, reflection occurs, generating echoes, which are then received by the ultrasonic receiver 3. The microprocessing center analyzes the received signals and evaluates the integrity and quality of the pile foundation based on characteristics such as the propagation time, amplitude and frequency of the sound waves. Multi-directional detection of the pile foundation integrity is achieved through the principle of ultrasonic reflection or transmission. Defects in the pile foundation, such as cavities, cracks or material non-uniformity, will cause changes in the sound wave propagation path and abnormalities in the reflection signals, and these abnormal signals help to identify the defects of the pile foundation.

[0020] The entire detection process can be automatically controlled through the microprocessing center 4, improving the detection efficiency and operation convenience. The microprocessing center 4, as the brain of the system, is recommended to use an industrial-grade embedded computer as the microprocessing center 4, such as Advantech UNO series, Siemens SIMATIC IPC series, etc. The microprocessing center 4 integrates all components and sensors into a coordinated working unit. After detection, the microprocessing center 4 outputs a pile foundation integrity report according to the analysis results, providing data support for construction quality and safety.

[0021] Embodiment 2 is different from Embodiment 1 in that a synchronous belt drive mechanism 11 is connected between the upper belt drive mechanism 9 and the lower belt drive mechanism 10. The synchronous belt drive mechanism 11 is connected to a servo motor, and the servo motor is electrically connected to the microprocessing center 4. The synchronous belt drive mechanism 11 accurately transmits the motion generated by one servo motor to the upper and lower belt drive mechanisms, thereby realizing synchronous control of the travel guide rail 5. The servo motor can also be arranged on the upper belt drive mechanism 9 or the lower belt drive mechanism 10.

[0022] A detection frame 6 is installed on both of the two travel guide rails 5 through electric travel sliders 12. The detection frame 6 is used to fixedly install the ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the ultrasonic receiver 3. The travel guide rail 5 provides a guiding and supporting structure, enabling the detection frame 6 to move along the guide rail. The electric travel slider 12 allows the detection frame 6 to move flexibly along the travel guide rail 5 to adapt to the detection requirements at different positions. Automatic movement is achieved through electric drive, reducing the need for manual operation. The combination of the travel guide rail 5 and the electric travel slider 12 enables the detection frame 6 to adapt to pile foundations of different sizes and shapes.

[0023] The ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the ultrasonic receiver 3 are installed on the belt of the lower belt drive mechanism 10. The ultrasonic transmitter 2 and the ultrasonic receiver 3 can move horizontally while following the belt, realizing dynamic detection of the top of the pile foundation and providing more comprehensive detection data.

[0024] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
