[0002] Foundation settlement monitoring is a crucial aspect of building engineering, enabling the timely detection of foundation instability and ensuring the safe use of buildings. With accelerating urbanization and the proliferation of high-rise buildings, the accuracy and reliability of foundation settlement monitoring are of paramount importance to protecting people's lives and property. Currently, laser measurement technology, due to its high precision, rapid response, and non-contact measurement capabilities, is widely used in foundation settlement detection devices. However, existing laser detection devices have a drawback in practical applications: the laser transmitter and receiver are typically directly exposed to the external environment. This design makes the optical surfaces of the laser transmitter and receiver susceptible to interference from dust, rain, debris, and ambient light. Obstacles such as dust and debris can cause attenuation, scattering, or complete blockage of the laser signal, leading to increased measurement errors. These problems are particularly pronounced under adverse weather conditions, such as sandstorms, heavy rain, or strong sunlight, severely impacting the accuracy and reliability of foundation settlement monitoring. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0018] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the foundation settlement detection device of this embodiment includes a fixed frame 1, a support frame 2, an upper cylinder 3, a lower cylinder 4, a laser emitter 5, and a laser receiver 6. The bottom end of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly installed in a stable reference area, while the bottom end of the support frame 2 is fixed to the foundation area to be monitored. The upper cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 1, and the lower cylinder 4 is movably sleeved on the outside of the support frame 2 and can slide along the axial direction of the support frame 2. The mating ends of the upper cylinder 3 and the lower cylinder 4 are respectively provided with light-transmitting openings, forming a light-shielding measurement channel after mating. The upper cylinder 3 and the lower cylinder 4 can be connected by threads for easy assembly and disassembly. The laser emitter 5 is fixed inside the upper cylinder 3 and emits laser light vertically downwards; the laser receiver 6 is fixed inside the lower cylinder 4, and its horizontally upward-facing receiving surface is used to capture the laser signal, reflecting the amount of foundation settlement through changes in the optical path.

[0019] Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 includes a base 7, a column 8, and a connecting arm 10. The column 8 is vertically fixed to the upper end of the base 7. One end of the connecting arm 10 is connected to the top of the column 8 via a rotary joint, and the other end is fixed to the upper cylinder 3. To improve stability, an inclined support assembly is provided between the column 8 and the connecting arm 10, including an inclined rod 11, a sliding shaft 16, and an elastic lock 15. The upper end of the inclined rod 11 is hinged to the middle of the connecting arm 10, and the lower end slides with the sliding groove 14 of the column 8 via the sliding shaft 16. When the sliding shaft 16 slides to the top of the groove 14, the elastic lock 15 automatically locks the inclined rod 11, forming a stable triangular support. Generally, the middle part of the elastic lock 15 is connected to the side wall of the column 8 via a rotating shaft. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the torsion spring acts on the elastic lock 15 to give it an elastic restoring force.

[0020] In addition, a horizontal slot 18 is provided on the side of the base 7. When the connecting arm 10 is rotated to coincide with the column 8, one end of the upper cylinder 3 can be placed in the slot 18. The pin 17 can be inserted through the two side holes 19 to fix it, which is convenient for transportation. The column 8 is also equipped with a display screen 9 to display the settlement data transmitted by the laser receiver 6 in real time. The support frame 2 includes a connecting seat 12 and a telescopic rod 13. The laser receiver 6 is installed at the top of the telescopic rod 13, and the height can be adjusted to adapt to the measurement of foundation areas at different heights.

[0021] In use, first fix the fixed frame 1 and the support frame 2 in the reference area and the area to be measured, respectively, unfold the connecting arm 10 and lock the oblique support assembly. After starting the laser transmitter 5, if the foundation settles, it will cause the support frame 2 to move downward, increasing the distance between the laser transmitter 5 and the laser receiver 6, and increasing the time to receive the laser signal. After signal processing, the settlement amount can be read through the display screen 9. This process is beneficial to reducing environmental interference due to the light-shielding channel formed by the upper cylinder 3 and the lower cylinder 4. After the measurement is completed, the connecting arm 10 can be retracted to the slot 18, and the pin 17 can be inserted for easy handling.

[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
