[0004] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: This invention, by setting reinforcing ribs and irregularly shaped ribs, can ensure the strength of bridge expansion joints. It has a simple, robust, and durable structure, and can solve the problem of thermal expansion and contraction deformation of highway bridges caused by changes in ambient temperature. It is widely used in various highway bridges. This invention can significantly shorten the construction period, reducing the original minimum curing period of 7 days to the current "morning construction, evening opening" capability, greatly shortening the traffic cycle. The exposed concrete method saves on steel material costs and reduces weight while maintaining the overall product performance advantages. During exposed concrete construction, the product, quick-repair material, and existing concrete adhere more tightly, resulting in stronger compatibility and integrity. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0009] In the description of the embodiments of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationships commonly used when the product is in use. These are merely for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0010] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," not that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
