Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of building monitoring equipment, in particular to a crack observation instrument. Background Art

[0002] A crack observation instrument is an instrument used to monitor crack changes and is widely used to detect crack width in structures such as bridges, tunnels, buildings, concrete pavements, and metal surfaces. Crack observation instruments can utilize non-contact image analysis technology, capturing images of cracks in the structure under test and then using algorithms to calculate the crack width. Another method involves contact displacement measurement, which directly measures the crack width to determine its actual width. Some crack observation instruments utilize high-precision optical systems and industrial CCD imaging technology. Through ultra-long-range non-contact image acquisition, interpolation techniques are used to generate a crack background image. After grayscale correction, the defect image is binarized to extract defect information.

[0003] Chinese patent CN220453293U discloses a crack observation instrument. This utility model uses an upper screw and a lower screw to cooperate with a threaded sleeve. When the screw sleeve is rotated, the upper screw and the lower screw move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the angle of the support base. The support legs support the lower screw. The crack observation instrument can be kept level with simple adjustments on uneven road surfaces, ensuring the accuracy of the observation data.

[0004] By comparing the above-mentioned utility model, it can be seen that the utility model can maintain good stability when measuring the ground, but it cannot observe locations such as walls. It requires auxiliary support to maintain stability during use, so that the measurement structure may be affected by external factors. The functionality is relatively simple and the flexibility is not high. Therefore, this utility model is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a crack observation instrument, comprising an outer frame, an adjustment frame arranged at the bottom of the outer frame, a fixing bracket fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the outer frame, and a fixing seat arranged inside the fixing bracket, wherein a support assembly is arranged outside the adjustment frame, and a limit assembly is arranged inside the fixing seat;

[0008] The limiting assembly includes an adjusting cylinder rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing seat, a latch rod threadedly connected to the inside of the adjusting cylinder, a locking pin threadedly connected to the top of the latch rod, a locking rope arranged at the bottom of the locking pin, a rotating seat fixedly installed at the bottom of the latch rod, several tension rods rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating seat, a rotating base rotatably connected to the bottom of the tension rod, a mounting plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the adjusting cylinder, and several observation probes fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of rotatably connected adjusting nuts are provided on the top of the outer frame, and the bottoms of the adjusting nuts are embedded in the top of the adjusting frame and are rotatably connected to the adjusting frame through threads.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is: by arranging an adjusting nut and fixing the adjusting frame on the outside of the outer frame, rotating the adjusting nut can control the relative distance between the outer frame and the adjusting frame, thereby controlling the overall height of the device.

[0011] Furthermore, an annular frame is provided inside the fixing frame, and the fixing seat is vertically inserted into the annular frame and is rotationally connected to the fixing frame through threads.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is: an annular frame is provided on the inner side of the fixing frame and is threadedly connected to the fixing seat, so that the height of the fixing seat can be adjusted according to actual use needs, so as to better perform observation.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of plug interfaces are provided on the side surface of the adjustment frame, and one end of the limiting plate is embedded in the plug interface and fixed to the adjustment frame by a buckle.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is: providing an insertion interface on the outside of the adjustment frame for use with a limit plate, and controlling the internal depth of the limit plate in the insertion interface can achieve the effect of controlling the position of the support legs.

[0015] Furthermore, a threaded notch is provided on the side of the adjustment seat, the top of the threaded barrel is embedded in the threaded notch and is rotatably connected to the adjustment seat through a thread, and the ends of the fixing rope and the traction rope are respectively embedded in the threaded barrel and the adjustment seat and the two are rotatably connected.

[0017] Furthermore, one end of the limiting slide rod transversely penetrates the side wall of the movable groove and is slidably connected to the fixed seat, and the two ends of the limiting spring are fixedly installed on the limiting slide rod and the side wall of the movable groove respectively.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is: by setting the limiting slide bar to move inside the movable groove and cooperating with the upper limit spring to reset, the fixing rope and the traction rope can remain in a state of being stretched and straightened.

[0019] Furthermore, a through slot is provided inside the latch rod and the rotating base, and the locking rope passes vertically through the through slot and is fixedly installed on the bottom and the rotating rod inside the rotating base.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that a through slot is provided inside the latch rod and the rotating seat for the locking rope to move, so that the rotating base can be smoothly pulled closer to the rotating seat.

[0021] Furthermore, a rotatably connected hinge is provided on one side of the two adjacent tension rods, and the tension rods on both sides of the hinge rotate unidirectionally around the hinge.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is: a hinge is set on the side of the tension rod for connection, so that when the locking rope pulls the rotating base close to the rotating seat, the tension rod will close along the hinge to form a triangular state, squeezing the inner wall of the crack.

[0023] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention provides a crack observation instrument with the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The crack observation instrument rotates the adjusting nut, and the end of the adjusting nut moves inside the adjusting frame, driving the adjusting frame to move relative to the outer frame. The outer frame is pressed to push the adjusting frame, driving the limit plate and the supporting feet to squeeze the wall outside the crack, and then the latch rod, the tension rod and the rotating base are inserted into the crack. While pinching the adjusting tube, the latch rod is rotated into the crack. Then, the latch rod is pinched and the locking pin is rotated. The locking pin moves in the latch rod, pulling the locking rope to contract. The contraction of the locking rope drives the rotating base closer to the rotating seat, thereby squeezing the tension rod. The tension rod is folded on both sides of the hinge under force, so that the tension rod forms a triangle shape to squeeze the inner wall of the crack, thereby achieving initial fixation of the device.

[0025] 2. The crack observation instrument is screwed into the interior of the adjustment seat by rotating the threaded barrel. After the threaded barrel is embedded in the adjustment seat, it will continuously pull the traction rope and the fixed rope closer together. The movement of the traction rope pulls the limit slide bar to continuously squeeze the limit spring. After the limit spring shrinks to the limit, the pin rod, traction rope, fixed rope and connecting frame form a triangular stable state. The stable rotating sleeve of the connecting frame rotates on the outside of the limit plate, thereby cooperating with the support feet to form a stable support state, which solves the problems of traditional crack observation instruments that require assistance to maintain stability during use, are relatively single in functionality, and have low flexibility.
