Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete testing technology, and more specifically, to a concrete crack detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete is one of the most important building materials used in construction projects, and its quality directly affects the safety of the entire building structure. Strengthening the monitoring and testing of concrete quality and ensuring and improving concrete quality are important issues in construction projects today.
[0003] A concrete crack detection device disclosed in Publication No. CN215524511U describes a device that includes a mobile platform for fixing a camera and a host unit adapted to the camera. The host unit is independently set up and connected to the camera for data transmission. The mobile platform is equipped with a rolling component that facilitates movement on the surface of the concrete structure. By fixing the camera to the mobile platform, the mobile platform moves smoothly on the outer surface of the concrete structure via the rolling component. The mobile platform maintains contact with the surface of the concrete structure during movement. When it is necessary to measure the crack width, the mobile platform can be directly moved to the crack to be measured, which greatly increases the convenience of measuring crack width, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and helps to improve the efficiency of concrete detection.
[0004] However, the aforementioned concrete crack detection device has the following drawbacks:
[0005] 1. Although the detection device in this patent can improve the efficiency of concrete detection, the surface of concrete structures is not flat and clean during use. It is usually covered with dust and impurities. These dust and impurities can not only easily contaminate the camera, but also adhere to the surface of the gaps, which can affect the image quality and have an adverse effect on the user's observation of the gaps.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a concrete crack detection device. Utility Model Content

At the bottom end, the upper end of the suction head 71 is connected to the suction pipe 72, and the other end of the suction pipe 72 is connected to the vacuum cleaner body 73. The vacuum cleaner body 73 is installed on the upper end of the transport platform 1. A cleaning component 8 is installed on the right side of the suction component 7. The cleaning component 8 includes a bracket 9, which is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the transport platform 1. A first lifting rod 10 passes through the middle of the bracket 9. An equipment box 11 is installed at the bottom end of the first lifting rod 10. A rotating motor 12 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the equipment box 11. The output end of the rotating motor 12 is connected to a cleaning brush 13 through a reduction gearbox. The camera assembly 6, vacuum assembly 7, and sweeping assembly 8 work together. During use, the rotating motor 12 drives the sweeping brush 13 to rotate via the reduction gearbox. Then, the first lifting rod 10 operates, driving the sweeping brush 13 downward to a predetermined position via the equipment box 11 to perform the sweeping operation. During this process, the vacuum cleaner body 73 operates, using the vacuum pipe 72 and vacuum head 71 to suck up the dust generated during sweeping. After sweeping is completed, the symmetrically installed telescopic rods 643 operate simultaneously, driving the corresponding sealing plates 642 away from the bottom of the box 61. Then, the second lifting rod 62 operates, driving the camera 63 downward to a predetermined position to take a picture.

A second lifting rod 62 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top wall of the inner cavity of the housing 61. A camera 63 is installed at the bottom of the second lifting rod 62. A sealing device 64 is installed at the bottom of the housing 61. The sealing device 64 includes a slide 641, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the housing 61.

The other end of the telescopic rod 643 is fixedly installed on the side wall of a support 644, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the transport platform 1. After cleaning is completed, the symmetrically arranged telescopic rods 643 work synchronously through the synchronizer, respectively driving the sealing plate 642 away from the bottom of the box 61. After reaching the predetermined position, the second lifting rod 62 works, driving the camera 63 to move downward to the predetermined position. Then the camera 63 can take pictures and transmit the pictures to the controller 4 which is electrically connected to it. Subsequently, the controller 4 transmits the pictures to the handheld terminal 14 through the built-in signal module.
[0032] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the moving component 2 includes a mounting frame 21, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom left end of the transport platform 1. Two rotating shafts 22 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the mounting frame 21. A drive wheel 23 is mounted on one end of each rotating shaft 22, and the other ends of both rotating shafts 22 are connected to a drive assembly 24. A drive motor 25 is connected to the input end of the drive assembly 24. The drive assembly 24 is located at the bottom center of the mounting frame 21. The drive wheel 23 cooperates with a driven wheel device 26 at the bottom right end of the transport platform 1. During operation, the drive motor 25 operates, driving the rotating shafts 22 at both ends through the drive assembly 24. This, in turn, drives the drive wheel 23 at the other end of the rotating shaft 22. The drive wheel 23 then cooperates with the driven wheel device 26, facilitating the movement of the transport platform 1.
[0033] Workflow: In use, the controller 4 first starts the drive motor 25, which in turn drives the rotating shafts 22 at both ends via the drive assembly 24. This drives the drive wheel 23 at the other end of the rotating shaft 22. The drive wheel 23 then works in conjunction with the driven wheel device 26. The handle 3 moves the transport platform 1 to the predetermined position. The handheld terminal 14 then starts the rotating motor 12, which drives the cleaning brush 13 to rotate via the reduction gearbox. Subsequently, the first lifting rod 10 operates, driving the cleaning brush 13 downward to the predetermined position via the equipment box 11 to perform the cleaning operation. During this process, the vacuum cleaner body 73 operates, using the suction pipe 72 and the suction head 71 to clean the vacuum cleaner. Dust generated during sweeping is sucked away. After sweeping is completed, the symmetrically installed telescopic rods 643 work simultaneously, driving the corresponding sealing plates 642 away from the bottom of the housing 61. Then, the second lifting rod 62 works, driving the camera 63 downward to the predetermined position for taking pictures. After completion, the photos are transmitted to the handheld terminal 14 via the signal module built into the controller 4, which is electrically connected to it. At the same time, the second lifting rod 62 works again, driving the camera 63 back into the housing 61. Then, the symmetrically arranged telescopic rods 643 work again, driving the sealing plates 642 to move towards the bottom of the housing 61, closing it, and then the next inspection can be carried out.
