Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring device technology, specifically a measuring device for the closure joint of a double-layer bridge deck steel truss. Background Technology
[0002] Steel trusses have high structural rigidity, can withstand large loads and deformations, have good spanning capacity, and are easy to implement in a three-dimensional traffic layout with double-deck bridges. Therefore, steel truss bridges are widely used in dual-purpose road and rail bridges to reduce land occupation and redundant construction, and to reduce project costs and construction period. However, due to its high overall rigidity, the double-deck steel truss bridge is difficult to adjust for errors during construction. Furthermore, the deformation of each truss is inconsistent during installation, resulting in numerous connection points. High precision is required for the main truss components during the closure phase. Before the closure of the double-deck continuous steel truss bridge section, the relative position of the beams at the two conjugate cantilever ends is affected by factors such as sunlight duration, ambient temperature, and construction errors. This leads to a difference between the beams at the cantilever ends and the theoretical state. Therefore, closure measurement is necessary before closure, requiring precise measurement of the horizontal spacing parameters at the closure joint every two hours daily. Existing closure joint measurement techniques mainly involve placing a total station at a control point, aligning it with the control point on the opposite side for coordinate measurement, and then calculating and recording the straight-line distance between the control points on both sides of the closure joint. If the closure joint distance is short, measuring devices such as steel rulers can be used directly. However, this method is inefficient and requires highly skilled personnel. Therefore, a new closure joint measurement device for double-deck steel truss bridges is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a measuring device for the closure of a double-layer bridge deck steel truss girder, so as to solve the aforementioned technical problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a measuring device for the closure joint of a double-layer bridge deck steel truss girder, comprising a dial indicator, a base measuring rod, and an extension measuring rod. One end of the base measuring rod is fixedly connected to the dial indicator, and the other end is fixedly connected to the extension measuring rod. Both the base measuring rod and the extension measuring rod are composed of a hollow column and a sliding column. The sliding column is slidably fitted inside the hollow column. A limiting groove is provided on the side plate of the hollow column. A limiting sliding column is fixedly connected to one end of the hollow column. The limiting sliding column is slidably disposed within the limiting groove. External threads are provided on the outer walls of both ends of the limiting sliding column.

One end of the limiting slide column is threaded into the threaded hole of the slide column. A positioning bolt is threaded onto the outer thread of the limiting slide column. A wear-resistant and anti-slip pad is laminated on the side of the positioning bolt near the hollow column. The end of the hollow column away from the slide column is a closed structure, and a threaded connecting column is fixedly connected at the center of the end face. Threaded connecting holes that are compatible with the threaded connecting column are opened on one end of the slide column and the end face of the clamping rod of the dial indicator.

[0006] Preferably, a spirit level is installed on one side of the hollow column of the base measuring rod.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a measuring device for the closure joint of a double-layer bridge deck steel truss girder, comprising a dial indicator 1, a base measuring rod 2, and an extension measuring rod 3. One end of the base measuring rod 2 is fixedly connected to the dial indicator 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the extension measuring rod 3. Both the base measuring rod 2 and the extension measuring rod 3 are composed of a hollow column 21 and a sliding column 22. The sliding column 22 is slidably sleeved inside the hollow column 21. A limiting groove 21a is provided on the side plate of the hollow column 21. A limiting sliding column 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the hollow column 21. The limiting sliding column 23 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 21a. External threads are provided on the outer walls of both ends of the limiting sliding column 23, which is located in the limiting groove 21a. The outer wall of the inner area is a smooth surface. The sliding column 22 has a threaded hole for installing the limiting sliding column 23. One end of the limiting sliding column 23 is threaded into the threaded hole of the sliding column 22. The limiting sliding column 23 is threaded with a positioning bolt 24. The side of the positioning bolt 24 near the hollow column 21 is reinforced with a wear-resistant and anti-slip pad. The end of the hollow column 21 away from the sliding column 22 is a closed structure, and a threaded connecting column 22b is fixedly connected at the center of the end face. One end of the sliding column 22 and the end face of the clamping rod of the dial indicator 1 are provided with threaded connecting holes 22a that are adapted to the threaded connecting column 22b. The end of the base measuring rod 2 near the dial indicator 1 is equipped with an illumination component 5.
[0019] Furthermore, a lighting mounting hole 21b is provided on one side of the hollow column 21 of the base measuring rod 2. The lighting assembly 5 consists of a gooseneck tube 51, a lighting lamp 52 and a threaded connection part. The two ends of the gooseneck tube 51 are respectively connected to the lighting lamp 52 and the threaded connection part, and the threaded connection part is threadedly installed in the lighting mounting hole 21b.
[0020] Furthermore, a level 6 is installed on one side of the hollow column 21 of the base measuring rod 2. Except for the level 6 and the lighting mounting hole 21b, the base measuring rod 2 and the extension measuring rod 3 are completely identical in structure. The top surface of the hollow column 21 and the sliding column 22 is provided with scale lines 25.
[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a gear shift assembly 4, which consists of a right-angle plate and a threaded connecting post 22b, with the threaded connecting post 22b fixedly connected to one side plate of the right-angle plate.
[0022] Furthermore, after the sliding column 22 is pulled out from the hollow column 21, the maximum length of the sliding column 22 and the hollow column 21 is 2m and the minimum length is 1m.
[0023] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, when using the device, select an appropriate number of extension measuring rods 3 according to the distance between the ends of the conjugate cantilever of the steel truss beam. The sliding column 22 slides inside the hollow column 21 to adjust the overall length of the device. One end of the hanging assembly 4 is hung on the steel truss beam at the end of the conjugate cantilever beam. The device is leveled by observing the level ruler 6 on the base measuring rod 2. After the device is leveled, record the reading of the dial indicator 1. After a period of time, measure again with the same length and the same position. When measuring at night, install the lighting assembly 5 on the base measuring rod 2 for reading and illumination. After the dial indicator 1 is separated from the base measuring rod 2, the base measuring rod 2 and the extension measuring rod 3 can be used as a ruler and measuring rod.
[0025] The measurement method of the device is as follows: before the closure of the closure section of the double-deck continuous steel truss bridge, 16 pairs of closure joint measurement reference points are set at the relative positions of the beams at the two conjugate cantilever ends. Among them, there are 4 pairs at the top of the upper beam and 4 pairs at the bottom of the lower beam. The measurement points 1, 2, 3, 4 between the upper layers correspond to the measurement points 1', 2', 3', 4' in pairs. The measurement points 5, 6, 7, 8 between the lower layers correspond to the measurement points 5', 6', 7', 8' in pairs. The measurement points 1, 2, 3, 4 between the upper layers correspond to the measurement points 5', 6', 7', 8' in the lower layers. The measurement points 5, 6, 7, 8 between the lower layers correspond to the measurement points 1', 2', 3', 4' in the upper layers. A total of 16 pairs of paired measurement points are used. During the first measurement, a total station and steel tape were used to measure the absolute coordinates of the closure section reference points and the horizontal distance, vertical height difference, and spatial rotation angle between any reference points at the closure beam end. The initial distance between any reference points at the closure beam end was measured and set digitally. In the second and subsequent measurements, this device was used to mechanically transmit displacement, converting the relative displacement between any two reference points at the closure joint into the difference between two readings of the displacement gauge. This difference was then superimposed on the initial value display to obtain the absolute distance between any two reference points at the closure joint. Finally, using the triangular geometric relationships between the closure joint reference points, the horizontal distance, vertical height difference, and spatial rotation angle between any reference points at the closure beam end were calculated.
[0026] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
