Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction, and in particular to a tensioning platform hanger suitable for π-shaped piers. Background Technology
[0002] As the supporting structure of the bridge beams, the construction quality of bridge piers is of paramount importance. There are various types of bridge pier designs. Currently, most municipal bridges and bridges that combine road and rail use the π-shaped pier structure, which means that the horizontal beams of the pier have cantilevered sections extending from both ends, forming an overall π shape. π-shaped piers usually have a prestressed structure inside, with the prestressing material arranged laterally within the horizontal beams of the π-shaped pier. After the concrete construction is completed, the prestressing material needs to be tensioned.
[0003] Traditionally, tensioning of π-shaped piers requires the erection of tensioning supports at the bottom of the cantilever section. Construction workers then tension the prestress on the cantilever sections at both ends of the crossbeam using these supports. However, the manufacturing of tensioning supports requires a significant amount of steel, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, the erection of tensioning supports is complex and time-consuming. Additionally, some projects have access roads next to the piers for the passage of materials, equipment, and personnel, making it impossible to erect tensioning supports for construction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tensioning platform hanger suitable for π-shaped piers. It is made of welded material, which effectively ensures safety while being structurally robust, easy to disassemble, and quick to install, thereby improving work efficiency, accelerating construction progress, ensuring construction quality, and saving construction costs.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:
[0006] A tensioning platform hanger suitable for π-shaped piers is characterized by comprising a lower frame, columns, an upper frame, reinforcing diagonal braces, guardrails, top supports, ladders, a base plate, and a safety net. The lower and upper frames, which are both rectangular and placed parallel to each other, are connected together by six vertical columns. Reinforcing diagonal braces are arranged between the upper frame and the columns, and between the lower frame and the columns.

[0049] Assembly process:
[0050] During assembly, first weld the ends of the long rod 11 to the same side of the short rod 12 at the edge to form a rectangular structure. Then, weld the middle short rod 13 at equal intervals in the middle of the rectangular structure, followed by short rod 14. Connect the short rods at equal intervals to form the lower frame 1. Weld the ends of the upper short rod 32 to the same side of the upper long rod 31 to form a rectangular structure. Then, weld the horizontal rod 33 in the middle, symmetrically arranging two near the edge of the pier. Then, arrange the lifting lugs 34 on the upper short rod 32, with the specific positions symmetrically arranged according to the calculated center of gravity of the overall structure, to form the upper frame 3. Weld a base plate 8 onto the lower frame 1, and then weld six columns 2 at appropriate positions. The spacing between the two rows in the transverse direction represents the structural width of the ladder 7. Then, weld them to the upper frame 3, and reinforce the connection with stiffening plates 9. Finally, reinforce the connection between the columns 2 and the upper and lower frames 1 with reinforcing diagonal braces 4. The bottom horizontal bar 72 is connected to the lower frame 1, and then a bottom short bar 73 is welded into it. A base plate 8 is then placed, followed by the welding of uprights 71. The connections between uprights 71 and posts 2, between uprights 71 and each other, and between posts 2 are made using protective short bars 74. After that, a safety net 10 is laid. Ladder short bars 75 are arranged parallel and evenly between one side of the posts 2 and uprights 71, with a spacing of 300mm. The guardrail 5 short bars are formed by welding guardrail straight bars 51 and guardrail diagonal bars 52. Guardrail 5 is placed around the lower frame 1, on three sides of the upper frame 3, and at the top of the ladder 5 up to the edge of the pier.
[0051] Installation process:
[0052] During installation, a crane is used to lift the tensioning platform hanger at four points to raise it to a suitable height. Then, the distance between the tensioning platform hanger and the crossbeam B of the π-shaped pier A is adjusted. The tensioning platform hanger is then inserted from the side of the π-shaped pier A so that the upper frame 3 sits on the crossbeam of the π-shaped pier A. Attention should be paid to the position of the pad stone C to avoid pressing on it. After installation, the hanger needs to be fixed with the top support 6.
[0053] Demolition process:
[0054] During dismantling, first remove the top support 6, and then use a crane to lift the tensioning platform frame directly out.
[0055] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
