Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crack monitoring equipment, in particular to a concrete dam crack evolution monitoring device. Background Art
[0002] Cracks in concrete dams are primarily caused by a combination of factors, including temperature fluctuations, shrinkage, construction defects, material degradation, and external loads. When concrete cools after heating during the hardening process, or when it undergoes prolonged wet-dry cycles, the volume of the concrete changes. If this deformation exceeds its tensile strength, cracks will form. Additionally, poor design or construction errors can cause cracks. Over time, aging and corrosion can exacerbate the formation of cracks.
[0003] The specification of Chinese utility model patent 202320514856.5 discloses a concrete dam crack evolution monitoring device, including a surface wave signal generating system and a crack monitoring system. The surface wave signal generating system includes a surface wave exciter and a surface wave signal generator. The surface wave exciter is electrically connected to the surface wave signal generator. The surface wave exciter is used to be installed on the concrete dam to transmit surface waves to the concrete dam. The crack monitoring system includes a surface wave receiver and a digital oscilloscope. There are at least two surface wave receivers, each of which is electrically connected to the digital oscilloscope. The surface wave receiver is used to be installed on both sides of the crack in the concrete dam. By combining the surface wave signal generating system and the crack monitoring system, the length of the concrete crack is calculated, and the evolution process of the concrete dam crack can be monitored in real time to prevent the crack from further developing and ensure the safe operation of the dam.

[0027] Among them, the surface wave exciter 108 and the surface wave receiver 109 are both existing technologies, and their structural principles will not be described in detail. At the same time, the device also includes a power supply, a switch, a controller, a power supply cable and other devices, which are not the main technologies and will not be described in detail.
[0028] In this embodiment: when in use, first apply coupling agent to the probes of the surface wave exciter 108 and the surface wave receiver 109, and then by rotating the rod 103 to the position of the crack in the dam body, the mounting shell 101 is attached to the dam body, so that the surface wave exciter 108 is in contact with the dam body. At this time, the two groups of surface wave receivers 109 are also located on both sides of the crack and in contact with the dam body. Then the staff starts the surface wave exciter 108 to generate surface waves for the dam body, and cooperates with the surface wave receiver 109 to receive the surface waves, and cooperates with the oscilloscope and calculator to calculate the length of the crack. The oscilloscope and calculator are not shown in the figure. Their structure and principles are all existing technologies. During monitoring, the staff also needs to adjust the spacing between the two groups of surface wave receivers 109 and perform secondary calculations to improve the monitoring results.
[0029] In the above embodiment, in order to adjust the distance between the two groups of surface wave receivers 109 and perform secondary calculation to improve the monitoring results, the following methods can be used:
[0030] The supporting operation component 2 includes a rotating sleeve 201 rotatably connected to the rotating rod 103, a lever 202 is rotatably connected to the rotating sleeve 201, a connecting rod 203 is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the mounting shell 101, two frames 204 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 203, one of the frames 204 is rotatably connected to the lever 202, and a rotating rod 205 is rotatably connected to the two frames 204, a square rod 206 is inserted into the end of the rotating rod 103 away from the mounting shell 101, a universal joint 207 is fixedly connected between the square rod 206 and the rotating rod 205, and a disc 208 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 205 away from the mounting shell 101.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, when the positions of the two sets of surface wave receivers 109 need to be adjusted, the staff first presses the lever 202. The end of the lever 202 close to the monitoring component 1 passes through the fulcrum of the frame 204, and the rotating sleeve 201 pulls the rotating rod 103, so that the rotating rod 103 pulls the movable plate 102 to move inside the mounting shell 101. At this time, the two surface wave receivers 109 are no longer in contact with the dam body. At the same time, the staff rotates the disc 208, and the disc 208 drives the square rod through the rotating rod 205 and the universal joint 207. 206 rotates, the square rod 206 drives the rotating rod 103 to rotate, and the rotating rod 103 drives the gear 104 to rotate, so that when the gear 104 rotates, it drives the two moving blocks 105 to move, and finally realizes the movement of the distance between the two groups of surface wave receivers 109. At the same time, it can also ensure that the crack is between the two surface wave receivers 109. After determining the distance between the surface wave receivers 109, the staff releases the lever 202. At this time, the moving plate 102, under the thrust of the reset spring 107, makes the surface wave receiver 109 contact with the dam body again.
[0032] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the spacing indicating assembly 3 includes a scale bar 301 fixedly connected to the two moving blocks 105, the scale bar 301 is set through the side wall of the mounting shell 101, and the rear side wall of the mounting shell 101 is engraved with an arrow plate 302.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the moving block 105 moves, the moving block 105 can drive the arrow plate 302 to move, and the pointer of the arrow plate 302 points to the scale bar 301, so that the staff can quickly know the distance between the two groups of surface wave receivers 109.
[0034] Working Principle: During use, the operator places the mounting shell 101 against the dam body, bringing the surface wave exciter 108 into contact with the dam body. At this point, the two sets of surface wave receivers 109 are also located on either side of the crack and in contact with the dam body. The operator then activates the surface wave exciter 108 to generate surface waves on the dam body, and uses the surface wave receivers 109 to receive the surface waves. Using an oscilloscope and a calculator, the operator calculates the length of the crack.
[0035] When the positions of the two sets of surface wave receivers 109 need to be adjusted, the staff first presses the lever 202. The end of the lever 202 close to the monitoring component 1 passes through the fulcrum of the frame 204, and pulls the rotating rod 103 through the rotating sleeve 201, so that the rotating rod 103 pulls the movable plate 102 to move inside the installation shell 101. At this time, the two surface wave receivers 109 are no longer in contact with the dam body. At the same time, the staff rotates the disc 208. The disc 208 drives the square rod 206 to rotate through the rotating rod 205 and the universal joint 207. The square rod 206 drives the rotating rod 103 to rotate, and the rotating rod 103 drives the gear 104 to rotate. When the gear 104 rotates, The two moving blocks 105 are driven to move. When the moving block 105 moves, the moving block 105 can drive the arrow plate 302 to move, and finally realize the movement of the distance between the two groups of surface wave receivers 109. At the same time, it can also ensure that the crack is between the two surface wave receivers 109. When the moving block 105 moves, the pointer of the arrow plate 302 points to the scale bar 301, which makes it easy for the staff to quickly know the distance between the two groups of surface wave receivers 109. After determining the distance between the surface wave receivers 109, the staff releases the lever 202. At this time, the moving plate 102, under the thrust of the reset spring 107, makes the surface wave receiver 109 contact with the dam body again.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
