Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building inspection technology, specifically to a mortar rebound hammer for building inspection. Background Technology

[0002] In building construction quality inspection, mortar strength is one of the important indicators for evaluating the mechanical properties and durability of masonry structures. Traditional mortar strength testing methods mainly include destructive testing methods such as core sampling and push-out methods. Although these methods can obtain relatively accurate strength values, they have disadvantages such as complex operation, low testing efficiency, and large construction interference. Furthermore, the testing process can damage the tested components, affecting their structural integrity and subsequent functionality.

[0003] With the continuous development of non-destructive testing technology, the rebound method has been gradually applied to the rapid assessment of mortar strength in building engineering due to its advantages such as fast testing speed, simple operation, and no structural damage. This method typically uses a spring impact hammer in a rebound hammer to strike the mortar surface, obtains the rebound value, and estimates its mechanical properties by combining the empirical relationship between the rebound value and the compressive strength of the mortar.

[0004] However, existing handheld mortar rebound hammers struggle to ensure the impact direction is perpendicular to the surface being tested when inspecting building facades, ceilings, or non-horizontal structures. This can lead to significant deviations in rebound values, affecting the accuracy and repeatability of test results. Furthermore, the instruments exhibit poor stability during field use, frequently slipping or tilting, impacting operational reliability and reducing overall testing efficiency and ease of use.

[0005] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, to ensure that the impact direction is not affected by external interference and to improve the stability and reliability of the detection data, the auxiliary component includes a telescopic member set on one side of the connecting seat. An auxiliary plate is set on one side of the telescopic member, and the auxiliary plate is connected to the connecting seat by two sets of telescopic springs.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a mortar rebound hammer for building inspection is provided.

[0030] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-8 As shown, the mortar rebound hammer for building inspection according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a rebound shell 1; a rebound component 2 disposed inside the rebound shell 1 for rebound testing of the building surface; an adjustment component 3 disposed at the bottom of the outer circumference of the rebound shell 1 for adjusting the angle between the rebound shell 1 and the building surface; and an auxiliary component 4 disposed on one side of the adjustment component 3 for assisting in fixing the rebound shell 1 to improve the stability of the testing process.

[0031] By utilizing the above-described technical solution of this utility model, the angle of the rebound shell 1 can be precisely adjusted by setting the adjustment component 3, ensuring that the impact direction of the rebound component 2 is always perpendicular to the surface of the building being tested. This reduces rebound value errors caused by angle deviations and improves the accuracy and repeatability of mortar strength measurement. The auxiliary component 4 provides support and stability to the rebound shell 1, preventing the rebound hammer from shaking, shifting, or sliding during testing, thus ensuring that the impact direction is not disturbed by external factors and improving the stability and reliability of the test data.

[0032] In one embodiment, the rebound assembly 2 includes a compression spring 201 disposed inside the rebound housing 1 on one side. A guide flange 202 is disposed on one side of the compression spring 201. A central guide rod 203 is disposed on one side of the guide flange 202. A spring hammer 204 cooperating with the rebound housing 1 is disposed on one side of the central guide rod 203. A spring rod 205 is disposed on one side of the spring hammer 204. A limit ring 206 is disposed on the outer circumference of the spring rod 205. The limit ring 206 and the spring hammer 204 are cooperating through a spring tension spring 207, thereby realizing impact detection on the surface of building mortar and improving detection efficiency.

[0033] The working principle of the rebound assembly 2 is as follows: When the operator applies pressure to the rebound hammer, the impact rod 205 moves inward, compressing the impact spring 207, which in turn drives the impact hammer 204 to move backward along the central guide rod 203. This causes the compression spring 201 to gradually store energy and compress. At the same time, under the constraint of the guide flange 202, the movement direction of the impact hammer 204 is kept stable. When the compression displacement of the compression spring 201 reaches the preset value, the energy is rapidly released, pushing the impact hammer 204 forward to strike the mortar surface, completing the impact test. After the impact test is completed, the impact hammer 204 rebounds under the action of the reaction force. The inner wall of the rebound housing 1 is provided with an acceleration... The acceleration sensor 12 (e.g., the aforementioned acceleration sensor 12 can be an ADXL345 model, LIS3DH model, etc.) is used to collect the deceleration change curve signal during the rebound process of the impact hammer 204 in real time, and transmit the deceleration change curve signal to the control panel 6. The control panel 6 calculates the rebound distance of the impact hammer by integrating the deceleration curve, and calculates the rebound value accordingly, which is finally displayed on the display screen 9. After the test is completed, the impact hammer 204 and related components automatically reset under the combined action of the impact spring 207 and the compression spring 201, preparing for the next test.

[0034] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 3 includes an adjustment seat 301 disposed at the bottom of the outer side of the rebound housing 1. A connecting seat 302 is disposed at the bottom of the adjustment seat 301, and the connecting seat 302 and the adjustment seat 301 are engaged by a rotating shaft 303. A drive motor 304 connected to the rotating shaft 303 is disposed at one end of the connecting seat 302, and an angle sensor 5 is disposed on one side of the adjustment seat 301. A control panel 6 is disposed on the side of the connecting seat 302 near the drive motor 304, thereby reducing the rebound value error caused by angle deviation and improving the accuracy and repeatability of mortar strength measurement.

[0035] The working principle of the adjustment component 3 is as follows: Based on the adhesion between the auxiliary plate 402 and the mortar surface, the angle sensor 5 (for example, the angle sensor 5 can be a Bourns model, Honeywell model, etc.) monitors the angle between the rebound shell 1 and the mortar surface in real time, and sends the monitoring data to the control panel 6. After receiving the monitoring data, the control panel 6 immediately starts the drive motor 304, which drives the adjustment seat 301 to rotate through the rotating shaft 303, thereby adjusting the angle of the rebound shell 1 until the impact direction is perpendicular to the mortar surface. At this time, the control panel 6 issues a command to stop the drive motor 304.

[0036] In one embodiment, the auxiliary component 4 includes a telescopic member 401 disposed on one side of the connecting seat 302. An auxiliary plate 402 is disposed on one side of the telescopic member 401, and the auxiliary plate 402 is connected to the connecting seat 302 by two sets of telescopic springs 403. The telescopic member 401 includes several auxiliary frames 4011 disposed on one side of the connecting seat 302. A fixing rod 4012 is disposed inside the auxiliary frame 4011, and two sets of first connecting rods are disposed at the top of the outer circumference of the fixing rod 4012. The rod 4013 has a bottom end that engages with the top end of another set of first connecting rods 4013. Two sets of second connecting rods 4014 are provided on the bottom outer circumference of the fixed rod 4012, with the bottom end of one set engaging with the top end of the other set. The second connecting rods 4014 and the first connecting rods 4013 are connected by a connecting shaft 4015, thereby ensuring that the impact direction is not disturbed by external factors and improving the stability and reliability of the detection data.

[0037] In one embodiment, for the auxiliary plate 402, a plurality of anti-slip strips 7 are provided on the side of the auxiliary plate 402 away from the telescopic member 401, and the anti-slip strips 7 are in a wave-like structure, thereby forming lateral resistance and preventing slippage during the detection process.

[0038] The working principle of auxiliary component 4 is as follows: When pressure is applied, the rebound component 2 impacts the mortar surface. At the same time, the auxiliary plate 402 is compressed and extends inward, causing the first connecting rod 4013 and the second connecting rod 4014 to rotate around the connecting shaft 4015, compressing the telescopic component 401. Meanwhile, the telescopic spring 403 stores energy. When the external force is removed, under the reset action of the telescopic spring 403, the first connecting rod 4013 and the second connecting rod 4014 return to their initial positions, causing the auxiliary plate 402 to extend outward, thus achieving automatic reset. In addition, the anti-slip strip 7 with a wave-shaped structure can form lateral resistance to prevent slippage during the detection process.

[0039] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned rebound housing 1, a fixing groove 8 is provided at the top edge of the outer circumference of the rebound housing 1. A display screen 9 is provided on one side of the inner bottom end of the fixing groove 8, and a protective shell 10 that cooperates with the display screen 9 is provided on the other side of the inner bottom end of the fixing groove 8. A plug-in 11 that cooperates with the fixing groove 8 is provided on one side of the protective shell 10. The plug-in 11 includes a groove 1101 provided on one side of the protective shell 10. A limit spring 1102 is provided on one side of the inner edge of the groove 1101, and a moving rod 1103 is provided on one side of the limit spring 1102. A sliding groove 1104 that cooperates with the moving rod 1103 is provided at the top edge of the groove 1101. The plug-in 11 also includes a limiting groove 1105 that cooperates with the moving rod 1103 on one side of the inner wall of the groove 1101, thereby protecting the display screen 9 and preventing damage caused by wear or external factors during long-term use, ensuring the accuracy of the readings and the service life of the rebound device.

[0040] It should be further explained that when it is necessary to read the test data, the operator pushes the moving rod 1103 to compress the limiting spring 1102, causing it to disengage from the engagement position of the limiting groove 1105, thereby releasing the limitation on the protective shell 10 and enabling the protective shell 10 to rotate so as to read the data on the display screen 9; after the reading is completed, the moving rod 1103 is pushed again to compress the limiting spring 1102, causing the moving rod 1103 to re-engage into the limiting groove 1105, and under the elastic restoring force of the limiting spring 1102, the protective shell 10 is fixed to the rebound shell 1, thereby protecting the display screen 9.

[0041] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0042] In practical applications, the rebound hammer is first moved to the mortar surface of the building to be tested, ensuring that the auxiliary plate 402 is in contact with the mortar surface and that the rebound hammer remains horizontal. Then, the adjustment component 3 is activated via the human-machine interface (HMI) of the control panel 6 to adjust the angle of the rebound hammer housing 1 (the working principle of the adjustment component 3 is as described above), making the impact direction of the rebound hammer perpendicular to the mortar surface. Finally, pressure is applied to the rebound hammer, and impact testing is performed through the rebound component 2 (the working principle of the rebound component 2 is as described above). During this process, the auxiliary component 4 works in conjunction (the working principle of the auxiliary component 4 is as described above), improving the stability, accuracy, and applicability of the testing process. Furthermore, the protective shell 10 is fitted to the rebound hammer housing 1 via the plug 11, providing protection for the display screen 9 when not in use, preventing damage caused by wear or external factors during long-term use, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the readings and extending the service life of the rebound hammer.

[0043] In summary, by utilizing the above-described technical solution of this utility model, the angle of the rebound shell 1 can be precisely adjusted by setting the adjustment component 3, ensuring that the impact direction of the rebound component 2 is always perpendicular to the surface of the building being tested. This reduces rebound value errors caused by angle deviations and improves the accuracy and repeatability of mortar strength measurement. By setting the auxiliary component 4, the rebound shell 1 can be supported and stabilized, preventing the rebound hammer from shaking, shifting, or sliding during testing, thus ensuring that the impact direction is not disturbed by external factors and improving the stability and reliability of the test data.
