[0002] Large-tonnage pot bearings for highways are key components used in highway bridges and large structures. They are primarily used to bear and transfer heavy loads while allowing the structure to undergo displacement and rotation under conditions such as temperature changes and earthquakes. Currently, large-tonnage pot bearings for highways are widely used in long-span highway bridges, expressway bridges, urban highway overpasses, and more.
[0003] In related technologies, although traditional large-tonnage pot bearings for highways can meet the basic requirements for bearing large tonnage loads, they still have at least the following shortcomings in actual use: When the large-tonnage pot bearing is installed as a whole between the pier and the highway bridge, the overall height of the large-tonnage pot bearing cannot be adjusted. Since the gap between the pier and the highway bridge is not exactly the same at different locations, different models and specifications of large-tonnage pot bearings for highways need to be used, which limits the scope of application and results in poor performance. Although some methods use on-site padding blocks, this method not only consumes a lot of manpower and resources, but also makes it difficult to ensure the consistency and stability of the height during the adjustment process. It cannot quickly meet the precise requirements for the bearing height in different construction scenarios, which seriously affects the construction progress and quality.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a large-tonnage pot bearing for highways to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] See Figures 1-10 This application provides a large-tonnage pot bearing for highways, including a pot bearing body 1 and a height adjustment mechanism 2, wherein:
[0029] The main body 1 of the pot bearing includes a lower support plate 101, a bottom basin 102, a lower rubber plate 103, a middle steel plate 104, an upper rubber plate 105, an upper support plate 106, a stainless steel plate 107, and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) plate 108. The bottom basin 102 is fixedly installed on the top of the lower support plate 101. The lower rubber plate 103 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the bottom of the bottom basin 102. The middle steel plate 104 is located on top of the lower rubber plate 103. The upper rubber plate 105 is located on top of the middle steel plate 104, and the top of the upper rubber plate 105 extends to the outside of the bottom basin 102. The PTFE plate 108 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper rubber plate 105. The upper support plate 106 is located above the upper rubber plate 105, and the stainless steel plate 107 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the upper support plate 106. The PTFE plate 108 and stainless steel plate 107 slide in contact. The lower rubber plate 103 and upper rubber plate 105 improve the overall seismic performance of the pot bearing, effectively absorbing and reducing vibrations and shocks, protecting the highway bridge structure from the effects of external forces such as earthquakes and wind. Through the low-friction sliding between the PTFE plate 108 and stainless steel plate 107, a relatively large horizontal displacement can be achieved, adapting to the expansion and contraction deformation of the highway bridge caused by factors such as temperature changes and concrete creep, and improving the load-bearing strength of the highway bridge. The pot bearing body 1 also includes a lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109, an upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110, and a sealing ring 111. The top of the lower rubber plate 103 has a lower groove, and the lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109 is fixedly installed in the lower groove. Inside, the upper surface of the lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109 rotates in contact with the lower surface of the middle steel plate 104. An upper groove is provided at the bottom of the upper rubber plate 105, and the upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110 is fixedly installed in the upper groove. The lower surface of the upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110 rotates in contact with the upper surface of the middle steel plate 104. The lower surface of the middle steel plate 104 has a downwardly convex arc-shaped surface structure, while the upper surface of the lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109 has a centrally concave arc-shaped surface structure. The lower surface of the middle steel plate 104 fits against the upper surface of the lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109. The upper surface of the middle steel plate 104 has an upwardly convex arc-shaped surface structure, while the lower surface of the upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110 has a centrally concave arc-shaped surface structure. The upper surface of the middle steel plate 104 and the lower surface of the upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110... With the surfaces of the lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109 in rotatable contact with the lower surface of the middle steel plate 104, and the upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110 in rotatable contact with the upper surface of the middle steel plate 104, and the special structure of the upper and lower surfaces of the middle steel plate 104 in contact with the corresponding arc-shaped wear-resistant plates, the pot bearing can rotate flexibly when bearing loads. This effectively adapts to the rotational deformation requirements of highway bridges under various stress conditions, ensuring the rationality of the stress distribution of the highway bridge structure and further improving the load-bearing strength of the highway bridge. The sealing ring 111 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom pot 102. The inner ring of the sealing ring 111 rotates and seals with the outer wall of the upper rubber plate 105. The sealing ring 111 effectively prevents dust, rainwater, and other impurities from entering the interior of the bottom pot 102, reducing wear on internal components.To extend the overall service life of the pot bearing, the lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109 and the upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110 are installed. This effectively prevents wear caused by contact between the middle steel plate 104 and the lower rubber plate 103 and upper rubber plate 105, thereby improving the overall service life of the pot bearing.
[0030] In this embodiment, bolt holes are provided at the four corners of the lower support plate 101 and the four corners of the upper support plate 106, so as to facilitate the use of bolts to firmly connect the lower support plate 101 and the upper support plate 106 to the bridge structure and the pier structure respectively, thereby improving installation efficiency and stability.
[0031] In this embodiment, the height adjustment mechanism 2 is located at the bottom of the pot bearing body 1. The height adjustment mechanism 2 is used to adjust the height position of the pot bearing body 1. The height adjustment mechanism 2 includes a connecting seat 201, a bearing base plate 203, a fixing ring 204, multiple lead screws 205, multiple handles 206, multiple shaft seats 207, and multiple triangular support blocks 208. The connecting seat 201 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower support plate 101. The bottom of the connecting seat 201 has multiple triangular grooves 202 that are evenly spaced and distributed in a ring. The bearing base plate 203 is located below the connecting seat 201. The fixing ring 204 is fixedly installed at the top of the bearing base plate 203. The bottom of the connecting seat 201 extends into the fixing ring 204. The multiple lead screws 205 are all threaded through the fixing ring 204 and are evenly spaced and distributed in a ring. The multiple handles 206 are respectively fixedly installed on the corresponding lead screws. 205 is located at one end outside the fixed ring 204. Multiple bearing seats 207 are rotatably installed at the corresponding ends of the lead screw 205 located inside the fixed ring 204. Multiple triangular support blocks 208 are fixedly installed on the side of the corresponding bearing seat 207 away from the lead screw 205. The tops of the multiple triangular support blocks 208 are slidably installed in the corresponding triangular grooves 202. The operator can rotate the handle 206 to drive the lead screw 205 to rotate, which will drive the triangular support blocks 208 to slide in the triangular grooves 202 through the bearing seats 207. This allows for convenient adjustment of the height position of the connecting seat 201, which in turn drives the height position of the pot bearing body 1 to be adjusted. This achieves the adjustment of the overall height of the large-tonnage pot bearing for highways, meeting the overall height requirements of the large-tonnage pot bearing for highways under different construction scenarios, and improving the applicability and performance.
[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the triangular support block 208 slides in contact with the top surface of the bearing base plate 203. When adjusting the position of the triangular support block 208, it can ensure that the triangular support block 208 moves smoothly. Guide crossbars 209 are fixedly installed on the side of the multiple triangular support blocks 208 away from the connecting seat 201. Multiple guide holes are provided on the side wall of the fixing ring 204 in a ring with equal spacing. One end of the multiple guide crossbars 209 slides through the corresponding guide holes, which plays a guiding role in the process of adjusting the support height, ensuring that the triangular support block 208 slides smoothly, thereby making the entire support height adjustment process stable and reliable.
[0033] With the above structure, the large-tonnage pot bearing for highways provided in this application is installed by placing the entire pot bearing between the bridge pier and the highway bridge. Depending on the gap between the bridge pier and the highway bridge, the operator rotates multiple handles 206 in the height adjustment mechanism 2. The handles 206 are fixedly connected to the lead screw 205. Therefore, the rotation of the handles 206 drives the lead screw 205 to rotate synchronously. Since the thread of the lead screw 205 passes through the fixing ring 204, when the lead screw 205 rotates, according to the thread transmission principle and under the guidance of the guide crossbar 209, the lead screw 205 pushes the triangular support block 208 to move linearly through the bearing seat 207, causing the triangular support block 208 to move linearly within the connecting seat 2. The connecting seat 201 slides within the triangular groove 202 at the bottom of the 01, thereby changing the relative distance between the connecting seat 201 and the bearing base plate 203. The connecting seat 201 gradually rises, causing the connecting seat 201 to drive the pot bearing body 1 to rise. When the upper bearing plate 106 in the pot bearing body 1 rises to a position that tightly contacts the bottom of the highway bridge where support is needed, the height adjustment requirement is met. Then, subsequent bolt fixing and pouring processes are carried out to securely fix the pot bearing between the pier and the highway bridge for use. This achieves convenient adjustment of the overall height of the pot bearing, meets the requirements of the overall height of the pot bearing in different construction scenarios, and improves the applicability and effectiveness.
[0034] During use, when the highway bridge is under load, the load is transferred to the PTFE plate 108 and the upper rubber plate 105 through the upper bearing plate 106, and then to the lower rubber plate 103 and the lower bearing plate 101 through the intermediate steel plate 104. The arrangement of the lower rubber plate 103 and the upper rubber plate 105 improves the overall seismic performance of the pot bearing, effectively absorbing and reducing vibrations and shocks, protecting the highway bridge structure from the effects of external forces such as earthquakes and wind. Through the low-friction sliding between the PTFE plate 108 and the stainless steel plate 107, relatively large horizontal displacement can be achieved, adapting to the expansion and contraction deformation of the highway bridge caused by factors such as temperature changes and concrete creep, improving the load-bearing strength of the highway bridge. Furthermore, due to the upper surface of the intermediate steel plate 104... The middle steel plate 104 has an upwardly convex arc-shaped surface structure that fits against the lower surface of the upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110, and the two are in rotational contact. The lower surface of the middle steel plate 104 has a downwardly convex arc-shaped surface structure that fits against the upper surface of the lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109, and the two are in rotational contact. Under the action of rotational loads on highway bridges, this special arc-shaped surface fitting and rotational contact design allows the middle steel plate 104 to rotate flexibly relative to the upper arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 110 and the lower arc-shaped wear-resistant plate 109. This allows the pot bearing as a whole to rotate flexibly when bearing loads, effectively adapting to the rotational deformation requirements of highway bridges under various stress conditions, ensuring the rationality of the stress on the highway bridge structure, further improving the load-bearing strength of the highway bridge, and extending the overall service life of the pot bearing.
