Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In recent years, steel box girders have been increasingly used in bridge construction, especially in urban overpasses and cross-track bridges. Steel box girders are generally constructed by welding together top plates, bottom plates, webs, transverse diaphragms, longitudinal diaphragms, and stiffening ribs. They are typically manufactured in sections according to the bridge alignment in a factory and then transported to the site for installation using scaffolding. Since different bridges have varying installation heights, scaffolding with different segment heights is needed to meet installation requirements.

The telescopic bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 4 via pins 9. During installation, the strip foundation 1 is laid first, then the standard bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the strip foundation 1, then the fixed bracket 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the standard bracket 2, and finally the telescopic bracket 5 is installed on the standard bracket 2. The overall height of the bracket is adjusted by sliding the telescopic bracket 5. After adjustment, the telescopic bracket 5 is locked. The steel spreader beam 6 and jack 7 are installed on the telescopic bracket 5 in sequence. The installation elevation can be finely adjusted by adjusting the jack 7, the bracket height can be coarsely adjusted by sliding the telescopic bracket 5, and the bracket can be finely fixed by adjusting the jack 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the fixed bracket 4 has a plurality of first connecting holes 401, and the telescopic bracket 5 has a plurality of second connecting holes 501. The pin 9 passes through the first connecting hole 401 and the second connecting hole 501. After adjusting the height of the telescopic bracket 5, the pin 9 can be inserted into the first connecting hole 401 and the second connecting hole 501 to fix the telescopic bracket 5 on the fixed bracket 4, thereby completing the installation and height adjustment of the telescopic bracket 5.

The working platform 8 is provided with a notch, and the top of the ladder 3 is located directly below the notch. Construction workers can climb the ladder 3 to the notch and move to the working platform 8 through the notch to carry out construction on the working platform 8.
[0029] When installing the telescopic bracket 5, it is necessary to use hoisting equipment to fix the telescopic bracket 5 to the fixed bracket 4. It is also necessary to adjust the height of the telescopic bracket 5 according to the required height, and then insert the pin 9 into the first connecting hole 401 and the second connecting hole 501 for fixation. Adjusting the height of the telescopic bracket 5 using hoisting equipment is relatively difficult and affects the installation efficiency. Therefore, Embodiment 2 is provided.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, the steel spreader beam 6 is provided with an installation groove, an adjustment seat 10 is provided in the installation groove, the jack 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the adjustment seat 10, and a connecting shaft 11 is fixedly installed on both sides of the adjustment seat 10. The adjustment seat 10 is rotatably installed in the installation groove through the connecting shaft 11, and an adjustable support assembly is provided on the top of the working platform 8.
[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, the adjustable support assembly includes a support cylinder 12 and a support screw 13. The support cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the working platform 8. The bottom end of the support screw 13 extends into the support cylinder 12 and is threadedly connected to the support cylinder 12. A support seat 14 is rotatably installed on the top end of the support screw 13. The support seat 14 is located directly below the adjusting seat 10. When installing the telescopic bracket 5, the telescopic bracket 5 is first hoisted above the fixed bracket 4 using hoisting equipment. Then, the adjusting seat 10 is manually rotated so that the output end of the jack 7 faces the support seat 14. Then, the height of the adjusting seat 10 is adjusted by rotating the support screw 13 so that the adjusting seat 10 contacts the support plate 25 at the output end of the jack 7. Then, the output end of the jack 7 is controlled to extend or retract according to the required height of the telescopic bracket 5, so that the telescopic bracket 5 rises or falls. After adjusting to the required height, the pin 9 is inserted into the first connecting hole 401 and the second connecting hole 501 to fix the telescopic bracket 5 to the fixed bracket 4. Through the setting of this embodiment, the jack 7 can not only achieve fine adjustment of the overall bracket height, but also assist in the installation of the telescopic bracket 5, making the installation of the telescopic bracket 5 more convenient.
[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, the connecting shaft 11 has a through hole, and a fixing pin 26 is provided in the through hole. The fixing pin 26 passes through the steel spreader beam 6. By inserting the fixing pin 26 into the through hole, the connecting shaft 11 can be fixed so that the connecting shaft 11 cannot rotate, thereby locking the adjusting seat 10 and improving the stability of the adjusting seat 10.
[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, a handwheel 27 is fitted on the top of the support screw 13, which can rotate the support screw 13 to more conveniently adjust the height of the support screw 13.

The bottom wall of the adjusting seat 10 is provided with an adapter groove 1001, and the protrusion 16 is adapted to the adapter groove 1001. After the bracket is installed, the height of the reinforcing seat 15 and the protrusion 16 can be adjusted by rotating the support screw 13, so that the protrusion 16 is inserted into the adapter groove 1001, thereby providing auxiliary support to the bottom wall of the adjusting seat 10. On the one hand, this can prevent the adjusting seat 10 from rotating, thereby improving its firmness, and on the other hand, it can improve the compressive strength of the adjusting seat 10.
[0036] Example 3
[0037] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6In this embodiment of the invention, an installation ring 17 is fixedly installed at the top of the jack 7, the output end of the jack 7 passes through the installation ring 17, a sealing airbag 18 is provided inside the installation ring 17, the sealing airbag 18 is configured as an annular shape, the output end of the jack 7 passes through the sealing airbag 18, an air supply pipe 19 is connected to one side of the sealing airbag 18, an air supply mechanism is provided inside the adjusting seat 10, and the air supply mechanism is connected to the air supply pipe 19.
[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, the gas supply mechanism includes a cylinder 20, which is fixedly installed inside the adjusting seat 10. One end of the gas supply pipe 19 is connected to the top end of the cylinder 20. A piston 21 is slidably disposed inside the cylinder 20. A stopper rod 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the piston 21 and extends into the adapter groove 1001. A top plate 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the stopper rod 23. A spring 22 is disposed inside the cylinder 20, and the piston 21 is elastically connected to the top wall of the cylinder 20 through the spring 22. When the protrusion 16 is inserted into the adapter groove 1001, the protrusion 16 pushes the top plate 24 upward, and the top plate 24 moves upward. When activated, the piston 21 moves upward via the stopper rod 23, thereby inputting the gas in the cylinder 20 into the gas supply pipe 19, and then into the sealing air bag 18 through the gas supply pipe 19. This causes the sealing air bag 18 to expand, and after expansion, the sealing air bag 18 fits against the output end of the jack 7, thus sealing the output end of the jack 7. This prevents external dust from entering the jack 7 through the gap at the output end, thus preventing dust from affecting the stability of the jack 7's operation. With the above structure, the output end of the jack 7 can be sealed in time when the protrusion 16 is inserted into the adapter groove 1001, without the need for manual operation, making it more convenient to use.
[0039] Working principle: During installation, first, a strip foundation 1 is laid out, then a standard bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the strip foundation 1, then a fixed bracket 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the standard bracket 2, and finally, a telescopic bracket 5 is installed on the standard bracket 2. The overall height of the bracket is adjusted by sliding the telescopic bracket 5. After adjustment, the telescopic bracket 5 is locked. A steel spreader beam 6 and a jack 7 are installed on the telescopic bracket 5 in sequence. The installation elevation can be finely adjusted by adjusting the jack 7. When installing the telescopic bracket 5, the telescopic bracket 5 is first hoisted above the fixed bracket 4 using hoisting equipment. Then, the adjusting seat 10 is manually rotated so that the output end of the jack 7 faces the support seat 14. Then, the height of the adjusting seat 10 is adjusted by rotating the support screw 13 so that the adjusting seat 10 contacts the support plate 25 of the output end of the jack 7. Then, the output end of the jack 7 is controlled to extend and retract according to the required height of the telescopic bracket 5, thereby raising and lowering the telescopic bracket 5. After adjusting to the required height, the pin 9 is inserted into the first connecting hole 401 and the second connecting hole 402. The telescopic bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 4 through the two connecting holes 501. After the bracket is installed, the height of the reinforcing seat 15 and the protrusion 16 can be adjusted by rotating the support screw 13, so that the protrusion 16 is inserted into the adapter groove 1001, thereby providing auxiliary support to the bottom wall of the adjusting seat 10. This not only prevents the adjusting seat 10 from rotating, thus improving its firmness, but also improves the compressive strength of the adjusting seat 10. When the protrusion 16 is inserted into the adapter groove 1001, the protrusion 16 pushes the top plate 24. When the top plate 24 moves upward, it drives the piston 21 to move upward through the stopper rod 23, thereby inputting the gas in the cylinder 20 into the gas supply pipe 19, and then into the sealing air bag 18 through the gas supply pipe 19, thereby causing the sealing air bag 18 to expand. After the sealing air bag 18 expands, it fits against the output end of the jack 7, thereby sealing the output end of the jack 7 to prevent external dust from entering the interior of the jack 7 through the gap at the output end of the jack 7, and to prevent dust from entering the interior of the jack 7 and affecting its working stability.
