Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slope displacement measurement and detection technology, and in particular to an automatic balancing device for slope displacement measurement and detection. Background Technology
[0002] Slope displacement measurement and detection refers to the process of real-time or periodic monitoring of parameters such as displacement, direction, and velocity of slope soil and rock using professional instruments and technical means. The balancing device monitors the slope displacement in real time and automatically adjusts the equipment posture to maintain measurement accuracy, ensuring the continuity and reliability of displacement data.
[0003] Meanwhile, traditional balancing devices typically use tripods or adjustable support bases, which are usually fixed and manually calibrated. However, their stability is easily affected by ground subsidence or strong winds, making it difficult to cope with sudden slope deformation. The single-point contact between the tripod and the ground is prone to tilting under soft soil conditions, affecting the overall balance effect. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Slope displacement monitoring is a core component of geological disaster early warning and engineering safety, and its technological development has evolved from manual observation to intelligent monitoring. Traditional methods mainly rely on geodetic instruments (such as total stations and levels) and simple observation stakes, calculating displacement by manually measuring changes in crack width or stake spacing periodically. While these methods are inexpensive, they suffer from data dispersion and poor timeliness, making it difficult to capture sudden slope deformations. With the introduction of technologies such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and remote sensing photogrammetry, monitoring accuracy and coverage have improved, but they are still limited by fixed equipment installation and cannot dynamically adapt to the tilting of the reference surface caused by slope deformation.
[0022] Limitations of traditional monitoring technologies
[0023] The current technological system still faces the following prominent problems:
[0024] The drawbacks of manual monitoring include: reliance on periodic on-site measurements, high risk (e.g., operations on steep slopes), high cost (labor and time consumption), and data lag (inability to provide real-time early warnings).
[0025] Insufficient equipment adaptability: Fixed monitoring stations are susceptible to slope deformation, leading to benchmark failure; tripod structures exhibit poor stability in soft soil.
[0026] Significant environmental interference: meteorological factors such as strong winds and rainfall can mask the true displacement signal, and special geological conditions (such as permafrost and karst areas) exacerbate the difficulty of equipment installation.
[0027] Modern technological breakthroughs
[0028] To address these challenges, the new generation of monitoring technologies exhibits three main characteristics:
[0029] Intelligent sensing: Sub-millimeter level measurements are achieved using fiber optic sensors, MEMS gyroscopes, and other equipment, combined with AI algorithms to distinguish between environmental noise and actual displacement.
[0030] Automated networking: By leveraging BeiDou high-precision positioning and cloud computing technology, an integrated "air-ground" monitoring network is constructed, supporting 24 / 7 real-time data transmission.
[0031] Adaptive adjustment: Develop biomimetic anchoring structures and self-balancing platforms to automatically correct the benchmark within a ±15° tilt range, ensuring measurement continuity under extreme conditions.
[0032] Core technology innovation
[0033] Key technological breakthroughs in recent years include:
[0034] Multi-source sensor fusion: Integrating equipment such as vibrating wire force gauges and electrical anchor bolts to achieve synchronous acquisition of multiple parameters such as displacement, stress, and hydrology.
[0035] Non-contact measurement: Utilizing machine vision technology for two-dimensional surface displacement monitoring, avoiding the installation risks associated with contact sensors.
[0036] Early warning model optimization: A displacement prediction model based on LSTM neural network was built. A case study of a highway showed that a landslide warning can be issued 30 minutes in advance.
[0037] Industry standard requirements
[0038] According to GB 50497-2019 Technical Specification for Slope Engineering Monitoring, modern displacement monitoring systems must meet the following requirements:
[0039] Accuracy specifications: Planar displacement measurement error ≤ ±1mm, elevation error ≤ ±2mm
[0040] Environmental tolerance: Operating temperature range -40℃ to +85℃, protection rating IP6856
[0041] Data standards: Sampling frequency ≥ 1Hz, supporting data interaction with GIS / BIM systems.
[0042] Future development trends
[0043] Technological evolution will focus on the following directions:
[0044] Miniaturized devices: Developing low-power MEMS sensors to solve the power supply problem in the field.
[0045] Digital twin applications: Real-time simulation of slope conditions through 3D modeling to improve the accuracy of early warning. Universal monitoring: Promote low-cost, universal monitoring equipment to expand the coverage of geological disaster early warning.
[0046] Insufficient environmental adaptability
[0047] Extreme weather impacts: Existing equipment is prone to data drift under conditions of -40°C or heavy rainfall. The positioning error of GNSS receivers may increase to the centimeter level during rainstorms.
[0048] Geological limitations: In special geological environments such as karst areas and permafrost zones, the failure rate of traditional anchoring structures can be as high as 20%, and there is a risk of falling when inclinometer tubes are installed in deep holes of more than 30 meters.
[0049] Electromagnetic interference issues: Strong electromagnetic environments such as mining areas can cause satellite signals to lose lock, and GNSS systems need to rely on ground reference stations for compensation, increasing deployment costs.
[0050] Data acquisition and processing bottlenecks
[0051] Multi-source data fusion is challenging: there are spatiotemporal reference differences between surface GNSS displacement data and deep inclinometer data, and a unified processing standard is currently lacking.
[0052] Real-time requirements present challenges: Traditional total station measurements require manual intervention, and while automated systems can achieve 1Hz sampling, insufficient computing power in edge computing devices leads to delayed warnings.
[0053] Noise separation challenge: High-frequency noise of 10-50Hz generated by strong wind vibration (> level 8) can mask the real displacement signal, and existing filtering algorithms have a misjudgment rate of over 15%.
[0054] System integration and maintenance issues
[0055] Energy consumption is a significant problem: high-precision MEMS sensors consume up to 5W of power, which conflicts with the 24 / 7 battery life required for field monitoring.
[0056] The installation is highly complex: GNSS monitoring stations must meet stringent conditions such as a baseline distance of ≤500 meters and no obstructions, and deployment in mountainous areas takes an average of 4-6 hours.
[0057] Rising maintenance costs: The annual maintenance cost of a multi-sensor system is more than three times that of a single-point monitoring system, and it requires regular calibration by professionals.
[0058] Lagging technical standards
[0059] Lack of accuracy evaluation system: There is a lack of unified standards for accuracy verification of different monitoring methods (such as InSAR and GNSS), resulting in poor data comparability.
[0060] Vague warning thresholds: Current standards for displacement rate classification (such as blue / yellow / red warnings) do not take into account geological differences, and rock slopes and soil slopes are treated with the same standards.
[0061] Interface protocol fragmentation: There are compatibility issues between RS485 and Modbus protocols of different manufacturers' equipment, which increases the difficulty of system integration.
[0062] Obstacles to intelligent application
[0063] AI models lack generalization ability: Existing LSTM prediction models experience a 30%-50% drop in accuracy when applied across regions, requiring retraining.
[0064] The foundation of digital twins is weak: BIM models are unable to accurately reflect long-term geological processes such as freeze-thaw cycles, and the simulation error exceeds the actual displacement by 20%.
[0065] Delayed emergency response: It takes an average of 8 minutes from monitoring to the transmission of early warning information, and a closed loop of "monitoring-decision-response" has not yet been formed.
[0066] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the automatic balancing device for slope displacement measurement and detection includes a main rod 1, an automatic balancing disc 2, plug-in arms 3, a central rod 4, and a tree root-like anchor 5.

A number of adjustment brackets 205 are provided in a circumferential manner near the edge of the bottom of the automatic balancing disc 2.
[0068] Please see Figures 3-4In this embodiment, the end of the adjustment frame 205 away from the automatic balancing disk 2 is provided with a connecting frame 206 connected to the main rod 1. A steering rod 207 is provided between the connecting frame 206 and the adjustment frame 205. The outer end of the steering rod 207 is connected to a drive motor 208. The drive motor 208 drives the steering rod 207 to make the connecting frame 206 and the adjustment frame 205 swing. Several sets of spring ropes 204 extending to the gyroscope are distributed at the bottom of the automatic balancing disk 2. The spring ropes 204 have a spring rubber layer inside. A docking block 301 is connected above the plug arm 3. A guide frame 302 is provided between the docking block 301 and the plug arm 3. A positioning bolt 303 is provided between the guide frame 302 and the docking block 301. A rotating rod 307 is provided between the plug arm 3 and the guide frame 302. The outer end of the rotating rod 307 is connected to a control motor 306. The control motor 306 drives the rotating rod 307 to make the plug arm 3 and the guide frame 302 swing. A guide groove 308 is opened in the middle of the plug arm 3.
[0069] Please see Figures 3-5 In this embodiment, a slide table 309 is slidably mounted on the guide groove 308 of the plug-in arm 3. A push rod 311 is provided at one end of the slide table 309. A cylinder 312 is located at the end of the push rod 311 away from the slide table 309. The cylinder 312 drives the push rod 311 to move the slide table 309 along the guide groove 308. Infrared lasers 310 are provided on both sides of the slide table 309. A spring post 304 is connected to the side end of the plug-in arm 3. A plug rod 305 is provided at the center of the spring post 304. The inner part of the spring post 304... The part is equipped with a damping rubber device. The bottom of the center rod 4 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 401. The bottom of the pressure plate 401 is provided with several sets of through holes 402.

An anchor head 502 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension anchor 501 away from the imitation tree root anchor 5.
[0070] The central rod 4 at the bottom of the main rod 1 is inserted into the ground. Its bearing plate 401 detects the horizontal state through the balance plate 403 and mercury ball 404 to ensure the vertical positioning of the main rod 1. At the same time, the plug arm 3 extends outward, and the tree root-like anchor 5 at the end penetrates into the ground to form multi-point distributed support, which enhances the anti-tilting ability of the device under soft soil or slope deformation conditions. The automatic balance plate 2 monitors the tilt state of the main rod 1 in real time through the gyroscope. If a deviation is detected, the drive motor 208 drives the steering rod 207 to adjust the angle of the adjustment frame 205, so that the automatic balance plate 2 returns to the horizontal. The spring rubber layer inside the spring rope 204 provides buffering to reduce external vibration interference. The slide 309 on the plug arm 3 is driven by the cylinder 312 to move along the guide groove 308. The infrared laser 310 measures the slope displacement change and adjusts the angle of the plug arm 3 by controlling the motor 306 to ensure the stability of the measurement benchmark. The damping rubber inside the spring column 304 absorbs external impacts and prevents the device from becoming unstable due to sudden deformation of the slope. The rubber damping rope 106 and damper 105 at the bottom of the connecting plate 101 absorb vibrations. The guide column 102 cooperates with the chassis 103 to prevent the main rod 1 from shifting due to ground settlement or strong winds, thus ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data.
