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.
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a sensor protection structure for pile foundation testing, comprising a sensor body 1, which is a piezoelectric or strain gauge sensor. Multiple support columns 2 are fixedly connected to the outside of the sensor body 1, and sliding cylinders 3 are slidably connected to the outside of the support columns 2, fixed by welding. The constraint of the support columns 2 allows the sliding cylinders 3 to slide stably, thus providing support for the support columns 2. Positioning columns 4 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the inner walls of the multiple sliding cylinders 3, fixed by welding, thus providing support for the positioning columns 4. Opening blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the multiple support columns 2, also fixed by welding, thus providing support for the opening blocks 18.
[0036] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The positioning post 4 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the opening block 18, guiding its stable sliding. A positioning shaft 7 is fixedly connected inside the opening block 18 via welding, ensuring stable guidance. Two springs 8 are sleeved on the outside of the positioning shaft 7, providing uniform force by limiting their movement. Two side blocks 6 are externally slidably connected to the positioning shaft 7, allowing them to slide stably. A trapezoidal block 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the side blocks 6, providing support and causing them to slide synchronously. The positioning post 4 is externally slidably connected to the adjacent side of the two trapezoidal blocks 5, causing them to slide towards the opposite side. Protective plates 9 are fixedly connected to the outside of the two sliding cylinders 3, protecting the sensor body 1 and preventing direct contact with the pile foundation.
[0037] ReferenceFigures 5 to 7 A connecting cover 10 is fixedly connected to the top side of the sensor body 1 by welding, thus providing support for the connecting cover 10. A connector 11 is slidably connected inside the connecting cover 10, allowing the connector 11 to slide stably due to the constraint of the connecting cover 10. A connecting wire 12, which is a multi-strand copper core shielded wire, is fixedly connected inside the connector 11. Connecting frames 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connector 11 by welding, thus providing support for the two connecting frames 13. The two connecting frames 13 are slidably connected to the inside of the left and right ends of the connecting cover 10, allowing the connecting frames 13 to slide stably due to the constraint of the connecting cover 10. Reset components are provided at both ends of the connecting cover 10. Each reset component includes two positioning rods 14, with the outside of the multiple positioning rods 14 fixedly connected to the inside of the left and right ends of the connecting cover 10 by welding, thus providing support for the positioning rods 14.
[0038] A second spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod 14. By restricting the second spring 15, the second spring 15 can be evenly stressed. A side plate 19 is slidably connected to the outside of the positioning rod 14. By restricting the positioning rod 14, the side plate 19 can slide stably. The opposite ends of the multiple side plates 19 are fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the multiple second springs 15. During the sliding process, the side plates 19 compress the second springs 15, allowing the second springs 15 to store elastic potential energy, and then give the side plates 19 a force in the opposite direction for reset. The opposite ends of the multiple second springs 15 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the connecting cover 10. By fixing the second springs 15, the stress points of the second springs 15 are evenly distributed. The outside of the multiple side plates 19 are slidably connected to the inside of the left and right ends of the connecting cover 10. By restricting the connecting cover 10, the side plates 19 can slide stably.
[0039] Triangular blocks 16 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two side plates 19 by welding, providing support for the triangular blocks 16. The exteriors of the two triangular blocks 16 are slidably connected to the interiors of the left and right ends of the connecting cover 10, allowing the triangular blocks 16 to slide stably. The exteriors of the triangular blocks 16 are slidably connected to the interior of the connecting frame 13, engaging with the frame. A push plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the triangular blocks 16, causing them to slide synchronously. The exterior of the opening block 18 is slidably connected to the interior of the sliding cylinder 3, allowing it to slide stably. The exteriors of the two side blocks 6 are slidably connected to the interior of the opening block 18, allowing them to slide stably.
[0040] Working principle: When installing the connector 11 and the sensor body 1, the two connecting frames 13 on the connector 11 are engaged inside the connecting cover 10, while simultaneously pressing against the triangular block 16. The inclined surface of the triangular block 16 allows it to drive the positioning rod 14 to slide, which in turn drives the side plate 19 to slide and compress the second spring 15. This allows the second spring 15 to store elastic potential energy, which then applies a force in the opposite direction to the triangular block 16 to reset it. When the connecting frame 13 is fully engaged inside the connecting cover 10, the triangular block 16 completes the engagement of the connecting frame 13, thereby quickly fixing the sensor body 1 and the connector 11. Conversely, pushing the push plate 17 causes the triangular block 16 to slide, allowing it to slide away from the inside of the connecting frame 13. At this point, the sensor body 1 can be removed.
[0041] Then, the sensor body 1 is engaged in the pile foundation. At this time, the protective plate 9 is pressed against the sliding cylinder 3, which slides along the support column 2. Then, the positioning column 4 slides, so that the positioning column 4 can slide against the two contacting trapezoidal blocks 5. Then, the side block 6 slides and squeezes the spring 8, so that the spring 8 can store elastic potential energy. Then, it gives the positioning shaft 7 a force in the opposite direction to reset it, so that it can contact the pile foundation. The elastic force of the spring 8 is used to reduce the load weight, avoid damage, and thus extend its service life.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
