[0021] Specifically, the edge side of the outer surface of the first rubber belt 61 and the second rubber belt 62 is fixedly connected inside the first steel member 1 and the second steel member 2, the edge side of the lower surface of the first rubber belt 61 is fixedly connected with the edge side of the upper surface of the second rubber belt 62, the bottom of the air bag 63 is fixedly connected with the air inlet pipe 64, the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 64 penetrates through the second rubber belt 62, and the output end of the air inlet pipe 64 is threadedly connected with the cover 65.
[0022] Specifically, the inside of the connecting sleeve shell 901 is provided with an inner groove 906, the output end of the displacement sensor 907 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the inner groove 906, and the outer surface of the moving plate 902 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the inner groove 906.

[0026] In use, when a vehicle passes over the expansion joint, the first moving seat 53 and the second moving seat 54 are subjected to downward pressure, and the rubber ring 56 is deformed under pressure, so that the pressure exerted by the vehicle is reduced by a portion of the elastic force of the rubber ring 56, so that the pressure on the expansion joint is reduced, and the remaining pressure acts on the pressure sensor 52, so that the pressure sensor 52 can monitor the pressure on the expansion joint in real time, so that when the expansion joint is damaged due to excessive pressure, maintenance personnel can timely repair.
[0027] By means of the expansion device 6, in use, the air bag 63 is inflated to a certain pressure through the air inlet pipe 64, so that the outer surface of the air bag 63 is in close contact with the outer surfaces of the first rubber belt 61 and the second rubber belt 62. When the expansion joint expands or contracts due to thermal expansion and contraction, the air bag 63 deforms together with the first rubber belt 61 and the second rubber belt 62. The elastic force of the air bag 63 when deformed can exert an action force on the first rubber belt 61 and the second rubber belt 62 in the opposite direction of the deformation direction, which can avoid the situation that the first rubber belt 61 and the second rubber belt 62 are excessively deformed after long-term use, resulting in poor elastic force, thereby prolonging the service life of the device.

By pulling the movable rod 911 upward, the bottom of the movable rod 911 is separated from the limiting hole 909, the extension spring 912 is elongated and has elastic force, the moving plate 902 is controlled to move in extension and retraction to adjust the length of the displacement monitoring device 9 as a whole, until the length is adapted to the width of the expansion joint. The movable rod 911 is loosened, the elastic force of the extension spring 912 drives the movable rod 911 to move downward, so that the bottom of the movable rod 911 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 909, so that the moving plate 902 is limited at the current position. The displacement monitoring device 9 can be adjusted as needed to adapt to expansion joints of different widths. In the process of expansion and contraction of the expansion joint, the connecting sleeve shell 901 and the moving plate 902 are relatively displaced, the moving plate 902 moves along the inner surface of the inner groove 906, and the displacement sensor 907 is stretched under force, so that the expansion and contraction amount of the expansion joint can be monitored in real time. When the expansion and contraction amount exceeds the set value, the buzzer 908 receives a signal and issues an alarm, so that maintenance personnel can timely detect and repair.
