Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of working platforms for steel structure bridge construction, in particular to a trolley traveling mechanism capable of operating through the weld seams of inclined cable rings. Background Art
[0002] The steel box girder of the main span between the two main towers of a cable-stayed bridge is installed using the cantilever method. Due to the long span and the lack of support, a girth weld work platform is required at the girth joint. The permanent inspection trolley is designed to be trackless and installed after the bridge is closed. Therefore, cantilever construction requires a girth weld work platform mounted on the bridge deck. While traditional mobile bridge inspection vehicles can bypass the stay cables to provide a work platform, they are costly, cumbersome, and require specialized personnel, resulting in low girth weld construction efficiency. The limited space outside the stay cables precludes the installation of a traveling mechanism, so a traveling mechanism must be installed across them. The cantilever construction process for a cable-stayed bridge involves lifting the steel box girder, precisely positioning the beam segments, moving the girth weld work platform to the construction station, grinding and applying ceramic liners, welding and bolting the girth welds, repairing local welds, grinding and painting the girth weld area, tensioning the stay cables, and advancing the girth weld work platform over the stay cables. Therefore, the traveling mechanism must meet the requirements for working over the stay cables.
[0003] While existing mobile bridge inspection vehicles can bypass stay cables to provide a work platform, they are expensive, cumbersome, and require specialized personnel, resulting in low efficiency in circumferential weld seam construction. The travel mechanism of suspended work trolleys is unable to pass through stay cables. Therefore, a novel travel mechanism for a work trolley capable of passing through stay cables and circumferential weld seams is needed to ensure the suspension connection and load-bearing requirements of the circumferential weld seam work platform, while also enabling self-propelled movement and the ability to pass through stay cables. This is crucial for circumferential weld seam welding of the main span steel box girder between the two main towers of a cable-stayed bridge. Utility Model Content

The utility model has a simple structure, convenient manufacture and installation, easy operation, high work efficiency, safety and efficiency, greatly shortens the on-site ring weld construction period, and has good application prospects.
