Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous increase in transportation volume and the continuous extension of operating hours, my country's transportation infrastructure has been subjected to long-term external loads, and the continuous accumulation of damage has seriously affected its safety and load-bearing capacity. This is especially true for high-pier infrastructure structures that are inaccessible to humans. If defects are not discovered in time, severe structural collapse may occur. Therefore, most of my country's pier infrastructure has gradually entered a regular maintenance period. Current detection methods cannot meet the needs of high-efficiency, full-area, and automated inspection of rectangular pier structures. With the continuous advancement of technology, the development of high-efficiency, full-area, and automated inspection equipment for high-pier structures is in line with my country's transportation infrastructure informatization strategy.
[0003] At the same time, with the development of artificial intelligence, big data analysis, and digital twin technology, digital archiving, management, maintenance, and twin modeling of inspection results are being developed, providing a scientific basis for the safety assessment and lifecycle maintenance of high pier structures. The complex structure of high piers requires precise inspection methods to identify potential safety hazards. The rectangular pier inspection robot system can achieve high-precision measurement and positioning, allowing for detailed inspection of all parts of the high pier structure. This helps to identify minor damage and potential hazards in the rectangular pier structure, providing strong support for safety assessment and digital maintenance throughout the lifecycle of the structure.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all components in the present invention are components known in the art.
[0028] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments, and all equivalent modifications made on the basis of the technical solution of this application fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] The utility model provides a climbing device for detecting defects in rectangular high pier column structures, comprising a pair of symmetrically arranged reconstruction bodies, each of which comprises a guide rail frame 1, with a reconstruction body structure 2 connected to each end of the guide rail frame 1. The two reconstruction bodies 2 are symmetrically arranged, and the four reconstruction bodies 2 are sequentially connected by steel wires 3.
[0030] The reconfigurable structure 2 includes a crossbar 201 movably mounted at one end of the guide rail frame 1. A servo motor 206 is mounted on one side of the crossbar 201. A worm gear reducer 202 is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 206. Drive wheels 203 are mounted on both ends of the output shaft of the worm gear reducer 202. A first bracket 204 is mounted at the bottom of the crossbar 201. A battery pack is mounted on the first bracket 204 and is electrically connected to the servo motor 206.
[0031] A support plate 4 is provided on each crossbar 201 , and a slidable mounting frame 5 is commonly provided on the two support plates 4 in one reconstructed structure 2 , and a plurality of cameras 6 are evenly arranged on the mounting frame 5 .
[0032] In the above technical solution, the position of the reconstruction structure 2 is adjusted by using the servo motor 206, which ensures that the four reconstruction structures are stable and steady during the crawling process, avoids the jamming and instability during the crawling process, and also ensures that the camera can collect images in a stable state, ensuring the accuracy of the collection, and solving the technical problem that the existing technology of high pier column structure disease monitoring cannot accurately collect images of high-risk positions.
[0033] By setting the steel wire 3 and the spring self-locking ratchet 7 to adjust the pressure between the driving wheel and the surface of the rectangular high pier column structure to be measured, the driving force of the driving wheel is changed, and the friction between the driving wheel and the surface of the rectangular high pier column structure to be measured is ensured, so that it can adapt to the different load requirements of the climbing device used for rectangular high pier column structure disease detection.
[0034] By adopting a power transmission system consisting of a servo motor 206, a worm gear reducer 202 and a drive wheel 203, the large reduction ratio of the power transmission system can not only ensure the climbing driving force of the climbing device used for rectangular high pier column structure defect detection, but also ensure the self-locking of the bearing capacity of the climbing device used for rectangular high pier column structure defect detection during climbing intervals, so that the climbing device will not immediately decelerate to zero when the servo motor stops working, thereby ensuring the safety of the climbing device on the surface of the rectangular high pier column structure.

[0038] In the above technical solution, four posture sensors monitor the inclination angles of the corresponding reconstructed structures 2 in real time and feed back the information to the main control box. The main control box controls the servo motor 206 to adjust the driving wheel 203 forward or backward in real time, thereby making the positions of the four reconstructed structures 2 basically consistent on the measured rectangular high pier column structure, ensuring that the positions of the four reconstructed structures are stable and steady during the crawling process.
[0039] The first bracket 204 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 8 , and the mainframe box is mounted on the mounting holes 8 .
[0040] In the above technical solution, in order to avoid the host size making the installation inappropriate, the hole can be moved to install it so that the size is more appropriate.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the main box is suspended between the wall for supporting purpose to prevent the main box from rubbing against the wall.

[0044] A Lora wireless module is connected to one of the FPGA boards; wireless communication is established between the Lora wireless module and the host computer.
[0045] In the above technical solution, a multi-point distributed collaborative control system is adopted, and each FPGA board is connected to the corresponding posture sensor. The current angle data is obtained through regular inquiries. If it is in the proposed angle range, the posture adjustment system is turned on. The posture adjustment system can calculate the acquired angle and the distance between each device, thereby changing the pulse and direction signals output to the servo motor, thereby adjusting the posture of the reconstructed structure 2 in real time, ensuring the stability of the climbing device during the crawling process.
