Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted falling weight deflectometers, specifically a vehicle-mounted falling weight deflectometer. Background Technology

[0002] A vehicle-mounted falling weight deflectometer is a testing device used to measure the deflection of road surfaces or base courses. It is widely used in quality inspection for road construction and maintenance. This instrument simulates traffic loads by applying a certain impact force to the road surface and measuring the deformation (deflection) caused by the force. The vehicle-mounted design allows for easy installation on vehicles for mobile testing, improving work efficiency and convenience. Analysis of the deflection values ​​can assess the road surface's load-bearing capacity, density, and stability, providing data support for road maintenance and reinforcement.

[0003] The existing utility model with authorization announcement number CN209387431U discloses a vehicle-mounted falling weight deflectometer, including a portal-shaped vertical frame, a weight, and a support plate. The portal-shaped vertical frame has a guide rail at its lower end and a lifting plate cylinder fixed at its upper end. The upper end of the support plate is fixed to the bottom of the horizontal plate of an H-shaped connecting plate. Guide slides are fixed to the outer sides of the two vertical plates of the connecting plate, and the tops of the two vertical plates are connected to the movable end of the lifting plate cylinder. The guide slides can slide up and down along the guide rail. A locking cylinder is located at the middle height of the outer side of the vertical frame, with its lower end fixed to a locking plate. The locking plate and the vertical frame are rotatably connected. A lifting hammer cylinder with the weight attached is fixed to the upper surface of the horizontal plate of the connecting plate, and the weight can slide up and down along the outer surface of the lifting hammer cylinder. This utility model uses an automatic locking cylinder and a guide rail on the frame, integrating the locking function of the equipment into the frame.

[0004] Although the present invention has the advantages of high speed, low energy consumption, large lifting force, long service life, and stable performance, the above technical solution has the following disadvantages in use: First, the weight of the falling hammer is always a fixed value and cannot be adjusted according to the experimental site and materials. At the same time, the extension and retraction height of the device cannot be precisely controlled during use. Second, after the hammer falls and interacts with the material, impurities may adhere to the surface of the hammer. The current device cannot detect whether there are impurities on the surface of the hammer. If the impurities are not cleaned, it will easily affect the accuracy of the data in the next experiment, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the device.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A fixing ring 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drop hammer body 204. The top of the fixing ring 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mobile storage platform 201. The fixing ring 3 can be used to reinforce the connection between the drop hammer body 204 and the mobile storage platform 201, so as to avoid the problem of breakage between the mobile storage platform 201 and the drop hammer body 204, which would affect the use effect of the device.

[0027] A fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the controller body 203. The right side of the fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support frame 1. The fixing frame 4 can fix the controller body 203 and prevent the controller body 203 from shaking during use.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, first connect the controller body 203, vacuum negative pressure pump 206, drive motor 207, and infrared ranging sensor 212 to the power supply. When using this device, the operator can add appropriate counterweights to the storage port in the mobile storage platform 201 according to the experimental site materials and seal it. Then, according to the experimental requirements, the operator uses the controller body 203 to control the hydraulic cylinder 202 to extend or retract to an appropriate length. Next, the controller body 203 controls the hydraulic cylinder 202 to extend, causing the mobile storage platform 201, the drop hammer body 204, and the counterweights inside the mobile storage platform 201 to move downwards along the inside of the support frame 1. The bottom of the drop hammer body 204 then moves the material downwards. Under heavy pressure, after the experiment is completed, the staff uses the controller body 203 to control the hydraulic cylinder 202 to retract. The retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 202 causes the movable storage platform 201 to slide upward along the inside of the support frame 1. During the upward sliding of the movable storage platform 201 along the inside of the support frame 1, it causes the drop hammer body 204 to reach the outer surface of the gear disk 205. Then, the controller body 203 controls the hydraulic cylinder 202 to stop moving. After that, the controller body 203 controls the drive motor 207 to work. The drive motor 207 drives the gear 208 to rotate under the support of one of the connecting plates 210. The rotation of the gear 208 in turn drives the gear disk 205 to rotate. The rotation of the gear disk 205 in turn drives the arc block 211 and the infrared ranging sensor. 212 revolves around the center of the gear disk 205. The infrared emitter inside the infrared ranging sensor 212 continuously reflects infrared signals towards the outer surface of the drop hammer body 204. These infrared signals are reflected upon the surface of the drop hammer body 204 and received by the receiver inside the infrared ranging sensor 212. This allows for precise measurement of the distance between the surface of the drop hammer body 204 and the infrared ranging sensor 212. This measured distance is compared with the distance between the drop hammer body 204 and the infrared ranging sensor 212 during operation. If the distance is lower than the original data, it indicates that there are impurities on the surface of the drop hammer body 204, requiring cleaning. Simultaneously, a warning light inside the controller body 203 issues a warning. The controller body 203 controls the hydraulic cylinder 202 to operate. The hydraulic cylinder 202 drives the movable storage platform 201 to move upward along the interior of the support frame 1. When the drop hammer body 204 moves to the vacuum negative pressure pump 206, the controller body 203 controls the vacuum negative pressure pump 206 to operate. By creating an environment with a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, impurities in the air are drawn into the pump with the airflow. Under this negative pressure, particulate matter, liquid, or gaseous impurities in the gas are guided to the pump's filtration system or sedimentation device for separation, thereby achieving the purpose of removing impurities. Through continuous negative pressure suction, the vacuum pump can effectively remove contaminants, maintain the cleanliness and efficient operation of the system, and thus clean impurities from the surface of the drop hammer body 204.This will facilitate the device's continued use in the future, thereby improving the accuracy of data measurements.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
