Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of multi-point displacement meter installation technology, and more specifically, to a multi-point displacement meter orifice protection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-point displacement gauges are core instruments in the field of safety monitoring of major infrastructure such as dams, slope engineering, and arch engineering. They are mainly used to monitor the displacement and deformation of structures in real time. Their installation stability and long-term operation and maintenance quality directly determine the continuity, accuracy and reliability of engineering safety monitoring data, and are a key technical support for ensuring the safe operation of engineering structures.

[0003] In practical engineering applications, multi-point displacement gauges need to be installed inside pre-designated orifices. These orifices, as the connection point between the instrument and the external environment, are exposed to complex outdoor environments such as open slopes and damp roof arches for extended periods, facing multiple risks and threats. Therefore, targeted protection measures for orifices are essential. Currently, the industry's core requirements for orifice protection focus on three dimensions: firstly, impact protection to prevent damage to the instrument body or connecting components from construction debris, falling rocks, and external collisions; secondly, waterproof sealing to prevent rainwater infiltration, groundwater seepage, and substances precipitated from within the engineering structure from entering the orifice, thus avoiding instrument short circuits, component corrosion, and other malfunctions; and thirdly, protection against external interference to isolate dust, debris, insects, and other foreign objects from entering, ensuring the sensitivity of the instrument's sensing elements and guaranteeing stable monitoring data.

[0004] To meet the aforementioned basic protection requirements, the industry generally adopts a "complete concrete pouring" protection method. Taking the protection of multi-point displacement gauges in slope engineering as an example, the specific implementation of this technical solution is as follows: Structurally, after the multi-point displacement gauge is accurately installed and fixed inside the borehole, concrete is poured around the perimeter of the borehole and the instrument base to form a closed concrete protective layer. This protective layer not only completely covers the slope surface around the borehole but also wraps around the base of the multi-point displacement gauge and part of the instrument body, forming a protective whole that fits tightly with the slope structure. Relying on the high strength physical properties of concrete itself, it resists the impact and collision of external objects, achieving anti-impact protection. Utilizing the dense structure of the cured concrete, it blocks the seepage path of rainwater and groundwater into the borehole, while also isolating the intrusion of substances precipitated from the engineering structure, achieving a waterproof and sealing effect. In addition, the concrete protective layer can also form a physical barrier, effectively preventing dust, debris, and other external interference factors from directly contacting the instrument, ensuring the normal working environment of the instrument. Installation method: After the multi-point displacement gauge is fixed in the orifice, a concrete pouring template is set up on site, and then the concrete pouring operation is carried out. After the concrete is cured and formed, the protective layer, slope structure and instrument base form an integrated structure to achieve long-term protection.

[0005] However, the existing "complete concrete pouring" protection method has significant technical defects and cannot meet the actual needs of long-term operation and maintenance of projects. On the one hand, instrument replacement is extremely difficult. Because the concrete protective layer forms a solid integrated structure with the slope structure and instrument base, when the multi-point displacement gauge needs to be replaced due to aging from long-term use or sudden failure, the concrete layer cannot be easily removed. Forcibly breaking it not only easily damages the surrounding engineering structure, but also makes it difficult to remove the old instrument completely, directly causing the monitoring work to be interrupted. On the other hand, if new instruments are to be installed by drilling new holes, the process is not only complicated and time-consuming, but also requires a high investment of manpower and material resources, making it extremely uneconomical. On the other hand, the limitations of this protection method are even more prominent in dam engineering scenarios. There are joint gaps between the multi-point displacement gauge boreholes inside the dam body and the rock mass. The existing concrete pouring method cannot effectively seal these gaps, causing seepage or structural exudates to easily flow out from the gaps and seep into the borehole. Such liquids can not only corrode instrument components, but may also accumulate in the orifice, eventually causing the multi-point displacement meter to malfunction, seriously affecting the normal operation of dam safety monitoring and posing a potential hazard to the dam's structural safety.

[0006] In summary, existing orifice protection technologies for multi-point displacement gauges suffer from problems such as difficulty in instrument replacement, high maintenance costs, and protection failure in special scenarios. There is an urgent need for a new orifice protection structure that balances protective performance, ease of installation, and flexibility of operation and maintenance. Utility Model Content
