Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge building machine technology, and in particular to a bridge building machine travel limit device with buffer function. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge-building machines are specialized equipment used for the segmented construction of bridges. They enable the mechanized construction of the main structure of bridges through the assembly of prefabricated components or on-site casting. Their core function is to replace the traditional hanging basket process and improve the construction efficiency and precision of long-span bridges (such as railway bridges and highway bridges).

[0003] For example, patent number CN115341486B discloses a bridge-building machine for cantilever casting construction, including a main truss and an inner mold. The inner mold includes an inner mold body, an inner mold lifting beam, and an inner mold guide beam. The front end of the main truss is provided with a crossbeam that can provide support for the inner mold guide beam. The inner mold body is located on the inner mold lifting beam, and the inner mold lifting beam is provided with an inner mold lifting rod. The inner mold guide beam and the inner mold body can slide relative to each other. In this invention, before the overall hoisting of the reinforcing cage, the inner mold body is anchored to the already cast continuous beam segment by the inner mold lifting rod. The inner mold guide beam slides into the already cast continuous beam segment, and then the hoist lifts the reinforcing cage to the installation position. The inner mold will not affect the overall hoisting of the reinforcing cage. After the steel cage is in place, the front end of the inner formwork guide beam slides onto the crossbeam, which provides support. Then the inner formwork hanger is released, and the main body of the inner formwork slides forward along the inner formwork guide beam to the segment to be poured. There is no need to assemble the inner formwork on site, which helps to further shorten the construction period. The overall structure is simple, effective, and easy to operate.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a bridge-building machine travel limiting device with buffer function, including a mounting base 1, a support plate 2 at the upper end of the mounting base 1, a first buffer plate 3 at the front side of the support plate 2, a second buffer plate 4 at the rear side of the first buffer plate 3, a shock absorber 5 between the first buffer plate 3 and the second buffer plate 4, a damper 6 at the rear side of the second buffer plate 4, movable plates 7 on both sides of the damper 6, a movable block 8 at the rear end of the movable plate 7, and a guide slide rod 9 on the surface of the support plate 2. The rod 9 has fixed fasteners at both ends for connecting the support plate 2. The guide slide rod 9 has a first spring 10 and a second spring 11 on its outer side. It contacts the traveling mechanism through the first buffer plate 3. The shock absorber 5 provides initial buffering of the impact force. At the same time, the second buffer plate 4 is subjected to pressure, which causes the movable plate 7 to deflect. The movable block 8 slides on the surface of the guide slide rod 9. The first spring 10 is stretched and the second spring 11 is compressed. The elastic force of the first spring 10 and the second spring 11, together with the damper 6, achieves secondary buffering of the impact force.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment, the upper ends of the support plate 2 and the mounting base 1 are fixedly connected. Triangular plates 21 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the support plate 2. The triangular plates 21 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the mounting base 1. A guide rail is provided on the front side of the mounting base 1 below the first buffer plate 3. The first buffer plate 3 and the second buffer plate 4 are arranged in parallel front and rear. The front end of the shock absorber 5 is fixedly connected to the first buffer plate 3, and the rear end of the shock absorber 5 is fixedly connected to the second buffer plate 4. The traveling guide system of the bridge-building machine travel mechanism eliminates lateral offset and reduces the buffer load by using a traveling wheel set with a 5-10mm gap fit with the limiting rail and a rotatable guide wheel in the middle. The connecting support system adapts to installation errors and reduces vibration transmission by using a fixed plate with an elongated hole and a rubber shock-absorbing pad. The mounting base 1 is installed and fixed at the end of the guide rail to limit the travel mechanism of the bridge-building machine. When the travel mechanism moves to the end of the guide rail, it contacts the travel mechanism through the first buffer plate 3, and the shock absorber 5 initially buffers the impact force.

[0026] Please see Figures 2-5In this embodiment, the front end of the damper 6 and the second buffer plate 4 are fixedly connected, the rear end of the damper 6 and the support plate 2 are fixedly connected, the movable plate 7 is arranged symmetrically from left to right, the front end of the movable plate 7 and the second buffer plate 4 are rotatably connected, the front side of the movable block 8 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 7, the movable block 8 and the outer side of the guide rod 9 are slidably sleeved, the guide rod 9 is arranged parallel up and down, and the guide rod 9 is used to guide the sliding of the movable block 8, one end of the first spring 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable block 8 near the damper 6, and the other end of the first spring 10 is fixedly connected to the fixing member. The outer side of the guide slide rod 9 is sleeved with a second spring 11. One end of the second spring 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable block 8 away from the damper 6, and the other end of the second spring 11 is fixedly connected to a fixing component. The second spring 11 and the outer side of the guide slide rod 9 are sleeved together. The second buffer plate 4 drives the movable plate 7 to deflect, and the movable block 8 slides on the surface of the guide slide rod 9. The first spring 10 is stretched, and the second spring 11 is compressed. The elastic force of the first spring 10 and the second spring 11, in conjunction with the damper 6, achieves secondary buffering of the impact force and limit buffering of the bridge-building machine's traveling mechanism, realizing "pre-limiting-buffering-precision". The bridge-building machine features a three-level braking protection system. The traveling mechanism frame utilizes a high-strength steel "gate" frame structure, fixed by connecting supports. An adjustable limit block with a rubber buffer pad is installed at the top, working in conjunction with limit rails on both sides of the track to restrict lateral deviation of the traveling wheels. Through a multi-stage composite buffer design, the first stage absorbs 50%–60% of the impact energy, the second stage dissipates the remaining kinetic energy, and under extreme conditions, metal plastic deformation energy-absorbing plates protect the main structure. The maximum buffer stroke is ≥200mm. During operation, the guide wheels first correct the trajectory and provide early warning, then the impact is absorbed through the elastic deformation and damping dissipation of the buffer assembly. Ultimately, the rigid contact control system cuts off the power to achieve braking, with a limit accuracy of ±2mm and a braking distance error of ≤5mm. Its innovation lies in multi-level composite buffering, dynamic guidance correction, and modular design. The buffering parameters can be customized according to the tonnage of the bridge-building machine (500t~5000t), adapting to environments from -20℃ to +60℃ and with an IP65 protection level. After design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning, it is connected to the PLC control system, which can reduce the impact load by more than 70%, control the travel deviation to ≤5mm, improve safety and reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and has broad engineering application value.

[0027] In use, the mounting base 1 is installed and fixed at the end of the guide rail to limit the travel mechanism of the bridge-building machine. When the travel mechanism moves to the end of the guide rail, the first buffer plate 3 contacts the travel mechanism, and the shock absorber 5 initially buffers the impact force. At the same time, the second buffer plate 4 is under pressure, which causes the movable plate 7 to deflect. The movable block 8 slides on the surface of the guide slide rod 9, the first spring 10 is stretched, and the second spring 11 is compressed. The elastic force of the first spring 10 and the second spring 11, together with the damper 6, achieves secondary buffering of the impact force and realizes the limiting buffering of the travel mechanism of the bridge-building machine.

[0028] Through the above steps, the shock absorber 5 initially buffers the impact force by contacting the first buffer plate 3 with the traveling mechanism. At the same time, the second buffer plate 4 is subjected to pressure, which causes the movable plate 7 to deflect. The movable block 8 slides on the surface of the guide rod 9, the first spring 10 is stretched, and the second spring 11 is compressed. The elastic force of the first spring 10 and the second spring 11, together with the damper 6, achieves secondary buffering of the impact force, so as to solve the problems of insufficient buffering capacity, low limiting accuracy, and high maintenance cost of the bridge building machine traveling limit device.
