Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of U-rib plate positioning technology, specifically a U-rib plate positioning device for steel box girders. Background Technology

[0002] Steel box girders are a common structural form for long-span bridges, requiring the assembly of numerous U-ribs on their top or bottom plates. The welding positions of the U-ribs to the top or bottom plates of the steel box girder must be extremely precise; otherwise, the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the bridge will be affected. Positioning devices ensure that the U-ribs are precisely aligned with the top or bottom plates during installation, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the welding positions.

[0003] In related technologies, during welding or assembly, threaded rods support connecting plates, and positioning blocks move on the connecting plates. These positioning blocks provide stable support and fixation for the U-rib plates, preventing movement or deformation. However, during steel box girder assembly, the U-rib plates may need to be installed at different angles on the top or bottom plates to meet bridge design requirements. Since the threaded rods are threaded to the connecting plates, angle adjustment is not possible, making it impossible to adapt to these multi-angle installation needs, leading to construction difficulties or even failure to complete the project. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a steel box girder U-rib plate positioning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A positioning device for U-rib plates of steel box girders, comprising:

[0026] A support plate 1 is provided, on which several positioning blocks 2 are installed. A scale 27 is provided on the support plate 1. The positioning blocks 2 are connected to the support plate 1 through a fixing component. One end of the support plate 1 is connected to a first connecting plate 3 through a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes a servo motor 17, a fixing frame 18, and a second rotating rod 19. The servo motor 17 is installed inside the fixing frame 18, and the servo motor 17, the fixing frame 18, and the first connecting plate 3 are fixedly connected. The output end of the servo motor 17 is connected to the second rotating rod 19. The extension end of the second rotating rod 19 that passes through the fixing frame 18 is connected to the support plate 1. The other end of the support plate 1 is connected to a second connecting plate 5 through a first rotating rod 4. A controller 6 is fixedly installed on the first connecting plate 3.

[0027] When adjusting the flipping or rotating angle of the positioning block 2, since one end of the support plate 1 is connected to the second connecting plate 5 through the first rotating rod 4, the adjustment controller 6 controls the servo motor 17 to operate. The servo motor 17 can drive the support plate 1 to rotate through the second rotating rod 19, thereby flipping the positioning block 2 and the rotation angle of the positioning block 2.

[0028] Furthermore, a limiting ring 20 is fixedly provided on the second rotating rod 19, and a limiting groove 21 is provided on the fixed frame 18 for the limiting ring 20 to rotate and connect. A rotating ball 22 is rotatably connected to the limiting ring 20, and the rotating ball 22 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 21.

[0029] When the support plate 1 rotates, the limiting ring 20 rotates within the limiting groove 21, and the rotating ball 22 slides within the limiting groove 21, reducing the rotational friction of the limiting ring 20, which can support the second rotating rod 19 and reduce the load on the servo motor 17.

[0030] The adjustment mechanism includes two servo cylinders 7 and a connecting assembly. The output ends of the servo cylinders 7 are connected to the first connecting plate 3 and the slider 8 respectively through the connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a first connecting block 23 and a second connecting block 24. The first connecting block 23 is connected to the output end of the servo cylinders 7, and the second connecting block 24 is connected to the slider 8 and the first connecting plate 3 respectively. The first connecting block 23 and the second connecting block 24 are rotatably connected. The second connecting plate 5 is provided with a sliding groove 9 for the slider 8 to slide.

[0031] When adjusting the height of the left and right ends of the support plate 1, the controller 6 manipulates the servo cylinder 7 to drive the two ends of the support plate 1 to move. By adjusting the servo cylinder 7, the two ends of the support plate 1 are moved to different heights, thereby adjusting the positioning angle of the positioning block 2. When adjusting the angle of the support plate 1, the slider 8 slides in the slide groove 9. Because the first connecting block 23 and the second connecting block 24 are rotatably connected, they rotate relative to each other, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the support plate 1.

[0032] In summary, adjusting the positioning angle of positioning block 2 can precisely align the two ends of the U-rib plate or the welding part, reduce welding defects caused by position deviation, improve the quality of the welded joint, and quickly and accurately adjust the position of the U-rib plate, reducing positioning time and improving welding efficiency.

[0033] Specifically, the support plate 1 has an adjustment groove 10, one end of the positioning block 2 is engaged in the adjustment groove 10, and the end of the positioning block 2 away from the adjustment groove 10 has a U-shaped groove 11. The fixing assembly includes a connecting rod 12, a baffle 13 and a rotating handle 14. The rotating handle 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 12, and the end of the connecting rod 12 away from the rotating handle 14 is threadedly connected to the positioning block 2. A through groove 15 is provided on one side of the adjustment groove 10, and the connecting rod 12 passes through the through groove 15. A through hole 16 is provided on the baffle 13 for the connecting rod 12 to pass through, and the baffle 13 is in contact with the support plate 1.

[0034] When adjusting the distance between the positioning blocks 2, rotate the handle 14, and the connecting rod 12 moves in the through hole 16. Adjust the positioning blocks 2 according to the scale 27 on the support plate 1. After adjustment, rotate the handle 14, and the connecting rod 12 is threadedly connected to the positioning block 2. Fix the positioning block 2 to the support plate 1 to complete the adjustment of the positioning block 2. It can perfectly adapt to different models of U rib plates and achieve precise positioning.

[0035] When adding the positioning block 2, the rotating handle 14 and the connecting rod 12 pass through the through hole 16, and the positioning block 2 is engaged in the adjusting groove 10. Then, rotate the baffle 13 so that the baffle 13 contacts and connects with the support plate 1. Rotate the rotating handle 14 to tighten the baffle 13 and the support plate 1, and the addition of the positioning block 2 is completed.

[0036] In the above embodiment, a mounting plate 25 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the servo electric cylinder 7, and a mounting thread hole 26 is provided on the mounting plate 25.

[0037] When installing the mounting plate 25, the mounting plate 25 can be fixed by connecting the bolts to the mounting threaded holes 26, thereby fixing the device in place.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
