[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The technical solution of this invention has the following innovative points: Innovation Point 1: Compatibility and Synergy between Large Sprocket and Circular Rail Traditional large sprockets are integral and cannot be adapted to rails of different diameters; this invention adopts a "segmented chain tooth unit" structure, which can adjust the number of splicing segments according to the diameter of the circular rail, resulting in high adaptability; Innovation Point 2: The reusable core components (rotating outriggers, motor reducer, large / small sprockets) with detachable structure and mechanical stability all adopt "quick-release bolts", which shortens the disassembly time; the safety of reuse is verified through mechanical calculations: the fatigue strength of the rotating outrigger bolt connection (strength decay rate ≤5% after repeated disassembly and assembly 5 times) and the wear of the sprocket tooth surface (≤0.8mm after 8 reuses, still meeting the transmission requirements) have a reuse rate of over 90% (the reuse rate of traditional devices is 0%). Innovation Point 3: The sliding pair of the skateboard and the power control work together with precision, resulting in a low coefficient of friction and low power demand; the motor reducer adopts "frequency conversion speed regulation + torque feedback" to adjust the speed in real time and avoid precision deviation caused by torque fluctuations during rotation.
[0016] The present invention discloses a chain-driven rotating device for bridge rotation, wherein the rotating outriggers, large sprockets, transmission chain, small sprockets, motor reducer, and fixed base are all detachable and can be repeatedly applied to multiple projects, reducing project costs. Furthermore, the installation accuracy of chain drive is much lower than that of gear drive, shortening the installation period.
[0017] The method of this invention is based on the core innovation of "segmented adaptation, quick disassembly and reuse, and low-friction precision transmission" of the chain-type rotation drive device. It focuses on the whole process of "component processing, on-site installation, debugging, rotation operation, disassembly and reuse", and clarifies the operation specifications, technical parameters and quality control standards of each link. This ensures that the device can be repeatedly implemented in bridge pier rotation projects and can fully reflect the technical advantages of "reducing installation accuracy requirements, improving reuse rate and ensuring rotation accuracy".
[0018] By clearly defining the operational specifications and technical parameters of each step, the method of this invention not only enables the repeatability of the device, but also fully embodies the innovative value of "segmented adaptation, quick disassembly and reuse, and low-friction precision transmission," solving the technical pain points of traditional drive systems such as "difficult installation, high cost, and non-reusability."
