Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of road construction materials and engineering, and particularly relates to a cleaning-free device for expansion joints of bridge steel sections. Background Art
[0002] The function of bridge expansion joints is to adjust the displacement and connection between the superstructure caused by vehicle loads and bridge construction materials. During operation, the expansion joints are required to be able to freely expand and contract in both directions parallel and perpendicular to the bridge axis, be firm and reliable, and be smooth without sudden jumps and noise when vehicles pass by; they must be able to prevent rainwater and garbage and soil from infiltrating and blocking; and they must be easy and convenient to install, inspect, maintain, and remove debris.
[0003] my country's bridge construction has made rapid progress. By the end of 2022, the number of highway bridges nationwide had reached 1.0332 million and 85.7649 million meters. The importance of bridge maintenance is becoming increasingly prominent.
[0004] Due to insufficient bridge maintenance personnel, it is difficult to regularly clean or promptly remove debris from all expansion joints of bridges within the jurisdiction, resulting in serious blockage of solid waste in the expansion joints. Ultimately, the expansion joints are unable to perform their designed functions, leading to structural problems such as breakage and falling of rubber waterstops, damage to the anchorage area, and squeezing of expansion joints to damage the back wall of the abutment. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a cleaning-free device for bridge steel expansion joints. The device can deform in coordination with the steel expansion joints and does not require regular cleaning of the steel expansion joints without affecting normal design functions, thereby having the advantage of reducing maintenance costs.
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical scheme. The cleaning-free expansion joint device of the bridge steel comprises a foundation block and an expansion joint steel. The foundation block is a concrete block cast on a bridge or road. An expansion joint is arranged between adjacent foundation blocks, and each foundation block is provided with an expansion joint steel. Two expansion joint steels are relatively distributed. An expansion joint waterstop is installed between the two expansion joint steels. A groove cavity is formed between the expansion joint waterstop and the two expansion joint steels. The groove cavity is filled with a sealing filling material layer and is dense. The upper end surface of the sealing filling material layer, the upper end surface of the expansion joint steel and the upper end surface of the foundation block are all on the same plane.
[0007] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by filling a layer of sealing filling material in the waterstop strip of the bridge expansion joint, it is possible to effectively avoid sediment deposition and gravel jamming the joints without affecting the expansion effect. There is no need for manual regular cleaning of debris in the expansion joint, which effectively protects the steel expansion joint device, effectively reduces the daily maintenance workload and maintenance expenses of the bridge expansion joint, and extends its service life.
[0008] Preferably, one side surface of the foundation block is an L-shaped surface, and the expansion joint steel is placed on the L-shaped surface and cast integrally on the foundation block; by setting the L-shaped surface, the expansion joint steel can be placed on the foundation block, and the integral casting makes the connection stability between the two better.
[0009] Preferably, a 1 / 4 circular deformation cavity is provided on one side surface of the upper end of the expansion joint steel, and a thin plate is provided at the open end of the deformation cavity, and an interspersed seam is provided between the thin plate and the bottom of the open end of the deformation cavity; by providing the deformation cavity, the expansion joint steel can have a buffering effect when subjected to external force, and at the same time, the thin plate and the interspersed seam are provided to facilitate the installation of the expansion joint waterstop.
[0010] Preferably, both ends of the expansion joint waterstop pass through the through-slit and extend into the inner wall of the deformation cavity; thus, both ends of the expansion joint waterstop can be well fixed in the deformation cavity.
[0011] Preferably, the center of the expansion joint waterstop is concave; this facilitates the extrusion deformation of the expansion joint waterstop.
[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the groove cavity is coated with an interface treatment agent layer, and the interface treatment agent layer is in contact with the sealing filling material layer; this enables the sealing filling material layer to form sufficient bonding strength with the expansion joint waterstop and expansion joint steel, and can prevent the sealing filling material layer from falling off.
[0013] Preferably, the interface treatment agent layer is epoxy glue or silicon PU glue, which has good adhesion and weather resistance.
[0014] Preferably, the sealing filling material layer is formed by mixing rubber particles and silicon PU glue in a mass ratio of 4.0-5.0:1.0; it has good sealing performance and good deformation and compression performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
