Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge inspection vehicles, in particular to a telescopic truss structure suitable for bridge inspection vehicles. Background Art
[0002] In modern transportation, bridges are structures built across mountain streams, over poor geology, or to facilitate travel. Bridges not only fulfill important transportation functions but are also highly complex. Their health is crucial for transportation safety and the safety of people and property, necessitating their inspection and maintenance. A bridge inspection vehicle is a specialized engineering vehicle designed to provide a work platform for bridge inspectors and maintenance personnel during bridge inspection and maintenance. It can be equipped with bridge inspection equipment and maintenance tools for mobile inspection and maintenance. It can be relocated at any time, allowing inspectors to safely and quickly access their work locations for inspection and maintenance. The structural and functional requirements for inspection vehicles vary greatly depending on the type of bridge structure. To ensure the inspection and maintenance of the lower chord steel beams of a highway bridge while simultaneously saving costs and improving maintenance efficiency, a vehicle with a telescopic truss structure is required to cover the entire bottom of the beam. To address this need, the present authors have designed a telescopic truss structure for a bridge inspection vehicle based on practical application to meet the functional requirements of such vehicles.
[0003] Most existing bridge inspection vehicles require a rack and a reducer to be assembled on the truss, with gears attached to the reducer. This meshing of the rack and pinion allows the truss to extend and retract. The rack requires machining and heat treatment, and the reducer must be purchased and assembled, resulting in high processing and installation costs. Furthermore, the meshing of the rack and pinion to achieve this telescopic function requires protection from debris that could damage the gears during daily use, requiring regular cleaning and maintenance, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to propose a telescopic truss structure suitable for a bridge inspection vehicle. Utility Model Content

The rack needs to be machined and heat-treated, and the reducer needs to be purchased and assembled, which results in high processing and installation costs. At the same time, the telescopic function is realized by meshing the rack and gear, and during daily use, it is necessary to prevent debris from falling and causing gear damage, and the rack and gear need to be cleaned and maintained regularly, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive maintenance process.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a telescopic truss structure suitable for a bridge inspection vehicle, comprising a main truss, a sliding truss, and a winch:

The winch is used instead of the reducer, and there is no need for a gear rack, which saves the processing cost of the rack and the purchase cost of the reducer. The installation, operation and maintenance process of the winch is also simpler. From the perspective of processing, installation, operation and maintenance, costs are saved and efficiency is improved.

[0015] Preferably, the winch is arranged at the center of the lower structure of the main truss, and the winch wire rope is pulled to both ends respectively, passes around the guide pulley of the main truss, and is fixed on the fixed plate of the sliding truss.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding truss can be pulled by the wire rope by operating the rope output direction of the winch, thereby controlling the sliding displacement of the sliding truss within the main truss.
[0017] Preferably, the guide pulley is composed of a guide wheel, a bearing and a pin, and is installed on the inner chords at both ends of the main truss through bolts and nuts. The guide pulley abuts against the wire rope pulled out by the winch.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a guiding effect can be achieved on the wire rope.
[0019] Preferably, two fixing plates are provided, and the two fixing plates are provided at both ends of the sliding truss, and the two fixing plates are respectively connected to the steel wire rope pulled out by the winch.
