[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] See also Figures 1 to 5 The automatic monitoring device for settlement of a temporary steel bridge of the present invention comprises a monitoring mechanism 1 and a supporting mechanism 2.
[0022] The monitoring mechanism 1 includes a main container 101, a capacitance displacement sensor 104 and a controller 109; wherein,
[0023] The main container 101 is divided into a lower container and an upper container connected to the center of the top surface of the lower container, and the plane size of the upper container is smaller than that of the lower container; the main container 101 is fixed on the container bottom plate 113, and a plurality of connecting holes 108 are provided on the four edges of the container bottom plate 113; a first liquid filling port is provided at the lower part of one side plate of the lower container, and a liquid filling valve 107 is installed on the first liquid filling port, and a rectangular second liquid filling port is provided at the upper part of the side plate, and a liquid filling door 111 is hinged on the second liquid filling port, and a sealing ring 112 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the liquid filling door 111, and the sealing ring 112 can provide a sealing effect for the liquid filling door 111, so that air is not easy to enter the interior of the main container 101 through the gap between the liquid filling door 111 and the second liquid filling port; an air vent is provided at the upper part of the other side plate of the lower container, and an air exchange valve 110 is installed in the air vent;
[0024] The capacitive displacement sensor 104 is installed in the shielding sleeve 103. The top of the shielding sleeve 103 is connected to the plastic hose 102. The signal line of the capacitive displacement sensor 104 is passed through the plastic hose 102. The plastic hose 102 passes through the through hole opened in the top plate.
[0025] The controller 109 is mounted on the front end plate of the lower container and is electrically connected to the signal line of the capacitive displacement sensor 104 . A communication module is installed in the controller 109 .
[0026] The support mechanism 2 includes a support base plate 201, a worm gear mechanism and a support top plate 208; wherein,
[0027] The support base plate 201 is rectangular and has a support side plate 202 fixed on each side of the top surface. The two ends of the top surface of the support base plate 201 are each fixed with a support end plate 203 with a top surface of an upper semicircular arc surface.
[0028] The worm 205 of the worm gear mechanism is connected between the middle parts of the two supporting side plates 202. One end of the worm shaft passes through one supporting side plate 202 and is then installed with a handwheel. The worm wheel 206 of the worm gear mechanism is connected between the middle parts of the two supporting end plates 203 through the worm shaft 204 and is meshed with the upper part of the worm 205.
[0029] The four peripheral edges of the supporting top plate 208 are also provided with connection holes corresponding one by one to the connection holes on the container bottom plate 113, so that the supporting top plate 208 is bolted to the bottom surface of the container bottom plate 113, enabling the main container 101 to be detached from the supporting top plate 208, thereby saving more space when carrying the automatic monitoring device of the present utility model; two guiding plates 209 are fixed on the bottom surface of the supporting top plate 208, and the bottom surface of the guiding plate 209 is a semi-circular arc surface in the upper part, so that the two guiding plates 209 can ride on the top surfaces of the two supporting end plates 203 correspondingly and slidably. A connecting plate 207 with its lower part sleeved on the worm wheel shaft 204 is also fixed on the bottom surface of the supporting top plate 208.
[0030] When monitoring the settlement of the steel temporary bridge, multiple automatic monitoring devices of the present utility model are adopted. First, liquid is filled into the corresponding main container 101 through the liquid filling valve 111 of each automatic monitoring device to ensure that the liquid levels inside the main containers 101 of multiple automatic monitoring devices are the same. Then, the multiple automatic monitoring devices are installed at equal intervals and at the same height on the monitoring points on the surface of the steel temporary bridge. When the elevation of the surface of the steel temporary bridge at a certain monitoring point changes, the liquid level in the main container 101 of the automatic monitoring device at this monitoring point will change relative to the liquid levels in the main containers 101 of the automatic monitoring devices at other monitoring points, causing a change in the relative position of the capacitive displacement sensor 104. By comparing the detection data of the capacitive displacement sensors 104 in multiple automatic monitoring devices, the liquid level changes in the main containers 101 in multiple automatic monitoring devices can be measured, and thus the relative settlement conditions of the monitoring points can be calculated to achieve the automatic monitoring effect of the settlement of the steel temporary bridge. The controller 109 can receive the signals transmitted by the capacitive displacement sensor 104 and transmit them to the Internet cloud platform through the communication module, so that the signals transmitted by multiple capacitive displacement sensors 104 can be transmitted to the cloud platform for comparison and processing.
[0031] The support mechanism 2 can adjust the verticality of the main container 101; by rotating the worm 205 through the handwheel, the worm 205 drives the worm wheel 206 to rotate, but the worm wheel 206 cannot drive the worm 205 to rotate, so that the worm wheel 206 can obtain a self-locking effect after rotation. When the worm wheel 206 rotates, the worm wheel 206 drives the connecting plate 207 and the supporting top plate 208 to rotate together through the worm wheel shaft 204, so as to change the vertical state of the container bottom plate 113 and the main container 101, enabling the main container 101 to remain vertical after installation and preventing the liquid inside the main container 101 from tilting to one side. When the connecting plate 207 drives the supporting top plate 208 to rotate, the supporting top plate 208 can slide on the top surfaces of the two supporting end plates 203 correspondingly through the two guiding plates 209, so that the supporting top plate 208 can obtain an auxiliary support effect, thereby improving the stability of the main container 101.
[0032] In an environment with a relatively high temperature or a dry area, to prevent the evaporation of moisture in the main container 101, the liquid addition door 111 can be opened to add non-volatile silicone oil or liquid paraffin into the main container 101, so that the silicone oil or paraffin covers the surface of the liquid to form an oil film with a thickness of 1 mm to 2 mm to isolate the air, thereby restricting the evaporation of moisture in the container 101.
[0033] When the liquid is injected into the main container 101 through the liquid addition valve 107, the liquid will occupy a certain volume, resulting in a decrease in the gas volume in the main container 101 and an increase in the gas pressure. After the ventilation valve 110 is opened, it allows the outside air to enter, which can effectively balance the pressure difference inside and outside the main container 101 and prevent damage to the main container 101 and the shielding sleeve 103 due to excessive pressure.
[0034] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the present utility model and not for limiting the present utility model. Those skilled in the relevant technical fields can also make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also fall within the scope of the present utility model, which should be defined by each claim.
