Technical Field

[0002] As my country's railway and highway networks have gradually taken shape, the number of bridge construction projects crossing existing lines is also increasing. Ensuring the safety and reliability of such bridge construction without affecting highway and railway operations is a key research focus. Among the construction methods for bridges crossing existing lines, the rotation method requires fewer machines and equipment, has a simpler process, and is safer to operate. It can effectively overcome the difficulties of constructing structures in high mountains, deep valleys, fast-flowing water, or long-span river channels. Its advantages are particularly evident in the construction of urban overpasses and railway overpasses in busy traffic areas.
[0003] The patent document with publication number CN218540443U discloses a bridge rotation construction device based on a pinion synchronous traction system. The device is based on the ball joint of bridge rotation construction, and the traction cable at the outer edge of the turntable is designed as a gear-shaped slide. The turntable is synchronously pulled around by a pinion system with rated power. The pinion synchronous traction system includes several pinions, which are driven to rotate synchronously by a small engine at their bottom and can mesh with the gear-shaped traction cable. By driving the rotation of the pinions, the turntable is rotated in the target direction, thereby realizing the rotation of the bridge.

The embodiments of this utility model will now be described based on its overall structure.
[0035] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a bridge rotation construction device based on a jack traction system, including a lower bearing platform 1, a ball joint 2, and a jack mechanism 3. The ball joint 2 includes a lower ball joint 21, an upper ball joint 22, and an external toothed ring 23. The lower ball joint 21 is located on the upper surface of the lower bearing platform 1, and the upper ball joint 22 shares a common rotational axis with the lower ball joint 21. The external toothed ring 23 is located around the periphery of the upper ball joint 22 and rotates synchronously with it. The jack mechanism 3 includes a jack 31 and a rotatable pawl 32. Multiple jacks 31 are arranged in a circumferential array on the outside of the ball joint 2. A pawl 32 is positioned on the piston end of the jack 31 and is adapted to the tooth groove 231 of the external gear ring 23. When the piston end of the jack 31 is in its initial position, the pawl 32 rotates into the tooth groove 231 of the external gear ring 23. When the piston end of the jack 31 extends, the pawl 32 drives the external gear ring 23 to rotate unidirectionally. During the retraction of the piston end of the jack 31, the pawl 32 can rotate out of the tooth groove 231 of the external gear ring 23. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the jack mechanism 3 is used as the power source for bridge rotation construction. Utilizing the large thrust advantage of the jack 31, the pawl 32 and the external gear ring 23 work together to drive the upper ball joint 22 to rotate unidirectionally, making it suitable for large-scale bridge rotation construction scenarios.
[0036] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the ratchet 32 includes a support block 321, a helical tooth block 322, and a return spring 323. One end of the support block 321 is connected to the piston end of the jack 31, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the helical tooth block 322. The other end of the helical tooth block 322 is adapted to the tooth groove 231 of the outer tooth ring 23. One end of the return spring 323 is connected to the support block 321, and the other end is connected to the helical tooth block 322. The return spring 323 is used to provide a mutual abutting and meshing force to the support block 321 and the helical tooth block 322. Specifically, the support block 321 and the helical tooth block 322 are rotatably connected on the side away from the outer tooth ring 23, and a baffle is provided on the outer side of the rotatable connection to limit the maximum rotation angle of the helical tooth block 322. The return spring 323 is located on the side close to the outer tooth ring 23, and can make the support block 321 and the helical tooth block 322 rotate to a mutually meshing state without the action of other external forces.
[0037] Continue to refer to Figure 2In one embodiment, the tooth groove 231 of the outer toothed ring 23 is provided on the outer side, and the upper and lower surfaces of the outer toothed ring 23 are respectively provided with annular grooves 232. The pawl 32 also includes a hook 324. One end of the hook 324 is connected to the support block 321, and the other end extends into the annular groove 232 and slides in connection with the inner wall of the annular groove 232, so as to avoid large-scale displacement between the pawl 32 and the outer toothed ring 23 and help the pawl 32 to quickly reset. Furthermore, the jack mechanism 3 also includes a fixed base 33, a lateral support 34, and a vertical support 35. The jack 31 is horizontally arranged on the outside of the outer gear ring 23. The bottom end of the cylinder of the jack 31 is hinged to the fixed base 33. The lateral support 34 is fixed on the lower support 1 and elastically connected to the side of the cylinder of the jack 31. It is used to give the piston end of the jack 31 a rotational force in the direction close to the outer gear ring 23, so that the helical tooth block 322 and the tooth groove 231 can further mesh. The vertical support 35 is located below the cylinder of the jack 31, and its top end is slidably connected to the side of the cylinder of the jack 31, which can stably support the cylinder of the jack 31.
[0038] Understandably, before the bridge rotation construction begins, the piston end of the jack 31 is not extended, and the helical tooth block 322 is fully engaged with the tooth groove 231. When the bridge rotation construction begins, the piston end of the jack 31 is first extended to drive the upper ball joint 22 to rotate until the piston end of the jack 31 extends to the preset value and then stops. Then, the piston end of the lifting jack 31 is retracted. During the retraction process, the inner side of the helical tooth block 322 will abut against the edge of the outer tooth ring 23, causing the helical tooth block 322 to rotate outward. When the piston end of the jack 31 retracts to the initial position, under the pulling force of the return spring 323, the helical tooth block 322 will rotate into the tooth groove 231. When the piston end of the lifting jack 31 extends again, the helical tooth block 322 can return to the state of abutting and meshing with the support block 321. Repeating the extension and retraction of the piston end of the jack 31 can smoothly complete the bridge rotation construction.
[0039] like Figure 4 , 5As shown, in another embodiment, the tooth groove 231 of the external toothed ring 23 is located on the bottom surface, and the inner and outer sides of the external toothed ring 23 are respectively provided with annular grooves 232. The pawl 32 also includes a hook 324. One end of the hook 324 is connected to the support block 321, and the other end extends into the annular groove 232 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 232. The pawl 32 will not disengage from the external toothed ring 23, which helps the pawl 32 to quickly reset. Specifically, the jack mechanism 3 also includes a fixed seat 33, a universal joint 36, and a vertical support 35. The jack 31 is horizontally arranged below the external toothed ring 23. The fixed seat 33 is connected to the bottom end of the cylinder of the jack 31 through the universal joint 36, so that the extension direction of the piston end of the jack 31 can be finely adjusted. The vertical support 35 is located below the cylinder of the jack 31, and its top end is slidably connected to the side of the cylinder of the jack 31. Furthermore, the other end of the hook 324 is slidably disposed in the annular groove 232, and the vertical support 35 includes a lifting mechanism for adjusting the height of the vertical support 35, thereby adjusting the height of the piston end of the jack 31.
[0040] Understandably, before the bridge rotation construction begins, the piston end of jack 31 is not extended, the top of the vertical support 35 is not in contact with the side of the cylinder of jack 31, and the helical tooth block 322 is completely separated from the tooth groove 231. When the bridge rotation construction begins, first control the lifting mechanism to raise the height of the vertical support 35, which will drive the piston end of jack 31 to move upward until the helical tooth block 322 and the tooth groove 231 mesh with each other and then stop. Then control the piston end of jack 31 to extend, driving the upper ball joint 22 to rotate until the piston end of jack 31 extends a preset distance and then stop. Then control the lifting mechanism to lower back to the initial position, so that the helical tooth block 322 and the tooth groove 231 separate from each other. Finally, control the piston of jack 31 to retract to the initial position to complete the single-pass jacking operation. Repeating the above steps can successfully complete the bridge rotation construction.
[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment also includes a circular slide 4, support legs 5, and an upper support platform 6. The circular slide 4 and the ball joint 2 are arranged on the same rotational central axis and are located on the lower support platform 1 outside the ball joint 2. Multiple support legs 5 are arranged in a circumferential array above the circular slide 4 and their upper ends are connected to the upper support platform 6. The upper end of the upper ball joint 22 is connected to the upper support platform 6. The upper surface of the upper support platform 6 is connected to the bridge rotation. The support legs 5 and the circular slide 4 maintain a suitable distance to ensure that the bridge rotation remains stable during the construction process.
[0042] It is worth noting that the jack mechanism 3 in this embodiment also includes a control system 37. The control system 37 is preferably a hydraulic control system, and the jack 31 is preferably a hydraulic jack. The two jacks 31 that are furthest apart are set as a jack combination. Multiple jack combinations are connected to the control system 37 respectively. The hydraulic control system can enable multiple jacks 31 to output uniform thrust synchronously and is not prone to overload problems. By controlling multiple jack combinations to work in turn, the upper ball joint 22 can be driven to rotate continuously, so that the bridge body can reach the expected target position faster during continuous rotation.
[0043] Furthermore, the jack mechanism 3 also includes a displacement sensor 38, which is located on the cylinder of the jack 31 and electrically connected to the control system 37. The displacement sensor 38 is used to collect the extension distance of the piston end of the jack 31, so that the control system 37 can centrally control the working status of multiple jack combinations.
[0044] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to implement and utilize various different exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as well as various different choices and variations.
