The invention belongs to the technical field of gravel
ridge detection, and relates to a gravel
ridge elevation detection
system and method. The
system comprises a detection rod, a driver, a pull
rope sensor and a measurement and control module, the detection rod is arranged on the side, perpendicular to the length direction of the gravel ridges, of the gravel throwing
pipe and is parallel to the gravel throwing
pipe. The distance between the center of the detection rod and the center of the gravel throwing
pipe is equal to the distance between the center lines of every two adjacent gravel ridges. When the
riprap pipe lays and levels the current gravel
ridge, the detection rod is located above the previous gravel ridge and is driven by the
riprap pipe to move in the length direction of the previous gravel ridge, the driver drives the detection rod to move up and down repeatedly, and the detection rod moves downwards to the bottom end of the detection rod to make contact with the top face of the previous gravel ridge every time. The pull
rope sensor transmits displacement data of the detection rod when the detection rod moves downwards each time to the measurement and control module for
processing, and elevation values of a plurality of detection points of a previous gravel ridge are obtained. According to the invention, the elevation of the previous gravel ridge can be detected while the current gravel ridge is constructed by the
riprap pipe, and the elevation detection precision of the gravel ridge is obviously improved.
