Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the research field of marine engineering structure disaster prevention and mitigation technology, and in particular relates to a sea-crossing bridge pier anti-collision device. Background Art

[0002] Cross-sea bridges refer to bridges across the sea, such as straits and bays. Piers are the main support of bridges. Bridges are built because they cross rivers, facilitate connections between the two sides, and shorten road mileage. At the same time, the development of the waterway transportation industry has also led to an increase in the number and tonnage of ships. These two factors increase the probability of ships hitting bridges, threatening the safety of bridges and the lives of people on the bridge. Ships passing under the bridge often collide with bridge piers due to darkness at night, heavy fog, or operational errors by ship drivers. In order to prevent the piers from being damaged by the collision of ships, cross-sea bridges need to use wave-proof and anti-collision piers.

[0003] Most of the existing anti-collision devices for cross-sea bridge piers are fixed and do not have the function of rotating or adjusting direction. As a result, when encountering strong currents or waves, these protective devices cannot effectively dissipate the huge energy brought by the direct impact of the water flow on the pier structure. The huge radial impact force will directly act on the pier structure itself. Long-term accumulation may cause damage to the pier, accelerate corrosion, and even affect the overall safety and stability of the bridge. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 10 The present invention discloses a cross-sea bridge pier anti-collision device, comprising: a plurality of buffer protection structures 2, the plurality of buffer protection structures 2 are coaxially sleeved on the outside of the pier 1, and the plurality of buffer protection structures 2 are evenly and evenly spaced along the axis direction of the pier 1;

[0037] The outer side of each buffer protection structure 2 is movably connected to a fixed ring structure 4 through a retractable sliding structure 3. The fixed ring structure 4 can move on the horizontal plane where the buffer protection structure 2 is located. The outer sides of several fixed ring structures 4 are vertically slidably connected to the same wave-proof and anti-collision structure 5. The top surface of the wave-proof and anti-collision structure 5 is fixedly connected to one end of several adaptive guide structures 6. The other end of the adaptive guide structure 6 is slidably connected to the auxiliary protection structure 7. The auxiliary protection structure 7 is coaxially sleeved on the top of the pier 1.

[0038] The fixed ring structure 4 and the adaptive guiding structure 6 can perform rotational motion along the axis of the pier 1 .

[0039] The cross-section of the pier 1 may be circular, elliptical or other shapes, and the size of the specific structure may be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the pier 1 , and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0040] According to a further optimized solution, the buffer protection structure 2 includes a buffer ring 201 , which is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the pier 1 , and a buffer groove 202 is coaxially opened on the outer side of the buffer ring 201 , and one end of the telescopic sliding structure 3 is slidably connected inside the buffer groove 202 .

[0041] The buffer ring 201 can be polyurethane (PU) foam, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) foam, rubber material, polyurethane elastomer, high-strength fiber composite material, etc. The present invention preferably uses polyurethane elastomer so that the buffer ring 201 has the necessary strength and durability while maintaining softness.

[0042] A further optimized solution is that the retractable sliding structure 3 includes an arc-shaped slider 301, which is slidably connected to the inside of the buffer groove 202, and the end of the arc-shaped slider 301 away from the buffer groove 202 is hinged with the retractable structure 302, and the end of the retractable structure 302 away from the arc-shaped slider 301 is hinged to the fixed ring structure 4.

[0043] A further optimized solution is that the telescopic structure 302 includes a sleeve 3021 hinged to the arc-shaped slider 301, and a through hole 3024 is opened at one end of the sleeve 3021 away from the arc-shaped slider 301. A sleeve rod 3022 is slidably connected in the through hole 3024. The sleeve rod 3022 is hinged to the fixed ring structure 4, and a buffer spring 3023 is fixed between the sleeve rod 3022 and the sleeve 3021.

[0044] According to a further optimization scheme, the fixed ring structure 4 includes a first fixed ring 401 hinged to the sleeve rod 3022, and a plurality of clamping rings 402 are coaxially fixed to the outer side of the first fixed ring 401. The plurality of clamping rings 402 are circumferentially evenly spaced, and the plurality of clamping rings 402 are vertically slidably connected to the wave-proof and collision-proof structure 5.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the sleeve 3021 and the arc-shaped slider 301, the sleeve rod 3022 and the first fixed ring 401 are hinged together. When subjected to external impact force, the force exerted on the wave-proof and anti-collision structure 5 is transmitted to the first fixed ring 401, and the first fixed ring 401 can move in the horizontal plane to eliminate the radial impact force.

[0046] Further optimizing the scheme, the wave and collision prevention structure 5 includes a plurality of collision prevention plates 501, the plurality of collision prevention plates 501 are arranged in a ring shape, a clamping protrusion 503 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the collision prevention plate 501, and the clamping protrusion 503 is vertically slidably connected with a plurality of corresponding clamping rings 402 and radially limited;

[0047] The outer side of the collision plate 501 is fixedly connected with a wave-breaking plate 502. The length of the wave-breaking plate 502 is equal to the length of the bridge pier 1 above the water surface, or slightly longer than the length, so that a part of the wave-breaking plate 502 extends into the water surface.

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, four anti-collision plates 501 are provided. However, the number of anti-collision plates 501 can be any number as long as they can form a ring, and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0049] According to a further optimization scheme, the auxiliary protection structure 7 includes a second fixing ring 701, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bridge. A ring groove 703 is coaxially provided on the outer side of the second fixing ring 701. A limiting protrusion 702 is provided on the edge of the ring groove 703. The limiting protrusion 702 is integrally arranged with the second fixing ring 701. A buffer layer 704 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second fixing ring 701. The buffer layer 704 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the top of the pier 1.

[0050] The cushion layer 704 may be polyurethane (PU) foam, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) foam, rubber material, polyurethane elastomer, high-strength fiber composite material, etc. The present invention preferably uses polyurethane elastomer so that the cushion layer 704 has the necessary strength and durability while maintaining softness.

[0051] The setting of the limiting protrusion 702 can prevent the adaptive guiding structure 6 from sliding out of the annular groove 703.

[0052] According to a further optimization scheme, the adaptive guiding structure 6 includes a sleeve 601 , one end of which is fixedly connected to an adaptive slider structure 603 , the other end of which is slidably connected to a slide rod 602 , and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the anti-collision plate 501 .

[0053] A further optimized solution is that the adaptive slider structure 603 includes a shell 6031 vertically fixed to the sleeve 601, a slider 6032 is slidably connected to the inner side of one end of the shell 6031 away from the sleeve 601, a stopper 6033 is fixedly connected to the inner side of one end of the shell 6031 close to the sleeve 601, and an adaptive spring 6034 is fixed between the stopper 6033 and the slider 6032.

[0054] Since the wave-breaking plate 502 and the anti-collision plate 501 are designed as an integrated whole, when the wave-breaking plate 502 is hit by the waves, the wave-breaking plate 502 slides up and down along the arc of the waves, driving the sliding rod 602 to slide up and down in the sliding sleeve 601. Since the present invention is provided with multiple wave-breaking plates 502, the movement trajectories of the wave-breaking plates 502 in each direction do not interfere with each other, and the wave impact force at multiple angles can be eliminated in an all-round manner, which can well protect the bridge pier 1 from damage.

[0055] In a further optimized solution, the cross section of the wave-breaking plate 502 is wavy. The wavy setting can better dissipate the radial impact force brought by the waves, and can increase the contact area with the waves, further protecting the bridge pier 1.

[0056] The working process of the present invention is as follows: when the anti-collision plate 501 is subjected to external impact force, the anti-collision plate 501 transmits the impact force to the first fixing ring 401. When subjected to the impact force, the first fixing ring 401 can rotate in the direction of the impact force to eliminate the radial impact force. In this process, the buffer spring 3023 can further eliminate the radial impact force to better protect the bridge pier 1. Since the wave-breaking plate 502 and the anti-collision plate 501 are designed as one body, when the wave-breaking plate 502 is hit by the waves, the wave-breaking plate 502 slides up and down along the arc of the waves, driving the slide bar 602 to slide up and down in the sliding sleeve 601. Since the present invention is provided with multiple wave-breaking plates 502, the movement trajectories of the wave-breaking plates 502 in each direction do not interfere with each other, and the wave hitting forces at multiple angles can be eliminated in an all-round manner, which can well protect the bridge pier 1 from being damaged.

[0057] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0058] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
