Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bridge expansion devices, and in particular to a multi-directional displacement combined bridge expansion device. Background Art

[0002] Bridge expansion joints are a crucial component of bridges. They are a general term for various devices, made of rubber and steel, installed at expansion joints to ensure smooth vehicle movement across the bridge deck and accommodate deformation of the bridge's superstructure. The performance of these devices directly impacts bridge and road safety.

[0003] Displacement boxes are also commonly used items in bridge expansion devices, but over time, the supporting beams in the displacement boxes are prone to falling out or getting stuck, causing the adjustment effect of the bridge expansion joint to fail.

[0004] Because the displacement boxes are located on both sides of the expansion joint, long-term unbalanced deformation will cause the expansion joint adjustment to fail.

[0005] Moreover, displacement boxes were previously mostly located in the field of modular bridge expansion joints, but were not used in the field of comb-tooth expansion joints.

[0006] Because, in order to ensure that the expansion joint is relatively evenly stressed during use and to avoid unbalanced deformation of the devices on both sides of the expansion joint, a new type of expansion joint device or a device that limits the displacement of the supporting beam is needed.
