Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bridge pier top enclosure panels, and in particular to a novel structure for the top enclosure panels of high-speed railway bridge piers. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of high-speed railway bridges, the design and application of pier-top railing structures are crucial. In practical applications, high-speed railway bridge pier-top railing structures typically require the following technologies:
[0003] 1. Fence structures, such as high-strength steel wire mesh and aluminum alloy fences, serve a protective function to prevent workers from falling;
[0004] 2. Supporting structures, such as steel beams and columns, provide stable support for the fence and ensure its stability;
[0005] 3. Connecting structures, such as high-strength bolts and welded joints, ensure a reliable connection between the fence and the top of the pier.
[0006] The existing high-speed railway bridge pier top fence structure usually involves first installing the support structure, then fixing the fence structure to the support structure, and finally securing it through the connecting structure.
[0007] However, during the implementation of the above technical solutions, at least the following technical problems were found: the installation process is relatively complicated and the operation is cumbersome. In addition, traditional fence structures may be damaged when facing severe weather such as strong winds and heavy rain, requiring complete dismantling and replacement for maintenance, resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel structure for the top enclosure of high-speed railway bridge piers, solving the problems of complex installation processes, cumbersome operations, and the fact that traditional fence structures may be damaged in the face of severe weather such as strong winds and heavy rain, requiring complete dismantling and replacement for maintenance, resulting in high maintenance costs.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0010] A novel high-speed railway bridge pier top enclosure structure includes a pier, with first bolts evenly installed on the pier, and support plates evenly installed on the pier. Arc-shaped support plates for supporting the support plates are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the support plates. Guardrails for preventing falls from heights are installed on the support plates, and side rails are fixedly installed on the side ends of the support plates. A first nut is threaded onto the first bolt, and a second bolt is installed between the two support plates. A second nut is threaded onto the second bolt.
[0011] Preferably, drainage nets for drainage are symmetrically installed on the tray; drainage grooves are opened on the tray, and the drainage nets are installed on the drainage grooves.
[0012] Preferably, a loading cylinder is fixedly installed on the pallet.
[0013] Preferably, an infrared distance sensor for measuring height is fixedly installed inside the loading cylinder.
[0014] Preferably, a battery for storing electrical energy is fixedly installed inside the loading cylinder.
[0015] Preferably, a control box is fixedly installed inside the loading cylinder; the control box contains an STM32 microcontroller and a DC voltage regulator module; the control box is connected to an infrared distance sensor and a battery via wires.
[0016] Preferably, the loading cylinder is threaded with an end cap.
[0017] Preferably, a photovoltaic panel is fixedly installed on the side rail; the photovoltaic panel is connected to the control box via wires.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. While pouring concrete for the bridge pier, the first bolt is pre-embedded in the installation position. After the bridge pier solidifies, the first bolt will be firmly installed on the bridge pier. Then, multiple pallets are hoisted to the installation position, and the pallets are installed on the bridge pier using the first nut. After the first nut is tightened, the pallets will be firmly fixed on the bridge pier. After all the pallets are installed, the second bolt is passed through the two adjacent pallets, and then the second nut is tightened to fix them. When continuing to work on the top of the bridge pier, the guardrail is inserted into the pallet to surround the top of the bridge pier and prevent workers from falling. The modular design not only facilitates assembly, but also allows for individual disassembly of the modules, thereby improving installation efficiency and facilitating subsequent maintenance.
[0020] Second, during operation, the infrared distance sensor continuously measures the height above the ground and sends the measurement data to the computer control system via the control box. Multiple infrared distance sensors monitor the height around the bridge piers. When a bridge pier tilts or sinks, the computer control center can provide timely feedback based on changes in the monitoring data. During operation, the photovoltaic panel converts light energy into electrical energy and stores it inside the battery, avoiding the need for additional power to the infrared distance sensor during operation, thus improving the safety of high-speed rail operation.

[0028] This application provides a novel structure for the top enclosure of a high-speed railway bridge pier, effectively solving the problems of complex installation processes, cumbersome operations, and the high maintenance costs associated with traditional enclosure structures which are susceptible to damage from strong winds and heavy rains, requiring complete removal and replacement for maintenance. The new structure pre-embeds the first bolt at the installation position during the pier pouring process. Once the pier solidifies, the first bolt is securely installed. Multiple support plates are then hoisted to the installation position and installed onto the pier using first nuts. Tightening the first nuts securely fixes the support plates to the pier. After all support plates are installed, second bolts are passed through adjacent support plates and tightened with second nuts for further fixation. The process then continues with the installation of the top enclosure of the pier. During operation, the guardrail is inserted into the support plate to enclose the top of the pier, preventing workers from falling. The modular design facilitates assembly and allows for individual disassembly of modules, improving installation efficiency and simplifying maintenance. In operation, infrared distance sensors continuously measure the height above the ground, transmitting the data from the control box to the computer control system. Multiple infrared distance sensors monitor the height around the pier, and the computer control center can promptly respond to changes in monitoring data if the pier tilts or sinks. Furthermore, photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into electricity, storing it in the battery, eliminating the need for additional power to the infrared distance sensors and enhancing the safety of high-speed rail operations.
