Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of building roof construction, specifically a trestle bridge spanning the expansion joint of adjacent unit roofs. Background Technology

[0002] In building construction, expansion joints are gaps designed to accommodate deformations caused by temperature changes, earthquakes, settlement, and other factors. The sill of an expansion joint is typically about 600mm higher than the roof surface. When people want to cross from one unit's roof to another through the expansion joint, climbing directly is inconvenient and dangerous; going down and then up from the other unit is time-consuming and troublesome.

[0003] For example, the rooftop crossing bridge for expansion joints disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN208309361U includes four concrete bases, two steps, and one span. Steps are provided at both the front and back of the span. Concrete bases are provided at the bottom of the steps. Two embedded parts are pre-embedded in the concrete bases, and the two embedded parts are welded to the steps and the span. The span consists of a left railing, a right railing, and a platform plate. The platform plate is located between the left and right railings and is welded to the crossbars of the left and right railings. Railings are welded to both the left and right sides of the span, and handrails are welded to the top of the railings.

[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, people can safely and quickly cross the roofs of adjacent units. However, since the trestle itself is fixedly connected, the connection relationship of the trestle itself may be damaged or the trestle may be torn when the adjacent units experience uneven settlement, thermal expansion and contraction, or relative displacement of the adjacent roofs due to earthquakes and strong winds. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings in the aforementioned background technology, this utility model proposes a trestle bridge spanning the expansion joint of adjacent unit roofs. This solves the problem that when the trestle bridge is rigidly connected to the roof, and when uneven settlement, thermal expansion and contraction, or relative displacement of adjacent roofs occurs due to earthquakes or strong winds, the connection relationship of the trestle bridge itself is damaged or the trestle bridge is torn.

[0006] The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0007] A roof-crossing expansion joint trestle for adjacent units includes a trestle positioned between two unit buildings. The trestle comprises a platform, with its two ends hinged to a left and right stair section via pins. The left stair section is slidably connected to unit building one via a base assembly one, and the right stair section is slidably connected to unit building two via a base assembly two. The trestle slides via base assemblies one and two, and the platform can freely rotate around the pins and the left and right stair sections at a certain angle. When uneven settlement, thermal expansion and contraction, or relative displacement of adjacent roofs due to earthquakes or strong winds occur between adjacent units, the expansion joint trestle can shift relative to the roof while maintaining its absolute position. This avoids connection failure or cracking of the trestle when rigidly connected to the roof due to relative displacement. This invention solves the problem of trestle damage caused by uneven settlement, thermal expansion and contraction, earthquakes, or strong winds when rigidly connected to the roof. Furthermore, it is simple to operate, practical, and can be widely applied.

[0008] Furthermore, the trestle slides in a first direction via the first base assembly and in a second direction via the second base assembly, wherein the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal direction. The first direction is parallel to the expansion joint, and the second direction is perpendicular to the expansion joint.

[0009] Furthermore, the base assembly includes a parallel U-shaped slide rail, and the support leg of the left stair section slides in cooperation with the U-shaped slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the base assembly two includes a parallel U-shaped slide rail two, and the right stair section's support leg two is slidably engaged with the U-shaped slide rail two.

[0011] Furthermore, at least two of each of the U-shaped slide rail one and the U-shaped slide rail two are provided, and at least four of each of the support legs one and the support legs two are provided.

[0012] Furthermore, the first support leg includes a main keel that is inclined in the left stair section and a column that is vertically arranged, and the second support leg includes a main keel that is inclined in the right stair section and a column that is vertically arranged.

[0013] Furthermore, the dimension of the U-shaped slide in the second direction is larger than the dimension of the support leg in the second direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the dimension of the second U-shaped slide in the first direction is larger than the dimension of the second support leg in the first direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the guardrails of the left stair section (section 1), the right stair section (section 2), and the platform (section 3) are all independently installed. When uneven settlement occurs in unit building 1 or unit building 2, causing settlement in the left or right stair section, guardrails 1, 2, and 3 are not connected and do not affect the deformation of the trestle bridge.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper surfaces of both the first and second U-shaped slides are provided with PTFE plates. The PTFE plates have smooth surfaces and extremely low coefficients of friction, which can effectively reduce friction between the slides and the sliding objects and improve sliding efficiency.

[0017] The specific beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0018] The trestle can slide on the roof via base component one and base component two, and the platform of the trestle can rotate freely around the pivot and the left and right stair sections at a certain angle. When uneven settlement, thermal expansion and contraction, or relative displacement of adjacent roofs caused by earthquakes and strong winds occur between adjacent units, the trestle across the expansion joint can move relative to the roof while its absolute position remains unchanged. This avoids damage to the trestle itself due to relative displacement between adjacent roofs, which could lead to connection failure or cracking of the trestle. This utility model solves the problem of trestle damage caused by uneven settlement, thermal expansion and contraction, or earthquakes and strong winds between the two units. It is also simple to operate, practical, and can be widely used. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] A type of trestle bridge spanning the expansion joint of adjacent unit roofs, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a trestle bridge 3 is installed between Unit 1 and Unit 2. The trestle bridge 3 includes a platform 31. The two ends of the platform 31 are respectively hinged to a left stair section 32 and a right stair section 33 via pins 6. The left stair section 32 is slidably connected to Unit 1 via a base assembly 4, and the right stair section 33 is slidably connected to Unit 2 via a base assembly 5. The platform 31 is hinged to the two stair sections via pins 6. The base assemblies 4 and 5 are respectively installed on the roofs on both sides of the expansion joint. The base assembly 4 is parallel to the expansion joint and the base assembly 5 is perpendicular to the expansion joint, or the base assembly 5 is parallel to the expansion joint and the base assembly 4 is perpendicular to the expansion joint. The trestle can slide on the roof via base assembly 4 and base assembly 5. The platform 31 of the trestle can rotate freely around the pivot 6 and the left stair section 31 and right stair section 32 at a certain angle. When uneven settlement, thermal expansion and contraction, or relative displacement of adjacent roofs caused by earthquakes and strong winds occur between adjacent units, the trestle across the expansion joint can move relative to the roof but its absolute position remains unchanged. This avoids damage to the trestle itself due to relative displacement between adjacent roofs, which could lead to connection failure or cracking of the trestle. This utility model solves the problem of trestle damage caused by uneven settlement, thermal expansion and contraction, earthquakes, and strong winds between the two units. It is also simple to operate, practical, and can be widely used.
