Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge structure construction, and more particularly to a rockfall protection device for a suspension bridge. BACKGROUND

[0002] The absolute height difference between the bridge plane and the distribution area of the dangerous rock of the deep canyon area is large, and the impact energy level of the rockfall is high. For example, if the dangerous rock falls, it will seriously threaten the safety of the bridge body and driving safety. The suspension bridge body will displace longitudinally under the temperature effect, displace up and down under the heavy load condition, and sway left and right under the canyon crosswind condition.

[0003] Traditional reinforced concrete sheds are generally built on open road cutting ground or in open foundation pits, and have certain requirements for the bearing capacity of the structure foundation. If the bridge deck is selected as the foundation, the bridge body needs a larger structure to meet the load requirements. If an independent foundation is selected, the construction and engineering cost are not economical, and the suspension bridge does not have foundation site conditions. Therefore, the traditional reinforced concrete shed is not suitable for rockfall protection of the suspension bridge, and cannot adapt to the longitudinal displacement, up and down displacement, and left and right sway displacement of the bridge body.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rockfall protection device for a suspension bridge, which can be used for rockfall protection of the suspension bridge and can adapt to the displacement requirements of the longitudinal displacement, up and down displacement, and left and right sway displacement of the bridge body. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a rockfall protection device for a suspension bridge, which can be used for rockfall protection of the suspension bridge and can adapt to the displacement requirements of the longitudinal displacement, up and down displacement, and left and right sway displacement of the bridge body.

[0006] The technical scheme provided by the present application is as follows:

[0007] A rockfall protection device for a suspension bridge comprises:

[0008] A flexible shed and a connecting assembly for connecting the flexible shed and the tunnel exit end face, the connecting assembly is provided at least three, and the connecting assembly is arranged along the width direction of the flexible shed;

The flexible shed hole is fixedly arranged on the bridge deck of the suspension bridge, and the connecting assembly is arranged between the flexible shed hole and the tunnel exit end face. The connecting assembly has at least three groups, and the connecting assemblies are arranged along the width direction of the bridge body.

It can be seen that, compared with the prior art, the rockfall protection device for the suspension bridge in the present application can be used for rockfall protection of the suspension bridge. The structure is simple, and can adapt to the displacement requirements of the longitudinal displacement, up-down displacement, and left-right yaw displacement of the bridge body.

[0041] The embodiments of this invention are written in a progressive manner.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a rockfall protection device for a suspension bridge, comprising: a flexible canopy 1 and connecting components 3 for connecting the flexible canopy 1 to the tunnel exit end face 2. At least three connecting components 3 are provided, and the connecting components 3 are spaced apart along the width direction of the flexible canopy 1. Each connecting component 3 includes: a steel pipe 31 mounted on the flexible canopy 1; a sliding rod 32 fitted inside the steel pipe 31 and slidably connected to the steel pipe 31, with a limiting plate 33 at one end of the sliding rod 32 away from the flexible canopy 1; and a connecting rod 34 connected to the tunnel exit end face 2.

A baffle 36 is provided at the opening to cooperate with the limiting plate 33 and to limit the axial displacement of the limiting plate 33.

[0043] Traditional reinforced concrete tunnel structures in existing technologies are generally built on open roadbed surfaces or in open foundation pits, which places certain demands on the bearing capacity of the structural foundation. If the bridge deck is chosen as the foundation, the bridge structure needs a larger structure to meet its load requirements. If an independent foundation is chosen, the construction and project cost are uneconomical. Therefore, traditional reinforced concrete tunnel structures are not suitable for rockfall protection of suspension bridges, and they cannot accommodate longitudinal, vertical, or lateral displacements of the bridge structure.

[0044] The rockfall protection device for the suspension bridge provided by the present application firstly is provided with a flexible shed tunnel 1 and a connecting assembly 3, wherein the flexible shed tunnel 1 is fixedly arranged on the bridge deck of the suspension bridge, the flexible shed tunnel 1 is connected with the tunnel exit end face 2 through the connecting assembly 3, and the connecting assembly 3 is arranged in the width direction of the bridge body and is spaced apart. Compared with the traditional reinforced concrete shed tunnel, the body of the flexible shed tunnel 1 is lighter in weight, can be directly fixed on the bridge body, and reduces the requirement for independent construction foundation. Due to the longitudinal displacement of the bridge body of the suspension bridge under the temperature effect, the up-down displacement of the bridge body under the heavy load condition, and the left-right yaw displacement of the suspension bridge under the canyon crosswind condition, the flexible shed tunnel 1 is prone to have differences during installation and construction, which increases the construction difficulty and construction risk of the flexible shed tunnel 1. The connecting assembly 3 provided by the present application comprises a steel pipe 31, a sliding rod 32 and a connecting rod 34, wherein the steel pipe 31 is fixedly arranged on the flexible shed tunnel 1, the sliding rod 32 is sleeved in the steel pipe 31 and is in sliding connection with the steel pipe 31, the sliding rod 32 slides in the steel pipe 31 to compensate the position when the suspension bridge has the left-right yaw displacement under the canyon crosswind condition, a limiting plate 33 is arranged at the end of the sliding rod 32 away from the flexible shed tunnel 1, the connecting rod 34 is connected with the tunnel exit end face 2, a hollow sleeve 35 is arranged on the connecting rod 34, a bottom plate 4 is arranged at the end of the sleeve 35 close to the connecting rod 34, an opening is arranged at the end of the sleeve 35 away from the connecting rod 34 for the limiting plate 33 to pass through, the sleeve 35 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 32, the limiting plate 33 extends into the sleeve 35 through the opening, a baffle 36 is arranged at the opening, the baffle 36 is used in cooperation with the limiting plate 33, the baffle 36 is used for limiting and restraining the axial position of the limiting plate 33, the sliding rod 32 can rotate in any direction relative to the connecting rod 34 in the sleeve 35 and can have up-down and lateral adjustment displacement in the sleeve 35, which meets the requirement that the bridge body of the suspension bridge has longitudinal displacement under the temperature effect and up-down displacement under the heavy load condition. It can be seen that, compared with the prior art, the rockfall protection device for the suspension bridge in the embodiment of the present application can be used for rockfall protection of the suspension bridge, has a simple structure, and can meet the displacement requirements of the longitudinal displacement, up-down displacement and left-right yaw displacement of the bridge body.

[0045] Furthermore, the protection capacity of the general traditional reinforced concrete shed tunnel is designed according to the energy level generated by 0.5 square stone falling from 1 m, and the protection energy level is about 12.5 Kj. At present, the design energy level of the flexible shed tunnel 1 is generally 100 kj-500 kj, and the protection energy level is much larger than that of the traditional reinforced concrete shed tunnel, and the protection effect is better.

[0046] In addition, each component of the flexible shed tunnel 1 is of an assembled structure, and the structural size is processed and customized in a factory, which is more efficient, and can solve the following problems in the construction process: the longitudinal displacement of the bridge body under the temperature effect, the up and down displacement of the bridge body under the same heavy load condition, and the left and right displacement of the bridge body under the canyon crosswind condition. The flexible shed tunnel 1 can appear construction errors in the assembly process.
