Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of protective frames, in particular to a frame trolley suitable for replacing sleepers on steel beam exposed bridge decks. Background Art

[0002] Wooden sleepers, with their advantages of light weight, good elasticity, excellent insulation, ease of manufacture, minimal impact from ambient temperature fluctuations, and simple replacement, were widely used in the early days of railway construction worldwide. Early steel truss bridges in my country almost all employed exposed-deck wooden sleeper structures. However, long-term use of wooden sleepers on exposed steel bridge decks has exposed numerous shortcomings: they are susceptible to corrosion and cracking, have a short service life, and experience significant quality variation, typically lasting only 5-10 years, with some low-quality sleepers lasting only 1-2 years. Furthermore, wooden sleepers have poor surface bearing capacity and are not environmentally friendly due to corrosion resistance. Furthermore, their attachments suffer from poor fastener retention, prone to loosening spikes, and prone to loosening and misalignment of hook bolts. These shortcomings contribute to poor track stability on exposed steel bridge decks, rapid degradation and significant variation in the connection between sleepers, the bridge deck, and the rails, high vibration response, and a significant maintenance workload. With the continuous increase in operating speed, axle load and transportation volume of existing lines, the maintenance workload of wooden sleepers on the exposed deck of steel bridges has increased exponentially, and the contradiction with the existing skylight maintenance model has become increasingly prominent. In addition, the wood resources that meet the requirements for sleeper use are relatively scarce. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a new type of composite material synthetic sleeper to replace wooden sleepers. Compared with wooden sleepers, although composite sleepers have the advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, long service life, good gauge retention ability, flexible fastener installation, and mechanized and continuous production, composite sleepers have the disadvantage of being heavier than wooden sleepers. As a result, replacing composite sleepers in the narrow working space of the exposed deck of steel beam bridges takes a long time, seriously delays work, occupies more skylights, and has a greater impact on railway transportation.

[0043] The following description will further explain the characteristics and functions of the present invention.

[0044] This embodiment designs a frame trolley suitable for replacing sleepers on steel beam exposed bridge decks. The trolley comprises a hanger 1, an upper horizontal bar 2, an inclined bar 3, a lower horizontal bar 4, a vertical bar 5, a connecting rod 6, a running wheel 7, a lifting eye 8, an upper horizontal and inclined bar connecting rod 9, a lower horizontal and vertical bar connecting rod 10, and a running track 11.
