Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of road and bridge expansion joints, and specifically relates to a road and bridge expansion joint protection device. Background Technology
[0002] Road expansion joints are the connecting parts between buildings, bridges, and road surfaces. They are important components that play a buffering role in preventing deformation and damage caused by different coefficients of thermal expansion of different parts. Expansion joints play a crucial role in protecting road and bridge structures from damage. They can absorb the expansion and contraction deformation of bridges caused by temperature and load changes. Without expansion joints, excessive stress would be generated when the road and bridge pavement expands and contracts with temperature changes, leading to structural damage. Expansion joints can effectively protect the integrity and safety of roads and bridges. However, existing expansion joints are often too narrow during use, leading to increased internal stress and loss of free expansion and contraction capacity. In addition, the lack of protection makes expansion joints prone to damage.
[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned solutions in actual production and implementation, modifications and improvements have been made. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking excellence, with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after much ingenuity and experimentation, this utility model was created to provide a road and bridge expansion joint protection device to solve the problem.
