Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge rotation construction technology, specifically a temporary support and rotation device for the construction of a railway-crossing rotating bridge. Background Technology

[0002] In bridge construction across railways, the swing bridge construction technology has become a core solution for overpass projects because it avoids direct interference with railway operations. This involves casting or assembling the bridge beam (often integrated with piers and towers) in a safe area parallel to the railway, then rotating it around a pre-set center to achieve the core objectives of "parallel prefabrication, aerial rotation, and precise positioning." In this process, the synergistic performance of the temporary supports and the swing device directly determines construction efficiency, safety, and positioning accuracy: the temporary supports must bear the load and ensure the stability of the bridge beam during construction, while the swing device must provide a stable rotation center, precise guidance, and traction force. The compatibility between the two is a key technical challenge. Currently, the industry commonly uses sandboxes as the core component of the temporary supports, placing them between the annular slide rail and the upper turntable of the swing device. The supporting force of the sand filling inside the sandbox balances the load on the upper turntable, preventing swaying during construction and protecting the transmission structure below the upper turntable from impact damage.

[0003] The process of removing the sand box is cumbersome and time-consuming. After the bridge construction is completed, the sand box's discharge port must be opened to allow the sand inside to flow out slowly. The sand box can only be removed after its supporting force has been released to a safe range. This process can take several hours or even longer, causing delays in the connection of key procedures in the rotation construction and extending the safety control window for railway operations. Furthermore, the sand box is difficult to handle. Its heavy weight means that even after some sand is discharged, manual or conventional equipment handling still requires significant manpower and resources. The limited operating space in the circular sliding rail area also increases the risk of collision damage to the rotation device. Therefore, a temporary support and rotation device for the construction of railway-crossing rotating bridges is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a temporary support and rotation device for the construction of a railway crossing swing bridge, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model relates to a temporary support and rotation device for the construction of a railway crossing swing bridge, comprising:

[0006] A bridge rotation and support assembly, comprising a bottom pile, a lower turntable, an annular slide rail, an upper turntable, and a sand box. The lower section of the lower turntable is fixed to the upper end of the bottom pile, and the upper end is rotatably connected above the lower section. The annular slide rail is fixed to the upper end of the bottom pile and located outside the lower turntable. The upper turntable is fixed above the rotating end of the lower turntable, and the sand box is placed between the annular slide rail and the upper turntable.

[0007] The support assembly includes a fixed frame, a second support plate, a jack, a U-shaped fixing frame, and rollers. The fixed frame is placed on an annular slide rail, the second support plate is fixed on the fixed frame, the jack is placed inside the fixed frame and located between the two second support plates, the U-shaped fixing frame is fixed above the movable end of the jack, and the rollers are rotatably connected to the inside of the U-shaped fixing frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a first support plate, which is welded to the inside of the fixed frame and located below the second support plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a groove, which is formed on one side of the fixing frame and located between the two second support plates.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower end of the first support plate is flush with the lower end of the fixed frame, and one end of the connecting air pipe of the jack is placed in the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the upper turntable is uniformly fixed with support tubes, and the sand boxes are evenly distributed between the two support tubes and placed on the fixed frame.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a damage prevention component, which includes a protective cover and a pull ring. The protective cover is snapped into a groove, and the pull ring is fixed to the upper end of the protective cover.

[0013] Furthermore, the protective cover is open at one end and closed at the other end, and the jack is locked inside the protective cover.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention, through its specially designed support components, allows for efficient sand box installation. The fixed frame is placed on a circular slide rail, and jacks are positioned between two first support plates. Connecting air pipes are placed in the groove. After bridge construction is completed, the sand box's discharge port is opened. Once a certain amount of sand is discharged, the upper support pile of the sand box falls. An external air pump is then used to connect the connecting air pipes of the three jacks in the groove, causing the jack's movable rod to lift, raising the U-shaped fixed frame and moving the upper end of the rollers out of the fixed frame. The sand box is then pulled, causing the rollers to rotate and allowing the sand box to be removed. The support components can then be retrieved. This design significantly reduces the time required to remove the sand box, improves construction efficiency, and eliminates the need for large handling equipment. Only a small pulling force is required to move the sand box, while also preventing collision damage between the sand box and the rotating device during transport, thus reducing construction risks and labor costs.
