TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a recoverable strain gauge with a protective structure installed on a steel bridge and belongs to a strain gauge and a protective structure integrated equipment used on a steel bridge. BACKGROUND
[0002] The strain gauge is used for measuring the strain and stress of a steel structure to ensure the safety and controllability of the structure. The traditional strain gauge is directly welded. If the strain gauge is installed when the steel bridge prefabricated component is installed, the strain gauge can be damaged due to transportation and hoisting. In addition, the strain gauge is difficult to weld due to the influence of the anticorrosive paint on the steel structure at the construction site. After the construction is completed, the strain gauge is difficult to recover. Furthermore, the protective structure of the traditional strain gauge is a protective cover which is directly welded on the steel bridge to change the cross-section characteristics and affect the measurement results. Therefore, the recoverable strain gauge with a protective structure is needed. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to solve the problems of the traditional strain gauge and its protective cover, such as difficult welding, difficult installation and difficult recovery, the utility model discloses a recoverable strain gauge with a protective structure installed on a steel bridge. The utility model has the following beneficial effects: ①The steel backing plate can be welded with the steel bridge component when the prefabricated component is installed. Because the component is not painted with anticorrosive paint during the process, the welding is more convenient. In addition, the steel backing plate will not be damaged due to hoisting and transportation. The steel backing plate can also be installed at the steel bridge construction site with high flexibility; ②At the construction site, the equipment can be installed only with a wrench, which is convenient and fast; ③The equipment with the sliding rail type protective cover can be opened at any time to check the state of the strain gauge main body and replace the damaged strain gauge main body in time; ④The protective structure of the equipment can effectively prevent the strain gauge main body from being eroded by wind and rain to improve the measurement accuracy and service life; ⑤Compared with the traditional protective cover which is directly welded on the steel bridge, the protective structure of the equipment will not change the measurement cross-section characteristics and will not affect the measurement results; ⑥After the construction is completed, the equipment can be quickly recovered and recycled.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a recoverable strain gauge with a protective structure installed on a steel bridge mainly comprises a steel backing plate (1), a strain gauge main body (2), a data line (3), a U-shaped sliding seat (4), a bolt (5), a sliding rail type protective cover (6) and an elastic rubber band (7).
[0005] The steel backing plate of the recoverable strain gauge with a protective structure installed on a steel bridge should be pre-punched and threaded. When the steel bridge prefabricated component is installed, the steel backing plate can be welded on the component or welded at the steel bridge construction site.
[0006] The both ends of the strain gauge of the recoverable strain gauge with a protective structure installed on a steel bridge should be pre-punched and threaded. The bolt is inserted into the both ends to fasten the strain gauge on the steel backing plate.
[0007] The slide rail type protective cover is welded by thin steel sheet, and the slide rail is welded on the inner side of the protective cover, the U-shaped slide base is made of solid square steel, and needs to be pre-punched, the hole position is aligned with the hole position of the steel pad, and the two are connected by bolts, the U-shaped slide base is slotted along the side surface, and the size is matched with the inner slide rail of the slide rail type protective cover.
[0008] The left and right slide rail type protective covers are tightened by elastic rubber bands after being installed in place, so that the rigid connection is prevented from changing the cross-section characteristics and affecting the measurement results. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
