Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of geological prospecting and geophysical prospecting equipment, and in particular to a geophysical prospecting device for geological prospecting. Background Art

[0002] In some tunnel construction, existing geophysical exploration equipment is usually used to detect the geological conditions in front of the tunnel construction front. However, if new geological conditions appear around the tunnel that has been constructed, it is impossible to make timely judgments, such as the generation of cavities, abnormal groundwater, and other geological conditions that may affect the stability of the tunnel structure, and they cannot be discovered in time.

[0003] In existing geophysical exploration, ground penetrating radar is a geophysical method that uses antennas to transmit and receive high-frequency electromagnetic waves to detect the material properties and distribution patterns inside the medium. It has been widely used in underground imaging and detection, and is suitable for the detection of defects such as cavities, looseness, depletion and water content inside the soil around tunnels.

[0004] However, satellite positioning cannot be used for positioning in the tunnel, so auxiliary means are needed, such as panoramic cameras, which can accurately calibrate the position.

[0005] LiDAR can be used to detect changes that have already occurred and affected the shape of the tunnel. Laser radar measures the distance between the target and the radar by emitting high-intensity laser pulses, and can obtain the target's three-dimensional model and spectral reflection information. It is often used to detect surface defects in tunnels, such as cracks, deformation, and water seepage.

[0006] However, these devices usually need to be used separately, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The data obtained are not synchronized and have poor consistency, which also brings inconvenience to the maintenance of the tunnel in the later stage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for efficient and accurate detection methods and positioning of geological conditions with greater safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0034] The electric vehicle 1 includes a frame 11, wheels 12, a control box 13 and a power box 14. Four wheels 12 are installed on the frame 11. The control box 13 and the power box 14 are arranged on the same side of the frame 11. A battery module is detachably arranged in the power box 13. A controller is arranged in the control box 14 to control the electric vehicle 1, the geological radar 2, the panoramic camera 3 and the laser radar 4.

[0035] The geological radar 2 is arranged in the frame 11 and is downward close to the ground. The geological radar 2 is located in the central part of the frame 11.

[0036] The frame 11 is provided with a camera bracket 31 that can be rotatably lowered and erected on the other side of the control box 13 and the power box 14, and the panoramic camera 3 is provided on the camera bracket 31;

[0037] A radar bracket 41 that can be flipped 180 degrees is provided on the upper portion of one end of the vehicle frame 11, and a laser radar 4 is fixedly provided on the radar bracket 41;

[0038] After the camera bracket 31 lies down and the radar bracket 41 flips over and lies down, the camera bracket 31 and the panoramic camera 3 , the radar bracket 41 and the laser radar 4 are all located inside the vehicle frame 11 .

[0039] Furthermore, two of the wheels 12 of the electric trolley 1 are balancing trolley motor wheels, and the two balancing trolley motor wheels are arranged at the same end of the electric trolley 1 .

[0040] Furthermore, the battery module is a removable and rechargeable lithium battery module.

[0041] Furthermore, the camera bracket 31 includes a column 311 and a cross arm 312 , and a panoramic camera is provided on the cross arm 312 .

[0042] Furthermore, the upright post 311 and the cross arm 312 of the camera bracket 31 are retractable rods.

[0043] Furthermore, at least one LED lighting lamp can be detachably provided on the column 311 and / or the cross arm 312 of the camera bracket 31 to provide lighting when working in the tunnel.

[0044] Furthermore, the panoramic camera 3 is an infrared night vision panoramic camera.

[0045] Furthermore, the laser radar 4 is an omnidirectional laser radar.

[0046] Furthermore, the electric trolley 1 is provided with an electric winch 5 , which is arranged on the frame 11 on the other side corresponding to the radar bracket 41 .

[0047] Furthermore, a cable 51 is wound around the electric winch 5, and the cable 51 is a cable with steel wire. The cable 51 is connected to the control box 14 on the electric trolley 11, and the other end of the cable 51 is connected to the operating handle, so that the geophysical exploration device for geological exploration of the present invention can operate in the tunnel without human follow-up and can be controlled in real time.

[0048] For geophysical exploration of existing tunnels, this new system uses a panoramic camera and lidar to quickly and comprehensively scan the tunnel surface to locate cracks and leaks. Combined with historical data, this system can locate tunnel deformation and determine the spatial location and size of surface defects. Geological radar is then used to detect abnormal areas within the tunnel lining where defects are present, to determine whether separation or delamination has occurred. This combination of technologies allows for unified spatial and temporal analysis of the spatial locations of defects both inside and outside the tunnel, identifying their locations.

[0049] In this embodiment, the geological radar uses the transmitter in the antenna to transmit electromagnetic waves into the interior of the object and receives the reflected signals. However, differences in dielectric constants within the medium cause partial reflections, hindering the propagation of the electromagnetic waves. This means that when the dielectric properties of the lining exhibit discontinuities (such as reinforcement, delamination at the interface between different materials, cracks, or fissures), the electromagnetic waves will be reflected and recorded by the receiver through the receiving antenna. Because the dielectric constant of air is smaller than that of the tunnel structure, cavity defects can result in strong amplitude reflections.

[0050] The panoramic camera can capture the actual situation inside the tunnel in real time, forming a real-time image of the inner surface of the tunnel.

[0051] LiDAR is an omnidirectional laser radar, capable of 3D laser scanning. 3D laser scanning technology uses the principle of laser ranging to quickly build a 3D model of the structure being measured. The collection of high-density points captured by a 3D laser scanner is called a point cloud, which primarily includes information such as the points' 3D coordinates, grayscale value, color, and reflection intensity. The accuracy of the point cloud can be evaluated by measuring its stitching fit, the amount of noise, and color difference. By recording the 3D coordinates and reflection intensity of a large number of point clouds reflected from the surface of the measured object, LiDAR can quickly reconstruct a 3D model of the target.

[0052] The above examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which are only used to help understand the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art of the present invention can make some simple deductions, modifications or substitutions based on the concept of the present invention.
