[0002] Currently, most prestressed concrete pipe pile tensioning still uses highly integrated hydraulic wrenches. Although hydraulic wrenches are small and suitable for manual operation, the small size and low flow rate of the internal cylinders result in slow tensioning speeds. Tensioning a single pipe pile can take 90-120 seconds, making them unsuitable for fast-paced automated production. Utility Model Content

[0014] To more clearly describe the technical content of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0015] This utility model discloses a high-torque ratchet unloading device, comprising a base and rotary support 1, three ratchet teeth 2, a sleeve and ratchet assembly 4, a ratchet rotary disk 5, an unloading telescopic cylinder 6, a rotary cantilever 7, and a cantilever drive cylinder 8. The base and rotary support 1 rests on a nut. The ratchet teeth 2 are mounted on the ratchet rotary disk 5. The sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 meshes with the ratchet teeth 2. The front end of the unloading telescopic cylinder 6 is connected to the ratchet rotary disk 5. The rear end of the rotary cantilever 7 is connected to the rear end of the unloading telescopic cylinder 6 via a rotating shaft. The front end of the rotary cantilever has two welded rings, which are sleeved on the front and rear sides of the ratchet on the sleeve and ratchet assembly via bearings. The upper end of the cantilever drive cylinder 8 is connected to the rotary cantilever 7, and the bottom end of the cantilever drive cylinder 8 is fixed to the ground.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 includes a hexagonal sleeve and a ratchet, the hexagonal sleeve and the ratchet are integrated on a shaft, and three ratchet teeth 2 are evenly arranged on the outer ring of the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4, and the ratchet meshes with the ratchet teeth 2.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a ratchet rotary motor 9, a chain 10, and a sprocket 11. The chain 10 is sleeved over the sprocket 11, and the sprocket 11 is fixed to the end of the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 by a key pin and rotates synchronously with the ratchet 10. The ratchet rotary motor 9 is connected to the chain 10, and the ratchet rotary motor 9 drives the sprocket 11 to rotate through the chain 10.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes three telescopic pins 3, which correspond to three ratchet teeth 2 and are evenly distributed between the ratchet teeth 2 and the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4. The three telescopic pins 3 are all installed in three through holes on the ratchet rotary table 5. A compression spring is built into the through hole, and the compression spring provides the pressure for the telescopic pins to continuously press against the ratchet teeth, so that the ratchet and the ratchet teeth mesh.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sprocket 11 rotates synchronously with the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 and adjusts its angle. When the sleeve of the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 is aligned with the nut, the sleeve is fitted into the nut, and the cantilever drive cylinder 8 drives the rotating cantilever 7. The tensioning cylinder 6 extends, pushes the ratchet rotary disk 5, and drives the ratchet and hexagonal sleeve to rotate. The tensioning cylinder 6 retracts, driving the ratchet rotary disk 5 and the ratchet 2 to rotate.
[0020] This utility model relates to the fields of industrial automation and prestressed concrete pipe pile production, specifically involving the release process of prestressed concrete pipe piles. Releasing prestressed concrete pipe piles refers to loosening the fasteners anchored to the pipe mold, typically hexagonal nuts, during the production process, thereby releasing the prestressing tendons and allowing the concrete to acquire prestress. This process is commonly used for pre-tensioned prestressed concrete precast components. The specific steps include first tensioning the prestressed steel cage, and then, after the concrete reaches a certain strength, loosening these prestressing tendons to improve the concrete's load-bearing capacity and crack resistance, ensuring that the concrete product will not crack or deform due to external forces during use. The release operation involves first fitting a hydraulic wrench with a ratchet device or a hexagonal socket into the nut at the end of the pipe mold head, and then using hydraulic equipment to loosen the nut through the reciprocating action of the ratchet teeth, thus eliminating the prestress.
[0021] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, it can be divided into multiple parts, which can realize the alignment of the hexagonal sleeve and the nut, the extension and retraction of the oil cylinder to drive the ratchet and ratchet teeth to rotate, the sleeve and the ratchet to rotate synchronously, and finally loosen the nut.
[0022] This device includes a base and slewing support 1, three ratchet teeth 2, three telescopic pins 3, a sleeve and ratchet assembly 4, a ratchet slewing disc 5, a tensioning telescopic cylinder 6, a slewing cantilever 7, a cantilever drive cylinder 8, a ratchet slewing motor 9, a chain 10, a sprocket 11, and a torque-reversing stop 12.
[0023] The sequence is as follows: the device applies external force to the base and slewing support 1, causing the device to rest against the nut waiting to be released. The sleeve of the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 adheres to the nut and has a certain compressive force. Then, the ratchet slewing motor 9 drives the sprocket 11 to rotate through the chain 10. The sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 rotate synchronously to adjust the angle. When the hexagonal sleeve of the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 is aligned with the nut, the sleeve of the sleeve and ratchet assembly 4 can be inserted into the nut due to the compressive force. Subsequently, the cantilever drive cylinder 8 drives the slewing cantilever 7, so that the anti-torque stop block 12 engages with the anti-torque shim on the concrete pipe mold to provide a reaction force. Then, the release telescopic cylinder 6 extends, pushing the ratchet slewing disc 5 to drive the ratchet and hexagonal sleeve to rotate, loosening the nut. Finally, the release telescopic cylinder 6 retracts, driving the ratchet slewing disc 5 and the three ratchet teeth 2 to rotate. The telescopic pin 3 ensures the engagement of the ratchet teeth and ratchet through the elastic force. Under normal circumstances, repeating this process three times will cause the device to rotate the nut 180°, extend and retract the tension cylinder once, and rotate the sleeve and ratchet 60°, thereby releasing the prestress of the steel bars inside the pipe pile. After the nut is loosened, the tightening torque of the pipe mold decreases sharply. At this time, the ratchet rotary motor 9 and the chain 10 and sprocket 11 can replace the tension cylinder 6 to quickly loosen the nut again.
[0024] This high-torque ratchet tensioning device integrates a hexagonal sleeve and a ratchet on the same shaft. Three ratchet teeth are evenly arranged on the outer ring, and a large-diameter hydraulic cylinder drives it. A single extension or retraction of the cylinder drives the ratchet and sleeve, loosening the nut by 60° in just 8 seconds. Under normal circumstances, three extensions or retractions of the tensioning cylinder are sufficient to loosen the nut of one pipe mold, meaning the total time for tensioning one pipe pile is less than half a minute. This ratchet mechanism offers high torque and speed, making it suitable for most pipe mold tensioning applications. When used in automated equipment, this mechanism reduces manual labor.
[0025] For the specific implementation scheme of this embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0026] It is understood that the same or similar parts in the above embodiments can be referred to each other, and the contents not described in detail in some embodiments can be referred to the same or similar contents in other embodiments.

Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means at least two.

[0029] This invention employs a high-torque ratchet tensioning device. By integrating the hexagonal sleeve and ratchet onto the same shaft, the structure is simplified. Simultaneously, the outer ring engages with the ratchet through three ratchet teeth, increasing the torque the device can withstand.
