Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel structure technology, specifically to a non-contact deformation monitoring device for large-span spatial steel structures. Background Technology

[0002] Large-span spatial steel structures are susceptible to deformation due to their large spans, the movement of people, and their own weight. Even minor deformations, if not detected and addressed promptly, can lead to increased deflection, reduced structural performance, and even safety accidents. Therefore, frequent monitoring of deformation is necessary. Deformation monitoring devices can be categorized into contact and non-contact types. Non-contact deformation monitoring devices acquire visual images or 3D point cloud information using scanners, total stations, or other data acquisition equipment. This information is then compared and analyzed with historical data to determine the degree of deformation in the steel structure. Typically, this involves an acquisition device and a tripod. After the tripod is positioned correctly, the acquisition device scans the large-span spatial steel structure and performs 3D dimensional analysis.

[0003] While adjusting the tripod can level the data acquisition device, it requires fine-tuning each of the three legs individually, which is time-consuming in practice. Chinese utility model patent CN215984487U discloses a device for detecting the overall deformation of a building steel structure. It features a support frame and a leveling structure, allowing for rapid leveling using gravity.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this utility model provides a non-contact deformation monitoring device for large-span spatial steel structures. It features a rapid leveling function for the main body 1 of the acquisition device, enabling faster deployment and deformation monitoring of large-span spatial steel structures. The main structure of this utility model includes the acquisition device body 1, a base 2, a pressure plate 4, a swing rod 5, and a locking mechanism. The base 2 is disc-shaped, with a raised ring 18 fixed at its bottom. Three support legs 3 are evenly distributed and hinged on the inner wall of the raised ring 18. These three support legs 3 are telescopic rod structures, with rubber sleeves fitted at the bottom. The rubber sleeves increase friction with the ground, preventing the device from sliding during operation. The telescopic rod structure allows adjustment of the support leg 3 length according to the actual installation environment to adapt to different ground flatness levels, while also saving storage space. The raised ring 18 on the base 2 limits the maximum rotation angle of the support legs 3, preventing excessive rotation when the device is subjected to external forces, thus ensuring the stability of the device.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the swing rod 5 passes through the center of the base 2 and the pressing disc 4, a ball 6 is sleeved on the swing rod 5, the position of the ball 6 on the swing rod 5 is fixed, and the axis of the swing rod 5 passes through the ball center of the ball 6. The ball 6 is between the base 2 and the pressing disc 4, and recesses matched with the ball 6 are formed on the base 2 and the pressing disc 4. Under the constraint of the base 2 and the pressing disc 4, the ball 6 is positioned between the upper and lower recesses, and when the recesses are not tightly fitted with the ball 6, the ball 6 can rotate in the recesses. The counterweight 7 is fixed at the bottom of the swing rod 5, and the body of the collecting device is arranged at the top of the swing rod 5. The distance between the counterweight 7 and the ball 6 is greater than the distance between the body of the collecting device and the ball 6. Under the action of gravity, the counterweight 7 naturally droops downward, so that the swing rod 5 naturally vertically centers on the ball 6, and the body of the collecting device 1 is located directly above the ball 6, thereby achieving automatic leveling.

[0035] When the automatic leveling is completed, the user can use the locking mechanism on the base 2 to drive the pressing disc 4 to move towards the base 2, so that the recesses tightly fit with the ball 6. The ball 6 is tightly pressed under the cooperation of the pressing disc 4 and the base 2, so that it cannot rotate freely any more, thereby realizing the fixation of the position and ensuring that the body of the collecting device 1 does not shake during operation.

[0036] Embodiment two:

[0037] On the basis of the embodiment one, the locking mechanism designed by the utility model comprises a locking rod 9 and four parallel guide columns 8. One end of the four guide columns 8 is fixed on the base 2, and the other end is movably inserted into the pressing disc 4. The guide columns 8 not only can guide the movement of the pressing disc 4, but also can enhance the connection stability between the base 2 and the pressing disc 4, prevent the pressing disc 4 from deviating during the movement process, and ensure that the locking mechanism can accurately drive the pressing disc 4 to tightly fit with the ball 6.

[0038] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 When the locking rod 9 is rotated, the pressing disc 4 will move towards the base 2 along the guide columns 8, so that the recesses on the base 2 and the pressing disc 4 further press the ball 6, the ball 6 is fixed by relying on the friction force, the swing rod 5 is prevented from shaking, the body of the collecting device 1 is prevented from shaking during the rotation collection, and the accuracy of the collected information is ensured.

[0039] Embodiment three:

[0040] On the basis of the embodiment one and the embodiment two, considering that the connecting mechanism preinstalled at the bottom of the collecting device body 1 of part models cannot guarantee that the center of gravity of the collecting device body 1 is on the axis of the swing rod 5, the utility model further designs the connecting structure between the collecting device body and the swing rod 5. Specifically, the swing rod 5 is fixedly connected with the first disc body 10 at the top, the first sliding slot 12 is formed in the first disc body 10, the sliding block 13 is slidably installed in the first sliding slot 12, the second disc body 14 is fixedly installed on the sliding block 13, and the connecting block 11 is slidably installed on the second disc body 14. The bottom of the collecting device body 1 is fixed on the connecting block 11.

[0041] Through the above setting, the connecting block 11 can move linearly on the second disc body 14, and the second disc body 14 can also move linearly on the first disc body 10. The sliding direction of the sliding block 13 in the first sliding slot 12 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the connecting block 11 on the second disc body 14, which makes the connecting block 11 and the first disc body 10 form a planar moving pair, and the connecting block 11 can move in two perpendicular directions in a certain plane parallel to the surface of the first disc body 10. This makes the collecting device body 1 can move in two perpendicular directions in a certain plane perpendicular to the swing rod 5, which is convenient for the user to adjust the position of the collecting device body 1, and sets the center of gravity of the collecting device body 1, the center of the sphere 6 and the center of gravity of the counterweight 7 on the same straight line. In this way, it can be ensured that when the counterweight 7 drives the swing rod 5 to rotate, the counterweight 7 is directly below the sphere 6, the center of gravity of the collecting device body 1 is directly above the sphere 6, and the collecting device body 1 is in a horizontal state.

[0042] In order to facilitate adjustment, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the first screw rod 15 is rotatably installed on the first disc body 10, and the first screw rod 15 is in threaded cooperation with the sliding block 13. The second screw rod 16 is rotatably installed on the second disc body 14, and the second screw rod 16 is in threaded cooperation with the connecting block 11. At the same time, anti-skid knobs 17 are arranged at the ends of the first screw rod 15 and the second screw rod 16. The user can drive the first screw rod 15 and the second screw rod 16 to rotate by rotating the anti-skid knobs 17.

[0043] When the first screw rod 15 is rotated, the sliding block 13 will slide in the first sliding slot 12, thereby driving the second disc body 14 to move. When the second screw rod 16 is rotated, the connecting block 11 will slide on the second disc body 14, thereby driving the collecting device body 1 to move. Through this screw rod transmission mode, the user can accurately adjust the position of the collecting device body 1 relative to the swing rod 5.

[0044] In practical applications, different large-span space steel structures may require different monitoring angles and positions, which requires multiple measurements. When different parts of the steel structure need to be monitored, the user can change the height of the device by adjusting the length of the support leg 3, and adjust the relative position of the acquisition device body 1 and the swing rod 5 by rotating the first lead screw 15 and the second lead screw 16, so that the acquisition device body 1 can be accurately automatically leveled, and the acquisition device body 1 can be aligned with the monitoring target, thereby improving the versatility and applicability of the device. The design of the counterweight 7 makes the swing rod 5 naturally vertical without external force, ensuring the leveling state of the device. Under the action of the locking mechanism, the ball 6 is fixed, and the swing rod 5 will not shake, further improving the stability of the device during the acquisition process, ensuring that the deformation information collected is accurate and reliable.

[0045] In summary, the non-contact deformation monitoring device for large-span space steel structure of the present application has the functions of automatic leveling, stable acquisition and precise position adjustment through reasonable structural design, and has good application prospect.

[0046] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
