Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of concrete temperature monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a temperature monitoring device for seamless construction of ultra-long structures. Background Technology
[0002] Extra-long structures exhibit significant thermal expansion and contraction issues under temperature variations. Concrete, as a primary building material, expands when the temperature rises and contracts when the temperature falls. Due to constraints imposed by the foundation and adjacent structures, the thermal stress of extra-long structures is difficult to release effectively. The hydration reaction of cement after concrete pouring releases a large amount of heat, causing the internal temperature of the concrete to rise rapidly, creating a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside, and generating thermal stress.
[0003] Currently, due to their large scale, ultra-long structures exhibit significant temperature variations across different locations and directions. Traditional single-point or unidirectional temperature monitoring methods struggle to comprehensively capture temperature information from all parts of the structure, failing to accurately grasp the overall temperature field changes across the entire ultra-long structure. Monitoring temperature at a few fixed points may miss temperature anomalies in critical areas, failing to provide comprehensive and accurate data support for seamless construction. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a temperature monitoring device for seamless construction of ultra-long structures, in order to solve the problem that traditional single-point or unidirectional temperature monitoring methods are unable to comprehensively obtain temperature information of all parts of ultra-long structures, and cannot accurately grasp the temperature field changes of the entire ultra-long structure. Monitoring temperature at a few fixed points may miss temperature anomalies in key areas, and cannot provide comprehensive and accurate data support for seamless construction.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: This utility model provides a temperature monitoring device for seamless construction of ultra-long structures, including a fully braked caster, a fixed bracket, a multi-directional rotating arm, an electronic level, an infrared thermal imager, a controller, and a first mounting plate. The multi-directional rotating arm is mounted on the top of the fixed bracket, the fully braked caster is fixed on the bottom of the fixed bracket, the infrared thermal imager is fixed at the end of the multi-directional rotating arm, the electronic level and the first mounting plate are fixed on the fixed bracket, and the controller is fixed on the first mounting plate. The controller is connected to the multi-directional rotating arm and the electronic level.
[0006] Furthermore, the fixed bracket includes a horizontal fixed steel section, a supporting steel section, and a vertical fixed steel section. The horizontal fixed steel section is fixed in a cross shape to the four sides of the vertical fixed steel section. One end of the supporting steel section is connected to the upper surface of the horizontal fixed steel section, and the other end is connected to the vertical end face of the vertical fixed steel section.
[0007] Furthermore, the electronic level and the first mounting plate are fixed on any horizontal fixed steel section, and the two horizontal fixed steel sections forming a right angle are connected by a first reinforcing connector.
[0008] Furthermore, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth joints of the multi-directional rotating arm are connected in sequence. The first joint is a vertical joint, which is connected to a joint connecting plate fixed on a vertical fixed steel section via a bottom connecting flange. The bottom of the joint connecting plate is locked to the side of the vertical fixed steel section via a second reinforcing connector. The second joint is installed perpendicular to the first joint, and the third joint is installed perpendicular to the second joint. The third and fourth joints are installed parallel to each other, and the fifth joint is installed perpendicular to the fourth joint. A second mounting plate is located on the top of the fifth joint, and an infrared thermal imager is locked onto the second mounting plate. The middle part of the third and fourth joints is a straight arm section. Any two adjacent joints are connected by a universal joint, and each universal joint and straight arm section is equipped with a torque motor, and each joint can rotate around its respective axis.
[0009] Furthermore, the controller, infrared thermal imager, and electronic level are all connected to the electronic handheld device.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the temperature monitoring device for seamless construction of ultra-long structures described in this utility model has the following advantages: (1) The temperature monitoring device of this utility model is equipped with fully braked casters, which makes the entire temperature monitoring device easy to move on the construction site of ultra-long structures. In different construction areas of seamless construction of ultra-long structures, workers can easily push the device to the required monitoring position without complicated handling equipment or reinstallation, which improves the flexibility and efficiency of monitoring. The multi-directional rotating arm can achieve rotation in multiple directions, so that the infrared thermal imager can acquire temperature data from different angles and fully grasp the temperature distribution of the structure.
[0011] (2) In this utility model, the electronic level feeds back the horizontal status information to the controller in real time. When the device tilts, the controller can remind the operator to make adjustments, or control the multi-directional rotating arm to make fine adjustments according to the preset program, so as to ensure that the infrared thermal imager is always in the best measurement level position and improve the accuracy of the monitoring data.
[0012] (3) During operation, the operator can set parameters such as the rotation angle and speed of the multi-directional rotating arm on the controller to achieve precise control of the infrared thermal imager's monitoring angle. At the same time, the operator can also read the data from the electronic level through the controller to understand the horizontal status of the device. This centralized control method greatly facilitates the operator's operation and management of the device, improves work efficiency, and, in addition, the connection with the electronic handheld device makes it easier for the operator to adjust the monitoring posture of the temperature monitoring device in a timely manner according to the actual situation, thus realizing remote adjustment and management.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] See Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a temperature monitoring device for seamless construction of ultra-long structures, including a fully braked caster 1, a fixed bracket, a multi-directional rotating arm, an electronic level 2, an infrared thermal imager 16, a controller 6, and a first mounting plate 15. The multi-directional rotating arm is mounted on the top of the fixed bracket, the fully braked caster 1 is fixed at the bottom of the fixed bracket, the infrared thermal imager 16 is fixed at the end of the multi-directional rotating arm, the electronic level 2 and the first mounting plate 15 are fixed on the fixed bracket, and the controller 6 is fixed on the first mounting plate 15. The controller 6 is connected to the multi-directional rotating arm and the electronic level 2.
[0021] The temperature monitoring device is equipped with fully braked casters, allowing for easy movement across construction sites of ultra-long structures. In different construction areas of seamless ultra-long structures, workers can easily push the device to the required monitoring location without the need for complex equipment handling or reinstallation, improving monitoring flexibility and efficiency. The multi-directional rotating arm allows for rotation in multiple directions, enabling the infrared thermal imager to acquire temperature data from different angles, providing a comprehensive understanding of the structure's temperature distribution. The multi-directional rotating arm can be purchased directly for practical use.
[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixed bracket includes a horizontal fixed steel 3, a supporting steel 4, and a vertical fixed steel 5. The horizontal fixed steel 3 is fixed in a cross shape on the four sides of the vertical fixed steel 5. One end of the supporting steel 4 is connected to the upper surface of the horizontal fixed steel 3, and the other end is connected to the vertical end face of the vertical fixed steel 5.
[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electronic level 2 and the first mounting plate 15 are fixed on any horizontal fixed steel 3, and the two horizontal fixed steel 3 forming a right angle are connected by the first reinforcing connector 12.
[0024] An electronic level mounted on a fixed bracket monitors the device's horizontal position in real time. Ensuring the infrared thermal imager is horizontal is crucial for temperature monitoring during the construction of ultra-long structures. This prevents measurement errors and image distortion caused by imager tilt, minimizing disruptions to accurate assessment of the structure's temperature distribution. The electronic level feeds horizontal information back to the controller in real time. When the device tilts, the controller alerts the operator for adjustments or, according to a preset program, controls the multi-directional rotating arm for fine-tuning, ensuring the infrared thermal imager is always at the optimal horizontal position and improving the accuracy of the monitoring data.
[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first joint 8, the second joint 9, the third joint 10, the fourth joint 11, and the fifth joint 13 in the multi-directional rotating arm are connected in sequence. The first joint 8 is a vertical joint. The first joint 8 is connected to the joint connecting plate 17 fixed on the vertical fixed steel 5 through the bottom connecting flange 7. The bottom of the joint connecting plate 17 is locked to the side of the vertical fixed steel 5 through the second reinforcing connector 14. The second joint 9 is installed perpendicular to the first joint 8, and the third joint 10 is installed perpendicular to the second joint 9. The third joint 10 and the fourth joint 11 are installed in parallel. The fifth joint 13 is installed perpendicular to the fourth joint 11. The second mounting plate 15 is located on the top of the fifth joint 13. The infrared thermal imager 16 is locked on the second mounting plate 15. The middle part of the third joint 10 and the fourth joint 11 is a straight arm. Any two adjacent joints are connected by universal joints. Each universal joint and the straight arm is equipped with a torque motor, and each joint can rotate around its own axis.
[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the controller 6, the infrared thermal imager 16, and the electronic level 2 are all connected to the electronic handheld device.
[0027] During operation, staff can set parameters such as the rotation angle and speed of the multi-directional rotating arm on the controller to achieve precise control of the infrared thermal imager's monitoring angle. Simultaneously, the controller can read data from the electronic level to understand the device's level status.
