DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1 The figure shows the overall structure of a modular expansion joint detection device for highway bridges, which includes a device body, a reading mechanism, and a measuring mechanism. The device body includes a top plate, with two side plates symmetrically provided at each end of the top plate. The top plate has a sliding groove along the longitudinal direction, and a scale is provided on the upper side of the top plate in the transverse direction.

[0025] The reading mechanism includes a sliding rod, a scale pointer disk, and a locking assembly. The sliding rod passes through the sliding slot and is slidably connected to the sliding slot. The top end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the scale pointer disk, and the bottom end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the measuring mechanism. When the sliding rod moves to a preset position, the sliding rod is locked and fixed to the bottom end of the top plate by the locking assembly.

[0026] The measuring mechanism includes a movable clamping plate and a fixed clamping plate, wherein the movable clamping plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod, and the fixed clamping plate is fixed to a side plate.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the device body of the utility model is a semi-enclosed structure, and the shape of the device body can be C-shaped. This structure is convenient for one-handed grip of the device, and is convenient for carrying and using the device. The top surface of the top plate is provided with a scale, which is used as a reading observation surface, and the two side plates play a supporting role. Since the movable splint is fixed to the bottom end of the sliding rod, the sliding groove simultaneously guides the movement of the sliding rod and the movable splint, and the locking assembly simultaneously limits and fixes the sliding rod and the movable splint. The scale pointer disk of the reading mechanism matches the scale. During measurement, the movable splint and the fixed splint are respectively pressed against the two ends of the expansion joint to be measured. At this time, the corresponding scale is displayed through the scale pointer disk fixed on the top of the sliding groove, representing the spacing of the expansion joint to be measured.

[0028] The usage process is as follows: Before use, push the sliding rod along the sliding groove to move the movable splint closer to the fixed splint. After the movable splint and the fixed splint reach the appropriate distance, fix the sliding rod to the top plate by locking the clamping assembly. At this time, place the side plate on the top surface of the measurement target, and place the movable splint and the fixed splint in the expansion joint to be measured, with one end of the fixed splint close to one end of the expansion joint. Then release the locking assembly, push the sliding rod along the sliding groove to drive the scale pointer to slide on the top of the top plate and point to the corresponding scale, and drive the movable splint to move away from the fixed splint until the movable splint is close to the other end of the expansion joint to be measured. Then fix the sliding rod to the top plate again by locking the clamping assembly, and the spacing between the movable splint and the fixed splint is fixed. At this time, by observing the correspondence between the scale pointer and the scale, the spacing value of the expansion joint to be measured can be read. This utility model features a modular expansion joint detection device for highway bridges with a simple structure and easy operation. After measuring the spacing, the measurement operator's hands are freed, enabling rapid and accurate measurement of highway or bridge expansion joints, thereby improving testing efficiency. Compared with existing technologies, this device overcomes the problem of the user's hands being occupied, requiring assistance in recording data, which results in lower work efficiency.

[0029] The measuring mechanism also includes a threaded rod, two idling bearing seats and a spring. One end of the threaded rod is connected to the other side plate through the idling bearing seat. The movable splint is provided with a through hole and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the through hole. After the other end of the threaded rod passes through the through hole, it is connected to the fixed splint through the idling bearing seat; the two ends of the spring respectively press against the movable splint and the fixed splint.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the through hole is provided with an internal thread matching the threaded rod, and the threaded rod and the through hole are threadedly connected. The internal thread of the through hole and the external thread of the threaded rod, plus the function of the idle bearing seat, can reduce friction when the movable splint moves along the threaded rod. Figure 3 As shown, during use, when the fixed and movable plates reach the appropriate distance, the spring is compressed to generate elastic force. When the locking assembly is released, the spring loses its resistance, and under the action of the elastic force, the movable plate is pushed along the threaded lines of the threaded rod in a direction away from the fixed plate. The threaded rod rotates in a spiral until the movable plate fits against one end of the expansion joint. At this time, under the action of the elastic force, the movable plate and the expansion joint are in a tight state, and the sliding rod is fixed by the locking assembly. At this time, the top of the movable plate and the movable plate itself are both fixed. This setting can improve the stability of the device and the accuracy of the data. At the same time, the threaded rod and the through hole can further guide the movement of the movable plate, thereby improving the test efficiency.

[0031] The locking assembly includes a nut, and the lower end of the sliding rod is provided with a thread matching the nut.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the sliding rod, the portion extending downward from the sliding slot, is a threaded rod structure. A nut is threadedly connected to the threaded rod structure to achieve a loosened or locked connection between the sliding rod and the bottom end of the top plate, thereby achieving the movement or fixation of the sliding rod and the movable clamping plate. This simple and quick setup frees the measurement operator's hands and improves testing efficiency.

[0033] The sliding rod also includes a rotating wheel, a circular groove is provided at the middle end of the sliding rod, the rotating wheel is sleeved on the circular groove of the sliding rod, and a rotating ball is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the rotating wheel; the surrounding surfaces of the sliding groove have recesses, and the recesses match the rotating wheel.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper end of the sliding rod is arranged in the sliding groove and can move left and right along the sliding groove. Figure 2-4 As shown, the utility model is provided with a recessed portion of the sliding groove, and the sliding rod is provided with an annular groove, and the rotating wheel is sleeved on the annular groove, the outer side of the rotating wheel matches the recessed portion, and the inner side of the rotating wheel matches the annular groove, thereby limiting the sliding rod in the sliding groove without upward and downward deviation. When in use, the sliding rod cooperates with the rotating wheel and the rotating ball to move inside the sliding groove, and the sliding rod is moved in the sliding groove through the rotating wheel, thereby reducing the friction with the sliding groove, and reducing the friction and wear between the rotating wheel and the rotating ball.

[0035] The lower ends of the two side panels are connected to positioning plates, forming an L-shape with the corresponding positioning plates. Anti-slip pads are provided at the bottom ends of the positioning plates. Specifically, the positioning plates increase the contact surface between the ground of the side panels and the surface of the target to be measured, and the anti-slip pads increase friction, preventing positional deviation during testing.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the structure of the measuring mechanism is different. In this embodiment, the measuring mechanism also includes a guide slide and a spring. One end of the guide slide is fixedly connected to the other side plate. The movable splint is provided with a through hole that matches the guide slide. The other end of the guide slide passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the fixed splint. Specifically, during use, when the fixed splint and the movable splint reach a suitable distance, the spring is compressed to generate elastic force. When the locking assembly is released, the spring loses resistance and, under the action of the elastic force, pushes the movable splint to move in a direction away from the fixed splint until the movable splint fits with one end of the expansion joint. At this time, under the action of the elastic force, the movable splint and the expansion joint are in a tight state. At the same time, the sliding rod is fixed by the locking assembly. At this time, the top of the movable splint and the movable splint itself are both fixed. This setting further guides the movement of the movable splint through the guide slide and the through hole, thereby improving the test efficiency.

[0038] The above specific implementation methods are preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot limit the present invention. Any other changes or other equivalent replacement methods that do not deviate from the technical solution of the present invention are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
