Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dam construction technology, and in particular to a prefabricated protective railing for edge protection of roller-compacted concrete dam surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] During dam construction, the elevation of the concrete pouring surface increases with each pour, increasing the risk of workers operating at heights, especially during the construction of modified concrete upstream and downstream of the dam, which requires manual vibration and poses significant safety hazards. Since each layer of roller-compacted concrete is poured to a height of approximately 3 meters, and each layer of the upstream and downstream formwork is also installed to a height of 3 meters, the upstream and downstream formwork initially serves as a safety barrier to ensure the safety of workers within the pouring area. However, as the pouring height increases to 1.8 meters, the effective height of the formwork top from the pouring surface becomes less than 1.2 meters. Relevant regulations require that the height of general safety guardrails should not be less than 1.2 meters, necessitating the installation of safety protection measures on the pouring surface.

[0003] Traditional roller-compacted concrete dam face safety protection technology requires pausing work midway through pouring (after a height of 1.8m) to install protective facilities on the upstream and downstream surfaces of the dam, without encroaching on the concrete pouring area. The guardrails need to be installed on the formwork or installed by inserting reinforcing bars into the formwork, which seriously affects the continuity of construction. In addition, conventional guardrails are difficult to adapt to the vertical and inclined surfaces of the dam formwork, and cannot assist in manual vibration at the edges, resulting in unsatisfactory performance.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-12 A prefabricated guardrail for edge protection of roller-compacted concrete dam face includes roller-compacted concrete 1 already poured in the dam body and roller-compacted concrete 2 to be poured. Tilting steel formwork 3 is provided on both sides of the roller-compacted concrete 2 to be poured. The bottom of the tilting steel formwork 3 is fixed to the dam body or fixed by external support. The inner side of the tilting formwork 3 is fixed by diagonal tie rods 6. A prefabricated guardrail 7 is provided above the tilting steel formwork 3, and the guardrail 7 is set along the roller-compacted concrete 2 to be poured.

[0030] During construction, concrete is poured into the roller-compacted concrete to be poured, and the surrounding area is supported by lifting steel formwork. As the dam elevation gradually increases, construction workers are prone to working at heights during the construction process on the surface. The installation of guardrail 7 can eliminate the risk of working at heights near the edge.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lifting steel formwork 3 includes fixed rods 31 arranged in parallel on both sides, a support steel plate 32 in contact with concrete is provided on the inner fixed rod 31, and a plurality of inclined reinforcing beams 33 are provided between the two fixed rods 31. An operating platform 34 and a ladder 35 are provided below the reinforcing beams 33.

[0032] The lifting steel formwork 3 is provided with a horizontally penetrating crawling cone 36. One end of the crawling cone 36 extends outward and is fixed by a locking bolt 37, while the other end extends inward through the support steel plate 32 and is welded with a threaded steel bar 38. One end of the diagonal tie rod 6 is welded to the threaded steel bar 38, and the other end is welded and fixed to the pre-embedded steel bar 5, which is located within the poured roller-compacted concrete 1. The top and bottom of the lifting steel formwork 3 are provided with splicing connecting ear plates 311, which have multiple mounting holes 312. When two adjacent lifting steel formworks 3 are spliced, one side is fixedly connected at the mounting hole 312 by bolts, and the other side is fixedly connected by the lifting adjustment component 4.

[0033] In other words, the outer side of the tilting steel formwork 3 is fixed by the tilting adjustment piece 4 and the tilting steel formwork 3 below, while the inner side is supported and fixed by the diagonal tie rod 6. Since the dam foundation has a vertical surface and an inclined surface, the tilting steel formwork 3 on the vertical surface is set vertically, and the tilting steel formwork 3 on the inclined surface is set against the inclined surface. Regardless of whether it is an inclined surface or a vertical surface, the diagonal tie rod can support and fix the tilting steel formwork 3. When pouring concrete, as the concrete is continuously poured, the diagonal tie rod 6 can also hold the tilting steel formwork 3 on both sides to prevent the tilting steel formwork 3 from deforming and loosening.

[0034] In this embodiment, the diagonal tie rod 6 is not removed. When dismantling the lifting steel formwork 3, the end of the diagonal tie rod is cut off. In addition, the pre-embedded steel bar 5 is embedded in the poured roller-compacted concrete in advance.

[0035] Furthermore, the lifting adjustment component 4 includes a threaded rod 41, with reverse threads at both ends of the threaded rod 41, meaning the threads at both ends of the threaded rod 41 are arranged in opposite directions. Threaded sleeves 42 that mate with the reverse threads are located at both ends of the threaded rod 41. Connecting lugs 43 are located at the ends of the threaded sleeves 42, and these connecting lugs 43 mate with the upper and lower lifting steel templates 3. Additionally, symmetrically arranged rotating handles are located on the circumference of the threaded rod 41. In use, the connecting lugs 43 at both ends are first fixedly connected to the upper and lower lifting steel templates 3. Then, the threaded rod 41 is rotated. Because the threads at both ends of the threaded rod 41 are arranged in opposite directions, when the threaded rod rotates, the two adjacent upper and lower lifting steel templates move closer or further apart, facilitating the adjustment of the flatness of the support steel plate 32 surface and preventing the upper and lower support steel plates 32 from forming an angle.

[0036] Please refer to it again. Figure 7-9The guardrail 7 includes multiple parallel horizontal bars 71 and vertical bars 72. The vertical bars 72 are fixed to the rear of the horizontal bars 71 by semi-circular bends 73. The bottom of the vertical bars 72 is provided with multiple first-hole flat irons 711 and second-hole flat irons 712. In use, the guardrail 7 as a whole cooperates with the lower lifting steel template 3 through the first-hole flat irons 711 and second-hole flat irons 712, and is fixed by bolts and washers after cooperation.

[0037] Since the guardrail 7 is vertically installed on the lifting steel formwork 3, it does not occupy the area for pouring concrete on the surface of the site, thus avoiding affecting the continuity of construction.

[0038] The bottommost crossbar 71 is provided with a strip-shaped slide rail 713, and a sliding assembly 9 is provided inside the strip-shaped slide rail 713. A vibrator 8 is provided below the sliding assembly 9. The rod tube of the vibrator 8 extends upward through the sliding assembly 9. The vibrator 8 and the rod tube can move along the crossbar 71 through the sliding assembly 9.

[0039] The actual width between the two guardrails 7 is tens of meters. After the concrete is poured, the middle part is compacted by large mechanical vibration (vibrator). However, in actual use, the edge of the concrete slab (near the lifting steel formwork 3) is equipped with many diagonal tie rods 6, which makes it difficult for the vibrator to get close enough to meet the vibration requirements. At this time, manual vibration is required. However, due to the large area of ​​concrete pouring, manual holding of the vibrator for a long time will seriously deplete physical strength and affect the construction progress. In order to save manual labor by pulling the vibrator and the rod, a sliding component 9 is installed in the lower crossbar. When using it, the construction personnel only need to hold the vibrator 8. When it is necessary to move forward or backward, the rod moves with the crossbar through the sliding component, avoiding dragging the rod behind and effectively saving physical strength. Moreover, the whole can be adjusted according to the vibration position to meet the needs of manual vibration.

[0040] Specifically, the sliding assembly 9 includes two I-shaped sliding seats 91, which are arranged opposite to each other. The opposite sides of the sliding seats 91 are provided with semi-circular slots 92. Rollers 93 are provided on the outside of the sliding seats 91. The inner wall of the strip-shaped slide 713 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the rollers. Multiple tension springs 96 are provided between the two sliding seats 91. The rod tube of the vibrator 8 is clamped in the two semi-circular slots 92 by the tension springs 96.

[0041] When in use, the vibrator 8 is first passed upward between the two sliding seats 91. After passing through, the two sliding seats 91 hold the vibrator through the tension of multiple tension springs 96. During vibration, the construction worker holds the vibrator to vibrate the concrete. When it is necessary to move forward to change the vibration position, the worker only needs to pull the vibrator. At this time, the two sliding seats 91 will move along the crossbar 71 through the rollers 93 to achieve the vibration needs at different positions. In other words, most of the weight of the vibrator is protected by the sliding seats, without the need for other workers to assist and support it, thus saving manual labor.

[0042] To facilitate adjustment of the extension length of the vibrator 8, the sliding assembly 9 also includes an adjustment component, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 12 The adjustment assembly includes two sets of hinge rods 94, one upper and one lower. Each set of hinge rods 94 consists of two symmetrical rods. One end of each set of hinge rods 94 is hinged to the adjusting pressure rod 95, and the other end is hinged to the outer wall of the sliding seat 91.

[0043] In other words, the angle of the hinge rod 94 can be adjusted according to the position of the adjusting rod 95. When the adjusting rod 95 is pressed towards the sliding seat 91, the included angle between the two hinge rods 94 in the same group increases. After the angle increases, it pushes the two sliding seats 91 to move in opposite directions. At this time, the two sliding seats 91 separate. The internal rod tube is not clamped and constrained. At this time, pulling the rod tube can adjust the extension length of the vibrator 8 to meet the vibration at a more distant position. After the position of the rod tube is adjusted, the pressing adjusting rod 95 is released. At this time, the tension of the tension spring 96 makes the included angle between the two hinge rods smaller, and the adjusted rod tube is clamped again.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, rubber protrusions can also be provided inside the semi-circular slot 92 to increase the constraint force on the rod tube; in addition, the adjustment components can also be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding seat to facilitate smooth separation of the two sliding seats and meet the usage requirements.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
