Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of earthquake resistance of power transmission projects, and in particular to an earthquake-resistant connection reinforcement node for a multi-gradient energy-dissipating power transmission tower. Background Art

[0002] Transmission tower connection nodes are mostly rigidly welded or bolted, which can easily lead to cracking or even collapse of the tower due to stress concentration under earthquake loads.

[0003] In the existing technology, single damping such as rubber damping or viscous damping is usually introduced at the node. However, the introduction of single damping such as rubber damping or viscous damping has certain defects, which seriously restricts its reliability and durability in earthquake-prone areas.

[0004] First, a single damper can only dissipate energy for seismic waves of a specific frequency and cannot cover broadband seismic loads, resulting in poor scenario adaptability of the connection node; second, traditional nodes lack a graded energy dissipation mechanism, and the concentrated release of seismic energy can easily lead to damper overload failure, resulting in insufficient energy dissipation efficiency during actual application; finally, without a rigid limiting structure, the connection node may fall off during a major earthquake, resulting in a lack of displacement control and difficulty in coping with multi-frequency aftershock impacts.

[0005] The above defects collectively result in traditional nodes facing the risk of being usable in small earthquakes, damaged in medium earthquakes, and collapsed in large earthquakes in real earthquake scenarios. Especially for lifeline projects such as high-voltage transmission lines, node failure can cause regional power outages and significantly increase post-earthquake repair costs.

[0006] Therefore, a multi-gradient energy dissipation type transmission tower seismic connection reinforcement node is provided to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-gradient energy dissipation type seismic connection reinforcement node for transmission towers, which realizes multi-gradient energy dissipation through a composite structure of central load-bearing, peripheral energy dissipation and rigid limitation, and consumes seismic energy step by step through a three-stage energy dissipation mechanism, thereby improving the seismic performance and durability of the transmission towers.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a multi-gradient energy-dissipating type seismic connection reinforcement node for a transmission tower, comprising a transmission tower body and a transmission tower crossarm arranged on the transmission tower body. A composite energy-dissipating device is provided at the connection node between the transmission tower body and the transmission tower crossarm. Four composite energy-dissipating devices are provided, and a composite steel strand assembly is provided between two diagonally arranged composite energy-dissipating devices. The composite energy-dissipating device comprises a friction unit and a viscous unit arranged outside the friction unit.

[0031] Example

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a multi-gradient energy dissipation type transmission tower seismic connection reinforcement node, including a transmission tower body 1 and a transmission tower cross arm 2 arranged on the transmission tower body 1, a composite energy dissipation device 3 is provided at the connection node between the transmission tower body 1 and the transmission tower cross arm 2, four composite energy dissipation devices 3 are provided, and a composite steel strand assembly 4 is provided between two diagonally arranged composite energy dissipation devices 3, and the composite energy dissipation device 3 includes a friction unit and a viscous unit arranged outside the friction unit.

[0033] The viscosity unit is set as a silicone oil damper 5, and a first ear plate 6 is provided on the friction unit. The silicone oil damper 5 includes a piston rod 7 and a damper housing 8 arranged outside the piston rod 7. One end of the piston rod 7 is fixedly connected to the composite steel strand assembly 4, and the other end of the piston rod 7 is provided with a piston head 9. The piston head 9 is arranged inside the damper housing 8, and the other end of the damper housing 8 is fixedly connected to the first ear plate 6 through a pin shaft 10.

[0034] A high-strength sealing ring 11 is provided between the damper housing 8 and the piston rod 7. An adjusting oil storage chamber 12 is provided at the end of the damper housing 8 close to the first ear plate 6. A control valve 13 is provided at the end of the adjusting oil storage chamber 12 close to the piston head 9. Silicone oil 14 is provided in the cavity between the piston rod 7 and the control valve 13.

[0035] A damping hole 15 is provided on the piston head 9. The diameter of the damping hole 15 is set to 2 mm. The damping coefficient increases nonlinearly with the increase of displacement, providing rigid support during large earthquakes. The maximum limit displacement of the piston rod 7 is set to 50 mm, and the diameter of the cavity between the piston rod 7 and the control valve 13 is set to 50 mm.

[0036] The friction unit is set as a copper-based friction plate 16. A second ear plate 17 is set at the connection node between the transmission tower body 1 and the transmission tower cross arm 2. The copper-based friction plate 16 and the second ear plate 17 are connected by pre-tightening bolts 18. There are two copper-based friction plates 16. When the seismic load exceeds the threshold, sliding energy consumption is triggered.

[0037] The pre-tightening force adjustment range of the pre-tightening bolt 18 is set to 5kN-20kN, the initial pre-tightening force between the copper-based friction plate 16 and the second ear plate 17 is set to 10kN, the surface of the copper-based friction plate 16 is plated with molybdenum disulfide, the friction coefficient of the copper-based friction plate 16 is set to 0.35, and the floating range of the friction coefficient is set to ±0.05.

[0038] The composite steel strand assembly 4 includes a central steel strand 19 and a shape memory alloy energy dissipation wire 20 wound around the surface of the central steel strand 19. A shape memory polymer adhesive 21 is provided in the gap between the central steel strand 19 and the shape memory alloy energy dissipation wire 20. The central steel strand 19 and the shape memory alloy energy dissipation wire 20 are fixedly connected by the shape memory polymer adhesive 21. The shape memory polymer adhesive 21 fixes the relative position of the central steel strand 19 and the shape memory alloy energy dissipation wire 20 at room temperature, and can restore plasticity by heating at 60°C to facilitate maintenance and adjustment.

[0039] The diameter of the central steel strand 19 is set to 10 mm. The yield strength of the 10 mm central steel strand 19 is not less than 1670 MPa, and it serves as the main load-bearing member to transmit the axial load.

[0040] The memory alloy energy dissipation wire 20 is a Ni-Ti alloy energy dissipation wire, the winding angle of the Ni-Ti alloy energy dissipation wire is set to 45°, the pitch of the Ni-Ti alloy energy dissipation wire is set to 20 mm, and the phase transition temperature of the Ni-Ti alloy energy dissipation wire is set to 25°C, and absorbs seismic energy through superelastic deformation.

[0041] In actual application, a high-strength central steel strand 19 with a diameter of 10 mm is first passed through a spiral forming die, and a Ni-Ti alloy energy-dissipating wire is synchronously wound around it. A molten shape memory polymer adhesive 21 at 60°C is injected into the gap using a syringe, and after cooling, an integrated composite structure is formed.

[0042] Then, a second lug plate 17 is welded to the corresponding position of the transmission tower body 1 and the transmission tower cross arm 2, with bolt holes reserved. Two copper-based friction plates 16 with molybdenum disulfide coating on their surfaces are fixed to the second lug plate 17 via pre-tightening bolts 18. A torque wrench is used to adjust the pre-tightening bolts 18 to the designed clamping force, for example, 15kN, to ensure that the initial friction force of the friction plates matches the expected energy consumption threshold.

[0043] Pass both ends of the composite steel strand assembly 4 through the composite energy dissipation device 3 set at the diagonal position, fix them through anchors, connect the silicone oil damper 5 to the first ear plate 6 through the pin 10, connect the end of the piston rod 7 to the steel strand anchor, and complete the node installation.

[0044] In this embodiment, a multi-gradient energy dissipation type transmission tower seismic connection reinforcement node has a three-stage mechanical response mechanism of elasticity, energy dissipation, and rigid support, specifically including the following stages:

[0045] (1) Elastic stage: only the central steel strand 19 is stressed, the memory alloy energy dissipation wire 20 remains in an elastic state, and the node stiffness is close to a rigid connection;

[0046] (2) Energy dissipation stage: The memory alloy energy dissipation wire 20 enters the superelastic deformation stage, and the copper-based friction plate 16 begins to slide, and the two work together to consume seismic energy;

[0047] (3) Rigid support stage: The piston rod 7 of the silicone oil damper 5 is fully extended, and the throttling effect of the damping hole 15 provides rigid limitation to avoid node failure.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, during the performance testing phase, a vibration table test was conducted to simulate a 7-degree earthquake condition. In the elastic phase, the load range was 0-10%, the displacement was no more than 5 mm, and the stress and strain showed a linear relationship. In the energy dissipation phase, the load range was 10%-80%, the strain of the memory alloy energy dissipation wire 20 reached 8%, the slip of the copper-based friction plate 16 was 10 mm-30 mm, and the peak energy dissipation power reached 500 kN·m / s. In the rigid support phase, the load range was greater than 80%, the stroke of the piston rod 7 of the silicone oil damper 5 reached 40 mm, the displacement was stable within 50 mm, and no visible damage was found on the main body of the transmission tower.

[0049] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned multi-gradient energy-dissipating type transmission tower seismic connection reinforcement node, and adopts a three-stage energy dissipation mechanism of central steel strands bearing load, peripheral memory alloy wire energy dissipation, and friction-viscous composite damping. Through the superelastic deformation of the memory alloy wire, the sliding of the friction plate, and the rigid limitation of the viscous damper, the seismic energy is consumed step by step, covering a wide range of loads and limiting large earthquake displacements, effectively protecting the main structure, and is suitable for seismic reinforcement of transmission lines in areas prone to earthquakes.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the method scheme of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary method personnel in this field should understand that they can still modify or replace the method scheme of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified method scheme to deviate from the spirit and scope of the method scheme of the present invention.
