Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bridge pier construction technology, and in particular to an external reinforcement structure for bridge piers. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the accelerated construction of highways, more and more bridges have been built. The industry has also attached great importance to bridge safety. Inspections of bridges that have been built for a long time have revealed that some underwater pile foundations have been affected by river erosion, with varying degrees of defects such as concrete damage and spalling, and exposed steel bars. In order to extend the life of the pile foundations and ensure the safety of the bridge structure, it is necessary to reinforce the pile foundations.

[0003] The current conventional construction method involves first pouring the concrete for the pier, then removing the formwork after the pier has solidified, and finally installing a permanent protective steel casing around the pier. This method requires secondary positioning, hoisting, and fixing operations in a unified spatial location, creating a "dismantle and reinstall" process. This prolongs the pier protection work period, and the ineffective repetitive work increases the labor intensity of the workers. Furthermore, installing the protective casing after the pier has solidified causes it to rub against the pier's surface during installation, resulting in scratches and a reduction in the structural strength of the pier.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an external reinforcement structure for bridge piers to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides an external reinforcement structure for bridge piers, aiming to save construction time for protective work while ensuring the structural strength of the pier body.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A bridge pier reinforcement structure includes a steel casing, multiple fixed flanges, multiple rotating flanges, annular cutting edge, and stiffening steel hoops;

[0008] The steel casing body includes multiple cylinders, which are fixedly connected end to end, and the multiple cylinders cover the periphery of the splice of the pier body.

[0009] Multiple fixed flanges are disposed at one end of the corresponding cylinder;

[0010] Multiple rotating flanges are disposed at the other end of the corresponding cylinder, and the ends of the multiple rotating flanges away from the cylinder are fixedly connected to the fixed flanges on the adjacent cylinders.

[0011] One end of the annular cutting edge is located at the bottom of the cylinder at the bottom of the pier body, and the other end extends downward along the axial length of the cylinder.

[0012] The reinforcing steel hoop is fixedly installed around the periphery of the fixed flange.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the fixed flange at the end away from the cylinder is provided with a groove facing the axis, and the inner wall of the rotating flange at the end near the fixed flange extends a slider toward its axis, and the circumferential surface of the slider slides in contact with the groove wall.

[0014] Furthermore, the chute includes a vertical section and a horizontal section. The length direction of the vertical section is consistent with the axial length direction of the cylinder, and the length direction of the horizontal section is consistent with the radial direction of the cylinder. One end of the horizontal section is connected to the end of the vertical section near the cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the annular cutting edge is provided with multiple grouting pipes embedded inside, and multiple stiffening rods are provided around the periphery of the multiple grouting pipes. One end of each stiffening rod is fixed at equal intervals to the periphery of the corresponding grouting pipe, and the other end is fixedly connected to the periphery of the adjacent grouting pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, the axial length direction of the multiple stiffening rods is set at an angle to the axial length direction of the grouting pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, the stiffening steel hoop and the fixing flange are an integral structure.

[0018] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0019] This application sets the steel casing body as a structure of multiple casings fixed end to end, allowing the steel casing to be installed synchronously with the formwork during the pier pouring stage, avoiding subsequent secondary positioning and hoisting; the matching connection between the fixed flange and the rotating flange simplifies the splicing process of adjacent casings, ensuring that the steel casing completely covers the splice of the pier, preventing damage to the pier surface due to misalignment during installation; the setting of the annular cutting edge extending along the axial length of the casing prevents the casing from shifting due to water erosion; the fixed connection between the stiffening steel hoop and the fixed flange improves the structural strength between the flange and the casing, preventing deformation or separation at the splice due to external forces.

[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, a bridge pier reinforcement structure includes a steel casing 11, multiple fixed flanges 12, multiple rotating flanges 13, an annular cutting edge 14, and stiffening steel hoops 15. The steel casing 10 includes multiple casings 11, which are sequentially connected end to end and cover the periphery of the joint of the pier body 1. The multiple fixed flanges 12 are disposed at one end of the corresponding casing 11. The multiple rotating flanges 13 are disposed at the other end of the corresponding casing 11, and the ends of the multiple rotating flanges 13 away from the casing 11 are fixedly connected to the fixed flanges 12 on the adjacent casing 11. One end of the annular cutting edge 14 is disposed at the bottom of the casing 11 located at the bottom of the pier body 1, and the other end extends downward along the axial length of the casing 11. The stiffening steel hoops 15 are fixedly disposed around the fixed flanges 12.

[0029] In the above scheme, by setting the steel casing body 10 as a structure of multiple casings 11 connected end to end, the steel casing can be installed synchronously with the formwork during the pier pouring stage, avoiding subsequent secondary positioning and hoisting; the matching connection between the fixed flange 12 and the rotating flange 13 simplifies the splicing process of adjacent casings 11, ensuring that the steel casing completely covers the splicing area of ​​the pier, preventing damage to the pier surface due to misalignment during installation; the setting of the annular cutting edge 14 extending along the axial length of the casing 11 enhances the contact stability between the bottom of the steel casing and the pier, preventing the casing from shifting due to water erosion; the fixed connection between the stiffening steel hoop 15 and the fixed flange 12 improves the structural strength between the flange and the casing 11, preventing deformation or separation at the splicing area due to external forces.

[0030] It should be noted that during the reinforcement cage casting stage of the pier body 1, the first section 11 of the steel casing body 10 in this application can serve as the formwork for the first section of the pier body 1. During this process, the annular cutting edge 14 extends into the riverbed along with the first section 11, reducing the radial scouring of the pier body 1 by the water flow. After the first section of the pier body is cast, the rotating flange 13 at one end of the second section 11 is fixedly connected to the fixed flange 12 at the end of the first section 11 away from the riverbed, thus completing the casting of the second section of the pier. Throughout this process, the steel casing body 10 always serves as the casting formwork for the pier body 1, while also protecting the circumference of the pier body 1 to ensure the integrity of its perimeter.

[0031] The inner wall of the fixed flange 12 away from the cylinder 11 is provided with a groove 121 with the opening facing the axis. The inner wall of the rotating flange 13 near the fixed flange 12 extends towards its axis with a slider 131. The circumferential surface of the slider 131 slides in contact with the groove wall of the groove 121.

[0032] In the above scheme, the slide groove 121 provides a radial constraint path for the slider 131 of the rotating flange 13, ensuring that the slider 131 always moves along a predetermined trajectory when sliding within the slide groove 121, thus preventing flange misalignment. Furthermore, the circumferential contact between the slider 131 and the slide groove 121 ensures sliding freedom and disperses installation stress through surface contact, preventing localized deformation. Through the relative sliding of the slider 131 within the slide groove 121, the rotating flange 13 can achieve fine-tuning of the angle and compensation of axial displacement during installation, completing flange alignment without repeated disassembly and assembly. This reduces the risk of scratching the pier surface and improves installation efficiency.

[0033] The groove 121 includes a vertical section 1211 and a horizontal section 1212. The groove length direction of the vertical section 1211 is consistent with the axial length direction of the cylinder 11, and the groove length direction of the horizontal section 1212 is consistent with the radial direction of the cylinder 11. One end of the horizontal section 1212 is connected to the end of the vertical section 1211 near the cylinder 11.

[0034] In the above scheme, the vertical section 1211 is aligned with the axis of the cylinder 11, allowing the slider 131 to slide vertically first during installation, achieving initial axial positioning. The horizontal section 1212 is aligned with the radial direction of the cylinder 11, and the slider 131 moves radially after entering the horizontal section 1212, completing the final fixation. The connection point between the vertical section 1211 and the horizontal section 1212 is located near the end of the cylinder 11, ensuring that the slider 131 naturally transitions to the horizontal section 1212 after axial movement, preventing the slider 131 from deviating from the preset path during sliding. The phased sliding path setting of the slide groove 121 ensures precise matching between the slider 131 and the slide groove 121 during installation, while reducing the number of manual adjustments, thereby improving installation efficiency and reducing the risk of scratching the pier surface.

[0035] The annular cutting edge 14 is provided with a plurality of grouting pipes 16 embedded inside. A plurality of stiffening rods 17 are provided around the periphery of the plurality of grouting pipes 16. One end of the stiffening rod 17 is fixed at equal intervals to the periphery of the corresponding grouting pipe 16, and the other end is fixedly connected to the periphery of the adjacent grouting pipe 16.

[0036] In the above scheme, multiple pre-embedded grouting pipes 16 are used to achieve uniform distribution of the reinforcement material, avoiding insufficient or excessive grouting in certain areas. Stiffening rods 17 are installed around the grouting pipes 16 and fixed at equal intervals to form a mesh support structure, enhancing the rigidity of the internal skeleton of the annular cutting edge 14. One end of the stiffening rod 17 is fixed to a single grouting pipe 16, and the other end connects to an adjacent grouting pipe 16, forming a multi-directional force transmission path. This disperses the local impact of grouting pressure on the cutting edge, ensuring the stability of the grouting channel and improving the overall bending and shear resistance of the annular cutting edge 14, thereby ensuring a reliable connection between the reinforcement structure and the pier body 1.

[0037] The axial length direction of the multiple stiffening rods 17 is set at an angle to the axial length direction of the grouting pipe 16.

[0038] In the above scheme, the stiffening rod 17 is not parallel to the axis of the grouting pipe 16, so that a multi-directional support node is formed between adjacent grouting pipes 16, which effectively disperses the radial pressure generated during the grouting process; the stiffening rods 17 in different directions are arranged in a cross shape to form a triangular stable structure, which suppresses the vibration displacement of the grouting pipe 16 during concrete pouring and ensures the positional accuracy of the pre-embedded grouting pipe 16 during the reinforcement construction process.

[0039] The stiffening steel hoop 15 and the fixed flange 12 are an integral structure.

[0040] In the above solution, by making the stiffening hoop 15 and the fixed flange 12 an integral structure, the welding or bolting process required for traditional separate connections is eliminated. The integral structure makes the stiffening hoop 15 directly become an extension of the fixed flange 12. When the flange bears the axial load of the cylinder 11, the stiffening hoop 15 can synchronously transmit the circumferential stress, avoiding stress concentration or interface slippage caused by separate connections.

[0041] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. For the same or similar parts between the various embodiments, please refer to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of this application.
