Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water transport engineering, in particular to a self-resetting support for a pontoon steel approach bridge. Background Art

[0002] Ferry terminals, small docks, and fishing docks often use pontoons and steel approach bridges to transport vehicles or cargo to the shore. The ship docks on the pontoon, and passengers, cargo, and vehicles go ashore via the steel approach bridge.

[0003] The wind and waves in the seaport are relatively strong. Due to technical difficulties, some pontoons and docks are not equipped with poles and are only fixed by anchor chains. However, anchor chains are flexible structures, and they drift horizontally, rise and fall, and twist at large angles, which often cause damage to the steel approach bridge supports and even the steel approach bridge.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a steel approach bridge support that can adapt to such complex working conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a self-resetting support for a steel approach bridge of a pontoon, which solves the problems of uneven connection, deviation and easy damage of the steel approach bridge caused by wave fluctuations of the pontoon, tension and relaxation of anchor chains, and collision of ships.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] A self-resetting support for a pontoon steel approach bridge, comprising a self-resetting support, wherein the self-resetting support is mounted on the pontoon, and the steel approach bridge is mounted on the pontoon via the self-resetting support; the self-resetting support comprises a portal frame, wherein the upper end of the portal frame is respectively connected to the upper ends of two iron chains, wherein the lower ends of the iron chains are connected to the steel approach bridge, and tension springs are respectively arranged on the inner side surfaces of the lower part of the portal frame, wherein the tension springs are connected to the steel approach bridge.

[0008] Furthermore, a temporary ramp is placed in front of the steel approach bridge.

[0009] Furthermore, the temporary ramp is a steel wedge-shaped body, the side panels and interior of the temporary ramp are made of 8 mm steel plates, the top plate of the temporary ramp is made of 8 mm patterned steel plates, and the width of the temporary ramp is the same as the width of the steel approach bridge deck.

[0010] Furthermore, the gantry is made of H-shaped steel and steel plates, the gantry is arranged in a trapezoidal shape, the height of the gantry is 2.5 to 5.5 meters, the upper width of the gantry exceeds the width of the steel approach bridge deck by 0.3 to 0.8 meters, and the lower width of the gantry exceeds the width of the steel approach bridge deck by 0.6 to 1.6 meters.

[0011] Furthermore, the portal frame is fixed to the deck of the pontoon by bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, the tension value of a single tension spring is 1 to 2.5 kN, the stretching amount is 50 to 100 mm, and the number of tension springs arranged on each side of the door frame is 1 to 7.

[0013] Furthermore, the load-bearing capacity of the iron chain is 35 kN to 350 kN.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] The utility model does not have any mechanism and moving or rotating parts, and has a very simple structure. It is flexibly connected in all directions, so that displacement in any direction and at any angle can occur between the pontoon and the steel approach bridge, and can adapt to complex conditions such as the ups and downs of the pontoon, the tension and relaxation of the anchor chain, and the impact of ships. At the same time, the impact force between the ship and the pontoon will not be transmitted to the steel approach bridge, thereby effectively protecting the steel approach bridge and its supports.

[0016] The utility model uses a suspension structure to automatically reset the steel approach bridge after it is displaced forwards and backwards, and uses a tension spring to automatically reset the steel approach bridge after it is displaced leftwards and rightwards. The entire self-resetting support structure can automatically reset any displacement between the steel approach bridge and the pontoon.

[0017] The utility model places a temporary ramp in front of the steel approach bridge for temporary use by disabled people as a barrier-free passage.

[0018] The suspension point of the steel approach bridge of the utility model is at the front end of the last step of the approach bridge, thus ensuring that no matter how the steel approach bridge rises and falls, the step height never changes, and the passage is safe and comfortable.

[0019] The lower part of the steel approach bridge of the utility model is suspended and separated from the pontoon, has no rolling and sliding parts, and does not generate noise when in use.

[0020] Based on the above reasons, the utility model can be widely promoted in the field of water transport engineering technology. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
