This system consists of two parts: a position adjustment device and a temporary fixing device. It can complete procedures such as assisted segment positioning, segment position adjustment, and temporary segment fixing during the cantilever assembly of cable tower steel beams, achieving bracketless installation of the cable tower steel beams, thereby reducing resource input, shortening the construction period, and lowering construction costs.

The lifting lugs and the plate are welded to the top plate by full penetration welding, and the weld quality is Grade II. The latter mainly uses top plate hangers, web plate positioning components, and bottom plate positioning components to temporarily fix the steel crossbeam segments of the pylon. Specifically, four top plate hangers are arranged along the bridge direction, all located at the top of the top plate stiffening ribs. Among them, top plate hanger 1 is the connector between the pylon crossbeam connecting section and the crossbeam edge segment, and top plate hanger 2 is the connector between the crossbeam edge segment and the middle segment. The connecting plate is 24mm thick, the splicing plate is 20mm thick, and they are connected to the top plate by penetration welding.

Similarly, four bottom plate positioning components are arranged along the bridge direction, all located at the bottom plate stiffening ribs. The splicing plate is 24mm thick and is connected with 8.8 grade M24 ordinary bolts. A total of six web plate positioning components are arranged in the cross section of the edge segment, and a total of four web plate positioning components are arranged in the cross section of the middle segment. They are all located on the inner side of the left and right web plates, and their bottom plate, vertical plate, and stiffening plate are all 20mm thick. During operation: First, after the steel beam segment is lifted to the designated position, the lifting lugs and adjustment plates installed on the top plate of the segment are used, and a chain hoist is used to assist in the fine adjustment and positioning of the beam segment in the transverse and longitudinal directions. Then, the top plate hook key → bottom plate positioning key → web plate positioning key are connected in sequence to temporarily fix the steel beam segment. It should be noted that after the bolts are tightened, they should be marked with red paint for quality inspection to prevent omissions. The crane can only be removed after all bolts have been tightened and inspected.
