Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bridge crack detection, in particular to a crack width measuring instrument used for bridge detection. Background Art
[0002] The purpose of bridge crack detection is to evaluate the structural health of the bridge, discover potential safety hazards, and provide a scientific basis for maintenance and protection. By detecting bridge cracks, we can understand information such as the bridge's load-bearing capacity, service life, and weak links, so as to formulate targeted maintenance measures. In the process of bridge crack detection, a crack width gauge is required. A crack width gauge refers to a professional instrument used to detect crack width and surface microscopic defects in concrete structures.
[0003] A search revealed a patent document with the patent publication number CN210441825U, which discloses a crack width gauge for bridge inspection. This device relates to the field of measuring equipment technology and aims to address the high labor costs in existing technologies. The key technical aspects of the device are: a width gauge body, a display screen mounted on the body, and a camera. The display screen is equipped with a scale. One end of the camera is connected to the display via a cable, and the other end of the camera is equipped with a measuring lens for recording images. The camera is cylindrical, and a fixed ring is mounted on the outer wall of the camera and slides along its axis. The fixed ring is rotatably mounted with at least three brackets for supporting the camera. The brackets support the camera, eliminating the need for staff to constantly hold the camera in their hands, effectively reducing labor costs.
[0004] However, it still has the following disadvantages in actual use:
[0005] The above-mentioned crack width gauge for bridge inspection is provided with a display screen and a camera on the width gauge body, a scale is provided on the display screen, one end of the camera is connected to the display screen via a cable, and the other end of the camera is provided with a measuring lens for taking pictures. The provided cable facilitates the workers to adjust the position of the measuring lens on the bridge and measure cracks at different positions of the bridge. However, it is inconvenient to reel in the unfolded cable, which brings inconvenience to the workers in carrying the width gauge body. The cable may even get tangled, making it inconvenient to unfold the cable again, affecting the reuse of the width gauge body.
[0006] 2. The above-mentioned crack width gauge for bridge inspection, the camera is cylindrical, and a fixing ring is provided on the outer wall of the camera and slides along the axial direction of the camera, and a plurality of grooves are provided on the outer wall of the fixing ring along its circumference. In this embodiment, three grooves are provided, and the grooves extend to the bottom end of the fixing ring, and the two inner walls of the grooves are arranged opposite to each other and are rotatably connected to a connecting block by a rotating shaft. The end of the connecting block away from the rotating shaft is connected to a bracket, and the bracket is in an arc shape that fits the camera, and a limiting block is fixedly connected on the outer wall of the camera and above the fixing ring. The limiting block is annular and is sleeved on the outer wall of the camera for limiting the position of the fixing ring to prevent the fixing ring from separating from the camera during movement. A card slot is provided at one end of the bracket along the circumference of the camera, and there are two card slots, and the two card slots are arranged along the axial direction of the camera. The other end of the bracket is provided with a card block that is engaged with the card slot. Specifically, the card block is hemispherical. The cam is secured to the rear of the camera head and is secured to the rear of the camera head with a plurality of teeth disposed on the inner wall of the camera head. And there is no contact between the measuring lens and the crack, which can avoid scratches on the measuring lens during long-term use. When the crack width gauge is not in use, rotate the bracket and, at the same time, move the fixing ring and the bracket upwards so that the fixing ring is against the limit block, and the inner walls of the three brackets are all in contact with the outer walls of the camera. The ends of the two adjacent brackets facing each other are in contact, and the card blocks are extended into the corresponding card slots, which can firmly fix the brackets. At this time, the protective cover is put on the measuring lens to protect the measuring lens, which can prevent external dust from adhering to the surface of the measuring lens, and can further improve the accuracy of the crack width gauge. However, when the camera is performing bridge crack detection, the three brackets are in direct contact with the bridge, resulting in greater friction. Moving the bracket directly on the bridge will cause greater wear, which brings inconvenience to the movement of the camera and the detection of cracks at different positions on the bridge, and even reduces the service life of the bracket.
[0007] To this end, we provide a crack width gauge for bridge inspection to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
