[0033] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, a welding method of a curved variable beam width continuous steel box girder structure comprises the following steps:

[0035] S1, the top plate 1 unit, the bottom plate 7 unit, the partition plate 3 unit and the web plate 4 unit are respectively pre-assembled and welded;

[0036] S2, measure the line and set up the ground tire;

[0037] S3, sequentially install the bottom plate 7 unit, the partition plate 3 unit, the web plate 4 unit and the top plate 1 unit on the ground tire to form the steel girder box body;

[0038] S4, disassemble the tire, check and correct the line shape of the steel girder box body.

[0039] The bottom plate 7 unit comprises a plurality of linear segment bottom plates 7 and arc segment bottom plates 7 connected end to end, the linear segment bottom plate 7 is a horizontal iron plate, and the arc segment bottom plate 7 is obtained by rolling the linear segment bottom plate 7 to a preset arc through a plate rolling machine,

[0040] The method of pre-assembling and welding the top plate 1 unit, the bottom plate 7 unit, the partition plate 3 unit and the web plate 4 unit respectively is:

[0041] ① The plate splicing sequence is longitudinal segment first horizontal joint and then longitudinal joint, transverse segment first longitudinal joint and then horizontal joint, small unit splicing first and then large unit splicing.

[0042] This welding sequence is in line with the characteristics that the longitudinal segment of the steel box girder mainly bears longitudinal force and the transverse segment mainly bears transverse force, so that the vehicle load is uniformly transmitted from the bridge deck plate to the longitudinal rib, longitudinal beam, transverse beam and support, and stress concentration is reduced during welding.

[0043] ② A field piece is reserved at the field butt joint position, the length of the field piece is 400mm, and the factory is not welded 200mm away from the two ends of the longitudinal rib except for the reserved field joint.

[0044] The positioning accuracy and flatness of the longitudinal ribs are ensured, the welding workload during on-site installation is reduced, the welding deformation is small, and the installation efficiency and product quality of the top, bottom and web plate 3 units are greatly improved.

[0045] ③The uppermost and lowermost longitudinal ribs on one side of the web plate 4 are left for assembly and welding during final assembly, and the middle two layers of longitudinal ribs are reserved for final assembly and patching at the position of the web plate 3.

[0046] The deformation is strictly controlled and reduced, the smooth installation of the web plate 4 unit and the web plate 3 unit during final assembly is ensured, the welding quality of the weld between the web plate 4 and the top and bottom plates 7 is improved, and the bending and shearing resistance of the web plate 4 is improved.

[0047] ④During the production of the top and bottom plate 7 unit, the welding of the longitudinal ribs and the top and bottom plates 7 is performed on the jig, the jig is arched according to the reverse deformation of 5%, the welding sequence is to weld the weld between the middle longitudinal ribs and the top and bottom plates 7 first, and then weld the weld between the edge longitudinal ribs and the top and bottom plates 7, and each two welds or four welds are welded in the same direction and flat position.

[0048] Since the longitudinal ribs of the top and bottom plates 7 are arranged on one side, the top and bottom plates 7 will be angularly deformed after welding, so the top and bottom plate 7 unit must be welded on the reverse deformation welding jig, the jig is arched according to the reverse deformation of 5%, and the welding shrinkage deformation of the top and bottom plates 7 is effectively controlled.

[0049] ⑤The welding sequence of the transverse stiffening of the web plate 3 unit is: a, first symmetrically welding the outer sides of the upper and lower two transverse stiffenings on one side, b, then symmetrically welding the outer sides of the upper and lower two transverse stiffenings on the other side, c, then symmetrically welding the inner sides of the upper and lower two transverse stiffenings on the same side, and d, finally symmetrically welding the inner sides of the upper and lower two transverse stiffenings on the other side, and the transverse stiffening is welded by using the solid mixed gas shielded welding semi-automatic trolley.

[0050] During the assembly process of the web plate 3 unit, the welding sequence of the transverse stiffening is reasonably arranged, symmetrically welding is used as much as possible, the workpiece is uniformly heated and shrunk on both sides, thereby reducing the deformation of the web plate 3 and effectively controlling the flatness of the web plate 3 unit.

[0051] ⑥During the production of the top and bottom plate 7 unit, part of the U ribs 2 does not pass through the web plate 3, is disconnected at the position of the web plate 3, and is welded with the web plate 3, and the U ribs 2 at this position of the top and bottom plate 7 unit need to reserve a patching section of 300mm-500mm long.

[0052] The web plate 3 is a main force component, the web plate 3 connects the top and bottom plates 7 to form an integral cross section to resist distortion under eccentric load and transverse bending deformation under vehicle load, maintain stable cross section shape, and provide elastic support for the longitudinal ribs of the top plate 1. In order to ensure the weld between the web plate 3 and the top and bottom plates 7 during final assembly, the web plate 3 and the top and bottom plates 7 are welded and inspected after completion, and then installed.

[0053] The method of erecting the ground tire is: setting the ground tire support point at the intersection of the center line of the steel box girder structure and the center line of the partition plate 3, the intersection of the center line of the web plate 4 and the center line of the partition plate 3, the intersection of the bottom plate 7 fold line and the center line of the partition plate 3, and the intersection of the outer edge line of the web plate 4 and the center line of the partition plate 3, erecting the H steel support under the ground tire support point, the support has a base at the bottom end, the relative position of the support and the base does not move up or sink, and two adjacent supports are connected through rigid bracing.

[0054] The method of step S3 for constituting the steel beam box body includes the following steps:

[0055] A1, welding the weld between the web plate 4 and the bottom plate 7;

[0056] A2, welding the weld between the partition plate 3 and the web plate 4;

[0057] A3, welding the weld between the partition plate 3 and the bottom plate 7;

[0058] A4, bottoming the weld between the web plate 4 and the top plate 1;

[0059] A5, bottoming the weld between the top plate 1 and the partition plate 3 on both sides;

[0060] A6, checking the interface misalignment and flatness;

[0061] A7, adjusting the bolted U rib 2 embedded section of the top plate 1 to ensure that all holes can be connected with the connecting plate using positioning pins, and checking the connection accuracy of the bolted U rib 2;

[0062] A8, welding and installing the lifting lug, and turning over the lifting lug.

[0063] ①Sequential installation of the bottom plate 7 unit, the partition plate 3, the web plate 4 unit, and the top plate 1 unit: welding the weld between the web plate 4 and the bottom plate 7 → welding the weld between the partition plate 3 and the web plate 4 → welding the weld between the partition plate 3 and the bottom plate 7 → bottoming the weld between the web plate 4 and the top plate 1 → bottoming the weld between the top plate 1 and the partition plate 3 on both sides

[0064] First, the weld between the web plate 4 and the bottom plate 7 is welded, and then the weld between the partition plate 3 and the web plate 4 is welded, through welding process control, the steel box girder is fully matched with the ground tire, and the vertical linear type of the steel bridge is ensured; after bottoming the weld between the web plate 4 and the top plate 1, the weld between the top plate 1 and the partition plate 3 on both sides is bottomed, the welding sequence reasonably controls the linear type of the planar direction circular arc line and the gentle curve of the steel box girder, thereby realizing the linear control of the overall structure of the bridge.

[0065] ②Before the roof 1 unit is made, the U rib 2 standard section is placed in the corresponding partition plate 3 U type rib slot hole. When the roof 1 unit is made, the U type rib standard section is not assembled. When the assembly is completed, the U rib 2 standard section is connected together by the connecting plate, the diagonal hole position of each surface is fixed by the pin, and the remaining hole position is randomly arranged two bolts, and the U rib 2 standard section is fixed firmly by the connecting plate. The welding seam between the positioning and reinforcing U rib 2 standard section and the roof 1 is welded after the bottom filling, and then the connecting plate is disassembled.

[0066] Due to the above method, the positioning accuracy and flatness of the U rib 2 are ensured, the welding deformation is small, the bending and torsional stiffness is large, the stability is good, the elastic performance is good, the fatigue resistance is good, and the method is suitable for structures bearing dynamic load. The positioning difficulty of the assembly and assembly is greatly reduced, the welding workload during the on-site installation is reduced, the operation is simple, and the assembly and installation time is saved.

[0067] The method for checking and correcting the line shape of the steel beam box body comprises the following steps:

[0068] B1, check the line type, the overall size of the bridge, the site opening error and the flatness before the bridge is finally delivered from the factory, and ensure that the on-site installation precision requirements are met;

[0069] B2, install the positioning plate, and the positioning plate is positioned and welded in groups;

[0070] B3, measure the positioning points of the real measurement and the data is used as the final installation positioning data.

[0071] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and does not limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
