Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge erection machines, in particular to a synchronous steering operation system for a parallel beam transport vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of bridge construction technology, some large-span and large-tonnage bridges adopt prefabricated erection construction methods. For the transportation of super-large prefabricated box girders on the bridge, they all face the problem of excessive bridge deck construction load that cannot meet the requirements. Bridge design requires that transport vehicles be able to distribute the load over a larger area as much as possible to ensure that the transport vehicle load can meet the bridge deck bearing requirements. At present, the construction and transportation of domestic high-speed railway bridges mainly use whole-machine box girders. However, for some super-large box girders with double-span bridge decks such as cross-sea bridges, if a single-span bridge deck layout and whole-machine box girder transportation scheme is adopted, the beam transport vehicle load will inevitably be very large, the bridge deck layout is limited, and the construction load cannot meet the requirements.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, some engineering and technical personnel proposed to arrange beam transport vehicles on the double-span bridge deck. According to the characteristics of box girder transportation, two vehicles are used in parallel, and the parallel beam transport vehicle uses two single beam transport vehicles to run in parallel. Since two single beam transport vehicles are connected in parallel, the steering angles of the tires on both sides must be synchronized, otherwise strong structural stress will be generated during the operation of the beam transport vehicle, causing damage to the structural parts.

[0011] The pipeline assembly includes a first steel pipe, the first steel pipe has a three-way interface, the first interface of the first steel pipe is connected to the first working oil port of the pump station, the second interface of the first steel pipe is connected to the rodless cavity of the fourth steering cylinder, the third interface of the first steel pipe is provided with a switch valve, and the second steel pipe is connected to the rear of the switch valve, the second steel pipe has a four-way interface, the first interface of the second steel pipe is connected to the rod cavity of the third steering cylinder, the second interface of the second steel pipe is provided with an air release valve, and the third interface of the second steel pipe is connected to the rodless cavity of the second steering cylinder;
