Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pedestrian overpasses, in particular to a steel structure pedestrian overpass limiting device for high-intensity areas. Background Art
[0002] Steel structure pedestrian bridges are relatively common in urban bridge design. Steel structure bridges are superior to concrete structure bridges in terms of structural performance and economy. The extensive use of steel structure bridges in future urban construction will become a trend. The design and construction of steel structure pedestrian bridges in high-intensity earthquake zones require special attention. Because earthquake activities in these areas are frequent and strong, high requirements are placed on the seismic performance of buildings. The limit device is one of the key components to ensure the safety of the structure under extreme conditions such as earthquakes.
[0003] For example, the Chinese patent publication number (CN221192943U) discloses an anti-seismic anti-falling beam device for a steel box girder pedestrian bridge, which belongs to the field of bridge anti-seismic technology and solves the problem that conventional anti-seismic anti-falling beam devices are not suitable for steel box girder pedestrian bridges. The utility model provides a steel sleeve on the bottom plate of the steel box girder, which surrounds the periphery of the pier column, and a flexible gasket is provided on the inner wall of the steel sleeve. A flexible support is provided between the bottom plate of the steel box girder and the pier column. The utility model is an anti-seismic anti-falling beam device suitable for steel box girder pedestrian bridges. It not only meets the anti-seismic anti-falling beam regulations required by the design specifications, but also solves the disadvantages of conventional anti-seismic anti-falling beam devices for bridges, such as complex structure, cumbersome installation, and high cost. When the steel box girder of the bridge shifts under the action of earthquake force, the bridge pier column limits the steel box girder through the steel sleeve, thereby preventing the steel box girder from falling off, and the flexible gasket plays a role in buffering and protecting the pier column; the flexible support reliably transmits various forces of the superstructure to the pier column and can adapt to the rotation and displacement of the superstructure.
[0004] However, the existing technology, such as the above-mentioned patent, still has the problem of poor seismic limiting effect on pedestrian bridges in high-intensity areas. In the existing technology, the bridge piers limit the steel box beams through steel sleeves to prevent the steel box beams from falling off. This method achieves limiting by reserving a certain variable space, which can be used in areas with smaller amplitudes. However, in high-intensity areas, due to the frequent and high-intensity seismic activities in the area, the connection parts of the steel structure bridges will shake over a large range, and the existing technology cannot be effectively applied. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a steel structure pedestrian bridge limiting device in high-intensity areas, which has the advantages of good limiting effect of bridges in high-intensity areas, and solves the problem of poor seismic limiting effect of pedestrian bridges in high-intensity areas in the existing technology.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a steel structure pedestrian bridge limiter device for high-intensity areas, comprising a bridge body, wherein the inner bottom wall of the bridge body is provided with a connecting mechanism connected to the bridge limiter, and the lower surface of the connecting mechanism is provided with a limiting mechanism for limiting the pedestrian bridge in high-intensity areas;
[0007] The connecting mechanism includes a fixing plate fixed to the bottom wall of the bridge body, the upper surface of the fixing plate is provided with two card slots, the inner walls of the two card slots are plugged with card blocks, the lower surfaces of the two card blocks are vertically fixed with a plurality of fixing bolts, the outer sides of the plurality of fixing bolts are threadedly connected with locking nuts, and the outer sides of the plurality of fixing bolts are sleeved with connecting plates;
[0008] The limiting mechanism includes a snap-on frame fixed to the lower surface of the connecting plate, a top rubber buffer seat is fixed to the outer side of the snap-on frame, a hydraulic damper is fixed to the lower surface of the top rubber buffer seat, a bottom end of the hydraulic damper is fixed to the bottom rubber buffer seat, a skybridge support beam is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom rubber buffer seat, a buffer spring is movably sleeved on the outer side of the hydraulic damper, and both ends of the buffer spring are respectively fixed to the opposite sides of the top rubber buffer seat and the bottom rubber buffer seat.
[0009] Furthermore, the length of the connecting plate is equal to the length of the fixing pad, and the length of the clamping block is equal to the distance between the front and rear inner walls of the clamping slot.
[0010] Furthermore, a buffer pad is fixed to the lower surface of the two clamping blocks, and the length and width of the buffer pad are respectively equal to the length and width of the clamping block.
[0011] Furthermore, a mounting screw hole for inserting a fixing bolt is provided on one side of the bridge body opposite to the clamping block, and a connecting hole for inserting a fixing bolt is provided on the upper surface of the connecting plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the diameter of the locking nut is larger than the aperture of the connecting hole.
[0013] Furthermore, a dustproof cover is fixed between opposite sides of the top rubber buffer seat and the bottom rubber buffer seat, and the dustproof cover is located on the outside of the buffer spring.
[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the bottom rubber buffer seat is greater than the thickness of the top rubber buffer seat.
[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The limit device of the steel structure pedestrian bridge in this high-intensity area has a connection mechanism that is firmly connected to the bridge body through a fixed pad, and the coordinated use of slots and blocks provides a stable installation platform to adapt to different installation conditions and environmental changes. The use of fixing bolts and locking nuts further enhances the reliability of the connection and prevents loosening due to earthquakes or other external forces. In addition, the design of the connecting plate allows the limit mechanism to be easily installed and fixed, providing a solid foundation for the entire limit device. Through its precise and stable connection method, the overall seismic performance of the bridge structure is significantly improved, reducing the risk of structural damage under extreme conditions.
[0017] 2. The limiting device of the steel structure pedestrian bridge in this high-intensity area uses a buckle frame as the core of the limiting mechanism, which provides a solid fixing point, so that the top rubber buffer seat and the bottom rubber buffer seat can work together to absorb and buffer the impact of seismic force. The introduction of the hydraulic damper, through its controllable damping characteristics, further limits the displacement of the bridge and reduces the damage to the bridge structure caused by the earthquake. The elastic action of the buffer spring provides additional dynamic support for the bridge, enabling it to adapt to complex movements in earthquakes and reduce structural stress. In addition, the setting of the dustproof cover protects the internal components from the influence of the external environment and extends the service life of the limiting mechanism. Through its efficient buffering and limiting functions, it significantly improves the stability and safety of the bridge in the face of extreme conditions such as earthquakes, ensuring the safe passage of pedestrians and the long-term stable operation of the bridge.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0030] (1) First, fix the fixing pad 21 on the inner bottom wall of the overpass as the supporting base of the connecting mechanism 2.
