The present application relates to the technical field of bridge construction, and more specifically, to a bridge sliding device and a bridge construction system.
In certain bridge constructions, bridges can be built using the method of incremental launching, which is cost-effective and ensures smooth construction. During construction, a temporary support platform is set up on both sides of the bridge pier, and the bridge deck truss slides to the top of the pier via a slider and rail. However, the pressure of the bridge deck truss is transmitted to the support platform through the slider, causing the platform to deform, while the bridge pier itself does not undergo deformation. This results in the height of the platform under the pressure of the bridge deck truss being lower than that of the pier, creating a step-like structure due to the height difference when the slider moves from the platform onto the pier, hindering the smooth sliding of the truss onto the pier, thus affecting the incremental launching process.
In view of this, there is a need to address the problem of the slider on the bridge deck truss not sliding smoothly from the support platform onto the pier, thereby affecting the incremental launching process, and to provide a bridge sliding device and a bridge construction system.
A bridge sliding device includes a slide rail assembly, a first sliding component, and a second sliding component. The slide rail assembly includes a rail that spans across the temporary support platform and the bridge pier and is arranged in a transverse direction, which is the direction from the temporary support platform to the bridge pier. The first sliding component is slidably arranged on the rail, with opposite ends respectively forming a sliding start and a sliding end, and the direction from the sliding start to the sliding end is the transverse direction. The second sliding component is unlockably locked onto the sliding start of the first sliding component and can slide from the sliding start to the sliding end of the first sliding component. The second sliding component is used to support the bridge deck truss. The length of the second sliding component is less than that of the first sliding component, and the length of the first sliding component is less than that of the rail.
In one embodiment, the bridge sliding device further includes a locking assembly arranged on the first sliding component. In the initial state, the locking assembly is used to lock the second sliding component at the sliding start of the first sliding component. After the first sliding component slides into place, the locking assembly is used to unlock the second sliding component.
In one embodiment, the locking assembly includes a locking pin, a locking pushrod, and a pushrod reset mechanism. The first sliding component has a first locking hole on the side facing the second sliding component, and the second sliding component has a second locking hole on the side facing the first sliding component. One end of the locking pin is inserted into the first locking hole, and the other end can be inserted into the second locking hole. The first sliding component also has a moving hole communicating with the first locking hole, which runs through the sliding end. One end of the locking pushrod is movably inserted into the moving hole along the transverse direction. The pushrod reset mechanism applies a reset force along the transverse direction to the locking pushrod, allowing it to move within the moving hole, driving the locking pin from the second locking hole to the first locking hole, disengaging the second locking hole.
In one embodiment, the locking pushrod has a relief groove on the side facing the first locking hole, and the other end extends out of the moving hole. The locking pushrod moves in the direction from the sliding end to the sliding start, aligning the relief groove with the first locking hole, allowing the locking pin to drop from the second locking hole into the first locking hole and the relief groove.
In one embodiment, one end of the locking pin is inserted through the first locking hole into the moving hole. The portion of the locking pin located within the moving hole has a locking groove on the side facing the locking pushrod. The locking groove forms a contact slope, inclined along the transverse direction, away from the second locking hole. One end of the locking pushrod can contact the contact slope. The locking assembly further includes a locking reset mechanism that applies a reset force to the locking pin along the direction from the first locking hole to the second locking hole.
In one embodiment, the sliding end of the first sliding component is provided with a stop, and a sliding slot is formed on the first sliding component in the transverse direction. The second sliding component is slidably arranged within the sliding slot and can slide within it and contact the stop.
In one embodiment, the slide rail assembly further includes a limiting member movably arranged on the rail. The direction of movement of the limiting member relative to the rail is the transverse direction, and the first sliding component can slide on the rail and contact the limiting member.
In one embodiment, the length of the first sliding component is less than the length of the temporary support platform in the transverse direction.
In one embodiment, the friction coefficient between the first sliding component and the rail is less than the friction coefficient between the second sliding component and the first sliding component.
A bridge construction system includes a temporary support platform and the above-mentioned bridge sliding device. The temporary support platform is set up on one side of the bridge pier. The slide rail assembly spans the temporary support platform and the pier, allowing the first sliding component to slide along the rail from the temporary support platform to the pier, and the second sliding component can slide from the sliding start to the sliding end of the first sliding component.
In one embodiment, the bridge construction system further includes a pushing assembly set on the temporary support platform, which is used to push the bridge deck truss in the transverse direction.
In one embodiment, the bridge construction system further includes a jacking assembly set on the temporary support platform. The jacking assembly can move up and down relative to the platform and is used to lift the bridge deck truss from the second sliding component.
During construction, the bridge sliding device and the bridge construction system first set up temporary support platforms on both sides of the pier and then install the slide rail assembly across the temporary support platform and the pier, positioning the rail of the slide rail assembly in the transverse direction of the bridge deck truss. Due to the higher deformation resistance of the pier compared to the temporary support platform, the pressure from the bridge deck truss on the temporary support platform causes it to deform, leading to a height difference between the temporary support platform and the pier, which affects the movement of the bridge deck truss in the transverse direction. The first sliding component is set on the rail, and the second sliding component is set on the first sliding component, with the second sliding component being shorter than the first sliding component. When the first sliding component is aligned with the temporary support platform, the second sliding component is locked at the sliding start of the first sliding component, and the bridge deck truss is set on the second sliding component. The weight of the bridge deck truss, applied through the second sliding component to the sliding start of the first sliding component, causes the sliding end of the first sliding component to slightly tilt upwards. As the first sliding component slides on the rail, its sliding end can easily cross the junction between the temporary support platform and the pier. When the second sliding component moves with the first sliding component to the junction, the sliding end of the first sliding component has already moved onto the pier, allowing the sliding start of the first sliding component to more easily cross the junction, thereby making it easier for the second sliding component to cross the junction as well. After the first sliding component is in position, the locking of the second sliding component relative to the first sliding component can be released, allowing the bridge deck truss to push the second sliding component to continue sliding from the sliding start to the sliding end of the first sliding component, increasing the travel distance of the bridge deck truss in the transverse direction. This bridge sliding device, by utilizing the cooperation between the first sliding component and the second sliding component, allows the second sliding component to more smoothly cross the junction between the temporary support platform and the pier, ensuring the efficiency of the bridge deck truss's incremental launching construction.

During construction, temporary support platforms 100 are first set up on both sides of the bridge pier 20, and then the slide rail assembly 210 is set up across the temporary support platforms 100 and the bridge pier 20, so that the rail 212 of the slide rail assembly 210 is arranged in the transverse direction a of the bridge deck truss 30. Due to the higher deformation resistance of the bridge pier 20 compared to the temporary support platform 100, the pressure from the bridge deck truss 30 on the temporary support platform 100 will cause it to deform, leading to a height difference between the temporary support platform 100 and the bridge pier 20, affecting the movement of the bridge deck truss 30 in the transverse direction a. If, to overcome the height difference caused by the deformation of the temporary support platform 100, the height of the temporary support platform 100 is set higher than that of the bridge pier 20 during installation, then due to the height difference between the temporary support platform 100 and the bridge pier 20 in the initial state, the slide rail assembly 210 cannot be effectively and reliably installed on the bridge pier 20, which affects the installation reliability of the slide rail assembly 210 with the bridge pier 20. This, in turn, although solving the height difference issue caused by the pressure of the bridge deck truss 30 on the temporary support platform 100, raises the problem of the installation reliability of the slide rail assembly 210, affecting the stability of the bridge deck truss 30 as it moves on the slide rail assembly 210 in the transverse direction a.
Using the above-mentioned bridge sliding device 200, since the first sliding component 220 is set on the rail 212, and the second sliding component 230 is set on the first sliding component 220, and the second sliding component 230 is shorter than the first sliding component 220, when the first sliding component 220 is aligned with the temporary support platform 100, the second sliding component 230 is locked onto the sliding start 221 of the first sliding component 220, and the bridge deck truss 30 is set on the second sliding component 230. The weight of the bridge deck truss 30, applied through the second sliding component 230 to the sliding start 221 of the first sliding component 220, causes the sliding end 222 of the first sliding component 220 to slightly tilt upwards. As the first sliding component 220 slides on the rail 212, the sliding end 222 of the first sliding component 220 can easily cross the junction between the temporary support platform 100 and the bridge pier 20. When the second sliding component 230 moves with the first sliding component 220 to the junction, the sliding end 222 of the first sliding component 220 has already moved onto the bridge pier 20, allowing the sliding start 221 of the first sliding component 220 to more easily cross the junction, thereby making it easier for the second sliding component 230 to cross the junction as well. After the first sliding component 220 is in position, the locking of the second sliding component 230 relative to the first sliding component 220 can be released, allowing the bridge deck truss 30 to push the second sliding component 230 to continue sliding from the sliding start 221 to the sliding end 222 of the first sliding component 220, increasing the travel distance of the bridge deck truss 30 in the transverse direction a. This bridge sliding device 200, by utilizing the cooperation between the first sliding component 220 and the second sliding component 230, allows the second sliding component 230 to more smoothly cross the junction between the temporary support platform 100 and the bridge pier 20, ensuring the efficiency of the bridge deck truss's incremental launching construction.
In one embodiment, the bridge construction system 10 further includes a pushing assembly (not shown), which is set on the temporary support platform 100 and is used to push the bridge deck truss 30 in the transverse direction a. During construction, the bridge deck truss 30 is set on the second sliding component 230, and the pushing assembly pushes the bridge deck truss 30 along the transverse direction a, allowing the bridge deck truss 30 to move using the second sliding component 230 and the first sliding component 220 sliding on the rail 212, thereby achieving the movement of the bridge deck truss 30. By providing the pushing assembly, power can be provided for the movement of the bridge deck truss 30.
In one embodiment, the bridge construction system 10 further includes a jacking assembly (not shown), which is set on the temporary support platform 100. The jacking assembly can move up and down relative to the temporary support platform 100 and is used to lift the bridge deck truss 30 from the second sliding component 230. When the bridge deck truss 30 is moved into place through the first sliding component 220 and the second sliding component 230, the jacking assembly rises relative to the temporary support platform 100 to lift the bridge deck truss 30 from the second sliding component 230, allowing the bridge deck truss 30 to separate from the second sliding component 230. At this time, the slide rail assembly 210, the first sliding component 220, and the second sliding component 230 can be disassembled from the bridge pier 20. The jacking assembly then lowers the bridge deck truss 30, placing the bridge deck truss 30 on the bridge pier 20, achieving the purpose of moving the bridge deck truss 30 to the bridge pier 20 and positioning it on the pier.
Specifically, the jacking assembly can be a jack. The number of jacking assemblies can be two, with each jacking assembly set on the temporary support platform 100 on either side of the bridge pier 20, allowing the bridge deck truss 30 to be lifted from both sides, increasing the reliability of lifting the bridge deck truss 30.
As shown in
Of course, in other embodiments, the length of the first sliding component 220 can be greater than the length of the temporary support platform 100 in the transverse direction a. In the initial state, the sliding end 222 of the first sliding component 220 would already be positioned on the bridge pier 20, and the sliding start 221 of the first sliding component 220 would be on the temporary support platform 100, further avoiding the need for the first sliding component 220 to span the junction between the temporary support platform 100 and the bridge pier 20 during sliding.
In one embodiment, the friction coefficient between the first sliding component 220 and the rail 212 is less than the friction coefficient between the second sliding component 230 and the first sliding component 220. When the bridge deck truss 30 is pushed along the transverse direction a, since the friction coefficient between the first sliding component 220 and the rail 212 is less than that between the second sliding component 230 and the first sliding component 220, it will cause the first sliding component 220 to slide first on the rail 212, or the sliding speed of the first sliding component 220 on the rail 212 to be greater than that of the second sliding component 230 on the first sliding component 220. Therefore, when the first sliding component 220 has not slid into place, the second sliding component 230 moves slowly or does not move on the sliding start 221 of the first sliding component 220, effectively locking the second sliding component 230 onto the first sliding component 220. Thus, when the first sliding component 220 spans the junction between the temporary support platform 100 and the bridge pier 20, the second sliding component 230 has not yet slid to the sliding end 222 of the first sliding component 220, allowing the sliding end 222 of the first sliding component 220 to smoothly slide onto the bridge pier 20, and the second sliding component 230 then slides from the sliding start 221 to the sliding end 222 of the first sliding component 220, smoothly crossing the junction between the temporary support platform 100 and the bridge pier 20.

Specifically, the locking assembly 240 includes a locking pin 241, a locking pushrod 242, and a pushrod reset mechanism 243. The first sliding component 220 has a first locking hole 223 on the side facing the second sliding component 230, and the second sliding component 230 has a second locking hole 231 on the side facing the first sliding component 220. One end of the locking pin 241 is inserted into the first locking hole 223, and the other end can be inserted into the second locking hole 231. The first sliding component 220 also has a moving hole 224 communicating with the first locking hole 223, which runs through the sliding end 222. The locking pushrod 242 is movably inserted into the moving hole 224 along the transverse direction a, and the pushrod reset mechanism 243 applies a reset force along the transverse direction a to the locking pushrod 242. The locking pushrod 242 moves within the moving hole 224, driving the locking pin 241 to move from the second locking hole 231 to the first locking hole 223, disengaging the second locking hole 231.
In the locked state, one end of the locking pin 241 is inserted into the first locking hole 223, and the other end is inserted into the second locking hole 231, using the locking pin 241 to prevent the second sliding component 230 from moving relative to the first sliding component 220. After the first sliding component 220 moves into place, the locking pushrod 242 is pushed to move within the moving hole 224, driving the locking pin 241 to move from the second locking hole 231 to the first locking hole 223, disengaging the second locking hole 231, and at this time, the pushrod reset mechanism 243 stores energy. After the locking pin 241 exits the second locking hole 231, the lock on the second sliding component 230 is released, allowing the second sliding component 230 to slide on the first sliding component 220. In one embodiment, when the bridge sliding device 200 is reused, the pushrod reset mechanism 243 releases the stored energy, resetting the locking pushrod 242, and the locking pin 241 resets, allowing the locking pin 241 to reinsert into the second locking hole 231 from the first locking hole 223.
In one embodiment, one end of the locking pin 241 is inserted through the first locking hole 223 into the moving hole 224. The portion of the locking pin 241 located within the moving hole 224 has a locking groove 2411 on the side facing the locking pushrod 242, and the locking groove 2411 forms a contact slope 2412, inclined along the transverse direction a, away from the second locking hole 231. One end of the locking pushrod 242 can contact the contact slope 2412. The locking assembly 240 further includes a locking reset mechanism 244 that applies a reset force to the locking pin 241 along the direction from the first locking hole 223 to the second locking hole 231.
After the first sliding component 220 moves into place, the locking pushrod 242 is pushed within the moving hole 224 in the opposite direction along the transverse direction a, towards the locking groove 2411 of the locking pin 241. The locking pushrod 242 contacts the contact slope 2412, using the contact slope 2412 to press down the locking pin 241, causing the locking pin 241 to move from the second locking hole 231 to the first locking hole 223, disengaging the second locking hole 231. At this time, the locking reset mechanism 244 is compressed and stores energy, and the pushrod reset mechanism 243 is also compressed and stores energy. After releasing the push on the locking pushrod 242, the locking reset mechanism 244 releases the stored energy, resetting the locking pin 241, and the pushrod reset mechanism 243 releases the stored energy, resetting the locking pushrod 242.

In one embodiment, the slide rail assembly 210 further includes a limiting member 214, which is set on the rail 212, and the first sliding component 220 can slide on the rail 212 and contact the limiting member 214. By setting the limiting member 214, the sliding position of the first sliding component 220 can be limited. When the first sliding component 220 moves in the direction of the limiting member 214, the locking pushrod 242 first contacts the limiting member 214, causing the limiting member 214 to push the locking pushrod 242, allowing the locking pushrod 242 to unlock the second sliding component 230 from the locking pin 241. After the first sliding component 220 contacts the limiting member 214, the locking pushrod 242 drives the locking pin 241 to unlock the second sliding component 230, allowing the second sliding component 230 to continue sliding on the first sliding component 220.
Specifically, the limiting member 214 is movably set on the rail 212, and the direction of movement of the limiting member 214 relative to the rail 212 is the transverse direction a. By controlling the movement of the limiting member 214 on the rail 212, the sliding position of the first sliding component 220 can be limited, thereby limiting the movement position of the bridge deck truss 30, improving the accuracy of placing the bridge deck truss 30 on the bridge pier 20.
Furthermore, the limiting member 214 is retractable relative to the rail 212. By retracting the limiting member 214 relative to the rail 212, it can be adjusted to determine whether the limiting member 214 limits the position of the first sliding component 220, adapting to different situations of lateral movement of the bridge deck truss 30.
The above-mentioned bridge sliding device 200, through the cooperation of the first sliding component 220 and the second sliding component 230, allows the bridge deck truss 30 to smoothly cross the junction between the temporary support platform 100 and the bridge pier 20 during lateral movement, effectively ensuring the efficiency of the bridge deck truss 30 incremental launching construction.
