Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a device for detecting cracking damage and settlement deformation in the substructure of an old bridge mainly consists of multiple anchor bolts 1, multiple housings 5, tie rods 3, displacement sensors 6, springs 4, U-shaped cable channels, control boxes 7, and a PLC remote control module 8.

[0026] Multiple anchor bolts 1 can be anchored to the foundation 9, piers, and abutment surfaces of the old bridge substructure, serving as the connection foundation 9 for one end of the rope 2;

[0027] Multiple housings 5 ​​correspond one-to-one with multiple anchor bolts 1. Each housing 5 is equipped with a pull rod 3 and a displacement sensor 6 inside. The pull rod 3 is slidably installed at one end of the housing 5 and can slide in and out of the housing 5. A pull rope 2 is provided between the pull rod 3 and the anchor bolt 1. The two ends of the pull rope 2 are respectively connected to the outer end of the pull rod 3 and the anchor bolt 1. A spring 4 is fitted on the pull rod 3. A circular baffle 11 is integrally formed at its inner end, forming a T-shaped structure. The two ends of the spring 4 abut against the circular baffle 11 and the inner wall of the housing 5, respectively. In the initial state, the pull rope 2 is in a taut state and the spring 4 is in a compressed state. The displacement sensor 6 is installed at the other end of the housing 5 to detect the displacement change of the circular baffle 11.

[0028] The pull rope 2 is a steel wire rope, which has very high strength and wear resistance; in addition, it can also be made of nylon rope or polyester rope. Nylon rope is strong, durable, waterproof and sun-resistant, while polyester rope has good strength and durability.

[0029] Each of the aforementioned pull ropes 2 is provided with a U-shaped groove (not shown in the figure) for covering and protecting the pull rope 2, which can reduce the exposure of the pull rope 2 to sun and rain; specifically, both sides of the opening of the U-shaped groove are integrally formed with flanges, and the flanges are fixed to the substructure of the old bridge by a number of wall nails; in the above installation structure, the surface damage caused by the wall nails to the substructure of the old bridge is negligible;

[0030] The control box 7 is equipped with a PLC remote control module 8, and each displacement sensor 6 is electrically connected to the PLC remote control module 8. Figure 3As shown, each displacement sensor 6 transmits detection data to the PLC remote control module 8, which transmits the data to the upper computer of the remote monitoring center through 4G / 5G network transmission realized by the SIM card. The staff at the remote monitoring center can obtain the settlement deformation and cracking damage of the old bridge substructure in real time. When the displacement sensor 6 detects settlement and / or cracking of the old bridge substructure, the early warning system of the remote monitoring center can be triggered to provide timely warning, which helps to respond and take remedial measures in a timely manner when the disease occurs. In addition, the control box 7 is anchored to the front wall of the pier 10 by wall nails, and the PLC remote control module 8 is connected to the power supply network or the city power supply of the street lamp.

[0031] Preferably, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The shell 5 includes a closed-end circular cylinder 5.1, the open end of which is threadedly connected with a cylinder cover 5.2. A support 5.3 is welded to the outer side wall of the circular cylinder 5.1 and can be anchored to the surface of the pier 10 by wall nails, and the support 5.3 can support the circular cylinder 5.1. The displacement sensor 6 is fixed to the closed end of the circular cylinder 5.1 and coaxial with the circular cylinder 5.1. The data line of the displacement sensor 6 penetrates the closed end of the circular cylinder 5.1, and the gap between them is waterproof sealed. The pull rod 3 penetrates the center of the cylinder cover 5.2 and is coaxial with the circular cylinder 5.1. The outer end of the pull rod 3 is bent to form a ring-shaped hooking part for tying the pull rope 2. The above-mentioned shell 5 structure can be easily disassembled and maintained, and the displacement sensor 6, spring 4 and pull rod 3 inside can be easily maintained.

[0032] Preferably, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The tail end of the anchor bolt 1 is welded with a screw rod 12, which is coaxial or perpendicular to the anchor bolt when welded on the anchor bolt 1. According to the installation position, a threaded sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 12, and the pull rope 2 is connected to the threaded sleeve 13. By rotating the threaded sleeve 13, the tension state of the pull rope 2 can be adjusted. In particular, after the shell 5 and the anchor bolt 1 are fixed and installed, the two ends of the pull rope 2 are connected between the pull rod 3 and the threaded sleeve 13. In order to facilitate installation, the pull rope 2 may not be straightened, and the threaded sleeve 13 can be rotated to straighten the pull rope 2.

[0033] The end of the threaded sleeve 13 away from the anchor bolt 1 is a closed structure, and a pull ring 14 is rotatably installed on it. The pull rope 2 is tied to the pull ring 14. When the threaded sleeve 13 is rotated, the pull ring 14 rotates relative to the threaded sleeve 13 to avoid twisting the pull rope 2.

[0034] A hexagonal nut 15 is welded to the outside of the threaded sleeve 13 to facilitate the use of a wrench to rotate the threaded sleeve 13.

[0035] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the anchor bolt 1 is an existing expansion bolt, and the housing 5, tie rod 3, U-shaped cable trough, and control box 7 are all made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy. The displacement sensor 6 uses either a BALLUFF capacitive sensor BCS M12B4G2-PSC40D-S04K or a TURCK capacitive sensor BCT2-M08-IOL-V1131, both of which are commercially available products that can be directly purchased, installed, and used. Their specific structure and working principle can be found in their product manuals. The PLC remote control module 8 uses the ZLWL ZP4000 series PLC remote control module 8, which supports 5G. The NR network is backward compatible with 4G, supports one DI / DO function, one relay, and provides standard RS232 and RS485 serial ports. It supports serial port DTU (Data Transmission Terminal) function, remote RS232 / 485 data transmission, and wireless transparent transmission / Modbus protocol / MQTT, etc. It is a product currently on sale and can be purchased, installed, and used directly. Its specific structure and working principle can be found in its product manual, and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0037] This detection device is used to detect settlement and cracking defects in the substructure of old bridges in real time. One detection component consists of an anchor bolt 1, a rope 2, and a housing 5. The device includes multiple detection components, such as... Figure 1 As shown, multiple detection components are spaced apart between the front wall of the pier 10 of the old bridge (the front wall of the pier 10 refers to the facing surface between two piers 10) and the foundation, with the pull rope 2 extending longitudinally to detect the settlement deformation of the foundation 9. Other multiple detection components are spaced apart on the side wall of the pier 10, with the pull rope 2 extending laterally to detect cracking damage to the pier 10 caused by the settlement of the foundation 9. This utilizes the longitudinally and laterally distributed detection components to form a detection network. When the foundation 9 settles, the longitudinally extending pull rope 2 is pulled, causing the circular baffle 11 inside the housing 5 to displace. The displacement sensor 6 detects this displacement change and transmits the data to the PLC. When the side wall of the pier 10 cracks due to the settlement of the foundation 9, the horizontally extending pull rope 2 is pulled, causing the circular baffle 11 inside the shell 5 to shift. The displacement sensor 6 detects this displacement change and transmits the data to the PLC remote control module 8. The PLC remote control module 8 can transmit the data to the host computer of the remote monitoring center via 4G / 5G network through a SIM card. The staff at the remote monitoring center can obtain real-time information on the settlement deformation and cracking damage of the substructure of the old bridge. The early warning system of the remote monitoring center responds promptly and provides timely warnings, which helps to respond promptly and take remedial measures after the defects appear.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the specification of the present application.
