Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction platform technology, specifically a construction platform for the overflow surface of a concrete gravity dam. Background Technology
[0002] After years of operation, concrete gravity dams often suffer from severe corrosion of the metal structure, widespread cracks, and obvious defects in the overall appearance of the concrete, requiring reinforcement and safety measures.
[0003] During the reinforcement and upgrading process, concrete gravity dam overflow surfaces are often accessed via soft ladders or rotating cage ladders on the weir crest. When using soft ladders, the long and steep slope of the overflow surface increases the difficulty of operation and control, severely restricts access space, and makes it inconvenient for personnel to ascend and descend. When using rotating cage ladders on the weir crest, the single access route and limited width of the dam crest, coupled with the high-intensity work and numerous construction machines, necessitates advance communication and coordination for personnel access, resulting in a large workload, hindering construction progress, and posing significant safety risks. Therefore, this utility model provides a construction platform for the overflow surface of a concrete gravity dam. Utility Model Content

[0046] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 - Figure 7 This document illustrates a concrete gravity dam overflow surface construction platform provided in an embodiment of this application, used for the repair construction of the overflow surface of a concrete gravity dam. Specifically, it includes: a construction platform 3 and a steel ladder structure 4.
[0047] Construction platform 3 is installed laterally on the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam, and is located below the bottom of the gate pier 2. It provides a platform for personnel and small machinery to walk on and can also provide a platform for placing some construction materials. Steel ladder structure 4 is set longitudinally along the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam. Generally, multiple steel ladder structures 4 are set and located between two adjacent gate piers 2. The steel ladder structure 4 and construction platform 3 are staggered, allowing construction personnel to work along the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam. Auxiliary platforms 5 similar to construction platform 3 can also be designed on the side of steel ladder structure 4. Auxiliary platforms 5 are mainly used for stacking building materials.
[0048] In one embodiment, the steel ladder structure 4 includes an upper steel ladder 4a located above the construction platform 3 and a lower steel ladder 4b located below the construction platform 3. The construction platform 3 is generally designed to be higher than the lowest point of the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam by the height of one set of steel ladder structures 4.
[0049] In one embodiment, the steel ladder structure 4 includes several platform sections, each platform section including: a steel ladder body 401, a first guardrail 402 and a main support system 403.
[0050] The main body of the steel ladder 401 includes an inclined frame 401a and a water platform 401b fixed to the top of the inclined frame 401a. The inclined frame 401a and the water platform 401b are welded and fixed together. The bottom end of the inclined frame 401a and the end of the water platform 401b are fixed to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam through the anchoring system 6. The first guardrail 402 is fixedly installed on both sides of the main body of the steel ladder 401 and serves as a protective barrier. The bottom end of the main support system 403 is fixedly connected to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam through the anchoring system 6. The top end of the main support system 403 is fixedly connected to the top end of the inclined frame 401a. The main support system 403 supports the main body of the steel ladder 401 and ensures the structural stability of the main body of the steel ladder 401.
[0051] The upper and lower ends of the steel ladder body 401 are fixed to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam, and the main support system 403 is designed for auxiliary support, resulting in a stable structure that is easy to assemble.
[0052] The inclined frame 401a has a staircase structure, which makes it easy for users to walk on the inclined frame 401a.
[0053] In one embodiment, an auxiliary support system 404 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the tilting frame 401a. The bottom end of the auxiliary support system 404 is fixedly connected to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam through the anchoring system 6. The auxiliary support system 404 is used to further increase the strength of the tilting frame 401a. Especially when the tilting frame 401a is long, multiple auxiliary support systems 404 can be designed according to the requirements.
[0054] In one embodiment, the anchoring system 6 includes a steel plate 601, which is fixedly connected to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam by expansion bolts 602. The steel plate 601 is welded to the structure to be installed. The steel plate 601 has multiple mounting holes, and a set of expansion bolts 602 is used to fix the steel plate 601 to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam.
[0055] In one embodiment, the construction platform 3 includes: a support structure 301, scaffold boards 302, and a second guardrail 303.
[0056] The bottom end of the support structure 301 is fixedly connected to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam through the anchoring system 6. The scaffold boards 302 are fixedly installed on the top of the support structure 301. Multiple scaffold boards 302 are set according to the length of the construction platform 3. They are fixed to the support structure 301 with bolts. The second guardrail 303 is fixedly connected to the support structure 301 and is located on both sides of the scaffold boards 302. The second guardrail 303 plays a role in safety protection.
[0057] In one embodiment, the support structure 301 includes: a horizontal frame 301a, a frame support system 301b, and a third vertical frame 301c.
[0058] One side of the horizontal frame 301a is fixedly connected to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam. The frame support system 301b includes a first vertical frame 301b1 and a second vertical frame 301b3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal frame 301a. A horizontal connecting frame 301b2 is fixedly connected between the first vertical frame 301b1 and the second vertical frame 301b3. A height adjustment component 301b4 is fixedly connected at the connection between the horizontal connecting frame 301b2 and the second vertical frame 301b3. The bottom end of the first vertical frame 301b1 is fixedly connected to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam. The bottom end of the third vertical frame 301c is fixedly connected to the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam. The top end of the third vertical frame 301c is fixedly connected to the height adjustment component 301b4.
[0059] Because the plane height of the overflow surface 1 of the concrete gravity dam is inconsistent, the third vertical frame 301c cannot support the frame support system 301b well. By installing the designed height adjustment component 301b4 with the third vertical frame 301c, the process of cutting the third vertical frame 301c can be reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the construction platform 3.
[0060] In one embodiment, the height adjustment component 301b4 includes: a housing component 7, which is fixedly connected to the horizontal connecting frame 301b2 and the second vertical frame 301b3. A threaded fitting 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing component 7. A support threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded fitting 8. A sleeve 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support threaded rod 9. The bottom end of the sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the top end of the third vertical frame 301c. A notch 11 is provided on the side of the housing component 7. The support threaded rod 9 is rotated by manipulating the notch 11. The support threaded rod 9 is threadedly engaged with the threaded fitting 8, thereby causing the support threaded rod 9 and the sleeve 10 to move downward together.
[0061] The top of the third vertical bracket 301c is inserted into the housing 7, and then the bottom of the third vertical bracket 301c is fixed. Finally, the support threaded rod 9 is rotated, and the support threaded rod 9 and the sleeve 10 move downward together. The sleeve 10 moves downward and engages with the top of the third vertical bracket 301c, thereby achieving quick installation of the third vertical bracket 301c.
