Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge engineering, in particular to a bridge expansion joint. Background Art
[0002] For the existing butt joint type expansion joint, a sealing rubber strip needs to be clamped between a pair of profiled steels to play a role in preventing water seepage. Ideally, the service life of the sealing rubber strip is 5 - 8 years. However, currently, the temperature in summer is generally high, especially in the western region. With continuous sunlight in summer, the high temperature will cause the sealing rubber strip to age rapidly, resulting in the actual effective life of the rubber strip being only about two years. Moreover, if gravel gets stuck in the joint, it may even pierce the rubber sealing strip, causing the rubber sealing strip to fail. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] To solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a bridge expansion joint.
[0004] To achieve the above goal, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0005] A bridge expansion joint includes a V-shaped rubber strip and two F-shaped steels. The two F-shaped steels are placed mirror-symmetrically. The two ends of the V-shaped rubber strip are respectively embedded in the grooves of the two F-shaped steels. A plurality of anchor bars are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two F-shaped steels. The tops of the opposite surfaces of the two F-shaped steels are respectively connected with a first steel plate and a second steel plate by a plurality of bolts. The first steel plate and the second steel plate are respectively attached to the tops of the opposite surfaces of the two F-shaped steels. The bottom end of the first steel plate is connected with a first baffle, and the bottom end of the second steel plate is connected with a second baffle. The projections of the first baffle and the second baffle in the vertical direction partially overlap.
[0006] Further, both the first baffle and the second baffle are horizontally arranged, and the second baffle is spaced below the first baffle.
[0007] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the first baffle and the second baffle can block the V-shaped rubber strip, avoiding direct sunlight and preventing gravel from directly contacting the V-shaped rubber strip, which can effectively extend the service life of the V-shaped rubber strip.

[0011] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0012] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, a bridge expansion joint includes a V-shaped rubber strip 1 and two F-shaped steels 2. The two F-shaped steels 2 are placed mirror-symmetrically. The two ends of the V-shaped rubber strip 1 are respectively embedded in the grooves of the two F-shaped steels 2. A plurality of anchor bars 21 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two F-shaped steels 2 at intervals along their respective lengths. A number of screw holes 22 are arranged at intervals along the lengths of the tops of the opposite surfaces of the two F-shaped steels 2. A first steel plate 4 and a second steel plate 5 are respectively connected to the tops of the opposite surfaces of the two F-shaped steels 2 by a plurality of bolts 3. The first steel plate 4 and the second steel plate 5 are respectively attached to the tops of the opposite surfaces of the two F-shaped steels 2. A first baffle 41 is connected to the bottom end of the first steel plate 4, and a second baffle 51 is connected to the bottom end of the second steel plate 5. The first baffle 41 and the second baffle 51 are both horizontally arranged. The second baffle 51 is arranged at intervals below the first baffle 41. The projected parts of the first baffle 41 and the second baffle 51 in the vertical direction overlap. The lengths of the first baffle 41, the first steel plate 4, the second baffle 51, and the second steel plate 5 are all equivalent to the length of the F-shaped steel 2.
[0013] The first baffle 41 and the second baffle 51 can block the V-shaped rubber strip to avoid direct sunlight. Moreover, the first baffle 41 and the second baffle 51 are arranged at intervals and will not affect the drainage performance. The first baffle 41 and the second baffle 51 can also prevent gravel from directly contacting the V-shaped rubber strip 1, which can effectively extend the service life of the V-shaped rubber strip 1.
[0014] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
