Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge erection machine construction technology, specifically to a bridge erection machine and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] A bridge erecting machine is a device that places prefabricated bridge beams onto prefabricated bridge piers.

[0003] Existing bridge erecting machines, such as the one disclosed in publication number CN203383148U, present an intra-span beam lifting device for precast small box girders. This device includes a main beam for the bridge erecting machine, with a front auxiliary support leg, a front support leg, and a middle support leg connected sequentially below the main beam. The main beam is positioned on the bridge abutment via these support legs. Two hoisting trolleys are connected above the main beam. The bridge erecting machine is mounted on the main beam. The span distance between the front outrigger and the middle outrigger of the bridge erecting machine is greater than the length of the span to be erected. The length of the span to be erected is the distance between the front cap beam and the rear cap beam. The construction method of prefabricated small box girder in the span only requires three steps: transportation of prefabricated small box girder → lifting and erection of small box girder. Compared with the traditional construction method, it reduces the steps of lifting to the bridge deck, transportation on the bridge deck, and feeding the girder. It does not require foundation treatment at the abutment or the installation of a lifting station in the span to be erected.

[0004] However, in situations where the bridge construction site is small and obstacles at the bridgehead affect the operation of the bridge erecting machine, the existing bridge erecting machine cannot extend forward to cross the span when erecting beams, making beam erection difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The main overhead crane lifted and moved the platform beam into place.

[0044] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages:

[0045] 1. The bridge erecting machine provided by this invention comprises a main beam and its longitudinally extending front and rear guide beams forming a large cantilever structure for feeding beams in the front and rear spans. The front and / or rear guide beams are detachably connected from several assembly units. During the bridge erection process, when faced with a narrow bridge construction site and obstacles at the bridge ends, the machine can first cross a span by passing through an empty pier. During the crossing process, the assembly units of the large cantilever structure near the obstacle end are dismantled section by section, allowing the bridge erecting machine to extend forward to the span adjacent to the obstacle. During the erection process, each set of the hoisting is lifted by a crane and temporarily suspended at staggered levels on the main beam. After each segment of the beam is hoisted into place, the hoisting is readjusted by the crane to determine the position of each segment, thereby adapting to the narrow bridge erection space. After the span adjacent to the obstacle is erected, the machine retreats to the next span, and during the retreat, the assembly units are installed section by section, thus enabling smooth beam erection.

[0046] 2. The bridge erecting machine provided by the present invention has a fourth leg that is connected to the ground track by a roller mechanism, which facilitates the longitudinal and / or lateral movement of the bridge erecting machine and helps to shorten the movement time of the bridge erecting machine. When the bridge erecting machine moves, the lifting mechanism retracts and suspends the machine while the roller mechanism switches to the ground state, so that the roller mechanism can roll along the ground track, which facilitates the fourth leg to support the movement of the bridge erecting machine. After the bridge erecting machine moves to the designated position, the lifting mechanism extends and touches the ground while the roller mechanism switches to the suspended state. After the lifting mechanism touches the ground, it is anchored to the ground or the bridge deck, so that the bridge erecting machine can operate stably.

[0047] 3. The construction method of the bridge erecting machine provided by this invention, when constructing segmental box girder under conditions of obstacles at the bridgehead, involves positioning the bridge erecting machine at the bridgehead through the span, so that the main girder is above the Nth span of the bridge. The main gantry crane lifts the segmental beams from below the front guide beam and erects the Nth span box girder. The bridge erecting machine crosses the span of the N+1 span of the bridge, so that the main girder is above the N+2 span of the bridge. During the crossing process, the front guide beam is dismantled section by section when encountering obstacles ahead. The main gantry crane lifts the segmental beams from below the rear guide beam and erects the N+2 span box girder. The bridge erecting machine retracts one span, so that the main girder is above the N+1 span of the bridge. During the retraction process, the front guide beam is installed section by section. The main gantry crane lifts the segmental beams from below the main girder and erects the N+1 span box girder. This allows the bridge erecting machine to extend forward through the span in narrow construction sites with obstacles at the bridgehead, successfully completing the girder erection.

[0080] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0081] Example 1

[0082] Combination Figures 1-22 As shown, the bridge erecting machine provided in this embodiment includes:

[0083] The main beam 10 has a front guide beam 11 and a rear guide beam 12 at its longitudinal ends, respectively. The front guide beam 11 and / or the rear guide beam 12 include several assembly units 130, and any two adjacent assembly units 130 can be detachably connected.

[0084] The main overhead crane 51 is movably mounted on at least one of the main beam 10, the front guide beam 11, and the rear guide beam 12;

[0085] Several sets of suspensions 20, one end of which is suspended and moved via the main crane 51 and is adapted to be selectively suspended on the main beam 10, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the segment beam. Any set of suspensions 20 is adapted to be suspended at staggered levels with adjacent suspensions 20 so that the segment beams are staggered with each other in the height direction.

[0086] The main crane 51 is adapted to drive the suspension 20 to move longitudinally, laterally, vertically, or rotate.

[0087] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the main beam 10 and its longitudinal ends, the front guide beam 11 and the rear guide beam 12, together form a large cantilever structure. This structure allows for the feeding of beams in the front and rear spans using a precast box girder construction method with empty piers and spans. This provides an alternative beam feeding method in case of obstacles in one or both directions or when the beam transport vehicle cannot pass due to site limitations. For better explanation and understanding, the guide beam located at the front end of the main beam along the construction direction is defined as the front guide beam, and the guide beam located at the rear end of the main beam along the construction direction is defined as the rear guide beam. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2As shown, the front guide beam 11 and / or the rear guide beam 12 include several assembly units 130. Any two adjacent assembly units 130 can be detachably connected by bolts. During the bridge erection process, when faced with a narrow bridge construction site and obstacles at the bridge end, the bridge can pass through a span by using an empty pier. During the span crossing, the assembly units 130 of the large cantilever structure near the obstacle end are dismantled section by section so that the bridge erection machine can extend forward to the span adjacent to the obstacle. After erecting the span adjacent to the obstacle, it can retreat to the next span and install the assembly units 130 section by section during the retreat, thus enabling the bridge erection to proceed smoothly.

[0088] Optionally, the front guide beam 11 and the rear guide beam 12 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the longitudinal direction of the main beam 10.

[0089] It should be noted that the bridge erecting machine of this invention adopts a symmetrical cantilever structure based on the large cantilever structure. Each set of hanging devices 20 and each segment beam can be detachably and fixedly connected via hangers and nuts. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 19 As shown, the suspension 20 is hoisted by a crane to symmetrically suspend and assemble each segment beam. Each set of suspension 20 is hoisted by the crane and temporarily suspended at staggered levels on the main beam 10 to reserve rotation space for the last segment beam in the middle. After each segment beam is hoisted into place, the suspension 20 is readjusted by the crane to accurately adjust the position of each segment beam, thus successfully solving the problem of limited space when erecting precast box girders.

[0090] In this embodiment, the main beam 10 and its longitudinal ends, the front guide beam 11 and the rear guide beam 12, together form a large cantilever structure for front and rear span beam feeding construction. The front guide beam 11 and / or the rear guide beam 12 are detachably connected from several assembly units 130. During the bridge erection process, when faced with a narrow bridge construction site and obstacles at the bridge ends, the large cantilever structure can be moved closer to the assembly unit 130 at the obstacle end during the span crossing process. The 30 sections are dismantled one by one to allow the bridge erecting machine to extend forward to the section adjacent to the obstacle. During the erection process, each set of the hanging 20 is hoisted by a crane and temporarily suspended at staggered levels on the main beam 10. After each section of the beam is hoisted into place, the hanging 20 is readjusted by the crane to determine the position of each section of the beam, thereby adapting to the narrow bridge erection space. After the section adjacent to the obstacle is erected, the machine retreats to the next section and installs the assembly unit 130 section by section during the retreat, so that the beam erection can be carried out smoothly.

[0091] Specifically, the bridge erecting machine also includes:

[0092] The first leg 31 is fixedly mounted on the front guide beam 11, and the first leg 31 is connected to the pier through the first false beam 41.

[0093] The second leg 32 is arranged longitudinally on the main beam 10 near the front guide beam 11, and the second leg 32 is connected to the pier through the second false beam 42.

[0094] The third leg 33 is arranged longitudinally on the main beam 10 near the rear guide beam 12, and the third leg 33 is adapted to be connected to the abutment;

[0095] The fourth leg 34 is fixedly mounted on the rear guide beam 12, and the fourth leg 34 is adapted to be supported on the ground or bridge deck.

[0096] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first support leg 31 can be fixedly connected to the front guide beam 11 by bolts. During the process of the empty pier passing through the hole, the first dummy beam 41 can be anchored to the front pier first, and then the first support leg 31 can be anchored to the first dummy beam 41. The second support leg 32 is movably disposed on the main beam 10. During the process of the empty pier passing through the hole, the second dummy beam 42 can be anchored to the abutment first, and then the second support leg 32 can be anchored to the second dummy beam 42. The third support leg 33 is movably disposed on the main beam 10. During the process of the empty pier passing through the hole, the third support leg 33 can be anchored to the abutment. The fourth support leg 34 can be bolted to the rear guide beam 12.

[0097] Specifically, the rear guide beam 12 includes:

[0098] The first fixing part 121 is disposed at one end of the rear guide beam 12 along the longitudinal direction near the main beam 10;

[0099] The second fixing part 122 is disposed at one end of the rear guide beam 12 that is longitudinally away from the main beam 10;

[0100] Either the first fixing part 121 or the second fixing part 122 is adapted to be fixedly connected to the fourth leg 34.

[0101] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the rear guide beam 12 has a first fixing part 121 and a second fixing part 122 at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The first fixing part 121 is disposed longitudinally close to the main beam 10, and the second fixing part 122 is disposed longitudinally away from the main beam 10. Please refer to [link to previous text]. Figures 10-12 As shown, when there are obstacles in front of the bridge construction, the fourth leg 34 can be fixedly connected to the second fixing part 122 of the rear guide beam 12, thereby providing support for the feeding beam under the bridge; please refer to Figures 13-20 As shown, when the bridge erecting machine is in normal operation, the fourth leg 34 can be fixedly connected to the first fixing part 121 of the rear guide beam 12.

[0102] Specifically, the fourth leg 34 is provided with a roller mechanism 341, and the fourth leg 34 is connected to the ground track by rolling through the roller mechanism 341; the fourth leg 34 is also provided with a lifting mechanism 342, and the lifting mechanism 342 switches the roller mechanism 341 between a suspended state and a grounded state by extending and retracting.

[0103] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the fourth support leg 34 is connected to the ground track by a roller mechanism 341, which facilitates the longitudinal and / or lateral movement of the bridge erecting machine and helps to shorten the movement time of the bridge erecting machine. When the bridge erecting machine moves, the lifting mechanism 342 retracts and suspends the machine, while the roller mechanism 341 switches to the ground state, allowing the roller mechanism 341 to roll along the ground track, which facilitates the fourth support leg 34 to support the movement of the bridge erecting machine. After the bridge erecting machine moves to the designated position, the lifting mechanism 342 extends and touches the ground, while the roller mechanism 341 switches to the suspended state. After the lifting mechanism 342 touches the ground, it is anchored to the ground or the bridge deck, so that the bridge erecting machine can operate stably. The lifting mechanism 342 can be configured as a hydraulic cylinder drive or a hydraulic jack drive, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and will not be described in detail here.

[0104] Specifically, a longitudinal movement mechanism 101 is provided between the second leg 32 and / or the third leg 33 and the main beam 10, and the second leg 32 and / or the third leg 33 push the main beam 10 to move longitudinally through the longitudinal movement mechanism 101;

[0105] A lateral movement mechanism 102 is provided between the second leg 32 and / or the third leg 33 and the main beam 10, and the second leg 32 and / or the third leg 33 push the main beam 10 to move laterally through the lateral movement mechanism 102.

[0106] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, longitudinal movement mechanisms 101 are provided between the second leg 32 and the main beam 10, and between the third leg 33 and the main beam 10. After the second leg 32 and / or the third leg 33 are anchored to the abutment and / or pier, the main beam 10 is pushed to move longitudinally by controlling the extension and retraction of the longitudinal movement mechanism 101; see also Figure 5As shown, a transverse movement mechanism 102 is provided between the second leg 32 and the main beam 10, and between the third leg 33 and the main beam 10. After the second leg 32 and / or the third leg 33 are anchored to the abutment and / or pier, the main beam 10 is pushed to move laterally by controlling the extension and retraction of the transverse movement mechanism 102. The longitudinal movement mechanism 101 and the transverse movement mechanism 102 can be configured to be driven by hydraulic cylinders, which will not be described in detail here.

[0107] Specifically, the suspension 20 includes a suspension rod 201 and a nut 202. The suspension rod 201 passes through the suspension hole of the box girder and is fixed by the nut 202.

[0127] Example 3

[0128] Combination Figures 13-20 As shown, this embodiment provides a construction method for a bridge erecting machine, which is used to meet the construction requirements for segmental box girder erection under normal construction conditions.

[0129] Specifically, after the bridgehead of the bridge erecting machine is in place, the beam transport vehicle feeds the beam from the rear of the bridge erecting machine, and the main overhead crane 51 lifts the box girder forward from the rear guide beam 12. The fourth support leg 34 is fixedly connected to the first fixing part 121 of the rear guide beam 12.

[0130] The construction method of the bridge erecting machine in this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0131] Step S1: The bridge erecting machine is positioned at the bridgehead, preparing for the empty pier to pass through the span. The first dummy beam 41 and the second dummy beam 42 are pre-installed on the bridge abutment P. o and bridge pier P m And anchor.

[0139] Example 4

[0140] Combination Figures 10-22 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a construction method for a bridge erecting machine to meet the requirements of beam erection construction.

[0141] It should be noted that beam-on-beam erection involves using precast beams that have already been erected to continue erecting precast beams on top of them. Specifically, the bridge structure has three-line beams on both sides and a platform beam in the middle. Since the platform beam is higher than the three-line beams, the beam-on-beam erection method must be used for construction. The erection of the three-line beams is similar to the specific principles and steps in Embodiments 2 and 3, and will not be repeated here.

[0142] Specifically, the construction method of the bridge erecting machine also includes beam erection on the beam, which includes:

[0143] The bridge erecting machine spans two completed three-line beams and positions itself on the beam surface;

[0144] The beam transport vehicle transports the platform beam to the bridge site along the beam surface passage;

[0145] The main overhead crane 51 hoisted and moved the platform beam into place.

[0146] Optionally, the main crane 51 is driven by a lateral movement drive mechanism 512 to lift the platform beam into position.

[0147] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
