Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering technology, and in particular to a filling auxiliary device for gabion stone cages used in water conservancy and hydropower engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Gabion cages are wire mesh cages made of woven hexagonal wire mesh. Gabion mesh is mechanically woven from high-corrosion-resistant, high-strength, and ductile low-carbon steel wire or PVC-coated steel wire. The box-shaped structure made from this mesh is called a gabion. Gabion cages have a wide range of applications in water conservancy projects. They can control and guide rivers and floods, protect river channels, canals, and riverbeds, and provide bank and slope protection.

[0003] When manufacturing and using gabion baskets, the traditional method of manual filling is too inefficient, so engineering machinery is used for filling. In order to reduce the deformation of gabion baskets during the filling process, existing mechanical filling machines are equipped with support frames inside the gabion baskets to support them and facilitate the filling of stones. However, the lateral pressure of the stones subsequently filled into the gabion baskets makes it difficult to remove the support frames, and the stones will scratch the surface of the support frames during the removal process, reducing the service life of the support frames. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to facilitate the removal of the support frame and extend its service life, this application provides an auxiliary device for filling gabion stone cages for water conservancy and hydropower projects.

[0005] The auxiliary device for filling gabion stone cages for water conservancy and hydropower projects provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The filling auxiliary device for gabion stone cages used in water conservancy and hydropower projects includes a support frame. The support frame includes a base, two sets of first support plates and second support plates. Both sets of first support plates and second support plates are rotatably mounted on the base. The first support plates and second support plates are alternately arranged and perpendicular to each other. The base is provided with a rotating component that drives the first support plates and second support plates to rotate. Both the first support plates and second support plates are provided with a connecting mechanism for connecting the gabion stone cages. The gabion stone cages are disposed inside the support frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, workers place the gabion cage on the support frame and connect it to the first and second support plates on the support frame through a connecting mechanism. The first and second support plates can open the gabion cage to facilitate the filling of stones. After the stones are filled, workers first contact the connection between the gabion cage and the support frame. Under the action of the rotating component, the first and second support plates rotate outward to move away from the gabion cage, thereby exposing the gabion cage filled with stones on its inner wall. This makes it easier for workers to operate cranes and other tools to move the gabion cage to a suitable position. Setting the support frame on the outside of the gabion cage makes it easy to separate the support frame from the gabion cage, avoiding the difficulty of movement due to the pressure of the stones during separation or serious slippage during movement, thereby improving the service life of the support frame.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a motor, two sets of first rotating rods and second rotating rods, and two sets of first rotating slots and second rotating slots are respectively opened around the base. The first support plate rotates in the first rotating slot, and the second support plate rotates in the second rotating slot. The two ends of the first rotating rod rotate on the inner wall of the first rotating slot, and the second rotating rod rotates on the inner wall of the second rotating slot. The first support plate is fixedly sleeved on the first rotating rod, and the second support plate is fixedly sleeved on the second rotating rod. The motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the base, and the rotating shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of one of the first rotating rods. Adjacent first rotating rods and second rotating rods are connected by a bevel gear set.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff starts the motor, which drives the first rotating rod to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating rod drives the second rotating rod to rotate through the bevel gear set, and so on. Both sets of first and second rotating rods rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two sets of first and second support plates to rotate synchronously in the direction away from the gabion cage, thus avoiding the squeezing and friction on the inner wall of the support frame when the gabion cage is removed later.

[0010] Preferably, both the first support plate and the second support plate are provided with multiple sets of the connecting mechanisms.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sets of connecting mechanisms can strengthen the connection strength of gabion cages and prevent detachment during the stone filling process, thus avoiding affecting the stone filling.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting plate and a plurality of connecting rods, the plurality of connecting rods being fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The first support plate and the second support plate are provided with a plurality of through holes for the connecting rods to pass through. The connecting rods pass through and slide on the first support plate. A spring is sleeved on the connecting rod, and the two ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite side walls of the first support plate and the connecting plate. A connecting component for connecting to the gabion is provided on the connecting rod, and a limiting component for limiting the position of the connecting plate is provided next to the connecting plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, under natural conditions, the connecting plate, pushed by the spring, keeps the connecting rod in the perforation. When the worker pushes the connecting plate to compress the spring, the connecting rod extends out of the perforation and inserts into the gabion cage. Under the action of the connecting component, it connects with the gabion cage. At this time, the worker uses the general restraint component to fix the position of the connecting plate, maintaining the connection with the gabion cage, which facilitates the subsequent stone filling operation.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes two hook plates, which are movably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting plate. The hook plates can be hung and abutted against the gabion cage. The connecting rod has hinge grooves on both sides of the end away from the connecting plate. A hinge rod is fixedly installed in the hinge groove. The hook plate rotates on the hinge rod. A torsion spring is installed on the hinge rod. The two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hinge groove and the side wall of the hook plate, respectively.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the connecting rod moves outward from the perforation, the hook plate moves outward along with the connecting rod and passes through the grid of the gabion cage. After the hook plate completely passes through the perforation, the limiting effect of the perforation on the torsion spring disappears. Under the action of the torsion spring, the hook plate rotates outward and abuts against the inner wall of the gabion cage, thereby connecting the gabion cage with the first support plate and the second support plate. This allows the gabion cage to be supported and prevents collapse or other problems during the filling process.

[0016] Preferably, the limiting component includes a fixing rod and a stop plate. The fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support plate, and the stop plate is rotatably sleeved on the end of the fixing rod away from the first support plate and is interference-fitted. The stop plate abuts against the side wall of the connecting plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after the worker pushes the connecting plate to compress the spring, the worker rotates the abutment plate so that the abutment plate abuts against the side wall of the connecting plate. Then the connecting plate is released. Under the pushing force of the connecting plate and the friction between it and the fixing rod, the abutment plate remains stationary, thereby restricting the position of the connecting plate and reducing the possibility of the hook plate detaching from the gabion.

[0018] Preferably, rubber pads are fixedly provided on both the first support plate and the second support plate, and the connecting rod passes through the rubber pads.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber pad in the filler can reduce the impact force of the stone on the first and second support plates, reduce the damage to the first and second support plates, and improve the service life of the support.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. Workers place the gabion cage on the support frame and connect it to the first and second support plates on the support frame via a connecting mechanism. The first and second support plates can open the gabion cage to facilitate the filling of stones. After the stones are filled, the workers first contact the connection between the gabion cage and the support frame. Under the action of the rotating component, the first and second support plates rotate outward to move away from the gabion cage, thereby exposing the gabion cage filled with stones on its inner wall. This makes it easier for workers to operate cranes and other tools to move the gabion cage to a suitable position. Setting the support frame on the outside of the gabion cage makes it easy to separate the support frame from the gabion cage, avoiding the difficulty of moving due to the pressure of the stones during separation or the serious slippage during movement, thereby improving the service life of the support frame.

[0022] 2. The staff starts the motor, which drives the first rotating rod to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating rod drives the second rotating rod to rotate through the bevel gear set, and so on. Both sets of first and second rotating rods rotate synchronously, thereby driving both sets of first and second support plates to rotate synchronously away from the gabion cage, thus avoiding the squeezing and friction on the inner wall of the support frame when the gabion cage is removed later.

[0023] 3. In the filler, the rubber pad can reduce the impact of the stone on the first and second support plates, reduce damage to the first and second support plates, and improve the service life of the support. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses an auxiliary device for filling gabion cages used in water conservancy and hydropower projects, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 1 includes a base 2, two sets of first support plates 3 and second support plates 4. Both sets of first support plates 3 and second support plates 4 are rotatably mounted on the base 2. The two first support plates 3 are parallel to each other, and the two second support plates 4 are parallel to each other. The first support plates 3 and second support plates 4 are perpendicular to each other and spaced apart. Two sets of first rotating grooves 10 and second rotating grooves 11 are respectively formed vertically downwards on the upper surface of the base 2. The first support plates 3 rotate within the first rotating grooves 10, and the second support plates 4 rotate within the second rotating grooves 11. A rotating assembly 5 is provided on the base 2 to drive the first support plates 3 and second support plates 4 to rotate. Each of the first support plates 3 and second support plates 4 is provided with a connecting mechanism 6 for connecting gabion cages. The gabion cages are disposed inside the support frame 1. Rubber pads 25 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 facing the inside of the support frame 1. In the filling material, the rubber pads 25 can reduce the impact of the stone on the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4, reduce the damage to the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4, and improve the service life of the support.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, each side wall of the support frame 1 is provided with three sets of connecting mechanisms 6, which are located at the top, middle, and bottom of the side wall of the first support plate 3 or the second support plate 4, respectively. Each connecting mechanism 6 includes a connecting plate 12 and multiple connecting rods 13. The connecting plate 12 is rectangular, and the connecting rods 13 are cylindrical with their axes arranged horizontally. The connecting rods 13 are vertically and fixedly welded to the side wall of the connecting plate 12, and are evenly distributed on the side wall of the connecting plate 12. Multiple through holes 15 are provided on the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 for the multiple connecting rods 13 to pass through. A spring 16 is fitted onto the connecting rod 13, arranged horizontally. Both ends of the spring 16 are fixedly welded to the opposite side wall of the first support plate 3 or the second support plate 4 and the connecting plate 12, respectively. A connecting component 17 for connecting to the gabion cage is provided at the end of the connecting rod 13 away from the connecting plate 12. Multiple limiting components 18 for limiting the multiple connecting plates 12 are provided on the side wall of the support frame 1. The connecting assembly 17 includes two hook plates 19. The connecting rod 13, at its end furthest from the connecting plate 12, is symmetrically provided with hinge slots 20. The two hook plates 19 rotate within the two hinge slots 20. A hinge rod 21 is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the hinge slot 20. The hook plates 19 rotate around the hinge rod 21 and can be hung and abutted against the gabion cage. Torsion springs 22 are provided at both ends of the hinge rod 21, and the two ends of the torsion springs 22 are fixedly welded to the inner wall of the hinge slot 20 and the side wall of the hook plate 19, respectively. Three sets of limiting assemblies 18 are provided on each side wall. Each limiting assembly 18 includes a fixing rod 23 and a stop plate 24. The fixing rod 23 is vertically fixedly welded to the side wall of the first support plate 3 or the second support plate 4. The stop plate 24 is rotatably sleeved on the fixing rod 23 with an interference fit. The stop plate 24 abuts against the connecting plate 12, maintaining the state of the compressed spring 16, thereby reducing the hook plate 19's return to the through hole 15 under the drive of the spring 16.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating assembly 5 includes a motor 7, two sets of first rotating rods 8 and second rotating rods 9. The two first rotating rods 8 are rotatably disposed in the two first rotating slots 10, and the two second rotating rods 9 are rotatably disposed in the second rotating slots 11. The two ends of the first rotating rods 8 rotate on the opposite inner walls of the first rotating slots 10, and the two ends of the second rotating rods 9 rotate on the inner walls of the second rotating slots 11. The two first support plates 3 are fixedly sleeved on the two first rotating rods 8, and the two second support plates 4 are fixedly sleeved on the two second rotating rods 9. The motor 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the base 2 and fixedly welded to one of the first rotating rods 8. The base 2 has multiple placement slots, through which the first rotating rods 8 and the second rotating rods 9 pass and rotate. Except for the end of the first rotating rod 8 connected to the motor 7, the remaining first rotating rods 8 and the second rotating rods 9 are connected to each other, and adjacent first rotating rods 8 and the second rotating rods 9 are connected by a bevel gear set 14.

[0034] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: The worker places the gabion cage on the support frame 1. The worker pushes the connecting plate 12 to compress the spring 16, causing the connecting plate 12 to move. This movement pushes the connecting rod 13 towards the inside of the support frame 1. As the connecting rod 13 moves, it causes the hook plate 19 on it to move out of the through hole 15. The hook plate 19 first extends out of the through hole 15 and then inserts into the gabion cage. After the hook plate 19 has completely passed through the through hole 15, it is driven by the torsion spring 22 to become perpendicular to the connecting rod 13, thus expanding the hook plate 19 within the gabion cage. When the hook is attached to the gabion cage, the worker rotates the abutment plate 24 so that the abutment plate 24 abuts against the side wall of the connecting plate 12. Then the connecting plate 12 is released. Under the pushing force of the connecting plate 12 and the friction between it and the fixing rod 23, the abutment plate 24 remains stationary, thereby restricting the position of the connecting plate 12. This allows the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 to open the gabion cage to facilitate the filling of stones, reducing the possibility of the hook plate 19 detaching from the gabion cage during the subsequent filling process or even the collapse during the filling process, thus reducing the difficulty of filling.

[0035] After the stones are filled, the workers rotate the abutment plate 24 away from the connecting plate 12. At this time, the connecting plate 12, driven by the spring 16, moves the connecting rod 13 and the hook plate 19 on it into the perforation 15. The inner wall of the perforation 15 abuts against the hook plate 19 and makes the hook plate 19 overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 22 and rotate to be parallel to the connecting rod 13 before entering the perforation 15. The elastic force of the spring 16 is greater than the elastic force of the torsion spring 22, and the elastic force of the torsion spring 22 is greater than the pulling force of the gabion on the hook plate 19. Subsequently, the staff started the motor 7, which drove the first rotating rod 8 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating rod 8, through the bevel gear set 14, drove the second rotating rod 9 to rotate, and so on. Both sets of first rotating rods 8 and second rotating rods 9 rotated synchronously, thereby driving the two sets of first support plates 3 and second support plates 4 to rotate synchronously away from the gabion cage, thus exposing the gabion cage filled with stones on its inner wall. This makes it easier for the staff to use cranes or other tools to move the gabion cage from the base 2 to a suitable position. Setting the support frame 1 on the outside of the gabion cage makes it easy to separate the support frame 1 from the gabion cage, avoiding the difficulty of movement due to the pressure of the stones during separation or the serious slippage during movement, thereby improving the service life of the support frame 1.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
