Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge deflection measurement technology, specifically a bridge deflection measurement device. Background Technology
[0002] To verify the working performance of the bridge structure and whether the construction meets the design requirements, and to ensure the reliability of the bridge, it is necessary to conduct deflection testing on the bridge.
[0003] There are two main methods for deflection detection using existing technologies. One method is to set up a measuring device between the beam and the ground at a location where deflection is likely to occur. However, this is not convenient when there is water at the bottom of the bridge. The other method is to set up a plumb bob on the bottom wall of the bridge and install a deflectometer below the plumb bob. However, when the bridge is high, the length of the plumb bob will have an adverse effect on the test results, reducing the practicality of the bridge deflection measuring device.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a bridge deflection measuring device. Utility Model Content

The detection target 15 is set on one side of the deflectometer 7. By splicing the splicing rod 10, the rotating cylinder 4 drives the detection target 15 through the fixed rod 9, the splicing rod 10, and the crossbar 12, which makes it convenient to set the detection target 15 at different detection positions. With the cooperation of the deflectometer 7 and the detection target 15, it is convenient to measure the deflection of the bridge, regardless of the bridge environment and height, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0024] In this embodiment, four fixing holes 2 are provided on the inner and outer sides of the mounting base 1, and a through hole communicating with the fixing cylinder 3 is provided at the center of the inner side of the mounting base 1. The servo motor 18 is fixedly installed inside the fixing cylinder 3. The mounting base 1 is conveniently fixed to the bottom of the bridge through the fixing holes 2, and the through hole facilitates the installation of cables and their electrical connection with the servo motor 18.
[0025] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the servo motor 18 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the double-layer turntable 5. A bubble level is fixedly installed on the top of one end of the deflectometer 7. The adjustment mechanism 8 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the double-layer turntable 5 corresponding to the U-shaped frame 6. The adjustment mechanism 8 includes a fixed tube 19 and an adjusting screw 20. The fixed tube 19 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bottom of the double-layer turntable 5. The top end of the adjusting screw 20 is screwed into the inside of the fixed tube 19. A disc is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the adjusting screw 20. A rubber pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the disc, and the rubber pad is in close contact with the top two sides of the deflector 7. By rotating the adjusting screw 20, the deflector 7 can be squeezed and adjusted. In conjunction with the bubble level, the deflector 7 can be easily adjusted to be level. The adjustment screw 20 and the rubber pad squeeze and position the two ends of the deflector 7, which can improve the stability of the deflector 7. The servo motor 18 and the double-layer turntable 5 facilitate the rotation adjustment of the U-shaped frame 6 and the deflector 7, and facilitate the detection of different detection targets 15.
[0026] In this embodiment, one end of the fixing rod 9 is inserted into the inside of the fixing sleeve 11, and the other end of the splicing rod 10 is inserted into the inside of the fixing sleeve 11. Bolts 13 are screwed between the fixing rod 9 and the fixing sleeve 11, and between the splicing rod 10 and the fixing sleeve 11. The slide rod 14 has a "T" shape in side view. The slide rod 14 is slidably installed inside the other end of the crossbar 12 by means of the detection target 15. A spherical protrusion is fixedly provided at the top of the slide rod 14. A spring 16 is fixedly provided between the outer side of the upper end of the slide rod 14 and the crossbar 12. Support rods 17 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the rotating cylinder 4. The top of the support rod 17 is supported at the bottom of the crossbar 12 and the splicing rod 10. The bottom of the rotating cylinder 4 is screwed with a fastening bolt.

This facilitates the selection and adjustment of the position of the sliding rod 14 and the detection target 15. The spherical protrusion facilitates the contact of the sliding rod 14 with the bottom of the bridge. The sliding rod 14 and the spherical protrusion can slide downward when the bottom of the bridge deforms, thereby changing the height of the detection target 15, which facilitates subsequent deflection measurement.
[0027] When using this bridge deflection measuring device, a reference point is set at the bottom of the bridge to be tested. A strong adhesive is applied to the reference point and the mounting base 1 is then bonded and fixed. A fixing bolt is screwed into the fixing hole 2, with one end of the bolt inserted into the strong adhesive. After the adhesive solidifies, it facilitates the fixing of the mounting base 1 and ensures its stability. The servo motor 18 is electrically connected to an external power supply via a cable and controlled by a matching circuit. The adjusting screws 20 on both sides are loosened to adjust the... The rod 20 is screwed upward inside the fixed tube 19. The deflector 7 is adjusted to level using the bubble level, and the adjusting screws 20 on both sides are rotated in the opposite direction so that the bottom ends of the adjusting screws 20 contact and press against the top of the deflector 7, thus improving the stability of the deflector 7. As needed, multiple splicing rods 10 are spliced on one side of the fixed rod 9. The splicing rods 10 are interlocked by fixing sleeves 11 and fixed with bolts 13. The fixed rod 9 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 11 on one of the splicing rods 10 and fixed with bolts 13. To fix it, one end of the crossbar 12 is fixed to the splicing rod 10 by inserting it into the fixing sleeve 11. After installation, the spherical protrusion at the top of the slide rod 14 is in contact with the bottom wall of the bridge. Loosen the fastening bolts and rotate the rotating cylinder 4. The rotating cylinder 4 drives the fixing rod 9, the splicing mechanism, the support rod 17, the slide rod 14, and the detection target 15 to rotate around the fixing cylinder 3. Adjust the position of the detection target 15 and start the servo motor 18 through the matching circuit. The servo motor 18 drives the U-shaped frame 6 to rotate through the double-layer turntable 5. The U-shaped frame 6 drives the deflection meter 7 to rotate. The deflectometer 7 is aligned with the target 15 and its position is measured. Under bridge load, the bridge deforms and bends downwards, pressing the slide bar 14 through the spherical protrusion. The slide bar 14 slides inside the crossbar 12 and moves the target 15 downwards. The position of the target 15 is measured by the deflectometer 7, and the displacement change of the target 15 is obtained. The model of the deflectometer 7 is FS-GDND50. The maximum and minimum deflections of the bridge vibration are calculated and displayed by the software of the deflectometer 7.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
