Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bridge engineering, and provides a multi-stage buffer hidden bridge expansion device with small deformation, concealed installation, reduced later maintenance cost and adaptability to complex working conditions, and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] There are five types of expansion joint structures widely used in bridge expansion devices, namely seamless expansion joints, butt-type expansion joints, rubber plate expansion joints, steel-supported expansion joints (the comb tooth type is widely used), and modular expansion joints.

[0003] The structural principles of the three types of expansion joints, seamless expansion joints, butt-jointed expansion joints, and rubber plate expansion joints, are roughly the same, that is, the strength of the elastic-plastic material is used as the support of the bridge gap, and the large shear deformation of the material is used to offset the expansion and contraction deformation of the bridge. However, the load capacity of elastic-plastic materials is limited, and the shear deformation capacity is also limited, so they can only be used for small and medium-sized bridges with low load levels. Due to the growing transportation needs in my country, they are now gradually being eliminated.

[0004] At present, the main bridge construction process uses joint expansion structure, which is basically steel support expansion joint (such as Figure 1 as shown) and modular expansion joints (as Figure 2 The structural principles of these two expansion joints are roughly the same, that is, leaving a gap in the bridge and using steel plates to protect the edge of the bridge, and using the gaps between the steel plates to meet the deformation requirements of the bridge. Although it can be deformed greatly and carry heavy loads during use, the steel is laid on the road surface, and impact vibration occurs when vehicles pass through, affecting the driving smoothness; sometimes sand and gravel enter between the steel plates, affecting the expansion and contraction of the bridge and damaging the expansion joint, resulting in insufficient durability; the sealing material is prone to aging, and the mechanical parts are prone to jamming, requiring frequent maintenance; the structure is exposed, and the device is exposed to the bridge deck, affecting the appearance of the bridge and making it difficult to seamlessly connect with the pavement layer. In specific use, it is easy to change when subjected to vehicle loads. Steel-supported expansion joints often have abnormal contraction joint activity, damage to anchors, fracture or warping of tooth plates, severe vibration, loud driving noise, and severe water leakage; in severe cases, it affects driving safety. Modular expansion joints have fractures in section steel and cracking and crushing of anchor concrete, and differences in the installation elevations of expansion joints lead to vehicle jumping at the expansion joints.

[0005] In summary, the existing bridge expansion devices all compensate for the expansion and contraction amount once, resulting in insufficient compensation expansion and contraction amount for closed expansion joints, insufficient comfort of slotted expansion joints, high subsequent maintenance costs, inability to adapt to complex working conditions or can only be installed in the exposed state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods. Among them, the accompanying drawings are only used for exemplary descriptions, and only schematic diagrams are shown, not physical diagrams, and cannot be understood as limitations on this patent; in order to better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some parts of the accompanying drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the accompanying drawings may be omitted. The illustrations provided in the following embodiments only illustrate the basic concept of the present invention in a schematic manner. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0049] In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0050] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the multi-stage buffer hidden bridge expansion device mentioned in the present invention includes: a bearing mechanism 1, a transverse guide rod 3 arranged in the mounting groove 2 of the bearing mechanism 1, and a plurality of load stress decomposition metal blocks 4 sleeved on the transverse guide rod 3, wherein the bottom plate surface of the load stress decomposition metal block 4 is closely attached to the bottom plate surface of the mounting groove 2 of the bearing mechanism 1;

[0051] The bearing mechanism 1 includes an upper steel plate 101 and a lower steel plate 102, wherein the upper steel plate 101 is slidably connected to the lower steel plate 102, one end of the transverse guide rod 3 is integrally formed with the side wall of the upper steel plate 101, and the mounting groove 2 is located on the lower steel plate 102;

[0052] A flexible sealing strip 5 is provided between two adjacent load stress decomposition metal blocks 4. In this embodiment, the number of load stress decomposition metal blocks 4 is determined according to the calculated displacement of the bridge. (Δmax is the designed expansion and contraction amount, n is the number of the load stress decomposition metal blocks 4), S is the spacing at 1 / 2 of the height of the load stress decomposition metal blocks 4, 60mm≥S≥40mm.

[0053] The displacement decomposition mechanism of the device is to discretize the overall expansion and contraction through an array of 4 constant load stress decomposition metal blocks, and each level of buffer unit (each load stress decomposition metal block 4) independently bears part of the displacement to reduce local stress concentration.

[0054] When the expansion joint of the bridge shrinks by Lmm, the upper steel plate 101 of the bearing mechanism 1 is subjected to the tensile load stress decomposition metal block 4 which slides toward the fixed end, and the distance between adjacent metal blocks is reduced by (L / n)mm; the trapezoidal flexible sealing strip 5 elastically opens, and the width increases from Smm to S+(L / n)mm to maintain the sealing continuity.

[0055] When the expansion joint of the bridge expands by Lmm, the upper steel plate 101 of the bearing structure 1 is compressed, pushing the load stress decomposition metal block 4 to slide toward the movable end, and the adjacent spacing increases by (L / n)mm; the trapezoidal flexible sealing strip 5 is compressed and contracted, and the width decreases from Smm to S-(L / n)mm, always filling the gap.

[0056] To ensure that the flexible sealing strip 5 does not fall out of the gap between two adjacent load stress decomposition metal blocks 4 when the entire structure is subjected to dynamic loads and temperature changes. In the above embodiment, preferably, the transverse cross-sections of the load stress decomposition metal block 4 and the flexible sealing strip 5 are both trapezoidal.

[0057] In order to ensure that the flexible sealing strip 5 is not damaged during the subsequent high-temperature construction of asphalt paving, in the above embodiment, preferably: the flexible sealing strip 5 is made of fluororubber material.

In this embodiment, the middle part of the flexible sealing strip 5 has a hollow inner cavity 12, and the shape of the longitudinal cross-section of the hollow inner cavity 12 is the same as the shape of the longitudinal cross-section of the transverse guide rod 3. The size of the hollow inner cavity 12 is larger than the size of the transverse guide rod 3. A secondary sealing strip 13 supported by fluororubber material is arranged between the hollow inner cavity 12 and the side wall of the transverse guide rod 3. Through this arrangement, it can be ensured that the entire structure causes the transverse guide rod 3 to have axial displacement when subjected to dynamic loads.

[0059] In order to ensure that the top surface of the entire device is completely sealed, in the above embodiment, preferably: a mutually interlocking bite structure 7 is provided at the connecting surface between the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102 .

[0060] In order to prevent the entire structure from falling out or warping under impact load, in the above embodiment, preferably: the bite structure 7 includes bite teeth 701 and bite grooves 702, the bite teeth 701 are located on the bottom plate surface of the upper steel plate 101, and the bite groove 702 is located on the left side wall of the groove body of the lower steel plate 102.

[0061] To effectively ensure that the transverse guide rod 3 can be freely extended and retracted, in the above embodiment, preferably: a telescopic slot hole 8 is provided on the right side wall of the slot body of the lower steel plate 102, and the shape of the telescopic slot hole 8 is the same as that of the transverse guide rod 3, and a telescopic margin is left.

[0062] In order to effectively limit the displacement of the load stress decomposition metal block 4, in the above embodiment, preferably: the longitudinal cross-section of the transverse guide rod 3 is in the shape of a rectangle. The rectangle can better limit the displacement of the decomposition metal block 4.

[0063] In order to further extend the service life of the structure and improve driving comfort, in the above embodiment, preferably: an asphalt layer 11 is provided on the top plate surface of the supporting mechanism 1.

[0064] In the above embodiments, all components are commercially available products.
