[0001] The invention belongs to bridge design, and in particular relates to a foldable air-transportable self-deployable bridge mechanism. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement and development of science and technology, the traditional portable bridge with fixed structure can no longer meet people's demand for high-precision, high-quality and highly complex structural design, and its development potential is gradually shrinking. The increasing maturity of processing technology has made new structural methods that are complex and meet design needs gradually emerge. As a structural form that has emerged and is close to life, the folding and unfolding structure has been studied and applied in practice due to its uncertainty of position, diversity of changes, and variability of direction. With the continuous development of new bridge technology, folding bridges, as a special form of bridge, have been put into practical use in both military and civilian fields. Compared with ordinary bridges, folding bridges have complex structural forms, meet the load-bearing requirements after unfolding, and have corresponding adaptation conditions and fully meet the complex characteristics of folding structures and demanding folding rates.

This technical background involves structural design, material selection, folding mechanism, weight control and other aspects, aiming to ensure that the bridge is safe and reliable during air transportation, and can be quickly and easily unfolded and connected. Existing foldable bridges are mostly built manually on site, with complex assembly unit structures, lack of flexibility, slow construction speed, and lack of connection mechanisms between separate bridge components and helicopters.

[0073] The second connecting member 1-2-2 and the third connecting member 1-2-3 are coaxially provided with mounting holes for connecting with the mounting holes on the I-shaped steel structure of the longitudinal beam 3-1 and the transverse beam 3-2 of the upper connecting seat 3 through bolts, thereby fixing the guide rail assembly 1 on the platform frame.
[0074] In addition, the guide rail assembly 1 also includes a third hanging pin assembly 1-3, which is used to achieve the connection between the first layer of guide rail beams and the second layer of guide rail beams (two cross-vertical guide rail beams).
[0075] Specifically, the third pin assembly 1-3 includes a first connector 1-2-1, a fourth connector 1-2-4 and a pulley 2-1-2; the upper pulley 2-1-2 of the fourth connector 1-2-4 is fixedly connected, two first connectors 1-2-1 are connected to the lower part of the fourth connector 1-2-4, and then the two first connectors 1-2-1 are fixedly connected by bolts. The wheel of the upper pulley 2-1-2 is slidably installed in the first layer guide rail beam 1-1, and the fourth connector 1-2-4 is slidably installed with the upper slide rail of the second layer guide rail beam 1-1.
[0076] The electric hoist connection assembly 2 includes a second hanging pin assembly 2-1 and an electric hoist 2-3; the electric hoist 2-3 is divided into an electric hoist arranged on the outside and an electric hoist arranged on the inside;
[0077] The electric hoist arranged on the outside is slidably installed with the second-layer guide beam through the second hanging pin assembly 2-1, and is used to lift the quayside bridge panel in the bridge assembly; the electric hoist arranged on the inside is slidably installed with the first-layer guide beam through the second hanging pin assembly 2-1, and is used to lift the middle bridge panel in the bridge assembly.
[0078] The second hanging pin assembly 2-1 includes a Y-shaped connector 2-1-1, a pulley 2-1-2, a connecting pin 2-1-3, and a connecting shaft 2-1-4; both ends of the connecting shaft 2-1-4 are fixedly connected to the pulley 2-1-2, the middle of the connecting shaft 2-1-4 is fixedly connected to the top of the Y-shaped connector 2-1-1, and a connecting pin 2-1-3 is provided at the bottom of the Y-shaped connector 2-1-1, which is hinged to the connecting ring at the top of the electric hoist through the connecting pin 2-1-3. The hook at the bottom of the electric hoist is connected to the lifting ring on the bridge deck in the bridge assembly.
[0079] Among them, the electric hoist is a purchased part.
[0080] The bridge assembly includes a bank bridge deck, an intermediate bridge deck, an anti-skid rutting plate, a bank bridge truss plate and an intermediate truss plate. The bank bridge deck is arranged at two sections of the bridge assembly and is hinged to the intermediate bridge deck. The intermediate bridge decks are hinged to each other. The bank bridge truss plate is hinged to both sides of the bank bridge deck, and the intermediate truss plate is hinged to both sides of the intermediate bridge deck. The anti-skid rutting plate is arranged on the bank bridge deck and the intermediate bridge deck.
[0081] After the truss pieces are lowered, the truss pieces in the same straight line are connected by sleeves.
[0082] The quay bridge deck and the middle bridge deck are both provided with lifting rings connected to the hooks at the bottom of the electric hoist. When in use, the lifting steel cable in the outer electric hoist is connected to the lifting ring on the quay bridge deck, and the lifting steel cable in the inner electric hoist winch is connected to the lifting ring on the middle bridge deck;
[0083] Mooring pile assembly: connected to the bridge assembly by steel cables and installed on the ground, used to adjust the axis of the bridge assembly to keep it coincident with the calibrated bridge axis, and adjust the anchor winch self-locking device to stop the hoist from rotating, ensuring that the bridge is moored and the overall stability is guaranteed.
[0084] The mooring pile assembly includes a locking manual winch 3-1, a pile leg 3-2 and a mooring steel cable. The locking manual winch is fixedly connected to the pile leg. When in use, the pile leg is fixed to the bottom surface. When in use, the mooring steel cable in the locking manual winch 3-1 is connected to the annular buckle on the bridge assembly. The crank on the locking manual winch 3-1 is turned to lock and loosen the mooring steel cable in the locking manual winch 3-1.
[0085] At the same time, a self-locking device is provided on the lock-type manual winch 3-1 to achieve the locking of the mooring cable.
[0086] There are also mooring piles, artificial winches, fixing devices and mooring cables that make up the anchoring device. The mooring pile adopts a quadrangular structure with a maximum sinking depth of 400mm and a pile head of 150mm. It can be driven into most geological soils. Six sets of holes in the middle run through the pile column. The artificial winch adopts a double gear mechanism. The small gear is driven to rotate by turning the crank, and the small gear drives the large gear to rotate, so as to achieve rapid retraction and release of the steel cable. A square pressure-bearing seat is designed on the top to increase the force-bearing area, so as to achieve rapid piling. The fixing device includes a connecting device and a mechanism self-locking device. The connecting device uses bolts and nuts to fix the winch to the lower mooring pile. After the mechanism self-locking device tightens or loosens the steel cable, the positioning and fixing of the steel cable is achieved to prevent the winch from rotating under force, which makes the anchoring ineffective. The mooring steel cable is combined with the overall weight of the folding bridge, and the standard steel cable is adopted in reference to the standard bridge equipment. The steel cable buckle is placed in the annular buckle of the bridge span through the pre-set mooring hole of the winch, and the tension is applied to ensure that the bridge span is smoothly anchored. The present invention also provides an assembled highway steel bridge, comprising the above-mentioned assembled truss bridge, a bridge deck system, a connection system and a bridge foundation, wherein the bridge deck system is installed on the assembled truss bridge, and the assembled truss bridge is fixedly connected to the bridge foundation through the connection system.
[0087] The present invention also discloses a method for erecting a foldable air-transportable self-deployable bridge mechanism, and the specific erection steps are as follows:
[0088] Step 1: Equipment Check:
[0089] Before transporting the bridge components, fold the bridge components through external devices; check whether the various equipment indicators of the hoisting helicopter meet the requirements, and whether the status of the fuselage and various components meet the flight and transportation conditions. Check whether the flight route has been clearly defined and ensure that the map calibration is completed. Check whether the various parts of the hoisting platform have been installed, and check the tightness of the winch cable, which should not be too loose or too tight.
[0090] Step 2: The hoisting platform is connected to the helicopter, and the hoisting platform is connected to the bridge assembly;
[0091] The aerial hoisting platform is connected to the upper helicopter hook and fixed. The hoisting platform is connected to the lower bridge assembly by mobilizing the hoist, and the steel cable is pre-tightened according to the preset requirements to ensure the stability of the bridge hoisting.
[0092] Step 3: Preparation stage before bridge erection;
[0093] Step 3.1: The pilot operates the helicopter to the designated bridge erection area and operates the electric hoist to unfold the bridge from the folded state. The ground commander is responsible for towing the helicopter to fly directly above the river valley obstacle and guiding the unfolding and erection operations.
[0094] Step 3.2: Select the bridge erection location and the deployment operation area and carry out simple marking and leveling operations. Mark the bridge foundation center pile, bridge axis, preset line and pile driving point, and repair the entrance and exit. Measure the width of the obstacle to determine whether it meets the requirements for erection and use. Measure the depth of the obstacle to determine whether the maximum and minimum depths and soil factors meet the requirements. In addition to meeting the requirements of general bridge erection points, the selection of bridge erection points should also meet specific technical requirements. The personnel in the bridge erection area are located on both sides of the bridge erection location to observe the overall aerial status of the bridge, so as to facilitate timely reporting of the bridge deployment situation to ensure safe and smooth bridge deployment.
[0095] Step 4: Bridge assembly aerial deployment stage:
[0096] Step 4.1: The bridge assembly enters the preset bridge position, and the helicopter lifts the folded bridge assembly to the target area through the aerial lifting platform; the ground personnel instruct the helicopter pilot to make the bridge axis and the calibrated bridge axis basically in the same vertical plane and in the center of the obstacle to facilitate the rapid deployment of the preset bridge.
[0097] In order to reduce the impact of external forces during the deployment of bridge components and ensure smooth placement after deployment, the lowest point of the bridge is more than 3m above the ground.
[0098] Step 4.2: The operator controls the hoisting steel cable in the outer electric hoist to tighten, slowly pulls the span of the quay bridge panel to a position slightly below the horizontal position, and then the outer electric hoist winch stops operating;
[0099] Step 4.3: The operator controls the tightening of the lifting steel cable in the inner electric hoist and controls the release of the steel cable in the outer electric hoist at the same time; the lifting steel cable in the inner electric hoist is controlled to be retracted and released so that the lowest end of each section of the middle bridge deck is kept on the same horizontal line;
[0100] Step 4.4: When the middle bridge deck is basically parallel to the ground, the lifting cable in the inner electric hoist is tightened to the maximum, the inner electric hoist stops working, and the lifting cable in the outer electric hoist is slowly tightened to pull up the quay bridge deck until all bridge spans are unfolded to a basically horizontal state.
[0101] Step 4.5: After the bridge span is fully deployed and a confirmation signal is received from the ground commander, the truss cables are loosened, allowing all the lower truss structures to deploy under the action of gravity.
[0102] Step 5: placing the unfolded bridge assembly on the bridge, fixing the bridge assembly to the ground, and separating the bridge assembly from the aerial lifting platform;
[0103] After the lower truss structure is unfolded, the bridge is basically in a fully unfolded state. After receiving the confirmation signal from the ground commander, under their guidance, the pilot operates the helicopter to move slightly to the preset bridge erection position and slowly lowers the height until the bridge span maintains a low height from the ground, connects the anchoring steel cables, and adjusts the preset bridge axis and the bridge foundation baseline position through the anchoring device. Then, after the bridge contacts the ground, it is lowered to a certain height to ensure that the bridge is completely placed on the ground and maintains the hovering state unchanged.
[0104] After the helicopter was in a hovering state, the ground workers quickly went up to the bridge deck and quickly connected the adjacent truss structures at the bottom through sleeves to complete the fixation. Then the workers separated the aerial platform connecting cables from the bridge.
[0105] After all the connecting steel cables are separated from the bridge and the confirmation signal is received from the ground commander, the operator operates the winches in all the electric hoists to tighten the cables. After the steel cables are basically retracted into the winches, the helicopter pilot drives the helicopter to evacuate the erection area.
[0106] Step 6: Ground workers bring tools such as plates, rock splitters, pickaxes, etc. to drive piles at the piling point. After the piles are driven to a certain depth and stabilize, they place the anchor winch on the mooring pile.
[0107] Step 7: Fine-tune the axis of the bridge assembly; four ground operators work together to operate the mooring pile assembly to rotate and tighten the mooring cable. Under the command and coordination of the commander, the bridge is moved slightly laterally so that the axis of the bridge assembly coincides with the calibrated bridge axis. The self-locking device of the mooring pile assembly is adjusted to stop the manual winch 3-1 from rotating, ensuring that the bridge is moored and the overall stability is guaranteed.
[0108] Step 8: Ground workers can install railings and reflective stickers on the roadway according to the actual construction environment and the requirements for passing vehicles, and perform simple leveling of the bridge entrances and exits, set up guides, and mark vehicle guide lines to ensure smooth passage of vehicles.
[0109] In this embodiment, a transport helicopter with a maximum load of more than 22t is used, and the span of the foldable air transportable bridge is 24m, which is suitable for obstacles such as valleys, rivers, and potholes with a maximum span of about 22m. It adopts a lower truss structure, so the lower part needs to have a depth of about 1m. If it is less than 1m, sandbags can be filled without unfolding the truss. If the span of the obstacle is relatively small, for emergency traffic, the assembled unit form of the bridge design can also be used to dismantle the shore bridge section, and then manually fill the entrance and exit after erection. After the bridge is erected and stably anchored, it can be loaded, and its maximum load is 30t for crawlers and 20t for wheeled axle pressure. If the erection environment and conditions are good, the shore anchoring device is firm, and the bridge is intact and undamaged as a whole, it can be appropriately loaded with vehicles with a load greater than 10%. The width of the carriageway is 4m, which basically meets the traffic conditions of most vehicles; if the vehicle chassis is high and the visibility conditions are poor due to weather reasons, temporary railings and reflective stickers can be designed to guide the vehicle to pass safely.
