Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of replacing defective beams, and in particular to an auxiliary device and a construction method for replacing defective beams on existing railway lines. Background Art
[0002] Railway bridges, after long-term use and erosion by saline-alkali environments, can suffer from various levels of concrete cracking, falling blocks, and exposed rebar damage, posing a serious threat to railway safety. This necessitates beam replacement. When a bridge spans a river, flanked by fish ponds or salt ponds, with muddy ground beneath the bridge, and narrow, winding roads around the bridge site, crane-mounted beam erection is impractical and requires a bridge erection machine.
[0003] When the curve radius of the bridge is small, the bridge-building machine is very likely to overturn when passing through the hole, affecting construction safety. The current common solution is to erect steel support columns on both sides of the pier for auxiliary support. When the bridge crosses a river and there are fish ponds or salt ponds on both sides, and the ground under the bridge is in silt, this method cannot achieve auxiliary support. Even if the bridge is in other environments suitable for support, it will affect traffic under the bridge.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an auxiliary device and construction method for replacing defective beams on existing railway lines that can quickly, safely and effectively complete beam replacement construction, minimize the impact on operating lines, and ensure the safety of operating line construction.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Example:
[0035] Depend on Figure 1-4As shown, the auxiliary device is used for replacing the diseased beam body of the existing railway line. The auxiliary device is fixed on the outer peripheral side of the pier 1 and is used to extend the length of the cap beam ear wall 2 on the upper side of the pier 1. It includes two clamps 3 enclosed on the outer peripheral side of the pier 1, and an extension support 4 provided on at least one of the clamps 3. The upper end surface of the extension support 4 is flush with the top end of the cap beam ear wall 2.
[0036] The extension support 4 is provided at the top of the hoop 3, with a joist 11 provided between the hoop 3 and the extension support 4. The joist 11 is vertically fixed to the extension support 4. The extension support 4 includes a support portion 41 and an extension portion 42. The support portion 41 is connected to the hoop 3, and its shape conforms to the outer contour of the cap beam ear wall 2. The extension portion 42 is flush with the upper end surface of the cap beam ear wall 2, and is used to extend the length of the cap beam ear wall 2.
[0037] A temporary locking structure is provided between the two clamps 3; this structure includes bolt lugs 5 fixed to the clamps and bolts 6 located between the bolt lugs 5 on the two clamps 3. The clamps 3 are provided with several pre-set holes, each containing shear pins 7 for securing the clamps 3 to the pier 1. A gap is provided between the clamps 3 and the pier 1, which is filled with concrete.
[0038] Construction method of auxiliary device for replacing defective beams on existing railway lines,
[0039] (1) Fix the auxiliary device on the outer periphery of the pier of the bridge with a small curve radius:
[0040] Enclose the two hoops 3 on the top of the pier 1, so that the extended part 42 of the extended support 4 is flush with the cap beam ear wall 2, fix the bolt ear plate 5 of the hoop 3 with bolts 6, drive the shear nails 7 into the reserved holes to fix the hoop 3 to the pier 1, and fill the gap between the pier 1 and the hoop 3 with concrete for reinforcement.
[0041] (2) Transport the bridge erection machine to the bridge head through-hole:
[0042] (3) The bridge erection machine passes through the hole to remove the old beam and erect the new beam:
[0043] The bridge-erecting machine passes the 5th and 6th holes, and dismantles the old bridges at the 5th and 6th holes. The dismantled old beams are transported out, and the new beams are transported to the construction site. The erection of the new T-beam at the 6th hole is carried out. After the erection of the new beam is completed, the bridge is immediately connected horizontally. Then the bridge-erecting machine passes the 4th hole. After passing the hole, a temporary line is laid above the new beam at the 6th hole. Then the old beam at the 4th hole is dismantled, and the new beam at the 5th hole is erected. The subsequent steps are carried out according to the steps of "passing 1 hole, dismantling 1 hole, and erecting 1 hole" until the erection is completed.
[0044] 1. Testing, dismantling and transportation of old beams
[0045] Due to the serious deformation at both ends of the old bridge, the beam ends are all stuck and the gap is small. First, the old beam is tied with steel wire ropes, and then four 50t jacks are placed on the end partitions on both sides of the old beam. Steel plates are placed on the jacks, and the end partitions are slowly lifted synchronously. The beam is lifted after it is completely separated from the support. Due to the serious aging of the beam, a beam guard steel plate is placed at the rope binding position of the old beam bottom plate. After the beam is lifted, it is placed on the trolley waiting behind the bridge erection machine and transported after the reinforcement is completed.
[0046] 2. Remove existing pad stones and supports
[0047] After the old beams are dismantled, the elevation of the existing pad stones is measured. Use a jackhammer and an electric hammer to chisel off the old pad stones and the surrounding area. After the support bolts are exposed, use an air cutter to cut them off. Stop chiseling after chiseling to the designed elevation of the leveling mortar bottom and meeting the size of the steel pad stone base plate. The dry hard mortar leveling layer is controlled at 2.5cm.
[0048] 3. Installation of steel pads and supports
[0049] Use grouting material to fill the steel pad stone densely in advance. After the pier cap is chiseled to the designed elevation, mark out the center of the steel pad stone and the embedded bolts, and use a high-power water drill to drill holes. The diameter of the hole is 11cm and the depth is ≥38cm. After the drilling is completed, lay dry hard mortar on the top of the existing concrete for leveling. After leveling, install the steel pad stone and embedded bolts, and mark out and check the elevation of the steel pad stone again to ensure that the center coordinates and elevation deviations are no more than 2mm. Place the support on the top of the steel pad stone, and finally grout the anchor hole and the surrounding area of the steel pad stone.
[0050] 4. Transportation and erection of new beams
[0051] The new beams are fed directly from the crane to the bridge erection machine to complete the new beam erection. To prevent the wire rope from damaging the corners of the beam bottom plate during the beam hoisting process, 8 sets of steel corner guards are processed.
[0052] During the placement of the new beam, the position should be constantly adjusted to ensure that the bolts on the supports can be installed. The support alignment should be based on the cross line of the pad stone. The support position should not be adjusted. Tighten the upper steel plate bolts to connect the support to the beam body as a whole.
[0053] After the beam is dropped, check the status of both ends of the beam. After ensuring that the center line of the beam, the width of the beam seam, and the verticality are correct, weld the supports to the steel pad stone to complete the beam drop. After the beam is erected, use jacks and logs for temporary support and reinforcement.
[0054] 5. Horizontal connection of beams
[0055] After the new beams are erected, the transverse connection of the bridge will be carried out immediately, mainly welding the cross-diaphragm connecting steel plates, and the welds must be full and continuous; the prestressed steel bars are temporarily tightened and connected, the cross-diaphragm support formwork is erected, and C55 fine stone concrete is poured.
[0056] 6. Temporary line laying
[0057] A wheel-rail beam transporter was used to remove and transport the old beams and install the new T-beams. Therefore, after each pass of the bridge-erecting machine, a temporary track was laid behind the machine to accommodate the operation of the beam transporter. Based on the rail sawing points and the support positions of the bridge-erecting machine's middle legs, track calculations were performed in advance, and four 12.5-meter Type 50 tool rails were installed, connected to the wheel guard rails, to serve as temporary tracks.
[0058] Temporary track is laid from the sixth hole to the third hole. After each hole the bridge-erecting crane passes, a layer of ballast is laid on the beam surface behind the center leg, and sleepers and temporary tool rails are installed. During the beam erection process, temporary track (approximately 16-20 meters) is laid each time the bridge-erecting crane passes each hole, for a total of four times. Holes 1 and 2 do not involve the traveling bridge-erecting crane or beam-carrying platform, so temporary track does not need to be laid.
[0059] (4) When replacing the beam of a bridge with a small curve radius, use auxiliary devices to extend the length of the cap beam ear wall to prevent the bridge erection machine from tipping over:
[0060] When replacing the beam of a bridge with a small curve radius, the front transverse track 8 of the bridge-building machine 10 first passes through the hole and is placed at the position of the cover beam ear wall 2 and the extension 42 of the extended support 4. After the front transverse track 8 is placed stably, the front support leg 9 is moved laterally toward the cover ear wall 2, and the rear support leg is moved in the opposite direction to complete the turning of the bridge-building machine.
[0061] The connecting lines of the beams at the small curve radius bridge are arcs, not straight lines. When the bridge erection machine moves forward through the hole, it cannot complete the steering at the same time. It is necessary to complete the forward movement and place the front transverse track 8 on the cap beam ear wall 2 before the front legs 9 and rear legs of the bridge erection machine 10 can move in the opposite direction to achieve steering. Figure 3 In the middle, when the curve radius is too small, the front transverse track 8 cannot be completely placed on the cap beam ear wall 2, and point A is in a suspended position. The bridge erection machine is very likely to roll over due to the shift of the center of gravity; Figure 4 After using the auxiliary device for this application, the transverse track 8 can be completely placed on the cap beam ear wall 2 and the auxiliary device, avoiding the occurrence of hanging conditions and ensuring construction safety.
[0062] After the construction is completed, the extension portion 42 of the extension support 4 can be removed, and the remaining support portion 41 can increase the support area of the pier 1 and assist the pier 1 in supporting the bridge.
[0063] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
