Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a foundation structure of a platform fence. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, railway companies have been installing platform fences on station platforms to prevent station users from falling onto the tracks, with the aim of improving safety for all station users, including the visually impaired (see, for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 below).

[0003] When installing this type of platform fence on a platform, it is common for the platform to bear the fence's own weight and all horizontal loads, but since platform fences are large installations weighing over 400 kg per fence, it becomes necessary to reinforce the platform side.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-158879 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-143449 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-054572 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, there are a wide variety of platform types, and when it comes to installing platform fences, it takes a lot of time and money to investigate the structure of the existing platform, the design conditions of surrounding structures, and the structural conditions for placement, so there is a need to reduce these costs and shorten the construction period.

[0006] Furthermore, platform reinforcement work and platform fence installation work are generally outsourced to different contractors, which means that preliminary surveys and measurements are carried out for both the platform reinforcement work and the platform fence installation work, resulting in unnecessary work processes.In addition, it takes time to coordinate the work processes between contractors, which lengthens the overall construction period and increases project costs.

[0007] The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to make it possible to install platform fences without carrying out civil engineering work to reinforce the platform, and to have the platform fence installation contractor undertake the entire construction work, thereby avoiding duplication of preliminary investigations and surveying, etc., and schedule adjustments between contractors, thereby shortening the overall construction period and reducing project costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention is a foundation structure for installing a platform fence on a platform where the upper part of the platform is overhanging and there is free space below it, The platform fence is provided with a through hole drilled at the installation position of the platform fence above the platform, and a foundation support pillar erected at the bottom of the empty space directly below the through hole and having a top that passes through the through hole and reaches the top surface of the platform, and the platform fence is installed on the top of the foundation support pillar to support it without placing a load on the platform side, The foundation support is divided into a lower pillar that stands upright and is fixed to the bottom of the empty space, and an upper pillar that is inserted from above into a through hole in the top of the platform and fitted into the lower pillar, and the side of the upper pillar is equipped with a hanging device that determines the insertion position relative to the lower pillar, and the hanging device is equipped with an angle adjustment mechanism that can set the inclination attitude of the upper pillar relative to the lower pillar.

[0009] Furthermore, in the foundation structure of the platform fence of the present invention, it is preferable that the hanging devices are formed by angle bars attached to at least one pair of opposing side surfaces of the upper pillar, and that an angle adjustment mechanism is provided so that the inclined posture can be set by bolting each of the angle bars to a vertically oriented long hole on the upper pillar side.

[0010] In the case of a platform with an embankment specification, the open space may be secured by removing the embankment so that the top of the platform has an overhanging shape. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the platform fence foundation structure of the present invention, the platform fence can be supported in a way that does not place a load on the platform side, so that the platform fence can be installed without carrying out civil engineering work to reinforce the platform. In addition, by having the platform fence installation contractor undertake the entire construction work, it is possible to avoid overlapping preliminary investigations and surveying, etc., and schedule adjustments between contractors, so the overall construction period can be greatly shortened and project costs can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, even if the platform is tilted in the longitudinal direction, the angle adjustment mechanism of the hanging device can be used to set the tilt attitude of the upper pillar relative to the lower pillar, so this can be handled, and various other excellent effects can be achieved, such as the ability to support platform fences at a variety of sites without hindrance.

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] Figures 1 to 13 show one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 1 shows the completed state of this embodiment, which explains the basic structure for installing platform fences 2 on a platform 1 of a railway company station to prevent station users from falling onto the tracks. In particular, this embodiment is intended to be applied to a site where the platform 1 is slightly inclined in its longitudinal direction (the left-right direction based on the top and bottom in the illustration of Figure 1).

[0015] First, the foundation structure of the platform fence 2 in this embodiment is applicable to a platform 1 in which the upper part 3 of the platform has an overhanging shape (see the side cross-sectional view of Figure 2) and there is an empty space 4 below it, and is provided with a through hole 5 drilled at the installation position of the platform fence 2 in the upper part 3 of the platform, and a foundation support 6 which is erected at the bottom of the empty space 4 directly below the through hole 5 and has a top which passes through the through hole 5 and reaches the top surface of the platform 1, and the platform fence 2 is installed on the top of the foundation support 6 and is supported so as not to place a load on the platform 1 side.

[0016] More specifically, the foundation support 6 is divided into a lower pillar 7 that is fixed to the bottom of the empty space 4 and stands upright, and an upper pillar 8 that is inserted from above into the through hole 5 in the upper part of the platform 3 and fitted into the lower pillar 7, and an angle iron 19 is provided on the side of the upper pillar 8 as a hook that determines the insertion position relative to the lower pillar 7, and the angle iron 19 is attached with an angle adjustment mechanism 23 (see Figure 10) described later, so that the inclination posture of the upper pillar 8 relative to the lower pillar 7 can be set.

[0017] The platform fence 2 in this embodiment is itself a conventionally well-known type, and is composed of a movable fence 9 that opens and closes left and right in conjunction with the opening and closing of the train's boarding and alighting doors, and a fixed fence 10 that forms a door pocket structure to house the movable fence 9 and incorporates the drive mechanism and control mechanism for the movable fence 9, and the platform fence 2 is installed by supporting the fixed fence 10 with the foundation support 6.

[0018] The process of installing platform fence 2 as shown in Figure 1 will be explained in order below using Figures 2 to 12. As mentioned above, the platform 1 shown in Figures 2 to 12 has a structure in which the upper part of the platform 3 has an overhanging shape, and below this there is secured an empty space 4. In the case of a platform 1 with an embankment specification, it is possible to secure the empty space 4 by removing the embankment so that the upper part of the platform 3 has an overhanging shape.

[0019] First, in installing the platform fence 2 on the platform 1 in this embodiment, the first step is to determine the installation position of the platform fence 2 on the upper part of the platform 3 by surveying and marking it out, as shown in Figure 2, and then, based on the marked out positions, drill a plurality of through holes 5 aligned in the longitudinal direction of the platform 1 (the direction perpendicular to the drawing in Figure 4), as shown in Figure 3. Of course, these through holes 5 are closed with core caps 11 or the like to ensure safety during the construction period.

[0020] After drilling the through holes 5 in this manner, as shown in Figure 4, base mortar 13 is piled on the lower part of the platform 12 at the bottom of the empty space 4 directly below the through holes 5, and the heights of the base mortar 13 that will be lined up in the longitudinal direction of the platform 1 (the direction perpendicular to the drawing in Figure 4) are adjusted so that they are all at the same level and allowed to cure, while adhesive anchors are applied around the periphery of each base mortar 13 to fix anchor bolts 14 (fully threaded, etc.).

[0021] Next, as shown in Figure 5, the lower columns 7 are installed upright on each of the base mortar 13, and the periphery of the base plate 7a at the lower end of the lower columns 7 is temporarily tightened using the anchor bolts 14. Thereafter, as shown in Figure 6, the upper columns 8 are inserted from above into the through holes 5 in the upper part of the platform 3 and fitted into the lower columns 7. Next, as shown in Figure 7, the upper columns 8 are temporarily tightened using the adjustment bolts 15 provided in the middle of the lower columns 7 to connect the two, and the lower columns 7 and upper columns 8 form the foundation support 6.

[0022] As shown in the plan view of Figure 8, the adjustment bolts 15 are screwed into each of the four side surfaces of the middle part of the lower pillar 7, and by tightening these adjustment bolts 15, the upper end of the upper pillar 8 (the top of the foundation support 6) is fixed so that it is flush with the top surface of the platform 1, while by increasing or decreasing the degree of tightening of the opposing pairs of adjustment bolts 15, the horizontal position of the upper pillar 8 relative to the lower pillar 7 can be fine-tuned.

[0023] Here, when inserting the upper pillar 8 from above into the through-hole 5 in the top of the platform 3 and fitting it into the lower pillar 7, this is done using a removable temporary handle 16 attached to the top end of the upper pillar 8, and the temporary handle 16 is removed after the adjustment bolt 15 has been temporarily tightened. Before the adjustment bolt 15 is temporarily tightened, the verticality of the foundation pillar 6 is confirmed using a spirit level 17 (see Figure 7) or the like.

[0024] 9, an adjustment jig 18 that imitates the mounting portion at the lower end of the platform fence 2 is used to temporarily assemble the top of the foundation support pillar 6 exposed on the top surface of the platform 1 from the through-hole 5 to the adjustment jig 18, and the vertical and horizontal positions of the upper pillar 8 relative to the lower pillar 7 are finely adjusted so that the mounting points of both are properly aligned, and once the position is determined, the adjustment bolts 15 are finally tightened. At this time, the foundation support pillar 6 stands with its top loosely fitted into the through-hole 5, and stands on its own in a state completely separated from the platform 1 side.

[0025] In addition, before or after the final tightening of each adjustment bolt 15, angle irons 19 are bolted to each of a pair of side surfaces of the upper pillar 8 that face each other in the width direction of the platform 1 (left and right direction in the drawing of Figure 9), and the angle irons 19 serve as hooks for determining the insertion position of the upper pillar 8 relative to the lower pillar 7.

[0026] That is, the insertion position of the upper pillar 8 is determined by hooking the protruding piece portion 19a of each angle iron 19 onto the upper edge of the lower pillar 7, but as shown in Figure 10, an enlarged view of the angle iron 19 from the front, each angle iron 19 is fixed by bolting its mounting piece portion 19b into a vertically oriented elongated hole 20 on the upper pillar 8 side, so that by fine-tuning the fastening position within the range of the elongated hole 20, the protruding piece portion 19a of each angle iron 19 can be reliably aligned along the upper edge of the lower pillar 7.

[0027] In this case, the bolt holes 21 on the mounting piece portion 19b side of each angle iron 19 are of course of a normal circular shape, but the bolts used to fasten them are one-sided bolts 22 that can be fastened simply by tightening them from the outside.

[0028] In addition, not only can the height position of each angle iron 19 be adjusted by adjusting the fastening position within the range of the vertically oriented long hole 20 on the upper column 8 side, but it is also possible to adjust the inclination of each angle iron 19 by individually changing the height of multiple fastening positions on the protruding piece portion 19a of each angle iron 19.

[0029] That is, the angle iron 19 is fitted with an angle adjustment mechanism 23 consisting of two bolt holes 21 on the angle iron 19 side, two elongated holes 20 opening vertically on the upper pillar 8 side, and two one-side bolts 22, and this angle adjustment mechanism 23 adjusts the inclination of the angle iron 19, making it possible to set the inclined posture of the upper pillar 8 relative to the lower pillar 7.

[0030] Once the alignment of the foundation support 6 has been completed as described above, as shown in Figure 11, grout is injected into the cavity in the lower column 7 through the hole on the upper column 8 side as a rust prevention measure, and once the grout injection is complete, the anchor bolt 14 is tightened and the adjustment jig 18 is removed.Next, as shown in Figure 12, grout is injected into the gap below the base plate 7a at the lower end of the lower column 7, and grout is also injected into the gap between the through hole 5 and the upper column 8.

[0031] Once the foundation support 6 has been erected as described above, as shown in Figure 13, the fixed fence 10 of the platform fence 2 is attached to the top of the foundation support 6 exposed on the top surface of the platform 1 by bolting or the like, so that it is supported so as not to place a load on the platform 1 side, and the installation of the platform fence 2 is completed.

[0032] In this way, the platform fence 2 can be attached to the top of the foundation support pillar 6, which stands on its own while being completely separated from the platform 1, and the platform fence 2 can be supported so that no load is transmitted to the platform 1. This eliminates the need to reinforce the platform 1 when installing the platform fence 2, and enables the installer of the platform fence 2 to undertake the entire work. As a result, there is no longer any need to waste time on the duplicate preliminary investigations and surveys, etc., that were previously required for the platform 1 reinforcement work and the platform fence 2 installation work, and there is also no need to coordinate processes between contractors.

[0033] In addition, the inclination of the angle iron 19 can be adjusted using an angle adjustment mechanism 23, and the inclination posture of the upper pillar 8 relative to the lower pillar 7 can be set using the angle iron 19. Therefore, even if the platform 1 is inclined in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to support the platform fence 2 in accordance with that inclination.

[0034] Therefore, according to the above embodiment, the platform fence 2 can be supported so as not to place a load on the platform 1 side, so that the platform fence 2 can be installed without carrying out civil engineering work to reinforce the platform 1, and by having the platform fence 2 installation contractor undertake the entire construction work, it is possible to avoid duplication of preliminary investigations and surveying, etc., and schedule adjustments between contractors, so that the overall construction period can be greatly shortened and project costs can be significantly reduced.Moreover, even if the platform 1 is tilted in the longitudinal direction, the angle adjustment mechanism 23 of each angle iron 19 can be used to set the tilt attitude of the upper pillar 8 relative to the lower pillar 7, so that the platform fence 2 can be supported without hindrance at a variety of construction sites.

[0035] Furthermore, the basic structure of the platform fence of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made within the scope that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention.
