[0002] With the development of infrastructure construction, especially the increase in large-scale bridges, highways, railways, and other projects, the demand for large-scale engineering machinery and equipment is growing. Among them, the bridge widening girder erecting machine is a heavy-duty equipment specifically designed for bridge construction, used to continuously erect single or double widening girders on both sides of the main line box girder.
[0003] The bridge erecting machine consists of a main beam, outriggers, a lifting trolley, and a traveling mechanism. The outriggers include four fixed outriggers and four movable outriggers, each with a vertical telescopic cylinder. During beam erection, if the gradient force of the bridge erecting machine exceeds the lateral rolling friction, it can cause lateral stalling of the longitudinal beams on the machine, leading to a major accident. During span crossing operations, it is crucial to maintain the horizontal height difference between the two lateral points of the main beam to prevent excessive stress at the connection points between the longitudinal connecting beams and the transverse main beams due to excessive torsion. Therefore, the levelness of the main beam of the widening beam bridge erecting machine directly affects the quality and safety of bridge construction.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0037] This utility model provides a monitoring device for the main beam of a bridge girder erection machine, which can solve the technical problems of low accuracy and low efficiency in monitoring the levelness of the main beam of the existing bridge girder erection machine by manual measurement.
[0038] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a monitoring device for the main beam of a bridge beam widening machine. The monitoring device includes: eight levelness sensors 1, a controller 2, and an alarm 3.
[0039] The eight levelness sensors 1 are respectively installed at eight monitoring points on the main beam 53 of the bridge erecting machine 5, corresponding to the four fixed legs 51 and the four movable legs 52 of the bridge erecting machine 5. The controller 2 is electrically connected to the eight levelness sensors 1 and acquires the levelness values of the corresponding monitoring points collected by the eight levelness sensors 1. The alarm 3 is connected to the controller 1.
[0040] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the four levelness sensors 1 are, in sequence, the levelness sensor of the front left movable outrigger, the levelness sensor of the front left fixed outrigger, the levelness sensor of the front right fixed outrigger, and the levelness sensor of the front right movable outrigger. See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the other four levelness sensors 1 are, in order, the levelness sensor of the rear left movable outrigger, the levelness sensor of the rear left fixed outrigger, the levelness sensor of the rear right fixed outrigger, and the levelness sensor of the rear right movable outrigger. The controller 2 acquires the levelness values collected by the eight levelness sensors 1 and performs monitoring and alarm based on the levelness values collected by the eight levelness sensors 1.
[0041] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the posture of the main beam 53 of the bridge erecting machine 5 is manually adjusted and the initial levelness values of the eight levelness sensors 1 are calibrated. It is assumed that the initial levelness values of the eight levelness sensors 1 are X1... 活 (Front left movable outrigger level sensor), X2 活 (Front right movable outrigger level sensor), X3 活 (Rear left movable outrigger level sensor), X4 活 (Rear right movable outrigger level sensor), X1 固 (Front left fixed outrigger level sensor), X2 固 (Front right fixed outrigger level sensor), X3 固 (Rear left fixed outrigger level sensor), X4 固 (Rear right fixed outrigger level sensor), ideally all eight values are 0mm.
[0042] When X1 活 X1 固 >X2 活 >X2 固At that time, the left side of the main beam 51 of the bridge erecting machine 5 is higher than the right side; when X1 活 <X1 固 <X2 活 <X2 固 At that time, the main beam 51 of bridge erecting machine 5 is lower on the left and higher on the right; when X1 固 >X3 固 And X2 固 >X4 固 At that time, the front side of the main beam 51 of the bridge erecting machine 5 is higher than the rear side; when X1 固 <X3 固 And X2 固 <X4 固 At that time, the front side of the main beam 51 of the bridge erecting machine 5 is lower and the rear side is higher; when X1 固 >X3 固 And X2 固 <X4 固 At that time, the main beam 51 of bridge erecting machine 5 is characterized by a high front left, a low front right, a low rear left, and a high rear right; when X1 固 <X3 固 And X2 固 >X4 固 At this time, the main beam 51 of the bridge erecting machine 5 is lower at the front left, higher at the front right, higher at the rear left, and lower at the rear right. When the difference between any two adjacent monitoring points acquired by the controller 2 exceeds a preset first safety threshold (e.g., 50mm), the controller 2 controls the alarm 3 to issue an alarm. Optionally, when the difference between two adjacent monitoring points exceeds a preset second safety threshold (e.g., 80mm), the controller 2 can activate a restriction protection mechanism to restrict the bridge erecting machine 5 from performing beam erection or span construction. The restriction protection mechanism needs to be released after the levelness value of the main beam 53 of the bridge erecting machine 5 is adjusted to normal. Specifically, the alarm 3 can include a buzzer and an indicator light to provide audible and visual alarm prompts. For example, the buzzer, indicator light, and a controllable switch can be connected to a power supply to form a circuit. When the difference between any two adjacent monitoring points exceeds the preset first safety threshold (e.g., 50mm), the controller controls the controllable switch to conduct, and the buzzer and indicator light start to provide audible and visual alarm prompts.
[0043] The monitoring device for the main beam of the bridge girder erection machine of this utility model embodiment is equipped with eight levelness sensors, a controller and an alarm. The controller acquires the levelness values of the corresponding monitoring points collected by the eight levelness sensors. When the levelness values of the eight monitoring points do not meet the set requirements, the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm prompt, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. It has high monitoring accuracy, high degree of automation and greatly improves monitoring efficiency.
[0044] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 , Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring device also includes four stress sensors 4, which are respectively installed at the main beam 53 segment of the bridge erecting machine 5 between the four fixed legs 51 and the four movable legs 52 of the bridge erecting machine 5, and the four stress sensors 4 are connected to the controller 2.
[0045] When the longitudinal beam 54 above the main beam 53 of the bridge erecting machine 5 travels laterally beyond the position of the fixed support leg 51 of the bridge erecting machine 5, it is necessary to ensure that the two movable support legs 52 in the direction of movement are supported on the bridge piers. Otherwise, the main beam 53 of the bridge erecting machine 5 in the direction of movement may seriously deflect downwards, or even cause the machine to overturn. Stress sensors 4 are installed at the main beam 53 segment between the fixed support leg 51 and the movable support leg 52. The controller 2 acquires the stress parameters collected by the stress sensor 4 in real time. When the stress parameters collected by the stress sensor 4 exceed the preset stress threshold, the controller 2 can also perform alarm and limit action protection. Optionally, the stress sensor 4 is a resistive stress sensor or a piezoelectric stress sensor. Resistive stress sensors have the characteristics of simple structure and good stability, while piezoelectric stress sensors have the characteristics of high sensitivity and fast response.
[0046] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring device also includes four position sensors 511, which are respectively installed inside the vertical cylinders of the four fixed outriggers 51 of the bridge erecting machine 5. When the bridge erecting machine is performing cross-span construction, the overall height of the machine needs to be lowered by 500mm-1000mm. This requires real-time synchronization of the vertical cylinders of the four fixed outriggers 51 to ensure that the longitudinal and transverse levelness values of the main beam 53 are within a reasonable range. By incorporating the position sensors 511 within the vertical cylinders, the controller can employ PID closed-loop control to drive the proportional control valves to adjust the vertical cylinders, ensuring that the height of the main beam 53 is slowly and synchronously adjusted.
[0047] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the eight levelness sensors 1 are electrically connected to the controller 2 via a 485 bus. The 485 bus features strong anti-interference capability, high transmission rate, long transmission distance, and multi-site transmission.
[0048] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 As shown, the monitoring device also includes a human-machine interface display 6, which is electrically connected to the controller 2. The human-machine interface display 6 can display the data collected by the eight levelness sensors 1 in real time, facilitating monitoring and use by staff.
[0049] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, the controller 2 is a PLC. PLCs typically adopt industrial-grade design and manufacturing standards, have high reliability and stability, and can operate for extended periods in harsh industrial environments.
[0050] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, the level sensor 1 is a hydrostatic level sensor. The working principle of the hydrostatic level sensor is to monitor the levelness value using the pressure difference in a closed liquid. When the reference point is set to zero, the level instrument settles along with the measured point; the change in elevation difference between the reference point and the measured point is the levelness value of the measured point, expressed by measuring the liquid pressure difference. The hydrostatic level sensor is characterized by its small size, high accuracy, and strong adaptability.
[0051] This utility model embodiment also provides a monitoring system for the main beam of a bridge girder widening machine, including the aforementioned monitoring system for the main beam of the bridge girder widening machine.
