Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, and in particular to a catenary arch bridge deck structure and its pedestrian catenary arch bridge. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for tourism, pedestrian bridges and cable cars are common crossing methods when traversing valleys and rivers in natural scenic areas due to pedestrian transportation needs. However, due to the limited capacity and applicability of cable cars, pedestrian bridges remain the preferred option when the budget is relatively sufficient.

[0003] While arch bridges offer strong support capabilities, their applicability is limited in situations where large-scale scaffolding cannot be erected under them, such as deep canyons, river valleys, and navigable waterways, significantly restricting their application scenarios. Existing technologies allow pedestrian suspension bridges to be erected in terrains like deep canyons; however, strong lateral winds frequently occur in these areas. The load-bearing capacity of pedestrian suspension bridges is weak, and their suspension structures are inherently unstable. Under lateral wind loads, the bridges sway significantly, increasing the safety risks for pedestrians.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a catenary arch bridge deck structure and a pedestrian catenary arch bridge to solve or at least alleviate the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a bridge deck structure for a catenary arch bridge and a pedestrian catenary arch bridge thereof, so as to solve the technical problems of weak and unstable load-bearing capacity of existing pedestrian suspension bridges.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bridge deck structure for a catenary arch bridge, comprising multiple bridge decks and multiple cables. The multiple cables are parallel to each other, and the two ends of the cables are respectively anchored to the mountains on both sides. The cables are taut to apply pretension. The multiple bridge decks are fixed above the cables along the cables, and the multiple bridge decks are connected to each other to form a whole. Each bridge deck is simultaneously fixedly connected to the multiple cables.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes multiple cable clamp units, which are disposed between the bridge deck and the cable. Each cable clamp unit includes a clamping part and a connecting part. The connecting part is fixed to the clamping part, the clamping part clamps the cable, and the connecting part is fixedly connected to the bridge deck.

[0008] More preferably, the connecting part is a group nail connecting plate, and nail holes are reserved below the bridge deck. The group nail connecting plate includes shear nails, which are fixed in the nail holes, and concrete is poured into the gap between the shear nails and the nail holes.

[0009] Furthermore, a bridge deck joint is reserved between two adjacent bridge decks, and concrete is poured into the bridge deck joint to connect the multiple bridge decks into one piece.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a cable saddle for connecting the cable and the arch below. The position of the cable saddle corresponds to the position of the bridge deck joint. The cable saddle includes a cable channel in which the cable is slidably connected.

[0011] More preferably, multiple cable saddles are provided along the transverse direction of the catenary arch bridge, and one or more cable channels are provided parallel to each cable saddle.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a pedestrian catenary arch bridge, including an arch ring 20 and a catenary arch bridge deck structure 10, wherein the catenary arch bridge deck structure 10 is fixed on the arch ring 20.

[0032] The bridge deck structure 10 of the catenary arch bridge includes multiple bridge decks 140 and multiple cables 120. The multiple cables 120 are parallel to each other, and the two ends of the cables 120 are respectively anchored to the mountains on both sides. The cables 120 are taut to apply pretension and are erected on the arch ring 20 of the catenary arch bridge. The multiple bridge decks 140 are fixed above the cables 120 along the cables 120. A bridge deck joint is reserved between two adjacent bridge decks 140. Concrete is poured into the bridge deck joint to connect the multiple bridge decks 140 into one piece. Each bridge deck 140 is simultaneously fixedly connected to the multiple cables 120.

[0033] In this embodiment, multiple cables 120 are anchored on the mountainsides on both sides of the valley or river valley, and multiple bridge decks 140 are erected on the cables 120, thereby avoiding the instability of the catenary arch bridge caused by the suspension structure. The cables 120 are taut and pre-tensioned, and the multiple bridge decks 140 are connected as a whole, which improves the overall rigidity of the bridge deck, further improves the catenary arch bridge's ability to resist lateral loads, improves stability, and effectively reduces safety risks. On the other hand, the bridge decks 140 can be prefabricated in the factory in advance. When erecting the bridge, the bridge decks 140 only need to be laid on the cables 120, which greatly simplifies the construction process and shortens the construction period.

[0034] In this embodiment, a plurality of cable clamp units 130 are further included. The cable clamp units 130 are disposed between the bridge deck 140 and the cable 120. Each cable clamp unit 130 includes a clamping part 131 and a connecting part 132. The connecting part 132 is fixed on the clamping part 131. The clamping part 131 clamps the cable 120. The connecting part 132 is fixedly connected to the bridge deck 140.

[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, the connecting portion 132 is a group-staple connecting plate, with pre-drilled nail holes below the bridge deck. The group-staple connecting plate includes shear studs, which are fixed within the nail holes. The gap between the shear studs and the nail holes is filled with concrete. The shear studs are driven into the bridge deck 140, improving the stability of the bridge deck 140 and the connecting portion 132, and preventing relative displacement between the bridge deck 140 and the cable 120 under lateral wind loads, which could cause the cable 120 to detach from the bridge deck 140.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bridge deck structure 10 of the catenary arch bridge further includes a cable saddle 210. The cable saddle 210 is disposed between the cable 120 and the arch ring 20 for connecting the cable 120 and the arch ring below. The cable saddle 210 is fixed on the arch ring 20, and its position corresponds to the position of the bridge deck joint. The cable saddle 210 includes a cable channel, and the middle part of the cable 120 is slidably connected in the cable channel. The cable 120 is mounted on the cable saddle 210, transferring the bridge deck load to the cable saddle 210. The cable saddle 210 provides support to the cable 120 through the arch ring 20. The cable channel inside the cable saddle 210 has a smooth curved surface, allowing the cable 120 to smoothly change direction and avoiding excessive bending stress and local compression damage to the steel wire.

[0037] As a further preferred embodiment, multiple cable saddles 210 are provided along the transverse direction of the catenary arch bridge, and one or more cable channels are provided parallel to each other on a single cable saddle 210. In this embodiment, the cable saddles 210 and cables 120 can correspond one-to-one, or multiple cables 120 can correspond to one cable saddle 210, thereby improving the flexibility of construction.

[0038] In one embodiment, the bridge deck structure 10 of the catenary arch bridge further includes a cable anchoring structure. This cable anchoring structure is fixed inside the mountains on both sides, and the ends of the cables 120 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding cable anchoring structures. In this embodiment, the cable anchoring structure includes an anchoring body 110. A toothed ledge 113 is formed at the bottom of the anchoring body 110, extending into the mountainside. The stepped surface of the toothed ledge 113 faces the cable 120. The stepped surface of the toothed ledge 113 points in the direction of the cable 120's tension. By fixing itself inside the mountainside, the toothed ledge 113 increases the contact area of ​​the anchoring body 110 to improve resistance, thereby enhancing the stability of the cable anchoring structure.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment, the cable anchoring structure further includes a tensioning and steering device 112 and an anchoring chamber 111. The cable 120 is mounted on the tensioning and steering device 112 and is slidably connected to it. The end of the cable 120 is fixed inside the anchoring chamber 111, which is connected to the outside. The tensioning and steering device 112 changes the traction direction of the cable 120, making the tension direction of the cable 120 perpendicular to the ground line of the mountain. Adjusting the height of the tensioning and steering device 112 provides sufficient preload to the cable 120. After the cable 120 deforms and lengthens during long-term use, adjusting the tensioning and steering device 112 can more quickly adapt to the length of the cable 120. The anchoring chamber 111 is connected to the outside, facilitating technicians to enter and inspect or replace the cable 120.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
