Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge inspection technology, specifically to a detection device for bridge water seepage. Background Technology
[0002] A bridge is a road erected at a height to provide transportation. A bridge generally consists of a superstructure, substructure, and ancillary structures. The superstructure mainly refers to the bridge span structure and bearing system; the substructure includes abutments, piers, and foundations; and ancillary structures include approach slabs, tapered slopes, revetments, and diversion works. According to structural systems, bridges are classified into four basic systems: beam bridges, arch bridges, rigid frame bridges, and suspension bridges. During bridge construction, the water permeability of a bridge is an important indicator of its stability. Water permeability testing requires installing a sealing device on the bridge, injecting water into the device, and measuring the change in water volume over a period of time to determine the bridge's water permeability.
[0003] Existing bridge surfaces are not perfectly level; the bridge decks have some inclination. However, most current detection devices are not convenient for adjusting the tilt angle of the sealing cover, making them unusable on sloping surfaces and thus impractical. Therefore, this invention provides a detection device for bridge seepage. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the liquid storage cylinder is provided with graduated strips.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the base is fixedly mounted with self-locking casters.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a detection device for bridge seepage, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This device for detecting bridge seepage utilizes a combination of a rotating shaft, a sealing cover, a vertical plate, a drive motor, a threaded rod, a moving block, a connecting rod, a fixing frame, a liquid storage cylinder, a hose, a chute, gears, springs, a toothed plate, and a pressing plate. During use, the angle of the sealing cover is adjusted according to the road surface inclination at the measurement point. The drive motor then rotates the threaded rod, which in turn moves the moving block downwards along the interior of the vertical plate. This, in turn, moves the connecting rod downwards, pushing the support frame and bringing the sealing cover into contact with the bridge surface. Water from the liquid storage cylinder then flows into the sealing cover through the hose. The level of the liquid in the storage cylinder indicates the bridge's seepage performance, thus effectively detecting inclined road surfaces on bridges and significantly improving the device's practicality.

[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: It includes a base 1, with support frames 2 hinged to both ends of the base 1. A sealing cover 4 is mounted on one end of each support frame 2 via a rotating shaft 3. Vertical plates 5 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the upper surface of the base 1. A drive motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of each vertical plate 5. One end of the output shaft of the drive motor 6 rotatably passes through the vertical plate 5 and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 7. A moving block 8 is threadedly engaged on the surface of the threaded rod 7. One end of the moving block 8 is hinged to the upper surface of the support frame 2 via a connecting rod 9. A liquid storage cylinder 11 is fixedly mounted between the two vertical plates 5 via a fixing frame 10. The bottom of the liquid storage cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealing cover 4 via a flexible hose 12. A sliding groove 13 is provided inside the support frame 2. One end of the rotating shaft 3 passes through the sliding groove 13 and is fixedly mounted with a gear 14. A spring 15 is fixedly mounted inside the sliding groove 13 on one side of the gear 14. A toothed plate 16 is mounted on one end of the spring 15, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the toothed plate 16. 17. Through the coordinated arrangement of the rotating shaft 3, sealing cover 4, upright plate 5, drive motor 6, threaded rod 7, moving block 8, connecting rod 9, fixing frame 10, liquid storage cylinder 11, hose 12, slide groove 13, gear 14, spring 15, toothed plate 16 and pressing plate 17, the angle of the sealing cover 4 is adjusted according to the road surface inclination at the measurement point. Then, the drive motor 6 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate. At this time, the threaded rod 7 will drive the moving block 8 to move downward along the inside of the upright plate 5, and then drive the connecting rod 9 to push the support frame 2 downward and make the sealing cover 4 stick to the bridge surface. Then, the water in the liquid storage cylinder 11 flows into the sealing cover 4 through the hose 12. Then, the water seepage performance of the bridge is known according to the liquid level in the liquid storage cylinder 11, thereby playing a role in detecting the inclined road surface on the bridge and effectively improving the practicality of the device. Both ends of the toothed plate 16 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 13. The surface of the liquid storage cylinder 11 is provided with a scale strip 18. The bottom of the base 1 is fixedly installed with a self-locking moving wheel 19.

This, in turn, drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate via the drive motor 6. The threaded rod 7 then causes the moving block 8 to move downwards along the interior of the vertical plate 5, which in turn drives the connecting rod 9 to push the support frame 2 downwards, bringing the sealing cover 4 into contact with the bridge surface. Water from the liquid storage cylinder 11 then flows into the sealing cover 4 through the hose 12. The bridge seepage performance is then determined based on the liquid level in the liquid storage cylinder 11, thus effectively detecting inclined road surfaces on bridges and significantly improving the device's practicality.
