The structure is simple, the cost is lower, the operation is more convenient, and the effect is more significant.

[0034] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model more clearly, further explanation is given below with reference to specific drawings.

[0035] like Figure 1-5As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a bridge collapse warning device, including a steel wire rope 1, which can withstand a maximum tension of 1500 kg, ensuring that the steel wire rope 1 can pull the auxiliary steel wire rope 5 to trigger the switch device 9 after the bridge collapses, and the front end of the steel wire rope 1 is installed at the front tunnel entrance in the direction of travel of the bridge through an expansion screw, and a plurality of connecting tubes 2 are sleeved on the steel wire rope 1, and the inner wall cavity diameter of the connecting tube 2 is larger than the diameter of the steel wire rope 1, ensuring that the steel wire rope 1 can slide in the connecting tube 2, and the connecting tube 2 is installed on the side guardrail of the bridge through a clamp 3, and a plurality of connecting tubes 2 are distributed at a fixed distance on the side guardrail of the bridge, and the steel wire rope 1 is supported by a plurality of first pulley groups 4 for easy sliding, thereby ensuring the sensitivity of the alarm device response when subjected to force, and the first sliding The wheel group 4 is installed on the side guardrail of the bridge. The setting of the first pulley group 4 not only supports the wire rope 1, but also ensures the smooth sliding of the wire rope 1 after being pulled after a collapse occurs somewhere in the bridge. The rear end of the wire rope 1 is connected to the auxiliary wire rope 5, and the auxiliary wire rope 5 can withstand a maximum tension of 50 kg. The tension range of the auxiliary wire rope 5 can ensure that the pull rod 7 is pulled down to trigger the switch device 9, and the auxiliary wire rope 5 can break when the tension is too large, avoiding the auxiliary wire rope 5 from being subjected to excessive tension to restrain the control box 8, and ensuring the normal opening state of the internal switch device 9. The auxiliary wire rope 5 is guided and supported by multiple second pulley groups 6 and rotates from horizontal to vertical state by ninety degrees, and the vertical side of the auxiliary wire rope 5 is divided into two paths. The top is connected to the pull rod 7, and the vertical section of the auxiliary wire rope 5 It is divided into two paths and passes through the two notches at the bottom of the control box 8 and is connected to the two ends of the pull rod 7. The vertical setting of the section where the auxiliary steel wire rope 5 is connected to the pull rod 7 can ensure that the pull rod 7 can be slid downward stably to push the handle of the switch device 9. The pull rod 7 is arranged in the control box 8. Two switch devices 9 are installed in the control box 8, and a frame 10 is installed in the control box 8 to cover the two switch devices 9, and two spring limiting pieces 11 are installed on the front side of the frame 10, and the top ends of the two spring limiting pieces 11 are connected to the frame 10, and the lower ends of the two spring limiting pieces 11 are retracted toward the frame 10.

The pull rod 7 keeps sliding vertically under the limit of the spring limit plate 11. During the sliding process, the pull rod 7 presses down the handle on the switch device 9 to close the switch device. At this time, a closed-loop circuit is formed between the switch device 9, the warning light 12 and the power supply 13.The warning light 12 emits a warning light within the tunnel at a distance of 100 to 150 meters from the bridge, alerting vehicles about to enter the bridge. The control box 8, warning light 12, and power supply 13 are installed on the tunnel sidewall. The control box 8 is installed at the tunnel entrance. The warning light 12 and power supply 13 are installed within the tunnel at a distance of 100 to 150 meters from the control box 8. Two warning lights 12 can also be installed: one installed within the tunnel at a distance of 100 to 150 meters from the control box 8, and one installed at the control box 8 at the tunnel entrance. The warning light 12 emits a warning light within the tunnel at a distance of 100 to 150 meters from the bridge, alerting vehicles about to enter the bridge and ensuring that vehicles have sufficient braking distance.
