Detailed Implementation
[0027] 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. Example
[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 A cantilever bridge-building machine, characterized in that it includes a main truss system main beam A, a rear anchor system B, a correction system C, a main truss system C-shaped frame D, a bottom basket E, a walking system F, a safety protection system G, an outer formwork demolding system H, a template system I, and a suspension system J;
[0029] Template system I includes inner mold I1, outer mold I2, bottom mold I3, and end molds.
[0030] The suspension system J is used to suspend and fix the bottom basket E, inner mold I1 and outer mold I2 on the main truss system C-shaped frame D; so that the bottom basket E, inner mold I1 and outer mold I2 move synchronously with the main beam A of the main truss system.
[0031] The correction system C includes a main beam connecting plate C1 fixedly installed on the main beam A of the main truss system. From top to bottom, the bottom of the main beam connecting plate C1 has a main beam lifting section C2 and a main beam lateral movement section C3. The main beam lifting section C2 and the main beam lateral movement section C3 each include a lifting cylinder C4 and a lateral movement cylinder C5, respectively. A sliding base C6 is also fixedly installed at the free end of the lateral movement cylinder C5. When adjustment is needed, the sliding base C6 contacts the ground, and the main beam lifting section C2 lifts the main beam A of the main truss system, raising it off the ground and reducing friction. The main beam lifting section C2 is driven by the lifting cylinder C4 and controlled by an automated operating system. The main beam lateral movement section C3 then moves left and right, changing the posture of the main beam. The main beam lateral movement section C3 is driven by the lateral movement cylinder C5 and controlled by an automated operating system. This achieves the adjustment of the relative position between the cantilever bridge-building machine and the bridge.
[0032] The traveling system F includes vertically distributed counter-pressure rollers F1 and load-bearing rollers F2, both rotatably connected to the main beam A of the main truss system. It also includes a drive assembly that drives the load-bearing rollers F2 to rotate. This drive assembly includes a traveling drive motor, which pulls the main beam A via chain drive. Support is provided by the load-bearing rollers F2, and anti-tipping is achieved by the counter-pressure rollers F1. Due to the sprocket and chain drive F3, the transmission is stable, the chain has high load-bearing capacity, and is more flexible. Even when the traveling system F disengages from the main beam A of the main truss system, the sprocket and chain F3 remain engaged, unaffected by the state of the main beam A and the traveling system F, facilitating installation and maintenance. Furthermore, it includes a sprocket tensioning assembly for easy tension adjustment of the sprockets, improving the stability of the sprocket and chain drive.
[0033] The outer mold release system H includes a vertical lift H1 and an adjusting screw H2, as well as a lateral movement mechanism fixedly mounted on the C-shaped frame D of the main truss system. The vertical lift H1 is vertically slidably engaged with the lateral movement mechanism, and the adjusting screw H2 is threadedly connected to the lateral movement mechanism, with the bottom of the vertical lift H1 rotatably connected to the adjusting screw H2. The vertical lift H1 drives the outer mold I2 template. After being lifted into position, the adjusting screw H2 is manually adjusted for leveling. Concrete is then poured. The worm gear output is stable and highly precise, controlled by an automated system. Manual adjustments require only fine-tuning. It may also include an outer mold release system.
[0034] Specifically, the rear anchor system B presses down on the main girder A of the main truss system and anchors it to the already cast beam segment. This fixes the main girder to the bridge and prevents the bridge-building machine from tipping over.
[0035] Specifically, the bottom basket E includes a lower crossbeam, a bottom longitudinal beam, a bottom formwork, and a construction operation platform, and is suspended on the C-shaped frame D of the main truss system.
[0036] Specifically, the safety protection system G includes guardrails, ladders, and protective operating platforms. Construction workers can operate on the platforms.
[0037] Specifically, the main girder A of the main truss system is composed of steel plates of different thicknesses welded together.
[0038] This cantilever bridge-building machine can adjust the relative position between the bridge-building machine and the bridge, enabling it to move forward, backward, and laterally as a whole.
[0039] The lifting and lateral movement of the main truss uses hydraulic cylinders as the power unit, and special telescopic outriggers and lateral sliding blocks are used to adjust the position and attitude of the main truss.
[0040] The walking system is driven by a hydraulic motor and sprocket chain transmission, allowing for walking without the need to replace the rail beam. It features smooth transmission, high traction, convenient installation and maintenance, and high efficiency.
[0041] The external formwork adjustment system uses a geared motor and vertical drive to adjust the formwork height; it uses a horizontal cylinder and slider mechanism to open and close the formwork, which has high precision and good synchronization. At the same time, a fine-tuning mechanism is reserved so that the formwork height can be adjusted according to the construction of different sections.
[0042] The inner mold uses a hydraulic cylinder to adjust its overall width and opening / closing dimensions. The overall elevation is adjusted using a height adjustment mechanism for the base basket.
[0043] The rear anchoring system uses a spreader beam, slings, distribution beams, wedges, and 40Cr rods to anchor to the already poured beam segment, ensuring the safety of cantilever casting construction. Simultaneously, the rear anchor C-shaped frame is equipped with safety devices, providing double protection against overturning.
[0044] This cantilever bridge-building machine has advantages such as low cost, labor saving, reduced operator difficulty, improved equipment stability, and increased production and construction efficiency and quality.
[0045] Operating steps:
[0046] 1. Assemble the bridge-building machine and install it anchored on block 0;
[0047] 2. Begin pouring one section of concrete. Once this section reaches the design requirements, operate the outer formwork release system H and the inner formwork release system to detach the inner formwork I1 and outer formwork I2 from the concrete surface.
[0048] 3. Adjust the suspension system J to detach from the concrete; the first section of pouring is now complete.
[0049] 4. Correction system C begins jacking up the main girder A of the main truss system. The rear anchor system B is removed, and the relative position of the main girder A of the main truss system and the bridge is adjusted.
[0050] 5. The walking system F, relying on the counter-pressure wheel F1, the load-bearing wheel F2 and the sprocket and chain F3, begins to move forward along the main beam;
[0051] 6. After the traveling system F reaches its position, the correction system C begins to retract, and the main girder A of the main truss system moves downward.
[0052] 7. The traveling system's F-type motor, driven by sprocket and chain F3, drives the main girder A of the main truss system, causing the outer formwork I2 to move forward.
[0053] 8. After the main girder A of the main truss system is in place, install the rear anchor system B, lift out the inner formwork I1, and start the second section pouring. Then repeat the process in sequence.
