Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an aerial work platform, in particular to a steel tower auxiliary work platform. Background Art

[0002] In modern bridge engineering, the main beam steel tower is the core bearing structure, and its construction quality directly determines the overall safety performance and service life of the bridge. In view of the complex working conditions of the main tower high-altitude operation, fixed ring platforms or mobile construction devices are currently widely used. Such platforms provide construction personnel with a continuous working surface by surrounding the tower body or climbing along the tower body. However, the existing technology has significant limitations: since the platform is attached to the surrounding arrangement of the tower body, its structural design is constrained by space, resulting in insufficient bearing capacity, and it is difficult to meet the centralized stacking needs of bulk materials such as steel bars and formwork; at the same time, the narrow working area lacks operating space for on-site processing such as cutting and welding, and the construction process needs to frequently rely on secondary ground transportation. The above problems not only reduce construction efficiency, but also extend the construction period due to poor process connection, and even cause the risk of falling or overturning due to the irregular temporary stacking of high-altitude materials, thereby affecting the accuracy of concrete pouring and the quality of steel structure welding.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a steel tower auxiliary work platform in this embodiment includes a platform frame 1 composed of mutually welded load-bearing beams, a support and fixing assembly 2 welded to the lower surface of the platform frame 1, and a bottom plate 3 laid and fixed on the upper surface of the platform frame 1. The support and fixing assembly 2 includes a support member 6 and a connector 7. The connector 7 has a welding end face adapted to the curved surface of the steel tower wall plate, and the position between the connector 7 and the support member 6 can be adjusted according to the size of the steel tower. At the same time, the setting of the support member 6 can ensure that the space between the platform frame 1 and the top of the steel tower segment can be normally passed and constructed without affecting the overall construction. The platform frame 1 is welded and fixed to the support member 6, and the connector 7 is welded to the steel tower wall plate to achieve a stable connection between the platform frame 1 and the steel tower, that is, the platform frame 1 is fixed to the top of the steel tower segment through the support and fixing assembly 2. Compared with a fixed annular platform or a mobile construction device, its structural stability is higher and the working space is larger, which can supplement the stacking of existing devices and some construction task requirements. At the same time, a hoisting component 4 is provided on the platform frame 1 for cooperating with the crane to hoist the working platform as a whole, and a limiting component 5 is provided on the bottom plate 3. The corresponding equipment required for the construction is hoisted together with the working platform as a whole, which reduces the number of hoisting times and effectively reduces the construction cost.

[0025] The platform frame 1 is composed of two main beams arranged in parallel, a crossbeam vertically connected between the main beams, and a reinforced distribution beam welded at the intersection of the main beam and the crossbeam. Both the main beam and the crossbeam are made of HN600×200 H-shaped steel with a flange width of 200mm to provide excellent bearing capacity. The bottom plate 3 is made of 6mm thick patterned steel plate to ensure the firmness of the surface layer and provide a certain anti-slip performance; the surface is welded with I-10 steel reinforcement ribs to ensure the support performance of the surface layer and equipment. The bottom plate 3 is provided with a limit assembly 5 consisting of a fixed enclosure and a detachable enclosure. The fixed enclosure is welded and fixed with channel steel, and the detachable enclosure is connected to the bottom plate 3 by M16 bolts, forming a limit space that can accommodate at least four gas cylinders, two welding machines and an air compressor. The hoisting components 4 include four lifting lugs 4 symmetrically arranged on the top surface of the main beam, located at 1 / 4 of the span of the main beam, avoiding the maximum bending moment area of ​​the main beam, reducing the risk of hoisting deformation, and reducing the platform inclination deviation through the four-point hoisting mode to enhance its stability. A guardrail assembly 8 with a height of 1.2m and three transverse connecting rods and a skirting board 9 with a height of 120mm are set around the platform. Removable ladder assemblies 10 are installed on both sides and fixed to the platform frame 1 through a pin-type connector to facilitate personnel to go up and down and ensure construction safety.

[0026] The present invention realizes rapid deployment by hoisting the equipment onto the tower as a whole. The equipment is pre-installed on the base plate 3 in advance, which significantly reduces the installation time of the welding equipment and improves the construction efficiency. Under the premise of placing 4 gas cylinders, 2 welding machines, 2 welding cabinets, and 1 air compressor, if a normal arrangement is adopted on an ordinary platform, 9 hooks are required for crane hoisting, and the average hoisting time per hook is about 15 minutes, and the total time spent is about 2 hours. The present invention can hoist the equipment onto the tower once, which only takes 15 minutes, significantly reducing the equipment installation time. At the same time, the present invention also provides a fixed equipment installation position and sets fixing measures to reduce the risk of equipment movement during the construction process. The guardrail assembly 8 and the detachable ladder assembly 10 are designed to ensure the safe passage of personnel. The uniform arrangement of welding equipment is taken into consideration to ensure the convenience of welding operation and improve the quality and speed of welding work. It is suitable for the construction environment of steel towers with complex structures and provides a flexible construction plan.

[0027] Before construction, the welding machine, gas cylinders and other equipment are pre-fixed in the limit assembly 5 of the base plate 3. The fixed enclosure is welded to the surface of the base plate 3 with channel steel to form the equipment foundation positioning area; the removable enclosure is bolted to the base plate 3 by bolts to achieve rapid clamping of the equipment. The fixed enclosure and the removable enclosure are combined to form a modular limit space to ensure that the spacing between gas cylinders, welding machines and other equipment meets the safety operation specifications. Then, the four lifting ears on the top of the main beam are connected by a crane to hoist the entire platform to the top of the steel tower segment. After the platform is in place, adjust the contact surface between the connector 7 of the support and fixing assembly 2 and the steel tower wall panel to ensure that the arc surface of the connector 7 is completely in contact with the tower wall, and then weld it to the steel tower wall panel. Subsequently, the removable ladder assembly 10 is installed on both sides of the platform to solve the height difference between the top of the steel tower segment and the platform caused by the support 6, and fast fixation is achieved through the pin-type connector. The guardrail assembly 8 and the skirting board 9 are activated simultaneously.
