[0036] Example 1
[0037] This utility model discloses a modular intelligent tunnel monitoring terminal, referencing... Figures 1 to 9 The system includes: component box 1, laser monitoring module 2, monitoring module motor 3, camera 4, and motherboard 5. The laser monitoring module 2 is rotatably positioned at the front center of component box 1. The monitoring module motor 3 is fixedly connected to component box 1. The fixed connection between the output shaft of the laser monitoring module 2 and the monitoring module motor 3 provides power for the rotation of the laser monitoring module 2, allowing it to flexibly adjust the monitoring angle to meet the monitoring needs of different locations within the tunnel.
[0038] The laser monitoring module 2 includes a module compartment 201, a compartment cover 202, a surrounding laser module 203, and a contour laser module 204. The contour laser module 204 is fixedly installed inside the module compartment 201 and is used to emit laser signals that scan the contour of the tunnel, thereby acquiring relevant data about the tunnel structure. The compartment cover 202 is fixedly installed at the front end of the module compartment 201, serving to protect the internal components. The surrounding laser module 203 is also fixed inside the module compartment 201 and extends outward through the compartment cover 202. Its main function is to indicate the position of the detected plane, providing monitoring personnel with intuitive reference information and helping to more accurately judge the tunnel's condition. A transmission window 205 is provided on the side of the module compartment 201. The transmission window 205 ensures that the laser signal can be emitted without obstruction and that signals reflected back from the tunnel wall can be received, thereby achieving precise monitoring of the tunnel contour.
[0039] Camera 4 is fixedly mounted on the top front of component box 1. This position allows camera 4 to obtain a relatively wide field of view, facilitating real-time shooting and recording of construction conditions or other related scenes inside the tunnel. To protect camera 4 from dust and debris, a glass baffle 9 is installed at the front of component box 1 where camera 4 is mounted, ensuring the clarity of the captured images and providing high-quality image data for monitoring work.
[0040] The motherboard 5, as the core control unit of the entire monitoring terminal, is fixedly installed inside the component box 1. It is responsible for processing data from various sensors and coordinating and controlling the operation of the entire system. At the same time, heat sinks 6 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the component box 1, which can effectively dissipate the heat generated inside the component box 1, ensuring the stability and reliability of the monitoring terminal during long-term operation.
[0041] Meanwhile, a connector socket 8 is also fixedly installed on the back of the component box 1, which enables the monitoring terminal to connect with other external devices or systems, making data transmission and device control more convenient.
[0042] In addition, tri-color lights 7 are fixedly installed on the back of component box 1. These tri-color lights 7 can emit different colors of light according to the different working status of the monitoring terminal, providing intuitive status indicators for on-site staff and making it easier for them to understand the operating status of the equipment in a timely manner.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] This modular intelligent tunnel monitoring terminal has a track vehicle 10 fixedly installed at the bottom of component box 1. The track vehicle 10 is the key component for enabling the device to move automatically along the tunnel sidewall. The track vehicle 10 consists of a vehicle body 1001, guide wheels 1002, drive wheels 1003, drive motor 1004, and track brushes 1005. The guide wheels 1002 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the vehicle body 1001 to ensure the stable movement of the track vehicle 10 on the track, maintaining smooth operation even when the track is uneven or curved. The drive motor 1004 is fixedly mounted on one side of the vehicle body 1001, providing power for the movement of the track vehicle 10. The drive wheels 1003 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 1004. The rotation of the motor drives the drive wheels 1003 to rotate, thereby propelling the track vehicle 10 along the track. The track brushes 1005 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the vehicle body 1001. Their main function is to clean debris, such as dust, gravel, or other objects that may obstruct the movement of the track vehicle 10 during its movement. The cleaning action of the track brush 1005 can effectively reduce obstacles on the track and ensure the smooth operation of the track vehicle 10.
[0045] Example 3
[0046] To achieve stable movement and efficient monitoring of the modular tunnel intelligent monitoring terminal within the tunnel, this invention specifically designs a track assembly 11 for use with the track vehicle 10. The track assembly 11 consists of an installation section 1101 and a connecting section 1102. The installation section 1101 is made of rigid metal material, possessing high strength and stability, and providing reliable support for the entire monitoring terminal. A connecting rod 1103 is provided on the installation section 1101. By fixing the connecting rod 1103, the installation section 1101 can be firmly fixed to the tunnel sidewall, ensuring the stability and safety of the track assembly 11 within the tunnel.
[0047] The connecting section 1102 is made of a wear-resistant material with a certain degree of toughness. This material selection allows the connecting section 1102 to not only withstand long-term wear but also to be flexibly bent according to the shape of the tunnel. This flexibility is one of the key features of the track assembly 11 design, as it allows the connecting section 1102 to be adjusted according to the geometry of the tunnel, thus better adapting to the curves and irregular shapes of the tunnel. The connecting section 1102 is fixedly connected to the mounting section 1101 at both ends to form a continuous track system, providing a stable path for the movement of the track vehicle 10.
[0048] In the actual installation process, the installation section 1101 is first fixed to a predetermined position on the tunnel sidewall using connecting rods 1103 to ensure its firmness and stability. Then, according to the specific shape and size of the tunnel, connecting sections 1102 are installed between adjacent installation sections 1101. The flexibility of the connecting sections 1102 allows them to easily adapt to the curved sections of the tunnel, thus forming a continuous and stable track throughout the tunnel. The track vehicle 10 moves smoothly along this track via its bottom assembly, including guide wheels 1002, drive wheels 1003, and track brushes 1005, enabling automatic monitoring of the tunnel sidewall.
[0049] The working principle and usage procedure of this device are as follows:
[0050] Working principle
[0051] Driven by the monitoring module motor 3, the laser monitoring module 2 can rotate at the center of the front end of the component box 1, thereby scanning different positions of the tunnel sidewall. The contour laser module 204 is fixed inside the module compartment 201 and emits laser signals outward through the emission window 205 to scan the contour of the tunnel sidewall and monitor the tunnel settlement. The surrounding laser module 203 extends outward through the compartment cover 202 to indicate the position of the detected plane, making it easier for monitoring personnel to intuitively understand the scanned area. The camera 4 is fixed at the top front end of the component box 1 to record on-site construction footage, and its front glass baffle 9 can prevent dust and debris from interfering with the recording. The railcar 10 is installed at the bottom of the component box 1. Driven by the drive motor 1004, the drive wheel 1003 rotates, allowing the railcar 10 to move along the track, realizing the automatic walking function of the device. The track brush 1005 is installed at both ends of the car body 1001 to clean debris on the track and ensure the smooth operation of the railcar 10. The tri-color light 7 on the back of component box 1 is used to indicate the working status of the device, the connector socket 8 is used for communication connection with other devices or systems, and the heat sink 6 ensures the stability of the device during long-term operation.
[0052] Usage process
[0053] When using this device, the track assembly 11 must first be installed according to the specific size and shape of the tunnel. The installation section 1101 is fixed to the tunnel sidewall via connecting rods 1103, providing stable support for the device. The connecting section 1102 is bent according to the tunnel's geometry and fixed between the installation sections 1101, forming a continuous track. After the track assembly 11 is installed, the modular tunnel intelligent monitoring terminal is installed on the track via the track cart 10 at its bottom. After installation, the power is turned on, and the device is started. The main board 5 controls the monitoring module motor 3 to rotate, adjusting the angle of the laser monitoring module 2 to align it with the monitoring area of the tunnel sidewall. The contour laser module 204 begins emitting laser signals, scanning the contour of the tunnel sidewall through the emission window 205. The monitoring data is transmitted to the main board 5 in real time for processing and analysis. Simultaneously, the surrounding laser modules 203 indicate the position of the detection plane, and the camera 4 begins recording the on-site construction footage. The track cart 10 moves along the track under the drive of the drive motor 1004, and the track brush 1005 cleans debris from the track, ensuring smooth movement of the device. During its movement, the device monitors tunnel settlement in real time and transmits the data to the monitoring center. The monitoring center analyzes the monitoring data to promptly detect changes in the tunnel structure, providing a scientific basis for tunnel safety management and maintenance. The device's operating status is displayed via a tri-color indicator light 7, allowing monitoring personnel to easily understand the equipment's operation. During monitoring, the heat sink 6 continuously operates to dissipate heat generated during operation, ensuring stable device operation.
