Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to auxiliary facilities for steel structure construction, and in particular to an operating platform suitable for steel structure construction. Background Technology

[0002] Steel structure reinforcement and renovation is an important means to ensure the safety of building structures and extend their service life. With social development and advancements in construction technology, steel structure buildings are widely used due to their excellent performance. However, during use, steel structures may require reinforcement and renovation for various reasons. These reasons include, but are not limited to, insufficient structural bearing capacity, increased load, extended service life, changes in function, material quality issues, and foundation problems. For example, errors during design or construction, material aging due to long-term use, and damage caused by natural disasters or accidents can all affect the performance of steel structures.

[0003] Currently, steel structure reinforcement and renovation technology is quite mature, forming a relatively complete standardized and regulated system. With the development of science and technology and the application of new materials and technologies, such as high-performance steel, composite materials, and BIM technology, reinforcement and renovation have become more efficient and safer. Furthermore, the reinforcement and renovation industry is increasingly emphasizing safety management and environmental protection during construction to ensure construction safety and reduce environmental impact.

[0004] In steel structures, areas frequently requiring reinforcement and modification include columns, beams, joints, roof structures, and foundations. Columns and beams are the main load-bearing components of the structure; when their load-bearing capacity is insufficient or they are damaged, reinforcement is needed by adding external steel cladding, adding supports, and bonding steel plates or carbon fiber fabric. Joints are critical points connecting different components and are often reinforced by adding welding, adding connecting plates, and using high-strength bolts. Roof structures require special attention to the effects of wind and snow loads; their stability can be improved by adding supports or reinforcing the roof panels. Foundation reinforcement mainly addresses issues of ground settlement or insufficient load-bearing capacity. Existing steel structure reinforcement and modification often involves erecting full-span scaffolding, which is costly, time-consuming, and affects construction efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the high cost and long time required for reinforcing and modifying steel structures by erecting multiple scaffolds, which affects construction efficiency, and to provide an operating platform suitable for steel structure construction.

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an operating platform suitable for steel structure construction, comprising:

[0007] The platform body is attached to one side of the steel structure, and a hook is provided on the upper part of the platform body for attaching to the steel structure.

[0008] A walking device is disposed between the platform body and the steel structure, the walking device is connected to the platform body, and the walking device is equipped with a brake for locking the walking device.

[0009] A counterweight is attached to the hook and is used to balance the platform body.

[0010] The dimensions of the hooks are determined based on the dimensions of the steel structure.

[0011] The platform is attached to the steel structure via hooks and is equipped with a walking mechanism, allowing it to move along the length of the steel structure. The walking mechanism is also equipped with brakes, enabling the platform to stop at appropriate locations as needed during construction. Counterweights are installed on the opposite side of the steel structure if the platform is attached to one side, ensuring balance. This device allows construction to proceed simply by attaching the platform to the steel structure and using counterweights for balance, eliminating the need for full-span scaffolding. This reduces the time and cost of scaffolding erection and improves construction efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, the platform body is also provided with guardrails.

[0013] The height of the guardrail is determined based on the actual situation. Installing guardrails can enhance the safety of this device.

[0014] Preferably, the system further includes a gate connected to the railing. The gate is openable and closable, and both the inside and outside of the gate are provided with latches for fixing the gate in the closed position.

[0015] The platform itself is equipped with a gate for easy access for operators. Both the outer and inner sides of the gate are secured with latches, requiring both latches to be opened before the gate can be opened. This minimizes the risk of the gate opening accidentally during construction, thus enhancing the safety of the device.

[0016] Preferably, it further includes a shelf, which is connected to the platform body via a hinge. The hinge axis is parallel to the plane of the platform body. The guardrail is provided with a first limiting member for fixing the folded position of the shelf.

[0017] The shelf can be opened and closed. When items need to be placed, the shelf can be opened; when not needed, the shelf can be folded up and fixed with the first limiting member.

[0018] Preferably, it further includes a second limiting member, which is used to limit the opening and closing angle of the shelf.

[0019] Preferably, the second limiting member is an elastic member, with one end connected to the shelf and the other end connected to the guardrail.

[0020] The elastic component can be a spring or an elastic rope. The length of the elastic component is determined according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] The elastic component is connected to the shelf at one end and to the guardrail at the other end. It can not only limit the maximum swing angle of the shelf, but also retract the shelf by pulling the elastic component when it is retracted, which is convenient for operation.

[0022] Preferably, the walking device is located on the side of the hook facing the steel structure.

[0023] Preferably, it also includes a push rod, which is disposed on the platform body, and pulling the push rod can drive the brake to lock the walking device.

[0024] The push rod is located on the platform body. Pulling the push rod can activate the brake and lock the walking device, making it convenient for personnel to operate within the platform.

[0025] Preferably, it further includes a guide rope and a safety rope, the guide rope being arranged along the length of the steel structure, one end of the safety rope being connected to the guide rope, and the length of the safety rope being greater than the distance from the guide rope to the platform body.

[0026] If the length of the safety rope is greater than the distance from the guide rope to the platform body, then the operators inside the platform body can wear the safety rope properly. Setting up both safety ropes and guide ropes helps ensure the personal safety of the operators.

[0027] Preferably, it further includes a control module, which is communicatively connected to the walking device, and the control module is used to control the start and stop of the walking device.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0029] This utility model provides an operating platform suitable for steel structure construction, comprising a platform body that is hung on the steel structure via hooks and equipped with a walking device, allowing the platform body to move along the length of the steel structure. The walking device is also equipped with brakes, enabling the platform body to stop at appropriate locations as needed during construction. Counterweights are provided; if the platform body is hung on one side of the steel structure, the counterweights are placed on the other side to balance the platform body. This device allows construction to proceed simply by hanging the platform body on the steel structure and using counterweights for balance, eliminating the need for full-span scaffolding. This overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies that require extensive scaffolding for steel structure reinforcement and modification, resulting in high costs, long construction times, and reduced construction efficiency.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an operating platform suitable for steel structure construction includes:

[0042] Platform body 1, which is attached to one side of steel structure 10, and a hook 101 is provided on the upper part of platform body 1 for attaching steel structure 10;

[0043] The walking device 2 is disposed between the platform body 1 and the steel structure 10. The walking device 2 is connected to the platform body 1. The walking device 2 is equipped with a brake, which is used to fix the walking device 2.

[0044] Counterweight 3 is connected to hook 101 and is used to balance the platform body 1.

[0045] The platform body 1 is hung on the steel structure 10 via hooks 101 and is also equipped with a traveling device 2, allowing the platform body 1 to move along the length of the steel structure 10. The traveling device 2 is also equipped with brakes, allowing the platform body 1 to stop at appropriate locations as needed for construction. A counterweight 3 is provided; if the platform body 1 is hung on one side of the steel structure 10, the counterweight 3 is located on the other side of the steel structure 10 to balance the platform body 1.

[0046] Furthermore, the platform body 1 is also equipped with a guardrail 4.

[0047] Furthermore, it also includes a gate 5, which is connected to the guardrail 4. The gate 5 is openable and closable, and the gate 5 is provided with latches 501 both inside and outside the guardrail 4 (the latches 501 inside the gate 5 are...). Figures 1-3 (Not shown in the image), the latch 501 is used to fix the gate 5 in the closed position. Since both the outer and inner sides of the gate 5 are equipped with latches 501, both the inner and outer latches 501 must be opened to open the gate 5. This minimizes the possibility of the gate 5 opening during construction due to operational errors, thus improving the safety of the device.

[0048] Furthermore, it also includes a shelf 6, which is connected to the platform body 1 via a hinge 7. The axis of the hinge 7 is parallel to the plane of the platform body 1. The guardrail 4 is provided with a first limiting member 602 for fixing the folded position of the shelf 6. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first limiting member 602 can rotate along the pivot axis provided on the guardrail 4, wherein... Figure 3 The arrow indicates the direction of rotation of the first limiting member 602. Rotating the first limiting member 602 causes the shelf 6 to lose its constraint and open.

[0049] Furthermore, a second limiting member is included, which is used to limit the opening and closing angle of the shelf 6. In this embodiment, the second limiting member is an elastic member 601, one end of which is connected to the shelf 6 and the other end to the guardrail 4. In this embodiment, the elastic member 601 is a spring, and the length of the elastic member 601 is determined according to the actual situation, as long as it is ensured that the elastic member 601 is in a stretched state when the shelf 6 is rotated to its maximum position. The connection of one end of the elastic member 601 to the shelf 6 and the other end to the guardrail 4 not only limits the maximum swing angle of the shelf 6, but also allows the shelf 6 to be retracted by pulling the elastic member 601 when it is retracted, which is convenient for operation. In other embodiments, the spring can also be replaced with an elastic rope.

[0050] Furthermore, the walking device 2 is disposed on the side of the hook 101 facing the steel structure 10. In this embodiment, the hook 101 is "U"-shaped, and the walking device 2 is disposed inside the hook 101 in the area facing the steel structure 10. In this embodiment, the walking device 2 is a wheel, and the top and side surfaces of the steel structure 10 are connected to the walking device 2 to prevent displacement along the direction perpendicular to the length of the steel structure 10 during the movement of the platform body 1, thus affecting the stability of the platform body 1.

[0051] Furthermore, it also includes a push rod ( Figures 1-3 (Not shown in the image), the push rod is mounted on the platform body 1. Pulling the push rod can activate the brake to lock the walking device 2. The push rod is mounted on the platform body 1, and pulling the push rod can activate the brake to lock the walking device 2, facilitating operation by personnel inside the platform.

[0052] Furthermore, the system also includes a guide rope 8 and a safety rope 9. The guide rope 8 is arranged along the length of the steel structure 10, and one end of the safety rope 9 is connected to the guide rope 8. The length of the safety rope 9 is greater than the distance from the guide rope 8 to the platform body 1. Because the length of the safety rope 9 is greater than the distance from the guide rope 8 to the platform body 1, operators inside the platform body 1 can wear the safety rope 9. The inclusion of the safety rope 9 and the guide rope 8 helps ensure the personal safety of the operators.

[0053] Furthermore, it also includes a control module, which is communicatively connected to the walking device 2, and the control module is used to control the start and stop of the walking device 2.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
