Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel detection technology, specifically to a tunnel monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Tunnels are affected by dynamic factors such as geological activities (e.g., landslides, earthquakes), traffic load fluctuations, and changes in groundwater pressure, which may cause sudden structural damage (e.g., rapid crack propagation, sudden lining detachment). Long-term, continuous data collection and analysis of tunnels through tunnel monitoring is a key means to grasp the tunnel's structural safety and environmental status in real time, especially in complex geological or high traffic load scenarios. Monitoring methods include fiber optic sensing (real-time strain), microseismic monitoring (capturing precursors of rock bursts), and GNSS (mountain displacement early warning).

[0003] With the development of information-based monitoring technology, automated monitoring equipment has begun to be widely installed on the inner walls of tunnels under construction and in operation to monitor the deformation of the surrounding rock and ensure the safety of tunnel construction and operation.

[0004] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN221527618U, describe a real-time monitoring device for tunnel lining deformation, which includes an installation mechanism, an adjustment device located below the installation mechanism, and a laser ranging sensor located below the adjustment device. The adjustment device includes a U-shaped shell connected to the installation mechanism, a horizontal moving mechanism located inside the U-shaped shell, a forward and backward swinging mechanism connected to the upper side of the laser ranging sensor, and a driving mechanism connected to the forward and backward swinging mechanism. The forward and backward swinging mechanism cooperates with the horizontal moving mechanism and can move horizontally; thereby facilitating the adjustment of the laser ranging sensor to move horizontally and swing back and forth, so that the laser ranging sensor is aligned with the target, improving the accuracy of data acquisition.

[0005] When laser rangefinders are used for extended periods, the laser beam can impair the vision of people in passing vehicles, posing a safety hazard.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the movable seat is slidably mounted on the limiting rod, and the limiting rod is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "lateral," "longitudinal," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

When a mechanism is considered to be "connected" to another mechanism, it can be directly connected to the other mechanism or there may be an intervening mechanism at the same time.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a tunnel monitoring device, comprising: a fixed frame 1, a vibration sensor 2, a laser rangefinder 311, and an adjustment mechanism 3 for adjusting the position of the laser rangefinder 311. The fixed frame 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the tunnel inner wall. The vibration sensor 2 senses the vibration generated when the rock mass fractures, and the vibration time is sensed by the vibration sensor 2 to locate the position of the vibration source. The location of the vibration source and its surrounding area are the potential damage zone. The position and angle of the laser rangefinder 311 are adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 3 so that the laser emitted by the laser rangefinder 311 scans the potential damage zone. The reflected laser signal is received by the laser rangefinder 311, enabling data collection on the deformation degree of the potential damage zone.

[0026] The adjusting mechanism 3 includes: a first motor 31, which is fixedly mounted on a fixed plate 32, which is fixedly mounted in a fixed frame 1. The output shaft of the first motor 31 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 33, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 32. The two rotating shafts 33 are symmetrically distributed. A toothed wheel is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 33, and a synchronous belt 34 is mounted on the toothed wheel. The output shaft of the first motor 31 drives one rotating shaft 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed wheel to rotate. The toothed wheel drives the synchronous belt 34 to run, and the synchronous belt 34 drives the other toothed wheel to rotate. An adjusting rod 35 is fixedly mounted on and passes through the synchronous belt 34. The adjusting rod 35 is perpendicular to the fixed plate 32, and the top of the adjusting rod 35 is slidably mounted in a limiting groove 36. The limiting groove 36 is set on a moving seat 37, and the moving trajectory of the adjusting rod 35 is limited by the limiting groove 36.

[0027] Furthermore, the limiting groove 36 is annular, and the cross-section of the limiting groove 36 is T-shaped. The diameter of the limiting groove 36 is larger than the diameter of the toothed wheel. When the timing belt 34 drives the adjusting rod 35 to move, the adjusting rod 35 pushes the inner wall of the limiting groove 36, causing the moving seat 37 to move. When the adjusting rod 35 moves to one end of the timing belt 34 and makes a circumferential movement, the adjusting rod 35 moves along the limiting groove 36. The moving seat 37 moves through the operation of the timing belt 34. There is no need to use a threaded rod, thus avoiding the threaded rod being affected by dust.

[0028] It should be added that a limiting rail is provided on the fixed plate 32. The shape of the limiting rail is the same as that of the synchronous belt 34. One end of the adjusting rod 35 is slidably installed in the limiting rail. During the movement of the adjusting rod 35, the limiting rail limits the adjusting rod 35 to prevent the synchronous belt 34 from causing the adjusting rod 35 to deviate, which would lead to instability in the ranging process of the laser ranging sensor 311.

[0029] The movable seat 37 is slidably mounted on the limiting rod 38, which is fixedly mounted in the fixed frame 1. By setting multiple limiting rods 38, the movement trajectory of the movable seat 37 is fixed, and the movable seat 37 will not deflect randomly, thus ensuring the stability of the movable seat 37. A second motor 39 is fixedly mounted on the movable seat 37. The output shaft of the second motor 39 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 310, which is hinged to the movable seat 37. A laser rangefinder sensor 311 is mounted on the mounting seat 310. The output shaft of the second motor 39 drives the mounting seat 310 to rotate, which in turn drives the laser rangefinder sensor 311 to deflect. Adjusting the angle of the laser rangefinder sensor 311 allows it to scan the seismic source and its surroundings, facilitating data collection on the deformation degree and extent of the potential damage zone.

[0030] Furthermore, the vibration sensor 2 is electrically connected to the controller, which in turn is electrically connected to the first motor 31 and the second motor 39. By setting at least three vibration sensors 2 at different positions on the top of the tunnel wall, the vibration sensors 2 detect the time difference between the arrival times of the P-wave and S-wave emitted by the vibration source, and transmit the data to the controller, which then processes the data according to the Geiger algorithm. (x0, y0, z0 are the coordinates of the earthquake source, v p The location data of the seismic source is calculated by "P-wave velocity". Then, the controller controls the first motor 31 and the second motor 39 to start, and adjust the laser range sensor 311 to a suitable position and angle. This enables the laser range sensor 311 to collect data on the degree and range of deformation in the potential damage zone, judge the danger level of the surrounding rock deformation, and facilitate maintenance.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] The adjusting rod 35 is moved by the synchronous belt 34, and the adjusting rod 35 pushes the inner wall of the limiting groove 36, causing the moving seat 37 to move, thereby adjusting the angle of the laser rangefinder 311. This eliminates the need for a threaded rod, avoiding damage caused by using a threaded rod in dusty environments. Furthermore, the synchronous belt 34 can adjust the position of the laser rangefinder 311 over a long range. In addition, by setting at least three vibration sensors 2 to locate the vibration source, it is easy to adjust the alignment of the laser rangefinder 311 with the potential damage area. The laser rangefinder 311 does not need to be used for a long time, avoiding the laser from affecting the vision of people in passing vehicles. At the same time, it can reduce the distribution density of monitoring equipment and reduce monitoring costs.
