Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge construction, in particular to a cantilever tripod for bridge deck construction. Background Art

[0002] During the concrete pouring process for steel box girder flanges, the erection of formwork support platforms presents multiple challenges. This is particularly true for new urban overpasses and bridges spanning rivers and valleys in mountainous areas. A lack of available space prevents the erection of scaffolding from the ground, directly impacting both construction feasibility and safety. First, the limited construction area means many bridges lack available ground support points beneath them, limiting the use of traditional support systems. Furthermore, urban environments often present obstacles such as other buildings, traffic, and underground pipelines, further exacerbating this space shortage. Second, due to the diverse architectural shapes, the main structure may be designed with variable cross-sections or angles, further complicating the design and installation of the support platforms. The support must be adaptable to various shapes and angles to ensure stability and safety during the pouring operation. Any design mismatch can cause the formwork to shift during the pouring process, compromising the quality of the concrete. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a cantilever tripod for bridge deck construction, which solves the current need to erect scaffolding from the ground and adapts to the diversity of building shapes, such as the bottom surface of the cast object having different shapes or angles.

[0004] The top end of the support leg is fixed with a link rod and the bottom end of the support leg is fixed with a link rod, and the bottom end of the support leg is fixed with a link rod.

[0005] Compared to existing technologies, this solution utilizes a cantilever tripod for bridge deck construction. This structure features a support frame, adjustment assembly, and support platform at the corner between the sidewall and end plate of the steel box girder. The adjustment assembly drives the support platform for vertical movement, ensuring that the upper surface of the deck matches the shape of the lower surface of the bridge deck after pouring. This achieves high construction precision and strong adaptability to the bridge deck's shape. This design eliminates the need for ground-level scaffolding and accommodates architectural designs with varying shapes or angles of the bottom surface of the poured object, significantly improving construction efficiency and safety. This structure offers significant structural flexibility and adaptability, eliminating the need for traditional scaffolding. This simplifies the construction process, reduces reliance on ground-level workspace, and mitigates the safety risks of working at height. The support frame provides a stable foundation, ensuring the safety and reliability of the formwork during pouring. Furthermore, its rapid adjustment capability enables the construction team to complete more pouring tasks in a shorter time, optimizing resource allocation, reducing environmental disruption, and minimizing the impact on surrounding traffic and residents.

[0006] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod, the middle part of which is threadedly connected to an adjustment block, the lower end face of the adjustment block is abutted against the top end face of the vertical support rod, wherein the part of the adjustment rod below the adjustment block is inserted into the top of the vertical support rod, and the support platform is fixedly installed on the top of the adjustment rod, and the vertical movement of the adjustment rod and the support platform is driven by rotating the adjustment block. The threaded connection between the adjustment rod and the adjustment block provides a precise adjustment mechanism, which can achieve fine-tuning to ensure perfect fit between the board surface and the casting surface.

[0007] Furthermore, an elastic member is installed at the end of the inclined rod facing the side wall of the steel box girder, and the elastic member is used to resist the side wall of the steel box girder. This buffering performance reduces the dynamic response of the structure under external loads, thereby improving the stability and safety of the construction board.

[0008] Furthermore, a reinforcing rod is arranged between the vertical support rod and the inclined rod. The reinforcing rod, the vertical support rod and the inclined rod form a triangular support structure. The setting of the reinforcing rod strengthens the connection between the vertical support rod and the inclined rod, and improves the bending and torsion resistance of the overall support system.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the support platform abuts against the top surface of the adjusting rod, and is fixed by welding at the abutting position.

[0010] Furthermore, the support frame is equipped with a guardrail connected to the other end of the crossbar away from the connecting vertical rod. The inner side of the guardrail abuts the end of the deck away from the connecting vertical rod. During the bridge deck construction process, the guardrail effectively prevents construction workers and equipment from accidentally falling or moving, providing excellent safety protection. The barrier formed by the guardrail can alert and protect workers, ensuring a safe construction environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
