Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction, and in particular to a bridge bearing slippage monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge bearings are a crucial component connecting the superstructure and superstructure of a bridge. During operation, the upper cover plate of the bridge bearing will slip and deform relative to the lower cover plate and the pier to accommodate temperature changes. Whether the bearing slips and deforms normally within the design limits during operation is one of the issues that needs to be addressed during bridge operation and maintenance. Traditional techniques for monitoring the slippage of bridge bearings require using elevation surveying equipment to reach the bearing location and then having personnel measure it with a ruler, which is quite inconvenient.

[0003] Patent CN202411660832.6 discloses an automatic monitoring device for bridge bearing slippage, relating to the field of bridge inspection technology. The device includes a bridge pier, with a sliding component and a monitoring component fixedly connected to its outer surface. The monitoring component includes a mounting frame and a fixing rod. In this invention, a visual sensor and a displacement sensor can detect the slippage of the bridge bearing body in different directions using different methods as it rotates with the support ring. The annular convex lens has a thicker middle section and thinner edges, thus magnifying the main body of the bridge bearing. The convex lens further magnifies the real image formed by the annular convex lens, ensuring the final image is within the range captured by the visual sensor and appears as an upright dashed line. However, its structure is complex, installation and maintenance are difficult, and it relies on a power supply. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a bridge bearing slippage monitoring device that improves safety, ease of operation, and cost optimization.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A bridge bearing slippage monitoring device, comprising:

[0007] Upper cover plate and lower cover plate of the support;

[0008] Left-side conversion assembly: One end of the first conversion steel wire is fixed to the left side of the upper cover plate of the support, passes around the first fixed pulley and the second fixed pulley fixed to the top surface of the pier in sequence, and the end is connected to the first lead block suspended on the surface of the pier;

[0009] Right-side conversion assembly: One end of the second conversion steel wire is fixed to the right side of the upper cover plate of the support, passes around the third fixed pulley fixed to the top surface of the pier, and the end is connected to the second lead block suspended on the surface of the pier;

[0010] When the cover plate of the support slides, the amount of sliding is calculated by the vertical height difference between the first lead block and the second lead block.

[0011] Furthermore, the first fixed pulley, the second fixed pulley, and the third fixed pulley are fixed to the top surface of the bridge pier by pre-embedded bolts or welding.

[0012] Furthermore, the weights of the first lead block and the second lead block ensure that the first and second conversion wires are always under tension.

[0013] Furthermore, the surfaces of the first and second lead blocks are provided with scale marks or reflective markings for manual or optical instrument measurement of height differences.

[0014] Furthermore, the first and second conversion steel wires are high-strength steel wires with a diameter range of 1-5mm and are galvanized for rust prevention.

[0015] Furthermore, the sliding amount 'a' of the upper cover plate of the support and the height difference L between the first lead block and the second lead block satisfy the following relationship: sliding amount = L / 2.

[0016] Furthermore, the surface of the pier (8) is provided with a vertical scale for directly reading the positions of the first lead block and the second lead block.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a wireless transmission module, which connects to the elevation difference measurement device for real-time remote transmission of slip data.

[0018] Furthermore, the arrangement of the first and second fixed pulleys forms a double pulley system, which is used to amplify the moving distance of the first lead block.

[0019] Furthermore, dampers are provided at the bottom of the first and second lead blocks to reduce swaying errors caused by wind loads.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0021] (1) Improved safety. By converting the slippage into a measurement of the height difference of lead blocks on the pier surface, personnel are no longer required to climb to the support position, reducing the risk of working at height.

[0022] (2) Ease of operation. The symmetrical pulley system and lead block system can be used to directly calculate the slippage by measuring only the vertical height difference of the lead blocks, which simplifies the operation process.

[0023] (3) Cost optimization. Compared with high-precision sensors, the use of mechanical structures (steel wire, pulleys, lead blocks) significantly reduces equipment costs and simplifies maintenance. Attached Figure Description
