Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crack width measurement technology, specifically to a concrete crack width measuring instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Cracks are a common defect in concrete structures, and the general standard for detecting concrete cracks stipulates that the maximum crack width is 0.2 mm. The presence and development of cracks usually cause corrosion of internal materials such as reinforcing steel, reducing the load-bearing capacity of the concrete, affecting the service life of the building, and in severe cases, threatening people's lives. Quickly and accurately measuring the width of concrete cracks and determining whether they exceed the specified range is of great significance for ensuring the safety of concrete structures. Currently, the most widely used method for measuring crack width in China is the reading microscope.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Existing concrete crack width measuring instruments require manual handling of the device, which can cause deviations in the measurement direction, resulting in inaccurate measurements of the crack width in the forward direction.

[0005] 2. Existing concrete crack width measuring instruments require manual adjustment of the spacing of the width measuring plates, which is inconvenient to operate during measurement. During the adjustment process, the force applied may cause the device to deviate from its original direction, making the device inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0008] A sliding rod is fixedly connected inside the first mounting groove, a hydraulic lifting rod is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod, an insert rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic lifting rod, and a mounting hole is provided on the other side of the top of the support plate.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the inner wall of the first mounting groove is provided with a sliding groove, the insertion rod is movably inserted into the inside of the sliding groove, and the outer wall of the hydraulic lifting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a second mounting groove is provided inside the support column, a base box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column, a hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected inside the second mounting groove, a piston is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic telescopic rod, a connecting frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second mounting groove, a sleeve is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame, an adsorption rubber is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve, and a concave hole is provided at the top of the adsorption rubber.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the piston is movably connected to the inside of the sleeve and the inside of the adsorption rubber mounting base box.

[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a connecting cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic lifting rod, an image acquisition module is fixedly connected inside the connecting cylinder, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the image acquisition module, a contact is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, and a receiver is fixedly connected to the top of the image acquisition module.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a mounting rail is inserted into the top of the receiver, motors are fixedly connected to both ends of the receiver, a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a slider is movably connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod, and a contact plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides a concrete crack width measuring instrument. When using the measuring instrument, first determine the location of the crack to be measured, then install the support column on one side of the crack for fixed support, then rotate the connecting nut to adjust the installation direction of the support plate, and adjust the hydraulic lifting rod by pushing it through a cylinder on one side to change the installation position of the hydraulic lifting rod inside the first installation groove, moving it directly above the crack. The hydraulic lifting rod is pulled by a transmission rod, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and reducing slippage due to terrain. Compared with existing devices, where manual handling leads to inaccurate measurement positions and deviations in measurement data, this device eliminates the need for manual handling, ensuring that the bottom of the hydraulic lifting rod is precisely aligned with the top of the crack, facilitating accurate measurement of the crack later.

[0017] 2. This utility model provides a concrete crack width measuring instrument. The contact head is inserted into the crack by pushing the top hydraulic lifting rod. First, the middle point is determined and kept stable. Then, the image acquisition module takes a picture of the crack from the top and transmits the front image of the crack. At the same time, the motor rotates and the slider slides, causing the contact plate to adhere to the inner wall of the crack to measure the distance of the crack. The width of the crack is measured according to the distance between the two sets of contact plates, making the device more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The inner wall of the first mounting groove 4 is provided with a sliding groove 30, and the insertion rod 9 is movably inserted into the inside of the sliding groove 30. The outer wall of the hydraulic lifting rod 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 7.

[0028] In this implementation, when using the measuring instrument, the location of the crack to be measured is first determined. Then, the support column 1 is installed on one side of the crack for fixed support. Then, the connecting nut 3 is rotated to adjust the installation direction of the support plate 2. The hydraulic lifting rod 8 is adjusted by pushing it through the cylinder 5 on one side, changing the installation position of the hydraulic lifting rod 8 inside the first mounting groove 4, and moving it directly above the crack. The hydraulic lifting rod 8 is pulled by the transmission rod 6, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and reducing slippage due to terrain. Compared with existing devices, where manual handling results in an incorrect measurement position and deviations in measurement data, this device eliminates the need for manual handling, ensuring that the bottom of the hydraulic lifting rod 8 is precisely aligned with the top of the crack, facilitating accurate measurement of the crack later.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, a second mounting groove 13 is provided inside the support column 1, a bottom box 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 1, a hydraulic telescopic rod 15 is fixedly connected inside the second mounting groove 13, a piston 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic telescopic rod 15, a connecting frame 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second mounting groove 13, a sleeve 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 18, an adsorption rubber 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve 17, and a concave hole 20 is provided on the top of the adsorption rubber 19.

[0032] In this embodiment, the support column 1 first determines the installation position of the device. Its internal hydraulic telescopic rod 15 pushes the bottom piston 16 down towards the bottom of the sleeve 17, causing the bottom adsorption rubber 19 to deform and adsorb onto the ground, thereby the bottom box 14 is stably supported on the ground.

At the same time, the motor 26 rotates to make the slider 28 slide, causing the contact plate 29 to adhere to the inner wall of the crack for distance measurement. The width of the crack is measured based on the distance between the two sets of contact plates 29, making the device more convenient.

[0038] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
