Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge ancillary engineering construction technology, and more specifically to a concrete guardrail cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete railings typically utilize dummy joints to prevent irregular cracks from forming in the concrete due to temperature changes, shrinkage, and expansion. Dummy joints should generally be installed every 5-8 meters in cast-in-place concrete railings, with a width and depth of 2-3 millimeters.
[0003] In actual construction, workers typically use hand-held cutting machines to cut dummy joints after the guardrail formwork is removed. However, during concrete guardrail construction, the dummy joints are often not cut in time, leading to irregular cracks on the concrete guardrail surface, resulting in a decline in construction quality or rework. Furthermore, hand tremors during the cutting process often cause the cuts to be skewed, affecting the guardrail's aesthetics and resulting in poor appearance.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a concrete guardrail cutting device that can effectively guarantee the quality and aesthetics of guardrail cutting and improve the quality of guardrail construction is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a concrete guardrail cutting device. The positioning part hangs the device on the guardrail, and the cutting machine is positioned by the moving guide part. The moving guide part drives the cutting machine to move up and down along the guide rail of the positioning part to complete the dummy joint cutting, which effectively solves the problem of uneven cutting caused by the operator's hand shaking, which affects the aesthetics of the guardrail.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A concrete guardrail cutting device, comprising:
[0008] The positioning part includes two parallel and spaced guide rails. The axes of the two guide rails are parallel to the height direction of the concrete guardrail and their upper ends are bent to form hooks that can be attached to the concrete guardrail.
[0009] A movable guide unit includes a guide rod and a cutting guide frame located below the guide rod. The two ends of the guide rod are slidably connected to the opposite side walls of the two guide rails. The top end of the cutting guide frame is hinged to the guide rod and can slide up and down along the two guide rails with the guide rod.
[0010] A cutting machine, the head of which is engaged with the cutting guide to move up and down with it to cut dummy seams.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the guide rail, when attached to the concrete guardrail, can guide the path of the dummy seam cutting. The cutting machine is positioned by the cutting guide frame, and the cutting machine moves up and down by the movement of the guide rod, thereby realizing the cutting operation of the seam.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] See appendix Figures 1-3 This utility model discloses a concrete guardrail cutting device, comprising:
[0034] Positioning part 1 includes two parallel and spaced guide rails 11. The axes of the two guide rails 11 are parallel to the height direction of the concrete guardrail 5 and their upper ends are bent to form hooks that can be attached to the concrete guardrail 5.
[0035] The movable guide part 2 includes a guide rod 21 and a cutting guide frame 24 located below the guide rod 21. The two ends of the guide rod 21 are slidably connected to the opposite side walls of the two guide rails 11, and the top end of the cutting guide frame 24 is hinged to the guide rod 21 and can slide up and down along the two guide rails 11 with the guide rod 21.
[0036] The head of the cutting machine 3 is engaged with the cutting guide frame 24 to move up and down with it to cut dummy seams.
[0037] In this embodiment, the shape of the positioning part 1 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the concrete guardrail 5.
[0038] In actual use, two guide rails are attached to the concrete guardrail, and the cutting machine is fixed to the cutting guide frame. The worker holds the cutting machine and moves it up and down along the height of the guardrail. During this process, the worker pushes and pulls the cutting guide frame, which in turn drives the guide rod to slide up and down along the guide rails, thereby realizing the cutting operation on the top and inner sides of the guardrail. When encountering the chamfer position on the inner side of the guardrail, the cutting angle of the cutting machine can be adjusted by slightly rotating the cutting guide frame, thereby realizing the full-scale dummy joint cutting operation of the concrete guardrail.
[0039] In some other specific embodiments, the moving guide 2 also includes a connector 22; the guide rod 21 is a square rod, and the cutting guide frame 24 is a rectangular frame; one end of the connector 22 is fixed to the middle of the bottom surface of the square rod, and the other end is hinged to the top of the rectangular frame; the head of the cutting machine 3 is snapped into the frame of the rectangular frame.
[0040] The guide rod is hinged to the cutting guide frame via a connector. The connector increases the distance between the guide rod and the cutting guide frame, which facilitates the cutting operation of the cutting machine when encountering the chamfer of the guardrail. The guide rod will not affect the cutting operation due to being too close to the cutting machine.
[0041] In this embodiment, the guide rod is formed by interlocking and welding two angle steels, the connecting part is a steel plate, and the cutting guide frame is formed by welding angle steels into a rectangular frame.
[0042] In some other specific embodiments, the top of the cutting guide frame 24 is fixed with two parallel and spaced-apart pin ears, and the pin shaft 23 is fixed at the end of the connector 22 away from the guide rod 21. The two ends of the pin shaft 23 are respectively rotatably connected in the two pin ears. The pin shaft 23 realizes the hinge between the cutting guide frame 24 and the guide rod 21. The cutting guide frame 24 can be rotated by a certain angle through the pin shaft 23 to adjust the cutting angle of the cutting machine 3.
[0043] In some other embodiments, a snap-fit component 27 is also included, which is fixed to the side of the rectangular frame away from the concrete guardrail 5 to snap the head of the cutting machine 3; a positioning bolt 28 is screwed onto the snap-fit component 27 to adjust the distance between the cutting machine 3 and the concrete guardrail 5 and to fix their position; the saw blade plane of the cutting machine 3 is arranged perpendicular to the outer surface of the concrete guardrail 5.
[0044] As shown in the attached diagram, the snap-fit connector is formed by welding two perpendicularly arranged angle steels into an L-shape. One side panel of the vertically arranged angle steel is fixed to the frame of the rectangular frame, and the panel of the horizontally arranged angle steel extends along the side away from the concrete guardrail. There are two snap-fit connectors, which are symmetrically arranged vertically along the rectangular frame. The cutting head of the cutting machine is snapped between the two opposite side panels of the two horizontally arranged angle steels of the two snap-fit connectors, and a positioning bolt is screwed onto the upper angle steel. When performing the cutting operation, a trial cut is first made using the cutting machine. After the depth and width of the dummy cut meet the requirements, the positioning bolt is screwed on so that its threaded end abuts against the head of the cutting machine to fix the position of the cutting machine.
[0045] In other specific embodiments, to better achieve synchronous up-and-down movement between the guide rod and the cutting guide frame, both ends of the guide rod 21 and the cutting guide frame 24 are rotatably connected to guide wheels 26, which are rolled on the guide rail 11.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the guide rail is made of angle steel, and the guide wheel is a groove-shaped guide wheel. The guide wheels at both ends of the guide rod are engaged with the horizontal panel of the guide rail, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the guide rod and the cutting guide frame.
[0047] To further optimize the above technical solution and facilitate the rotation of the cutting guide frame 24, wheel frames 25 are hinged to both sides of the frame of the cutting guide frame 24 facing the concrete guardrail 5. The wheel frames 25 are hinged to the cutting guide frame 24 in the form of ball joints. The wheel frames 25 are rotatably connected to the groove-shaped guide wheels 26. Through the hinge between the cutting guide frame 24 and the wheel frames 25, the rotation between the cutting guide frame 24 and the connecting parts 22 can be better realized.
[0048] To further optimize the above technical solution, the positioning part 1 also includes a limiting rod 12 and a connecting rod 13. The two ends of the limiting rod 12 are fixed to the two side walls opposite to the upper ends of the two guide rails 11, respectively; the two ends of the connecting rod 13 are fixed to the two side walls opposite to the lower ends of the two guide rails 11, respectively.
[0049] The two guide rails are connected by a limiting rod and a connecting rod. The limiting rod can limit the sliding displacement of the guide rod and prevent the guide rod from slipping off the guide rail.
[0050] In this embodiment, the bend of the guide rail at the chamfered position on the inner side of the concrete guardrail is processed into an arc transition section to facilitate the up and down movement of the guide rod and the cutting guide frame.
[0051] In other specific embodiments, to avoid rigid contact between the cutting device and the concrete guardrail and prevent damage to the guardrail concrete that would affect the appearance quality of the guardrail, positioning posts 14 are also included. Multiple positioning posts 14 are included, with one end vertically fixed to the side wall of the guide rail 11 facing the concrete guardrail 5, and the other end abutting against the outer surface of the concrete guardrail 5. The outer periphery of the positioning posts 14 is covered with rubber pads.
[0052] In some other embodiments, a reinforcing part 4 is also included, which includes horizontal bars 41 and vertical bars 42. One end of the multiple horizontal bars 41 is fixed to the side wall of the guide rail 11 away from the guide rod 21, and the vertical bars 42 are arranged parallel to the guide rail 11, with their side walls fixed to the other end of the horizontal bars 41. The reinforcing part provides the cutting device with a certain rigidity, increasing its number of uses.
[0053] In other specific embodiments, multiple cutting devices are provided along the length of the concrete guardrail, and a slide rail is fixed on the outer wall of the concrete guardrail. The bent section of the guide rail is slidably connected to the slide rail. By sliding the cutting device along the slide rail, the cutting device can sequentially cut the false joint along the length of the concrete guardrail, avoiding the drawbacks of transporting the cutting device.
[0054] This embodiment only shows the method of using the dummy joint cutting method on the inner side of the concrete guardrail. When cutting the outer side of the concrete guardrail, the cutting device is hung in the opposite direction and used in conjunction with the guardrail construction template trolley. The worker performs the dummy joint cutting operation in the basket of the trolley.
[0055] Example 2:

[0059] S2. Adjust the kerf depth. Adjust the depth of the cutting machine into the cutting guide frame and perform a trial cut. When the kerf depth and width meet the requirements, fix the position of the cutting machine.
[0060] After the cutting machine is attached to the cutting guide frame, a trial cutting operation is carried out. Once the cutting depth meets the requirements, the position of the cutting machine is fixed by the positioning bolts.
[0061] S3, dummy seam cutting: The guide rod and cutting guide frame move up and down along the height of the guardrail, and the cutting machine completes the dummy seam cutting operation during the movement.
[0062] During the cutting operation, the worker can provide upward or downward force through the cutting machine, thereby pushing or pulling the cutting guide frame to move up and down along the guide rail. At the same time, the guide rod will move up and down along the guide rail synchronously, thus completing the cutting operation of the entire false seam of the guardrail.
[0063] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments.
