Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composite protective belt and protective structure for water surface bridge piers. Specifically, the composite belt is suitable for significantly improving the surge impact resistance and durability of the bridge piers by combining a composite design with a plastic metal core layer and a cement solid phase material, in combination with multiple protective processes. The belt is suitable for protective projects for bridge piers in waters such as oceans and rivers. Background Art

[0002] Bridge piers are often constructed of concrete or steel and are frequently subjected to erosion by currents and waves, which can damage, age, and even peel off the pier surface. Salt spray from seawater can corrode the pier surface over time, and aquatic organisms can attach and grow on the pier surface, damaging it. Furthermore, piers can be struck by ships, causing damage and other issues. These issues highlight the need to protect the piers above water to ensure the safety of bridge projects and extend their service life.

[0003] Bridge pier protection devices have recently received increasing attention. For example, patent CN107761550A discloses a dynamic pier anti-collision device. Several buoyancy boxes, bound with steel wire ropes or steel belts, are installed on the outside of the pier to protect appropriate areas of the pier, solving the problem of up-and-down floating. Patent CN104005331A discloses a bridge pier protection and anti-collision device that includes a composite material fixing layer, anti-collision guardrails, and support columns. The device is installed through various methods, including plug-in and bolt fastening. The result is a complex structure and a cumbersome installation process.

[0004] The protection of bridge piers is complicated due to the complex environment in which they are used. At the same time, it is necessary to consider factors such as climate corrosion, biological corrosion, salt corrosion, wind and wave resistance, water level fluctuation and environmental protection. As a result, existing protection devices have design shortcomings in at least 1-2 aspects. Even if all aspects are taken into consideration, the complexity of the structural design involves a large number of parts of different sizes, and the installation and transportation are not fixed. In addition, they need to be specially designed and customized according to the pier structure, resulting in a long manufacturing cycle and high manufacturing costs.

[0005] Composite materials have been introduced into civil engineering and construction due to their lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant properties. Currently, there is a lack of a composite material structure and preparation method for bridge pier protection that combines high toughness, corrosion resistance, and long-term stability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems in the prior art of poor protection against water surface surge impact and corrosion of bridge piers, cumbersome installation, high cost and short service life, and to provide a composite protective belt and its protective structure for water surface bridge piers that are flexible, low cost, simple to install, have good protection effect and long service life.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a composite protective belt for water-surface bridge piers, comprising: a plastic-shaped metal core wire, a hydraulic shaping material, a tubular covering fabric, and a positioning protective braided layer, wherein the tubular covering fabric is sleeved over the plastic-shaped metal core wire, the hydraulic shaping material is filled between the tubular covering fabric and the plastic-shaped metal core wire, and the positioning protective braided layer is sleeved over the tubular covering fabric;

[0009] The plastic-forming metal core wire is used to provide initial plastic shaping force for the installation of the protective belt; the water-hardening shaping material is used to harden and shape when it comes into contact with water during the installation of the protective belt; the tubular covering fabric is used to cover the plastic-forming metal core wire and the water-hardening shaping material; the positioning protective braided layer is a tubular braided structure with side braids, which is used to improve the weather corrosion resistance of the protective belt.

[0010] The positioning protection braided layer comprises a tubular braided body and side braided belts of an integral structure, and the yarns at the connection between the tubular braided body and the side braided belts are woven in an interwoven manner.

[0011] The wall thickness of the tubular braided body is 0.2mm-5mm, and the outer diameter of the tubular braided body is 5mm-200mm; the width of the side braided belt is 5mm-300mm; and the width of the side braided belt is 0.5-2.5 times the outer diameter of the tubular braided body.

[0012] The tubular braided body and the side braided belts are both woven from one of basalt fibers, glass fibers, quartz fibers, carbon fibers, alumina fibers, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, aramid fibers, and polyimide fibers.

[0013] The plastic shaped metal core wire is one of steel wire, aluminum alloy wire, copper wire, nickel wire and titanium alloy wire;

[0014] The surface of the plastically shaped metal core wire is provided with a texture for improving bonding strength.

[0015] The hydraulic setting material is a mixture of underwater cement and a solid cement modifier.

[0016] The tubular covering fabric is a thin tubular structural fabric woven from polypropylene fibers, polyamide fibers, polyester fibers or polyethylene fibers, and the thickness of the tubular covering fabric is 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a composite protective structure for water-surface bridge piers, wherein the composite protective structure is formed by wrapping the aforementioned composite protective tape for water-surface bridge piers around the piers and then adding water to shape the tape;

[0018] The tubular braided body of the composite protection belt is stacked and wound layer by layer in a vertical direction. The tubular braided body of the composite protection belt compresses the side braided belts of the adjacent layers and is wound outside the bridge pier.

[0019] The width of the side braids is 1.5-2.5 times the outer diameter of the tubular braided body, and the side braids of adjacent layers are fixed by sewing with silk threads or by buckles or tie bands.

[0020] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a method for using a composite protective strip for a water surface bridge pier, comprising the following steps:

[0021] S1. Wrapping the aforementioned composite protective tape for water-surface bridge piers layer by layer in a tightly compressed manner on a position close to the horizontal plane of the pier surface. During the wrapping process, the tubular braid of the protective tape of the Nth layer needs to be tightly attached to the tubular braid of the protective tape of the N-1th layer. During the wrapping process, the tubular braid of the protective tape of the Nth layer presses the side braid of the N-1th layer.

[0023] After S3 fixing is completed, the protective tape is sprayed with fresh water to solidify and set, and a composite protective structure for water surface bridge piers is obtained.

The tubular covering fabric is soft and thin, can play a good packaging role, is convenient for preparation and construction, and has low cost. The positioning protective braided layer adopts a special braiding structure design. The cylindrical part of the tubular braided body is convenient for winding and protecting the middle cement material and the plastic-shaped metal core wire. The side braided belt part can be overlapped to prevent water waves and organisms from directly eroding and adhering to the surface of the bridge pier, thereby playing a very good protective role.

[0026] 2. The composite protective belt for water surface bridge piers of the present invention is made of inorganic materials, which can reduce the impact on the water environment as much as possible. At the same time, it uses the characteristics of the material itself, takes into account climate corrosion factors, biological corrosion factors, salt corrosion factors, and wind and wave resistance factors, and effectively extends the service life of the protective structure; at the same time, the design of the strip structure takes into account the advantages of manufacturing costs and transportation and installation costs, and has greater market competitiveness.

[0027] 3. The composite protective structure for water surface bridge piers of the present invention utilizes a side braided belt structure to fill the gaps in the wrapping and winding, increase the friction during installation, and greatly optimize the protection and installation and fixing performance of the design.

[0028] 4. The method of using the composite protective belt for water surface bridge piers of the present invention only requires winding and adding water to solidify to complete the installation, which is convenient for installation and replacement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
