[0018] This application provides a temporary protective fence for box girders, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the temporary protective fence for the box girder includes two risers 100, two ropes 200, and a protective net 300.
[0019] Specifically, two risers 100 are arranged in parallel, allowing the vertical reinforcing bars 900 along the edge of the box girder to extend from the bottom. Both ends of two ropes 200 are fixed to the vertical reinforcing bars 900 along the edge of the box girder. The two ropes 200 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the risers 100 and are connected to both risers 100, forming a protective area. A protective net 300 is located within the protective area, and its four sides are connected to the two risers 100 and the two ropes 200, respectively.
[0020] For example, the rope 200 is a steel wire rope, which is fixedly connected to the two risers 100 by fasteners 800.
[0021] After the precast box girder is hoisted, a temporary protective fence is installed along the vertical reinforcing bars 900 on the edge of the box girder, and two ropes 200 are used to secure the temporary protective fence. A protective net 300 effectively prevents workers from entering the precast box girder area. Therefore, this temporary protective fence effectively protects construction workers and eliminates the risk of falls from height.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the riser 100 has at least one slot 110. When the vertical reinforcing bar 900 along the edge of the box girder extends into the riser 100, the vertical reinforcing bar 900 along the edge of the box girder covers the slot 110 on the riser 100. Figure 3 As shown, the temporary protective fence for the box girder also includes multiple U-bolts 400. Each slot 110 is equipped with a U-bolt 400 to fix the riser 100 to the vertical steel bar 900 on the edge of the box girder.
[0023] When installing the temporary protective fence for the box girder, firstly, the vertical reinforcing bars 900 along the edge of the box girder extend into the columns from the bottom of the two risers 100. Then, U-bolts 400 are used to fix the risers 100 and the vertical reinforcing bars 900 along the edge of the box girder through the slots 110. This structure allows the temporary protective fence to be more firmly connected to the box girder. Furthermore, after the wet joint pouring, prestressing tensioning, and other construction operations on the box girder are completed, when permanent protective structure construction is required, the U-bolts 400 can be removed and the ropes 200 can be removed from the vertical reinforcing bars 900 along the edge of the box girder, allowing the temporary protective fence to be recycled for future use.
[0024] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the temporary protective fence for the box girder also includes a mounting bracket 500 and an infrared alarm 600. The mounting bracket 500 is detachably connected to two risers 100. The infrared alarm 600 is connected to the mounting bracket 500 and is used to sound an alarm when a worker approaches the protective netting 300.
[0025] The infrared alarm 600 can detect workers approaching the protective net 300 and issue an alarm to stop the workers from moving outwards, further ensuring the safety of construction workers.
[0026] Figure 1The specific structure of the mounting bracket 500 is shown. The mounting bracket 500 includes a horizontal tube 510, a connector 520, and a support platform 530. The two ends of the horizontal tube 510 are detachably connected to the top ends of two vertical tubes 100. The connector 520 is slidably connected to the horizontal tube 510 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the vertical tubes 100. The support platform 530 is connected to the connector 520. The infrared alarm 600 is mounted on the support platform 530.
[0027] When installing the temporary protective fence on the box girder, firstly, extend the vertical steel bar 900 along the edge of the box girder into the riser 100 from the bottom of the riser 100. Secondly, fix both ends of the two ropes 200 to the vertical steel bar 900 along the edge of the box girder. Then, connect both ends of the horizontal pipe 510 to the top of the two risers 100. Slide the connector 520 to the horizontal pipe 510 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the riser 100. Finally, install the infrared alarm 600 on the support platform 530.
[0028] When removing the temporary protective fence from the box girder, first remove the infrared alarm 600 from the support platform 530, then remove the two ends of the two ropes 200 from the vertical steel bars 900 along the edge of the box girder, then remove the two ends of the horizontal pipe 510 from the top of the two vertical pipes 100, and remove the connector 520 from the horizontal pipe 510. Finally, detach the bottom of the vertical pipe 100 from the vertical steel bars 900 along the edge of the box girder.
[0029] Since the connector 520 can be slidably connected to the horizontal pipe 510 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the riser 100, when the temporary protective fence of the box girder is installed on the box girder, the installer can adjust the height of the connector 520 according to the height of the construction workers and the structure of the box girder, so that the infrared alarm 600 is in a position that can effectively detect workers approaching the protective net 300.
[0030] For example, the two ends of the horizontal tube 510 are connected to the top ends of the two vertical tubes 100 by bolts and nuts.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connector 520 has a groove 521 extending in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the riser 100, and the horizontal pipe 510 has a mounting hole corresponding to the groove 521. The temporary protective fence for the box girder also includes a fastening assembly 700, which passes through the groove 521 and the mounting hole to fix the connector 520 and the horizontal pipe 510.
[0032] When it is necessary to adjust the height of the connector 520, first remove the fastening assembly 700 or operate the fastening assembly 700 to release the fixed state between the connector 520 and the horizontal tube 510, then move the connector 520 to the set height, and finally use the fastening assembly 700 to fix the connector 520 and the horizontal tube 510.
[0033] For example, the fastening assembly 700 includes a bolt and a wing nut, the bolt passing through a groove 521 and a mounting hole, and the wing nut being mounted on the bolt.
