Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge expansion joint inspection, specifically a mobile inspection vehicle for detecting bridge expansion joint defects. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge expansion joints are joints installed between the ends of two beams, between a beam end and an abutment, or at the hinged joints of a bridge to accommodate bridge deck deformation. These joints must allow free expansion and contraction in both directions parallel and perpendicular to the bridge axis, be robust and reliable, and provide a smooth ride for vehicles without bumps or noise. They must also prevent rainwater and debris from seeping in and causing blockages. Installation, inspection, maintenance, and cleaning should be simple and convenient. At the location of an expansion joint, the railings and bridge deck pavement must be disconnected.

[0003] For example, a municipal bridge expansion joint detection device (authorization announcement number CN218723879U) includes a work vehicle, a lifting platform, and a detection mechanism. The work vehicle has a connecting groove in the middle for the lifting platform to move up and down. The detection mechanism is installed on the lifting platform and includes a fixed plate and a movable plate. The fixed plate is installed at one end of the lifting platform. A limiting plate is provided on the side of the fixed plate away from the movable plate. The movable plate is slidably connected to the movable platform. A movable plate is provided on the side of the movable plate away from the fixed plate.

[0004] The aforementioned device avoids the cumbersome process of measuring the width of the expansion joint and the height difference between the two beam ends sequentially by reading the ranging data from the first and second laser rangefinders. However, the device lacks a marking feature for the defect locations, making it inconvenient to manually mark the defect locations when they are detected. Utility Model Content

[0030] Secondly, when this device is needed, it can be wirelessly connected to an external host IoT device via the wireless transceiver 34 to control the device. The operator can send a wireless signal from the external host to the wireless transceiver 34, which then sends the signal to the display controller 37 for processing and to control the activation of other components. The display controller 37 can then control the drive motor 16 to rotate the Mecanum wheel 17, moving the device to a designated position. Simultaneously, it controls the side panoramic camera 22 to monitor the surrounding area and send the monitored image data to the display controller 37 via a data cable for processing.

The device 34 wirelessly transmits image data to an external host for processing and display. When the device is placed in an external environment and exposed to sunlight, the sunlight can come into contact with the solar panel 31 to generate electricity. The electricity is then transmitted to the battery 33 via the transmission line 32 for charging and storage. When the device is moved and vibration needs to be reduced, the air pump 24 and the first solenoid valve 26 can be activated. After the air pump 24 is activated, air can be delivered to the shock-absorbing airbag 28 through the air pipe 25 for inflation and expansion, and then the first solenoid valve 26 can be closed. When the device is moved, it can drive the Mecanum wheel 17 and its upper components to vibrate, which in turn drives the rotating plate 12 and its upper components to rotate. When the fixed frame 14 rotates, it can drive the shock-absorbing airbag 28 to extend and retract to reduce vibration.
