Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an important equipment and device used in municipal subway shield tunnel projects, and is suitable for the foundation of gantry cranes used for excavation equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In municipal subway shield tunnel projects, due to site limitations, some gantry crane foundations are not on existing concrete structures. Instead of directly casting reinforced concrete foundation beams on-site, steel beams need to be erected on the existing concrete structure, and steel rails are laid on the steel beams as the foundation for the gantry crane's movement. However, due to the influence of the existing concrete structure, the span of the steel beams needs to be very large, resulting in very large cross-sectional dimensions. Such steel beams are generally not available on construction sites, and such large-span steel beams cannot be purchased or rented on the current market. Therefore, it is necessary to design a steel beam to meet the needs of the large-span gantry crane's movement foundation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is: to assemble and weld a 17m span steel beam for a 50t gantry crane using only a few simple steel plates. The goal is to ensure the steel beam will not be crushed, unstable, or excessively deformed. Simultaneously, it must prevent instability and deformation during hoisting. Furthermore, the assembly and welding must be simple, and the beam should be lightweight.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: two large steel plates with a thickness of 20mm, a width of 800mm, and a length of 17000mm are used as the upper and lower flange plates, and three large steel plates with a thickness of 20mm, a height of 1160mm, and a length of 17000mm are used as the web plates. The upper and lower flange plates and the web plates are connected by fillet welds. Reinforcing ribs for the web plates and flange plates are provided on the inner side of the web plates. There are two specifications for the reinforcing ribs: one is a reinforcing rib with a width of 340mm, a height of 1150mm, and a thickness of 10mm, and the other is a reinforcing rib with a width of 340mm, a height of 300mm, and a thickness of 10mm. The spacing of the reinforcing ribs with a width of 340mm, a height of 1150mm, and a thickness of 10mm is 1000mm, and the spacing of the reinforcing ribs with a width of 340mm, a height of 300mm, and a thickness of 10mm is also 1000mm. At the support positions at both ends of the steel beam, the spacing of the reinforcing ribs with a width of 340mm, a height of 1150mm, and a thickness of 10mm is 250mm, in order to prevent local instability of the web plates. The steel beams, which are assembled and welded from the above steel plates, are 800mm wide, 1200mm high, and 17m wide, capable of supporting the self-weight and lifting load of a 50t gantry crane.
[0005] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: after welding a few simple steel plates into a steel beam, it can meet the requirements of a 50t gantry crane traveling on the steel beam, and can meet the requirements of strength, rigidity, stability and integrity. At the same time, it is lightweight and can be reused.
[0006] This utility model device can save labor, speed up construction progress, and reduce costs. It has been used multiple times in actual engineering projects, proving that it can meet the requirements for strength, rigidity, stability, and overall integrity. Attached Figure Description
