Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering construction technology, specifically to a concrete panel dummy joint dowel bar installation device. Background Technology

[0002] A dummy joint in concrete slabs refers to a joint that does not extend through the entire thickness of a cement concrete slab. It is mainly used to prevent irregular cracks from forming during the shrinkage of the concrete. The main function of the dummy joint is to cope with the stress generated by the cold shrinkage of the concrete and to prevent the concrete slab from developing a network of irregular cracks when the temperature changes.

[0003] Dummy joints are commonly found on airport pavements. To transfer vehicle loads between two pavement panels, prevent misalignment, increase stress transfer between adjacent concrete blocks, and prevent uneven settlement caused by excessive localized stress on the concrete pavement, dowel bars are used at the ends of runways and parallel taxiways where dummy joints exist. Therefore, during continuous concrete panel construction, dowel bar installation devices are required to fix the dowel bars in their designed positions. Existing dowel bar installation devices consist of connecting rods and pressure bar assemblies. The pressure bar assemblies are spaced below the connecting rods, which span both sides of the pavement. Workers apply downward force by holding both ends of the connecting rods, causing the pressure bar assemblies to press the dowel bars into the concrete. Currently, airport flight area pavements use dry-hardened concrete. Using existing dowel bar installation devices is challenging due to the weight of the equipment, the high Vebe consistency and viscosity of the concrete, making manual lifting difficult. Furthermore, during continuous construction of dummy joint dowel bars, movement is often inconvenient, hindering the fixing of the dowel bars. Summary of the Invention

The vibration motor 31 drives the pressure bar assemblies 33 to vibrate and press the dowel bar 200 into the concrete panel.

[0029] This invention uses a movable support 1 to support and move the entire device, reducing the amount of manual handling.
