Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of highway bridge design technology, specifically to a prefabricated highway bridge structure based on modular replaceable nodes. Background Technology

[0002] Prefabricated highway bridges are a type of under-deck steel truss bridge that can be quickly assembled and disassembled. When the bridge deck of a prefabricated highway bridge is connected, the connection points of the bridge deck are supported on the supporting structure on the pier. After long-term rain exposure, water leakage is likely to occur at the connection points of the bridge deck. The leaked rainwater will flow onto the supporting structure, which will lead to corrosion of the supporting structure and affect its stability.

[0003] The prior art proposes a Chinese patent with publication number CN216194028U to solve the aforementioned technical problems. The technical solution disclosed in this patent document is as follows: A prefabricated highway bridge connection structure includes: beams, a guide channel, and a buffer plate; the beam ends are provided with a connecting ring surface, and the ends of two beams are connected, forming a semi-circular annular groove. The guide channel is located in the semi-circular annular groove. A limiting groove is provided on the connecting ring surface, and a pin is provided at the bottom of the guide channel. The pin is inserted into the limiting groove. By setting a guide channel between two prefabricated beams and a limiting plate at the top of the guide channel, and using concrete to fix the ear plate at the top of the limiting plate to the steel reinforcement on the beam, rainwater seeping down the bridge deck will flow into the guide channel and then into the drainage pipe through the guide pipe at the bottom of the guide channel, thereby achieving drainage at the bridge deck connection and preventing rainwater seepage.

[0004] However, in actual use, rainwater can wash away the bridge surface and carry away gravel and other debris, clogging the openings and preventing rainwater from draining properly, which can easily lead to water accumulation on the bridge. Utility Model Content

By designing an integrated drainage and dredging system including structures such as guide channels, buffer plates, and dredging devices, the system utilizes the pressure generated by vehicle movement as a power source to achieve automatic dredging of drainage holes (through holes) without manual intervention. At the same time, the modular design allows the dredging device to be detachably connected to the main bridge structure, facilitating installation and replacement, and effectively improving the reliability and maintenance convenience of the bridge drainage system.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a prefabricated highway bridge structure based on modular replaceable nodes, including beams and slabs;

[0007] A flow channel is formed in the inner wall of the beam or slab;

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide channel, and a guide bucket is connected to the top of the drain pipe.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 2. This utility model cleverly utilizes the pressure generated by vehicle movement as the power for clearing blockages, eliminating the need for additional power devices, thus saving energy consumption. Furthermore, the repeated passage of vehicles creates a continuous impact, significantly improving the clearing effect and adapting to the actual use scenarios of bridges.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a prefabricated highway bridge structure based on modular replaceable nodes, including beams and slabs 1;

[0034] A flow channel 6 is formed on the inner wall of beam 1;

[0035] A buffer plate 2 is installed at the top of the inner wall of the guide channel 6, and a through hole 3 is started at the top of the buffer plate 2.

[0036] The C-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide channel 6;

[0037] A detachable unblocking device 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 4. The unblocking device 7 is used to impact and unblock the through hole 3. The unblocking device 7 includes a vertical cylinder 11. A piston 15 is movably connected to the inner wall of the vertical cylinder 11. A return spring 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the piston 15. A piston rod 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston 15. A lower pressure plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston rod 12. A vertical one-way valve pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical cylinder 11. A horizontal one-way valve 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the vertical cylinder 11 near the bottom end. An impact nozzle 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal one-way valve 17.

[0038] Specifically, by setting up a buffer plate 2 and a dredging device 7, the pressure generated by vehicle movement drives the impact nozzle 13 to repeatedly impact the through hole 3 with airflow. When the through hole 3 is blocked, it can automatically clear the blockage, avoiding the tediousness and high cost of manual dredging, ensuring that rainwater on the bridge surface is discharged in time, and reducing the damage of water accumulation to the bridge structure.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a technical solution: the top end of the impact nozzle 13 is located below the through hole 3, and the piston rod 12 movably passes through the top of the vertical cylinder 11. A valve core 19 is movably connected to the inner wall of the vertical one-way valve pipe 18, and an internal spring 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve core 19. The top end of the internal spring 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical cylinder 11.

[0041] The outer wall of the impact nozzle 13 is fixedly connected to the vertical cylinder 11 by a connecting rod.

[0042] Specifically, when the through hole 3 is blocked, rainwater cannot flow into the guide channel 6, thus avoiding the obstruction of the airflow from the impact nozzle 13 and ensuring the effectiveness of the unblocking process. At the same time, the one-way design of the vertical one-way valve pipe 18 and the horizontal one-way valve 17 ensures that the compression and discharge of air in the vertical cylinder 11 are carried out in an orderly manner, thereby improving the working stability of the unblocking device 7.

[0048] Specifically, the unblocking device 7 is detachably connected to the U-shaped plate 4 via the mounting ring 14, such as by bolts or rivets. When the unblocking device 7 malfunctions, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced without large-scale dismantling of the main bridge structure, thus reducing maintenance difficulty and cost and adapting to the modular characteristics of prefabricated bridges.

[0049] Example 4

[0050] The fourth embodiment of this utility model provides a technical solution: connection between the C-shaped plate 4 and the inner wall of the guide channel 6: the two sides of the C-shaped plate 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide channel 6 by expansion bolts, and the expansion bolts are evenly distributed along the height direction of the C-shaped plate 4 to ensure a firm connection.

[0051] Connection between guide bucket 9 and inner wall of guide channel 6: The outer periphery of guide bucket 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of guide channel 6 by welding or bolts. When welding, full welding process is used to ensure sealing and prevent rainwater leakage. When bolted, the outer periphery of guide bucket 9 is provided with flange edge, which is fixed to the inner wall of guide channel 6 by bolts.

[0052] Connection between buffer plate 2 and the top of the inner wall of guide channel 6: The edge of buffer plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of guide channel 6 by countersunk bolts. The head of the countersunk bolts is embedded in buffer plate 2 to avoid affecting vehicle driving.

[0053] Structure of the transverse one-way valve 17: The transverse one-way valve 17 is equipped with an elastic valve plate. One end of the valve plate is fixed to the inner wall of the transverse one-way valve 17, and the other end can swing freely. When the vertical cylinder 11 draws in air, the valve plate closes under the action of air pressure difference, preventing external air from entering through the transverse one-way valve 17. When the vertical cylinder 11 expels air, the valve plate is pushed open by the airflow, allowing compressed air to pass through.

[0054] Working principle:

[0055] In this prefabricated highway bridge structure based on modular replaceable nodes, the various components work together to achieve drainage and blockage clearing functions. The specific principle is as follows:

[0056] Rainwater from the bridge deck flows into the guide channel 6 through the through hole 3. The rainwater then collects in the guide channel 6 and is guided by the guide bucket 9 to the drainage pipe 8, and finally discharged from the bridge structure through the drainage pipe 8.

[0057] When the through hole 3 becomes blocked, pressure is generated on the buffer plate 2 during vehicle operation. The buffer plate 2 deforms under pressure and presses down on the lower pressure plate 10. After the lower pressure plate 10 is subjected to force, it applies pressure to the piston rod 12, pushing the piston rod 12 to move downward, which in turn drives the piston 15 to move downward on the inner wall of the vertical cylinder 11, compressing the air on the inner wall of the vertical cylinder 11. The compressed air is delivered to the impact nozzle 13 through the transverse one-way valve 17. The impact nozzle 13 ejects the compressed air in the form of a high-speed airflow, impacting the through hole 3 and clearing the through hole 3.

[0058] As vehicles repeatedly drive across the bridge surface, they exert repeated pressure on the buffer plate 2, causing the lower pressure plate 10, piston rod 12, and piston 15 to move repeatedly. The air inside the vertical cylinder 11 is repeatedly compressed, and the impact nozzle 13 continuously ejects high-speed airflow, repeatedly impacting the through hole 3, which significantly improves the unblocking effect.

[0059] When the through hole 3 is blocked, rainwater cannot flow into the guide channel 6, thus avoiding the rainwater from obstructing the airflow ejected from the impact nozzle 13 and ensuring the dredging efficiency.

[0060] During the intake process of the vertical cylinder 11, the vertical one-way valve pipe 18 is opened and the horizontal one-way valve 17 is closed, and the external air enters the vertical cylinder 11 through the vertical one-way valve pipe 11; during the exhaust process of the vertical cylinder 11, the vertical one-way valve pipe 18 is closed and the horizontal one-way valve 17 is opened, and the compressed air enters the impact nozzle 13 through the horizontal one-way valve 17.

[0061] The mounting ring 14 can be fixedly connected to the C-shaped plate 4 by bolts or rivets, thereby fixing the vertical cylinder 11 to the inner wall of the C-shaped plate 4.

[0062] In summary: by setting up the buffer plate 2 and the unblocking device 7, the pressure generated by the vehicle's movement drives the impact nozzle 13 to repeatedly impact the through hole 3 with airflow. When the through hole 3 becomes blocked, it can automatically unblock it, avoiding the tediousness and high cost of manual unblocking, ensuring that rainwater on the bridge surface is discharged in time, and reducing the damage of water accumulation to the bridge structure.
