Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bridge construction, and more specifically, to a rapid beam replacement unit and system for railway steel bridges. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of steel structure bridge construction, in-service bridges have also begun to suffer from defects such as coating deterioration, steel plate corrosion, and weld cracking, leading to reduced durability, shortened service life, and excessively high maintenance costs. This is because steel structures suffer from corrosion, which reduces the net cross-sectional area and increases the corresponding stress, thereby reducing the load-bearing capacity of the steel beams. In severe cases, it can even lead to component fracture, affecting the structural safety and service life of the bridge. Therefore, strengthening the maintenance and management of bridges during their operation has become an urgent problem to be solved for steel structure bridges.

[0003] Currently, steel bridge replacement mainly involves using cranes such as truck cranes to remove the old beams and install the new ones. However, since railway steel beams often weigh over 100 tons, two large-tonnage truck cranes are needed, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, this method of beam replacement is inefficient, requiring prolonged track closures, while the maintenance windows provided by operating lines are short and cannot meet the construction requirements of those lines. Transporting new beams and removing old beams requires customized vehicles and demanding road conditions, necessitating paved roads, which increases both time and cost. When the bridge to be replaced is located in canyons, rivers, or other areas inaccessible to truck cranes, steel bridge replacement cannot be carried out.

[0004] Therefore, a rapid beam replacement unit and system for railway steel bridges is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The boom 100 of the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit device is supported on the two slewing frames 440 at both ends, and the bottom of each slewing frame 440 is connected to a circumferentially extending sliding seat 450. The bottom of the sliding seat 450 is provided with a first polytetrafluoroethylene plate 460, and the top of the fixed frame 420 is provided with a second polytetrafluoroethylene plate 470 that slides with the first polytetrafluoroethylene plate 460. The self-propelled transport railway flatcar 410 includes a car body 411, two parallel tracks 412 on the car body 411, and two trolleys 413. The two trolleys 413 can move along the two tracks 412 on the car body 411. Four-axle bogies 414 are connected to both ends of the bottom of the car body 411. A power system 415 for driving its movement is provided at the bottom of the car body 411.

[0029] The railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit includes a boom 100, two lifting trolleys 110 that are movable along the length of the boom 100 and connected to the bottom of the boom 100, and two columns 200 that are respectively connected to both ends of the boom 100. The bottom of the boom 100 is provided with ear beams 120 on both sides. The two sides of the lifting trolleys 110 are respectively connected with two rolling wheels 130 that roll against the top surface of the opposite ear beams 120. The lifting trolleys 110 are used to lift and transport bridge beams. Each column 200 includes a crossbeam sleeve 210 that slides through the arm 100, two crossbeam inner sleeves 220 that are respectively slidably inserted at both ends of the crossbeam sleeve 210, two distribution crossbeams 250, two inner columns 260, two intermediate columns 270, two outer columns 280, two cylinder seats 290, two lifting cylinders 300, and two horizontal support legs 230. The arm 100 is connected to a center pin 240 that slides through the crossbeam sleeve 210. The arm 100 has a through hole for the crossbeam sleeve 210 to pass through. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the crossbeam sleeve 210 so that the crossbeam sleeve 210 can be rotated around the center pin 240. Axial rotation, the two ends of the crossbeam outer sleeve 210 are respectively provided with two sets of limiting holes 360 arranged at intervals along its length direction, each set including two limiting holes 360 arranged vertically at intervals, the two crossbeam inner sleeves 220 are respectively provided with two locking holes 370 arranged vertically at intervals, the two locking holes 370 of each crossbeam inner sleeve 220 correspond to one set of limiting holes 360 at one end of the crossbeam outer sleeve 210, and two locking bolts 380 are respectively connected to the two ends of the crossbeam outer sleeve 210. The two locking bolts 380 pass through one set of limiting holes 360 and two corresponding locking holes 370 in sequence to connect the crossbeam inner sleeve 220 to the crossbeam outer sleeve 210.

[0030] Two distribution beams 250 are respectively connected to the ends of the inner sleeves 220 away from the outer sleeves 210. Two inner columns 260 are connected to the bottom of each distribution beam 250. The bottom of each inner column 260 is slidably inserted into the top of an intermediate column 270, and the bottom of each intermediate column 270 is slidably inserted into the top of an outer column 280. Each inner column 260 has two connecting holes 261 spaced apart along the height direction, each intermediate column 270 has three connecting holes 261 spaced apart along the height direction, and each outer column 280 has four connecting holes 261 spaced apart along the height direction. Each inner column 260 and its corresponding intermediate column 270, and each intermediate column 270 and its corresponding outer column 280, is connected by a connecting pin 310 passing through two corresponding connecting holes 261. Two horizontal support legs 230 are rotatably connected to the bottoms of two outer columns 280 located on either side of the arm 100, about a vertical axis.

[0031] Two outer columns 280 located on the same side of the boom 100 are connected by a cylinder seat 290. The cylinder seat 290 is provided with two lifting grooves 320 extending along the height direction. The lifting grooves 320 are provided with cylinder slippers 330 that can slide along them. Two lifting cylinders 300 are respectively connected to two cylinder slippers 330. The cylinder rods of the two lifting cylinders 300 are respectively hinged to the corresponding side distribution beams 250. Each lifting groove 320 is provided with two fixing holes 340 arranged at intervals along the height direction. Each cylinder slipper 330 is connected to two fixing pins 350 that correspond one-to-one with each lifting groove 320. When the cylinder slipper 330 is raised or lowered, each fixing pin 350 is connected to a fixing hole 340 to connect the cylinder slipper 330 to the cylinder seat 290.

[0032] The railway steel bridge rapid girder replacement unit system provided in this application embodiment includes five railway flatcars 400 and two self-propelled transport railway flatcars 410 connected sequentially from front to back. The self-propelled transport railway flatcars 410 are self-powered and movable. The second and fourth railway flatcars 400 are each equipped with a boom bogie. The two boom bogies are used to support the two ends of the boom 100 of the railway steel bridge rapid girder replacement unit for easy transfer. During operation, the bottom of the car body 411 of the self-propelled transport railway flatcar 410 is equipped with a power system 415 for driving its movement. This system is used to traction the railway flatcar 400 and carry new bridge girders, rail panels, and materials. At the same time, the car body 411 is equipped with two tracks 412 and two carrying trolleys 413 that can move along the two tracks 412 to adjust the position of the transported bridge girders, rail panels, and materials.

[0033] The boom bogies installed on the second and fourth railway flatcars 400 include a fixed frame 420, a slewing support 430 rotatably connected to the top of the fixed frame 420 about a vertical axis, and a slewing frame 440 connected to the top of the slewing support 430. When the boom 100 of the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit is supported on the slewing frames 440 of the two boom bogies for transport, when the railway is curved, the slewing frame 440 rotates relative to the fixed frame 420 through the slewing support 430 to ensure that the center lines of the two slewing frames 440 are always on a straight line to adapt to the stable support of the boom 100 of the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit by the two railway flatcars 400 under the curved railway.

[0034] The railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit is a single boom 100 structure. The front and rear ends of the boom 100 are respectively connected to a column 200 for supporting the roadbed or bridge deck during operation. The bottom of the boom 100 is provided with ear beams 120 on both sides. Two lifting trolleys 110 are respectively moved along the boom 100 by rolling and pressing against the two ear beams 120 via hanging wheels 130 to lift the beams. The under-mounted lifting trolleys 110 can effectively reduce the overall size of the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit to meet the requirements of tunnel passage.

[0035] The column 200 includes a crossbeam sleeve 210 that slides through a through hole in the boom 100. The boom 100 is connected to a center pin 240 that slides through the middle of the crossbeam sleeve 210, allowing the crossbeam sleeve 210 to rotate relative to the boom 100 around the center pin 240. This ensures that the inner column 260, middle column 270, and outer column 280 connected to the crossbeam inner sleeves 220 at both ends of the crossbeam sleeve 210 on curved routes can also be stably supported on the roadbed or bridge surface. The crossbeam inner sleeves 220 are slidably inserted at both ends of the crossbeam sleeve 210, which allows the crossbeam inner sleeves 220 to be easily retracted into the crossbeam sleeve 210 during transportation, reducing the size of the column 200 to facilitate passage through tunnels. During operation, the inner sleeve 220 of the crossbeam extends out of the outer sleeve 210 of the crossbeam. Each inner sleeve 220 of the crossbeam is connected to two inner columns 260 through a distribution crossbeam 250. The bottoms of the two inner columns 260 are slidably inserted into the tops of two intermediate columns 270. The bottom of each intermediate column 270 is slidably inserted into the top of an outer column 280. The two outer columns 280 located on the same side of the boom 100 are connected by a cylinder seat 290. The cylinder seat 290 has two lifting grooves 320 extending along the height direction. The lifting grooves 320 have cylinder slippers 330 that can slide along them. The two lifting cylinders 300 are respectively connected to the cylinder slippers 330 and the corresponding side distribution crossbeams. The crossbeam 250 is hinged, allowing two lifting cylinders 300 to drive the intermediate column 270 to extend and retract relative to the outer column 280, and the inner column 260 to extend and retract relative to the intermediate column 270. This adjusts the height of the horizontal support leg 230 connected to the bottom of the outer column 280, so that the horizontal support leg 230 can be retracted during transport and extended to support the roadbed or bridge surface during operation. The cylinder seat 290 is provided with a lifting groove 320 extending along the height direction. The lifting groove 320 is provided with fixing holes 340 spaced apart along the height direction. The cylinder slipper 330 is connected to fixing pins 350 corresponding to each lifting groove 320. When the cylinder slipper 330 is raised or lowered, each fixing pin 350 is connected to a fixing pin 350. The fixing hole 340 connects the hydraulic cylinder slipper 330 to the hydraulic cylinder seat 290. The hydraulic cylinder slipper 330 can be fixed in the upper, middle and lower fixing holes 340 respectively to adjust the position of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 300 connected to the hydraulic cylinder slipper 330. This adjusts the degree to which the hydraulic cylinder rod of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 300 drives the inner column 260 and the middle column 270 to extend and retract when it extends and retracts. The two horizontal support legs 230 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the two outer columns 280 located on both sides of the boom 100 around the vertical axis. This allows the horizontal support legs 230 to be rotated to be parallel to the boom 100 and then retracted during transportation, and to be rotated to be perpendicular to the boom 100 and then supported on the roadbed or bridge surface during operation.

[0036] The deployment method of the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit device in the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit system provided in this application embodiment is as follows: Step 1: The railway flatcar 400 and the self-propelled transport railway flatcar 410 unit carry the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit from the base to the beam replacement position. The railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit is in transport state and the two ends of the boom 100 are respectively supported on the two slewing frames 440. Step 2: Extend the two inner sleeves 220 of the crossbeam from both ends of the outer sleeve 210 of the crossbeam by a predetermined length, and pass the locking bolts 380 through a set of limiting holes 360 and two corresponding locking holes 370 in sequence to connect the inner sleeves 220 of the crossbeam to the outer sleeve 210 of the crossbeam and fix them.

[0037] Step 3: After pulling out the connecting pin 310, control the cylinder rods of the two lifting cylinders 300 to extend the inner column 260 and the middle column 270 downwards relative to the middle column 270 and the outer column 280 respectively, so that the two horizontal support legs 230 move close to the upper surface of the bridge. Step 4: Rotate the two horizontal support legs 230 by 90 degrees around the vertical axis until they are facing closer to each other, and then fix them.

[0038] Step 5: Control the cylinder rods of the two lifting cylinders 300 to extend further, causing the inner column 260 and the middle column 270 to extend downwards relative to the middle column 270 and the outer column 280, respectively, so that the two horizontal support legs 230 are supported on the road surface or bridge surface. Control the cylinder rods of the two lifting cylinders 300 to extend further, pushing the inner column 260 and the middle column 270 to continue to extend, so that the boom 100 is separated from the two boom bogies and lifted upwards. After it is in place, insert the connecting pins 310 into the connecting holes 261 on the middle column 270 and the outer column 280 respectively, and then pass through the corresponding connecting holes 261 on the inner column 260 and the middle column 270, connecting and fixing the inner column 260 and the middle column 270, and the middle column 270 and the outer column 280. The railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit is in working condition.

[0039] This application also provides a method for rapid replacement of railway steel bridges under operational conditions, which is carried out using the aforementioned rapid beam replacement system for railway steel bridges, and includes the following steps: Step 1: Select a suitable number of stations along the railway line as construction sites. After manufacturing new steel beams at the construction sites, use two self-propelled railway flatcars (410) to pull five railway flatcars (400) to transport the new steel beams and the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit to the beam replacement position. Step 2: Deploy and support the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit on the roadbed or bridge deck; Step 3: The two self-propelled transport railway flatcars 410 are separated. The first self-propelled transport railway flatcar 410 moves forward and moves away from the steel beam to be replaced. After removing the old rail panel of the preset length above the steel beam to be replaced, it is hoisted to the second self-propelled transport railway flatcar 410 using the railway steel bridge rapid beam replacement unit. The old rail panel of the preset length to be removed is 12.5 meters of track + 12.5 meters of track + L-meter short rail. Step 4: After the second section of the self-propelled transport railway flatcar 410 leaves the bridge deck and moves to the bridgehead, the old rail panels are dismantled. The old wooden sleepers are temporarily placed at the bridgehead. The old wooden sleepers and the L-meter short rails with drilled holes are reserved for later use. The other dismantled rails are placed together on the second section of the self-propelled transport railway flatcar 410. A small excavator is used to clear the ballast. Step 5: The second section of the self-propelled railway flatcar 410 is moved to the beam replacement position and the old steel beam is removed.
