Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bridge construction, in particular to the technical aspect of expansion joints, and specifically relates to an assembled quick-disassembly bridge expansion device. Background Art

[0002] To accommodate structural deformation, expansion gaps, often reserved between the bridge decks at the ends of the bridge superstructure, or between the bridge decks and abutments, are called expansion joints. To ensure smooth vehicle passage through expansion joints and accommodate structural deformation, various devices installed across these joints are collectively referred to as bridge expansion devices. Currently, expansion joints typically have slots in which expansion devices are installed. Repeated impact from vehicle loads can cause concrete cracking within the slots, leading to anchor failure, or cumulative fatigue damage to the expansion device's steel components, ultimately rendering the bridge expansion device inoperable and requiring replacement.

[0003] Current replacement methods, such as a repair method for a bridge expansion joint disclosed in patent document CN106906740A, include laying out and positioning the damaged repair area of the bridge expansion joint to determine the area to be repaired; using a cutting machine to cut the area to be repaired; using a jackhammer to chisel away the surface concrete of the expansion joint anchoring area until the anchor of the steel bar protective layer is exposed; providing an anchoring enlargement area outside the expansion joint anchoring area, using a jackhammer to chisel away the concrete in the anchoring enlargement area to the base surface of the main beam structure; then installing steel bars and planting steel bars in the anchoring enlargement area; pouring epoxy resin concrete into the expansion joint anchoring area and the anchoring enlargement area; and maintaining.

[0004] However, in actual construction, the traffic control time allowed for replacing the expansion joint is usually very short, especially on roads with heavy traffic, where the allowed traffic control time is even shorter, resulting in a very tight time for replacing the expansion joint. In the process of dismantling the old expansion joint, in order to protect the bridge structure, it is usually prohibited to use large mechanical equipment to chisel out the concrete in the expansion joint groove, and only manual chiseling is allowed. However, due to the high strength of the concrete in the expansion joint anchoring area and the large number of steel bars set in the concrete, the expansion joint removal process will take a lot of time. Under the condition of a certain traffic control time, the subsequent concrete pouring and curing time will inevitably be compressed. Although expensive fast-hardening concrete is now used for repairing expansion joints, the strength of the concrete can meet the design requirements after curing for 3 hours after pouring, but in fact the elastic modulus of the concrete has not yet met the expected requirements, that is, its ability to resist deformation due to external forces has not yet met the use requirements, resulting in the concrete being easily deformed or cracked, which will directly affect the service life of the bridge expansion joint. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the problem that the time required to dismantle the telescopic device is too long, resulting in a short curing time for pouring new concrete, the utility model provides an assembled quick-disassembly bridge telescopic device. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] An assembled quick-detachable bridge expansion device includes side beams, and also includes a steel bottom plate and steel side plates respectively arranged on the bottom wall and side walls of the bridge expansion joint slot. The side beams are provided with connecting grooves, which are arranged on the steel bottom plate and connected to the steel side plates.

[0007] When the expansion joint device needs to be replaced, the connecting groove is disassembled from the steel bottom plate and the steel side plate respectively, the expansion device and the groove can be separated, and then the new expansion device is installed on the steel bottom plate and the steel side plate. This can shorten the removal time of the expansion device in the early stage of replacement, increase the maintenance time of the newly poured concrete in the later stage, improve the ability of the concrete in the expansion joint groove to resist external force deformation, and reduce the possibility of concrete cracking.

[0008] In a specific possible implementation scheme, a plurality of anchor plates are provided on the side beams, and anchor pieces connected to the anchor plates are provided in the connection grooves; the anchor pieces are specifically steel bars or steel plates.

[0009] Anchors corresponding to the anchor plates are installed in the connecting grooves to facilitate connection of the side beams to the connecting grooves, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the telescopic device.

[0010] In a specific possible implementation scheme, the steel side plates and the steel bottom plates are both provided with a plurality of connecting sleeves, the connecting sleeves are arranged in the bridge components, and the connecting grooves are provided with bolts threadedly connected to the connecting sleeves.

[0011] When installing a new telescopic device, the connecting sleeve is embedded in the interior of the bridge component, thereby fixing the steel side plate and the steel bottom plate in the groove, and the connecting groove is placed on the steel bottom plate, with its side wall fitting with the steel side plate, and connected to the connecting sleeve with bolts, so that the connecting groove can be connected to the steel side plate and the steel bottom plate, thereby realizing the installation of the telescopic device.

[0012] In a specific possible implementation scheme, the connecting groove includes a connecting plate and two side plates, the connecting plate is connected to the two side plates, the two side plates and the connecting plate form a through groove for concrete filling, one of the side plates is connected to the side beam, the other side plate is connected to the steel side plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the steel bottom plate.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, a cover plate is provided between the side plate and the side beam near the steel side plate. The cover plate is positioned above and below the connecting plate. Because vehicles traveling on the telescopic device can impact the side plate, which can easily cause deformation, the cover plate is used to connect the side beam and the side plate to minimize deformation caused by impact.

[0014] In one specific embodiment, the cover plate is provided with a marking portion for marking the position of the connecting sleeve. Using the marking portion to mark the position of the connecting sleeve facilitates targeted cleaning of the concrete at the connecting sleeve when removing the telescopic device, thereby improving the efficiency of replacing the telescopic device.

[0015] In a specific possible implementation manner, the upper surface of the cover plate is provided with anti-slip grooves; or the cover plate is provided with a plurality of through holes.

[0016] By providing anti-slip grooves or multiple through holes on the cover plate, the friction of the vehicle walking on the telescopic device can be increased to prevent the vehicle from slipping; in addition, when pouring concrete, air is discharged through the through holes to facilitate concrete pouring, making the concrete pouring in the expansion joint groove more compact.

[0017] In a specific embodiment, the through hole is located above the connecting sleeve.

[0018] The position of the connecting sleeve is marked by the through hole. On the one hand, it is easy to find the position of the connecting sleeve. On the other hand, the concrete can be easily chiseled out through the through hole, so that the telescopic device can be quickly replaced.

[0019] The beneficial technical effects of the utility model are as follows: by directly separating the bottom plate and side plates in the connecting groove and the expansion joint slot, and then installing a new expansion device, the efficiency of replacement can be improved, the curing time of the newly poured concrete in the later stage is increased, and the strength and elastic modulus of the concrete in the slot are improved; by adding a steel bottom plate and steel side plates to the bottom wall and side wall of the bridge expansion joint slot, the rigidity of the expansion joint slot is improved, and at the same time, the components associated with the bridge expansion joint slot are protected, avoiding damage to the bridge deck or abutment back wall caused by repeated chiseling of the slot concrete when replacing the expansion device, thereby enhancing the anchoring performance of the expansion device and extending its service life.
