Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of railway bridge ancillary facilities, and more specifically, it relates to a high-strength lightweight composite material railway bridge pedestrian slab. Background Technology

[0002] Railway bridges are an important part of railway lines. Pedestrian walkways on bridges are key ancillary facilities that ensure the safety of maintenance workers during daily operations and facilitate the passage of pedestrians. Especially in the field of heavy-haul railways, due to the heavy axle load, high transport volume, and high operating density of trains, more stringent requirements are placed on the durability, structural stability, and safety and reliability of the line's ancillary facilities.

[0003] Currently, common cement pedestrian slabs have defects such as heavy weight, cracking, weathering and corrosion; while rubber pedestrian slabs are prone to aging, have large deflection, poor wind resistance, and insufficient installation stability.

[0004] With the increase in railway line loads and the improvement of engineering standards, pedestrian walkways need to have the following properties: higher load-bearing capacity and impact resistance, lighter weight to reduce construction difficulty, good weather resistance and corrosion resistance, and reliable fixing structure to prevent displacement or detachment under strong winds.

[0005] Traditional cement boards or rubber boards cannot achieve the above-mentioned performance, so there is an urgent need for a new type of pedestrian board that is structurally sound, lightweight and high-strength, and has diverse installation methods. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a high-strength, lightweight composite material railway bridge pedestrian slab to overcome the aforementioned defects in the prior art.

[0007] The purpose and effect of this utility model of a high-strength lightweight composite material railway bridge pedestrian slab are achieved by the following specific technical means: A high-strength, lightweight composite material railway bridge pedestrian slab, the pedestrian slab being an integrally molded sheet material, comprising: a top planar portion; strip-shaped protrusions extending downward from the bottom surface of the planar portion, the strip-shaped protrusions being distributed parallel to each other along the length direction of the planar portion, and each strip-shaped protrusion having a hollow internal structure; and downwardly opening strip-shaped grooves formed between adjacent strip-shaped protrusions, the strip-shaped protrusions and the strip-shaped grooves together constituting a frame-like reinforcing structure at the bottom of the pedestrian slab.

[0008] In a further technical solution, the opening of the strip-shaped groove is provided with an extension portion extending along the inner side of the groove.

[0009] In a further technical solution, the walking board is integrally formed from glass fiber reinforced resin matrix composite material through a pultrusion process.

[0010] In a further technical solution, the hollow structure extends along the entire length of the strip-shaped protrusion.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the walking board also includes an S-shaped connector for fixing the walking board to the mounting steel beam. The S-shaped connector is formed by bending a sheet material and includes a top plate, a middle plate, and a bottom plate from top to bottom. The top plate and the middle plate are connected by a long side plate to form a first slot for engaging the walking board. The middle plate and the bottom plate are connected by a short side plate to form a second slot for engaging the mounting steel beam.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the top plate and / or the long side plate are provided with through holes for installing fasteners.

[0013] A further technical solution involves installing a connecting rod within the hollow structure of the walkway slab. The connecting rod extends into the hollow structure and is fixed to the walkway slab with fastening bolts, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the walkway slab during large-span installation.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the walking board also includes a hook-type connector, the top of which forms a T-shaped portion, and the T-shaped portion is provided with a longitudinal locking hole for engaging with a pre-set mounting hole on the walking board to achieve a fast connection. The lower side of the hook-type connector forms a hook portion for hanging and installing steel beams.

[0015] A further technical solution is that the upper surface of the hook portion has multiple anti-slip teeth to increase the friction with the beam support.

[0016] A further technical solution is to form an open groove on the lower side of the hook-type connector to reduce the weight of the connector.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting hollow strip-shaped protrusions inside as reinforcing ribs, the material is distributed to the parts that can best perform the load-bearing function. This "hollow rib plate" structure greatly reduces its own weight while ensuring overall rigidity and strength. Its weight is only about one-seventh of that of traditional concrete slabs, which greatly facilitates transportation and installation.

[0018] 2. The bottom of the pedestrian slab of this utility model has an open strip groove, and the connector is placed in the strip groove. On the one hand, it can hide the connector itself, saving volume, and on the other hand, the pedestrian slab itself can protect the connector, effectively preventing external dirt from entering the inner cavity and causing corrosion to the connector. In addition, by setting two types of connectors, the connectors can stably and firmly fix the pedestrian slab to the installation steel beam. In actual use, the pedestrian slab can be installed on the steel beam in sequence as needed, so that the pedestrian slab remains stable on the installation steel beam, fundamentally solving the safety hazard of the pedestrian slab being easily blown over by the wind. The pedestrian slab of this utility model can be repeatedly laid to meet the setting requirements of the pedestrian area of ​​the bridge. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 1: This example provides a high-strength, lightweight composite material railway bridge pedestrian slab body, see attached document. Figure 1-3 The walking board body is a one-piece molded board, including: a top flat portion 10, with strip-shaped protrusions 11 extending downward from the bottom surface of the flat portion 10, the strip-shaped protrusions 11 being distributed parallel to each other along the length direction of the flat portion 10, and each strip-shaped protrusion 11 having a hollow structure 12 inside; and a downwardly opening strip-shaped groove 13 being formed between adjacent strip-shaped protrusions 11, the strip-shaped protrusions 11 and the strip-shaped grooves 13 together constituting a frame-shaped reinforcing structure at the bottom of the walking board.

[0027] Preferably, 6-10 parallel hollow protrusions are used, each strip protrusion 11 extends along the entire length, and the strip groove 13 opens downward, forming a lightweight and high-rigidity frame structure.
