[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1: The utility model provides Figures 1 to 8 The highway bridge settlement measuring instrument shown includes a measuring rope 3 spanning between a reference pier 1 and a measuring pier 2. A first mounting base 4 is fixedly provided on the reference pier 1, and a second mounting base 5 is fixedly provided on the measuring pier 2.
[0030] A pull rod 12 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting base 5 , and one end of the measuring rope 3 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 12 .
[0031] A support member is provided on the first mounting seat 4 , and the measuring rope 3 is wound around the support member for support.
[0032] The support member includes a fixed pulley 11, which is rotatably connected to the first mounting seat 4. The measuring rope 3 passes around the fixed pulley 11 and is in sliding contact with the fixed pulley 11.
[0033] The end of the measuring rope 3, away from the pull rod 12, passes over a fixed pulley 11 and is then extended vertically downwards to be fixedly connected to a weight 6. This weight pulls the measuring rope 3 taut. The weight of the weight 6 is significantly greater than that of the measuring rope 3, ensuring that the measuring rope 3 remains taut. The weight of the measuring pier 2 is significantly greater than that of the weight 6, ensuring that the weight 6 can be pulled upwards.
[0034] Two stoppers 7 are fixed to the reference pier 1. Both are vertical blocks with an L-shaped cross-section. The two stoppers 7 are symmetrically positioned, with the weight 6 positioned between them and slidingly engaging with them. A vertical guide slot is formed between the two stoppers 7 and the reference pier 1, and the weight 6 slides within the slot. This ensures smooth up and down movement of the weight 6 while preventing it from deflecting.
[0035] A measuring piece is provided on the limit block 7 for measuring the height of the rising weight 6 .
[0036] The measuring piece includes scale lines 8, and each stop block 7 is engraved with scale lines 8 in the vertical direction for comparison. The bottom edge of the weight block 6 is aligned with the scale lines 8 for measurement.
[0037] Working Principle of Example 1: During use, if the measuring bridge pier 2 experiences vertical settlement, it descends. This lowers the second mounting base 5, which in turn lowers the pull rod 12. The pull rod 12 then pulls the measuring rope 3, tilting it. During this process, the friction of the measuring rope 3 rotates the fixed pulley 11, simultaneously pulling the weight 6 upward.
[0038] The subsequent status diagram is as follows Figure 10 shown.
[0039] Before the measuring pier 2 settles, the length of the measuring rope 3 between the reference pier 1 and the measuring pier 2 is known as b.
[0040] After the measurement pier 2 settles, the length of the measuring rope 3 between the reference pier 1 and the measurement pier 2 is a, and the distance the measurement pier 2 settles is c.
[0041] At this time, a=b+the distance the weight 6 rises. The value of a is known. Since the values of a and b are known, the value of c can be calculated according to the Pythagorean theorem, thereby obtaining the settlement value of the measured bridge pier 2.
[0042] If measuring pier 2 deflects and settles, it pulls second mounting base 5 away from reference pier 1, which in turn drives pull rod 12 away from reference pier 1. Pull rod 12 pulls measuring rope 3, tilting it. During this process, friction from measuring rope 3 rotates fixed pulley 11, simultaneously pulling weight 6 upward.
[0043] The subsequent status diagram is as follows Figure 11 shown.
[0044] Before the measuring pier 2 settles, the length of the measuring rope 3 between the reference pier 1 and the measuring pier 2 is known as b.
[0045] After the measurement pier 2 settles, the length of the measuring rope 3 between the reference pier 1 and the measurement pier 2 is known to be d, where d=b+the distance the weight 6 rises.
[0046] Next, use a protractor to measure the angle f between measuring rope 3 and reference pier 1. Using the law of sines, we can determine the horizontal distance e + h between the measuring point on measuring pier 2 and reference pier 1. Since e = b, the value of h can be determined. Furthermore, since the distance from the measuring point on measuring pier 2 to the bottom of measuring pier 2 is known, the law of sines can again be used to determine the deflection angle i of measuring pier 2.
[0047] Example 2: The present invention provides Figure 9 The highway bridge settlement measuring instrument shown in this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the measuring components include a laser displacement sensor 9 and a microcomputer 10. The laser displacement sensor 9 is fixedly mounted on top of the limit block 7, with the probe of the laser displacement sensor 9 positioned above the weight block 6, and the detection laser pointing vertically downward toward the weight block 6.
[0048] Microcomputer 10 is fixedly mounted on reference pier 1 and electrically connected to laser displacement sensor 9. It processes data and calculates settlement. Microcomputer 10 primarily consists of a 51-series single-chip microcomputer, a power supply, a digital display, and other electrical components. This technology is currently available and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0049] Working principle of embodiment 2: The difference between this working principle and embodiment 1 is that the laser displacement sensor 9 can measure the distance the weight block 6 rises, and the data of the distance is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the microcomputer 10 for data processing.
[0050] When it is necessary to obtain data on the deflection and settlement of the bridge pier 2, the data measured by the protractor can be manually input into the microcomputer 10 for calculation. The calculation principle is the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0051] The rest of the working process of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
