[0039] The specific embodiments of the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0040] The steel box girder road bridge dehumidification and anti-freezing system of the utility model, including dehumidification and anti-freezing device, and control system, wherein, the arrangement of dehumidification and anti-freezing device is as shown in Figures 1-4 , and the connection schematic diagram of control system and dehumidification and anti-freezing device is as shown in Figure 5 .

[0041] The steel box girder road bridge dehumidification and anti-freezing system of the utility model is installed on the steel box girder road bridge 1, and the steel box girder road bridge 1 is generally a closed chamber 11, the chamber 11 is separated by a plurality of partitions, and the partitions are provided with through holes 12, which pass through the chamber 11 of the entire steel box girder road bridge 1; generally, a maintenance opening 13 is arranged at the lower part of the two ends of the steel box girder road bridge 1 and is communicated with the chamber 11, so that personnel can enter the steel box girder road bridge 1 for maintenance.

[0042] The steel box girder road bridge dehumidification and anti-freezing system of the utility model passes heated air into the chamber 11 of the steel box girder road bridge 1, thereby dehumidifying the steel box girder road bridge 1 and preventing the road surface on the upper surface of the steel box girder road bridge 1 from freezing.

[0043] The steel box girder road bridge dehumidification and anti-freezing system of the utility model specifically includes a heating device 2, and generally adopts a combustion furnace 21 due to the large heating power, the heat generated by combustion in the combustion furnace 21 is upwardly conveyed through an air inlet pipe 22, and then input into the chamber 11 through the maintenance opening 13 by a maintenance opening cover 23, and the hot air enters from the maintenance opening 13 at one end of the steel box girder road bridge 1 and is discharged from the maintenance opening 13 at the other end.

[0044] Preferably, the discharged cooling air is returned to the combustion furnace 21 through a gas return pipe 25, and the cooling air is preheated by a heat exchange device in the combustion furnace 21, so as to accelerate the temperature rise and save fuel.

[0045] When the combustion furnace 21 is selected, the branches generated by the municipal autumn and winter pruning of the greenery can be combined with the pulverization to form the biomass fuel (wood chips, leaves) and the like, the biomass combustion furnace is selected, the biomass generated by the municipal greenery is consumed by adding the biomass fuel, and the ash generated by the combustion can be used as the municipal greenery fertilizer after the spring and is directly used.

[0046] Two maintenance openings 13 are generally arranged on each side below the steel box girder road bridge 1, so that two maintenance opening covers 23 need to be arranged on the two sides respectively, and the corresponding air inlet pipe 22 and air return pipe 25 also need to be divided into two parts and connected with the maintenance opening cover 23 respectively.

[0047] The electric air valve 24 is further arranged between the air inlet pipe 22 and the maintenance opening cover 23, the electric air valve 24 adjusts the heat and flow rate entering the maintenance opening 13, so that the steel box girder road bridge 1 is uniformly heated.

[0048] Two induced draft fans 26 are arranged on the combustion furnace 21, one end of the induced draft fan 26 is connected with the combustion furnace 21 through the air pipe 27, and the other end is connected with the air inlet pipe 22 or the air return pipe 25 respectively; one induced draft fan 26 inputs the hot air generated by the combustion of the combustion furnace 21 into the air inlet pipe 22, and the other induced draft fan 26 extracts the air after being cooled from the chamber 11, and then inputs the air into the heat exchange device for preheating of the combustion air.

[0049] The external detection device 3 is arranged on the road surface above the steel box girder road bridge 1, and includes the camera 31 and the thermal imager 32, and is generally arranged at a high position through the stand column to monitor the condition of the road surface; the camera 31 generally adopts the fast ball camera, and the monitoring range can be expanded by rotating; the thermal imager 32 detects the surface temperature of the road surface through the infrared detection. The environmental sensor 33 is further arranged to monitor the temperature, humidity, wind direction and the like of the road surface, and the low-temperature side of the windward surface is more prone to low temperature. For convenient transmission, the wireless transmission antenna 34 can be further arranged to send and feed back the monitoring condition of the external detection device 3.

[0050] A plurality of axial flow fans 4 are arranged in the chamber 11 of the steel box girder road bridge 1 along the length direction, the axial flow fans 4 are arranged in sections along the length direction of the chamber 11, so that the heat can be more efficiently transmitted from one end of the chamber 11 to the other end, and the heat is uniformly distributed along the length direction of the chamber 11.

[0051] The internal detection device 5 is arranged in the chamber 11 of the steel box girder road bridge 1, mainly including the temperature and humidity sensor 52, and is arranged in sections along the length direction of the chamber 11 to detect the heat distribution condition in the chamber 11, and then cooperate with the axial flow fan 4 to adjust the heat distribution condition, so as to avoid that the heat is too concentrated at the inlet.

[0052] The internal detection device 5 also includes strain monitoring sensors 51, which are grouped and attached to the top and bottom of the chamber 11 to monitor the strain at key locations. Furthermore, displacement sensors 6 are installed on the bottom surfaces at both ends of the steel box girder bridge 1, near the piers. The health of the bridge is monitored using the strain monitoring sensors 51 and the displacement sensors 6.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, a control cabinet 7 is installed on site at the steel box girder road bridge 1. It is connected to the combustion furnace 21, the induced draft fan 26, the electric air valve 24, the axial flow fan 4, and various sensors (external detection device 3 and internal detection device 5) to control the stable operation of the dehumidification and antifreeze device.

[0054] During the humid rainy season, the combustion furnace 21 is started and burned at low power to generate dry hot air, which is then introduced into the chamber 11. This keeps the interior of the steel box girder bridge 1 within a reasonable humidity range, which can better improve the corrosion resistance of the internal structure. At the same time, the air carries a certain amount of heat, which heats the steel structure to a temperature slightly higher than the ambient temperature, making it less likely for water vapor to condense and preventing corrosion of the exterior of the steel structure.

[0055] When snow and ice need to be removed in cold winter weather, the combustion furnace 21 is started and the combustion is carried out at high power to generate heat. The heat is then introduced into the chamber 11, and the hot air rises, mainly heating the upper part of the steel box girder bridge 1. This ensures that the surface of the road (concrete layer) is kept stable above zero degrees Celsius, so that the snow will melt into water in time and be discharged through the drainage system. Even in winter rainy conditions, low-temperature freezing will not occur.

[0056] The control cabinet 7, in conjunction with the thermal imager 32 and the environmental sensor 33, monitors the road surface and surrounding environment. Combined with the internal temperature and humidity sensor 52, it adjusts the combustion power of the combustion furnace 21, the opening and closing degree of the electric air valve 24, and the air flow of the axial flow fans 4 at various locations. This ensures that the heat is reasonably distributed and fully utilized, while avoiding localized rapid heating that could cause large deformation of the steel structure of the steel box girder bridge 1 due to localized heating, thus posing a risk of bridge deformation.

[0057] The control cabinet 7 is also connected to the central control center 8, which sends the monitoring data of the strain monitoring sensor 51 and the displacement sensor 6 to the central control center 8 in a timely manner for monitoring and analyzing the health status of the steel box girder bridge 1.

[0058] The steel box girder road bridge dehumidification and anti-freezing system can be implemented by adding a combustion furnace 21 and a control cabinet 7 on the bridge pier, and does not occupy the space under the steel box girder road bridge, and can effectively implement dehumidification and anti-freezing, reduce the corrosion risk probability of the steel structure, and especially can realize snow skiing and ice melting in winter, improve the traffic safety of the road surface, and can realize full-automatic operation, and greatly reduce the manpower.

[0059] The preferred embodiments of the utility model have been specifically described above, but the utility model is not limited to the described embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or replacements without departing from the spirit of the utility model, and these equivalent modifications or replacements are all included in the range defined by the claims of the application.
