Abstract
The present invention relates to a wireless underground horizontal inclinometer system and, in particular, to a wireless underground horizontal inclinometer system capable of detecting clamps by using a proximity switch, wherein the inclinometer system can: perform measurements at an exact position by automatically transferring a measurement sensor of the underground horizontal inclinometer to the exact position; transfer the sensor for automatically measuring underground horizontal displacement or vertical lowering of the inclinometer in a direction perpendicular or horizontal to the ground; and take the influence of the surrounding environment into account when performing measurements.
Claims4
A wireless underground horizontal inclinometer device for moving a probe coupled to a cable within a guide pipe to measure an inclination of the underground, the wireless underground horizontal inclinometer device comprising:
- a transfer unit configured to move the probe, which includes a measurement sensor, within a bored guide hole-the transfer unit includes a cable, clamps are installed at regular intervals on the cable, and an end of the cable is connected to an end of the probe;
- a control unit configured to control operation of the transfer unit and receive measured data from the measurement sensor;
- a first Bluetooth communication unit configured to receive measurement data from the probe by performing Bluetooth communication with the probe;
- and
- a clamp detection unit configured to detect the clamps installed on the cable,
- wherein the clamp detection unit is a proximity sensor installed in the guide hole and detects the presence of a clamp when the clamp approaches within a predetermined distance.
