Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring equipment technology, and in particular to a device for detecting the thickness of sediment in pile holes. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of technology, some cities have begun to expand, and the number of buildings in the city is gradually increasing. When various buildings are constructed, it is necessary to drill pile holes in the ground. Pile holes are holes drilled to reinforce the underground foundation and improve the load-bearing capacity and earthquake resistance of the building foundation. These holes can be used to drive steel pipe piles and concrete pipe piles.
[0003] After the pile holes used in some building construction are drilled, there will be some sediment at the bottom of the holes. When pouring concrete or other materials later, it is necessary to first test the depth of the debris in the pile hole. The debris is not only solid, but also contains some moisture, which also needs to be tested. However, the existing testing tools can only detect the expansion and contraction of the debris. At the same time, the tools inevitably extend into the debris during the test, which makes the test inaccurate. This is a problem of inaccurate testing for pile holes containing moisture. Utility Model Content
[0004] This disclosure relates to a device for detecting the thickness of sediment in pile holes. A limiting component is installed at the bottom outer end of a sleeve assembly, and a floating component is added to the limiting component. This allows the limiting component to move the sleeve assembly to the top of the debris. The limiting component with the floating component can float on the water surface, facilitating detection. A detection component is slidably installed inside the sleeve assembly. The detection component is designed with a spiral structure, and a counterweight component is added to the top of the detection component to allow the detection component to be better inserted into the debris. The contact component of the sleeve assembly can contact the detection component, thereby facilitating subsequent depth detection.
[0005] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides a device for detecting the thickness of sediment in pile holes, specifically comprising: a sleeve assembly; a limiting component is provided at the bottom outer end of the sleeve assembly, a floating component is mounted on the limiting component, a detection component is slidably installed inside the sleeve assembly, a contact component is mounted on the upper outer wall of the sleeve assembly, the contact component and the detection component are in contact with each other, a counterweight component is provided at the top of the detection component, and ropes are connected and installed on both the counterweight component and the limiting component.
[0006] In at least some embodiments, the main sleeve of the sleeve assembly is configured as a cylindrical structure, and two sets of inner grooves are provided on the inner wall of the main sleeve. Each set of inner grooves is configured as a spiral structure, and the main sleeve is configured as the main connecting component of the device.
[0007] In at least some embodiments, the limiting plate of the limiting component is configured as a disc-shaped structure, with a vertical outer sleeve in the middle of the limiting plate. The limiting plate is sleeved and installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the sleeve component through the outer sleeve. A reinforcing rib is added between the limiting plate and the outer sleeve. Holes are provided on both the reinforcing rib and the outer sleeve. A raised strip is provided on the bottom surface of the limiting plate.
[0008] In at least some embodiments, the slide rail of the floating component is provided on the limiting plate, the bottom of the float of the floating component is provided with a bottom slide groove, the shape and position of the bottom slide groove correspond to the slide rail, and the float is provided with a cavity structure.
[0009] In at least some embodiments, the detection frame of the detection assembly is configured as a spiral frame structure, with a reinforcing strip on the outer wall of the detection frame, a side cut surface on the bottom edge of the detection frame, and a top block installed at the middle of the bottom of the detection frame, with a cut surface on the outer end of the top block.
[0010] In at least some embodiments, the snap ring of the contact component is sleeved and installed on the upper part of the outer wall of the sleeve component. A contact plate is installed between the snap ring and the sleeve component. A contact block is provided at the bottom of the contact plate. The contact block extends into the inside of the sleeve component. The position where the contact block contacts the detection component is set as a one-way tooth structure.
[0011] In at least some embodiments, the connecting plate of the counterweight assembly is disposed on the top of the detection assembly, and two sets of symmetrical counterweights are installed on the connecting plate. A hole is provided in the middle position of the counterweights on the connecting plate, and a rope is connected to the hole of the counterweight.
[0012] This utility model provides a device for detecting the thickness of sediment in pile holes, which has the following advantages:
[0013] In this invention, a limiting component is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sleeve assembly. This limiting component ensures the sleeve assembly is stably positioned above any debris when the device is inserted into the pile hole. A floating component is also installed on the limiting component, allowing the sleeve assembly to remain on the water surface when moisture is present in the pile hole. A detection component is slidably installed inside the sleeve assembly. This detection component has a spiral structure with a side cut and a top block at its bottom, allowing it to be stably inserted into the bottom of the debris in the pile hole. The spiral-shaped detection frame will not descend when in contact with a hard surface. A counterweight component is installed on the top of the detection component to assist in its descent. A contact component is installed on the outer wall of the sleeve assembly. After the detection component descends from the sleeve assembly, the one-way structure at the contact block of the contact component limits its position, securing it to the sleeve assembly. To remove the device for testing, simply pull the rope at the top of the detection component to remove it for measurement.
[0014] In addition, the raised strip on the bottom surface of the limiting plate helps to increase the strength of the bottom of the limiting plate, while the reinforcing rib between the limiting plate and the outer sleeve provides a stable reinforcement between the limiting plate and the outer sleeve. The holes in the outer sleeve allow for the direct installation of bolts, enabling the limiting component to be fixed to the sleeve component. The reinforcing ribs located in the holes facilitate the direct connection of ropes to the outside.
[0015] In addition, by directly setting the slide rail on the limiting plate and aligning the bottom groove of the float with the slide rail, the float can be stably slidably installed on the slide rail through the bottom groove. This allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the float on the limiting assembly, facilitating subsequent adjustments. After the floating assembly is installed on the limiting assembly, it floats stably on the water surface inside the pile hole, making it convenient for measurement.
[0016] Furthermore, the inspection frame is designed with a spiral structure, allowing it to descend spirally along the sleeve assembly, thus achieving better penetration into debris in the pile hole and making the inspection more accurate. The top block at the bottom center of the inspection frame is screwed on and has various structural designs. The outer wall of the top block has a cut surface, allowing the top block to be controlled by tools through the cut surface, enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the top block from the inspection frame. The top block assists in increasing the penetration effect of the inspection assembly into debris, while the side cut surface at the bottom of the inspection frame can be used in conjunction with the top block.
[0017] In addition, during use, the detection component is lowered and placed at the bottom of the debris in the pile hole. In order to prevent the sleeve component from changing position from the detection component when it rises, a contact component is directly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve component. The snap ring snaps into the contact plate, so that the contact block at the bottom of the contact plate is always pressed against the inside of the sleeve component, so that the contact block can stably contact the detection component. The part of the contact block that contacts the detection component is set with a one-way tooth structure, so that the lowered detection component will not rise. This achieves one-way limiting of the detection component by the contact component, which facilitates the measurement of the extension and retraction position of the detection component after the device is removed.
[0018] In addition, to make the descent of the detection component more stable, a connecting plate is directly installed on the top of the detection component, and a counterweight can be installed on the connecting plate. The detection component descends under the gravity of the counterweight, so that the detection component can be stably inserted into the bottom of the pile hole debris. The holes in the connecting plate can be used to directly connect ropes. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0037] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 :
[0038] This utility model proposes a pile hole sediment thickness detection device, including: a sleeve assembly 1; a limiting component 2 is provided at the bottom outer end of the sleeve assembly 1, a floating component 3 is installed on the limiting component 2, a detection component 4 is slidably installed inside the sleeve assembly 1, a contact component 5 is installed on the upper outer wall of the sleeve assembly 1, the contact component 5 is in contact with the detection component 4, a counterweight component 6 is provided at the top of the detection component 4, and ropes 7 are connected and installed on both the counterweight component 6 and the limiting component 2.
[0039] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the main sleeve 101 of the sleeve assembly 1 is configured as a cylindrical structure. Two sets of inner sliding grooves 102 are provided on the inner wall of the main sleeve 101. Each set of inner sliding grooves 102 is configured as a spiral structure. The main sleeve 101 is configured as the main connecting component of the device. The inner sliding grooves 102 on the inner wall of the main sleeve 101 and the spiral structure of each set of inner sliding grooves 102 allow the detection component 4 to be slidably engaged and installed at the inner sliding grooves 102, so that the detection component 4 can easily slide and extend within the sleeve assembly 1.
[0040] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown, the limiting plate 201 of the limiting component 2 is configured as a disc-shaped structure. A vertical outer sleeve 203 is located in the middle of the limiting plate 201. The limiting plate 201 is fitted onto the bottom of the outer wall of the sleeve component 1 via the outer sleeve 203. A reinforcing rib 202 is installed between the limiting plate 201 and the outer sleeve 203. Both the reinforcing rib 202 and the outer sleeve 203 have holes. A raised strip is provided on the bottom surface of the limiting plate 201. The raised strip on the bottom surface of the limiting plate 201 helps to increase the strength of the bottom of the limiting plate 201. The reinforcing rib 202 between the limiting plate 201 and the outer sleeve 203 provides a stable reinforcement between them. The holes in the outer sleeve 203 allow for direct installation of bolts, enabling the limiting component 2 to be fixed to the sleeve component 1. The holes in the reinforcing rib 202 facilitate direct connection of the rope 7 to the outside.
[0041] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 2As shown, the slide rail 303 of the floating component 3 is set on the limiting plate 201. The bottom of the float 301 of the floating component 3 is provided with a bottom sliding groove 302. The shape and position of the bottom sliding groove 302 correspond to the slide rail 303. The float 301 is set with a hollow structure. The slide rail 303 is directly set on the limiting plate 201, and the bottom sliding groove 302 of the float 301 corresponds to the slide rail 303. This allows the float 301 to be stably slidably installed on the slide rail 303 through the bottom sliding groove 302. This enables the float 301 to be quickly installed and removed from the limiting component 2, which is convenient for subsequent adjustments. After the floating component 3 is installed on the limiting component 2, it floats stably on the water surface in the pile hole, which is convenient for measurement.
[0042] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 3 Figure 6 As shown, the detection frame 401 of the detection component 4 is configured as a spiral frame structure. A reinforcing strip 402 is provided on the outer wall of the detection frame 401, and the bottom edge of the detection frame 401 is configured as a side cut surface 403. The detection frame 401 is configured as a spiral structure, which allows the detection frame 401 to descend spirally along the sleeve component 1, forming a better insertion into the pile hole debris, making the detection more accurate. A top block 404 is installed at the middle position of the bottom of the detection frame 401. The outer end of the top block 404 is provided with a cut surface. The top block 404 at the middle bottom of the detection frame 401 is screwed on. The structure of the top block 404 can be configured in various ways. The cut surface on the outer wall of the top block 404 allows the top block 404 to be controlled by tools through the cut surface, realizing the quick installation and removal of the top block 404 from the detection frame 401. The top block 404 assists in increasing the insertion effect of the detection component 4 into the debris. The side cut surface 403 at the bottom of the detection frame 401 can be used in conjunction with the top block 404.
[0043] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, the snap ring 501 of the contact assembly 5 is sleeved and installed on the upper part of the outer wall of the sleeve assembly 1. A contact plate 502 is installed between the snap ring 501 and the sleeve assembly 1. A contact block 503 is provided at the bottom of the contact plate 502. The contact block 503 extends into the sleeve assembly 1. The contact position between the contact block 503 and the detection assembly 4 is set as a one-way tooth structure. When in use, the detection assembly 4 is lowered and placed at the bottom of the debris in the pile hole. At this time, in order to prevent the sleeve assembly 1 from rising from the detection assembly 4, the position of the sleeve assembly 1 and the detection assembly 4 will be adjusted. The change involves directly installing the contact component 5 on the outer wall of the sleeve assembly 1, allowing the snap ring 501 to snap onto the contact plate 502. This ensures that the bottom contact block 503 of the contact plate 502 is always pressed against the inside of the sleeve assembly 1, achieving stable contact between the contact block 503 and the detection component 4. The part of the contact block 503 that contacts the detection component 4 is designed with a one-way tooth structure, preventing the descending detection component 4 from rising. This achieves one-way limiting of the detection component 4 by the contact component 5, thereby facilitating the measurement of the extension and retraction position of the detection component 4 after the device is removed.
[0044] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting plate 601 of the counterweight assembly 6 is set on the top of the detection assembly 4. Two sets of symmetrical counterweights 602 are installed on the connecting plate 601. A hole is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 601 where the counterweights 602 are installed. A rope 7 is connected to the hole of the counterweight 602. In order to make the descent of the detection assembly 4 more stable, the connecting plate 601 is directly set on the top of the detection assembly 4, so that the counterweights 602 can be installed on the connecting plate 601. The detection assembly 4 descends by the gravity of the counterweights 602, so that the detection assembly 4 can stably extend into the bottom of the pile hole debris. The hole of the connecting plate 601 can be used to directly connect the rope 7.
[0045] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the limiting component 2 is installed at the bottom of the sleeve component 1. Then, based on whether there is water in the detected pile hole, the floating component 3 is selected for installation. At the same time, the counterweight block 602 of the counterweight component 6 at the top of the detection component 4 is installed in advance. The reinforcing rib 202 of the limiting component 2 and the counterweight component 6 are connected and installed with ropes 7. Then, the top block 404 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the detection component 4. At this time, the detection component 4 is slid into the inner groove 102 of the sleeve component 1. The ropes 7 of the counterweight component 6 are manually lifted. It is observed that the sleeve component 1 cannot slide down from the detection component 4. The position and tightness of the contact component 5 at the upper end of the sleeve component 1 are adjusted accordingly.
[0046] In use, the entire device is placed in the pile hole directly through the rope 7 of the counterweight component 6. At this time, the limiting component 2 is stably placed above the debris or water in the pile hole. The rope 7 at the limiting component 2 is fixed. Then the rope 7 of the counterweight component 6 is loosened, and the detection component 4 is lowered through the counterweight component 6 so that the bottom of the detection component 4 is placed at the bottom of the pile hole, thus allowing the debris in the pile hole to be directly inserted.
[0047] After use, pull the rope 7 of the counterweight assembly 6, and the contact component 5 of the sleeve assembly 1 will be engaged with the detection component 4. The bottom of the removed device will always maintain the length of insertion under the action of the contact component 5. At this time, the depth of debris in the pile hole can be detected by measurement.
