A Novel Intelligent Rebound Hammer System Based on Internet of Things

Abstract

In order to improve the test efficiency of concrete strength and ensure measured data reliability, we present a novel intelligent rebound hammer system which is based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and speech recognition technology. The system uses a STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller as the Main Control Unit (MCU), and one BC26 module as the communication unit, combined with a LD3320 voice recognition module and TOF050H laser ranging sensor to achieve the function of phonetic transcription and laser ranging. Without the need for traditional multi-person collaboration and burdensome data transfer, the system can collect the data of rebound value and location information and send them to the remote cloud information management system automatically in real time. The test results show that the system has high measuring accuracy, good data transmission stability and convenient operation, which could provide guidance for other types of non-destructive testing equipment designs.
