Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a positioning balancer for bridge foundation pile installation, belonging to the technical field of positioning balancers for bridge foundation pile installation. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge foundation piles for steel structures need to be installed vertically. Existing bridge foundation pile installation methods involve lifting the piles vertically with hoisting equipment and moving them above the pile pit. Then, manual assistance is needed to position them. However, since the bridge foundation piles can only be in a vertical position when lifted, they cannot be completely vertically aligned. Therefore, workers are required to push them to achieve vertical alignment and use a spirit level for auxiliary measurement. This operation is very cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. To address these shortcomings, this invention proposes a positioning balancer for bridge foundation pile installation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a positioning balancer for bridge foundation pile installation to solve the existing problems.

A balance pushing adjustment component is laterally arranged below the balance detection component. The first adjustment end and the second adjustment end have the same structure.

[0008] When one of the two balancing and pushing adjustment components pushes the foundation pile forward or backward, it will activate the magnetic foundation pile's orientation adjustment plate to adjust the foundation pile's vertical alignment and balance.

[0009] A further improvement is that the right side of the adjusting seat is provided with a material plate swing groove, and the left side of the material plate swing groove is provided with a bearing insert. Furthermore, multiple balance telescopic group through holes are provided at intervals on both the front and rear sides of the material plate swing groove.

[0010] A further improvement is that the directional guide plate includes a bearing and a rotating shaft for fitting into the bearing slot, and the guide plate body is vertically arranged on the right side of the rotating shaft, and multiple electromagnetic chucks are spaced apart on the right side of the guide plate body.

[0012] A further improvement is that the balance frame includes a longitudinal arm, and a semi-circular arc frame is longitudinally arranged at the front end of the longitudinal arm. The rear center of the inner arc surface of the semi-circular arc frame has a first slot for the installation of the pressure stabilization component. The left center of the inner arc surface of the semi-circular arc frame has a second slot for the vertically spaced installation of the balance detection component and the balance push adjustment component. A soft pad is provided at the upper tail of the semi-circular arc frame. Multiple anti-jamming notches are also provided on the inner arc surface of the semi-circular arc frame.

[0017] A further improvement is that the horizontal adjusting support, the first ball bearing seat, and the second ball bearing seat are all existing technologies, and their structures will not be described in detail here.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0019] This invention provides a positioning and balancing device for bridge foundation pile installation. Through a structural combination design of a movable base, a lifting vertical beam, a fixed end, a balance adjustment end, a horizontal sensor, horizontal adjustment legs, a counterweight, and an operating platform, a positioning and balancing device for bridge foundation pile installation is constructed. The coordinated adjustment of the horizontal sensor and horizontal adjustment legs ensures that the lifting vertical beam is vertical at the construction site, facilitating subsequent vertical positioning and balance adjustment of the foundation pile by the fixed end and balance adjustment end. No manual assistance from personnel is required, saving time and effort.

[0020] The fixed end, which consists of the lifting slide, the first telescopic device, the adjusting seat, the adjusting fixed material plate, and the balance telescopic group, has lateral telescopic function, electromagnetic adsorption function, and front and back swing angle function. After the foundation pile is electromagnetically adsorbed, it can be pulled to the left to the middle of the cavity of the balance adjustment end. It can also ensure that the left and right sides of the foundation pile are in a vertical state. The fixed end only needs to have the front and back swing angle function to assist the balance adjustment end in adjusting the foundation pile vertically.

[0021] The balance adjustment end, composed of two adjustment ends consisting of a slider, a balance sleeve, a pressure stabilizing component, a balance detection component, and a balance pushing adjustment component, combined with a longitudinal sliding beam, has the following functions: first, it presses the left and right sides of the foundation pile with equal strength to enhance the electromagnetic adsorption stability of the directional fixing plate; second, it uses the balance detection component to press the foundation pile from the front and back to detect which side it is tilting; and third, it uses real-time infrared sensors to assist the corresponding balance telescopic group in pushing the front and back sides of the tilted foundation pile into a vertical state. The pressure stabilizing component, balance detection component, and balance pushing adjustment component on the balance adjustment end all adopt ball bearing pressure seats and adjusting pressure rollers, which do not completely press the surface of the foundation pile, making it easier for the lifting vertical beam to drive the foundation pile, which has been electromagnetically adsorbed and vertically positioned and balanced on the fixing end, to descend and be inserted into the foundation pile pit.

[0044] Working principle:

[0045] When installing bridge foundation piles, first move the equipment to the side of the foundation pile pit. Then, adjust the horizontal adjustment leg 6 and, with reference to the horizontal sensor 5, adjust the moving seat 1 to a horizontal state, so that the corresponding lifting vertical beam 2 is in a vertical state, and the fixed end 3 is directly above the foundation pile pit. Then, use an external hoist to lift the bridge foundation pile and move it to the right side of the adjusting fixed plate 34. At this time, the first adjusting end 42 and the second adjusting end 43 are adjusted to an open state. Then, extend the first telescopic device 32 to the right so that each electromagnetic chuck 344 can attract the left side of the foundation pile a1. Then, retract the first telescopic device 32 to the left so that the foundation pile a1 is pulled to the left to the middle between the first adjusting end 42 and the second adjusting end 43. Then, the first adjusting end 42 and the second adjusting end 43 are... The two adjusting ends 43 close together, so that the two semi-circular arc frames 4222 close together to form a ring frame, so that the base pile a1 is in the middle of the ring frame. Then, the second telescopic devices 4231 on the two pressure stabilizing components 423 extend synchronously, so that the two first ball bearing pressure seats 4233 press against the left and right sides of the base pile a1 with the same force. The first pressure sensor 4232 senses and ensures that the pressure of the two pressure stabilizing components 423 is consistent. It should be noted that since the adjusting and fixing plate 34 is in a vertical state, the left and right sides of the adsorbed base pile a1 can also be kept in a vertical state. Furthermore, the two pressure stabilizing components 423 press and reinforce the base pile a1, so that the base pile a1 will not be pulled apart by external force due to left and right pulling forces.

[0046] It should also be noted that the front and rear sides of the foundation pile a1 will have a tilt angle at this time. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the front and rear tilt of the foundation pile a1 to a vertical state through the cooperation of the balance detection component 424 and the balance push adjustment component 425. First, the third expansion joints 4241 on the two balance detection components 424 extend synchronously with the same stroke, so that the two second ball bearing pressure seats 4246 press against the front and rear sides of the foundation pile a1 in a buffering manner through the buffer seat composed of the pressure rod slide 4242, the pressure rod 4243 and the second spring 4244. Because the foundation pile a1 is tilted forward and backward, the vertical spacing between the two infrared sensors 4247 on the two infrared sensor frames 4245 is different. Then, the balance push adjustment component 425 below the infrared sensor 4247 with the shorter spacing between the two infrared sensors 4247 at the lower end is adjusted. Through the extension of the fourth telescopic device 4251, the adjustment push rollers 4253 on the balance adjustment plate 4252 push the front or rear side of the foundation pile a1 at a variable angle, and are simultaneously adjusted towards the fixed material plate 3. 4 will be linked to swing back and forth accordingly, and the balance telescopic group 35 will also telescopically adjust the alignment plate 34 as it swings back and forth. At this time, the four infrared sensors 4247 will sense in real time. When the sensing distance between the upper and lower infrared sensors 4247 on the two infrared sensor frames 4245 is equal, it means that the front and rear sides of the foundation pile a1 have been adjusted to a vertical state, thus obtaining that all sides of the foundation pile a1 are in a vertical state. Then, another balance push adjustment component 425 also extends, so that the adjustment push roller 4253 also lightly pushes against the foundation pile a1. The other side of the front and rear sides of pile a1 is pressed down by two ball bearing seats, while the front and rear sides of pile a1 are pressed down by two balance adjustment plates 4252. This ensures that pile a1 will not tilt when subjected to the tension of external hoisting equipment during subsequent descent. Finally, the lifting end of the lifting beam 2 is brought down vertically to the fixed end 3, so that the lower end of the vertical pile a1 is inserted into the pile pit in a completely vertical manner, thus completing the vertical and balanced installation of pile a1 by the equipment of this invention.
