Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building components technology, specifically relating to a Bailey bridge structure. Background Technology
[0002] Bailey bridges, also known as "prefabricated highway steel bridges," were originally called the "321" highway steel bridge. They were China's strategic highway steel bridges. Bailey bridges are steel frames that form specific units, which can be assembled into many components and equipment.
[0003] The existing patent publication number CN205857006 U describes a novel Bailey bridge with a locking device comprising a locking hook, a base plate, side plates, a connecting block, and bolts. The base plate is fixedly connected to the upper crossbeam and has an opening through which the threaded end of the bolt can pass, but the bolt head cannot pass through the opening. The bolt is threadedly connected to the connecting block through the opening. The locking hook is located at both ends of the connecting block and is rotatably mounted to the connecting block. Side plates are located at both ends of the bolt and are fixedly mounted relative to the Bailey bridge body. However, in practical use, the following shortcomings still exist: From a practical perspective, in the field of building construction, it is well known that Bailey bridges are used in cast-in-place bridges... While Bailey bridges are widely used in beam structures, construction accidents involving failure at their supports are common. Once a Bailey bridge is damaged at a support, the entire structure becomes unusable, rendering it completely useless for bridge applications. Therefore, failure at a support can have serious consequences. In actual use, supports often occur at weak or non-weak nodes. In the aforementioned structures, the structural strength at non-weak and non-weak nodes is insufficient, resulting in a reduction in the overall support strength of the Bailey bridge and decreasing its flexibility and stability.
[0004] Therefore, a Bailey bridge structure is needed to solve the problem of insufficient structural strength at non-node and weak node locations in the existing technology, which reduces the overall support strength of the Bailey bridge and reduces its flexibility and stability.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a Bailey bridge structure, including an upper chord 1, a lower chord 2, a support frame 3, a diagonal brace 4, a support structure 6, a rotating shaft 7, and a positioning structure 8. The lower chord 2 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the upper chord 1 through the support frame 3. The diagonal brace 4 is fixedly connected between the support frame 3 and the upper chord 1 and the lower chord 2. The upper chord 1 and the lower chord 2 are respectively provided with mounting holes 5. The support structure 6 is staggered on the front and rear sides of the diagonal brace 4. The positioning structure 8 is respectively provided inside the upper chord 1 and the lower chord 2.
[0025] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, it is worth noting that the support structure 6 consists of a central fixed rod 601, a telescopic rod 602, a limiting plate 604, an end fixed rod 605, a threaded rod 607, a connecting seat 608, and a mounting block 609. The telescopic rod 602 is symmetrically fixed to the upper and lower sides of the central fixed rod 601. The limiting plate 604 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 602. The end fixed rod 605 has a storage groove 606 inside. The telescopic rod 602 slides inside the storage groove 606 through the limiting plate 604. The front end of one end of the end fixed rod 605 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 607.
[0026] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the telescopic rod 602 has evenly spaced positioning holes 603 inside, and the end of the threaded rod 607 facing the storage groove 606 is rotatably connected to a positioning head, the positioning head being matched with the size of the positioning hole 603.
[0027] The support structure 6, through components such as the central fixing rod 601, the telescopic rod 602, and the end fixing rod 605, can provide additional support at non-node and weak node positions of the Bailey bridge, enhancing the structural strength at these locations. By adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 602, it can adapt to different support requirements and ensure a uniform distribution of support force. Through the cooperation of the threaded rod 607 and the positioning hole 603, the telescopic rod 602 can be precisely adjusted and fixed, ensuring the stability of the support structure.
[0028] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the connecting seat 608 is rotatably connected to one end of the end fixing rod 605, the mounting block 609 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting seat 608, the mounting block 609 has a threaded hole 610 inside, the support structure 6 is arranged at the front and rear, and the two middle fixing rods 601 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 7 at staggered positions.
[0029] The two central fixed rods 601 are connected by a rotating shaft 7, which allows the support structure 6 to rotate and adjust flexibly to adapt to different support angles and positions.
[0030] As can be seen from the above working process: the support structure 6 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the Bailey bridge at non-node and weak node positions, reduce stress concentration at these positions, and improve the overall load-bearing capacity; through the design of the telescopic rod 602 and the rotating shaft 7, the length of the sliding port 802 on the upper chord 1 and the lower chord 2 can be designed according to the actual use, so that the Bailey bridge can flexibly adjust the support position and angle according to actual needs, and adapt to different construction scenarios and load distributions.
[0031] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the positioning structure 8 consists of a baffle 803, a fixing plate 804, and bolts 805. The horizontal plate of the lower chord 2 is provided with a fixing port 801 and a sliding port 802. The baffle 803 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixing port 801, and the fixing plate 804 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixing port 801. The fixing port 801 and the baffle 803 are respectively provided with screw holes that are compatible with bolts 805.
[0032] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that baffles 803 and fixing plates 804 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the end of the sliding port 802 near the fixed port 801.
[0033] The sliding port 802 facilitates the sliding of the mounting block 609, making it easier for the support structure 6 to be installed between the upper chord 1 and the lower chord 2, and also facilitating the subsequent fixing of the mounting block 609.
[0034] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the dimensions of the mounting block 609 are adapted to the fixing port 801 and the sliding port 802;
[0035] The positioning structure 8 securely fixes the mounting block 609 of the support structure 6 to the upper and lower chords through the baffle 803, the fixing plate 804 and the bolts 805, ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the support structure 6.
[0036] This solution involves the following steps: First, the support structure 6 is staggered on both sides of the diagonal brace 4. The two central fixed rods 601 are rotated and connected via the rotating shaft 7, ensuring the support structure 6 can rotate and be adjusted flexibly. Then, the mounting block 609 on one side of the support structure 6 is installed into the fixed opening 801. By adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 602, the support structure 6 is adapted to the actual support dimensions of the Bailey bridge. The mounting block 609 on the other side is installed into the sliding opening 802. Then, the mounting block 609 is sequentially connected to the baffle 803, threaded hole 610, and fixed plate 804, securing the mounting of the baffle 803. Simultaneously, the support dimensions of the support structure 6 are fixed. Next, the threaded rod 607 is rotated to drive the positioning head into the positioning hole 603, fixing the connection between the telescopic rod 602 and the end fixed rod 605. During the use of the Bailey bridge, the length of the sliding opening 802 can be designed according to the actual usage, thereby adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 602 and the position of the support structure 6 to adapt to different load distributions and support requirements.
[0037] In summary: The support structure 6 effectively enhances the structural strength of the Bailey bridge at non-node and weak node locations, reduces stress concentration at these locations, and improves the overall load-bearing capacity. The design of the telescopic rod 602 and rotating shaft 7 allows for the adjustment of the length of the sliding opening 802 on the upper chord 1 and lower chord 2 according to actual usage, enabling the Bailey bridge to flexibly adjust the support position and angle to adapt to different construction scenarios and load distributions. The positioning structure 8, secured to the upper and lower chords with bolts 805, ensures the stability of the support structure 6, reduces potential loosening and deformation during use, simplifies the installation and maintenance of the Bailey bridge, and allows for quick adjustment and fixation of the support structure, reducing construction time and costs.
