Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge deck detection, in particular to a UHPC bridge deck crack width detection structure. Background Art

[0002] UHPC bridges are bridges built with ultra-high performance concrete. Although UHPC has high strength and toughness, it can still produce cracks. When subjected to factors such as vehicle loads, temperature changes, shrinkage and creep, the cracks may gradually expand. If the crack width exceeds a certain limit, the effective bearing area of ​​the structure will be reduced, causing the stress distribution inside the bridge to change. By detecting the crack width, cracks that are close to or may lead to through-holes can be discovered in a timely manner, and appropriate measures can be taken to repair or reinforce them.

[0003] Existing crack detection methods typically use specialized optical detection instruments. However, when inspecting cracks in UHPC bridge decks, dust and impurities on the crack surface interfere with the reflection and refraction of light. Dust and impurities may be mistaken for part of the crack, causing the measured crack width to be larger than the actual value. Dust and impurities also change the propagation path of light, blurring the captured crack image and affecting the image analysis software's ability to accurately identify the crack edge, thereby reducing the accuracy of crack width measurement.

[0004] Therefore, a crack width detection structure for UHPC bridge deck is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a UHPC bridge deck crack width detection structure, which can solve the problem that when detecting cracks in UHPC bridge decks, dust and impurities on the crack surface will interfere with the reflection and refraction of light.

At the same time, the dust and impurities will also change the propagation path of light, making the captured crack image blurred, affecting the image analysis software's accurate identification of the crack edge, thereby reducing the accuracy of crack width measurement.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-6 , this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A UHPC bridge deck crack width detection structure includes a mobile body 1, a handrail 2 fixedly connected to the rear side of the mobile body 1, an optical non-contact crack detector 3 disposed inside the mobile body 1, a mounting frame 4 fixedly connected to the front side of the mobile body 1, an adjustment component 5 disposed inside the mounting frame 4, the adjustment component 5 including a support plate 501, and a cleaning component 6 disposed below the support plate 501;

[0028] The cleaning component 6 includes an annular channel 601, a connecting rod 602, a dust collector head 603, a brush plate 604, a drive motor 605 and a transmission rod 606. The annular channel 601 is located below the support plate 501. The connecting rod 602 is fixedly connected between the annular channel 601 and the opposite side of the support plate 501. The dust collector head 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular channel 601 and multiple dust collector heads 603 are evenly distributed. The brush plate 604 is movably connected to the inside of the annular channel 601. The drive motor 605 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 501. The output end of the drive motor 605 passes through the support plate 501 and is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 606. The bottom end of the transmission rod 606 is fixedly connected to the top of the brush plate.

[0029] In this embodiment: by setting up a cleaning component 6, the brush disc 604 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 605. This rotary cleaning method can effectively remove dust and impurities inside and on the surface of the crack. When the brush disc 604 brushes off the dust and impurities inside and on the surface of the crack, the dust collector head 603 can absorb these dust and impurities into the interior of the dust collector head 603. Its evenly distributed design ensures that a certain area can be covered. No matter how the dust and impurities are distributed around the crack, they can be effectively collected, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the dust and impurities.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, mounting grooves 7 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the support plate 501 , a guide rod 502 is fixedly connected to the interior of the left mounting groove 7 , and a screw rod 503 is rotatably connected to the interior of the right mounting groove 7 .

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the surface of the guide rod 502 is slidably connected to a guide block 504 , and the surface of the screw rod 503 is threadedly connected to a screw block 505 . The guide block 504 and the screw block 505 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 501 respectively.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the right side of the top of the mounting bracket 4 is rotatably connected to a handle 8 , and the bottom of the handle 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw rod 503 .

[0033] In this embodiment: through the above settings, the handle 8 can drive the screw rod 503 to rotate, and when the screw rod 503 rotates, it will drive the screw block 505 to move along the axial direction of the screw rod 503. When the screw block 505 moves, it will drive the guide block 504 and the support plate 501 to move together, so that the height of the cleaning component 6 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving the flexibility of use, and the sliding connection between the guide block 504 and the mounting groove 7 can limit the moving trajectory of the support plate 501, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of offset when the support plate 501 moves.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, a collecting box 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the mobile body 1, a vacuum cleaner 10 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the collecting box 9, a hose 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the collecting box 9, and the other end of the hose 11 passes through the mounting frame 4 and the support plate 501 and is fixedly connected to the annular channel 601.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the interior of the collection box 9 is slidably connected to a pull-out box 12 , and the surface of the pull-out box 12 is arranged in a mesh shape. The outside of the pull-out box 12 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 13 , which is bolted to the collection box 9 .

[0036] In this embodiment: through the above settings, the strong suction force generated by the vacuum cleaner 10 can suck the dust from the cracks through the vacuum head 603, and then transmit it to the collection box 9 through the hose 11, and the pull-out box 12 can filter the dust and impurities sucked into the collection box 9, preventing them from entering the vacuum cleaner 10 and other subsequent components, avoiding damage or blockage to these components. On the other hand, the pull-out box 12 serves as a temporary storage space for dust and debris. During the vacuuming process, it can continuously collect dust and impurities transported from the hose 11, which is convenient for subsequent centralized cleaning. The mounting plate 13 facilitates the subsequent installation and disassembly of the pull-out box 12, and facilitates the maintenance of the pull-out box 12.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a circular hole 14 is opened inside the mobile body 1, and the optical non-contact crack detector 3 is used in conjunction with the circular hole 14. An electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the mobile body 1, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the optical non-contact crack detector 3.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a limiting groove 16 is provided on the inner wall of the annular channel 601 , and a limiting ring 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the brush plate 604 , and the limiting ring 17 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 16 .

[0039] In this embodiment: through the above settings, the circular hole 14 provides a specific installation position for the optical non-contact crack detector 3, so that the detector can be accurately and firmly placed inside the mobile body 1, and the electric push rod 15 can flexibly adjust the height of the detector relative to the UHPC bridge deck. When facing different detection requirements, the detector can be adjusted to the optimal detection height position, thereby improving the flexibility of use. The limit groove 16 can limit the limit ring 17, limiting the brush plate 604 to rotate only according to a specific circular trajectory in the annular channel 601, avoiding the brush plate 604 from offsetting and shaking during operation. Instability ensures that the brush plate 604 can always maintain the correct position and posture when rotating to clean cracks, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] Working principle: When detecting the width of the crack, first start the drive motor 605 and the vacuum cleaner 10, then move the mobile body 1 to the crack area through the handrail 2, and then rotate the screw 503 through the handle 8. After the screw 503 rotates, it will drive the screw block 505 and the support plate 501 to move downward until the brush plate 604 contacts the crack. The drive motor 605 will drive the brush plate 604 to rotate at a high speed, which can brush away the dust and impurities inside and on the surface of the crack, and the strong suction generated by the vacuum cleaner 10 will remove the dust through the vacuum cleaner. The head 603 will promptly absorb the dust and impurities brushed off by the brush plate 604. The dust and impurities will be transported to the pull-out box 12 inside the collection box 9 through the annular channel 601 and the hose 11. After cleaning is completed, the electric push rod 15 drives the optical non-contact crack detector 3 to move to the optimal detection position to ensure that the optical image and other data of the crack can be clearly obtained. The optical non-contact crack detector 3 collects the optical information of the crack, analyzes and calculates the width data of the crack through the internal processing system, and can complete the detection of the crack width.

[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
