Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction technology, and in particular to a cofferdam device for bridge construction. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge construction refers to the process of building a bridge through a series of engineering activities according to design drawings and specifications. This process encompasses all steps from preliminary preparation to bridge completion, including project initiation, surveying and design, bidding, and on-site construction such as pile foundation work, main structure construction, and installation of auxiliary facilities. Construction requires the application of knowledge from multiple fields, including structural engineering, foundation engineering, and hydraulic engineering, and the use of advanced construction technologies and equipment to ensure project quality. Simultaneously, construction management is crucial throughout the entire process, including planning, technical, quality, and safety management, to ensure smooth construction. Furthermore, comprehensive quality monitoring is essential to ensuring the safety and durability of the bridge. In short, bridge construction is a complex and highly coordinated engineering process that demands rigorous planning, precise execution, and meticulous supervision. In bridge construction, cofferdams are crucial for maintaining the dryness and stability of the construction area.

[0003] A cofferdam in bridge construction is a temporary water-retaining structure used when constructing in rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water. It isolates a portion of the water area to drain water, allowing for bridge foundation construction in a dry environment. Cofferdams are typically constructed from materials such as earth and rock, sheet piles, and concrete slabs. Their working principle involves utilizing the water-retaining properties of these materials to temporarily block water flow, while drainage equipment such as pumps continuously pumps out accumulated water within the enclosed area, maintaining a dry construction zone.

[0004] Many traditional cofferdam devices have drainage outlets on the cofferdam panels, with filters at these outlets to prevent impurities from entering the cofferdam. However, as construction progresses, silt, debris, and other contaminants in the water easily accumulate on the filters. If not cleaned promptly, the filters become clogged, affecting drainage efficiency. Therefore, a cofferdam device for bridge construction is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a cofferdam device for bridge construction, which aims to improve the drainage efficiency of some existing cofferdam devices due to the accumulation and blockage of filter screens by silt, debris and other substances in the water.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cofferdam device for bridge construction includes multiple cofferdam panels and multiple columns. A square box is fixedly connected to the interior of the front cofferdam panel. A motor is fixedly connected to the rear inner wall of the square box. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The rear side of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the front side of the slider, and the bottom ends of the two springs are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the fixed block.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The outer wall of the sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the square box, and the rear side of the transmission plate is in contact with the front side of the fixed block;

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The front sides of the two scrapers are slidably connected to the rear side of the enclosure, and the front sides of the scrapers are in contact with the rear side of the filter screen;

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The mounting plate has multiple mounting holes inside, and bolts are threaded to the inner walls of the mounting holes. The outer walls of the bolts are slidably connected to the inside of the enclosure plate.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The mounting plate has mounting grooves inside, and the outer wall of the enclosure is detachably connected to the inner wall of the two mounting grooves. The inner wall of the mounting groove is fixedly connected to a sealing strip, and the inner wall of the two sealing strips is in contact with the outside of the enclosure.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, to prevent filter screen clogging from affecting drainage, a dedicated cleaning mechanism is incorporated into the device. When the motor is turned on, it drives the rotating rod to rotate. The front end of the rotating rod slides within the groove of the transmission plate, causing the transmission plate to rotate around the fixed rod. The rotation of the transmission plate drives the slider to slide up and down within the fixed block via the rotating rod, and the square box provides longitudinal limitation for the sliding rod. The rotation of the transmission plate, in conjunction with the connection of the fixed block, causes the sliding rod to move repeatedly left and right. The scrapers on both sides of the sliding rod contact the rear side of the filter screen, thereby repeatedly scraping the surface of the filter screen. This ensures that the filter screen is cleaned promptly and effectively, preventing the drainage outlet from being clogged by accumulated impurities. This ensures that water accumulated inside the cofferdam can be smoothly discharged through the drainage outlet, maintaining a good working environment inside the cofferdam and facilitating the normal progress of bridge foundation construction.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, the number and distribution of mounting plates can be determined according to the size of the enclosure and connection requirements. Bolts connect the enclosure to the mounting plates through mounting holes. The outer wall of the enclosure is detachably connected to the mounting groove, and the sealing strip on the inner wall of the mounting groove improves the sealing performance. The column can be firmly inserted into the ground through the insertion rod, and adjustments can be made for different terrains with the help of the mounting plates. For example, in places with uneven or sloping terrain, different mounting plates can be selected to install the enclosure to adjust the angle of the enclosure, increasing the applicability of the entire cofferdam device. This flexibility allows the cofferdam device to be effectively used in bridge construction sites with various complex terrains, reducing the limitations imposed by the terrain on the use of the cofferdam device.
