Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for adjusting the horizontal position of a heavy object when jacking down a heavy object such as a bridge girder in bridge construction. [Background technology]

[0002] When adjusting the horizontal position of a heavy object 10 such as a bridge girder during bridge erection work by jacking down the heavy object 10, conventionally, a one-way position adjustment device 12 is installed on a support surface 11 such as a bridge pier or sander material, as shown in Fig. 7. A platform 15 is placed on a support base 13 of this one-way position adjustment device 12 via a sliding member 16, and the heavy object 10 is lifted by a vertical jack 17 on this platform 15, and the horizontal position is adjusted by a horizontal jack 18 attached to a jack bracket 19 of a guide member 14 (Patent Document 1). The method of Figure 7 only allows for position adjustment in one horizontal direction, so when adjusting the position in another horizontal direction, it is necessary to lift the heavy object 10 with the vertical jack 17, place the heavy object 10 on another sandle material (not shown) formed on the support surface 11, lower the vertical jack 17 to release the load of the support surface 11 on the one-way position adjustment device 12, change the position and direction of the one-way position adjustment device 12, and then place the heavy object 10 on the one-way position adjustment device 12 again in that position and adjust the position using the horizontal jack 18.

[0003] In contrast, the omnidirectional position adjustment device 20 shown in FIG. 8 comprises an upper stage 21 having an X-direction horizontal jack 22 placed on a lower stage 23 having a Y-direction horizontal jack 24, and a vertical jack 17 placed on top of that. The X-direction horizontal jack 22 and the Y-direction horizontal jack 24 are driven by an electric circuit 25, and a centralized control device 26 controls a hydraulic circuit 27, thereby enabling position adjustment in all horizontal directions.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-134538 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 7378554 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The problem to be solved is that, in either the method of Patent Documents 1 or 2, a one-way position adjustment device 12 or an omnidirectional position adjustment device 20 is installed between the heavy load 10 and the placement surface 11 via a sandle material (not shown). When jacking down the heavy load 10, the one-way position adjustment device 12 or the omnidirectional position adjustment device 20 has traditionally been removed. If the one-way position adjustment device 12 shown in Figure 7 is relatively small and lightweight, it may be possible to install and remove it using only human power. However, each time the horizontal position is adjusted, the heavy load 10 must be moved to another sandle material, the vertical jack 17 must be lowered to release the load on the mounting surface 11 of the one-way position adjustment device 12, the position and direction of the one-way position adjustment device 12 must be changed, and then the heavy load 10 must be placed on the one-way position adjustment device 12 again in that position and the position adjusted using the horizontal jack 18. This is a time-consuming and troublesome process, and is dangerous if the work space is narrow or the work is performed at a high altitude.

[0006] Furthermore, in the case of a large and heavy device such as the omnidirectional position adjustment device 20 shown in Fig. 8, manual installation and removal is impossible and requires the use of heavy machinery such as a crane. Furthermore, when the use of heavy machinery such as a crane is not possible due to limitations in the working space, lifting machinery such as a lever block (registered trademark) or a chain block must be used, which poses problems such as requiring a lot of time and being troublesome. Furthermore, even though the omnidirectional position adjustment device 20 shown in FIG. 8 is capable of adjusting the horizontal position in all directions, when changing the direction of the horizontal position adjustment of the heavy object 10 beyond the adjustment limit of the omnidirectional position adjustment device 20, the installation position of the device must be changed or the device must be rotated, which is also a heavy task that takes time and is troublesome whether using human power, heavy machinery such as a crane, or a lifting machine.

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to significantly shorten and improve the efficiency of the work process and safety during the jacking down of heavy objects such as bridge girders in bridge construction by eliminating the work involved in installing and removing devices for adjusting the horizontal position of heavy objects and changing adjustment methods.

A washer holding plate 53 with a spherical washer 52 fixed thereto is placed on the upper surface of the rod insertion plate 50.

[0038] 2 and 3, the spherical washer 52 is placed on the upper surface of the washer retaining plate 53 and fixedly attached by a bolt 56 inserted from the underside of the washer retaining plate 53. The spherical recess 38 on the underside of the piston rod 34 fits into the upper surface of the spherical washer 52, and the spherical washer 52 is connected to the piston rod 34 by a connecting bolt 54 that can rotate at the center point of the spherical washer 52 through a swing hole 55 consisting of an upward conical hole from the underside of the spherical washer 52, so that the spherical washer 52 and the piston rod 34 are connected to each other so that they can swing freely in all directions. In this manner, the spherical washer 52 is fixed to the upper surface of the washer retaining plate 53, and with the piston rod 34 connected to the upper surface of this spherical washer 52 so as to be able to swing freely, the washer retaining plate 53 is placed on the rod insertion plate 50, and this washer retaining plate 53 is stacked on the rod insertion plate 50 and the movable plate 45 in that order, and is fixed integrally to the movable plate 45 with the bolts 57 at the four corners.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 5, a movable plate 45, which has the washer retaining plate 53 and the rod insertion plate 50 fixed together, is placed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 41, and movable plate retaining bolts 48 are inserted into the elongated holes 47 at the four corners, so that the movable plate 45 is slidably attached on the fixed plate 41. 2, the tip of the threaded rod 58 is inserted through the rod insertion hole 44 of one of the horizontal jack mounting plates 43, a nut 64 is screwed onto the tip of the threaded rod 58 protruding from the rod insertion hole 44, and the threaded rod 58 is inserted into the rod insertion groove 51 of the rod insertion plate 50 through a washer 65. When the tip of the inserted threaded rod 58 protrudes from the other end of the rod insertion groove 51, the nut 64 is screwed in through the washer 65, and the tip of the threaded rod 58 is further protruded from the rod insertion hole 44 of the other horizontal jack mounting plate 43. When both ends of the threaded rod 58 protrude the same length from the rod insertion groove 51 of the rod insertion plate 50, nuts 64 are screwed into both sides of the rod insertion plate 50, and the threaded rod 58 is fixed to the movable plate 45.

[0040] The piston rods 62 of a first horizontal jack 59 and a second horizontal jack 60, which are Center Hole Jacks (registered trademark), are inserted into the protruding portions of the threaded rod 58 from one horizontal jack mounting plate 43 and the protruding portions of the other horizontal jack mounting plate 43, respectively, and the first horizontal jack 59 and the second horizontal jack 60 are fixed to the one horizontal jack mounting plate 43 and the other horizontal jack mounting plate 43 with a first nut 66 and a second nut 67 via a washer 68.

[0041] The operation of the weight position adjusting device configured as above will be described. (1) Jacking down 10 heavy objects In FIG. 1(a), in order to jack down a heavy object 10 during bridge construction, a temporary support 28 for the heavy object made of sandal material is lowered step by step. For this lowering operation, the heavy load 10 is supported at two points: one temporary support table 28 and the other temporary support table 29. One end of the heavy load 10 is placed directly on one temporary support table 28. A heavy load position adjustment device 30 is fixedly attached to the underside of the heavy load 10 on the other temporary support table 29, and the heavy load 10 is placed via the heavy load position adjustment device 30. This heavy load position adjustment device 30 consists of a downward-facing vertical jack 31 and a horizontal movement device 32 attached to the underside of this vertical jack 31, and this heavy load position adjustment device 30 is fixedly attached to the underside of the heavy load 10 with bolts 69 by using the jack support upper plate 35 on the upper surface.

[0042] 1(a), when the heavy object 10 is placed on one temporary support 28, to jack down the heavy object 10, the horizontal movement device 32 of the heavy object position adjustment device 30 is raised (retracted) by hydraulic pressure from the lower oil port 40 to lift it off the other temporary support 29, and the uppermost temporary support 29a shown by the chain line is removed. After the uppermost temporary support 29a is removed, hydraulic pressure is sent from the upper oil port 39 to lower the piston rod 34 of the vertical jack 31, and the weight of the heavy object 10 is transferred from one temporary support 28 to the other temporary support 29, as shown in FIG. 1(b). After the weight of the heavy object 10 has been transferred to the other temporary support 29, the uppermost temporary support 28a of one temporary support 28 is removed. After the uppermost temporary support stand 28a of one of the temporary support stands 28 is removed, the horizontal movement device 32 is raised (retracted) by hydraulic pressure from the lower oil port 40, the heavy load 10 is lowered, and the load of the heavy load 10 is transferred to the other temporary support stand 28. Thereafter, the same operation is repeated to jack down the heavy object 10 to a predetermined position.

[0043] (2) Adjusting the horizontal position of the weight 10 When the weight 10 is lowered and does not exactly match the support of the bridge pier, the horizontal position of the weight 10 is adjusted. 2, for example, to adjust the position by a distance a to the left, the second nut 67 that fixes the position of the second horizontal jack 60 on the right side in the figure is moved by the distance a to the right. In this state, if the second horizontal jack 60 on the right side is set free and pressure oil is sent to the pressure oil port 71 of the first horizontal jack 59 on the left side, the piston rod 62 of the first horizontal jack 59 will move leftward together with the first nut 66 and threaded rod 58, and will move by the distance a until the second nut 67 on the right side comes into contact with the second horizontal jack 60. The movable plate 45, washer retaining plate 53, and spherical washer 52 are fixed integrally to the center of the threaded rod 58 with nuts 64 on both sides, so that the vertical jack 31 and the weight 10 fixed thereto also move a distance a to the left when the threaded rod 58 moves. At this time, the sliding member 49 is interposed between the movable plate 45 and the fixed plate 41, so the weight 10 can move smoothly and be adjusted in position. Conversely, when the position of the heavy load 10 is to be adjusted to the right, the first nut 66 that fixes the position of the first horizontal jack 59 on the left side in the figure is moved a predetermined distance to the left. In this state, when the left first horizontal jack 59 is set free and pressure oil is sent to the pressure oil port 71 of the right second horizontal jack 60, the piston rod 62 of the first horizontal jack 59 moves to the right together with the second nut 67 and threaded rod 58, and the left first nut 66 moves a predetermined distance until it comes into contact with the first horizontal jack 59, thereby adjusting its position.

[0044] If the horizontal movement distance exceeds the adjustment range of the first horizontal jack 59 or the second horizontal jack 60, after the initial position adjustment, pressurized oil is sent to the pressurized oil port 70 of the first horizontal jack 59 or the second horizontal jack 60 to return the position of the piston rod 62 to its original position, and the desired position is adjusted using the same operation as above.

[0045] (3) Change in the horizontal movement direction of the heavy object 10 When the horizontal movement direction of the heavy load 10 is to be moved at a predetermined angle to the direction shown in Fig. 2, with the position of the threaded rod 58 in the initial state as shown in Fig. 2, the piston rod 34 is raised by pressurized oil from the lower oil port 40, the horizontal movement device 32 is separated from the other temporary support base 29, and the horizontal movement device 32 is manually rotated relative to the vertical jack 31 to adjust it to the desired angle, as shown in Fig. 6. The horizontal movement device 32 side of the vertical jack 31 is attached to the heavy load 10, and the spherical washer 52 of the horizontal movement device 32 is in contact with the spherical recess 38 of the piston rod 34, so the angle can be easily adjusted.

[0046] (4) Adjustment of the Inclination of the Weight Position Adjusting Device 30 When the underside of the heavy load 10 and the upper surface of the other temporary support table 29 are not parallel, the spherical recess 38 on the underside of the piston rod 34 is shaped to be in contact with the spherical washer 52 so as to be able to rotate freely in all directions, the connecting bolt 54 connecting the piston rod 34 and the spherical washer 52 is inserted through the swing hole 55 of the spherical washer 52, and further, there is a gap between the underside of the outer periphery of the piston rod 34 and the upper surface of the outer periphery of the spherical washer 52, so that even if at least one of the vertical jack 31 and the horizontal movement device 32 is tilted, they can make contact by following the tilt.

[0047] In the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, a first horizontal jack 59 and a second horizontal jack 60 are attached to both ends of the threaded rod 58, so that the position of the movable plate 45 can be adjusted in both the left and right directions in the figures. However, if it is sufficient to adjust the position of the movable plate 45 in only one direction, only one of the first horizontal jack 59 and the second horizontal jack 60 may be used.
