[0030] The front end of the handheld rod 10 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the mounting frame 3, and a locking bolt 8 is arranged at the connection position, so that the angle between the handheld rod 10 and the mounting frame 3 can be adjusted and fixed; a fixed seat 14 is arranged on the handheld rod 10, the detector host 11 can be clamped in the fixed seat 14, and then is arranged on one side of the handheld rod 10; the detector host 11 is connected to the two transducer probes 15 through a signal line 19, so as to obtain the feedback signals of the two transducer probes 15; a control line 20 is connected between the distance adjusting motor 4 and the detector host 11, a control module is arranged in the detector host 11, so as to control and regulate the working state of the distance adjusting motor 4; the distance adjusting motor 4 is connected with a power supply module, which can be integrated in the detector host 11, or can be designed as a separate component and arranged on the handheld rod 10 or the mounting frame 3.

[0032] The technical advantages of the handheld bridge detector in application are as follows:

[0033] In the structure adopted by this handheld bridge detector, by setting up a handheld stick 10 and a mounting frame 3, the main unit of the detector 11 and the two transducer probes 15 and other dispersed components are reasonably arranged to form an integrated structure that is easy to operate by hand. A single person can complete the detection operation, saving manpower. Due to the setting of the handheld stick 10 and the mounting frame 3, the position adjustment range of the two transducer probes 15 is expanded, which can reduce the personnel's position adjustment and improve the detection efficiency. It is especially suitable for continuous detection of long cracks at high positions.

[0034] This handheld bridge detector uses an adjustable-pitch motor 4 to adjust the distance between two transducer probes 15, and utilizes the self-locking feature of the lead screw mechanism to lock the position of the two transducer probes 15.

After the distance between the two transducer probes 15 is pre-adjusted, there is no need to mark the wall surface where the crack is located during detection. As a result, this handheld bridge detector is very convenient and can significantly improve detection efficiency.

[0035] The handheld lever 10 and mounting frame 3 of this handheld bridge detector feature an adjustable design, allowing the angle to be adjusted according to the location of the crack. It is suitable for detecting cracks on the facade, slope, and top surface of bridge structures, making it highly versatile. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, when not in use, the handheld bridge detector can be folded up with the handle 10 and the mounting frame 3 for easy storage and carrying.

[0036] The main unit 11 and the handheld stick 10 of this handheld bridge detector adopt a combined design. After the main unit is separated, two people can work together to carry out the detection operation, avoiding the excessive burden of single-person operation. Therefore, this handheld bridge detector has strong applicability and flexible use.

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, each transducer probe 15 has a sliding part 18 at its upper end, and the transverse slide rail 1 has a transversely extending groove 17. The sliding part 18 is slidably installed in the groove 17, and the upper end of the sliding part 18 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting rod. The signal line 19 and the control line 20 can adopt a spring design, which can adapt to the change of the relative position of the components by stretching and deforming to avoid messy wiring. The pitch adjustment motor 4 adopts a micro stepper motor or a servo motor to facilitate precise adjustment of the distance between the two transducer probes 15.

[0038] In the preferred embodiment, a shoulder strap (not shown) is mounted on the handheld rod 10, and the operator can wear the shoulder strap on the shoulder during use to reduce the burden of holding, making the detection operation more flexible and labor-saving.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , in the preferred embodiment, the handheld rod 10 adopts a plug-in telescopic structure, and the overall length of the handheld rod 10 can be adjusted according to the needs of use to ensure the flexibility of use and the efficiency of detection; when not in use, the handheld rod 10 can be adjusted to the shortest state to facilitate carrying and storage.

[0040] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , in the preferred embodiment, the handheld rod 10 is fixedly connected to a hand-held part 13 at the rear end, and a holding part 12 is provided on the handheld rod 10, which is located on the front side of the hand-held part 13. This design conforms to ergonomics, and is convenient for accurately controlling the position and direction of the two transducer probes 15 during handheld operation.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1-3 , in the preferred embodiment, a U-shaped part 9 extending forward is provided at the front end of the handheld rod 10, and the front end of the U-shaped part 9 is rotationally connected to the rear end of the mounting seat. In this way, the stress state of the connection can be optimized, aiming to improve the connection stability of the handheld rod 10 and the mounting seat.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , in the preferred embodiment, a clamping sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 14, the clamping sleeve 16 is sleeved on the handheld rod 10 and can adjust the position and direction, and the fixing seat 14 is installed on the handheld rod 10 through the clamping sleeve 16. In this way, the position and direction of the detector host 11 on the handheld rod 10 can be easily adjusted to facilitate real-time observation of the screen during detection and reduce the obstruction caused by the detector host 11 to the operation.

[0043] In the preferred embodiment, a displacement sensor 21 for feeding back the position information of the transducer probe 15 to the detector host 11 is mounted on the mounting bracket 3; in this way, the detector host 11 can determine the positions of the two transducer probes 15, and then can more accurately adjust the distance. In the specific implementation process, because the positions of the two transducer probes 15 are in a symmetrical relationship, one displacement sensor 21 can be installed on the mounting bracket 3 to detect the position of one transducer probe 15, and the actual distance between the two transducer probes 15 can be calculated based on the position information fed back by the displacement sensor 21. In addition, because the hinged seat 2 and the screw sleeve 7 have a position corresponding relationship with the two transducer probes 15, based on this, Figure 7As shown, a displacement sensor 21 can be installed on the mounting frame 3 to detect the position of the hinged seat 2 or the threaded sleeve 7, and the detector host 11 can also indirectly obtain the position information of the two transducer probes 15, and further obtain the actual distance between the two transducer probes 15.
