[0002] Large-volume concrete structures are widely used in major infrastructure projects such as water conservancy projects, bridges, tunnels, nuclear power plants, and high-rise buildings. Due to their large volume and complex structure, the concrete is susceptible to factors such as temperature stress, shrinkage stress, and external loads during construction and use, leading to internal or surface cracks. These cracks not only affect the integrity and durability of the structure but may also cause serious safety hazards, such as leakage, structural instability, or even collapse. Current methods for detecting cracks in large-volume concrete still have the following shortcomings:
[0003] Traditional crack detection in large-volume concrete often involves workers visually inspecting surface cracks or scanning point by point with handheld instruments. However, due to the large volume of concrete, this increases the workload for workers, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to missed detections.
[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a detection device for large-volume concrete cracks. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions 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 embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] Example:
[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a detection device for large-volume concrete cracks includes a movable base plate 1, a detection mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the movable base plate 1, and a dust blowing component is provided on one side of the detection mechanism 2.
[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the detection mechanism 2 includes a first electric actuator 201, a placement block 202, a placement groove 203, a second electric actuator 204, a fixed plate 205, a stabilizing rod 206, a moving plate 207, a spring 208, an ultrasonic flaw detector 209, a probe 210, and an adjustment assembly 211. The first electric actuator 201 is located on the top of the moving base plate 1, the placement block 202 is located on the top of the first electric actuator 201, the placement groove 203 is formed inside the placement block 202, and the second electric actuator 204 is located on the inner wall of the placement groove 203. A fixed plate 205 is disposed on one side of the second electric push rod 204. Multiple stabilizing rods 206 are slidably connected inside the fixed plate 205. A movable plate 207 is fixedly connected to one side of the stabilizing rods 206. The two ends of multiple springs 208 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 205 and the movable plate 207, and are sleeved on the outside of the stabilizing rods 206. An ultrasonic flaw detector 209 is disposed on the top of the movable base plate 1. A probe 210 is disposed on the side of the movable plate 207 away from the springs 208 and is electrically connected to the ultrasonic flaw detector 209. After applying coupling agent to the probe 210, the second electric actuator 204 is activated, which extends the probe 210 from the moving plate 207 into the placement slot 203 and fits it against the concrete surface. The ultrasonic flaw detector 209 is then turned on, allowing the probe 210 to emit high-frequency sound waves towards the concrete surface, which then propagate within the concrete. When encountering defects such as cracks or voids, the waves are reflected, refracted, or scattered, ultimately displaying on the ultrasonic flaw detector 209 for external observation. The height of the probe 210 can be adjusted by activating the first electric actuator 201, and the user only needs to push the moving base plate 1 from the outside, greatly reducing manual operation.
[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the adjustment assembly 211 includes an extension rod 2111, a pressure sensor 2112, and a controller 2113. The extension rod 2111 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving plate 207 near the spring 208. The pressure sensor 2112 is located on the side of the fixed plate 205 away from the second electric push rod 204. The controller 2113 is located on the top of the placement block 202. Both the second electric push rod 204 and the pressure sensor 2112 are electrically connected to the controller 2113. When the second electric push rod 204 pushes the probe 210 to the concrete surface, it will cause the moving plate 207 to compress the spring 208 and move, causing the extension rod 2111 to touch the pressure sensor 2112. The pressure sensor 2112 receives a signal and transmits it to the controller 2113. The controller 2113 will then stop the second electric push rod 204 in time to prevent damage to the probe 210.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, an extension plate 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the placement block 202, and a small fan 4 is bolted to the top of the extension plate 3. An air guide pipe 5 is provided at the output end of the small fan 4. Before testing, the small fan 4 can be turned on so that the blown air is blown onto the concrete surface through the air guide pipe 5 to disperse the attached dust and reduce the influence of dust on the probe 210.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a mounting frame 6 is bolted to one side of the placement block 202. A battery 7 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 6. The first electric actuator 201, the second electric actuator 204, the pressure sensor 2112, the controller 2113, and the small fan 4 are all electrically connected to the battery 7. By using the battery 7, the device's dependence on an external power source can be reduced, improving its convenience.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of stabilizing grooves 8 are provided on one side of the placement block 202, and ball bearings 9 are movably connected inside the stabilizing grooves 8. The ball bearings 9 can move freely in the stabilizing grooves 8, reducing the friction when the placement block 202 moves on the concrete surface.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, two telescopic rods 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the movable base plate 1, and the top of the telescopic rods 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement block 202. When the first electric push rod 201 pushes the placement block 202 up and down, it will simultaneously drive the two telescopic rods 10 to extend and retract, which improves the stability of the placement block 202 during movement.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, a soft pad 11 is fitted into the inner wall of the placement groove 203, and a pull ring 12 is provided on one side of the soft pad 11. When not performing testing, the soft pad 11 can be inserted into the placement groove 203 to prevent external dust from adhering to the probe 210.
[0036] In summary, when using this large-volume concrete crack detection device: the operator pushes the movable base plate 1 to the designated position, then starts the small fan 4 to blow air through the air duct 5 onto the concrete surface, dispersing the attached dust; the soft pad 11 is pulled out by the pull ring 12, and after applying coupling agent to the probe 210, the second electric actuator 204 is activated, which extends the probe 210 from the placement slot 203 on the movable plate 207 and makes it fit against the concrete surface. When the probe 210 is pressed tightly against the concrete surface, it will push the movable plate 207 in the opposite direction to press down. The spring 208 moves, causing the extension rod 2111 to touch the pressure sensor 2112. The pressure sensor 2112 receives the signal and transmits it to the controller 2113. The controller 2113 will stop the second electric push rod 204 in time to prevent damage to the probe 210. During the test, the ultrasonic flaw detector 209 is turned on, which allows the probe 210 to emit high-frequency sound waves towards the concrete surface and propagate inside the concrete. When it encounters defects such as cracks and voids, it will be reflected, refracted or scattered, and finally displayed on the ultrasonic flaw detector 209 for external personnel to observe.
