[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] This application provides an aerial support platform and bridge. By installing reliable and sturdy triangular brackets, the elevator can be suspended in the air, facilitating the opening of access channels for personnel and equipment, and greatly avoiding the limitations of the complex environment of the construction work surface when the construction elevator is placed on the ground.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in a first aspect, this application provides an aerial support platform, which includes: a diagonal brace 1; a straight brace 2, which is horizontally arranged and fixed to the top of the diagonal brace 1; a vertical rod 3, which is fixed between the diagonal brace 1 and the straight brace 2, and the vertical rod 3, the diagonal brace 1 and the straight brace 2 form a set of triangular brackets, the number of which is multiple and the multiple triangular brackets are spaced apart; and a panel 4, which is laid on the top surface of the straight brace 2 of the multiple triangular brackets.

[0030] For example, the bottom end of the diagonal brace 1 is used to fix it to the tower body 10. The diagonal brace 1 gradually moves away from the tower body 10 from bottom to top. The straight brace 2 is horizontally arranged and fixed to the top of the diagonal brace 1. The left end of the straight brace 2 is used to fix it to the tower body 10. The vertical rod 3 is arranged in the enclosed area formed by the diagonal brace 1, the straight brace 2, and the tower body 10, and is vertically fixed between the diagonal brace 1 and the straight brace 2, so that the diagonal brace 1, the straight brace 2, and the vertical rod 3 are connected to form a set of triangular brackets, see Figure 2 The number of triangular brackets can be three sets, and the three sets of triangular brackets are distributed at intervals along the front and back direction. The panel 4 is laid on the top surface of the straight support 2 of multiple triangular brackets.

[0031] Specifically, the aerial support platform is erected and installed in a conventional manner. A set of triangular brackets is formed by connecting diagonal braces 1, vertical rods 3, and straight braces 2. Multiple sets of triangular brackets and panels 4 enable the support platform to effectively bear the self-weight of the construction elevator and the impact loads during operation, thus ensuring the platform's load-bearing capacity is clearly defined. By installing reliable and sturdy triangular brackets, the support platform allows the elevator to be suspended in the air, facilitating the access for personnel and equipment, and greatly avoiding the limitations imposed by the complex working environment on the ground when placing the construction elevator. This overcomes the limitations of aerial elevators in main tower construction due to spatial constraints, provides convenience for the operation and installation of personnel and equipment, and solves the problems of installing and positioning aerial elevators in complex construction environments.

[0032] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the angle between the diagonal brace 1 and the straight brace 2 facing the vertical rod 3 is α, where 40°≤α≤50°. The angle α between the diagonal brace 1 and the straight brace 2, and the fact that this angle α faces the vertical rod 3, 40°≤α≤50°, ensures the bending strength of the diagonal brace 1, thereby guaranteeing the supporting capacity of the triangular bracket.

[0033] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple horizontal braces 5 are fixed between two adjacent triangular brackets. The spacing direction of the horizontal braces 5 is consistent with the length direction of the vertical support 2, and the length direction of the horizontal braces 5 is consistent with the spacing direction of the triangular brackets. The horizontal braces 5 can be used to connect and fix adjacent triangular brackets, ensuring the support stability and reliability of the entire aerial support platform and improving its anti-tilting capability.

[0034] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the top surface of the straight support 2 of the triangular bracket is covered with multiple transverse distribution beams 6, which are spaced apart along the length of the straight support 2; the panel 4 is laid on the top surface of the multiple transverse distribution beams 6. Specifically, before the panel 4 is laid on the top surface of the straight support 2, multiple transverse distribution beams 6 are first laid on the top surface of the straight support 2, and then the panel 4 is laid on top of the multiple transverse distribution beams 6, completing the installation of the panel 4. This ensures that the force on the panel 4 is evenly distributed to the multiple transverse distribution beams 6, thus ensuring the service life of the panel 4.

[0035] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, along the length of the straight support 2, the straight support 2 is sequentially divided into a first support region 21, a second support region 22, and a third support region 23. The spacing between any two adjacent transverse distribution beams 6 in the first support region 21 is greater than the spacing between any two adjacent transverse distribution beams 6 in the second support region 22. The reason for the dense arrangement of the transverse distribution beams 6 in the second support region 22 is that this region is a weight-concentrated area, which makes the structure more stable and economical.

[0036] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the spacing between any two adjacent transverse distribution beams 6 within the third support region 23 is greater than the spacing between any two adjacent transverse distribution beams 6 within the second support region 22. Alternatively, the spacing between any two adjacent transverse distribution beams 6 within the third support region 23 can also be greater than the spacing between any two adjacent transverse distribution beams 6 within the second support region 22, further reducing the cost of the aerial support platform while still meeting structural strength design requirements.

[0037] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the diagonal brace 1 and one end of the straight brace 2 are both equipped with pin seats 8 via pin shafts 7, and the two pin seats 8 are distributed at intervals along the vertical direction. Among them, the bottom end of the diagonal brace 1 and the flange of the straight brace 2 are cut, and their webs are equipped with pin seats 8 via pin shafts 7, which facilitates subsequent installation with the tower body 10.

[0038] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the diameter of the ear plate opening of the pin seat 8 is not less than the diameter of the pin shaft 7, and the diameters of the ear plate openings of the straight brace 2 and the diagonal brace 1 are not less than the diameter of the pin shaft 7. The design that the diameters of the ear plate openings of the pin seat 8, straight brace 2, and diagonal brace 1 are not less than the diameter of the pin shaft 7 is to ensure the stability and safety of the structure, improve the reliability and load-bearing capacity of the connection, and extend its service life. At the same time, this design also facilitates installation and maintenance.

[0039] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pin seat 8 is equipped with a climbing cone 9, which is used to fix it to the tower body 10. The pin seat 8 can be fixed to the tower body 10 via the climbing cone 9.

[0040] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a bridge that includes at least one aerial support platform as described above. The bridge can be a cable-stayed bridge.

[0041] Furthermore, this aerial support platform can also be used for construction elevators outside buildings.
