[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication or connection inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0029] As Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a bearing capacity test device for bridge piers, including a horizontal slide rail 1. One end of the horizontal slide rail 1 is fixedly connected to a reference platform 10. The reference platform 10 is arranged away from the bridge pier and is set on a stable ground not affected by the bridge pier. A horizontal trolley 11 is slidably connected to the horizontal slide rail 1. A cross beam 12 is arranged at the upper end of the horizontal trolley 11. The bottom of the cross beam 12 is fixedly connected to a hydraulic turntable 13. One horizontal trolley 11 is arranged on one side of the bridge pier or one horizontal trolley 11 is arranged on each side respectively. The top beams of the two horizontal trolleys 11 are fastened together by bolts to form an integral body and share a hydraulic turntable 13 for performing unilateral or all-round bearing tests on the bridge. The bottom of the hydraulic turntable 13 is rotatably connected to a hydraulic telescopic arm 14. A counterweight 2 is arranged at the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic arm 14. Rollers are arranged at the bottom of the counterweight 2. One end of the horizontal slide rail 1 is hinged to an inclined rail 3. A load-bearing block 31 is slidably connected to the upper side of the inclined rail 3. A lifting rod 32 is arranged on the upper side of the load-bearing block 31. A measuring flat plate 33 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the lifting rod 32. The lifting rod 32 and the measuring flat plate 33 are made of lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy materials. The lifting rod 32 is a hollow rod structure;

[0030] It further includes a hoop 4 which is fixedly connected to the bridge pier. The hoop 4 is enclosed around the upper end of the bridge pier by two U-shaped frames through bolts. Two vertical rods 41 are respectively fixedly connected to the two corners of the hoop 4. A rotary motor 42 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod 41. The main shaft of the rotary motor 42 is fixedly connected to a rotary arm 43. Displacement sensors 44 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper side and the lower side of the rotary arm 43. The rotary motor 42 drives the rotary arm 43 to change the measurement position. The displacement sensor 44 on the upper side of the rotary arm 43 contacts the bottom surface of the bridge to measure the bearing deformation of the bridge relative to the bridge pier. The displacement sensor 44 at the bottom of the rotary arm 43 and the measurement flat plate 33 measure the settlement of the bridge pier relative to the foundation.

[0031] In the present invention, the counterweight 2 is rotated on the bridge surface by the hydraulic turntable 13. By changing the load position, the bearing capacity and stable structure of the bridge pier are measured, and the defects existing in the bridge structure design can be obtained immediately, avoiding the occurrence of safety incidents such as the bridge tipping over under uneven loads during actual use; when the counterweight 2 rotates, by extending or retracting the hydraulic telescopic arm 14, the movement position of the counterweight 2 on the bridge surface can be covered more fully. Compared with the existing vertical pressure applied at fixed points, the test is more comprehensive.

[0032] The reference platform 10 stably supports the horizontal trolley 11. The horizontal slide rail 1 is connected to the reference platform 10 and is not affected by the settlement deformation of the foundation near the bridge pier. The inclined rail 3 hinged at the end of the horizontal slide rail 1 rotates due to the settlement change of the foundation. A load-bearing block 31 is slidably connected to the upper side of the inclined rail 3 and slides by gravity from a high place and gradually approaches the bridge pier. The measurement flat plate 33 and the displacement sensor 44 on the lower side of the rotary arm 43 form a linear displacement change monitoring data. Therefore, the bearing change between the bridge and the bridge pier is monitored by the hoop 4 and the displacement sensor 44 on the upper side of the rotary arm 43. At the same time, the displacement sensor 44 on the lower side of the rotary arm 43 and the measurement flat plate 33 detect the settlement change between the foundation and the bridge pier. Through the comprehensive comparison of the two sets of data, the comprehensive bearing capacity test results of the bridge pier are obtained, and the two can be separately distinguished and can also study the comprehensive bearing capacity of the bridge pier through the same load.

[0033] As a further implementation manner of the present invention, the horizontal trolley 11 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped plate 5. A plurality of round rods 51 are rotatably connected at intervals on the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 5. The telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic arm 14 is fixedly connected to a suspension rod 52. The lower end of the suspension rod 52 is slidably connected to the counterweight 2. Two circular rods 53 are fixedly connected to the upper side ends of the counterweight 2. The upper ends of the circular rods 53 are fixedly connected to side plates 54. A disc 55 is rotatably connected to one side of the side plate 54. The rotation axis of the disc 55 is higher than the round rod 51, and the lowest point of the outer circle of the disc 55 is lower than the round rod 51. The roller is vertically slidably installed at the bottom of the counterweight 2 through a spring column.

[0034] In the above further embodiment, the hydraulic telescopic arm 14 rotates to move the counterweight 2 on the bridge surface. When the side surface of the disc 55 touches the round rod 51, due to the outer circle structure of the disc 55, the side plate 54 and the circular rod 53 lift the counterweight 2, reducing the load on the bridge. When the disc 55 leaves the round rod 51, under the action of gravity, the counterweight 2 quickly falls, forming an impact load on the bridge, and the dynamic load generated by the driving of the vehicle can be more conveniently realized.

[0035] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic arm 14 is rotatably connected to the circular wheel 6. One end of the upper side of the measuring flat plate 33 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 61. Arc-shaped baffles 62 are arranged at the upper ends of the two vertical plates 61. The arc-shaped baffles 62 are arranged corresponding to the circular wheel 6. Both ends of the arc-shaped baffles 62 are respectively fixedly connected to a slide plate 63. The slide plate 63 is vertically slidably and limitedly connected to the vertical plate 61.

[0036] The inclined rail 3 is provided with a vertical through groove. One side of the load-bearing block 31 is fixedly connected to the settlement measuring rod 34. The lower end of the settlement measuring rod 34 is rotatably connected to a rolling wheel. The rolling wheel contacts the ground surface and is used for the settlement change of the foundation of the bridge pier within the range where the foundation of the bridge pier gradually approaches from a distance, so that the present invention can not only test the bearing strength of the bridge pier on the bridge, but also measure the change of the foundation when the foundation settlement affects the bridge pier.

[0037] In the above further embodiment, the circular wheel 6 at the end of the hydraulic telescopic arm 14 presses the arc-shaped baffle 62, pushing the vertical plate 61 and the lifting rod 32 upward along the inclined rail 3. The end of the inclined rail 3 close to the bridge pier will form different angular changes due to the foundation deformation. The two slide plates 63 are vertically slidably and limitedly connected to the vertical plate 61 to adapt to the different angular settlement changes of the two inclined rails 3, so that different deformations around the bridge pier can be effectively monitored; and the rolling wheel at the lower end of the settlement measuring rod 34 always contacts the foundation. When the counterweight 2 is not applied, the settlement measuring rod 34 obtains a basic measurement value, and during the dynamic load change of the counterweight 2, the ground surface from far to near the ground surface of the bridge pier can be effectively measured. Therefore, through the monitoring of the displacement sensor 44 and the settlement measuring rod 34 respectively fixedly connected to the upper side and the lower side of the rotating arm 43, the bearing capacity of the bridge pier can be comprehensively and comprehensively tested.

[0038] The above has described the present invention in detail through embodiments, but the content is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of the application of the present invention should still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
