Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge inspection and maintenance technology, specifically a bridge inspection and maintenance device. Background Technology

[0002] A bridge is an architectural structure whose primary function is to span obstacles such as rivers, straits, valleys, or other types of spatial divisions, allowing vehicles, pedestrians, trains, or pipelines to pass. Bridges not only solve geographical isolation problems but also facilitate transportation, trade, and cultural exchange. The design, construction, and maintenance of bridges require extensive engineering knowledge and technology. Factors to consider during design include the bridge's load-bearing capacity as well as aesthetic and environmental requirements. Regarding bridge maintenance, regular inspection, upkeep, and repair are essential. Timely maintenance and repair can prevent potential safety hazards and extend the bridge's lifespan, necessitating the use of inspection and maintenance devices to ensure the safe operation of bridges.

[0003] Traditional bridge inspection and maintenance devices typically use cameras for this purpose. For ease of use, these cameras are constantly exposed to the elements, and over time, they are susceptible to damage from wind, rain, and vandalism, leading to malfunctions or decreased image quality. To address this issue, some bridge inspection and maintenance devices incorporate two semi-protective shells on either side of the camera, with a moving mechanism between them. This allows the shells to move towards each other, either fitting together to form a single protective shell for the camera or separating to either side for inspection and maintenance. However, this method, with the shells positioned on either side of the camera, limits the camera's detection range and hinders maintenance and cleaning. Therefore, a new bridge inspection and maintenance device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bridge inspection and maintenance device to solve the aforementioned technical problems that not only limit the detection range of the camera but also make it inconvenient to inspect and clean the camera.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bridge inspection and maintenance device, comprising:

[0008] The top plate, and the pivots set around the top plate, and the bottom of the top plate is equipped with support columns, and the lower surface of the support columns is equipped with sliding wheels, and a camera is installed directly below the top plate.

[0009] A protective side plate is provided on the outside of the top plate, and a connecting rope is installed on the front of the protective side plate. A guide shaft is added above the protective side plate, and the guide shaft is in contact with the connecting rope. The protective side plate is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0010] A storage box shell is set on the upper surface of the top plate, and a first drive motor is installed on the outside of the storage box shell. The guide shaft is rotatably connected to the storage box shell, and a winding roller is added to the inner cavity of the storage box shell. The connecting rope is wound around the surface of the winding roller, and the winding roller is coaxially connected to the first drive motor. The first drive motor drives the winding roller on the storage box shell. The connecting rope, according to the rotation of the winding roller, drives the protective side plate to rise along the guide shaft. The protective side plate rotates upward around the pivot and separates from the support column, exposing the camera to the outside world. The camera can then be used to inspect and maintain the bridge. The camera is then moved along the bridge by sliding wheels for comprehensive inspection and maintenance. On the one hand, the protective side plate can rotate to the upper part of the camera's perimeter without obstructing the camera's view, thus avoiding any limitation on the camera's detection range and facilitating cleaning operations. On the other hand, the top plate and the protective side plate can form a sealed protective mechanism, thereby improving the camera's safety. At the same time, the winding and unwinding of the connecting rope along the guide shaft can prevent the connecting rope from rubbing against the top plate, reducing the wear and tear on the connecting rope and extending its service life.

[0011] Preferably, both ends of the guide shaft are rotatably connected to arc-shaped connecting plates, and the arc-shaped connecting plates are connected to the surface of the storage box shell. The guide shaft is connected to the storage box shell through the arc-shaped connecting plates, and the guide shaft rotates on the arc-shaped connecting plates during the winding and unwinding of the connecting rope.

[0012] Preferably, guide rollers are attached to all four sides of the surface of the connecting rope, and the guide rollers are rotatably connected to the storage box shell. The guide rollers are located around the inlet and outlet of the storage box shell. During the winding and unwinding process of the connecting rope along the inlet and outlet of the storage box shell, the guide rollers rotate on the storage box shell, which avoids rubbing between the connecting rope and the storage box shell, reduces wear on the connecting rope, and extends the service life of the connecting rope.

[0013] Preferably, a second drive motor is mounted on the upper surface of the top plate, and a connecting column is added to the upper surface of the top plate, with the second drive motor and the connecting column coaxially connected. The second drive motor drives the connecting column to rotate on the top plate and adjusts the direction of rotation of the connecting column.

[0014] Preferably, a connecting seat is installed at the bottom end of the connecting column, and the connecting seat has an overall U-shaped design, with a third drive motor installed on the outside of the connecting seat. The connecting seat can rotate in the same direction as the connecting column, and the third drive motor on the connecting seat can drive the connecting structure to rotate.

[0015] Preferably, the camera is positioned at the center of the inner cavity of the connector, and a rotating shaft connects the camera to the third drive motor. The third drive motor drives the camera to rotate via the rotating shaft on the connector, allowing the camera to adjust its pitch and orientation, thereby increasing the camera's detection range.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a bridge inspection and maintenance device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This bridge inspection and maintenance device uses a first drive motor to drive a winding roller on the housing shell. The connecting rope, according to the rotation of the winding roller, moves along the guide shaft to lift the protective side plate. The protective side plate rotates upward around the pivot and separates from the support column, exposing the camera to the outside world. The camera then performs inspection and maintenance operations on the bridge. The camera is then moved along the bridge by sliding wheels for comprehensive inspection and maintenance. The protective side plate can rotate to the upper part of the camera's perimeter without obstructing the camera's view, thus avoiding any limitation on the camera's detection range and facilitating cleaning operations. The top plate and protective side plate together form a sealed protective mechanism, thereby improving the camera's safety. The winding and unwinding of the connecting rope along the guide shaft prevents friction between the connecting rope and the top plate, reducing wear and extending the rope's service life.
