Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to bridge engineering construction technology, particularly to the hydraulic synchronous lifting, assembly and closure process for large-span steel box arch bridges, aiming to improve construction efficiency and safety. Background Technology

[0002] In modern bridge engineering, especially in the construction of long-span bridges, the efficient and safe assembly and lifting of arch ribs has become a crucial factor affecting construction efficiency and safety. Due to their complex structures and high construction difficulty, long-span bridges typically require advanced construction technologies and equipment to meet design requirements and construction standards. Currently, widely used bridge construction technologies mainly include suspension methods, incremental launching methods, assembly methods, and hydraulic lifting technology. However, each of these methods has certain limitations:

[0003] (1) Traditional suspension methods require a large number of temporary support systems to ensure the stability and safety of the structure during construction. This not only increases the complexity and cost of construction, but also requires a high degree of spatial flexibility in the layout of the construction site, limiting its application in densely populated urban areas. Therefore, suspension methods are not always the optimal choice for the construction of long-span bridges.

[0004] (2) The incremental launching method is widely used in long-span bridges, but due to its extremely high requirements for construction precision, structural deformation or tilting are prone to occur during construction. Once a problem occurs, it often leads to construction delays and additional costs. In addition, the incremental launching method has relatively strict requirements on the construction environment of bridges and is difficult to adapt to complex terrain changes.

[0005] (3) As a common bridge construction method, the assembly method has improved construction efficiency to a certain extent. However, in practical applications, the accuracy of the connection during the assembly process has always been a problem. Especially in long-span bridges, the assembly and connection of the arch ribs require extremely high precision. Any slight error may affect the stability and safety of the structure, which brings considerable challenges to the construction.

[0006] (4) Hydraulic lifting technology is gradually being applied in bridge construction, providing powerful lifting capacity and precise control. However, its application in actual engineering still faces some challenges. Existing hydraulic systems often require complex devices, which increases the complexity and cost of construction. Moreover, the stability and reliability of the hydraulic system directly affect the safety of lifting operations; hydraulic failures may lead to serious construction accidents.

[0007] (5) In the design of sling systems, although various sling structures and connection methods have been proposed, how to effectively maintain the balance of the slings and ensure the uniform distribution of the load in actual construction remains a technical challenge. Existing sling systems often lack the necessary balance design during the lifting process, which may lead to unbalanced loads on the structure during construction, thereby affecting the safety and stability of the overall construction.

[0008] In conclusion, while current bridge construction technologies meet the requirements for long-span bridges to a certain extent, there are still many shortcomings in terms of construction efficiency, safety, and economy. Therefore, in-depth research and innovation in the construction technology of long-span bridges, especially combining hydraulic lifting technology, cable system optimization, and arch rib structure design, will provide new ideas and solutions for the future development of bridge engineering. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a hydraulic synchronous lifting and closure construction structure for the mid-span low-position assembly of the ultra-high steel box girder main arch with a large span-to-span ratio.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned application objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: The hydraulic synchronous lifting and closure construction structure for the mid-span low-position assembly of the large span-to-span ratio ultra-high steel box main arch includes an arch rib structure, a support system, a lifting system, a suspension cable system, and a closure system;

[0011] The arch rib structure includes the arch foot rib and the middle section arch rib;

[0012] The support system is arranged on the top surface of the installed steel box girder, including arch foot assembly support and intermediate assembly support; the arch foot assembly support is used to support the arch foot ribs, and the arch foot assembly supports are connected as one unit by arch foot cross braces; the intermediate assembly support is used to support the middle section arch ribs during the assembly process.

[0013] The lifting system has at least two parts. The lifting system includes a lifting support, which has a lifting support base. The lower part of the lifting support base is connected to a bottom steel pipe pile. The top of the bottom steel pipe pile has a distribution beam and a support plate. The lower part of the bottom steel pipe pile is anchored by a pile cap. The lifting support has a built-in lifting anchor box. The top of the lifting support has a top plate. Lifting jacks are installed on the top plate. The lifting jacks drive the lifting anchor box to slide up and down through lifting cables.

[0014] The sling system has at least two parts. The sling system includes a balance beam, which is installed on the lifting anchor box of the lifting support. The upper part of the balance beam has a balance sling and a balance main cable. The middle part of the balance main cable is connected to the lifting cable. The lower part of the balance beam has a connecting sling. The lower end of the connecting sling is connected to the end of the middle arch rib. The connecting sling transfers the load of the middle arch rib to the balance beam, and the balance beam transfers the load to the lifting anchor box.

[0015] The closure system is installed on the inner end of the arch foot assembly support, including a temporary closure frame. The temporary closure frame has a temporary bottom support. The bottom of the temporary closure frame is movably installed on the arch foot assembly support by a temporary fixing rod, and the top of the temporary closure frame is hinged to the arch foot assembly support by a hinge shaft.

[0016] Furthermore, the intermediate assembly supports are connected as a whole by arched cross braces.

[0017] Furthermore, the balancing main cable is umbrella-shaped.

[0018] Furthermore, the connecting slings include a first sling and a second sling.

[0021] 2) The application of hydraulic lifting technology not only speeds up the construction progress, but also effectively reduces the errors caused by manual operation and improves the overall construction accuracy.

[0022] 3) Multiple safety measures have been incorporated, including the secure installation of the anchor box, the setting of the balancing slings, and the design of the temporary closure frame. These designs can effectively distribute the load, ensure the stability of the structure during construction, and reduce the risk of construction accidents caused by unexpected situations.

[0023] 4) In complex terrain or urban environments, traditional construction methods are often limited, while this system can adapt to various construction environments through low-level assembly. The flexible arrangement of the support system allows the construction to be adjusted according to site conditions, ensuring the smooth progress of construction.

[0024] 5) The combination of lifting support and sling system can largely meet the construction needs of different bridge structures and broaden its application scope.

[0025] 6) The temporary closure frame enhances the controllability during the closure process, ensuring accurate docking and connection of each component. This high degree of controllability provides a good foundation for subsequent closure operations. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Please see Figure 1-9 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a hydraulic synchronous lifting and closure structure for the mid-span low-position assembly of the large span-to-span ratio ultra-high steel box main arch, including an arch rib structure, a support system, a lifting system, a suspension cable system, and a closure system.

[0042] The arch rib structure includes the arch foot rib 3 and the middle section arch rib 4.

[0043] The support system is arranged on the top surface of the installed steel box girder 1, including arch foot assembly support 5 and intermediate assembly support 8; the arch foot assembly support 5 is used to support the arch foot rib 3, and the arch foot assembly supports 5 are connected into one unit by arch foot cross bracing 2; the intermediate assembly support 8 is used to support the middle section arch rib 4 during the assembly process, and the intermediate assembly supports 8 are connected into one unit by arch frame cross bracing 6.

[0044] The lifting system has at least two parts. The lifting system includes a lifting support 14, which has a lifting support base 15. The lower part of the lifting support base 15 is connected to a bottom steel pipe pile 11. The top of the bottom steel pipe pile 11 has a distribution beam 12 and a support plate 13. The lower part of the bottom steel pipe pile 11 is anchored by a pile cap 10. The lifting support 14 has a built-in lifting anchor box 16. The top of the lifting support 14 has a top plate 22. A lifting jack 23 is installed on the top plate 22. The lifting jack 23 drives the lifting anchor box 16 to slide up and down through the lifting cable 17.

[0045] The sling system has at least two components, including a balance beam 20, which is mounted on the lifting anchor box 16 of the lifting support 14. The upper part of the balance beam 20 has a balance sling 21 and a balance main cable 19. The balance main cable 19 is umbrella-shaped and its middle part is connected to the lifting cable 17. The lower part of the balance beam 20 has a connecting sling 18, which includes a first sling 29 and a second sling 30. The lower end of the connecting sling 18 is connected to the end of the middle arch rib 4. The connecting sling 18 transfers the load of the middle arch rib 4 to the balance beam 20, and the balance beam 20 transfers the load to the lifting anchor box 16. At the same time, since both ends of the balance beam 20 extend out of the lifting support 14, the function of the balance main cable 19 and the balance sling 21 is to ensure the balance and stability of the balance beam 20.

[0046] The closure system is installed on the inner end of the arch foot assembly bracket 5, including a temporary closure frame 27. The temporary closure frame 27 has a temporary bottom support 24. The bottom of the temporary closure frame 27 is movably installed on the arch foot assembly bracket 5 by a temporary fixing rod 31. The top of the temporary closure frame 27 is hinged to the arch foot assembly bracket 5 by a hinge shaft 25.

[0047] During the arch rib assembly stage, the arch foot assembly bracket 5 is used to support the arch foot arch rib 3, and the intermediate assembly bracket 8 is used to support the middle section arch rib 4 during the assembly process. The intermediate assembly bracket 8 is limited by the foot support 7, and the two ends of the middle section arch rib 4 are connected by the tie steel strand 9, and the lifting system is installed simultaneously.

[0048] After the arch ribs are assembled, the lifting system and the sling system are connected to both ends of the middle arch rib 4.

[0049] During the lifting phase of the middle arch rib 4, the lifting of the sling system, lifting anchor box 16, lifting cable 17, and middle arch rib 4 is carried out relatively synchronously.

[0050] When the middle arch rib 4 is lifted into place and the middle arch rib 4 and the arch foot rib 3 are joined together, the temporary fixing rod 31 is removed. One end of the temporary closure frame 27 is hinged to the arch foot assembly bracket 5 by the hinge shaft 25, and the other end is connected by the extended first section sling 29, the second section sling 30 and the anchor bolt 28. An adjustable pad 26 is installed on the top of the temporary closure frame 27. The adjustable pad 26 directly supports the middle arch rib 4 and the arch foot rib 3. Based on the above structure, the temporary closure frame 27 connects and fixes the middle arch rib 4 and the arch foot rib 3. Under its fixation, the closure operation of the middle arch rib 4 and the arch foot rib 3 is then carried out.
