Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile suspension scaffold used during construction / repair work of a bridge such as a truss bridge. More specifically, the structural member of the bridge is used as a rail for movement, and can be assembled on site and has high stability. It relates to mobile suspension scaffolds.

  Conventionally, assembly and dismantling of structures such as truss bridges has been done by installing safety nets on the entire surface of the bridge and installing scaffolding plates in the form of bridges to prevent accidents caused by workers and tools falling. It is common to perform dismantling work.

However, the conventional assembly / disassembly work has the following problems.
<1> The size of the safety net increases with the length of the bridge and the width of the bridge, and the construction period and cost of the safety net also increase.

<2> When the scaffolding plate is installed in a safety net shape, a large shaking occurs, which is unstable and difficult to work.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile suspension scaffold that can keep the installation period and cost low and that has a highly stable work scaffold.

The first invention of the present application, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, is a mobile suspension scaffold that is suspended from a bridge and forms a work scaffold that is movable below the bridge. A floor, a set of side frames that cantilever-support the work floor from the left and right, and a self-propelled portion configured to be capable of self-propelled as a rail that constitutes a bridge. A movable part having a structure that can be connected to a frame so as to be relatively movable; a self-propelled means that is arranged around the movable part and configured to be self-propelled on a component member of the bridge; and a rotational force is applied to the self-propelled means. It is provided with a transmission means for transmitting, and a mobile suspension scaffold is provided.
The second invention of the present application provides the mobile suspension scaffold according to the first invention of the present application, wherein the movable part is configured to be supported by a pin.

The present invention can obtain at least one of the following effects by means for solving the above-described problems.
<1> Since it is not necessary to lay a scaffold such as a net under the entire bridge, it is economical in terms of construction period and construction cost.
<2> A member for laying a scaffold does not have to be attached to the bridge itself.
<3> By using a pin support at the center of the self-propelled part, all the wheels are equally loaded, and the wheels are difficult to come off from the bridge and have high stability. Even if the free-running part moves slightly to the left and right due to shaking during movement, it operates without any problem.
<4> Simplification of the structure and weight reduction of the entire apparatus can be achieved, and assembly on site is easy.
<5> Since the self-propelled portion and the side frame are connected by pins, the working scaffold can always be kept horizontal regardless of the slope of the bridge.
<6> By changing the wheel width of the self-propelled part, it can be applied to various bridges and can be used at various sites.
<7> By using a manual self-propelled means, there are few trouble factors such as malfunctions and safety is high, and periodic inspection is easy.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<1> Overall Configuration In FIG. 1, the overall configuration of the mobile suspension scaffold according to the present invention will be described.
The mobile suspension scaffold according to the present embodiment includes a work floor 2 for hanging below a bridge, a set of side frames 3 that cantilever-support the work floor 2 from the left and right (bridge width direction), and a bridge. These components are, for example, a self-propelled portion 4 configured to be capable of self-propelled with the main structure 1 as a rail, and each member is divided and transported and assembled on site. Each component of the present invention will be described below.

<2> Work floor 2
The work floor 2 is a unit-type scaffold that can be assembled and disassembled, and is configured in an elongated rectangular shape that is substantially larger than the bridge width.
As shown in FIG. 1, the work floor 2 is assembled by spanning and connecting an aluminum scaffolding plate to a work floor frame and bolting a fixing plate thereon. A handrail for the safety of workers is provided on the scaffolding board.

<3> Side frame 3
One side frame 3 is provided on each side of the main structure 1 (in the width direction of the bridge), and is cantilevered so that the work floor 2 is suspended below the bridge. The side frame 3 and the work floor 2 have a known assembly mechanism that can be easily connected by pins and bolts. It can be assembled on site. At the upper part of the side frame 3, a connecting part 31 provided with a pin hole 311 for soft connection with the self-running part 4 is provided.

Further, in order to fix the side frame and the main structure 1, an adjuster unit 31 or a locking lever 32 may be provided.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the adjuster unit 31 can rotate the handle, press the main structure, and fix the side frame and the main structure by the pressing force, thereby suppressing the shaking of the bridge.
As shown in FIG. 4B, the locking lever 32 is a lever-shaped member having one end rotatably attached to the side frame and a notched locking portion at the other end. When the suspension scaffold of the present invention is moved, the locking lever 32 is released, and when the work is performed with the suspension scaffold of the present invention stopped, the locking lever 32 is rotated and locked to the main structure. The purpose is to fix the side frame 3 and the main structure 1 to prevent the side frame 3 from shaking and moving.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a guide roller 33 may be provided on the side frame 3. By configuring the main structure 1 so as to be sandwiched between the guide roller 33 and the roller 42 of the self-running portion 4, it is possible to improve the stability when moving the suspension scaffold. Can also be planned.

<4> Self-propelled part 4
As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, the self-propelled portion 4 includes a movable portion 41 having a structure that is connected to the connection tool 31 of the side frame 3 so as to be relatively movable, and a main structure 1 that is a structural member of a bridge. The self-propelled means 42 capable of self-propelling and the transmitting means 43 for applying a rotational force to the self-propelled means 42 are provided. Details of each component will be described below.

[Moving part 41]
The movable portion 41 uses a member having a structure that can be connected to the side frame so as to be relatively movable, for example, a pivot structure or a structure that can be supported by pin connection.
As shown in FIG. 2, the movable portion 41 is softly connected by inserting a pin 411 having an axial direction parallel to the moving direction of the self-running portion 4 into a pin hole 311 provided in the connecting portion of the side frame. The work floor can always be kept horizontal without being affected by the gradient of the bridge, and the stability of the suspended scaffolding during movement of the suspended scaffolding or during maintenance work can be improved.

Moreover, the movable part 41 should just be a structure which the self-propelled part 4 and the side frame 3 can move relatively, and is not limited to the pin connection of a present Example.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a shaft portion 312 may be provided at the tip of the connecting portion 31 of the side frame, and the connecting portion 31 itself may be handled like a pin.

[Self-propelled means 42]
Self-propelled means 42 consists of a wheel provided so that pin 411 of movable part 41 may be located in the center. The wheel is made of a well-known material such as urethane rubber, and is provided in a total of four positions at symmetrical positions on the front, rear, left and right with the pin 411 of the movable portion 41 as the center, corresponding to the rotation direction of the chain 432 of the transmission means 43. It is configured using a known mechanism so that positive rotation and negative rotation are possible.
By setting the central part of the main body of the self-propelled portion 4 as a pin-supported portion of the movable portion 41, it is possible to always apply a load evenly to the four wheels, and to improve the stability of the self-propelled portion 4.

[Transmission means 43]
The transmission means 43 includes a hand wheel 431 provided on a side portion of the self-running portion 4 main body and a chain 432 that spans the hand wheel 431. When an operator pulls the chain 432, the handwheel 431 is rotated and the rotational force is transmitted to the self-propelled means 42.
The transmission means 43 desirably employs a manual transmission mechanism. This is because the manual transmission mechanism has many advantages compared to an automatic transmission mechanism such as a prime mover, such as easy fine adjustment of speed, simplification of the structure without a power source.

  As described above, the mobile suspension scaffold according to the present invention applies a load evenly to the wheels rotating on the main structure 1 of the bridge, so that the wheels are not easily detached from the bridge and have high stability, and the work floor 2 and the side frame 3 Is relatively movable with the self-propelled portion 4. The work floor 2 can always be kept horizontal, and bridge maintenance work and the like can be performed safely.
