Example

[0026] A mobile scaffold suitable for high-altitude operations in tunnels, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, it includes a base 2, with four track wheels installed on the lower part of the base 2. The track wheels are used to drive the base 2 to move on the track 1. The track gauge of the track 1 is 1435mm and the track height is 176mm. The dimensions of the base 2 are 1533mm wide and 2370mm long. The base 2 is equipped with high-altitude operation components. The base 2 is also equipped with four rail grippers by bolts. The rail grippers are used to fix the scaffolding on the track 1, prevent the scaffolding from tipping over, and have anti-slip braking function.

[0027] The rail grabber includes a rail grabber housing 221 with a limiting groove 222. The rail grabber housing 221 has two clamping arms 224 that are slidably connected to the limiting groove 222. The limiting groove 222 is used to limit the clamping arms 224. The clamping arms 224 have notches corresponding to the rail head. The inner side of the notches is provided with anti-slip teeth to enhance the clamping friction. A bidirectional spiral screw 223 is rotatably connected to the rail grabber housing 221. The bidirectional spiral screw 223 is threadedly connected to the clamping arms 224. A handle 225 is provided on one side of the bidirectional spiral screw 223.

[0028] The high-altitude work equipment includes a first right-angle ladder 31, which is mounted on a base 2. A second right-angle ladder 32 is also provided on the other side of the base 2. Two folding diagonal bars 33 are provided on one side between the first and second right-angle ladder 31 and the second right-angle ladder 32. From bottom to top, a fixed horizontal bar 34, a fixed diagonal bar 35, and a folding horizontal bar 36 are provided on the other side of the first and second right-angle ladder 31 and the second right-angle ladder 32. A supporting long step 37 is provided at the top of the first and second right-angle ladder 31 and the second right-angle ladder 32. The first right-angle ladder 31 is provided with a climbing part 310. The folding diagonal bars 33, the fixed horizontal bars 34, the fixed diagonal bars 35, and the folding horizontal bars 36 are used to reinforce the frame, prevent lateral tilting or deformation, and facilitate quick assembly by workers. The horizontal bar is 1594mm long and the diagonal bar is 1855mm long.

[0029] It also includes counterweight support pedals 4. Two detachable counterweight support pedals 4 are installed at the bottom of the first right-angled ladder 31 and the second right-angled ladder 32. The counterweight support pedals 4 are 500mm wide and 2000mm long. The counterweight support pedals 4 are made of aluminum alloy frame. The two counterweight support pedals 4 can withstand a load of 4000N.

[0030] It also includes a guardrail 5, the height of which is ≥1 meter. The guardrail 5 is installed on the top of the first right-angle ladder 31 and the second right-angle ladder 32. The guardrail 5 is used to prevent construction workers from falling from the height of the scaffold and to ensure work safety.

[0031] It also includes a high-altitude work extension component. A high-altitude work extension component is provided between the first right-angle ladder section 31 and the second right-angle ladder section 32. The high-altitude work extension component includes a short truss 61, which is fixed to the first right-angle ladder section 31 and the second right-angle ladder section 32 by two pairs of double buckles 611. A long truss 62 is installed on the upper part of both the first and second right-angle ladder sections 31 and 32, and is fixed to each of the long trusses 62 by a pair of double buckles 611. The double buckles 611 are made of aluminum alloy. Both long trusses 62 are fixed to the ladder section by bolts. On the upper part of the short truss 61, each long truss 62 is bolted with a long railing 63. The two long trusses 62 are bolted together on one side with a short railing 64. Five detachable support short steps 65 are placed on the two long trusses 62. The long trusses 62 are 3900mm long. The two long trusses 62 with the support short steps 65 form a cantilever platform, extending a 1.6-meter working platform and expanding the construction area. Support members are installed on the long trusses 62 with fasteners. The long railings 63 and short railings 64 are used to prevent personnel from falling from the edge of the cantilever platform. The support members are used to support the middle part of the cantilever platform.

[0032] The support includes a support rod 71, which is installed on the long truss 62 by fasteners. The lower part of the support rod 71 is connected by a threaded rod adjusting rod 72, which can be rotated and adjusted. The position of the threaded rod adjusting rod 72 is adjustable, and the maximum adjustment height of the threaded rod adjusting rod 72 is 30cm. The support rod 71 is 2261mm long.

[0033] It also includes a folding handle 21, which is mounted on the base 2. The folding handle 21 is detachable for easy transportation.

[0034] This scaffolding can move freely on track 1. When the scaffolding is needed, the worker places the base 2 on track 1, and then installs the rail grabber, high-altitude work components, high-altitude work extension components, support components, and folding push handle 21 in sequence. The worker then installs the rail grabber housing 221 into the mounting holes of the base 2 with bolts, forming a detachable mechanical fixation. Next, the worker installs the guardrail 5 on top of the first right-angle ladder 31 and the second right-angle ladder 32, and places two counterweight support steps 4 under the first right-angle ladder 31 and the second right-angle ladder 32. Counterweights are placed on the treadle 4 to increase the stability of the scaffold. Workers place a supporting long tread 37 on top of the first right-angle ladder 31 and the second right-angle ladder 32. Five supporting short treads 65 are placed on the two long trusses 62. Then, workers rotate the threaded rod adjusting rod 72 to move it into contact with the ground. The threaded rod adjusting rod 72 and the supporting rod 71 work together to effectively support the long truss 62. The position of the threaded rod adjusting rod 72 is adjustable, so that the scaffold can adapt to a variety of different tunnel environments.

[0035] When workers need to perform high-altitude operations inside the tunnel, they first push the scaffolding to the designated location using the folding push handle 21. Then, they turn the handle 225 clockwise, which drives the bidirectional spiral screw 223 to rotate clockwise, causing the two clamping arms 224 to move towards the rail head. When the notch of the clamping arm 224 is tightly fitted with the rail head, the worker stops turning the handle 225. The clamping arms 224 are used to clamp the rail 1 to achieve rigid positioning of the scaffolding and prevent it from tipping over or slipping, thereby increasing the stability of the scaffolding and reducing the risk of tipping over. Workers can flexibly adjust the positions of the long truss 62, support rod 71, and threaded rod adjusting rod 72 on both sides of the rail 1 according to the construction location. They can work on both sides of the tunnel by moving the truss, which also ensures the stability of the scaffolding. Workers then climb up the crawling section 310 of the first right-angle ladder 31 to the supporting long step 37. They can then move flexibly on the supporting long step 37 and supporting short step 65 for tasks such as tunnel lighting installation and tunnel wall construction. Guardrails 5, long railings 63, and short railings 64 are used to protect worker safety. When workers need to move to other locations in the tunnel, they climb down the crawling section 310 of the first right-angle ladder 31 to the ground. Then, they turn the handle 225 counterclockwise to separate the clamping arm 224 from the rail head. The workers then use the folding push handle 21 to move the scaffolding to the next work location. By adding the rail 1 car base 2 and the folding push handle 21 to the conventional scaffolding, the scaffolding can move directly on the rail 1, allowing workers to quickly adjust its position, reducing the number of times the scaffolding is disassembled and reassembled, and improving work efficiency. The rail gripper prevents the scaffolding from tipping over or sliding, contributing to its high stability and safety.

[0036] The components on the scaffold are mainly fixed together by fasteners and bolts. The structure is simple and can be quickly assembled and disassembled, which can improve construction efficiency. In addition, each component on the scaffold is of moderate weight while meeting its own strength requirements. When other construction vehicles need to use the track, the scaffold can be quickly disassembled and moved away from the track, which is convenient for timely avoidance of other construction vehicles.

[0037] The scaffold components are made of aluminum alloy. Based on the actual working conditions, a load of 2000N was applied to the cantilevered parts of the scaffold, and a load of 4000N was applied to the counterweight area. The final test results showed that the maximum displacement was 7.246mm and the maximum stress was 87.05MPA, which is less than the yield strength of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy (255MPA). The safety factor is 2.9. 2. The design load at the most unfavorable point of the scaffold is 2000N.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
