[0002] Bridge engineering is an important branch of transportation engineering, mainly studying the planning, design, construction, maintenance and management of bridges. Based on mechanics and materials science, it achieves the function of crossing obstacles such as rivers, valleys and roads through the rational design of bridge span structures, pier foundations and other structures. It must take into account safety, durability, applicability and economy, and covers a variety of types such as railway bridges, highway bridges and urban bridges. It is a key engineering technology to ensure smooth transportation networks and promote regional economic development.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a quick replacement clamping device for municipal bridge expansion joints, including a replacement bracket 1 for municipal bridge expansion joints. A lifting sleeve 2 is fixedly inserted through the top of the replacement bracket 1, and a lifting mechanism is provided on the inner side of the lifting sleeve 2. Support bases 8 are fixedly installed on both sides of the replacement bracket 1. Three positioning grooves are opened at the bottom of the two support bases 8, and a positioning mechanism is provided on the inner side of each of the six positioning grooves.

[0032] Specifically, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 3 and a lifting rod 4. The lifting rod 4 is slidably installed on the inner side of the lifting sleeve 2. A lifting port is opened at the top of the lifting sleeve 2. The lifting cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the lifting port. The piston of the lifting cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting rod 4. The lifting rod 4 can be lifted and lowered by the lifting cylinder 3.

[0033] Specifically, a clamping platform 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting rod 4. Two sliding openings are opened on the top of the clamping platform 5, and grippers 7 are slidably installed on the inner side of the two sliding openings, so as to facilitate the movement of the clamping platform 5 by the lifting rod 4.

[0034] Specifically, the clamping platform 5 has two push grooves on its inner side, and clamping cylinders 6 are fixedly installed on the inner side of each of the two push grooves. The pistons of the two clamping cylinders 6 are fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding gripper 7, and the gripper 7 can be moved by the clamping cylinders 6.

[0035] Specifically, threaded sleeves 10 are fixedly installed on the inner side of each of the six positioning slots, servo motors 9 are fixedly installed on the top inner wall of each of the six positioning slots, and square posts 16 are fixedly installed on the output shafts of each of the six servo motors 9. Each of the six square posts 16 rotates through the corresponding threaded sleeves 10, so as to drive the threaded rods 11 to rotate through the square posts 16.

[0036] Specifically, the positioning mechanism includes a threaded rod 11, a ball-end rod 12, and a fixed base 14. The threaded rod 11 is threadedly installed on the inner side of the threaded sleeve 10. A square groove is opened at the top of the threaded rod 11, and a square post 16 is slidably installed on the inner side of the square groove. A ball-end groove 17 is opened at the bottom end of the threaded rod 11, and the ball end of the ball-end rod 12 is slidably installed on the inner side of the ball-end groove 17. The fixed base 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the ball-end rod 12, so that the threaded rod 11 can be moved axially through the threaded sleeve 10.

[0037] Specifically, a vacuum suction cup 15 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixed base 14, which can make the connection between the fixed base 14 and the ground more secure.

[0038] Specifically, the top of the fixed base 14 is provided with a vacuum port, the bottom of the ball head rod 12 is provided with a vacuum groove, and a vacuum pump 13 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the vacuum groove, which can extract the air between the vacuum suction cup 15 and the ground to increase the suction force of the vacuum suction cup 15.

[0039] Working principle: When replacing expansion joints, after the staff moves the equipment to the designated position, they first adjust the height of multiple fixed bases 14 according to the ground level. Then, the servo motor 9 is started, driving the square column 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod 11 with square grooves to rotate. When the servo motor 9 drives the square column 16 to rotate, the square column 16 slides within the square grooves, simultaneously transmitting torque to rotate the threaded rod 11. Based on the threaded connection between the threaded sleeve 10 and the threaded rod 11, the threaded rod 11 moves axially. This movement of the threaded rod 11 causes the ball joint 12 and the fixed base 14 to rise or fall, bringing them closer to the ground. The ball joint 12 then controls the fixed base 14... The angle is adjusted to better fit the ground. Then, multiple vacuum pumps 13 are activated to remove air, causing the corresponding vacuum suction cups 15 to adhere tightly to the ground, preventing the equipment from shaking when lifting the expansion joint. Then, the operator activates the lifting cylinder 3, which moves the lifting rod 4 down, causing the clamping platform 5 and the two grippers 7 to move to the designated position. Then, the two clamping cylinders 6 are activated, which move the corresponding grippers 7 closer together to clamp the expansion joint. After clamping, the lifting cylinder 3 is reset, thereby lifting the expansion joint. When the expansion joint is long, multiple devices can work together to increase the stability during operation.

[0040] With the above structure, the municipal bridge expansion joint quick replacement clamping device provided in this application can clamp the expansion joint at the bottom with the gripper 7, and then drive the two grippers 7 and the expansion joint to move upward through the lifting cylinder 3, which greatly improves work efficiency, reduces the burden on the staff, and can make the base of the replacement equipment tightly connected to the ground. At the same time, the height of the positioning mechanism can be adjusted by the cooperation of the threaded sleeve 10 and the threaded rod 11, so that it can better adapt to different ground heights, increase the stability of the replacement equipment when lifting the expansion joint, and improve the safety of the equipment.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
