Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bridge inspection equipment technology, and in particular to a bridge inspection equipment based on an underwater robot. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge inspection is a crucial means of ensuring the safe operation of bridges. It involves a comprehensive inspection and assessment of the bridge's structure, performance, and usage condition. During use, bridges are affected by natural environmental factors (such as wind, rain, snow, and earthquakes) and traffic loads (such as vehicles and pedestrians), resulting in damage or deformation. Inspection can promptly identify these problems, preventing them from developing into serious safety hazards. Through inspection, we can understand the current structural condition, material properties, and usage status of the bridge, providing fundamental data for subsequent maintenance, reinforcement, or renovation.

[0003] Existing bridge inspection methods are inconvenient for inspecting underwater pile foundations, often requiring manual inspection by workers, which is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and financially burdensome. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a bridge inspection device based on an underwater robot, which overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies and aims to solve the problem that existing bridge inspection methods are inconvenient for inspecting underwater pile foundations, often requiring manual inspection by workers, which is more time-consuming, material, and financially resource-intensive, making the inspection very inconvenient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a bridge inspection device based on an underwater robot, comprising a robot body, an installation mechanism mounted on the top of the robot body, the installation mechanism comprising two sets of mounting frames, each set of mounting frames having a sliding groove inside, a fixing plate being provided at the bottom of the two sets of mounting frames, the fixing plate having a rotating groove inside, a bidirectional screw being installed inside the rotating groove, two sets of moving blocks being threaded to the outside of the bidirectional screw, a drive motor being installed at the other end of the bidirectional screw, two sets of clamping mechanisms being provided inside the installation mechanism, the bottom of the clamping mechanism being fixedly connected to the moving blocks, the clamping mechanism comprising a connecting plate, a clamping plate being provided on the inner side of the connecting plate, a spring being provided between the connecting plate and the clamping plate, two sets of connecting rods being provided on one side of the clamping plate, the other ends of the two sets of connecting rods passing through the connecting plate and being slidably connected to the connecting plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the robot body, the drive motor inside the upper mounting mechanism can drive the bidirectional screw to rotate inside the rotating slot during use. This allows the two sets of moving blocks to move closer to each other, and then the two sets of clamping mechanisms to move closer to each other, thereby clamping the detection device placed between the two sets of clamping mechanisms. The springs further enhance the clamping effect on the detection device. This setup makes it easier to clamp detection devices of different sizes and can install different detection devices inside the mounting mechanism. After the inspection is completed, they can be quickly replaced, which can greatly improve the efficiency of underwater inspection of the pile foundations of bridges.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a camera is mounted on the front of the robot body, a hinge block is mounted behind the camera, a hinge shaft is provided between the hinge block and the camera, a telescopic rod is hinged to the top of the camera, and the top of the telescopic rod and the top of the hinge block are both fixedly connected to the bottom of the robot body.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a camera, the camera can be extended and retracted using a telescopic rod, allowing for better adjustment of the camera angle. This enables staff to adjust the camera's viewing angle from the outside, improving the detection effect and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the front of the robot body is equipped with two sets of laser calibrators and two sets of lighting lamps.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a laser calibrator and a lighting lamp, the laser calibrator can calibrate the angle of the underwater pile foundation and the angle of the robot body, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection. The lighting lamp can provide effective illumination for the robot body.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, stabilizing blocks are provided on both sides of the connecting plate, and both sets of stabilizing blocks pass through the sliding groove and are slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the stabilizing block, the clamping mechanism can remain more stable during the forward and backward movement, preventing deviation.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom of the robot body is provided with two sets of support frames, and multiple sets of connecting rods are provided between the bottom of the robot body and the support frames.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a support frame, the bottom of the robot body can be supported after it enters the water, reducing the potential damage to the bottom of the robot body.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the robot body is provided with multiple sets of marker lights on its exterior.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and setting out the outline lights, the robot body can be outlined externally during use, enabling the lifting of personnel on shore and preventing it from being damaged by impacts underwater.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a rubber layer is installed on the front side of the clamping plate, and the rubber layer is made of rubber.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and adding a rubber layer, the fixing effect during clamping can be further ensured, and the practicality of the device can be improved.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this application, multiple sets of reinforcing rods are provided between the two sets of support frames.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting reinforcing rods, the structural strength of the support frame can be further improved during use, ensuring the protection of the bottom of the robot body.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0022] 1. By configuring the robot body, during use, the drive motor inside the mounting mechanism on top can drive the bidirectional screw to rotate inside the rotating slot, thereby enabling the two sets of moving blocks to move closer to each other, and then the two sets of clamping mechanisms to move closer to each other, thus clamping the detection device placed between the two sets of clamping mechanisms. The springs installed can further improve the clamping effect on the detection device. This configuration makes it easier to clamp detection devices of different sizes and can install different detection devices inside the mounting mechanism. After the inspection is completed, they can be quickly replaced, which can greatly improve the efficiency of underwater inspection of the pile foundations of bridges.

[0023] 2. By setting up a camera, the telescopic rod can be extended and retracted during use, allowing for better adjustment of the camera angle.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 A bridge inspection device based on an underwater robot includes a robot body 1. A mounting mechanism 2 is mounted on the top of the robot body 1. The mounting mechanism 2 includes two sets of mounting brackets 201. Each set of mounting brackets 201 has a sliding groove 202 inside. A fixing plate 203 is provided at the bottom of the two sets of mounting brackets 201. A rotating groove 204 is provided inside the fixing plate 203. A bidirectional screw 205 is installed inside the rotating groove 204. Two sets of moving blocks 206 are threadedly connected to the outside of the bidirectional screw 205. The other end of 205 is equipped with a drive motor 207. The mounting mechanism 2 has two sets of clamping mechanisms 3 inside. The bottom of the clamping mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the moving block 206. The clamping mechanism 3 includes a connecting plate 301, with a clamping plate 302 on the inner side of the connecting plate 301. A spring 303 is provided between the connecting plate 301 and the clamping plate 302. Two sets of connecting rods 304 are provided on one side of the clamping plate 302. The other ends of the two sets of connecting rods 304 pass through the connecting plate 301 and are slidably connected to it. Two sets of laser calibrators 102 and two sets of lighting lamps 103 are mounted on the front of the robot body 1.

[0031] By configuring the robot body 1, during use, the drive motor 207 inside the mounting mechanism 2 drives the bidirectional screw 205 to rotate inside the rotating groove 204, thereby bringing the two sets of moving blocks 206 closer together, and then bringing the two sets of clamping mechanisms 3 closer together, thus clamping the detection device placed between the two sets of clamping mechanisms 3. The spring 303 further enhances the clamping effect on the detection device. This configuration makes it easier to clamp detection devices of different sizes and can install different detection devices inside the mounting mechanism 2. After the inspection is completed, they can be quickly replaced, which greatly improves the efficiency of underwater inspection of the pile foundations at the bottom of bridges. By configuring the laser calibrator 102 and the lighting lamp 103, the laser calibrator 102 can calibrate the angle of the underwater pile foundation and the angle of the robot body 1, improving the accuracy of the inspection. The lighting lamp 103 provides effective illumination for the robot body 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 A camera 5 is mounted on the front of the robot body 1, and a hinge block 501 is mounted behind the camera 5. A hinge shaft 502 is provided between the hinge block 501 and the camera 5. A telescopic rod 503 is hinged to the top of the camera 5, and the top of the telescopic rod 503 and the top of the hinge block 501 are both fixedly connected to the bottom of the robot body 1. Stabilizing blocks 305 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 301. Both sets of stabilizing blocks 305 pass through the sliding groove 202 and are slidably connected to the sliding groove 202. Multiple sets of marker lights 101 are provided on the exterior of the robot body 1. By setting up the camera 5, when... When in use, the telescopic rod 503 can be extended or retracted, allowing for better adjustment of the camera 5's angle. This enables staff to adjust the camera's angle from the outside, improving the detection effect and enhancing the device's practicality. The stabilizing block 305 ensures the clamping mechanism 3 remains stable during forward and backward movement, preventing deviation. The outboard light 101 provides an external outboard view of the robot body 1, helping staff on shore to avoid damage from impacts underwater.

[0033] Reference Figure 1The robot body 1 has two sets of support frames 4 at its bottom, and multiple sets of connecting rods 401 are provided between the bottom of the robot body 1 and the support frames 4. By setting the support frames 4, the robot body 1 can be supported at its bottom after entering the water, reducing the potential damage to the bottom of the robot body 1. A rubber layer 306 is installed on the front of the clamping plate 302. The rubber layer 306 is made of rubber. By setting the rubber layer 306, the fixing effect during clamping can be further ensured, improving the practicality of the device. Multiple sets of reinforcing rods 402 are provided between the two sets of support frames 4. By setting the reinforcing rods 402, the structural strength of the support frames 4 can be further improved during use, ensuring the protection of the bottom of the robot body 1.

[0034] Working principle: By setting up the robot body 1, during use, the drive motor 207 inside the mounting mechanism 2 can drive the bidirectional screw 205 to rotate inside the rotating groove 204, thereby enabling the two sets of moving blocks 206 to move closer to each other, and then enabling the two sets of clamping mechanisms 3 to move closer to each other, thus clamping the detection device placed between the two sets of clamping mechanisms 3. The spring 303 can further improve the clamping effect of the detection device. This setting can more easily clamp detection devices of different sizes and can install different detection devices inside the mounting mechanism 2. After the detection is completed, they can be quickly replaced, which can greatly improve the efficiency of underwater detection of the bottom pile foundation of bridges. By setting up the camera 5, during use, it can be extended and retracted through the telescopic rod 503, thereby better changing the angle of the camera 5. This allows the staff to adjust the camera angle of the camera 5 from the outside, improving the detection effect and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0035] Among them, by setting up a laser calibrator 102 and a lighting lamp 103, the laser calibrator 102 can calibrate the angle of the underwater pile foundation and the angle of the robot body 1, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection. The lighting lamp 103 can provide effective lighting for the robot body 1. The stabilizing block 305 can make the clamping mechanism 3 more stable during the forward and backward movement, preventing the phenomenon of displacement.

[0036] Meanwhile, by setting up the support frame 4, when in use, it can provide support for the bottom of the robot body 1 after it enters the water, reducing the potential damage to the bottom of the robot body 1.

[0037] In addition, by setting the outline light 101, it can provide an outline effect for the robot body 1 during use, enabling the staff on the shore to be lifted and preventing damage from impacts underwater; by setting the rubber layer 306, the fixing effect during clamping can be further ensured, improving the practicality of the device; by setting the reinforcing rod 402, the structural strength of the support frame 4 can be further improved during use, ensuring the protection of the bottom of the robot body 1.
