Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bridge expansion joints, specifically, it relates to a bridge expansion device. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge expansion joints are an important product in civil engineering construction projects. Relevant standards and specifications in the engineering field require that the road surface steel of the expansion joints be a single piece, and welding points are not allowed within the lane area. This presents challenges for mass production of expansion joints, as factors such as product length and preset joint width are uncertain. Therefore, expansion joint products are customized and specific, meaning they must be designed and manufactured according to the design and construction requirements of a specific project. The existing production process generally follows: ③ Review of order requirements → ① Procurement of raw materials → ⑤ Finished expansion joints → ⑥ Delivery.

[0003] In terms of production organization, the construction unit's management of project progress and order plans differs from the product manufacturing unit's management of production plans, leading to risks of coordination difficulties and communication delays. Product production plans may be early or late, and to avoid resource waste from premature production, manufacturing units often begin production only upon receiving order requirements. Regarding product structure, common bridge expansion joints include several road surface steel sections, several waterstops, several connecting plates, and several reinforcing bars. After welding the reinforcing bars to the connecting plates, they are evenly distributed on the bottom or sides of the road surface steel sections and welded in place. The waterstops are embedded between the steel sections.

[0004] In practice, the existing production organization processes and product structures have the following problems:

[0005] Production cannot be planned in advance, making mass production impossible.

[0006] Due to the limited process cycle, the production of finished telescopic devices accounts for 95% of the total workload of the process. The tight production schedule and heavy workload result in long-term continuous rush work, fatigue production, and difficulty in ensuring quality.

[0007] Producing the entire telescopic device is not conducive to transportation and operation between work areas, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0008] The number of connecting plates and reinforcing bars is large, and they need to be positioned and welded one by one. This process takes a long time and is inefficient.

[0009] The integrity and stability of the product depend on the reliability of the welding between the connecting plate and the road steel. The weld is segmented, short and scattered, resulting in low weld strength, poor impact resistance, and easy deformation and detachment.

[0010] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a bridge expansion joint that solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0012] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0013] A bridge expansion joint includes: a road surface steel component, a plurality of temporary connecting plates disposed above the road surface steel component, a plurality of unequal angle steels welded to one side of the road surface steel component, a plurality of riveted connectors welded in a straight line below the unequal angle steels, and the temporary connecting plates and the unequal angle steels being connected by bolts and nuts.

[0014] In this embodiment, there are two side beam steel sections, several middle beam steel sections, and several environmentally friendly polymer waterstops. Grooves are provided on one side of the two side beam steel sections and on both sides of the several middle beam steel sections. The several middle beam steel sections are evenly distributed between the two side beam steel sections. The several environmentally friendly polymer waterstops are arranged between every two adjacent steel sections and embedded in the grooves on the upper part of the steel sections.

[0015] In this embodiment, the temporary connecting plate includes a U-shaped frame, with plates fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped frame, and through slots for bolt insertion are provided on opposite sides of the plates.

[0016] In this embodiment, the temporary connecting plate passes through the long side of the unequal angle steel on the opposite side, and several through holes corresponding to the positions of the through slots are evenly distributed near the edge; the nut is positioned and welded to the through hole shaft, and the bolt passes through the through hole and is threadedly connected to the nut.

[0017] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the unequal-sided angle steel is an L-shaped structure.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:

[0019] This invention modularizes and standardizes the riveting structure, which accounts for 70% of the production process of telescopic devices, enabling standardized and mass production. This not only effectively reduces the complexity and labor costs in the production process but also significantly improves production efficiency. In this way, the entire process from demand to delivery is drastically shortened, reducing related workload by up to 70%. This optimization effectively controls the time cost at each stage while improving the continuity and stability of the production line. Furthermore, the modular design significantly reduces repetitive work in the manufacturing process, greatly shortening the production cycle. Ultimately, this improvement not only accelerates the speed of finished product delivery but also improves delivery efficiency, allowing customers to receive high-quality telescopic devices more quickly, meeting market demands for efficient delivery and high-quality products.
