Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic bridge sprinkler technology, specifically an automatic sprinkler device for bridge tie beams. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge tie beams are beams that connect two bridge piers. The main purpose of their design is to improve the load-bearing structure of columns and piles, strengthen the overall rigidity, reduce the height difference ratio, and improve the stability of the entire bridge pier. After construction, due to environmental factors, the moisture in the concrete is prone to evaporate in high temperatures, which can lead to dehydration and cracking of the bridge tie beams. Therefore, they need to be cured by continuous watering.

[0003] Currently, many water spraying devices are used for the maintenance of bridge piers or precast beams, and rarely for the maintenance of bridge tie beams. Moreover, many water spraying devices require manual operation at irregular intervals for continuous watering maintenance, and cannot achieve automatic spraying using a spraying system. Under these conditions, the maintenance of bridge tie beams is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic sprinkler system for bridge tie beams to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic sprinkler system for bridge girders includes: a ground surface on which two symmetrical piers are positioned, each pier having the same bridge girder mounted on its exterior. One pier has a long platform fixedly connected to the exterior of the bridge girder, and the platform has an inner groove containing a threaded rod. A motor is fixedly connected to the side of the platform away from the ground, and the motor's output is connected to the threaded rod's off-ground end via a coupling. A movable platform is positioned outside the threaded rod, and two symmetrical arc-shaped frames are fixedly connected to the movable platform. Each of the two arc-shaped frames has a square hole, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each square hole. The output ends of both electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to clamps.

[0007] As described above, an automatic sprinkler system for bridge girders includes a threaded rod with one end near the ground that is movably connected to the inner wall of the inner groove, and a protective cover is provided on the outside of the motor, with the protective cover fixedly connected to the side of the long platform opposite to it.

[0008] An automatic sprinkler system for bridge girders as described above: a water tank is provided on the ground, a water suction pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank, a T-junction is fixedly connected to the end of the water suction pipe away from the water tank, and connecting pipes are fixedly connected to both ends of the T-junction away from the water suction pipe, and solenoid valves are fixedly connected to the ends of the two connecting pipes away from the T-junction.

[0009] An automatic sprinkler system for bridge girders as described above: a water pump is fixedly connected to the ground, the water pump is located below one of the solenoid valves, and the output end of the water pump is connected to the suction pipe through a conduit.

[0010] As described above, an automatic sprinkler system for bridge girders includes: two solenoid valves with hoses fixedly connected to the ends of the two solenoid valves away from the first connecting pipe; two hoses with hoses fixedly connected to the ends of the two solenoid valves away from the second connecting pipe; and two connecting pipes with hoses fixedly connected to the ends of the two hoses away from the first connecting pipe; the two horizontal pipes are located on both sides of the bridge girders.

[0011] An automatic sprinkler system for bridge girders as described above: multiple linearly equidistantly distributed water spray pipes are fixedly connected to each of the two horizontal pipes, and a boss is fixedly connected to the end of each of the two horizontal pipes near the arc frame. The side of each of the two bosses away from the horizontal pipes is fixedly connected to the side opposite to the arc frame. A piston is fixedly connected to the end of each of the two horizontal pipes away from the arc frame.

[0012] An automatic sprinkler system for bridge girders as described above: an intelligent control box is fixedly connected to the ground, the intelligent control box is equipped with a door, and a slot is opened on the door, with a glass plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a ground, pier, bridge beam, arc frame, long platform, threaded rod, moving platform, electric telescopic rod, clamping plate, protective cover, and motor, during the operation of the device, the long platform is fixed on the bridge beam, which facilitates better fixation. The motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the arc frame connected to the moving platform to move up and down, moving the arc frame to the appropriate position for subsequent spraying operations. This avoids inaccurate spraying positions. After the position is determined, the position is adjusted by the telescopic action of the electric telescopic rod. The clamping plate clamps the pier, preventing the arc frame from sliding due to water pressure during spraying, thus ensuring the stable operation of subsequent spraying.

[0014] During use, the device is equipped with a water tank, suction pipe, water pump, T-connector, solenoid valve, and connecting pipe 1. During operation, the water pump continuously draws water from the water tank through the suction pipe, ensuring a stable water supply from the source. The T-connector allows the suction pipe and connecting pipe 1 to connect smoothly, ensuring stable water flow distribution. The solenoid valve maintains stable water pressure in the T-connector, guaranteeing overall water supply stability.

[0015] During use, the device is equipped with a solenoid valve, a water spray pipe, a horizontal pipe, a boss, a connecting pipe, a hose, and a piston. The solenoid valve provides stable water pressure, ensuring a steady flow of water through the hose into the horizontal pipe. Multiple water spray pipes then spray water to moisturize and maintain the bridge beams, thus better protecting them. The boss securely fixes the horizontal pipe to the curved frame, allowing the horizontal pipe to move stably up and down with the frame to reach the desired position, facilitating subsequent spraying maintenance.

[0016] During use, the device is equipped with an intelligent control box, a door, and a glass panel. The intelligent control box allows for manual, automatic, and remote control of the entire spray system, reducing manual operation and improving the overall effect of automatic spraying. The door ensures that the intelligent control box will not be flooded during prolonged spraying, thus guaranteeing the operation of the entire device. The operator can observe the data inside the intelligent control box through the glass panel and adjust the data periodically for more intelligent automatic spraying. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, an automatic sprinkler system for bridge girders includes: a ground 1, on which two symmetrical piers 2 are arranged, and the same bridge girder 3 is arranged on the outside of each of the two symmetrical piers 2. A long platform 5 is arranged on the outside of one of the piers 2, and the long platform 5 is bolted to the outside of the bridge girder 3. An inner groove is opened on the long platform 5, and a threaded rod 8 is arranged in the inner groove. A motor 13 is bolted to the side of the long platform 5 away from the ground 1, and the output end of the motor 13 is connected to the end of the threaded rod 8 away from the ground 1 through a coupling. A movable platform 9 is arranged on the outside of the threaded rod 8, and two symmetrical arc-shaped frames 4 are bolted to the outside of the movable platform 9. A square hole is opened on each of the two symmetrical arc-shaped frames 4, and an electric telescopic rod 10 is bolted to the inner wall of each square hole. A clamping plate 11 is bolted to the output end of each of the two electric telescopic rods 10.

[0026] In this utility model, the end of the threaded rod 8 near the ground 1 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inner groove through a bearing, and a protective cover 12 is provided on the outside of the motor 13. The protective cover 12 is connected to the side of the long platform 5 opposite to it by bolts.

[0027] Specifically, the rotation of the threaded rod 8 drives the moving platform 9 to move up and down, moving the arc frame 4 connected to the moving platform 9 to a suitable position for subsequent spraying operations. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 10 is used to adjust the appropriate position, and the clamping plate 11 is used to clamp the pier column 2 to better fix the arc frame 4 and prevent it from sliding during operation, which would affect the spraying operation.

[0028] Preferably, the device is equipped with a ground surface 1, pier 2, bridge beam 3, arc frame 4, long platform 5, threaded rod 8, moving platform 9, electric telescopic rod 10, clamping plate 11, protective cover 12, and motor 13. During operation, the long platform 5 is fixed to the bridge beam 3 for better fixation. The motor 13 drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate, causing the arc frame 4 connected to the moving platform 9 to move up and down, moving the arc frame 4 to a suitable position for subsequent spraying operations. This avoids inaccurate spraying positions. After the position is determined, the position is adjusted by the telescopic action of the electric telescopic rod 10. The clamping plate 11 clamps the pier 2 to prevent the arc frame 4 from sliding due to water pressure during spraying, ensuring stable subsequent spraying.

[0029] In this embodiment, the protective cover 12 can better protect the motor 13 and prevent water from seeping into the motor 13 during the spraying process, thereby affecting the operation of the motor 13.

[0030] In this utility model, a water tank 7 is provided on the ground 1. A water suction pipe 14 is bolted to the outside of the water tank 7. The end of the water suction pipe 14 away from the water tank 7 is bolted to a three-way pipe 16. Both ends of the three-way pipe 16 away from the water suction pipe 14 are bolted to connecting pipes 18. The ends of the two connecting pipes 18 away from the three-way pipe 16 are bolted to a solenoid valve 17.

[0031] In this utility model, a water pump 15 is bolted to the ground 1. The water pump 15 is located below one of the solenoid valves 17, and the output end of the water pump 15 is connected to the suction pipe 14 through a conduit.

[0032] Specifically, the operation of the water pump 15 enables the output end of the water pump 15 to continuously draw water from the water tank 7 through the suction pipe 14 via the conduit, ensuring the smooth progress of the extraction process and avoiding uneven water flow caused by incomplete extraction.

[0033] Preferably, the device is equipped with a water tank 7, a suction pipe 14, a water pump 15, a three-way pipe 16, a solenoid valve 17, and a connecting pipe 18. During operation, the device continuously draws water from the water tank 7 through the output end of the water pump 15 and the suction pipe 14, ensuring the stability of the water supply at the source. The three-way pipe 16 allows the suction pipe 14 and the connecting pipe 18 to be smoothly connected to the three-way pipe 16, ensuring the stable operation of the water flow diversion. Under the action of the solenoid valve 17, the water pressure in the three-way pipe 16 can be kept stable, ensuring the stability of the overall water supply.

[0034] In this utility model, the ends of the two solenoid valves 17 away from the connecting pipe 18 are each connected to a hose 23 by bolts, the ends of the two hoses 23 away from the solenoid valves 17 are each connected to a connecting pipe 22 by bolts, and the ends of the two connecting pipes 22 away from the hoses 23 are each connected to a horizontal pipe 20 by bolts. The two horizontal pipes 20 are located on both sides of the bridge beam 3.

[0035] In this utility model, multiple linearly equidistantly distributed water spray pipes 19 are bolted to both horizontal pipes 20, and a boss 21 is bolted to the end of each horizontal pipe 20 near the arc frame 4. The side of each boss 21 away from the horizontal pipe 20 is bolted to the side opposite to the arc frame 4. A piston 24 is bolted to the end of each horizontal pipe 20 away from the arc frame 4.

[0036] Specifically, under the constant water pressure maintained by the solenoid valve 17, the water can flow steadily into the horizontal pipe 20 through the connection of the hose 23, and the water is continuously sprayed onto the bridge beam 3 through the multiple water spray pipes 19 installed on it, thereby continuously maintaining the bridge beam 3 and ensuring that the bridge beam 3 will not crack due to long-term lack of water, thus affecting the safety of the entire bridge.

[0037] Preferably, by providing a solenoid valve 17, a water spray pipe 19, a horizontal pipe 20, a boss 21, a connecting pipe 22, a hose 23, and a piston 24, the device ensures that during operation, the solenoid valve 17 provides stable water pressure, ensuring that water flows steadily into the horizontal pipe 20 through the hose 23. The multiple water spray pipes 19 spray water to moisturize and maintain the bridge beam 3, thus better protecting the bridge beam 3. The boss 21 can stably fix the horizontal pipe 20 to the arc frame 4, ensuring that the horizontal pipe 20 can stably reach the required position as the arc frame 4 moves up and down, facilitating subsequent spraying maintenance.

[0038] In this embodiment, the piston 24 effectively blocks the water flow through the horizontal pipe 20, thus avoiding the waste of water resources.

[0039] In this utility model, an intelligent control box 6 is bolted to the ground 1. The intelligent control box 6 is provided with a door 25, and a slot is opened on the door 25. A glass plate 26 is bolted to the inner wall of the slot.

[0040] Specifically, under the overall control of the intelligent control box 6, each part is ensured to operate smoothly. The intelligent control box 6 is also equipped with a remote system, which can be operated not only manually, but also automatically and remotely, reducing manual operation and ensuring the high efficiency and orderliness of the overall automatic sprinkler system.

[0041] Preferably, by incorporating an intelligent control box 6, a door 25, and a glass plate 26, the device can be manually, automatically, and remotely controlled via the intelligent control box 6 during operation. This reduces manual operation and improves the overall effect of automatic spraying. The door 25 ensures that the intelligent control box 6 will not be flooded during prolonged spraying, thus guaranteeing the operation of the entire device. Furthermore, the operator can observe the data inside the intelligent control box 6 through the glass plate 26 and adjust the data periodically, enabling more intelligent automatic spraying.
