Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge inspection equipment technology, and more specifically to an automatic detection alarm controller for the verticality of bridge piers. Background Technology
[0002] The verticality of bridge piers is crucial for ensuring uniform stress distribution and is a key aspect of construction control. Failure to meet verticality requirements can lead to the following problems: ① Reduced load-bearing capacity of the piers; ② Uneven stress distribution on the pier cross-section under eccentric compression. The side with less stress will gradually develop tensile stress over time, leading to cracks, subsequent concrete carbonization and spalling, and ultimately affecting durability. Currently, the method for detecting the verticality of pier formwork is as follows: Place a steel bar or other object of a certain length (the end of which must extend beyond the outer edge of the formwork) as a crossbeam on the top of the pier formwork. Suspend a plumb line at its end (measure the distance from the top plumb line to the edge of the pier formwork) and let it hang down close to the bottom of the pier formwork. The operator uses a ruler to measure the distance from this plumb line to the outer edge of the pier formwork. If this distance is within the allowable deviation of the distance measured above, it means that the verticality of the pier formwork is also within the allowable deviation. Otherwise, it means that the verticality deviation of the pier formwork has exceeded the allowable deviation, and the pier formwork is tilted. The above-mentioned detection method requires personnel to be stationed at at least two locations: personnel to hang lines and measure distances at the top of the pier formwork and personnel to measure distances at the bottom of the pier formwork. This requires a large workforce, is prone to human error, and cannot provide real-time detection and early warning, causing great inconvenience. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic detection alarm controller for the verticality of bridge piers, so as to solve the problems existing in the background art.
[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic detection and alarm controller for the verticality of bridge piers, including a tilt detection box. A fixing component is fixedly connected to one side of the tilt detection box. A bridge pier body is fixedly sleeved inside the fixing component. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tilt detection box. An early warning feedback box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe. Another fixing component is fixedly connected to the side of the early warning feedback box near the tilt detection box. The tilt detection box and the early warning feedback box are respectively fixedly connected to the top and bottom of one side of the surface of the bridge pier body. Both the tilt detection box and the early warning feedback box are made of thermal insulation material. The tilt detection box contains antifreeze liquid. Through the tilt detection box, fixing component, connecting pipe, and early warning feedback box, it is beneficial to fix the tilt detection box and the early warning feedback box through the fixing component when detecting the bridge pier body. This allows the tilt detection box and the early warning feedback box to complete the data detection without manual assistance when performing verticality detection through the connecting pipe. The operation is simple and convenient, and the verticality data is accurately obtained through the liquid amplitude inside the tilt detection box. Furthermore, the fixing component indicates that there are mating joints on both sides, and there are mating screw holes inside the mating joints. Fixing screws are movably sleeved inside the mating screw holes, and fixing nuts are movably sleeved on both sides of the surface of the fixing screws. The fixing component helps to fix the tilt detection box and the early warning feedback box to the surface of the bridge pier, reducing the number of manual fixing steps and reducing the labor intensity of the workers.
[0005] Furthermore, a cylindrical storage cavity is provided inside the tilt detection box. Side leakage slots are provided around the inner wall of the cylindrical storage cavity and near the top. Guide channels are provided around the cylindrical storage cavity inside the tilt detection box. The guide channels are connected to the cylindrical storage cavity through the side leakage slots. The antifreeze liquid stored inside the cylindrical storage cavity is lower than the side leakage slots. When the bridge pier is tilted, the liquid is tilted to one side due to gravity, so that the tilted liquid enters the guide channels and flows into the connecting pipe before entering the early warning feedback box to complete the detection.
[0006] Furthermore, a converging cavity is provided at the bottom of the tilt detection box. The top of the converging cavity is connected to the bottom of the guide channel on all four sides. A pipe fixing hole is provided at the bottom of the converging cavity where a connecting pipe is fixedly connected.

A flow guiding cavity is provided around the bottom of the liquid inlet cavity, and the flow guiding cavity is inclined inward at a 45-degree angle. A circular inner cavity is provided inside the early warning feedback box at the position adjacent to the bottom of the flow guiding cavity. Through the liquid inlet cavity and the flow guiding cavity inside the early warning feedback box, the liquid entering the early warning feedback box finally enters the circular inner cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, a suspended inner cavity is provided at the bottom of the circular inner cavity, and a suspension plate is movably connected to the bottom of the suspended inner cavity. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the surface of the suspended inner cavity, and the suspension plate is movably sleeved inside the limiting groove. Through the suspension plate, it is beneficial to make the suspension plate rise to complete the warning operation when the liquid drives the suspension plate to rise.
[0009] Furthermore, a signal transmitting component is fixedly connected to the warning feedback box on the inner side adjacent to the flow guiding cavity. A touch switch is provided at the bottom of the signal transmitting component, and the touch switch is located at the top of the suspension cavity. Through the warning feedback box, the suspension plate, the signal transmitting component, and the touch switch, it is beneficial to inject flowing liquid into the suspension cavity to raise the suspension plate when there is a large deviation in the verticality of the bridge pier. When the suspension plate reaches the surface of the touch switch, the signal transmitting component is activated in time to provide a warning.
[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model, by providing an inclination detection box, a fixing component, a connecting pipe, and an early warning feedback box, facilitates the fixing of the inclination detection box and the early warning feedback box during the inspection of the main body of the bridge pier.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The automatic detection alarm controller for the verticality of bridge piers involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic detection alarm controller for the verticality of bridge piers, including a tilt detection box 1. A fixing component 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the tilt detection box 1. A bridge pier body 3 is fixedly sleeved inside the fixing component 2. A connecting pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tilt detection box 1. An early warning feedback box 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 4. Another fixing component 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the early warning feedback box 5 closest to the tilt detection box 1. The tilt detection box 1 and the early warning feedback box 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the top and bottom of one side of the surface of the bridge pier body 3. Both the tilt detection box 1 and the early warning feedback box 5 are made of thermal insulation material. The tilt detection box 1 contains antifreeze liquid. In this embodiment, the tilt detection box 1, the fixing component 2, the connecting pipe 4, and the early warning feedback box 5 facilitate the fixing of the tilt detection box 1 and the early warning feedback box 5 when inspecting the main body 3 of the bridge pier. This allows the tilt detection box 1 and the early warning feedback box 5 to complete the data detection without manual assistance when performing verticality detection through the connecting pipe 4. The operation is simple and convenient, and the verticality data is accurately obtained through the liquid amplitude inside the tilt detection box 1.
[0020] Among them, the fixing component 2 indicates that a connector 201 is provided on both sides, a screw hole 202 is provided inside the connector 201, a fixing screw 203 is movably sleeved inside the screw hole 202, and a fixing nut 204 is movably sleeved on both sides of the surface of the fixing screw 203. In this embodiment, the fixing component 2 helps to fix the tilt detection box 1 and the early warning feedback box 5 to the surface of the bridge pier main body 3, reducing the number of manual fixing steps and lowering the labor intensity.
[0021] The tilt detection box 1 has a cylindrical storage cavity 101 inside. The cylindrical storage cavity 101 has side leakage slots 102 on all four sides of its inner wall and near the top. The tilt detection box 1 also has flow guides 103 on all four sides of the cylindrical storage cavity 101. The flow guides 103 are connected to the cylindrical storage cavity 101 through the side leakage slots 102. The antifreeze liquid stored inside the cylindrical storage cavity 101 is lower than the side leakage slots 102. In this embodiment: the liquid is stored inside the cylindrical storage cavity 101, so that when the bridge pier body 3 is tilted, the liquid is tilted to one side due to gravity, so that the tilted liquid enters the guide channel 103, and flows through the guide channel 103 to the inside of the connecting pipe 4 and then enters the early warning feedback box 5 to complete the detection.
[0022] The tilt detection box 1 has a converging cavity 104 at the bottom of the interior. The top of the converging cavity 104 is connected to the bottom of the guide channel 103. The bottom of the converging cavity 104 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 4 and has a pipe fixing hole 105. In this embodiment: the connecting pipe 4 facilitates the introduction of the liquid flowing at an angle into the early warning feedback box 5 to complete the detection and early warning.
[0023] The early warning feedback box 5 has an inlet hole 501 at the position where the connecting pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the early warning feedback box 5. The inlet cavity 502 is opened at the top of the early warning feedback box 5. The bottom of the inlet cavity 502 is surrounded by guide cavities 503. The guide cavities 503 are all inclined inward at 45 degrees. The early warning feedback box 5 has a circular cavity 505 at the bottom adjacent to the guide cavities 503. In this embodiment, the liquid entering the early warning feedback box 5 is made to enter the circular inner cavity 505 through the liquid inlet cavity 502 and the flow guiding inner cavity 503 inside the early warning feedback box 5.
[0024] The circular inner cavity 505 has a suspended inner cavity 507 at the bottom, and a suspended plate 509 is movably connected to the bottom of the suspended inner cavity 507. A limiting groove 508 is opened on one side of the surface of the suspended inner cavity 507, and the suspended plate 509 is movably sleeved inside the limiting groove 508. In this embodiment, the suspension plate 509 facilitates the lifting of the suspension plate 509 to complete the early warning operation when the liquid causes the suspension plate 509 to rise.
[0025] Among them, the warning feedback box 5 is fixedly connected to the signal transmitting component 504 on the inner side adjacent to the flow guiding cavity 503. The signal transmitting component 504 is provided with a touch switch 506 at the bottom position, and the touch switch 506 is located at the top position of the floating cavity 507. In this embodiment, the early warning feedback box 5, the suspension plate 509, the signal transmitting component 504, and the touch switch 506 facilitate the lifting of the suspension plate 509 by the injection of flowing liquid into the suspension cavity 507 when there is a large deviation in the verticality of the main body of the bridge pier. When the suspension plate 509 reaches the surface position of the touch switch 506, the signal transmitting component 504 is activated in time to provide an early warning.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model: First, when installing the automatic detection alarm controller, move the fixing component 2 on one side of the tilt detection box 1 closer to the top of the bridge pier body 3 so that the mating screw holes 202 of the connector 201 are aligned. Then, insert the fixing screw 203 into the mating screw hole 202 and rotate the fixing nut 204 on both sides of the fixing screw 203 to fix the fixing component 2 onto the surface of the bridge pier body 3. After the above operation, fix the fixing component 2, which is fixedly connected to the early warning feedback box 5, onto the surface of the bridge pier body 3 near the bottom. When the verticality of the bridge pier body 3 is normal, the antifreeze liquid inside the cylindrical storage cavity 101 is still. Then, as the verticality of the bridge pier body 3 changes, the bridge pier body 3 causes the tilt detection box 1 to tilt to one side. The antifreeze liquid inside the cylindrical storage cavity 101 shifts due to the tilt and the angle of the shift causes it to leak through the side leakage slot hole 102. The flow proceeds to the guide channel 103, allowing the antifreeze liquid to reach the collecting chamber 104 and enter the connecting pipe 4 through the pipe fixing hole 105 at the bottom of the collecting chamber 104. Then, the antifreeze liquid enters the inlet chamber 502 through the connecting pipe 4, and then enters the circular inner chamber 505 and the suspension inner chamber 507 through the guide inner chamber 503 around the bottom of the inlet chamber 502. The antifreeze liquid entering the suspension inner chamber 507 then causes the suspension plate 509 to float. As the tilt angle of the tilt detection box 1 increases, the amount of antifreeze liquid flowing from the cylindrical storage chamber 101 into the suspension inner chamber 507 also increases. When the suspension plate 509 floats to the position of the touch switch 506 at the bottom of the signal transmitting component 504 after being limited by the limit groove 508, the touch switch 506 activates the signal transmitting component 504, causing the signal transmitting component 504 to emit an electrical signal for alarm. The overall structure is simple and uses gravity to complete the detection and alarm, with a low cost.
