[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention discloses a crack detection device for bridge pavement, comprising a measuring box 1, a drive wheel 11 mounted at the top corner of the measuring box 1, a drive motor mounted on the drive wheel 11, a detection hole 12 at the bottom of the measuring box 1, and two lifting rails 21 fixedly installed inside the measuring box 1, located on both sides of the detection hole 12. Each lifting rail 21 is slidably mounted with a translation rod 22, which is a screw rod. The two translation rods 22 are rotatably connected to the same connecting block 23 at their adjacent ends. Both lifting rails 21... A sliding block 24 is slidably mounted, and a translation rod 22 is rotatably mounted on the sliding block 24. A first drive 31 is fixedly mounted on the sliding block 24, and the output end of the first drive 31 is fixedly connected to the translation rod 22. A second drive 32 is fixedly mounted on the lifting rail 21, and the output end of the second drive 32 is connected to the sliding block 24. The system also includes a detection end 4, which includes two ultrasonic ends 41 and a camera end 42. The ultrasonic ends 41 are slidably mounted on the sliding block 24 and threadedly connected to the translation rod 22. The camera end 42 is mounted on the lower end of the connecting block 23.
[0036] Specifically, a probe end 4 is installed inside the measuring box 1, along with a liftable translation rod 22. The probe end 4 is raised and lowered by the action of the second drive 32. The translation rod 22 is threadedly connected to the ultrasonic end 41, which is translated by the action of the first drive 31. When measuring a crack, the probe end 4 is aligned with the measuring position by controlling the second drive 32 and the drive wheel 11. This identifies the crack width and locates the crack position. The first drive 31 is then adjusted to change the position of the ultrasonic end 41. The second drive 32 lowers the ultrasonic end 41 through the probe hole 12 to the ground for measurement. By adjusting the drive wheel 11, the measuring box 1 can be rotated, allowing measurement to be performed with the ultrasonic end 41 on the same side of the crack or on both sides.
[0037] In this way, the surveyor can complete the measurement of cracks by controlling the drive wheel 11, the first drive 31 and the second drive 32, which reduces labor intensity and facilitates improved work efficiency.
[0038] In some feasible configurations, the measuring box 1 is a rectangular box shape, and the drive wheel 11 is a MEM wheel for easy movement control. The lifting rail 21 includes two opposing C-shaped rails, and the sliding block 24 is a rectangular block that is movably mounted between the two C-shaped rails. The first drive 31 is a drive motor bolted to the sliding block 24. The translation rod 22 rotatably passes through the sliding block 24. To facilitate the installation of the probe end 4, each translation rod 22 is threaded with a sliding block. The two sliding blocks 24 are fixedly connected by a rectangular rod, and the upper end of the sliding block is slidably suspended from the rectangular rod by a C-shaped component. The ultrasonic end 41 is fixedly mounted to the sliding block. The connecting block 23 is a rectangular block that is fixedly connected to the rectangular rod.
[0039] The measuring box 1 also houses the control system module and battery module of the probe 4. For ease of observation and control, the display and controller of the probe 4 are fixedly mounted on the top of the measuring box 1. A push handle is provided on the top of the measuring box 1.
[0040] As a specific embodiment of the crack detection device for bridge pavement provided in the application, the second drive 32 includes two lifting screws 321 that are rotatably mounted on the lifting rail 21. The upper end of the lifting screw 321 is provided with a bevel gear set 322. The two bevel gear sets 322 are connected to the same connecting rod 323, and the connecting rod 323 is fixedly connected to a drive motor.
[0041] Overall, by setting up the bevel gear set 322 and the connecting rod 323, it is easy to make the two sliding blocks 24 rise and fall synchronously.
[0042] As another specific embodiment of the crack detection device for bridge pavement provided in the application, please refer to Figure 3Both the ultrasonic end 41 and the camera end 42 are fixedly connected to a pre-tensioning spring 43, and the upper end of the pre-tensioning spring 43 is installed on the translation rod 22 and the connecting block 23.
[0043] In the context of specific applications, although the bridge deck is generally flat in its relatively small size, it may have some protrusions or depressions, which may make it difficult for the probe end 4 to fit against the bridge deck. By setting a pre-tensioning spring 43, on the one hand, it provides downward pressure to the ultrasonic end 41, and on the other hand, it is easy to adjust the pre-tensioning spring 43 so that all ends of the probe end 4 can fit against the bridge deck, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.
[0044] In some feasible embodiments, a tubular connector is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block, a preload spring 43 is installed inside the tubular connector, and the probe end 4 is slidably installed inside the tubular connector.
[0045] As a specific embodiment of the crack detection device for bridge pavement provided in the application, a coating component 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the measuring box 1. The coating component 5 includes a collection chamber 51, a silicone scraper 52, a coating tube 53, and an injection tube 54. The collection chamber 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the measuring box 1, the silicone scraper 52 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the collection chamber 51, the output end of the coating tube 53 is fixedly installed at the collection chamber 51, and the injection tube 54 is fixedly installed at the input end of the coating tube 53. The injection tube 54 is filled with coupling agent.
[0046] To improve measurement accuracy, a coupling agent is applied to the surface of the ultrasonic end 41 during ultrasonic measurement, depending on the specific application scenario. The coating component 5 facilitates automatic application of the coupling agent and enables continuous measurement.
[0047] In some feasible configurations, the collection chamber 51 is a rectangular box shape, and a silicone scraper 52 is installed obliquely inside the collection chamber 51. After measurement, the ultrasonic end 41 slides through the silicone scraper 52, which scrapes off the coupling agent from the ultrasonic end 41. To ensure thorough scraping, multiple silicone scrapers 52 are provided. The bottom of the collection chamber 51 extends through the measurement box 1, and the scraped coupling agent falls to the ground. The injection tube 54 is syringe-shaped and bolted to the bottom of the measurement box 1. The coating tube 53 is located inside the collection chamber 51. After scraping, the ultrasonic end 41 enters above the coating tube 53, pushing the injection tube 54 to apply the coupling agent. To facilitate automated coating, the injection tube 54 is connected to an electric push rod 55.
[0048] Furthermore, the injection tube 54 is fixedly connected to the injection tube 56, the upper end of the injection tube 56 is located outside the measuring box 1, and a sealing cap is provided at the upper end of the injection tube 56.
[0049] It should be understood that the injection tube 56 facilitates the replenishment of coupling agent.
[0050] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
