Description

[0002] Baileys, also known as Bailey frames, Bailey beams, or trusses, were first invented by a British engineer during World War II to address the need for rapid bridge construction during the war. They are named after him. They can be used in highway bridges, assembling gantry cranes, guide beams, bridge erection machines, and hanging baskets. Baileys are characterized by simple structure, easy transportation, rapid erection, high load capacity, good interchangeability, and strong adaptability. Baileys are assembled by welding I-beams, U-beams, and male and female connectors. Therefore, male and female connectors are a key component of Baileys. Existing male and female connectors are mostly cut using saws or cutting devices, which convey them via rollers. This can cause steel deviation during conveying, resulting in poor cutting accuracy and significant steel waste during subsequent processing, increasing production costs. Furthermore, the cut male and female connectors must be manually unloaded, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
