Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bridge erection, specifically a tadpole-shaped bridge erection machine. Background Technology

[0002] China's bridge construction industry is developing rapidly, with various new technologies, processes, and methods being increasingly applied, especially in urban bridge construction. The challenges of limited space, compact piers, long routes, tight schedules, and high construction quality place higher demands on bridge erection equipment. Specifically, this involves large-scale bridge erection machines that need to be able to safely and reliably traverse spans and erect beams atop piers. In urban light rail bridge construction, the high-position tensioning and integral beam-dropping method is often used for spans under 35m, and these are simply supported bridges. These bridges have many spans, requiring high efficiency, and there are no pre-embedded components in the piers or bridge deck. Furthermore, during erection, the front support leg can only stand on the narrow pier top and requires assistance for the bridge erection machine to traverse the spans. Simultaneously, the machine needs to be moved and hoisted at this support leg, making the process extremely difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to design a bridge erection machine that is simple and efficient to operate across spans, has safe and reliable support leg positioning, and allows for convenient and quick hoisting and relocation for such projects.

[0003] Currently, existing bridge erecting machines typically employ a design with the guide beam positioned in front and the main box girder positioned behind or in the middle, along with front auxiliary legs. The front and middle outriggers are anchored at pre-embedded anchor points on the pier tops. This design suffers from low span-crossing efficiency, complex outrigger construction, and large space requirements, impacting hoisting and transport, and involving numerous outrigger relocation procedures. Pre-embedding is required on half of the pier body, with extremely high requirements for pre-embedding. Improper operation or insufficiently secure pre-embedding can affect the stability of the outriggers, potentially leading to major safety accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new type of bridge erecting machine to address the difficulties in constructing such bridges. Utility Model Content

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tadpole-shaped bridge erecting machine. This type of bridge erecting machine adjusts the relative position of the guide beam and the main box girder, places the load-bearing main box girder in front, and then sets a safe and reliable front fixed support leg station on half of the pier body. Then, two large cranes are used as counterweights to achieve the requirements of safe bridge erection and rapid span crossing.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] This utility model provides a tadpole-shaped bridge erecting machine. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 It includes: front fixed outrigger 1, front middle outrigger 2, rear middle outrigger 3, rear auxiliary outrigger 4, main box girder 5, rear guide beam 6, crane 7, end hanger 8, span hanger 9, and hanging and transporting electric hoist 10.

[0034] The upper part of the front fixed support leg 1 is bolted to the front end of the main box girder 5. The upper sliding plates of the front middle support leg 2 and the rear middle support leg 3 are close to the lower part of the main box girder 5 track to support the main box girder 5. The lower part is supported on the beam surface by the lifting cylinder. The upper part of the rear auxiliary support leg 4 is connected to the lower chord of the rear guide beam 6.

[0035] The main box girder 5 is located at the front end of the bridge erecting machine and is a rectangular box girder structure. The upper part of the main box girder 5 is equipped with a track for the crane 7 to travel on, and the lower part of the main box girder 5 is equipped with a sliding track for the main box girder 5 to move. The guide beam 6 is installed at the tail of the main box girder 5.

[0036] The overhead crane 7 is located on the upper track of the main box girder 5 and can travel along the longitudinal track of the main box girder and guide beam along the entire length of the bridge.

[0037] The main box girder 5 is equipped with an end hanger 8 and an inner span hanger 9 suspended from the hanging duct, and a hanging and reversing electric hoist 10 is suspended from the moving plate of the main box girder 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the lower part of the front fixed support leg 1 is supported on the top of the bridge pier or on the surface of the erected beam. The internal structure of the front fixed support leg 1 has a large space, which facilitates unloading and hoisting.

[0039] Furthermore, the lower part of the rear auxiliary support leg 4 is supported on the already erected beam surface;

[0040] Furthermore, the guide beam 6 has an outer contour similar to the main box beam 5, but is only provided for the passageway;

[0041] Furthermore, the overhead crane 7 consists of a front overhead crane 7-1 and a rear overhead crane 7-2. The front overhead crane 7-1 is connected to the front suspension 8, and the rear overhead crane 7-2 is connected to the end suspension 8. At the same time, it lifts the entire span of concrete beam and places it on the bridge pier to form a bridge.

[0042] Furthermore, the front middle support leg 2 and the rear middle support leg 3 are connected to a longitudinal movement mechanism 23-1, a transverse movement mechanism 23-2 and a lifting mechanism 23-3;

[0043] 1) Beam erection condition:

[0044] The main box girder 5 of the bridge erecting machine is supported by the front fixed support leg 1 and the front middle support leg 2. The front fixed support leg 1 is supported on the front part of the current span pier top, and the front middle support leg 2 is supported on the bridge surface. The longitudinal movement mechanism 23-1, the transverse movement mechanism 23-2, and the lifting mechanism 23-3 on the front middle support leg 2 and the rear middle support leg 3 are used to adjust the state of the main box girder 5, so that the bridge alignment can be adjusted more easily during the girder erection. The overhead crane 7-1 lifts the segment concrete beams from under the bridge in sequence and suspends them in the suspension channels of the main box girder 5 through the inner span suspension 9 or the end suspension 8. The entire span segment concrete beams are assembled and tensioned into a whole span beam. Then the front overhead crane 7-1 is connected to the front end suspension 8, and the rear overhead crane 7-2 is connected to the end suspension 8. At the same time, the whole span concrete beam is lifted and placed on the bridge pier to form the bridge.

[0045] 2) Through holes for the entire machine:

[0046] After the current bridge construction is completed, the electric hoist 10 will move all the inner hanging 9s under the bridge to the bottom of the bridge. The front crane 7-1 will move the end hanging 8s to the back of the front fixed middle support leg 1 and stack them to support the rear auxiliary support leg 4 so that it acts on the already erected beam surface. The rear crane 7-2 will then move the rear middle support leg to the back of the front middle support leg 2 and support it closely.

[0047] The front middle support leg 2 retracts the lifting mechanism 23-3 to make enough space between it and the main box girder 5 track. The front crane 7-1 is used to move it to the position close to the end hanging 8 for support and installation, and the front fixed support leg 1 is lifted off the top surface of the pier, and then supported by the front middle support leg 2 and the rear middle support leg 3.

[0048] The two overhead cranes 7 move to the top of the rear middle outrigger 3 as counterweights, retract the rear auxiliary outrigger 4 and lift off the ground. The longitudinal movement mechanism 23-1 on the front middle outrigger 2 and the rear outrigger 3 is activated, and the bridge erecting machine is pushed to the next span. During this process, the two overhead cranes 8 stand directly above the middle outrigger 3 as counterweights until the front fixed outrigger 1 reaches the top of the pier. The attitude of the whole machine is adjusted by the transverse movement mechanism 23-2 and the lifting mechanism 23-3 to support the front fixed outrigger 1.

[0049] Using the front crane 7-1, the end hoist 8 was moved to the bottom of the bridge, and the next span of the bridge erection cycle began.

[0050] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way.
