Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a bridge bearing testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Bridge bearings are critical load-bearing components of bridge structures, and their damage can lead to safety hazards. Traditional inspection methods use bearing inspection instruments with telescopic rods and cameras. However, gaps may exist on bridge bearings, requiring the inspection instrument to be inserted into these gaps for testing. Existing bearing inspection instruments can only adjust the length, but angle adjustment is difficult and cannot adapt to different gap inclination angles, thus making it difficult to penetrate deep into the gaps. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model discloses a bridge bearing detection device. By setting a universal flexible rod at the end of the telescopic rod, it is easy to adjust the angle of the camera and adapt to different gap depths and tilt angles at the bearing during detection.
[0004] This utility model discloses a bridge bearing detection device, comprising: an adjustable telescopic rod; a universal flexible rod fixed to the end of the telescopic rod; a camera fixed to the universal flexible rod; and a display electrically connected to the camera.
[0005] A further improvement of this invention is that the camera is an endoscope with adaptive lighting function.
[0006] A further improvement of this invention is that the telescopic rod is made of carbon fiber.
[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the universal flexible rod is a metal flexible rod.
[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that the interior of the universal flexible rod is hollow, the camera is disposed inside the universal flexible rod, and an opening is provided on the side wall of the universal flexible rod for the camera to capture the outside. The lens of the camera passes through the opening and is fixed to the side wall of the opening.
[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that a threaded rod is fixed at one end of the universal flexible rod that is connected to the telescopic rod, and a threaded hole adapted to the threaded rod is opened at the corresponding end of the telescopic rod, and the threaded rod is screwed into the threaded hole.
[0010] This invention features a universal flexible rod at the end of the telescopic rod, which facilitates the adjustment of the camera angle. This makes it easier to adapt to different gap depths and tilt angles at the support during inspection. Furthermore, by using an endoscope with supplementary lighting as the camera, clear imaging can be achieved even in dim environments. Attached Figure Description
[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;
[0012] In the diagram: 1. Telescopic pole; 2. Universal flexible pole; 3. Connector; 4. Camera; 5. Monitor. Detailed Implementation
[0013] This utility model relates to a bridge bearing testing device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a telescopic rod 1 with adjustable length; a universal flexible rod 2 fixed to the end of the telescopic rod 1; a camera fixed to the universal flexible rod 2; and a display 5 electrically connected to the camera 4. By setting the universal flexible rod 2, the angle of the camera 4 can be easily adjusted, and by setting the display 5, the image captured by the camera 4 can be directly observed.
[0014] In this embodiment, the interior of the universal flexible rod 2 is hollow, and the camera 4 is installed inside the universal flexible rod 2. An opening is provided on one side of the universal flexible rod 2, through which the lens of the camera 4 protrudes and is fixed to the opening for taking pictures. By placing the camera 4 inside the universal flexible rod 2, the camera 4 is further protected to prevent it from being damaged by collision with the bridge support during the inspection process. Sufficient space is left between the camera 4 and the end of the telescopic rod 1 to allow the universal flexible rod 2 to bend. In use, while adjusting the angle of the universal flexible rod 2, the camera 4 will also be driven to adjust its angle to achieve the adjustment of the camera 4's angle.
[0015] Preferably, in another embodiment, the interior of the universal flexible rod 2 is hollow, and the camera 4 is located inside the universal flexible rod 2. An opening is provided on one side of the universal flexible rod 2 for the lens of the camera 4 to capture images of the outside. The lens of the camera 4 does not protrude through the opening. The camera 4 is also connected to the telescopic rod 1 by a second flexible rod. The length and diameter of the second flexible rod are smaller than those of the universal flexible rod 2. By setting the second flexible rod, the camera 4 located inside the universal flexible rod 2 is further supported. At the same time, when the angle of the universal flexible rod 2 is adjusted, the angle of the second flexible rod is also adjusted synchronously, so as to realize the adjustment of the angle of the camera 4.
[0016] In another embodiment, the camera 4 can also be directly fixed to the end of the universal flexible rod 2.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the end of the telescopic rod 1 is also provided with a connector 3. The connector 3 is connected between the telescopic rod 1 and the universal flexible rod 2. In one embodiment, the connector 3 can be a threaded rod. One end of the threaded rod is fixed to the bottom of the universal flexible rod 2. At this time, the top of the telescopic rod 1 is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection of the threaded rod. Through the connection method of the threaded rod and the threaded hole, the universal flexible rod 2 can be disassembled and is easy to replace.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, camera 4 is an endoscope with adaptive lighting function. By using an endoscope with adaptive lighting function, it is possible to provide supplementary lighting in relatively dim environments, such as the gaps in bridge supports, to ensure clear imaging.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the display 5 is mounted on the telescopic rod 1, so that the real-time image on the display 5 can be directly observed when operating the bridge support detection device.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the telescopic rod 1 is made of carbon fiber, which is lightweight while ensuring strength, making it easy to operate.
[0021] In this embodiment, the universal flexible rod 2 is a metal flexible rod.
[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
