The inner wall of 03, the other end of the connecting rod 105 is rotatably connected to the slide block 108 and located above the slide block 108, the slide rod 107 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 104 and located on the inner wall of the strip hole 117, and the slide rod 107 is slidably engaged with the slide block 108, the measuring ruler 106 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 104 and located above the mounting base 104, the auxiliary component is connected to the mounting base 104, and the connecting component is connected to the mounting base 104 and the fixed column 102 respectively.

[0021] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 101 is first fixed to the bridge ceiling, and then the mounting base 104 is fixed to the bridge ground. In actual use, slight settlement of the bridge will cause the fixed column 102 to move downward. During this process, the connecting rod 105 rotates on the base 103 and the slide 108 respectively, converting the vertical movement of the fixed column 102 into the lateral movement of the slide 108. This is observed in conjunction with the measuring ruler 106. The auxiliary component is used to alert staff to abnormal situations, and the connecting component is used to improve the stability of the fixed column 102. In this way, the settlement of the bridge can be quickly observed, which facilitates the staff to assess the safety line of the bridge.
