Specific embodiments

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a portable bridge crack detection device, including a connecting rod 1, a probe 5 and a main body 15. A flat plate 2 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting rod 1. A runner 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the flat plate 2 through a bearing. An installation bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower end of the connecting rod 1. One end of the probe 5 passes through the installation bracket 4 and is fixedly installed thereon. A support rod 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the connecting rod 1. The main body 15 is obliquely installed on the upper end surface of the support rod 14. A connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 1. Support legs 8 are installed on both sides of the connecting block 7. The other end of the support leg 8 is rotatably connected to an auxiliary wheel 11. A direction control unit 6 is installed between the connecting rod 1 and the runner 3.

[0027] Such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, the structure of the bridge crack detection device in the present utility model is similar to that of the existing bridge crack detection device. For example, the prior art is CN220013302U. The main improvement of the present utility model lies in facilitating the accurate and stable detection of bridge cracks. The present utility model supports the whole through the runner 3 at the lower end of the connecting rod 1 cooperating with the auxiliary wheels 11 on the side walls of the two support legs 8. The probe 5 is installed on the mounting bracket 4 on the outer wall of the lower end of the connecting rod 1, and the main unit 15 is inclined and installed on the support rod 14 at the upper end of the connecting rod 1. When it is necessary to detect the bridge crack, start the main unit 15 and the probe 5 to work. With the support of the support legs 8 cooperating with the auxiliary wheels 11 for the connecting rod 1, the detection end of the probe 5 is vertically downward irradiated on the crack. The worker holds the connecting rod 1 and pushes it. The angle of the probe 5 will not shift, and the runner 3 can rotate on the bottom surface of the flat plate 2. Furthermore, the traveling angle can be adjusted, so that the probe 5 stably and accurately detects the crack, ensuring the accuracy of the crack detection and improving the practicability.

[0028] As Figure 2 , 3 As shown in the figure, both sides of the connecting block 7 are rotatably connected with a rotating rod 13 and a limiting rod 9. One end of the support leg 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 13, and the limiting rod 9 limits the rotation angle of the support leg 8. The support leg 8 rotates on the side wall of the connecting block 7 through the rotating rod 13. When not in use, the support leg 8 can be rotated to the side of the connecting rod 1, so that the support leg 8 is rotated to be parallel to the connecting rod 1, and then the support leg 8 is stored, which is convenient for carrying. When in use, rotate the support leg 8 again to make it contact with the limiting rod 9. The limiting rod 9 limits the rotation of the support leg 8, so that an included angle is formed between the support leg 8 and the connecting rod 1, and then the whole can be stably supported, which is convenient for use.

[0029] As Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an elastic sleeve 10 is embedded and installed on the side wall of the support leg 8, and the elastic sleeve 10 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 9. When the support leg 8 is rotated and used, the elastic sleeve 10 on the support leg 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 9. The elastic sleeve 10 can clamp the limiting rod 9 through its elastic force, thereby maintaining the stability of the support leg 8 after expansion, improving the stability during the overall movement, and being convenient for use.

[0030] As Figure 2 As shown in the figure, both sides of the connecting block 7 are inclined plane structures, and the support leg 8 rotates along the inclined plane of the connecting block 7. When the support leg 8 is expanded and used, it rotates outwards along the inclined plane of the connecting block 7. Furthermore, the two expanded support legs 8 form a spread-eagle structure, so that the support leg 8 cooperates with the auxiliary wheel 11 to improve the stability of the overall support.

[0031] As Figure 3As shown, a protective rod 12 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 4 through bolts, and the lower end of the protective rod 12 extends below the probe 5; when the connecting rod 1 tilts forward, the protective rod 12 contacts the ground first, preventing the probe 5 from colliding with the ground and being damaged, thereby improving the protection performance.

[0032] As Figure 4 , 5 shown, the direction control unit 6 includes mounting openings 61 formed in the lower end surfaces of the flat plate 2 and the connecting rod 1 and communicating with each other. A first end face gear sleeve 63 is rotatably connected in the mounting opening 61. A second end face gear sleeve 64 is installed on the upper surface of the runner 3. The first end face gear sleeve 63 and the second end face gear sleeve 64 are meshed and connected. A transmission rod 62 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first end face gear sleeve 63. One end of the transmission rod 62 passes through the connecting rod 1 and is rotatably connected thereto; when it is necessary to detect cracks with the probe 5, the transmission rod 62 can be rotated. The transmission rod 62 drives the first end face gear sleeve 63 to rotate. The first end face gear sleeve 63 drives the second end face gear sleeve 64 to rotate. The second end face gear sleeve 64 drives the runner 3 to rotate, thereby controlling the angle of the runner 3, facilitating the control of the traveling direction, and facilitating the detection of cracks by the probe 5.

[0033] As Figure 4 shown, one end of the transmission rod 62 located outside the connecting rod 1 has a T-shaped structure; the T-shaped transmission rod 62 facilitates the operator to manually rotate the transmission rod 62, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the runner 3 and controlling the traveling direction.

[0034] The implementation steps in this embodiment: when it is necessary to detect bridge cracks, rotate the support leg 8 so that the elastic sleeve 10 on the support leg 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limit rod 9. The elastic sleeve 10 can clamp the limit rod 9 through its elastic force, thereby maintaining the stability of the support leg 8 after expansion. The runner 3 at the lower end of the connecting rod 1 cooperates with the auxiliary wheels 11 on the side walls of the two support legs 8 to support the whole. The probe 5 is installed on the mounting bracket 4 on the outer wall of the lower end of the connecting rod 1. The main unit 15 is inclined and installed on the support rod 14 at the upper end of the connecting rod 1. Start the main unit 15 and the probe 5 to work. Utilize the support of the support leg 8 and the auxiliary wheel 11 for the connecting rod 1 to make the detection end of the probe 5 vertically face downwards to irradiate the crack. The worker holds the connecting rod 1 and pushes it. The angle of the probe 5 will not shift, enabling the probe 5 to stably and accurately detect the crack. The angle of the runner 3 can also be controlled by rotating the transmission rod 62. The transmission rod 62 drives the first end face gear sleeve 63 to rotate. The first end face gear sleeve 63 drives the second end face gear sleeve 64 to rotate. The second end face gear sleeve 64 drives the runner 3 to rotate, thereby controlling the angle of the runner 3, facilitating the control of the traveling direction, and facilitating the detection of cracks by the probe 5.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
