The present invention relates to a device for measuring the amount of deformation of the flexible pipe while at the same time performing the CCTV shooting survey while driving the inside of the flexible pipe, and more specifically, by measuring the degree of deformation of the pipeline at the same time as the inside of the pipeline through the CCTV The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring the amount of deformation of a flexible pipe, which enables the accurate measurement of the degree of deformation of the flexible pipe, but enables the inspection of the pipe at a minimum cost.

In general, the flexible pipe is in the form of a double-walled pipe and is widely used to communicate fluids such as sewage, sewage, or wastewater as underground pipes.

These flexible pipes have the advantage of preventing breakage or damage even if some ground behavior occurs through the ductility action.However, due to the load of the upper earth pressure, the pipes have a certain pressure due to the load of the upper earth pressure. In addition, deformation of the flexible pipe is caused by the surrounding ground behavior due to prolonged burial.

Therefore, the deformation of the flexible pipe to perform the replacement work according to the degree of deformation, such as replacement or repair by checking the abnormality of the flexible pipe, and conventionally, the displacement gauge is installed inside the pipeline or the inside of the pipeline is photographed by CCTV equipment. The amount of deformation of the flexible tube was measured using a mechanical strain measuring instrument.

By the way, the displacement meter according to the prior art has a displacement variable magnetic sensor (LVDT) that converts mechanical displacement into an electrical signal inside the pipeline, and the displacement of the surface of the pipeline in contact with the pipeline underground By using the generation of electrical output according to the deformation measurement of the flexible pipe, there is a disadvantage that expensive installation cost is generated, it is necessary to remove after the installation of the displacement gauge, there was also a problem that the cost of the measurement work is excessively required. In addition, since only the displacement amount of the displacement meter is measured, the degree of deformation and the deformation shape of the entire pipeline are difficult to grasp properly, and thus the reliability of the measured value is lowered.

CCTV shooting method is to output the CCTV shooting result and insert it into grid type or grid shape, and it is possible to grasp the shape, but it is not able to cover the error occurrence of the photographed picture. Of course, there was a problem that it is not possible to measure whether 5% of the inner diameter (sewerage standard) exceeded the allowable strain rate of the flexible pipe, and in particular, there was a time-consuming problem that the deformation amount could not be measured / confirmed during the CCTV shooting process.

The mechanical strain measuring device is not only inconvenient, but also difficult to operate, and the strain is measured by reading the scale of the attached person through the CCTV screen. There is a problem in that the efficiency of the measurement is lowered because the time required for the measurement point is about 30 minutes.

 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to measure and confirm the degree of deformation of the flexible pipe at the same time as the CCTV filming can be measured and confirmed through the numerical analysis of the flexible pipe at a minimum cost The present invention provides a device for measuring the amount of deformation of a flexible pipe to accurately determine the degree of deformation of the whole body.

In addition, the present invention is to provide a non-contact sensing method, the amount of deformation of the flexible pipe to be able to measure the deformation properties of the pipe after the flexible pipe buried and to improve the reliability and efficiency of the flexible pipe deformation measurement. .

The present invention for achieving the above object is a CCD camera and auxiliary lighting mounted to the second rotating body rotatably coupled to the left / right direction in front of the first rotating body to be rotated and the rear of the first rotating body Deformation measuring unit consisting of a measuring sensor mounted on the third rotating body coupled to enable the individual rotation to the main body side of the third rotating body side and cast name for emitting a main illumination light source in the pipeline, A measuring unit coupled to the deformation measuring unit and configured to include a distance measuring device for automatic measurement of a moving distance, and a conveying unit including an inclination sensor for measuring an inclination of a pipe; Built-in numerical analysis program that numerically analyzes the data sent from the measuring unit to text and graphics, and has a real-time storage function of various measurement data, and the main controller unit for individually adjusting the deformation measuring unit and the transfer unit, and The technical configuration is characterized by consisting of a casting unit consisting of a monitor unit for displaying text and graphics numerically interpreted through the main controller unit simultaneously with the image pickup screen of the CCD camera.

Further, the measuring sensor is characterized in that it comprises an ultrasonic sensor including a sensor head that is a non-contact probe or a laser sensor having a laser light source of the laser diode or LED and the position detection PSD element as a light receiving unit.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the strain measuring device 100 of the flexible pipe according to the present invention is disposed in the flexible pipe and the inside of the pipe while moving in the pipeline while the CCTV filming the inside of the pipe and the amount of deformation of the flexible pipe through the distance detection The measurement unit 110 and wired or wirelessly connected with the measurement unit 110 to adjust the measurement unit 110 and at the same time numerically interpret the data sent from the measurement unit 110 on the monitor The casting part 120 to be processed can be made large.

The measuring unit 110 and the CCD camera (111a) mounted on the second rotating body (111-3) rotatably coupled to the left / right direction in front of the first rotating body (111-2) to be rotated and the auxiliary Measurement sensor 111b mounted on the illumination 111d, the third rotating body 111-4 coupled to the rear of the first rotating body 111-2 so as to enable individual rotation, and the third rotating body. A deformation amount measuring unit 111 attached to the main body 111-1 side of the (111-4) side and composed of a cast name 111c that emits a main illumination light source in the conduit; The transfer unit coupled to the movement and height adjustment of the deformation measuring unit 111 and having a distance measuring device 112d for automatic measurement of the moving distance and an inclination sensor 112e for measuring the inclination of the pipe line ( 112).

The measuring sensor 111b of the deformation measuring unit 111 is a sensor for measuring the distance by taking an analog value through each distance sensing in the conduit while rotating 360 degrees in a concentric circle instead of a fixed type, and using an ultrasonic sensor or a laser sensor. Can be configured.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5A, the ultrasonic sensor has a sensor head that is a non-contact probe, and calculates the time of the received wave to return after the transmission wave hits the object and that is, the inner surface of the flexible pipe. By measuring the distance to be able to measure the amount of deformation of the flexible pipe.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5B, the laser sensor includes a laser diode or a laser light source of a LED and a position sensing detector (PSD) element as a light receiving unit. The spot of the laser light source as a light emitting unit is a distance of an object. By using a phase formed on the PSD element as a light receiving part, the current change proportional to this position is taken as an analog value and the distance can be measured to measure the amount of deformation of the flexible tube. At this time, the laser sensor is a non-contact type, and because the PSD element has a characteristic of obtaining continuous position information as a non-dividing type, it enables a more accurate distance measurement. Therefore, it may be more preferable to configure the measurement sensor 111b with a laser sensor.

The first rotating body 111-2, the second rotating body 111-3, and the third rotating body 111-4 of the deformation amount measuring unit 111 may be individually rotated by 360 degrees. The first rotating body 111-2 and the third rotating body 111-4 rotate vertically up and down, and the second rotating body 111-3 rotates horizontally left and right.

The transfer part 112 is configured to be moved through the coupling coupling of the drive motor 112a and the drive gear 112b and to achieve speed control and force distribution through the reducer 112c associated with the drive motor 112a. The distance measuring unit 112d is configured to automatically measure the actual moving distance by the rotational speed through the driving motor 112a side linkage. In addition, the inclination sensor 112e of the conveying unit 112 measures the inclination of the flexible pipe to provide easy control of the horizontal state of the device and the position movement, thereby assisting in measuring the deformation of the flexible pipe more precisely. It will be desirable to install to be able to function to inject the front of the body.

The casting unit 120 has a built-in numerical analysis program that numerically analyzes the data sent from the measuring unit 110 to text and graphics, and has a real-time storage function of various measurement data and the deformation amount measuring unit 111 And a main controller 121 for individually adjusting the transfer unit 112 and text and graphics numerically interpreted through the main controller 121 simultaneously with the captured screen of the CCD camera 111a. The monitor unit 122 is configured.

Referring to the operation of the strain measuring device 100 of the flexible pipe according to the present invention made of such a configuration as follows.

First, the measuring unit 110 composed of the deformation measuring unit 111 and the conveying unit 112 forming one integral body is introduced into the flexible pipe.

The casting unit 120 checks the position of the measuring device through the monitor unit 122 and adjusts the speed of the conveying unit 112 to advance the inside of the pipeline, and at the same time, the CCD camera 111a of the deformation measuring unit 111 Imaging in the conduit is attempted by adjusting the position and adjusting the brightness of the casting name 111c / secondary illumination 111d, and as shown in FIG. 6, the inner diameter of the conduit by the 360 degree rotation of the measuring sensor 111b. By measuring the distance continuously, the deformation of the pipeline is measured. At this time, the inclination sensor 112e of the conveying unit 112 constantly measures the forward inclination of the conduit while advancing in the conduit to enable horizontal state and position control of the deformation measuring unit 111 and move the position of the conveying unit 112 side. It provides for ease of use. Accordingly, it is possible to move the device in response to the change in the slope of the pipeline, as well as to perform a precise and accurate measurement of the amount of deformation in the pipeline according to the adjustment of the deformation measurement unit 111.

In this way, while measuring the distance to the inner diameter of the pipeline by the 360-degree concentric rotation while moving forward in the pipeline, the data of measuring the amount of deformation of the flexible pipe is sent to the casting unit 120 and the numerical value of the main controller unit 121 In addition to converting the signal measured by the measurement unit 110 by the driving of the analysis program, text and graphics are processed, and the collected measurement signal is analyzed to calculate the deformation amount and the deformation position of the pipeline. In addition, the text and graphic processing image is displayed through the monitor 122 at the same time as the CCTV shooting screen. At this time, the inclination data of the pipe measured through the inclination sensor 112e is also sent to the casting unit 120 and used for precise control of the apparatus.

Therefore, the present invention enables accurate measurement of the deformation amount and the deformation position of the pipeline through the non-contact sensing, simultaneous measurement of the amount of deformation of the flexible pipe by the measurement data during the CCTV shooting process, as well as CCTV shooting in real time, It not only provides the accuracy of understanding the overall degree of deformation but also makes it easy to measure the deformation in the pipeline after the pipeline is buried. Furthermore, since the inclination of the pipeline is measured, it is possible to quickly cope with this and more accurate measurement of deformation amount.

As described above, according to the apparatus for measuring the amount of deformation of the flexible pipe according to the present invention, the deformation degree of the flexible pipe can be directly measured and confirmed through numerical analysis during the CCTV photographing process, and the flexible pipe can be checked at a minimum cost. It is useful to know exactly the degree of deformation of the whole.

In addition, the present invention, by applying a non-contact sensing method, the accurate measurement of the amount of deformation of the flexible pipe is made to give the reliability of the device, and the effect of giving the efficiency along with the time required for the measurement of the deformation, the pipe even after the buried pipe It is possible to measure the deformation properties of.

In addition, it is possible to measure whether or not exceeding 5% (standard of sewage system) of the inner diameter, which is the allowable strain rate standard of the flexible pipe, can enable accurate construction.

In addition, it is possible to measure the degree of deformation immediately when detecting abnormality of the pipeline behavior, which provides an advantage to be used as data on the ease of establishing the future measures and the change of the behavior of the pipeline.
