Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of dock inspection equipment, and in particular to a dock underwater scouring monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] As one of the most important infrastructure components in port hydraulic structures, wharves play a vital role in my country's economic and trade development, the development and maintenance of island and marine land resources, and national defense. However, during their service life, wharves frequently encounter problems such as overload, fatigue, corrosion, and aging. These issues, coupled with extreme weather, ship collisions during berthing, and underwater siltation, seriously affect the safety of wharves during operation. Currently, the health status of port hydraulic structures such as wharves is still assessed manually. These methods are periodic, lack timeliness, are greatly affected by the site environment, are difficult to implement in adverse weather conditions, and cannot promptly assess the structural mechanical performance under sudden load conditions, thus failing to provide early warning of structural disasters.
[0003] In order to monitor the health status of port hydraulic structures in real time, research will be conducted on the health monitoring technology of the wharf throughout its entire life cycle, and to monitor the deformation, corrosion potential, and siltation status of the wharf and important structures. Among these, it is necessary to monitor the structure under the wharf, and to understand the siltation and scour in front of the wharf by monitoring the siltation and scour in real time, to understand the siltation patterns over multiple hydrological years, and to formulate necessary measures to prevent scour or siltation.
[0004] Monitoring equipment is usually installed underwater and needs to be removed for maintenance after a period of time. The conventional method of fixing the monitoring equipment is to use multiple bolts, which is quite troublesome during the removal process. Utility Model Content
[0005] To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of testing equipment, this application provides an underwater scouring monitoring device for docks.
[0006] This application provides a dock underwater scour monitoring device, which adopts the following technical solution: A dock underwater scour monitoring device includes a base and a monitoring head. The monitoring head has a plug-in block. The base has a plug-in slot for inserting the plug-in block. The base is provided with two spaced-apart clamping blocks for clamping the plug-in block. The two clamping blocks move back to back or relative to each other.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the two clamping blocks that move relative to each other fix the plug-in block, thus fixing the position of the monitoring head in the plug-in slot. When removing it, the two clamping blocks can be opened, which is quite convenient.
[0008] Preferably, the plug-in block has symmetrically arranged limiting grooves, and the clamping block is embedded in the limiting grooves.
[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the plug block has an additional semi-cylinder, and the inner wall of one side of the limiting groove is provided with a corresponding anti-fooling groove.
[0010] Preferably, a drive rod is slidably disposed on the base, the drive rod being used to drive two clamping blocks to move in opposite directions, and the opposite side of the clamping blocks having an elastic element.
[0011] Preferably, the drive rod is threaded to the base, and the end of the drive rod is conical for insertion between the two clamping blocks.
[0012] Preferably, the clamping block has a pad on the opposite side.
[0013] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] 1. By using two relatively moving clamping blocks, the two clamping blocks are fixedly inserted into the plug-in block, thus fixing the position of the monitoring head in the plug-in slot. When removing it, the two clamping blocks can be opened, which is quite convenient.
[0015] 2. The clamping block opens by the movement of a single drive rod, enabling the installation and removal of the monitoring head;
[0016] 3. The combination of the semi-cylinder and the anti-fooling groove can also limit the insertion position of the plug-in block, ensuring that the clamping block can be accurately inserted and fixed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] A type of underwater scour monitoring equipment for docks, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2It includes a base 100 and a monitoring head 110. The monitoring head 110 has a plug-in block 111. The base 100 is fixedly installed at the underwater position of the dock. The base 100 has a plug-in slot 112 for the plug-in block 111 to be inserted. The base 100 is provided with two spaced-apart clamping blocks 113 for clamping the plug-in block 111. The two clamping blocks move back to back or relative to each other.
[0023] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The clamping block 113 is slidably disposed within the base 100, and the base 100 has a sliding groove 114 for sliding. An elastic element, which is a return spring 115 in this embodiment, is provided on the opposite side of the clamping block 113. Symmetrical limiting grooves 116 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the insertion block 111. The elastic force of the return spring 115 causes the clamping block 113 to be embedded in the limiting groove 116, which has a limiting effect on the insertion block 111.
[0024] An additional semi-cylinder 121 is provided on the outer side of the plug-in block 111. Correspondingly, an anti-fooling groove 122 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 116. The semi-cylinder 121 can be inserted accordingly. At this time, the limiting groove 116 and the clamping block 113 will also correspond and play a limiting role.
[0025] A drive rod 123 is slidably mounted on the base 100. The drive rod 123 is used to drive two clamping blocks 113 to move in opposite directions. In this embodiment, the drive rod 123 is threadedly connected to the base 100. The end of the drive rod 123 is conical and is used to insert between the two clamping blocks 113. In order for the clamping blocks 113 to exit the limiting groove 116, the radius of the upper side of the drive rod 123 is greater than the depth of the limiting groove 116. However, in order to ensure that the radius of the upper side of the drive rod 123 is not too large and that the depth of the limiting groove 116 is sufficient to meet the requirements of secure engagement, in this embodiment, a pad 124 is provided on the opposite side of the clamping block 113 in the part of the clamping block 113 exposed in the limiting groove 116, that is, the part corresponding to the end of the drive rod 123, to shorten the distance between the two.
[0026] It is worth noting that when the clamping block 113 is located in the limiting groove 116, the conical part of the drive rod 123 is inserted between the two pads 124, which makes it easier to open the clamping block 113 later.
[0027] When the monitoring head 110 needs to be removed, the drive rod 123 is turned downwards, the conical part rotates, and its outer wall abuts against the pad 124, causing the two clamping blocks 113 to move in opposite directions. At this time, the return spring 115 will be compressed. When the non-conical part of the drive rod 123 is inserted, the two clamping blocks 113 disengage from the limiting groove 116, and the plug-in block 111 can be pulled out.
[0028] When reinstalling the monitoring head 110, inserting the plug-in block 111 causes the drive rod 123 to rotate in the opposite direction. The return spring 115 then causes the clamping block 113 to re-insert into the limiting groove 116, achieving a fixing effect. Compared to fixing with multiple bolts, achieving the same fixing effect through a threaded drive rod 123 makes the overall assembly and disassembly process simpler. In other embodiments, the drive rod 123 can also be inserted into the base 100. Simply pressing the drive rod 123 allows the clamping block 113 to be positioned within the limiting groove 116, also enabling the fixing and disassembly of the plug-in block 111, which is even more convenient. The threaded connection increases the connection stability of the drive rod 123 to a certain extent, achieving both stability and convenience.
[0029] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
