Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel structure bridge construction, in particular to a protective device for ring-mouth welding of a steel box beam. Background Art
[0002] In municipal engineering construction, steel box girders are widely used in urban overpasses due to their many advantages, including good torsional resistance, fast construction speed, and minimal impact on traffic. Most of these bridges need to cross urban expressways, main roads, or highways, and welding of steel box girders is a critical step. Currently, on-site construction of steel box girders typically involves welding the ring ends after the steel box girder sections are hoisted into place. However, welding the ring ends of steel box girders produces welding slag or molten iron, which can affect the safety of pedestrians and vehicles below, posing a significant safety hazard. To ensure safety, the conventional practice is to temporarily close the road below and set up a temporary welding operation platform and a fire basin at the weld joint to handle the welding slag or molten iron. However, when constructing steel box girders in areas with heavy traffic, where road closures cannot be extended and where setting up a construction platform is difficult, protecting the ring end welding of the steel box girder becomes more difficult. Although the existing technology uses a method of setting up a mobile platform on the steel box girder to handle the ring welding and safety protection of the steel box girder, the entire mobile platform device is complex and costly. In addition, for situations such as pedestrian bridges where the pier spacing is short and the bridge deck width is narrow, the mobile platform cannot be effectively installed or cannot cover the welding construction of all the rings.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a protective device for the existing steel box girder ring welding construction work, so that it can ensure that welding above does not affect the normal passage below, and at the same time has a windproof function to further ensure the quality of the weld. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a protective device for steel box girder ring welding, which can ensure that welding above does not affect normal traffic below, and also has a windproof function, further ensuring the quality of the weld.

A connecting steel pipe is provided between the left rectangular frame and the right rectangular frame for connection and fixation.
[0007] Furthermore, the protective structure includes a steel bar mesh and a protective cloth. The steel bar mesh is disposed between the left rectangular frame and the right rectangular frame, and the protective cloth is laid on the inner side of the steel bar mesh.
[0008] Furthermore, both the left rectangular frame and the right rectangular frame are formed by fixing and connecting a number of mutually overlapping steel pipes through steel pipe connecting fasteners to form a rectangular frame.
