[0004] Most existing slope monitoring devices only have the function of monitoring the width of cracks and cannot automatically issue warnings when cracks reach a certain value, which leads to untimely detection by staff and accidents. In view of this, a slope crack monitoring device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a slope crack monitoring device to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art, which is that most existing slope monitoring devices only have the function of monitoring the width of cracks and cannot automatically issue warnings when cracks reach a certain value, thus leading to untimely detection by staff and accidents.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a slope crack monitoring device, comprising:

[0007] The uprights are arranged in two sets at intervals, and each set of uprights has a fixed cone on one side.

[0008] An installation plate is disposed on one of the sets of uprights, and the installation plate is connected to the other set of uprights via an indicator component, which indicates the change in distance between the two sets of uprights.

[0009] A buzzer is mounted on the mounting plate. The two electrodes of the buzzer are electrically connected to an L-shaped frame and an elastic element, respectively. A battery is disposed at the end of the elastic element, and the battery is arranged opposite to the inner side of the L-shaped frame.

[0010] A partition plate, which is slidably and fixably mounted on another set of the uprights and located between the battery and the L-shaped frame, is made of insulating material.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the indicating component includes:

[0012] A slide groove is formed on the mounting plate, and a first scale line is provided on one side of the slide groove; and

[0013] The pointer is connected to one of the sets of uprights via a connecting frame and is slidably engaged within the slide groove.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting frame is provided with a mounting frame, the partition plate is slidably disposed within the mounting frame, and a set screw is screwed onto the connecting frame, the set screw passing through the mounting frame and abutting against the partition plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the partition plate is provided with a second scale line, and the end of the partition plate is provided with a lever.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a shielding frame is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate, and the battery is located within the shielding frame.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, one set of the upright plates is provided with a positioning sleeve on one side, and the other set of the upright plates is provided with a positioning post on one side. The positioning post is slidably inserted into the positioning sleeve, and a threaded knob is screwed onto the positioning sleeve. The end of the threaded knob is inserted into the positioning post.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning frame is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate, and the battery is slidably disposed within the positioning frame.

During monitoring, a partition plate can be slid across one set of uprights and its position fixed to adjust the distance between the partition plate's end and the battery. As the uprights move, the partition plate moves between the battery and the L-shaped frame. When the distance traveled by the two sets of uprights reaches a certain value, the partition plate disengages from the battery and the L-shaped frame, causing the battery to contact the L-shaped frame. This connects the power supply circuit to the buzzer, triggering an alarm and facilitating timely protective measures by workers, effectively reducing the probability of accidents.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, this utility model provides a slope crack monitoring device, including two sets of spaced vertical plates 1. Each set of vertical plates 1 has a fixed cone 2 on one side. One set of vertical plates 1 is provided with an installation plate 6. The installation plate 6 is connected to the other set of vertical plates 1 through an indicator component. The indicator component indicates the distance change between the two sets of vertical plates 1. The indicator component includes a groove 7 opened on the installation plate 6. A first scale line 8 is provided on one side of the groove 7. One set of vertical plates 1 is connected to a pointer 10 through a connecting frame 9. The pointer 10 is slidably locked in the groove 7.

[0031] In use, the device fixes two sets of cones 2 on both sides of the slope crack. When the width of the slope crack changes, the distance between the two sets of upright plates 1 changes, causing the pointer 10 to slide within the groove 7. The degree of change in the crack can be determined through the first scale line 8, thus effectively monitoring the slope crack. A positioning sleeve 3 is provided on one side of one set of upright plates 1, and a positioning post 4 is provided on one side of the other set of upright plates 1. The positioning post 4 slides through the positioning sleeve 3, and a threaded knob 5 is screwed onto the positioning sleeve 3. The end of the threaded knob 5 passes through the positioning post 4. The movement of the two sets of upright plates 1 is positioned by the cooperation of the positioning post 4 and the positioning sleeve 3. During installation, the distance between the two sets of upright plates 1 is fixed by the threaded knob 5 to prevent displacement of the two sets of upright plates 1 during installation, which would lead to inaccurate monitoring data. After installation, rotating the threaded knob 5 to disengage it from the positioning post 4 releases the fixation of the two sets of upright plates 1.

[0032] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a buzzer 11 is provided on the mounting plate 6. The two electrodes of the buzzer 11 are electrically connected to an L-shaped frame 13 and an elastic element 14, respectively. A battery 15 is provided at the end of the elastic element 14. The battery 15 is arranged opposite to the inner side of the L-shaped frame 13. A partition plate 18 is slidably and fixably provided on a set of upright plates 1. The partition plate 18 is located between the battery 15 and the L-shaped frame 13 and is made of insulating material. A mounting frame 17 is provided on the connecting frame 9. The partition plate 18 is slidably disposed in the mounting frame 17. A set screw 20 is screwed onto the connecting frame 9. The set screw 20 passes through the mounting frame 17 and abuts against the partition plate 18.

[0033] The position of the partition plate 18 can be released by loosening the set screw 20. Then, based on the danger level of the crack, the partition plate 18 can be slid within the mounting frame 17 to adjust the distance between the end of the partition plate 18 and the battery 15. Finally, the set screw 20 is tightened to fix the position of the partition plate 18. When the crack reaches the danger level, the partition plate 18 slides away from the battery 15 and the L-shaped frame 13. The battery 15, under the action of the elastic element 14, abuts against the L-shaped frame 13, connecting the power supply circuit of the buzzer 11, which then sounds an alarm to facilitate timely protective construction by personnel. Furthermore, a second scale line 19 is provided on the partition plate 18, and a lever is provided at the end of the partition plate 18, making position adjustment of the partition plate 18 more convenient.

[0034] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, in this embodiment, a shielding frame 16 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 6, and the battery 15 is located inside the shielding frame 16. The shielding frame 16 protects the battery 15 from moisture and corrosion. A positioning frame 12 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 6, and the battery 15 is slidably disposed inside the positioning frame 12. The positioning frame 12 positions the battery 15 to prevent it from shifting.

[0035] The specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0036] When in use, the device inserts its two fixed cones 2 into both sides of a slope crack. As the crack widens, the distance between the two sets of fixed cones 2 changes, which is indicated by the indicator component to monitor the distance between the two sets of upright plates 1, thus achieving the purpose of monitoring slope cracks. During monitoring, the distance between the end of the partition plate 18 and the battery 15 can be adjusted by sliding the partition plate 18 onto one set of upright plates 1 and fixing its position. As the upright plate 1 moves, it causes the partition plate 18 to move between the battery 15 and the L-shaped frame 13. When the distance between the two sets of upright plates 1 reaches a certain value, the partition plate 18 disengages from the battery 15 and the L-shaped frame 13, causing the battery 15 to come into contact with the L-shaped frame 13. This connects the power supply circuit to the buzzer 11, causing the buzzer 11 to sound an alarm, facilitating timely protective construction work by personnel and effectively reducing the probability of accidents.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to this utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
