Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foundation monitoring devices, and in particular to a concealed foundation settlement monitoring marker. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of engineering construction, settlement monitoring is a very important task, as it relates to the safety of engineering construction and operation. In the construction of subways, dams, high-rise buildings, and other fields, monitoring the safe operation of buildings by setting up settlement monitoring points remains an important technical means.

[0003] The existing monitoring point equipment is basically an exposed L-shaped monitoring marker, which is easy to damage. In long-term monitoring projects, the data is prone to discontinuity. In addition, some hidden monitoring points have inaccurate data in high-precision monitoring projects due to gaps and looseness caused by the connection method.

[0004] Therefore, given that the existing monitoring point equipment is an exposed L-shaped monitoring marker, which is easily damaged and makes the data inaccurate in long-term monitoring projects, a concealed foundation settlement monitoring marker can be designed. By connecting it with a leveling rod through a threaded connection, the monitoring connection point can be protected while the leveling rod can be quickly installed or removed, thus simplifying the installation process. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem that existing monitoring point equipment consists of exposed L-shaped monitoring markers, which are easily damaged and cause inaccurate data in long-term monitoring projects.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a concealed foundation settlement monitoring mark, comprising an embedded steel body, a fixing groove, a connecting groove, a protective component, and a monitoring component; the embedded steel body is integrally fixedly connected to the building wall, the upper and lower ends of the embedded steel body are provided with fixing grooves, the front end of the embedded steel body is provided with a cylindrical connecting groove, the connecting groove is provided with internal threads, the protective component is threadedly connected to the connecting groove, and the monitoring component is provided with a threaded structure and is connected to the connecting groove through the threaded structure.

[0007] Preferably, the building wall serves as the supporting structure for the embedded steel body, providing a stable installation position for the monitoring marker. The embedded steel body is made of high-quality steel, featuring high strength and corrosion resistance. The fixing grooves at the upper and lower ends of the embedded steel body are used for a firm connection with the building wall, while the connecting groove at the front end is used to install the protective component and the monitoring component. The protective component protects the monitoring point from external environmental influences such as rainwater, dust, and corrosion. The monitoring component monitors the settlement of the foundation, and by observing the position of the bubble on the leveling gauge, it can be determined whether the building wall has settled.

[0008] Preferably, the protective assembly includes a protective bolt, an internal hexagonal switch, a rubber sealing ring, and a hexagonal wrench. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the rear end of the protective bolt, and an internal hexagonal switch is located at the front end of the connecting block. The rubber sealing ring passes through the protective bolt and is installed at the rear end of the connecting block. The external thread of the protective bolt is compatible with the internal thread in the connecting groove. The protective bolt is rotated using the hexagonal wrench, and its threads are connected to the connecting groove. The protective bolt is made of a high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal material, such as stainless steel. The hexagonal switch refers to the hexagonal hole at the front end of the connecting block, used to engage with the hexagonal wrench for easy rotation of the protective bolt when needed. The rubber sealing ring provides a seal, preventing external moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the connecting groove.

[0009] Preferably, the monitoring components include a connecting screw and a leveling rod placement rod. A cylindrical leveling rod placement rod is fixedly connected to the rear end of the connecting screw. The external thread of the connecting screw is adapted to the internal thread in the connecting groove. The leveling rod placement rod is threadedly connected to the connecting groove via the connecting screw. The connecting screw is responsible for connecting the leveling rod placement rod to the connecting groove. A stable threaded connection is achieved through the adaptation of its external thread to the internal thread in the connecting groove. The connecting screw is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal materials, such as stainless steel, to ensure it is not easily damaged during long-term use. The leveling rod placement rod provides an installation platform for the leveling rod and ensures that it is protected from interference from external factors. During measurement, the leveling rod is placed on the leveling rod placement rod and kept horizontal. By observing the position of the bubble on the leveling rod, it is determined whether the building has subsided.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the leveling rod has a placement groove, and a limiting frame is fixedly connected in the placement groove. The leveling rod for monitoring settlement is installed in the limiting frame. The placement groove is a groove on the outer wall of the leveling rod, used to accommodate and fix the limiting frame. The limiting frame is a frame structure installed in the placement groove, used to fix and support the leveling rod.

The spring pins are adapted to the pin holes, and the spring elastically pushes the pins into the corresponding pin holes. The pin holes are holes opened on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the limiting frame to cooperate with the spring pins on the leveling rod. When the leveling rod is placed in the limiting frame, the pin of the spring pin will be inserted into the corresponding pin hole under the elastic action of the spring, thereby realizing a stable connection between the leveling rod and the limiting frame.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the leveling rod is provided with a top plate, and four hinge seats are installed at the lower end of the top plate. Iron triangular blocks are fixedly connected to the upper end of the top plate. The top plate is made of a sturdy and durable material, such as aluminum alloy, thus providing a mounting base for the triangular blocks. The hinge seats are components installed at the lower end of the top plate to connect the support rod. They allow the support rod to rotate freely within a certain range.
