Accurate testing of bridge strength is an important part of ensuring the quality of bridge engineering.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] A multi-directional stress test structure for testing the strength of bridge piers in civil engineering includes two mounting half-rings 1, which are hinged together. A multi-directional stress testing mechanism 2 is provided on the side walls of the two mounting half-rings 1, an auxiliary support testing mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the two mounting half-rings 1, a support and protection mechanism 4 is provided on the inner walls of the two mounting half-rings 1, a hoisting assembly 5 is provided at the top of the two mounting half-rings 1, and the two mounting half-rings 1 are connected by a connecting assembly 6.

[0032] The multi-directional stress testing mechanism 2 includes a support sleeve 21, an adjusting screw 22, an adjusting screw block 23, and a stress test piece 24. Two support sleeves 21 are set on the side wall of the mounting half ring 1. The adjusting screw 22 is movably set in the middle of the support sleeve 21. Two adjusting screw blocks 23 are threaded to both ends of the adjusting screw 22. The side wall of the adjusting screw block 23 contacts the support sleeve 21. The stress test piece 24 is hinged to one end of the adjusting screw 22. The two support sleeves 21 are located at both ends of the mounting half ring 1.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support and protection mechanism 4 includes a U-shaped plate 41, a T-shaped rod 42, a support spring 43, a mounting frame 44, and a pulley 45. Multiple U-shaped plates 41 are fixedly connected to the two side walls at both ends of the mounting half-ring 1. Two T-shaped rods 42 are movably arranged in the middle of the U-shaped plate 41. The support spring 43 is sleeved on the side wall of the T-shaped rod 42. The mounting frame 44 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the two T-shaped rods 42. The two ends of the support spring 43 are in contact with the mounting frame 44 and the U-shaped plate 41, respectively. The pulley 45 is arranged in the middle of the mounting frame 44.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the connecting assembly 6 includes a connecting strip 61, mounting screws 62, a through groove 63, and a mounting screw block 64. The connecting strip 61 is disposed at one end of the mounting half-ring 1. Two mounting screws 62 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting strip 61. The through groove 63 is opened on the side wall of the connecting strip 61. The mounting screws 62 are movably connected to the through groove 63. The mounting screw block 64 is threadedly connected to one end of the mounting screws 62 and contacts the connecting strip 61.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a limiting plate 7 is installed at one end of the adjusting screw 22, and a guide cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate 7. A guide rod 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting half ring 1, and the guide cylinder 8 and the guide rod 9 are movably connected.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, auxiliary wheels 10 are provided at both ends of the mounting frame 44, and the diameter of the auxiliary wheels 10 is smaller than the diameter of the pulley 45.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a reinforcing rod 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame 44, and the reinforcing rod 11 is movably connected to the mounting half-ring 1.

[0038] In use, firstly, two mounting half-rings 1 are placed on the bridge pier. When the two mounting half-rings 1 are joined, the mounting screw 62 enters the through groove 63. The two mounting half-rings 1 are connected by the mounting screw block 64 and the mounting screw 62. When the mounting half-rings 1 are adjusted on the bridge pier, the pulley 45 contacts the bridge pier. When the mounting half-rings 1 are adjusted, the pulley 45 supports and protects the movement of the mounting half-rings 1. The support spring 43 supports the mounting frame 44, so that the movement of the pulley 45 is buffered. Then, the adjusting screw block 23 is rotated to adjust the position of the adjusting screw 22 inside the support sleeve 21. When the adjusting screw 22 moves, the movement of the adjusting screw 22 is guided and restricted by the limiting plate 7, the guide cylinder 8 and the guide rod 9, so that the stress test piece 24 contacts the bridge pier. Multiple stress test pieces 24 are distributed around the bridge pier. The stress test pieces 24 test the stress of the bridge pier. In this way, stress testing of the bridge pier can be carried out in multiple directions and positions, which improves the accuracy of stress testing of the bridge pier.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary support testing mechanism 3 includes a support block 31, a support screw 32, a support cone 33, and a strain gauge 34. Two support blocks 31 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting half ring 1, the support screw 32 is threadedly connected to the middle of the support block 31, the support cone 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the support screw 32, and the strain gauge 34 is embedded in the side wall of the support cone 33.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the hoisting assembly 5 includes hoisting bars 51, connectors 52, and connecting holes 53. The two hoisting bars 51 are hinged to the side wall of the mounting half-ring 1, the connectors 52 are hinged to the top of the hoisting bars 51, and the connecting holes 53 are located in the middle of the connectors 52.

[0041] In use, the installation half-ring 1 is fixed to the pier using the lifting bar 51, connector 52, and connector port with impact screws. This allows for the lifting and fixing of the installation half-ring. At the same time, rotating the support screw 32 causes the support cone 33 to contact the pier. Multiple support screws 32 support the installation half-ring 1, ensuring that the installation half-ring 1 is distributed at the axial position of the pier. Simultaneously, when the support cone 33 contacts the pier, the strain gauge 34 also contacts the pier, performing stress testing on the pier. This increases the number of stress testing positions on the pier and improves the accuracy of the stress value in the pier strength test.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem that existing strain gauges for bridge stress testing cannot perform stress testing on multiple orientations and locations of bridge piers, cannot simulate the complex stress conditions of bridge piers in actual use, and thus cannot accurately test the stress of bridge piers is solved.

[0043] Working principle: In use, the two mounting half-rings 1 are first placed on the bridge pier. When the two mounting half-rings 1 are joined, the mounting screw 62 enters the through groove 63. The two mounting half-rings 1 are connected by the mounting screw block 64 and the mounting screw 62. They are then fixed to the bridge pier by the lifting strip 51, the connector 52, and the connection port using impact screws, which can lift and fix the mounting half strip. Then, the adjusting screw block 23 is rotated to adjust the position of the adjusting screw 22 inside the support sleeve 21. When the adjusting screw 22 moves, it is limited by the limit. Plate 7, guide cylinder 8, and guide rod 9 guide and restrict the movement of adjusting screw 22, causing stress test piece 24 to contact the pier. Multiple stress test pieces 24 are distributed around the pier, and the stress test pieces 24 perform stress tests on the pier. At the same time, the support screw 32 is rotated to make the support cone 33 contact the pier. Multiple support screws 32 support the mounting half ring 1, so that the mounting half ring 1 is distributed at the axial position of the pier. When the support cone 33 contacts the pier, the strain gauge 34 contacts the pier, and the strain gauge 34 performs stress tests on the pier.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
