Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, and in particular to a sunken flower trough for a steel structure pedestrian overpass. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous increase in urban traffic flow, pedestrian overpasses, as important facilities for ensuring pedestrian safety and alleviating ground traffic pressure, play an increasingly crucial role in urban transportation networks. At the same time, as people's living standards improve, their demands for urban landscape and environmental quality are also rising. Pedestrian overpasses must not only meet basic passage functions but also have a certain aesthetic function, becoming an integral part of the urban landscape.
[0003] In traditional steel-structure pedestrian bridge designs, flower beds are often added later due to insufficient attention to their placement. One common method is to hang small flower pots directly on both sides of the railings. While simple, this method has several drawbacks: the small size of the flower pots severely limits the types and sizes of plants that can be planted, restricting the selection to small flowers or herbaceous plants and failing to create a diverse and appealing landscape, thus failing to meet the growing demands for higher quality urban landscaping. Furthermore, the scattered placement of suspended flower pots lacks overall cohesion and coordination, significantly diminishing the bridge's aesthetic appeal. Another common method is to install flower beds independently on the bridge deck. However, these independently placed flower beds occupy limited space, narrowing the pedestrian walkway. Pedestrians must avoid the flower beds when crossing, impacting pedestrian efficiency and potentially causing congestion during peak hours, resulting in inconvenience. In addition, freestanding flower beds, due to their limited space, cannot provide enough growing space for tall green plants, resulting in a lack of layering and three-dimensionality in the sky bridge landscape. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sunken flower trough for a steel structure pedestrian overpass, comprising: a first cantilever plate, a second cantilever plate, a flower trough bottom plate, an inner web plate of the flower trough, an outer web plate of the flower trough, and flower trough partitions. The pedestrian overpass has a cantilever space on both sides. A plurality of first cantilever plates and a plurality of second cantilever plates are linearly and uniformly arranged within the cantilever spaces along a first direction. Each second cantilever plate is connected to one side of a first cantilever plate. The first cantilever plates are connected to the pedestrian overpass. The inner web plate of the flower trough is connected to one side of the first cantilever plate. One side of the flower trough bottom plate is connected to the lower end of the inner web plate of the flower trough, and the other side of the flower trough bottom plate is connected to the outer web plate of the flower trough. A plurality of flower trough partitions are linearly spaced between the inner web plate and the outer web plate of the flower trough along the first direction, and the flower trough partitions are connected to the upper end of the flower trough bottom plate. The lower end of the flower trough bottom plate is connected to the upper end of the second cantilever plate.
[0005] In another preferred embodiment, it further includes: a drain pipe, wherein a drain hole is provided through the flower bed partition on one side near the inner web of the flower bed, the drain pipe is disposed in the drain hole, and the drain pipe extends along the first direction.
[0006] In another preferred embodiment, the first cantilever plate is arranged in a right-angled trapezoidal shape, the upper end of the first cantilever plate is connected to the top plate of the pedestrian overpass, and the other side of the first cantilever plate is connected to the web plate of the pedestrian overpass.
[0007] In another preferred embodiment, the second cantilever plate includes: a first plate and a second plate, the first plate being connected to the second plate, the upper ends of the first plate and the second plate being connected to the lower end of the flower trough bottom plate, and the first plate and the second plate being connected to one side of the first cantilever plate.
[0008] In another preferred embodiment, both the first plate and the second plate are arranged in a triangular shape, and the projections of the first plate and the second plate along the first direction coincide.
[0009] In another preferred embodiment, both the first plate and the second plate include a horizontal side, a first inclined side and a second inclined side connected in sequence. The horizontal side is connected to the lower end of the flower trough bottom plate, the first inclined side is connected to one side of the first cantilever plate, and the first inclined side of the first plate is connected to the first inclined side of the second plate.
[0010] In another preferred embodiment, the height of the outer web of the flower trough is greater than the height of the inner web of the flower trough.
[0011] In another preferred embodiment, the upper end face of the inner web of the flower trough is flush with the top surface of the bridge deck pavement of the pedestrian overpass.
[0012] The present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, has the following positive effects compared with the prior art: By applying the present invention, a sunken flower trough for a steel structure pedestrian overpass is proposed. By embedding the flower trough into the cantilever space, the upper surface of the inner web of the flower trough is flush with the bridge deck pavement. This not only avoids the problem of traditional flower troughs protruding from the bridge deck and affecting pedestrian passage, but also expands the greening area by utilizing the cantilever space to meet the needs of planting tall green plants, thereby enhancing the sense of landscape layering and diversity. Compared with traditional suspended or independent flower troughs on the bridge deck, its space utilization rate is significantly improved, and the width and depth of the flower trough can be adjusted according to landscape needs, supporting flexible arrangement on both sides or one side. This is conducive to the organic integration of structural function and landscape function, achieving the unity of bridge aesthetics and practicality. Attached Figure Description
