It has the advantages of being small, flexible, inexpensive, simple in structure, and providing stable and reliable data.

[0029] A sensor is installed on the detection platform, which includes an infrared thermal imaging scanner 101, a solid-state three-dimensional laser radar 102, an ultra-wideband locator 103 and an inertial navigation unit 104. The solid-state three-dimensional laser radar 102 is located at the top of the front side of the sensor.

[0030] A fixed point positioning system 4 matching the solid-state three-dimensional laser radar 102 is provided in the tunnel.

[0031] The bottom of the detection platform is connected to the base 105 via a vertical rod. The bottom of the connecting device is connected to the top of the mobile trolley 3 via a telescopic rod 203. The top of the telescopic rod 203 is connected to a releasable clamping claw 201 via a rotating shaft 202. The releasable clamping claw 201 is used to clamp the vertical rod at the bottom of the detection platform 1.

[0032] The mobile cart 3 includes a cart box 301, which is equipped with a shock-absorbing device. The shock-absorbing device includes a vertical shock-absorbing spring 311 and a transverse shock-absorbing link 312. The bottom of the vertical shock-absorbing spring 311 is fixedly connected to the vertical shock-absorbing base 303, and the top of the vertical shock-absorbing spring 311 is fixedly connected to the transverse shock-absorbing link 312. The shock-absorbing device also includes a shock-absorbing protection device 310 and a vertical rubber damping shock absorber 302. The vertical rubber damping shock absorber 302 is fixed above the transverse shock-absorbing link 312, and the shock-absorbing protection device 310 is arranged around the shock-absorbing device.

[0033] A pulley 308 is provided at the bottom of the mobile trolley 3 , and the pulley 308 and the shock absorbing device are connected via a telescopic rod 304 .

[0034] The pulley 308 is connected to the connecting plate 307, and the first support rod 305 and the second support rod 306 are provided on both sides of the telescopic rod 304. The first support rod 305 and the second support rod 306 each include two rods, which are connected by a rotating shaft. One rod is hingedly connected to the trolley box 301, and the other rod is hingedly connected to the connecting plate 307.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] As another embodiment, this second embodiment proposes, based on the first embodiment, a more specific tunnel over-excavation, under-excavation and water leakage detection system:

[0037] The connecting device consists of a releasable clamping jaw 201, a rotating shaft 202, a telescopic rod 203, and a reinforcement plate 204. The releasable clamping jaw 201 is used to install and remove the detection platform; the rotating shaft 202 and telescopic rod 203 are used to adjust the height and orientation of the detection platform; and the reinforcement plate 204 uses triangular steel to secure the telescopic rod 203 to the upper cover of the mobile cart 3, further strengthening the stability of the entire detection device.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the mobile trolley 3 consists of a trolley box 301, a vertical rubber damping shock absorber 302, a vertical shock absorbing base 303, a shock absorbing protection device 310, a vertical shock absorbing spring 311, a transverse shock absorbing connecting rod 312, a telescopic rod 304, a first support rod 305, a second support rod 306, a connecting plate 307, and a pulley 308. The vertical rubber damping shock absorber 302, the vertical shock absorbing base 303, the shock absorbing protection device 310, the vertical shock absorbing spring 311, and the transverse shock absorbing connecting rod 312 constitute a shock absorbing device which is placed inside the trolley box 301 and is used to absorb ground vibrations and impacts during the detection process. The main working mechanism is that the shaking generated by the trolley during operation is absorbed by the vertical shock absorbing spring. At the same time, the expansion and contraction of the vertical shock absorbing spring 311 will cause the vertical rubber damping shock absorber 302 to generate a certain amount of dynamic potential energy, and the friction between the vertical rubber damping shock absorber 302 and the shock absorbing protection device 310 will offset part of the potential energy, thereby reducing the shaking of the trolley, ensuring the stability and reliability of the detection data, and protecting the trolley body and internal components from damage. Function: The telescopic rod 304, first support rod 305, second support rod 306, and pulley 308 are connected by a connecting plate 307. The support rod and telescopic rod adopt a freely retractable design, ensuring that the mobile vehicle 3 can easily navigate various uneven tunnel surfaces caused by construction during tunnel movement. This greatly enhances the terrain adaptability of the mobile vehicle 3 and further demonstrates its flexibility. The coordinated operation of the support rod and telescopic rod provides dual stability during the vehicle's operation. The mobile vehicle 3 of this utility model adopts an eight-wheel drive structure, which strengthens the vehicle's stability during operation and ensures steady progress in various complex environments. The mobile vehicle is equipped with a high-precision encoder for precise control. The vehicle has a built-in obstacle avoidance system and navigation system, which can autonomously identify obstacles in the tunnel and plan the optimal driving path, ensuring a safe and efficient inspection process. The obstacle avoidance system uses a combination of laser radar and infrared sensors to achieve real-time detection and distance measurement of obstacles ahead. The navigation system uses pre-input tunnel maps and real-time positioning information to enable autonomous navigation of the vehicle.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] As another embodiment, this embodiment three proposes, on the basis of embodiments one and two, a more specific tunnel over-excavation and under-excavation and water leakage detection system, wherein the detection platform integrates a variety of sensors for real-time collection of data such as the internal structure of the tunnel, water leakage conditions and location information; the connecting device is used to connect the detection platform with the mobile trolley 3, and is also used to adjust the height and orientation of the detection platform according to the detection requirements to achieve all-round detection; the mobile trolley 3 serves as the carrier of the detection platform and is responsible for autonomous driving in the tunnel; the fixed point positioning system 4 adopts ultra-wideband technology to ensure the precise positioning of the detection platform; the data processing and analysis center 5 is responsible for receiving, processing and analyzing the detection data and generating a detection report.

[0042] The solid-state 3D laser radar 101 is used to collect 3D point cloud data from the tunnel interior in real time. Through comparative analysis, it can accurately measure the difference between the actual tunnel profile and the designed profile, thereby calculating the amount of over-excavation or under-excavation. The ultra-wideband locator 103, in conjunction with the fixed-point positioning system 4 installed within the tunnel, enables precise positioning of the inspection platform. UWB technology offers advantages such as high precision and strong anti-interference capabilities, ensuring accurate positioning even in tunnels without network coverage. The ultra-wideband locator 103 provides posture and acceleration information of the inspection platform during its movement, which, combined with UWB positioning data, further improves detection accuracy. The infrared thermal imaging scanner 104 utilizes infrared thermal imaging technology to precisely identify leaks within the tunnel, leveraging the temperature difference between leaking and non-leaking areas. The infrared thermal imaging scanner boasts high resolution and a wide field of view, enabling coverage of every corner of the tunnel and ensuring comprehensive inspection. The base 105 ensures the stable placement of the inspection platform.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixed-point positioning system 4 is arranged with fixed points at each end of the tunnel, at one-quarter of its length, and in the middle, forming a positioning network within the tunnel. These fixed points utilize high-precision UWB base stations, which receive and process positioning signals from the inspection PTZ in real time, ensuring accurate PTZ position information during inspection.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the data processing and analysis center 5 receives raw data from the inspection PTZ, including 3D point cloud data, infrared thermal imaging data, positioning data, and IMU data. The data processing and analysis center uses advanced algorithms and models to process and analyze this raw data, generating a 3D model of the tunnel's internal structure, reports on overbreak and underbreak, and maps of water leakage distribution. The data processing and analysis center also provides data visualization, allowing users to intuitively understand the actual conditions within the tunnel.

[0045] The implementation steps of this tunnel over-excavation and under-excavation and water leakage detection system are as follows: Figure 6As shown:

[0046] Step 1: Install UWB fixed points at preset locations in the tunnel to build a fixed point positioning system 4.

[0047] Step 2: Install the detection platform on the mobile vehicle 3 and perform debugging and calibration.

[0048] Step 3: Start the mobile car 3, which drives autonomously according to the preset navigation path, and the detection pan-tilt head starts collecting data at the same time.

[0049] Step 4: The data processing and analysis center 5 receives and processes the collected data and generates a test report.

[0050] Step 5: Analyze and evaluate the structural problems inside the tunnel based on the inspection report.

[0051] It should be noted that the parts in this embodiment that are the same or similar to those in Embodiments 1 and 2 can be referenced to each other and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0052] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
