TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of steel pipe Bailey bridge construction, in particular to a Bailey bridge steel pipe pile construction safety operation platform and a construction method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of steel pipe Bailey bridge construction, the steel pipe pile construction needs to use a guide frame to assist in positioning and guiding the steel pipe pile. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of construction personnel, an operation platform needs to be installed on the guide frame to facilitate the work of the workers in measuring and positioning, cutting the steel pipe pile, welding the cross brace and scissors brace, welding the pile head stiffener plate, installing the load-bearing cross beam, and other work.
[0003] The steel pipe pile construction process includes lifting operation, water operation, high-altitude operation, and fire operation, and the construction safety risk is high. Therefore, the safety management of the steel pipe pile construction process is a key link in the safety management of the bridge construction process.
[0004] In the existing construction method, the horizontal rod of the guide frame needs to pass through the space where the steel pipe pile cross brace and scissors brace are located in the bridge direction, and is located below the load-bearing cross beam. The operation platform is arranged on both sides of the steel pipe pile in the bridge direction. Therefore, the guide frame and the operation platform intersect and interfere with the subsequent steel pipe pile cross brace and scissors brace, pile head stiffener plate, and load-bearing cross beam in space, and the subsequent work cannot be completed without retaining the guide frame and the operation platform. Therefore, the construction is generally carried out according to the following method (see Figures 1-5 ; Figure 1 Steel pipe pile insertion and cutting, Figure 2 Removal of guide frame and operation platform, Figure 3 Hoisting of operation platform, Figure 4 Installation of cross brace, scissors brace, and load-bearing beam, Figure 5 Removal of operation platform):
[0005] Step one: steel pipe pile insertion and cutting of pile head are completed;
[0006] Step two: remove the guide frame and the operation platform;
[0007] Step three: the operation platform (people ride the operation platform) is hoisted by the crane to the steel pipe column, and the operation platform is hung on the steel pipe column pile head through the steel wire rope and the shackle to form a fixed operation platform; or the crane is used for long-time hoisting operation platform for operation;
[0008] Step four: weld the cross brace and scissors brace, the pile head stiffener plate, and install the load-bearing cross beam. Use chain hoist or use the crane to assist in lowering the operation platform to different heights for welding of the cross brace;
[0009] Step five: after the completion of the steel pipe column construction, the workers in the operation platform are hoisted to the bridge by the crane.
[0010] In the existing construction method, the operating personnel cannot complete all the work of the steel pipe pile construction in a safe operation platform at one time, and need to be hoisted to the steel pipe pile by a crane for operation. This behavior of "using a crane to transport personnel" violates the safety management regulations such as article 4.1.17 of "Construction Machinery Construction Safety Technical Regulations" (JGJ33-2012), and the lifting action of the platform needs to be assisted by a chain hoist and a crane in the construction process, which is a relatively complicated process and has high safety risks. SUMMARY
[0011] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a Bailey bridge steel pipe pile construction safety operation platform and a construction method. The structure and construction method of the safety operation platform for the operating personnel in the whole process of the construction of the Bailey bridge from the steel pipe pile insertion to the installation of the pile top beam are solved, and the unsafe behavior of the operating personnel in the existing construction method, i.e. the operating personnel need to ride a crane to reach the steel pipe pile position by a hanging basket for operation, is avoided.

After the above work is completed, the inner and outer upper platforms and the outer lower platform are removed, the horizontal rod of the guide frame is retracted, and finally the guide frame and the inner lower platform are hoisted away from the steel pipe pile by a crane. The operation platform is designed in a fabricated manner, and the installation and removal are performed in sections, so that the high-risk behavior such as "hoisting the operating personnel by a crane" in the existing construction method is avoided.

[0071] The retraction process of the guide frame;
[0072] Step one: connect the pull rod, nut and beam, extend the bidirectional jack piston rod, connect the beam and retract, transmit the pushing force to the rolled thread steel pull rod on both sides, and finally push the inner rod out of the outer rod;
[0073] Step two: after the inner rod is retracted into the outer rod, insert the tail bolt to limit the relative movement of the inner and outer rods; rotate the connecting sleeve to separate the pull rod from the segmented line, and use the crane to lift out the pull rod A section and the beam for proper fixing and storage.
[0074] The process of steel pipe pile construction using the safety operation platform of the present patent will be described in detail below.

[0078] Step two: use the crane to install the assembled guide frame to the end of the front end beam;
[0079] Step three: use the crane to install the remaining operation platform to the guide frame and reliably connect them.
[0080] (2) Steel pipe pile construction on the safe operation platform;
[0081] After the safe operation platform is installed, the steel pipe pile is inserted and driven, the pile head is cut, the cross brace and scissors brace are installed (welded into a whole and hoisted at one time), the pile head stiffening plate is welded, and the bearing cross beam is installed on the platform in sequence. The cross brace, scissors brace and bearing cross beam are hoisted into the design position from the space between the inner and outer platforms.

[0084] Step two: the horizontal rod of the guide frame is retracted; Figure 17 Dismantling step two;
[0085] Step three: first, the guide frame, ladder and inner lower platform are hoisted away by using a crane; then, the inner lower platform is separated from the guide frame and stacked (this process is the reverse of the installation process). Figure 18 Dismantling step three.
[0086] The patent has the following advantages: using the construction safe operation platform and the construction method proposed in the patent, the operating personnel can complete all the work such as steel pipe guiding, positioning, insertion, cutting, cross brace and scissors brace installation, and bearing cross beam installation on the safe operation platform, and finally the operation platform is dismantled in sections.
