The invention discloses a device and a method for centering installation of a heavy hammer and a sensor for
high strain detection, and relates to the technical field of
pile foundation detection. The device comprises a heavy hammer centering subsystem and a sensor positioning and mounting subsystem. The heavy hammer centering subsystem achieves optical accurate centering of a heavy hammer and a
pile center through a built-in
laser indicator and a buffer. The sensor positioning and mounting subsystem determines the
pile center through a cross stay wire, determines symmetrical mounting points through a measuring
rope with scales, performs high-precision
punching and positioning by means of a deformable mold with a gradienter, and ensures that force and acceleration sensors are symmetrically mounted at the same height. The method comprises the steps of pile center positioning, hole position marking, mold hole guiding,
laser centering, hammering and the like. According to the invention, the problems of
asymmetry and different heights of eccentric hammering of a heavy hammer and sensor installation in a traditional method are solved, the accuracy and reliability of
high strain detection data are remarkably improved, and the device is simple, low in cost, high in adaptability and convenient to popularize and apply on site.
