Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge pier maintenance technology, specifically to a bridge pier protection device for bridge pier maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge piers are an important component of bridges, acting like the "legs" of the bridge. They play a crucial supporting role in the bridge structure. As the intermediate support structure of multi-span bridges, bridge piers not only bear various vertical and horizontal loads such as vehicle loads and pedestrian loads transmitted from the superstructure, but also withstand wind force, water pressure, ice pressure, and ship impact force. They reliably transfer these loads to the foundation, ensuring the stability and safety of the bridge and enabling it to cross obstacles such as rivers and valleys.

[0003] Existing bridge pier protection technologies generally suffer from problems such as inconvenient installation and disassembly, poor structural stability, and insufficient protective adaptability. Most traditional protection devices have complex component splicing methods, requiring construction personnel to spend a lot of time measuring, adjusting, and splicing during installation. This not only results in low installation efficiency but also easily leads to splicing errors, affecting the overall performance of the protection device. Disassembly is also cumbersome due to unreasonable structural design, consuming a lot of manpower and resources when maintaining or replacing bridge pier protection devices, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid deployment and recovery in different bridge pier maintenance scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bridge pier protection device for bridge pier maintenance, so as to solve the problem of bridge pier maintenance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pier protection device for pier maintenance, comprising a main body of the protection device, a splicing collar fixedly connected to one side of the main body of the protection device, and a mating block fixedly connected to one side of the main body of the protection device.

[0006] A docking collar is fixedly connected to one side of the main body of the protective device, a snap-fit ​​baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the main body of the protective device, a reinforcing plate is movably connected to one side of the snap-fit ​​baffle, and a reinforcing plate is movably connected to one side of the main body of the protective device.

[0007] A fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the splicing collar, a nut is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block, a splicing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the main body of the protective device, and a snap-fit ​​opening is provided on one side of the main body of the protective device.

[0008] Preferably, one side of the splicing collar has a splicing opening, and the size of the splicing opening and the splicing rod are matched. This matching design allows for quick and accurate positioning during installation. Construction workers do not need complex measurements and adjustments; they simply insert the splicing rod into the splicing opening to complete the initial splicing. This design significantly shortens installation time and reduces construction difficulty, making it particularly suitable for the rapid assembly of multiple protective devices. It also ensures the tightness of the spliced ​​parts, preventing misalignment under external forces such as water flow impact.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded rod is movably connected to one side of the nut, and the threaded rod is connected between the nut and the fixing block. This movable connection between the threaded rod and the nut, combined with the support of the fixing block, forms a reliable fastening structure. During construction, the tightness between the splicing collar and the main body of the protective device can be easily adjusted by rotating the threaded rod. Compared to other connection methods, this threaded connection has the advantages of simple operation and adjustable fastening force. Even if loosening occurs after long-term use, it can be quickly re-tightened to ensure that the connection part of the protective device remains stable at all times.

[0010] Preferably, the nut is connected to a fixing block and a splicing collar, with the fixing blocks symmetrically arranged about the vertical center line of the nut. This symmetrical arrangement of the fixing blocks ensures that the nut is evenly stressed, preventing deformation or damage to the nut, splicing collar, and other components due to excessive local stress. This symmetrical structural design enhances the mechanical properties of the connection, effectively preventing the nut from loosening under complex external forces such as water flow impact and ship collisions, ensuring the overall stability of the protective device and extending its service life.

[0011] Preferably, one side of the splicing insert has a socket opening, and the size of the socket opening and the threaded rod are matched. This matching size provides a precise insertion channel for the threaded rod, ensuring it can accurately pass through the splicing insert and connect to the nut. This design not only guarantees the accuracy of the connection but also ensures uniform force on the threaded rod during tightening, further enhancing the connection strength of the spliced ​​joint. It also facilitates operation by construction personnel, avoiding insecure connections due to insertion deviations.

[0012] Preferably, one side of the docking collar has a docking opening, and the docking opening and the docking block are structurally compatible. This design, where the docking opening and the docking block fit together, enables rapid and stable docking between adjacent protective device bodies. During the assembly of the protective device, by inserting the docking block into the docking opening, multiple protective units can be quickly joined to form a complete protective system. This docking structure effectively transfers stress, enhances the overall rigidity of the protective device, and allows each component to work together to withstand external impacts, thus improving the protective effect.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention features a splicing collar and its splicing opening, which match the splicing rod on the main body of the protective device. Simultaneously, the docking opening on the collar fits the docking block structure, allowing for rapid initial positioning and splicing of components during the installation of the pier protective device. The cooperation of the nut, threaded rod, and fixing block enables the spliced ​​components to be tightened by rotating the threaded rod. Disassembly is performed by simply reversing the operation, eliminating the need for complex tools and procedures. This significantly improves installation and disassembly efficiency, facilitating rapid deployment and retrieval of the device in various pier maintenance scenarios.

[0015] This invention uses symmetrically arranged fixing blocks to ensure even force distribution on the nut. Combined with the matching design of the threaded rod and the splicing plug opening, it can tightly fix the splicing collar to the main body of the protective device, enhancing the overall structure's impact and vibration resistance. The snap-fit ​​baffle and the movable reinforcing plate allow for flexible adjustment of the reinforcement position and angle according to the actual protection needs of the bridge pier, providing protective support to the pier from multiple directions. This effectively resists external forces such as water flow impact and floating object collisions, ensuring the protective device remains stable during long-term use and significantly improving the protection effect on the bridge pier.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a pier protection device for pier maintenance includes a main body 1, a splicing collar 2 fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1, a docking block 6 fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1, and a docking collar 7 fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, a splicing opening 3 is provided on one side of the splicing collar 2, and the size of the splicing opening 3 and the splicing rod 11 are matched. This matching design allows for quick and accurate positioning during installation. Construction personnel do not need complex measurements and adjustments; they simply insert the splicing rod 11 into the splicing opening 3 to complete the initial splicing. This design significantly shortens installation time and reduces construction difficulty, making it particularly suitable for the rapid assembly of multiple protective devices. It also ensures the tightness of the spliced ​​parts, preventing misalignment under external forces such as water flow impact. A threaded rod 10 is movably connected to one side of the nut 9, and the threaded rod 10 is connected between the nut 9 and the fixing block 8. This movable connection between the threaded rod 10 and the nut 9, combined with the support of the fixing block 8, forms a reliable fastening structure. During construction, the tightness between the splicing collar 2 and the main body 1 of the protective device can be easily adjusted by rotating the threaded rod 10. Compared to other connection methods, this threaded connection has the advantages of simple operation and adjustable tightening force. Even if it becomes loose after long-term use, it can be quickly tightened again to ensure that the connection part of the protective device always remains stable.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, a snap-fit ​​baffle 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1 of the protective device, and a reinforcing plate 5 is movably connected to one side of the snap-fit ​​baffle 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, the nut 9 is connected to the fixing block 8 and the splicing collar 2. The fixing block 8 is symmetrically arranged with the vertical center line of the nut 9 as the axis of symmetry. The symmetrical arrangement of the fixing blocks 8 allows the nut 9 to evenly distribute pressure when under force, avoiding deformation or damage to components such as the nut 9 and the splicing collar 2 due to excessive local force. This symmetrical structural design enhances the mechanical performance of the connection part. Under the action of complex external forces such as water flow impact and ship collision, it can effectively prevent the nut 9 from loosening, ensure the stability of the overall structure of the protective device, and extend its service life. A sleeve opening 12 is opened on one side of the splicing rod 11, and the sleeve opening 12 and the threaded rod 10 are matched in size. The matching size of the sleeve opening 12 and the threaded rod 10 provides a precise insertion channel for the threaded rod 10, ensuring that the threaded rod 10 can accurately pass through the splicing rod 11 and connect with the nut 9. This design not only ensures the accuracy of the connection, but also makes the threaded rod 10 subjected to uniform force during the tightening process, further improving the connection strength of the splicing part. At the same time, it facilitates the operation of construction personnel and avoids the problem of weak connection caused by insertion deviation.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, a reinforcing plate 5 is movably connected to one side of the protective device body 1, a fixing block 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the splicing collar 2, a nut 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block 8, a splicing rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective device body 1, and a snap-fit ​​opening 14 is provided on one side of the protective device body 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, a docking opening 13 is provided on one side of the docking collar 7, and the docking opening 13 and the docking plug 6 are structurally compatible. This design, where the docking opening 13 and the docking plug 6 are structurally compatible, enables rapid and stable docking between adjacent protective device bodies 1. During the assembly of the protective device, by inserting the docking plug 6 into the docking opening 13, multiple protective units can be quickly joined to form a complete protective system. This docking structure effectively transfers stress, enhances the overall rigidity of the protective device, and allows each component to work together to withstand external impacts, thus improving the protective effect.

[0029] Working principle: When the user needs to use the pier protection device for pier maintenance, the main body 1 of the protection device is transported to the pier maintenance site and the installation location is determined. The splicing collar 2, docking block 6, docking collar 7, snap-fit ​​baffle 4, splicing rod 11, and snap-fit ​​opening 14, which are fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1 of the protective device, have all been installed and debugged before leaving the factory. Check the splicing opening 3 on the side of the splicing collar 2, the docking opening 13 on the side of the docking collar 7, and the sleeve opening 12 on the side of the splicing rod 11 to ensure that there is no damage and the opening is in good condition. The splicing collar 2 with the fixing block 8 and nut 9 is initially spliced ​​with the splicing rod 11 on the main body 1 of the protective device through the splicing opening 3. Taking advantage of the matching size of the two, quick positioning is achieved. The docking block 6 on the main body 1 of another protective device is inserted into the docking opening 13 of the docking collar 7. Since the docking opening 13 and the docking block 6 fit each other, the initial docking between adjacent main bodies 1 of the protective device can be completed to form the basic frame of the protective device. The threaded rod 10 is passed through the sleeve opening 12 of the splicing rod 11 and threadedly connected to the nut 9 connected to the fixing block 8 on the splicing collar 2. Because nut 9 is connected to splicing collar 2 via fixing block 8, and fixing block 8 is symmetrically arranged with the vertical center line of nut 9 as the axis of symmetry, rotating threaded rod 10 can tightly fix splicing collar 2 to the main body 1 of protective device, ensuring the stability of the connection. Repeat the above steps to complete the tightening operation at all splicing points, so that the entire frame of the protective device is firmly connected. According to the actual shape and stress of the pier, the reinforcing plate 5 is adjusted to a suitable reinforcing angle and position through the movable connection with snap-fit ​​baffle 4. Then, the reinforcing plate 5 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​opening 14 of the main body 1 of the protective device, and the reinforcement is adjusted from multiple directions. The bridge piers are reinforced and protected to enhance the protective effect of the protective device. After installation, a comprehensive inspection of the entire bridge pier protective device is carried out to check whether the connections of components such as splicing collar 2, docking block 6, and docking collar 7 are firm, whether the tightness of threaded rod 10 and nut 9 meets the standards, and whether the installation position of reinforcing plate 5 is reasonable. During subsequent use, the protective device is inspected regularly. If any components are found to be loose or damaged, the relevant components can be disassembled and repaired or replaced by turning threaded rod 10. The structural design of splicing opening 3 and docking opening 13 makes maintenance work convenient and quick.
