Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to technical field, specifically, relate to a monitoring device for concrete crack. BACKGROUND

[0002] Concrete cracking is a common problem in the construction and use of concrete structures. When the crack develops to a certain extent, it will reduce the performance of concrete and damage the integrity and safety of the structure. Therefore, continuous and long-term monitoring of cracks is crucial to ensure structural safety. Currently, there are two methods for crack detection: one is to measure the crack width by selecting the appropriate plug gauge according to the gap size; the other is to place a contrast card with different width markings on the crack surface to determine the specific width of the crack by comparison.

[0003] Different operators may have inconsistent results due to differences in vision, experience level, and understanding of standards. Even the same operator may give different conclusions in different states. When the crack width is close to the markings on the plug gauge, it becomes difficult to determine which one is closer to the actual width, increasing the possibility of error and reducing the consistency and reliability of the measurement results, especially when high-precision measurement is required, which may lead to incorrect evaluation.

[0004] Secondly, the influence of light conditions is also crucial. Good lighting can clearly show the contrast between the crack and the plug gauge, but under poor lighting conditions such as insufficient or excessive natural light, shadows, etc., the color and markings of the plug gauge may be unclear, increasing the difficulty of reading and leading to misjudgment. For example, backlight makes it difficult to identify the edges of the crack, and strong light reflection obscures the details. SUMMARY
