Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bridge ladder engineering, in particular to a ladder structure for bridges with large height differences. Background Art

[0002] Large river-crossing bridges, constrained by boundary conditions such as navigation and flood control, often require a significant height difference between the bridge deck and riverside roads. Traditional river-crossing bridge designs primarily prioritize vehicular traffic, neglecting pedestrian access. The lack of access stairs forces pedestrians to travel long distances, creating significant inconvenience. To improve the user-friendliness of bridges, newly constructed bridges often incorporate access stairs at the bridgeheads, and existing bridges also require additional access stairs.

[0003] Traditional bridge stairways primarily utilize straight or spiral stairways. Straight stairways are long, occupy a large area, and have a high number of piers. This increases the potential for conflict with underground structures and pipelines, resulting in insufficient structural integrity and relatively poor economic and aesthetic appeal. Spiral stairways, while occupying a relatively small area, have a relatively low traffic volume, and the spiraling path can easily cause dizziness for pedestrians, making them less comfortable to use.

[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Example:

[0037] like Figure 1-10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a ladder structure for a bridge with a large height difference, comprising a foundation system 1, a frame system 2, a step system 3 and a protection system 4. The frame system 2 is connected to the top of the foundation system 1. Both the frame system 2 and the step system 3 are steel structures.

[0038] The frame system 2 is composed of a supporting column 2-1, a truss ladder beam 2-2, a platform cantilever beam 2-3, a cross beam 2-4 and a node module 2-5. The node module 2-5 is composed of a node block 2-5-1 and a connecting block 2-5-2 fixedly welded into one body. The connecting block 2-5-2 is a cross-shaped structure including four connecting heads. The node block 2-5-1 is a Y-shaped structure consisting of two connecting ends and a base end. The node block 2-5-1 has an arc transition between the two connecting ends. The base end of the node block 2-5-1 is welded and fixed to one of the connecting heads of the connecting block 2-5-2. The two corresponding connecting ends of the truss ladder beam 2-2 and the node block 2-5-1 are welded into a triangular truss and three frames are arranged in parallel. The supporting columns 2-1 are welded between the connecting heads of the upper and lower connecting blocks 2-5-2 corresponding to the two outer triangular trusses. The supporting columns 2-1 are subjected to vertical force. According to the height difference of the bridge, the number and length of the supporting columns 2-1 are modularly adjusted. A crossbeam 2-4 is fixedly welded at the connection head of the node blocks 2-5-1 and the connecting blocks 2-5-2 at the same height of the three triangular trusses, which are away from the node blocks 2-5-1 on the side. A platform cantilever beam 2-3 is welded to the connecting blocks 2-5-2 at both ends on the other side of the crossbeam 2-4 away from the node blocks 2-5-1. The platform cantilever beam 2-3 is in an E-shaped structure. The beam height of the platform cantilever beam 2-3 gradually changes from the connection to the cantilever end. The end of the platform cantilever beam 2-3 is welded to the crossbeam 2-4 and the two connecting blocks 2-5-2 in a sun shape. The platform cantilever beam 2-3 is located at each node block 2-5-1 corresponding to the triangular truss to form a spatial multi-layer structure. The three parallel truss ladder beams 2-2 on the uppermost side are welded to the two connecting blocks 2-5-2 on the uppermost side and the crossbeam 2-4 between the connecting blocks 2-5-2.

[0039] The step system 3 includes a step stairway and a turning viewing platform. The step stairway includes a pedestrian tread 3-1, and the turning viewing platform includes a platform board 3-3. The pedestrian tread 3-1 is laterally fixedly connected between the truss stairway beams 2-2 on both sides. The platform board 3-3 is welded to the platform cantilever beam 2-3 and the cross beam 2-4. The top surface of the pedestrian tread 3-1 is lower than the top surface of the truss stairway beams 2-2 on both sides. The pedestrian tread 3-1 is supported by the truss stairway beams 2-2, making the step system 3 light and stable.

The pile foundations 1-1 are used to support the upper load. By reducing the number of pile foundations 1-1, the overall permeability of the lower side is improved.

[0044] The column base anchoring system 1-3 includes a column base anchor bolt 1-3-2 and a positioning steel plate 1-3-4. The column base anchor bolt 1-3-2 is L-shaped and its horizontal part is pre-buried inside the pile foundation 1-1 and positioned by the positioning steel plate 1-3-4. The horizontal part of the column base anchor bolt 1-3-2 is away from the center position of the pile foundation 1-1.

[0045] There are two positioning steel plates 1-3-4. The positioning steel plate 1-3-4 on the lower side is pre-embedded in the pile foundation 1-1 and is connected and fixed to the four connecting blocks 2-5-2 distributed in a rectangular shape on the lower side through the supporting column 2-1. The positioning steel plates 1-3-4 on the upper side are distributed on the upper side of the pile foundation 1-1. The column foot anchor bolts 1-3-2 pass through the lower side wall of the supporting column 2-1 and are connected to the high-strength bolts 1-3-1 on the upper side of the lower side wall of the supporting column 2-1. The outer side of the upper positioning steel plate 1-3-4 and the lower end of the supporting column 2-1 is provided with epoxy mortar 1-3-3 for sealing. The epoxy mortar 1-3-3 is used to prevent water accumulation and rust at the column foot anchoring system 1-3.

[0046] The protection system 4 also includes a railing handrail 4-2, which is fixedly connected to the top of the railing column 4-1 and has a lighting component installed on the inside to meet the lighting function.

[0047] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
