Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the utility model belong to the field of bridge bearings, and more specifically, relate to a universal bridge bearing used for replacing old bridges. Background Art
[0002] Bridge bearings are important components that connect the upper and lower structures of bridges. They can reliably transmit the reaction force and deformation (displacement and rotation) of the upper structure of the bridge to the lower structure of the bridge. However, as the use time of bridges that were built earlier increases, their bearings begin to age a lot. Many bearings need to be repaired, and a large part of the bearings must be replaced. The conventional bridge bearings installed in existing bridges are of various types, and with the elimination of old products, a large number of bearings that need to be replaced are difficult to find replacement products. Re-customizing the bearings that need to be replaced for different bridges will cause a lot of waste of manpower, material and financial resources. Most of the bridge bearings on the market do not have a unified standard for size, especially height, which causes great inconvenience to the replacement of bridge bearings.
[0003] Currently, there is an easy-to-replace bridge bearing on the market. The bearing structure is mainly composed of an upper seat plate, a lower seat plate and an intermediate lining plate. The intermediate lining plate plays a key role in rotation and translation connection between the upper and lower seat plates. In particular, a pad is provided under the lower seat plate, and a sliding friction pair is provided between the two to reduce friction and facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the bearing. Three guide plates are provided on the top of the pad, arranged in a herringbone shape, providing a guide path for the accurate positioning of the new bearing. When replacing the bearing, you only need to release the limit structure and directly push the bearing out, which realizes efficient and simple bearing replacement.
[0004] However, this type of bearing only solves the problem of convenient replacement, and there is still the problem that the bearings on the existing bridges are difficult to replace due to different specifications. Therefore, a universal bridge bearing for replacing old bridges is needed to replace bearings of different heights and sizes on old bridges and improve the versatility of bearing replacement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0035] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0036] Embodiment 1
[0037] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the utility model provides a general bridge bearing for replacing an old bridge, which includes a lower bearing plate 1, a spherical crown liner 4, an upper bearing plate 8 and a rigid cushion block 16. A rotational friction pair is provided between the lower bearing plate 1 and the spherical crown liner 4, a sliding friction pair is provided between the spherical crown liner 4 and the upper bearing plate 8, and the rigid cushion block 16 is arranged between the bearing and the bridge pier. By adding rigid cushion blocks 16 with different heights at the bottom of the bearing, the height of the original bearing is reduced, so that the overall height of the bearing can match the original bearings with different heights, realizing the replacement of the bearing without applying additional construction to the bridge. At the same time, the versatility of the bearing is improved, so that it can meet all height requirements for replacing existing bridge bearings.
[0038] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the lower bearing plate 1 is a square stepped frustum structure, its bottom is a plane, and a spherical groove is provided downward at the top. There is also a depression provided downward along the spherical surface in the spherical groove. A spherical wear-resistant plate 2 is fixed in the depression by bolts, and an annular groove is also opened along the groove edge at the top of the spherical groove. A spherical sealing ring 3 is embedded in the annular groove. The bottom surface of the spherical crown liner 4 is spherical, and its curvature is the same as that of the spherical groove of the lower bearing plate 1. The top surface is a circular plane. A spherical stainless steel plate 5 is fixed to the bottom of the spherical crown liner 4 by welding. A spherical friction pair is formed between the spherical stainless steel plate 5 and the spherical wear-resistant plate 2. When the bearing is subjected to uneven longitudinal forces, it rotates to eliminate its acting force on the bridge pier and protect the normal operation of the bridge pier. The bottom edge of the spherical crown liner 4 is also tightly connected to the top surface of the spherical sealing ring 3, so as to block the spherical friction pair from the outside air, prevent water and corrosive substances in the outside air from entering it, corrode the spherical stainless steel plate 5, and affect the rotational performance of the bearing.
[0039] A circular groove is opened at the top of the spherical crown liner 4. A flat wear-resistant plate 6 is fixed in the circular groove by bolts, and an annular groove concentric with its outer circle is also opened in the circular groove. A flat sealing ring 7 is embedded in the annular groove. The top of the upper bearing plate 8 is a square plate, and a flat stainless steel plate 9 is welded to its bottom surface. A sliding friction pair is formed between the flat stainless steel plate 9 and the flat wear-resistant plate 6. When the bridge is subjected to a horizontal acting force, the bridge generates a horizontal displacement through this sliding friction pair to eliminate its horizontal acting force on the bridge pier. The bottom surface of the flat stainless steel plate 9 is also in close contact with the top surface of the flat sealing ring 7, so as to block the sliding friction pair from the outside air, prevent water and corrosive substances in the outside air from entering it, corrode the flat stainless steel plate 9, and affect the sliding performance of the bearing.
[0040] Around the top square plate of the upper bearing plate 8, there is a downwardly extending lower edge plate, and the bottom of the lower edge plate exceeds the edge and the top surface of the lower bearing plate 1. On the top of both sides of the lower bearing plate 1, there are guide wear-resistant strips 11 fixed by bolts. At the corresponding positions of the lower edge plates on both sides of the upper bearing plate 8 and the guide wear-resistant strips 11, there are also guide steel bars 12, which provide a guiding function for the upper bearing plate 8 when the bridge undergoes horizontal displacement, enabling the bearing to move along the set direction.
[0041] Around the upper bearing plate 8, there is also a dust-proof plate 10, which is arranged along the edge of the upper bearing plate 8 and is fixed to its outside by bolts, and the lower edge of the dust-proof plate 10 extends downward to the bottom surface of the lower bearing plate 1. The dust-proof plate 10 encloses the internal structure of the bearing, preventing sundries including sand and gravel and wooden sticks from entering when the bearing operates in a harsh environment, causing jamming or even damage to its internal structure, and extending the service life of the bearing.
[0042] As Figure 3 , 4 shown, the rigid cushion block 16 is a stepped frustum, both its bottom and top structures are square, and there are multiple anchor holes at its bottom, so that when facing different bridges, the original anchor steel bars on the bridge pier can be directly utilized without any form of construction on the bridge structure. Its top is set in multiple height specifications to be applicable to the heights of various original bearings, improving the versatility of the bearing. And its upper structure is fixedly connected to the bearing by bolts.
[0043] Preferably, the upper structure of the rigid cushion block 16 includes an adjustment frame, adjustment gaskets, and adjustment pads. Among them, the adjustment pad and the bottom of the rigid cushion block 16 are combined into a box body with an open top, and there is a vertical groove along the height direction in the middle of one side. The top of the adjustment pad is a square block, which is fixedly connected to the bottom structure of the bearing by bolts. There is a connecting seat at the bottom of the square block of the adjustment pad, and the cross-section of the connecting seat is the same as the shape of the internal structure cavity of the adjustment frame. It is inserted into the adjustment frame and can move telescopically in the adjustment frame. There are also fixing plates around the connecting seat, and the inner size of the fixing plates is the same as the outer size of the adjustment frame. That is, when connecting, the adjustment frame is placed between the connecting seat and the fixing plates of the adjustment pad to prevent the adjustment pad from shaking in the adjustment frame. The adjustment gasket is a thin gasket, and the top surface area of the adjustment gasket is the same as the cross-section of the connecting seat of the adjustment pad. By adjusting the number of adjustment gaskets, the height of the top surface of the adjustment pad is adjusted to make the bearing meet the height dimension of the original bridge bearing, and the replacement of the damaged bridge bearing is completed.
[0044] The support of the embodiment of the present utility model further includes an adapter assembly and a force transfer plate 15, which are used to provide a medium for the connection between the support and the bridge or pier. The adapter assembly is a lower adapter plate 13, which is fixedly connected to the lower support plate 1 through connecting bolts. The force transfer plate 15 is arranged between the lower adapter plate 13 and the lower support plate 1. The force transfer plate 15 is made of a flexible material, which is used to ensure that the lower adapter plate 13 and the lower support plate 1 are closely attached, prevent the occurrence of voids or uneven loading during the installation of the support, affect the force-bearing of the support, and thus affect the working state of the support, and ensure the reliability of the adapter assembly. The adapter assembly can ensure the bearing capacity of the structure and facilitate the disassembly and installation of the support.
[0045] Its installation method is as follows: After the support is integrally connected and fastened in the factory, it is transported to the site for installation. After arriving at the site, the adapter assembly is completely loosened from other components of the support. After the adapter assembly is connected and fastened to the embedded screw at the bottom of the beam / top of the pier, the whole support is pushed into the installation position, and then the position of the support is finely adjusted. After the adapter plate is bolted and connected to the support, the installation of the support is completed.
