Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to bridge engineering technical field, concretely relates to a kind of displacement spherical support of small curvature bridge. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nowadays, there are more and more curved bridges with various curved beams, especially railway curved bridges with a curve radius less than 600 meters. As the span increases, the curved beam will rotate significantly in the plane, which will drive the upper support plate to rotate. If the conventional spherical support is used, the lateral guide surface of the upper support plate stopper of the longitudinal movable support is a plane sliding surface. The support displacement can only move along the tangent direction of the curve, i.e., linear motion, which cannot adapt to the rotation of the beam part. Therefore, it will cause the sharp corner local contact phenomenon between the lateral guide block and the upper support plate stopper end during movement, which will bring stress concentration to the component and affect the service life of the support.

[0003] For heavy-load railways, highway bridges with heavy beam weight or large span, and curved bridges with difficult top beam replacement support operation, higher requirements are put forward for the durability of bridge supports. Therefore, designing a horizontal stopper sliding surface that is a curved surface or a horizontal stopper that can move along the tangent direction of the curve at any time can solve the problem of inconsistent movement direction between the support and the bridge during bridge temperature displacement.

[0004] Currently, there is little research on small curvature radius bridge supports. Patent CN 113389136 A discloses a "one-way sliding and plane-rotating bridge support device". Its structure is to set a curved surface and a matching plane sliding surface on the horizontal stopper of the conventional spherical steel support, which can adapt to the curved motion of the bridge. However, the curved surface radius needs to be designed in combination with the bridge curve radius, which has poor adaptability. There is also stress concentration at the curved surface and plane matching position. Moreover, its curve is a single-direction curve, which is not easy to find inside the support. If the installation direction of the support is wrong, it cannot adapt to the curved motion of the bridge, but will resist the motion and increase the stress on the bridge, which has poor fault tolerance.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a spherical support with various curve directions, good fault tolerance, and balanced stress on the bridge and support. SUMMARY
