Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a verticality detection device in this embodiment. As shown, the device is used to detect the verticality of a light pole and includes: a first detection element 100, which contains a tilt sensor; when the first detection element 100 is in contact with the light pole, it can measure the angle α between the outer wall of the light pole and the ground; a second detection component, including at least two detection units at different vertical positions, each connected to the first detection element 100, which detects the perimeter of the light pole's cross-section at the current vertical position; and a controller connected to the first detection element 100 and / or the second detection component. The controller uses an existing calculation program to calculate the tilt angle of the light pole based on the data detected by the second detection component, and then uses the existing calculation program to calculate the verticality of the light pole. This device can obtain accurate verticality data, while improving the convenience and efficiency of the detection operation, providing reliable technical support for the maintenance and management of highway lighting facilities.

[0023] Specifically, the outer shell of the first testing component 100 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, ensuring it is sturdy, durable, and lightweight, making it easy to operate. The length of the first testing component 100 is 1 meter to 1.5 meters, which meets measurement requirements while also being easy to carry and use.

[0024] Specifically, the tilt sensor has a built-in microelectromechanical system, with a measurement accuracy of ±0.1° and a measurement range of ±10°; the tilt sensor is connected to the controller via a data cable, and transmits the measurement data to the calculator for processing in real time.

[0025] Specifically, the controller is a high-performance microprocessor with the ability to process data quickly. The controller is also equipped with a large-capacity memory for storing measurement data and intermediate data during the calculation process. The controller is also equipped with multiple data input interfaces to facilitate connection to external devices for data transmission and analysis.

[0026] Specifically, the controller is equipped with existing cone slope calculation program and included angle calculation program; the perimeter of the cross section at two height positions obtained by the second detection component and the height difference between the two height positions are input into the cone slope calculation program to calculate the tilt angle b of the lamp post itself; then the angle a obtained by the first detection component 100 and the calculated tilt angle b are input into the included angle calculation program to obtain the verticality of the lamp post.

[0027] Specifically, the controller calculates the tilt angle b of the light pole itself by calculating the radius of the light pole at each of at least two height positions based on the perimeter of the cross sections; and by using the difference in radii between the two light pole positions and the straight-line distance between the two detection units, the tilt angle b of the light pole itself can be calculated based on trigonometric relationships.

[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a partial structural side view of a verticality detection device in this embodiment.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first detection element 100 has a mounting groove 110 on its side wall; the detection unit includes a measuring tape 210, which is fixed in the mounting groove 110.

[0030] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the structure of a measuring tape 210 of a verticality detection device in this embodiment.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the measuring tape 210 includes: a fixed base 211, fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 110, with a fixed shaft 2111 on the fixed base 211; a rotating shaft 212, rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 2111; and a measuring part 213, connected to the rotating shaft 212, with the measuring part 213 arranged around the rotating shaft 212. In use, the measuring part 213 is pulled out, allowing it to circle the lamp post, with the zero mark of the measuring part 213 close to the lamp post and aligned with the starting point. The scale value corresponding to the position of the measuring tape 210 in the groove at the top of the vertical ruler is then read. Specifically, the fixed base 211 is connected to the mounting groove 110 by bolts.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the measuring tape 210 also includes a fixing cover 214, which is detachably connected to the fixing base 211. The fixing cover 214 has an outlet for the measuring part 213 to extend out. The fixing cover 214 prevents the measuring part 213 from deviating when extended, thus improving measurement accuracy.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a top view of the measuring tape 210 of a verticality detection device in this embodiment, omitting the fixing cover 214.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the detection unit further includes a rotary encoder 215 connected to the rotating shaft 212, and the rotary encoder 215 is connected to the controller; the rotary encoder 215 is used to acquire the extension length data of the measuring part 213. The rotary encoder 215 directly acquires the circumference of the light pole at that height position based on the extension length of the measuring part 213, and displays it on the display screen 300; the operator can compare the measured data with the actual data to determine whether the measurement is accurate. In other embodiments, the rotary encoder 215 may not be used, and the circumference data can be directly detected by a measuring tape 210, which can reduce production costs. After the detection is completed, the operator manually inputs the detection data into the controller.

[0035] See Figure 1 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the detection unit also includes a hook 220, which is hinged to the side of the first detection element 100 away from the measuring tape 210. Specifically, the hook 220 is L-shaped, and the lower end face of the hook 220 is flush with the measuring part 213. When the measuring part 213 surrounds the lamp post, the hook 220 can move to the side closer to the lamp post to provide auxiliary support for the measuring part 213, prevent deviation during measurement, and improve the accuracy of measurement.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the verticality detection device also includes a display screen 300, which is fixed to the first detection element 100 and connected to the controller. The data acquired by the tilt sensor and rotary encoder 215, as well as the included angle α, included angle β, and verticality data, are all displayed on the display screen 300. Specifically, the display screen 300 is fixed to the side of the first detection element 100 away from the lamp post.

[0037] Preferably, the display screen 300 is a touch screen, allowing staff to directly modify data on the display screen 300 to obtain more accurate test results.

[0038] Preferably, there are two detection units, one of which is located above the first detection element 100 and the other is located below the first detection element 100; by increasing the specificity of the detection units, the accuracy of the data is improved.

[0039] Preferably, the first detection element 100 has a magnetic surface on the side near the lamp post, which makes it easier for the first detection element 100 to fit with the lamp post.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, in this utility model, the angle α between the outer wall of the lamp post and the ground is detected by the first detection component, and the perimeter of the lamp post at different height positions is detected by the second detection component. The tilt angle b of the lamp post itself is calculated by the perimeter, and the verticality of the lamp post is calculated by ab, thus obtaining accurate verticality data. At the same time, the convenience and efficiency of the detection operation are improved, providing reliable technical support for the maintenance and management of highway lighting facilities.

[0041] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
