Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bridge inspection and maintenance, and more specifically, relates to a method for quickly replacing an existing drive system of a bridge inspection vehicle. Background Art
[0002] If the bridge inspection vehicle lacks necessary maintenance, the driving system's running wheels, transmission gears and other components will be severely corroded, causing the bridge inspection vehicle to frequently get stuck and malfunction during operation. In severe cases, it may be unable to operate normally. In addition, the rusted driving system puts the bridge inspection vehicle at risk of falling.
[0003] Nowadays, the content and frequency of bridge inspection and maintenance are gradually increasing, so the frequency of use of bridge inspection vehicles will also increase. Therefore, the safety, durability and work efficiency of bridge inspection vehicles play an important role and significance in the maintenance of steel box girders. In order to ensure the normal use and safety of bridge inspection vehicles, it is urgent to replace the rusted and damaged drive systems of existing bridge inspection vehicles.
[0004] Currently, most bridge inspection vehicles damaged by corrosion are replaced with the entire vehicle, but the risk of overall dismantling is extremely high and the cost of replacing the entire vehicle is high. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above shortcomings and provide a method for quickly replacing the existing drive system of a bridge inspection vehicle. The method aims to quickly complete the replacement of the existing drive system and restore the use function of the bridge inspection vehicle when the drive system of the bridge inspection vehicle is severely corroded but the vehicle body is relatively intact.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: The present invention discloses a method for quickly replacing an existing drive system of a bridge inspection vehicle, including replacement of an upstream side and replacement of a downstream side; The upstream side replacement method includes: Use the bridge deck lifting equipment to lift the hoisting tooling and its accessories to the inspection vehicle; Install the lifting device on the rails on both sides of the gantry on the upstream side of the inspection vehicle and on the rails above the inspection vehicle; Install the hoisting tooling on both sides of the gantry on the upstream side of the inspection vehicle and connect them to the vehicle body and the hoisting device respectively; Lift the existing drive system wheels of the upstream inspection vehicle off the track and dismantle the existing drive system; Lift the new drive system connector to the top of the upstream gantry for installation, then lift the new drive system to the installation location and connect it to the inspection vehicle track and the new drive system connector respectively; Adjust the lifting device so that the running wheels of the new drive system fall onto the track to bear the weight of the inspection vehicle, completing the replacement of the existing drive system on the upstream side; The replacement method on the downstream side is the same as the replacement method on the upstream side, and the order of the two is not limited.
[0007] Furthermore, the bridge deck hoisting equipment includes a truck crane or a crawler crane arranged on the bridge deck, preferably a truck crane.
[0008] Furthermore, the lifting tooling includes two lifting I-beams, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the upstream gantry or the downstream gantry of the inspection vehicle and are connected to the truss rods of the inspection vehicle body through buckles.
[0009] Furthermore, the lifting device is a manual hoist and / or an electric hoist.
[0010] Furthermore, four manual hoists or electric hoists are arranged at the adjacent track connection seats before and after the upstream gantry or downstream gantry of the inspection vehicle, and their hooks are connected to the lifting tooling; one electric hoist or manual hoist is set on the track directly above the inspection vehicle.
[0011] Furthermore, the inspection vehicle body is connected to the tracks on the upstream and downstream sides through safety ropes to prevent the vehicle body from falling when the existing drive system of the inspection vehicle is replaced.
[0012] Furthermore, the existing drive system is dismantled after the running wheels of the existing drive system are lifted to 5 mm off the track. The dismantled existing drive system is lowered onto an inspection vehicle and then transported to the bridge deck.
[0013] Furthermore, the existing drive system is dismantled by a cutting machine.
[0014] Furthermore, after the newly manufactured drive system connection seat is hoisted to the top surface of the upstream gantry or the downstream gantry, the position of the newly manufactured drive system connection seat is first adjusted, and then the connection is welded on site.
[0015] Furthermore, the new drive system is hoisted to the installation position and connected to the inspection vehicle track and the new drive system connecting seat respectively, including: hoisting the new drive system to the installation position, assembling the running mechanism components of the new drive system onto the track, and then connecting them to the hanging shaft of the new drive system connecting seat.

[0022] Example 1: This embodiment provides a method for quickly replacing the existing drive system of a bridge inspection vehicle. In view of the situation where the drive system of the bridge inspection vehicle 3 is severely corroded but the vehicle body is relatively intact, the arrangement of the inspection vehicle 3 on the bridge is as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0023] The method described in this embodiment includes replacement of the upstream side and replacement of the downstream side. Taking the upstream side as an example, the method specifically includes the following steps: S1: Construction preparation: Preparation of machinery and materials: including one truck crane 2, two sets of I-beams 8, four sets of hand hoists 9, one set of electric hoists 10, wire ropes and other tools, etc.
[0024] S2: If Figure 1 As shown, a truck crane 2 is arranged on the bridge deck 1 , and the I-beam 8 and related components are lifted to the inspection vehicle 3 by the truck crane 2 .
[0025] S3: If Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, four hand hoists 9 are installed at the adjacent track connecting seats 7 in front and behind the upstream gantry 4 of the inspection vehicle 3, and two hanging I-beams 8 are set on both sides of the upstream gantry 4, which are fixed to the body truss rods of the inspection vehicle 3 with clips, and the hook at the bottom of the hand hoist 9 is connected to the hanging I-beam 8 with a wire rope. Then, an electric hoist 10 is installed on the track 6 just above the inspection vehicle 3, and the wire rope is used as a safety device to connect the body of the inspection vehicle 3 to the track 6 on the upstream and downstream sides to prevent the body of the inspection vehicle 3 from falling when the existing drive system 11 of the inspection vehicle 3 is replaced.
[0026] S4: Use the hand hoist 9 to lift the existing drive system 11 running wheel of the upstream inspection vehicle to 5 mm off the track, use the cutting machine to remove the existing drive system 11, lower the dismantled existing drive system 11 onto the inspection vehicle 3, and then transfer it to the bridge deck 1 via the truck crane 2.
[0027] S5: After the existing drive system 11 is dismantled, the electric hoist 10 is used to lift the new drive system connection base 12 to the top surface of the gantry 4 on the upstream side of the inspection vehicle 3, and the position of the new drive system connection base 12 is adjusted. The new drive system connection base 12 is welded to the upstream side gantry 4 on site.
[0028] S6: After the new drive system connecting seat 12 is installed, the new drive system walking mechanism 13 is hoisted to the installation position and assembled on the track 6 on site. After completion, it is connected to the hanging shaft of the new drive system connecting seat 12.
[0029] S7: After the new drive system is installed, the hand chain hoist 9 is loosened so that the running wheels of the new drive system fall on the track 6 to bear the weight of the inspection vehicle 3, thereby completing the replacement of the existing drive system on the upstream side.
[0030] Except that the lifting position and installation position are changed to the downstream side, the replacement method on the downstream side is the same as that on the upstream side. The replacement of the existing drive system 11 on the downstream side is completed in the same order as above, and then the hoisting I-beam 8, hand hoist 9, electric hoist 10 and safety wire rope are removed and transported to the bridge deck 1 together with other tools.
