When the driven rod 303 rotates, the stabilizing seat 403 will rotate, and the stabilizing seat 403 will drive the laser distance measuring sensor 401 to rotate.

The receiver 402 is fixed at the tunnel vault, and when the tunnel vault settles, it can displace the receiver 402 downward. The receiver 402 and the laser distance measuring sensor 401 are in a signal connection relationship, and the laser distance measuring sensor 401 and the processor 5 are in an electrical connection relationship. When the receiver 402 moves downward, the signal emitted by the laser distance measuring sensor 401 cannot be received by the receiver 402. At this time, the laser distance measuring sensor 401 cannot measure the distance, and transmits the electrical signal to the processor 5. The processor 5 can control the driving motor to rotate, and further promote the laser distance measuring sensor 401 to adjust the angle.

[0030] In this embodiment, the driving motor drives the driving rod 302 to rotate, which drives the rack 306 to move and the driven rod 303 to rotate through the driving gear 304.

In this way, by recording the distance change monitored by the distance measuring assembly 4, the settlement distance of the tunnel vault can be analyzed.

[0031] In the embodiment, the distance change data between the laser ranging sensor 401 and the receiver 402 after the receiver 402 is lowered is detected first, and then the monitored distance data (distance change data) is transmitted to the data acquisition and transmission module, the data acquisition and transmission module comprising a processor 5 and a signal transmitter 6, and the processor 5 records the driving motor operation angle at the same time. After centralized analysis by the processor 5, the monitored distance data (i.e. settlement distance) is sent to the monitoring terminal through the signal transmitter 6. When the monitored settlement distance exceeds the threshold value, an alarm sound is emitted through the alarm module to realize the alarm, and the alarm module is a buzzer.

[0032] It can be understood that the data (i.e. settlement distance data) can be centrally analyzed through the data acquisition and transmission module, and the signal is successfully transmitted through the signal transmitter 6, thereby ensuring real-time performance and achieving a good warning effect. The power supply is arranged in the connecting block 1, and the back of the connecting block 1 is fixed with a receiving port electrically connected with the power supply.

[0033] The electrical components appearing in the text are electrically connected with the processor 5 and the power supply. The control mode of the utility model is controlled by the controller. The control circuit of the controller can be realized by simple programming of the person skilled in the art. The power supply also belongs to the common knowledge in the art. And the utility model is mainly used for protecting mechanical devices, so the control mode and circuit connection of the utility model will not be explained in detail.

[0034] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0035] First, rotate the rotating cylinder 203 to rotate the threaded rod 202. After adjusting the device to the appropriate length, place the device vertically on the ground, fix the fixed plate 205 to the ground, then fix the receiver 402 at the top of the shield tunnel, and then turn on the laser ranging sensor 401 and start the driving motor. Adjust the angle of the laser ranging sensor 401 to complete the installation.

[0036] When the tunnel vault subsides, the receiver 402 will follow the subsidence, at this time the receiver 402 cannot receive the light of the laser ranging sensor 401, at this time the processor 5 will control the driving motor to rotate, when the driving motor rotates, the driving motor will further drive the driving gear 304 to rotate through the driving rod 302, when the driving gear 304 rotates, power will be transmitted to the rack 306 and the driven gear 305 at the same time, the driven gear 305 will promote the driven rod 303 to rotate, when the driven rod 303 rotates, the laser ranging sensor 401 will be further promoted to rotate through the stable seat 403, until the light on the laser ranging sensor 401 shines on the receiver 402 again, so as to ensure the real-time of the tunnel vault subsidence monitoring, at the same time, the processor 5 will analyze the change of the distance detected by the laser ranging sensor 401 at this time and the angle of the driving motor rotation, so as to obtain the subsidence distance at this time, and also can roughly estimate the subsidence distance through the scale on the rack 306, when the subsidence distance exceeds the threshold value, the signal transmitter 6 will transmit the signal to the monitoring terminal, finally the monitoring terminal will transmit the data to the buzzer through the wireless network, so as to realize the alarm.
