Research and application of a new type of aqueduct concrete non-destructive inspection robot based on the principle of coherent frequency

Abstract

The concrete aqueduct has some quality problems such as lacuna and cavity during construction or operation, which seriously affects the safety of aqueduct operation. How to quickly detect the defects of aqueduct is of great significance to provide the basis for the repair and reinforcement of aqueduct. In this paper, based on the coherent frequency method, the automatic walking robot device for concrete nondestructive testing is integrated and assembled. Through wireless communication, the automatic excitation, acquisition and imaging of elastic wave are completed, so as to realize the rapid detection of uniformity and compactness defects of aqueduct concrete structure. Through the test and engineering demonstration application, the detection results are reliable, and the detection efficiency is improved by more than 50%. And the follow-up improvement plan of the system hardware should strengthen the maneuverability of the car, realize precise positioning, strengthen the energy of the seismic source, and improve the overall reliability of the system.
