Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a walking detection device for a steel bridge stiffening plate weld, and relates to the technical field of fatigue crack detection of orthotropic steel bridge decks. Background Art
[0002] Orthotropic steel bridge decks, with their outstanding advantages of light weight, high bearing capacity, and wide applicability, are increasingly being used in bridge engineering. However, due to the structural characteristics of orthotropic steel bridge decks, fatigue damage is common and has become a major problem for long-span steel bridges during operation. Once cracks develop in a steel bridge deck, if the problem is not discovered and addressed promptly, it can lead to serious accidents, resulting in significant economic losses and social impact. In actual engineering, bridge personnel involved in fatigue cracking will conduct crack inspections and assessments to facilitate crack repair. Therefore, the efficiency and quality of bridge crack detection play a key role in repair work and are of great significance to ensuring the safety and durability of bridges during operation.
[0003] During the operation of steel structure bridges, regular inspections are carried out, as well as targeted special inspections. Fatigue crack detection generally adopts non-destructive testing methods, namely penetration testing, magnetic particle testing and ultrasonic testing. At present, for the maintenance and inspection of steel bridges, regular inspections are mainly manual inspections, which are mainly aimed at the detection of cracks that have occurred, and the locations of the defects are recorded and tracked. Manual inspection requires high quality, professional knowledge and experience of the inspectors. However, manual inspection has the disadvantages of large workload and uneven inspection quality, which has an adverse effect on the inspection work and subsequent repair work. Since there are many bridges in my country that use orthotropic steel bridge decks, manual inspection can no longer meet production needs, and a device that can automatically detect is needed.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present utility model, an annular conveyor belt 14 is symmetrically installed on the base. The front and rear ends of the conveyor belt are both wound on a pulley 15 driven to rotate by a motor for horizontal reciprocating transmission. A plurality of support pulleys 16 arranged front and back are also provided on the conveyor belt between the front and rear pulleys. The horizontally movable seat is fixedly connected to the upper belt body of the conveyor belt.
[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transversely movable seat includes two vertical plates 17 distributed front and back, the two vertical plates are fixedly connected as a whole via a supporting crossbeam 18, and a cover plate 19 is fixed between the tops of the two vertical plates.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, there are two longitudinal movable seats on the left and right, and the longitudinal movable seats and the transverse movable seats are connected via a longitudinally extending slider rail moving pair 20, and the longitudinal movable seats are screwed with a fixing screw 21 for tightening on the rail.
[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, a vertical lifting guide groove 22 is provided on the longitudinal movable seat body, and the lifting seat body is vertically inserted into the lifting guide groove. A vertical groove bar 23 is opened on the longitudinal movable seat body, and a locking screw 24 screwed to the lifting seat body is passed through the vertical groove bar.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present utility model, two longitudinal movable bases are provided on the left and right sides, the phased array probe is mainly used for detecting internal defects of the weld, and the industrial camera is mainly used for identifying the external morphology and defects of the weld.
[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, the steel bridge stiffening plate includes a top wall plate 25, and U-shaped ribs 26 are symmetrically welded to the bottom of the left and right sides of the top wall plate, wherein the U-shaped ribs have U-row openings facing upward and are welded to the bottom surface of the top wall plate.
[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder.
[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the steel bridge stiffener weld detection device is used to detect the U-rib welds between the U-shaped ribs and the top wall plate. The working principle is as follows:
[0039] 1. Apply current to all electromagnets to generate magnetism, and align the middle of the device with the middle of the two U-shaped ribs so that the electromagnets can be stably adsorbed on the bottom of the U-shaped ribs on both sides.
[0040] 2. Adjust the height, horizontal and vertical position of the lifting seat so that the detection equipment can be aligned with the U-rib weld.
[0041] 3. Control the conveyor belt to drive the detection equipment to move along the length direction (horizontally) of the U-shaped rib for detection until it moves to the maximum position, and one round of detection is completed.
[0042] 4. After a round of testing, the travel assembly needs to be moved. First, the electromagnet of the travel front support structure is de-energized to make it lose its adsorption capacity. Then, the telescopic cylinder of the travel front support structure is activated to extend and move forward until it stops at the maximum position. Then, the electromagnet is energized to make it adsorb at the maximum position.
[0043] 5. Turn off the power to the electromagnet of the middle support structure of the walking part to release the adsorption capacity. At this time, the telescopic cylinder of the front support is shortened, and the telescopic cylinder of the rear support is extended, so that the middle support structure of the walking part moves forward. When it moves to the maximum position, the electromagnet is energized to make it continue to adsorb on the U-shaped rib.
[0044] 6. Cut off the power to the electromagnet supporting the rear part, start its telescopic cylinder, shorten it and move it forward. When it moves to the maximum position, energize the electromagnet so that it continues to be adsorbed on the U-shaped rib. At this point, the forward movement step of the walking assembly is completed.
[0045] 7. Since the detection equipment also moves forward with the walking assembly, start the conveyor belt first to return the detection equipment to the end point of the previous round of detection.
[0046] 8. Repeat step 3 to complete another round of testing.
[0047] 9. Repeat steps 3-8 to complete the inspection of a set of welds.
[0048] The present invention utilizes a telescopic cylinder to move to ensure a smooth walking process, can reduce the probability of misalignment of the detection device, and can improve the detection accuracy. Detection equipment is provided on both sides to improve the detection efficiency.
