Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering protection technology, specifically to a prefabricated tool-type steel shield at the expansion joint of a bridge crash barrier. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge crash barriers are important safety protection structures for bridges. Expansion joints within these barriers are crucial structural components, corresponding to the main bridge expansion joints. They play a vital role in the bridge's safety and durability. During use, bridges experience expansion and contraction due to factors such as temperature changes, concrete shrinkage and creep, and vehicle loads. Expansion joints provide the crash barriers with deformation space, preventing cracks and damage caused by the inability to expand and contract freely, thus ensuring the crash barriers function properly.

[0003] Appropriate protective components need to be installed at expansion joints to prevent debris from falling into the expansion joints and affecting the normal expansion and contraction of the bridge structure, while also preventing vehicles from hitting the expansion joints and causing damage.

[0004] Existing expansion joint protection structures mostly use cast-in-place concrete shields or simple metal covers. Cast-in-place concrete shields have a long construction cycle, requiring a series of procedures such as formwork, pouring, and curing, resulting in low construction efficiency and difficulty in quality control. Simple metal covers are not securely installed and are prone to loosening and falling off under external forces such as vehicle impacts and wind, resulting in poor protective effect and an inability to adapt to the deformation requirements of expansion joints, leading to a short service life.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a prefabricated tool-type steel shield at the expansion joint of the bridge crash barrier. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a prefabricated tool-type steel shield for the expansion joint of a bridge crash barrier. This tool allows for the prefabrication of steel shield components, which can then be quickly installed on-site for protection. Furthermore, it adapts to the expansion and contraction requirements of the bridge crash barrier, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a prefabricated tool-type steel cover plate at the expansion joint of a bridge crash barrier, comprising steel cover plate one and steel cover plate two:

[0008] Both the steel shielding plate one and the steel shielding plate two are provided with slots, and both the upper and lower outer sides of the steel shielding plate one and the steel shielding plate two are provided with mounting slots.

[0009] A T-shaped connecting rod is inserted into the slot. An elastic circular part is provided on the outer surface of the end of the T-shaped connecting rod. A threaded line is provided inside the elastic circular part. A threaded groove is opened on the outer surface of the T-shaped connecting rod. The T-shaped connecting rod and the elastic circular part are threadedly connected by the cooperation of the threaded line and the threaded groove.

[0010] Preferably, an outer cover plate is inserted into the inside of the mounting groove, and sealing rings are sleeved at both ends of the outer cover plate. The outer surface of the sealing rings is tightly fitted with the inside of the mounting groove, and a receiving groove is opened on the inner side of the outer cover plate, with the groove opening located inside the receiving groove.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the first steel cover plate is provided with a slot, and the end of the second steel cover plate is fixedly connected with a plug, the plug being inserted into the slot.

[0012] Preferably, a bolt is threadedly connected to the middle of the slot, and a connection port is provided at the middle of the insert block, with the bolt inserted into the interior of the connection port.

[0013] Preferably, the inner edges of the first and second steel shields are bonded with sealing strips, which are made of EPDM rubber.

[0014] Preferably, the sealing ring is made of EPDM rubber.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This type of prefabricated tool-type steel shield at the expansion joint of a bridge crash barrier involves creating corresponding installation holes in the crash barrier. The required elastic circular fittings are inserted into these holes. Steel shield one and steel shield two are joined on both sides of the expansion joint and connected by bolts. The center of the slots on steel shield one and steel shield two aligns with the installation holes in the crash barrier. The required T-shaped connecting rod is passed through the slots and connected to the elastic circular fitting through the engagement of the threaded wire and thread groove. The expansion of the elastic circular fitting ensures that the T-shaped connecting rod is tightly connected inside the installation hole. After completing the installation of steel shield one and steel shield two, the structure and its components can all be prefabricated and then installed at the expansion joint. This facilitates installation, shortens the construction cycle, and improves construction efficiency. The groove design can accommodate the expansion and contraction deformation of the expansion joint without affecting the connection between the steel shield components and the crash barrier, thus improving the stability of the connection. At the same time, sealing strips are installed on the inner edges of steel shield one and steel shield two to improve the sealing at the connection point and prevent debris from entering the expansion joint.
