Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bridge rotation construction, in particular to a temporary tower top tension cable saddle device capable of quickly unloading prestressed material. Background Art

[0002] Bridge rotation construction technology is a relatively mature and widely applicable bridge construction technique, with horizontal rotation being the most widely used. Bridge rotation construction is widely used in bridges spanning deep valleys, rapids, difficult-to-install river channels, and overpasses. It minimizes impacts on traffic below the bridge, reduces lifting costs, and offers safety, reliability, and excellent integrity.

[0003] In the horizontal rotation construction method of a rotating bridge, a rotation scheme that sets up temporary cable towers on the top of the beam pier to form a "temporary cable-stayed bridge" is more convenient for maintaining the overall alignment of the bridge than the currently widely used double-cantilever rotation construction. In this construction method, temporary cable stays are symmetrically tensioned on the saddles at the top of the temporary cable towers. After construction is completed, the temporary cable stays need to be unloaded and removed. Therefore, after construction is completed, it is necessary to unanchor the cable saddles at the top of the temporary cable towers. This requires repeated mobilization of specialized equipment such as jacks and construction personnel, which prolongs the construction period and reduces construction efficiency. At the same time, the workload of high-altitude operations is large. The high-altitude hoisting and high-altitude welding operations at the top of the tower have a significant impact on the operational safety of the nearby railway, increasing construction risks and costs.

[0035] The tensioning structure includes tensioning bolts 3 passing through the lower parts of the two saddles 1 , and the temporary tensioning structure includes temporary inclined cables 101 passing through the upper parts of the ends of the two saddles 1 that are opposite and far away from each other.

[0036] A further optimization scheme is provided, in which the limiting structure includes a plurality of limiting bolt mounting holes 202 provided on the front and rear side walls of the limiting seat 2, and the plurality of limiting bolt mounting holes 202 are divided into two groups. The two groups of limiting bolt mounting holes 202 are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the limiting seat 2, and a plurality of limiting bolt through holes 104 are provided on the front and rear side walls at the opposite ends of the two saddles 1. The limiting bolt through holes 104 are arranged corresponding to the limiting bolt mounting holes 202, and limiting bolts 201 are passed through the limiting bolt through holes 104 and the limiting bolt mounting holes 202.
