Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural wind engineering technology, and in particular to an adjustable flange suspension system component and its usage method suitable for wind tunnel testing. Background Technology
[0002] To determine the vibration characteristics and properties of civil engineering structural members under wind load, wind tunnel tests are often used to test the members under wind load. When testing members under wind load, the members are usually connected by ropes, and then the ropes are fixed to flanges. However, the angle of the rope connection to the member and the angle between the ropes have a significant impact on the vibration response of the member under wind load. Traditional flanges can only be used for wind tunnel tests, which not only fixes the structural member individually, but also prevents arbitrary changes to the connection angle between the member and the rope and the angle between the ropes, thus limiting the wind load test.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an adjustable flange suspension system component and its usage method suitable for wind tunnel testing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above problems and thus provide an adjustable flange suspension system component and its usage method suitable for wind tunnel testing. It is not only simple in structure and convenient in operation, but also conducive to carrying out wind tunnel tests with different connection methods. It can study the influence of various suspension methods on the frequency of structures or components under wind loads, which is of great significance for improving the wind resistance of structures.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the aforementioned problem is as follows: An adjustable flange suspension system component suitable for wind tunnel testing is installed on a wind tunnel testing device. It includes a support base, a lower sliding rail component on the upper surface of the support base, and an upper sliding rail component on the upper surface of the lower sliding rail component. Both the upper and lower sliding rail components are connected to the support base. The upper and lower sliding rail components are arranged in an X-shaped, staggered, overlapping configuration. Two sliding members are slidably mounted on the upper surfaces of both the upper and lower sliding rail components. All four sliding members have identical structures and at least one rope connection hole. The two sliding members on the upper and lower sliding rail components are arranged axially symmetrically. Each sliding member includes a cuboid-shaped component body. The component body is horizontally positioned and has an extension connecting section at the lower part of one end face. The extension connecting section is integrally formed with the component body and has at least one track bolt hole that extends through the extension connecting section from bottom to top. A connecting bolt is threaded into the track bolt hole. The sliding component is connected to the upper slide rail component or the lower slide rail component via the connecting bolt. At least one connecting slide rail is provided on the lower bottom surface of the component body and is slidably mounted on the upper slide rail component or the lower slide rail component. The sliding component is slidably connected to the upper slide rail component or the lower slide rail component via the connecting slide rail.

The fastening bolt connects the upper slide rail component, the lower slide rail component and the supporting chassis together. An upper recessed upper misaligned connecting part is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the upper slide rail component. The upper misaligned connecting part and the lower misaligned connecting part are overlapped vertically. An elongated sliding groove is provided on the upper surface of the upper slide rail component to slide in connection with the connecting slide rail.
[0010] Furthermore, the elongated slides are all arranged along the length of the upper slide rail component and the lower slide rail component. The number of elongated slides is consistent with the number of connecting slide rails. Each elongated slide has an internal thread on its inner wall, which is arranged along the length of the elongated slide. Each connecting slide rail has an external thread that matches the internal thread.
