Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of protective facilities for trestle bridge construction, and in particular relates to a safety protection net device for tunnel arch trestle bridges. Background Technology

[0002] During tunnel construction, the invert arch, as a crucial component bearing the bottom load, plays a decisive role in the overall stability and structural safety of the tunnel. Invert arch construction often involves multiple processes and personnel working simultaneously, including rebar tying, concrete pouring, and waterstop installation. Therefore, the construction site environment is complex, the work density is high, and the construction space is limited, resulting in significant safety risks. To improve the efficiency of invert arch operations and facilitate the passage of personnel and equipment, construction teams typically erect temporary trestle structures in the tunnel invert arch area, giving them multiple functions such as transportation, support, and a construction platform.

[0003] Existing tunnel invert arch trestle structures typically consist of two main bridges erected on either side of the tunnel floor, leaving a central gap for construction work or equipment passage within the invert arch area. However, this structural arrangement lacks effective safety protection facilities in the central area, making it highly susceptible to slips and falls, especially when personnel are crossing between the main bridges or working in the central area. Furthermore, factors such as insufficient lighting, slippery surfaces, and construction noise within the tunnel exacerbate the risk of workers accidentally stepping into the gap or falling, seriously threatening construction safety.

[0004] To address this issue, some engineering practices have attempted to install temporary guardrails or cover scaffold boards, but these methods have several limitations. Firstly, traditional guardrail structures are mostly fixed installations, lacking telescopic or quick-assembly / disassembly capabilities, affecting the flexibility and efficiency of invert arch construction operations. Secondly, covering scaffold boards suffer from insufficient load-bearing capacity, insecure fixation, and susceptibility to being moved or misappropriated, failing to provide stable and lasting safety. Furthermore, during tunnel construction requiring frequent movement of equipment or material transport, fixed protective facilities often become obstacles, disrupting the construction schedule.

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes a safety net device for a tunnel arch trestle bridge according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0032] A winding device 40 is installed between two adjacent trestle platforms 10. In a preferred embodiment, the winding device 40 includes a spool drive device that drives the spool to rotate and retract the protective netting 30. A guide rail 50 is fixedly connected to the trestle platform 10. The spool drive device can be a manual crank type, where the orderly unfolding and winding of the protective netting 30 is achieved by adjusting the rotation direction. The spool drive device can also be a geared motor and a gear transmission assembly, where the output shaft of the geared motor meshes with a large gear at the end of the spool via a small gear, preferably with a transmission ratio of 1:15 to 1:20.

[0033] The protective net 30 is a flexible protective net, with one end connected to the reel of the winding device 40. In a preferred embodiment, the protective net 30 adopts a double-layer composite structure, including a base layer. The base layer is made of plain-weave nylon 66 fiber with a single filament diameter of 0.8mm, a warp density of 12 strands / cm, and a weft density of 10 strands / cm, forming a standard mesh size of 20mm×20mm±1mm. Reinforcing ribs are spaced 500mm apart along the length of the protective net 30, and are made of 3mm thick polyurethane strips heat-fused to the surface of the base layer to effectively improve tear resistance. The mesh size of the protective net 30 can be customized according to on-site construction needs, typically with a mesh side length of 20mm to 50mm, to effectively prevent personnel, tools, or materials from accidentally falling without hindering construction operations. The edges of the protective net 30 are equipped with reinforcing ropes, which are made of multiple strands of high-strength wire twisted together to enhance its overall stress performance and tear resistance.

[0034] The drive deployment device includes a guide rail 50, a first clamping plate 70, a second clamping plate 80, and an electromagnetic slider 60.

[0035] The first clamping plate 70 and the second clamping plate 80 are mounted on both sides of the guide rail 50; the first clamping plate 70 and the second clamping plate 80 are provided with spaced permanent magnets 82, and the magnetic poles of two adjacent permanent magnets 82 are arranged in opposite directions. The first clamping plate 70 and the second clamping plate 80 are also provided with paired fixed electrode plates 83, and the polarities of adjacent fixed electrode plates 83 on the same clamping plate are arranged alternately. Figure 6 In one specific embodiment, a partial structure of the clamping plate is shown. The magnetic poles of adjacent permanent magnets 82 are arranged in opposite directions. Specifically, the magnetic poles inside the first clamping plate magnet are arranged from left to right as NSNS, and the corresponding arrangement of the second magnetic poles is SNSN. Figure 6In one specific embodiment shown, both the first clamping plate 70 and the second clamping plate 80 include a base plate 81, permanent magnets 82, and fixed electrode plates 83. The fixed electrode plates 83 are disposed on a base plate 81 between two adjacent permanent magnets 82, with the fixed electrode plates 83 located below the permanent magnets 82. Preferably, the permanent magnets 82 are made of neodymium iron boron material. The polarities of the four fixed electrode plates alternate, for example, from left to right: negative-positive-negative-positive. This arrangement causes the permanent magnets closer to the electromagnet to generate a forward repulsive force, while the permanent magnets farther from the electromagnet to generate a forward attractive force. When the electromagnetic slider 60 moves one permanent magnet spacing, the polarity of the electromagnet 65 switches once to maintain the forward driving force. The winding direction of the electromagnet coil is determined by those skilled in the art based on the magnetic pole arrangement of the permanent magnets, the polarities of the fixed electrode plates, and Lenz's law. In a preferred embodiment, as... Figure 6 As shown, the base plate 81 is also provided with bolt holes 84, through which the first clamping plate 70 and the second clamping plate 80 are connected to the guide rail 50 by bolts. The bolt holes 84 are circular through holes with an inner diameter of Φ6~Φ10mm, which are suitable for M6 or M8 bolts, facilitating quick disassembly and replacement in complex construction sites.

[0036] An electromagnetic slider 60 is mounted on a guide rail 50. The electromagnetic slider 60 includes an electromagnet 65 and an electrode spring 64. The electromagnet 65 is positioned corresponding to the permanent magnet 82. The electrode spring 64 and its corresponding fixed electrode 83 are in sliding contact. The electrode spring 64 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 65. In a preferred embodiment, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the electromagnetic slider 60 includes a base 61 and a guide block 62 fixed to the lower part of the base 61. The structure of the guide block 62 is adapted to the guide groove structure of the guide rail 50. The material of the guide block 62 can be a low-friction coefficient material such as polytetrafluoroethylene or nylon 66 to reduce sliding resistance and improve guiding accuracy. The other end of the protective net 30 is connected to the electromagnetic slider 60. In another embodiment, as... Figure 5 As shown, the electromagnetic slider 60 also includes two electrode mounting plates 63, and electrode springs 64 are mounted on the electrode mounting plates 63. The electrode springs 64 are made of elastic phosphor bronze and are connected to the electromagnet 65 wires by welding to ensure reliable power supply and sliding life.

[0037] During use, when construction work is required in the invert arch area, construction personnel can operate the control switch to power on the electromagnetic slider 60, causing it to move on the guide rail 50 and pull the protective net 30 to unfold until it covers the work gap between the two trestle platforms 10. Specifically, the electromagnetic slider 60 generates driving force through the interaction of the magnetic poles of the electromagnet 65 and the permanent magnet 82. At the same time, the electrode spring 64 slides on the fixed electrode plates 83 of different polarities, realizing the automatic switching of the current direction of the electromagnet 65, thereby forming a continuous driving force. After the work is completed, the protective net 30 is retracted into the reel by the reverse drive winding device 40, realizing the reset and reuse of the device.

[0038] In a specific embodiment of a safety net device for a tunnel arch bridge, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a power supply 20 and a control switch. The power supply 20 is electrically connected to the fixed electrode plate 83, and the control switch is located on the wire connecting the power supply 20 and the fixed electrode plate 83. The control switch is a toggle switch or a push-button switch with two working modes: on and off. To adapt to the requirements of the tunnel environment, a waterproof and dustproof switch can be selected and located on the side of the trestle platform 10 for easy operation.

[0039] To ensure the deployed safety net remains taut and prevents it from sagging between two adjacent trestle platforms, the aforementioned safety net device for tunnel arch trestle bridges has been further improved, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it also includes protective netting support rods 90, which are fixedly connected to the trestle platform 10. Loops 91 are connected to both sides of the protective netting 30, and the loops 91 are fitted onto the protective netting support rods 90. The protective netting support rods 90 are made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, possessing excellent corrosion resistance and suitable for high-humidity environments such as tunnels. The loops 91 are detachable, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly of the protective netting 30 during maintenance or winding.

[0040] The technical features disclosed above are not limited to the combinations of the disclosed features with other features. Those skilled in the art can also make other combinations of the technical features according to the purpose of the utility model in order to achieve the purpose of the utility model.
