Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of traffic rock soil foundation treatment, and in particular to a structure and method for controlling vehicle jumping at a bridge head. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] The bridgehead vehicle jump is caused by the differential settlement or expansion joint damage at the highway bridgehead and expansion joint (bridgehead approach), which causes the longitudinal slope of the road surface to appear steps, causing the vehicle to jump when passing. The road surface has different degrees of settlement and fracture at the backfill of the platform (the settlement value is generally 10 to 30cm, and some even exceed 60cm), causing the vehicle to jump and impact when passing, thereby causing additional impact loads on the bridge culvert and the road surface, making the driver and passengers feel bumpy and uncomfortable, and even causing the vehicle to slow down significantly. Severe cases can lead to traffic accidents (especially vehicle mechanical accidents). Therefore, the bridgehead vehicle jump problem has become an important factor affecting the engineering quality and cost of high-grade highways.

[0004] Patent application CN116695553A discloses a road-bridge transition structure and construction method for controlling vehicle jumping at a bridge head. When a certain position of the roadbed produces a large settlement, the cover plate of the slurry feed pipe is manually opened and lime milk is poured in. After the tank is slowly filled, the ball valve is opened, and the lime milk in the feed pipe consolidates the foundation at the settlement position to prevent it from settling. The asphalt covering layer at the corresponding position is broken, and the feed port on the top of the feed pipe and the water pipe cover are opened, and expansive cement and water are poured in to reduce the settlement difference caused by the roadbed.

[0005] The above patent requires manual opening of the slurry inlet pipe cover and pouring of lime milk when settlement occurs, and closing the slurry inlet pipe cover after filling. The foundation is consolidated with lime milk, which requires manual participation, high labor intensity, and a large construction workload. Summary of the invention

[0030] The top surface of the asphalt pavement layer 8 is flush with the top surface of the bridge deck 2 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the grouting chamber adopts a three-level stepped structure, each level has a chamber, which is divided into three chambers, namely the upper chamber 4-1, the middle chamber 4-2 and the bottom chamber 4-3, wherein the inner end of the lowest bottom chamber 4-3 extends to the bridge deck-abutment system, the top surface of the upper chamber 4-1 cooperates with the bottom surface of the pavement structure, and a pile system is provided in the soil between the top surface of the lower chamber 4-3 and the bottom surface of the pavement structure.

[0040] A seal is provided between the piston 3-2, the cylinder body 3-1 and the grouting pipe 17 to maintain sealing.

[0041] The grouting pump 15 is connected to the control system and can receive instructions from the control system to work. An electric control valve is installed on the slurry inlet pipe 16. Preferably, the electric control valve adopts a pneumatic valve 18, which is connected to the control system through a cable 19, and its operation is controlled by the control system.

[0042] Furthermore, an electric valve is also installed on the grouting pipe 17 . The electric-controlled valve adopts a pneumatic valve 20 . The pneumatic valve 20 is connected to the control system 5 via a cable, and its operation is controlled by the control system 5 .

[0045] Each chamber is connected to an air intake pipe 24 and an exhaust pipe, and the air intake pipe 24 and the exhaust pipe extend above the road surface, wherein the air intake pipe 24 is connected to an air supply mechanism.

[0046] Furthermore, a plurality of displacement detection elements 25 are buried in the soil between the bottom chamber 4-3 and the bottom surface of the pavement structure. The displacement detection element 25 uses an existing settlement monitoring sensor. Existing equipment can be used and will not be described in detail here. The settlement monitoring sensor is connected to the control system and can transmit the detected soil settlement value to the control system.

[0047] Preferably, since the soil settlement value near the abutment 1 is relatively large, the settlement monitoring sensor is buried in the soil near the abutment 1.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The present embodiment provides a working method of the structure for controlling the bridge head jump-off described in Embodiment 1. When the soil body settles unevenly, the movable plate 3-4 moves downward under the pressure of the soil body, the piston 3-2 moves downward, and the air pressure in the rodless chamber of the cylinder body increases. When the air pressure sensor detects that the air pressure value is greater than the set threshold, a signal is sent to the control system 5. The control system 5 controls the grouting pump 15 to work, and the electric control valves of the grouting pipe 17 and the grouting pipe 16 are opened. The grouting pump 15 sprays consolidation slurry to the soft soil below the pavement structure and below the grouting chamber 4 through the grouting pipe 17, and grouts and reinforces the soft soil, so that the soft soil is consolidated, thereby avoiding further settlement of the soil body and realizing the control of the bridge head jump-off.

[0050] In this embodiment, when settlement occurs, the settlement amount of the soil is obtained through the settlement monitoring sensor, the injection amount of the consolidation slurry is obtained according to the settlement amount of the soil, and the working time of the grouting pump 15 is obtained according to the obtained injection amount.

[0051] Under normal conditions, the air supply mechanism is started at set intervals to inject air into the consolidation slurry in the chamber to make the consolidation slurry flow and prevent the consolidation slurry from standing still for a long time and solidifying.

[0052] In this embodiment, the consolidation of soft soil is automatically achieved through the grouting mechanism and the sensing mechanism, thereby achieving the control of bridge head jumping without human intervention, reducing labor intensity, improving treatment efficiency, and reducing the workload of treatment construction.

[0053] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
