Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete surface crack detection technology, and in particular to a concrete crack detector. Background Technology

[0002] At present, the quality inspection of concrete structures is of paramount importance. Among them, the detection of concrete cracks is a key link in assessing the safety and durability of structures. With the emergence of a large number of concrete buildings such as roads, bridges, and high-rise buildings, the demand for concrete crack detection technology and equipment is also increasing.

[0003] Existing ultrasonic testing equipment is commonly used in concrete crack detection. It utilizes the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in concrete, analyzing parameters such as propagation speed and energy attenuation to determine the presence of cracks and related information, such as depth, location, and width. However, in road inspection scenarios, road surfaces are exposed to the elements for extended periods, accumulating significant amounts of dust and impurities. To ensure accurate results, manual cleaning of the inspection area is usually required. This not only consumes substantial manpower and time but also inevitably stirs up dust during cleaning, severely interfering with the inspection process. Dust causes scattering and absorption of ultrasonic waves as they propagate through the air, weakening the energy of the ultrasonic waves reaching the concrete surface and interior. This reduces the strength of the received detection signal, making it unstable and unclear, thus interfering with the detection signal and making it difficult for inspectors to accurately determine crack parameters. This severely impacts inspection accuracy and reduces overall precision.

[0004] Therefore, a concrete crack detector is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0020] 1. This concrete crack detector, by incorporating a cleaning component and a dust extraction component, can clean dust and impurities from the concrete surface before testing. Simultaneously, the dust extraction component removes dust generated during the cleaning process, avoiding the tedious manual cleaning and saving manpower and time costs.

A connecting rod 92 is fixedly provided between one side of the fixing ring 91 and the inner side wall of the mobile vehicle body 1. The rotating shaft 5 is located in the middle of the fixing ring 91. A rotating rod 93 is fixedly provided on the shaft wall of the rotating shaft 5. Contact heads 94 are fixedly provided on both sides of the end of the rotating rod 93. Mounting seats 95 are fixedly provided on both sides of the inner side wall of the fixing ring 91. Limit switches 96 are fixedly provided on the side walls of the two mounting seats 95.

[0032] An electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the end of the swing arm 6 away from the moving vehicle body 1. The moving end of the electric push rod 7 is fixedly provided with a mounting plate 8, and the ultrasonic instrument 2 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 8.

[0033] The limiting angle limiting component 9 is installed inside the moving vehicle body 1, and the shaft wall of the rotating shaft 5 passes through the center of the limiting angle limiting component 9;

[0034] The cleaning assembly 10 is disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 8. The cleaning assembly 10 includes a cleaning rod 101 fixedly disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 8. A cleaning brush 102 is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the cleaning rod 101. The cleaning brush 102 is made of nylon bristles, which is highly durable and has a good cleaning effect.

[0035] A vacuuming assembly 11 is mounted on the mobile vehicle body 1 and the mounting plate 8. The vacuuming assembly 11 includes a vacuum cleaner 111 fixedly mounted on the mobile vehicle body 1. A hose 112 is fixedly provided at the suction end of the vacuum cleaner 111. A suction pipe 113 is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the mounting plate 8. A suction head 114 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the suction pipe 113. The end of the hose 112 away from the vacuum cleaner 111 is fixedly connected to the pipe wall of the suction pipe 113. Due to the material properties of the hose 112, the hose 112 can bend and change, which can ensure that the suction head 114 can be adjusted with the angle of the swing arm 6 and that suction will not be obstructed.

[0036] The crack marking component 12 is disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 8. The crack marking component 12 includes a pigment storage tank 121 fixedly disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 8. A pump body 122 is fixedly disposed inside the pigment storage tank 121. A downwardly extending marking tube 123 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the pump body 122. The pump body 122 draws out the pigment and squeezes it out through the marking tube 123 to mark the crack position. The ultrasonic instrument 2, motor 4, electric push rod 7, limiting angle limiting component 9 and dust collection component 11 are all electrically connected to the control instrument 3.

[0037] The cleaning component 10, the vacuuming component 11, the ultrasonic instrument 2, and the crack marking component 12 are arranged in order from left to right. Based on the actual operation of the mobile vehicle 1, the rear of the mobile vehicle 1 is the right side, and the front of the mobile vehicle 1 is the left side.

[0038] In this invention, the testing personnel operate the control instrument 3 to coordinate the orderly operation of each component. After receiving the command from the control instrument 3, the motor 4 starts and drives the connected rotating shaft 5 to rotate. The rotating shaft 5 then drives the swing arm 6 to swing. During the rotation of the swing arm 6, the limiting angle limiting mechanism 9 begins to function. When the rotating shaft 5 drives the rotating rod 93 to rotate, the contact heads 94 on both sides of the end of the rotating rod 93 touch the limit switch 96 on the mounting base 95. After the limit switch 96 is triggered, it sends an electrical signal back to the control instrument 3, causing the control instrument 3 to control the motor 4 to stop working or work in reverse, accurately controlling the reciprocating rotation angle of the swing arm 6, and ensuring the stability of the testing process.

[0039] After the swing arm 6 rotates to the appropriate position, the electric push rod 7 works under the control of the control instrument 3, pushing the mounting plate 8 downward so that the various mechanisms on the lower surface of the mounting plate 8 are close to the concrete testing surface. The cleaning mechanism 10 starts first, and the cleaning brush 102 at the lower end of the cleaning rod 101 fixed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 8 cleans the dust and impurities on the concrete surface. At the same time, the dust collection mechanism 11 starts to work. The vacuum cleaner 111 removes the dust generated during cleaning through the hose 112, the suction pipe 113 and the suction head 114, reducing the interference of dust on the testing.

[0040] After cleaning is completed, the operation control instrument 3 controls the ultrasonic instrument 2 to start working, emitting ultrasonic waves into the concrete and receiving reflected waves. Based on parameters such as ultrasonic wave propagation speed and energy attenuation, it determines whether there are cracks and related information. Once a crack is detected, the operation control instrument 3 sends a signal to the control instrument 3 to start the pump body 122. The pump body 122 squeezes out pigment through the marking tube 123 to mark the location of the crack for subsequent processing.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
