Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of width measuring equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a device for measuring the width of concrete cracks. Background Technology

[0002] Concrete is the most widely used material in modern construction, but it has an inherent flaw—low tensile strength and a tendency to crack. The appearance of cracks is unavoidable, but not all cracks are dangerous. The key is to distinguish between "benign" and "malignant" cracks. Excessively wide cracks, especially transverse cracks in the tension zone, may indicate insufficient structural load-bearing capacity, suggesting that the reinforcing steel may have yielded, posing a safety hazard. The location, direction, and width of the crack can help determine whether it is a structural crack. Width is a crucial criterion. The most common existing device for measuring concrete width is the width measuring instrument. However, current technology has some problems and defects that can affect the measurement of concrete width.

[0003] First, during the measurement process, the width measuring instrument's camera is mostly operated manually by hand. If there is shaking during the detection process, the camera may not be able to keep level with the ground, resulting in low equipment stability and thus low equipment efficiency.

[0004] Secondly, during the measurement process, longer gaps require manual adjustment of the position for detection, resulting in lower adjustment performance and thus poor applicability.

[0005] Furthermore, during the equipment inspection process, the displacement inspection of multiple segments requires manual hand-held operation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making the equipment inspection process cumbersome. As a result, the equipment's displacement performance is low, leading to poor applicability. Utility Model Content
