Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of bridges, in particular to a structurally stable garden bridge and its method of use.

BACKGROUND

With the improvement of people's living standard, more and more people play in parks to enjoy the natural scenery or rest and recreation. In order to create a beautiful scenery in the park, usually set up a small stream, and the small stream will be built on the bridge for pedestrians to walk, for people to walk to see the scenery.

However, most of the garden bridges on the market are spliced in two sections, and the bridge deck can only be about 1.5 meters; the bridge deck is shorter resulting in a smaller bearing capacity and a less solid structure. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,965,903 of the United States patent disclosure of a garden bridge, there is a short bridge, bearing force is small, and the structure is not strong enough problem; Similarly, the U.S. Pat.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 12, the present invention provides a garden bridge with a stable structure. In this embodiment, it includes at least one set of pedestal structures 1000. Each set of pedestal structures 1000 comprises an elevated pedestal 1100 and two grounding bases 1200. The elevated pedestal 1100 is equipped with at least one threaded hole A 1103 at each end. One end of the grounding base 1200 is in contact with the ground, while the other end is equipped with at least one connecting section 1203 and at least one first embedded body 1205. The first embedded body 1205 is fixedly connected to the elevated pedestal 1100, and when the elevated pedestal 1100 and the grounding base 1200 are fixedly connected, the threaded hole A 1103 and the threaded hole B 1204 are coaxial.

In this embodiment, it also includes at least one set of scaffold structures 2000. Each set of scaffold structures 2000 comprises an elevated side frame 2100 and two grounding side frames 2200. The elevated side frame 2100 is equipped with at least one through hole C 2104 at each end. One end of the grounding side frame 2200 is in contact with the ground, while the other end is equipped with at least one through hole D 2204 and at least one second embedded body 2205. The second embedded body 2205 is fixedly connected to the elevated side frame 2100, and when the elevated side frame 2100 and the grounding side frame 2200 are fixedly connected, the through hole C 2104 and the through hole D 2204 are coaxial.

In this embodiment, each end of the elevated pedestal is also equipped with at least one through hole E 1104. The through hole E 1104 is transverse to the threaded hole A 1103. Each end of the elevated side frame 2100 is also equipped with at least one through hole F 2105 corresponding to the through hole E 1104. The scaffold structure 2000 and the pedestal structure 1000 are fixedly connected via the through hole E 1104 and the through hole F 2105.

In this embodiment, both the pedestal structure 1000 and the scaffold structure 2000 are designed as hollow structures. The lightweight nature of hollow structures reduces the overall mass of the bridge, thereby reducing the load-bearing pressure and deformation on both foundation and structure. Moreover, hollow structures require less material, resulting in lower costs and resource conservation. They also offer high space utilization, facilitating flexible layout and modification. Additionally, they exhibit good mechanical properties and can withstand large loads and moments.

In other embodiments (not shown in figures), both pedestal structure 1000 and scaffold structure 2000 are not limited to hollow structures but can also be designed as solid structures. Solid structures have higher strength and stiffness, enabling them to withstand greater loads and moments. They also have good durability, being less susceptible to factors such as temperature, humidity, corrosion, etc., and can be designed as any desired structure.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 9, in this embodiment, the elevated pedestal 1100 includes at least one elevated support rod 1101, at least one elevated side bar 1102, and at least one crossbar 1300.
