Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering, and in particular to a bridge structure with a fully enclosed sound barrier. Background Technology

[0002] In the actual construction of high-speed railway projects, when the planned high-speed railway line needs to pass through residential areas, the high-speed trains will generate significant noise during operation. This noise pollution will seriously disrupt the daily lives of residents, affecting their normal routines, rest, and physical and mental health. Therefore, installing fully enclosed sound barriers on high-speed railway sections that pass through residential areas has become a necessary measure.

[0003] Currently, viaducts are commonly used in high-speed rail lines. Traditional viaducts typically feature a box-shaped beam structure with flanges on both sides of the top. However, when installing fully enclosed sound barriers on such viaducts, the traditional box-shaped beam structure with flanges cannot adequately handle the weight of the barriers themselves, as well as the wind loads and vibrations from trains during operation. Therefore, targeted optimization and improvement of the traditional viaduct structure are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitations of existing technologies, where traditional box girder structures with flanges cannot adequately withstand the loads of fully enclosed sound barriers when they are installed on elevated high-speed railway lines. Therefore, this application provides a bridge structure with a fully enclosed sound barrier.

[0005] This utility model provides a bridge structure with a fully enclosed sound barrier, comprising:

[0006] A bridge beam, comprising a top plate component, a bottom plate component, a web component, and diagonal components, wherein the top plate component and the bottom plate component are connected by the web component, and both sides of the top plate component are respectively connected to both sides of the bottom plate component by the diagonal components;

[0007] A sound barrier is located above the top plate component. The sound barrier includes sound-absorbing panels and arches. The two ends of the arches are connected to the two sides of the top plate component, and the sound-absorbing panels are installed between two adjacent arches.

[0008] This utility model provides a bridge structure with a fully enclosed sound barrier. The top plate component constitutes the bridge deck structure for laying high-speed rail tracks and installing other bridge deck facilities. Simultaneously, the two sides of the top plate component serve as mounting supports for the arch frame of the sound barrier. The web plate component connects the top plate component and the bottom plate component, forming a stable integrated structure. The inclined components effectively transfer the loads from both sides of the top plate component to the bottom plate component, thereby enhancing the top plate component's ability to withstand the load of the sound barrier. Compared to traditional box girder structures with flanges, the bridge girder of this application avoids the presence of flanges, strengthening the stress characteristics of the top plate component. The main function of the sound-absorbing panel is to reduce the noise generated when the high-speed rail passes by; the arch frame serves as the supporting skeleton for the sound-absorbing panel, fixing it in place.

[0009] This utility model, by adding the inclined component to the bridge beam, realizes the direct transfer of loads from both sides of the top plate component to the bottom plate component, effectively solving the problem that traditional box girder structures with flanges are difficult to adapt to the load caused by the installation of fully enclosed sound barriers.

[0010] Preferably, the arch frame has arch feet at both ends, and the arch feet at both ends of each arch frame are respectively connected to the top surfaces on both sides of the top plate component.

[0011] Preferably, the top surfaces of both sides of the top plate component are provided with bases, and the two arch feet are respectively connected to the top surfaces of both sides of the top plate component through the bases. The bases are used to enhance the stability of the connection between the arch feet and the top plate component.

[0012] Preferably, a first bolt and a second bolt are pre-embedded in the base, and a first steel plate is provided at the bottom of the arch foot. The first bolt and the second bolt are both U-bolts, and the first bolt and the second bolt are arranged longitudinally and transversely. A first through hole is provided on the first steel plate, and the number, size and position of the first through hole are adapted to the number, size and position of the bolt heads of the first bolt and the second bolt protruding outside the base.

[0013] In this design, both the first and second bolts are U-bolts, arranged longitudinally and transversely. This U-bolt arrangement enhances the anchoring effect of the first and second bolts within the base, resulting in a more stable anchorage. The bolt heads of the first and second bolts protruding from the base pass through the first through hole in the first steel plate. Then, by using nuts, a reliable connection between the arch foot and the base can be achieved.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the base has a first groove, the first steel plate is installed in the first groove, and a gap is provided between the first steel plate and the bottom of the first groove, the gap being filled with mortar. In this design, the gap between the first steel plate and the bottom of the first groove can absorb dimensional deviations between the base and the first steel plate caused by processing precision or thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring that the components can still achieve effective contact under non-ideal conditions and avoiding stress concentration caused by forced assembly. After the mortar is filled, it cures to form a rigid bonding layer. Its fluid filling characteristics can fully wrap the bottom surface of the first steel plate and the rough surface of the bottom of the first groove. Through the dual action of mechanical interlocking and chemical bonding, a continuous force transmission path is established between the first steel plate and the base.

[0015] Preferably, a second groove is provided at the bottom of the first groove, and a shear key is provided at the bottom of the first steel plate. The shear key is located in the second groove, which is filled with mortar. In this design, the second groove is used to accommodate the shear key, and the mortar filling the second groove is used to establish a continuous horizontal force transmission path between the shear key and the base after solidification. Furthermore, the shear key enhances the shear resistance between the arch foot and the base.

[0016] The mortar can be ordinary cement mortar or gravity-flow mortar.

[0017] Preferably, a second steel plate is provided at the bottom of the first groove. The second steel plate has a reserved hole and a second through hole. The shape and size of the reserved hole are consistent with the shape and size of the second groove. The reserved hole is aligned with the second groove during installation. The number, size, and position of the second through hole are adapted to the number, size, and position of the bolt heads of the first bolt and the second bolt protruding outside the base. In this scheme, the reserved hole is for the shear key to pass through. The bolt heads of the first bolt and the second bolt protruding outside the base are used to pass through the second through hole in the second steel plate. The second steel plate is used for simultaneous installation when the first bolt and the second bolt are pre-embedded to ensure that the relative position between the bolt heads of the first bolt and the second bolt protruding outside the base meets the predetermined requirements. In this way, when the arch foot is subsequently installed, the bolt head can smoothly pass through the first through hole in the first steel plate.

[0018] Preferably, the mortar filling the gaps and the second groove is gravity-flow mortar. Using the gravity-flow mortar can improve the efficiency and density of the gap filling.

[0019] Gravity-flowing mortar is a special mortar material designed specifically for filling gaps. Its core characteristics lie in its excellent self-leveling and flowability. Under the influence of gravity, this mortar can automatically fill complex shapes or narrow gaps without the need for additional vibration or compaction, significantly improving construction efficiency. Its formulation typically includes highly fluid cementitious materials, fine aggregates, and high-efficiency water-reducing agents, ensuring good workability with low water consumption while also considering the strength and durability after hardening.

[0020] Preferably, the arch frame is made of I-beams, and a baffle is provided on the web of the arch frame. One end of the sound-absorbing plate is located between the flange of the arch frame and the baffle. In this design, the sound-absorbing plate is fixedly connected to the arch frame by being clamped between the flange of the arch frame and the baffle.

[0021] Preferably, rubber pads are provided between the sound-absorbing panel and the flange of the arch frame, and between the sound-absorbing panel and the baffle. In this design, the rubber pads serve to dampen vibrations and adjust installation gaps. The rubber pads have good elasticity; when the sound-absorbing panel is subjected to external impacts or vibrations, the rubber pads can absorb and disperse this energy, thereby reducing the direct impact on the sound-absorbing panel and the flange of the arch frame or the baffle, thus providing damping. During the installation of the sound-absorbing panel, due to manufacturing errors or installation limitations, there may be a certain gap between the sound-absorbing panel and the arch frame or the baffle. The flexibility of the rubber pads allows them to adapt to these gaps, ensuring that the sound-absorbing panel can fit tightly in the predetermined position while maintaining a certain degree of elasticity, facilitating installation and adjustment.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] This utility model provides a bridge structure with a fully enclosed sound barrier. By adding the inclined component to the bridge beam, the load on both sides of the top plate component is directly transferred to the bottom plate component, which effectively solves the problem that traditional box girder structures with flanges are difficult to adapt to the load caused by the installation of a fully enclosed sound barrier.
