Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge pier construction technology, specifically to a reinforcement mechanism for deep-water bridge piers and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] Bridges are a vital component of transportation. The safety requirements for bridge piers are particularly high, especially in mountainous areas, deep water, or lakes. With increasing traffic pressure, the number of damaged bridge piers in deep water and lake locations is rising rapidly. Bridge piers are a crucial part of bridges, bearing enormous loads. During use, they are affected by environmental and other factors, making them prone to insufficient load-bearing capacity and decreased seismic performance. Therefore, reinforcement is necessary to ensure bridge safety. Based on this, this invention designs a reinforcement mechanism and its application method suitable for deep-water bridge piers to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reinforcement mechanism and its method for use suitable for deep-water bridge piers, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a reinforcement mechanism suitable for deep-water bridge piers, comprising a support sleeve, wherein the bridge pier passes through the interior of the support sleeve, the support sleeve is composed of two half sleeves, a connecting mechanism is provided between the support sleeve and the bridge pier, and a gravity block is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the bridge pier.

[0005] The connecting mechanism includes a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, a connecting block, and a connecting pipe. The first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are spliced ​​together to form a ring, and they both contact the outer surface of the pier. The connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting plate. The first connecting plate is inserted into the inside of the second connecting plate through the connecting block. The connecting pipe is fixedly inserted through the inside of the second connecting plate and extends into the space between the support sleeve and the pier.

[0006] Preferably, the support sleeve is provided with a reinforcement mechanism on its exterior, which includes reinforcing ribs, threaded limiting holes and fixing screws.

[0007] Preferably, the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support sleeve, and the threaded limiting hole is opened inside the support sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing screw passes through the inside of the threaded limiting hole, and there are four reinforcing ribs, of which two opposite reinforcing ribs are in a separate combination form, and the threaded limiting hole and the fixing screw are located inside the separate combination form of the reinforcing ribs.

[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the support sleeve is provided with a ground gripping mechanism, which includes a base, a reinforcing rod, a gripping rod, and a hinge.

[0010] Preferably, the base is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the support sleeve, and the reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the base.

[0011] Preferably, the gripping rods are connected to the reinforcing rod via hinges, and the two gripping rods are connected to one reinforcing rod.

[0012] A method for using a reinforcement mechanism suitable for deep-water bridge piers includes the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: First, fix the gravity block to the lower end of the bridge pier, and then bury the bridge pier deep in the water.

[0014] Step 2: Combine the two support halves into a support sleeve and fix it to the outside of the pier by using the threaded limiting hole and fixing screw. At the same time as the combination, the connecting plate 1 is inserted into the inside of the connecting plate 2 through the connecting block. The connecting plate 1 and the connecting plate 2 can be combined.

[0015] Step 3: While installing the support sleeve, bring the base into contact with the bottom of the water and insert the reinforcing rod into the bottom of the water. With the action of the grabbing rod, the mud at the bottom of the water can be grabbed to ensure the stability of the support sleeve installation. Then, the support sleeve can be used to stabilize the bridge pier. With the action of the hinge, it can be convenient to install the reinforcing rod while preventing it from detaching from the bottom soil layer. This makes the installation of the support sleeve easier for the staff and also ensures the stability of the support sleeve, which is quite practical.

[0016] Step 4: By using a liquid level sensor installed between the support sleeve and the pier, the water level in the space between the support sleeve and the pier is detected. The information is then fed back to the controller, which drives a water pump to extract and discharge the water between the support sleeve and the pier through the connecting pipe. This avoids water damage to the pier, better ensures the integrity and service life of the pier, and eliminates the need for manual maintenance, thus realizing the automatic maintenance function of the device, which is quite practical.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] While installing the support sleeve, the base is brought into contact with the bottom of the water, and the reinforcing rod is inserted into the bottom of the water. With the action of the grabbing rod, the mud on the bottom of the water can be grabbed to ensure the stability of the support sleeve installation. Then, the support sleeve can be used to stabilize the bridge pier. With the action of the hinge, it can be convenient to install the reinforcing rod while preventing it from detaching from the bottom soil layer. This makes it convenient for workers to install the support sleeve, while also ensuring the stability of the support sleeve. It also has a certain seismic performance and is quite practical.

[0019] By installing a liquid level sensor between the support sleeve and the pier, the water level in the space between the support sleeve and the pier is detected. The information is then fed back to the controller, which drives a water pump to extract and discharge the water between the support sleeve and the pier through a connecting pipe. This avoids water damage to the pier, better ensuring the integrity and service life of the pier. Moreover, it does not require active maintenance by personnel, realizing the automatic maintenance function of the device, which is quite practical.
