Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an expansion joint, specifically a highway bridge expansion joint that can maintain the smoothness of the road surface, and belongs to the field of highway bridge technology. Background Technology

[0002] Expansion joints in highway bridges are important structural features used to absorb bridge displacement or deformation caused by external factors such as temperature changes, vehicle loads, and seismic activity. They not only ensure the normal use of the bridge but also extend its lifespan.

[0003] In the existing technology, the structure of the comb-tooth expansion joint is usually composed of a series of metal parts with tooth-like shapes. The teeth are connected to each other by a plug-in method, which can effectively bear and absorb the displacement of the structure. The comb-tooth expansion joint can adapt to a large range of structural displacement and is particularly suitable for bridges and roads with large temperature differences and heavy loads.

[0004] In practical applications, it has been found that the design of comb-tooth expansion joints typically consists of multiple interlocking toothed plates with gaps between them. During use, dirt can easily accumulate in these gaps due to vehicle traffic or weather conditions. Because the gaps between the toothed plates of the comb-tooth expansion joint are relatively narrow, conventional cleaning tools have difficulty accessing these small spaces for thorough cleaning. Therefore, this paper proposes a highway bridge expansion joint that can maintain the smoothness of the road surface. Utility Model Content

[0007] The first comb plate is provided with a splicing mechanism, which includes a fixing plate and a first rectangular notch opened on the first comb plate. The fixing plate is provided with a second fixing hole that passes through the slide plate. The fixing plate is provided with a second rectangular notch. A limit plate is fixed on the right side of the fixing plate. A sealing strip and a guide block are fixed on the second rectangular notch.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a highway bridge expansion joint that can maintain the smoothness of the road surface, including a comb assembly 1. The comb assembly 1 includes a first comb plate 101 and a second comb plate 102. The first comb plate 101 and the second comb plate 102 are slidably inserted together. When the bridge deforms, the first comb plate 101 and the second comb plate 102 are interleaved to adapt to the deformation of the bridge. A sliding plate 104 is fixed to the bottom of the first comb plate 101.

[0021] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The outer contour of the slide plate 104 is rectangular.

A first fixing hole 103 is provided on the first comb plate 101. The first fixing hole 103 passes through the slide plate 104 and the waterproof strip 105. The slide plate 104 can reduce the frictional resistance between the first comb plate 101 and the second comb plate 102. The waterproof strip 105 can achieve a better sealing effect.

[0022] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first comb plate 101 is provided with a splicing mechanism 2, which includes a fixing plate 201 and a first rectangular notch 212 opened on the first comb plate 101. The fixing plate 201 is provided with a second fixing hole 207, which passes through the slide plate 104. The fixing plate 201 is provided with a second rectangular notch 209. A limit plate 202 is fixed on the right side of the fixing plate 201. A sealing strip 205 and a guide block 210 are fixed on the second rectangular notch 209. The fixing plate 201, the first comb plate 101, and the second comb plate 102 can directly bear the vehicle load. The top of the first comb plate 101, the second comb plate 102, and the fixing plate 201 are close to the road surface height, so the road surface flatness can be maintained and the height difference can be reduced.

[0023] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4A sealing gasket 208 is fixed on the sealing strip 205. The sealing gasket 208 is in contact with the sealing groove 204. The limiting plate 202 and the sealing strip 205 are parallel to the width direction of the fixing plate 201, and the guide block 210 is perpendicular to the width direction of the fixing plate 201.

[0024] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3 A limiting groove 203, a sealing groove 204, and a guide groove 211 are provided on the first rectangular notch 212. The sealing groove 204 and the limiting groove 203 are parallel to the width direction of the fixing plate 201. The limiting plate 202 and the limiting groove 203 cooperate to constrain the first comb plate 101 and the fixing plate 201 in the vertical direction, thereby improving the connection strength between the first comb plate 101 and the fixing plate 201. The sealing strip 205, the sealing groove 204, and the sealing gasket 208 cooperate to effectively improve the sealing and waterproofing effect between the first comb plate 101 and the fixing plate 201.

[0025] The guide groove 211 is perpendicular to the width direction of the fixed plate 201. The guide block 210 and the guide groove 211 can constrain the fixed plate 201 and the first comb plate 101 in the longitudinal direction, thereby improving the connection strength between the first comb plate 101 and the fixed plate 201. The first comb plate 101 is provided with a connecting hole 206 that penetrates the fixed plate 201. The connecting hole 206 penetrates the waterproof strip 105. The outline of the second rectangular notch 209 matches that of the first rectangular notch 212.

The waterproof tape 105 and the sliding plate 104 are covered by the fixing plate 201 and the second comb plate 102. Then, the fixing plate 201 and the second comb plate 102 are fixed in the reserved groove through the second fixing hole 207 and the first fixing hole 103. Finally, the first comb plate 101 is fixed to the fixing plate 201 through the connecting hole 206.

[0027] When it is necessary to clean the dirt accumulated in the narrow gap between the first comb plate 101 and the second comb plate 102, firstly, remove the fixing bolts on the connecting hole 206, then push the first comb plate 101. The first comb plate 101 will slide on the guide block 210 and the fixing plate 201 through the guide groove 211. Finally, lift the first comb plate 101 upwards and remove it from the fixing plate 201. Then, the dirt accumulated in the narrow gap between the first comb plate 101 and the second comb plate 102 can be cleaned. At the same time, the first comb plate 101 itself can also be cleaned. This device can effectively solve the problem of the difficulty in cleaning the dirt accumulated in the narrow gap between the first comb plate 101 and the second comb plate 102.
