Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a protective device and method suitable for a viscoelastic vibration damping frame of bridge cables, and is particularly suitable for the protection and vibration monitoring of viscoelastic vibration damping frames on multiple cables of long-span suspension bridges and mid- / underpass arch bridges, belonging to the field of bridge engineering management and monitoring. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern transportation, the main spans of bridges are constantly increasing. The Zhangjinggao Yangtze River Bridge, currently under construction, will have a main span of 2,300 meters, making it the world's longest suspension bridge upon completion. Its longest cable reaches 265 meters, far exceeding the cable length of existing suspension bridges. The bridge also has 372 cables exceeding 100 meters in length. As typical wind-sensitive structures, long cables, characterized by low frequency, light weight, low damping, and a high slenderness ratio, are increasingly susceptible to vibration problems under wind loads. The large cable lengths can easily cause cracking in the cable sleeves, leading to cable corrosion and shortening their service life. Excessive cable amplitude can also cause public panic. Therefore, the research and development of vibration suppression methods and devices for long cables has become a key area of ​​focus in the dynamic analysis of long-span bridges.

[0003] Given that slings are often arranged in a pinned or straddled configuration, with each suspension point typically consisting of two or four slings, the addition of vibration dampers between multiple slings has become the most common structural measure for reducing sling vibration on long-span bridges. These dampers increase the in-plane stiffness and vibration frequency of the slings, increasing their wind speed. They also convert large vibrations in long slings into smaller vibrations within the cable segments, effectively preventing the problem of multiple slings colliding. Based on the stiffness of their connectors, vibration dampers can be categorized as rigid or viscoelastic. Rigid slings typically use rigid steel plates for their connectors, while viscoelastic slings typically consist of elastic cables and high-damping materials. As sling lengths continue to increase, the vibration damping effect of rigid slings decreases. Consequently, numerous projects, such as the Nansha Second Bridge, have adopted viscoelastic slings for their superior vibration damping performance.

[0004] Because viscoelastic vibration damping mount connectors typically utilize elastic cables and high-damping materials, and rubber pads are inserted between the vibration damping mount clips and the slings to increase friction, the long-term service life of long-span bridges inevitably leads to aging or corrosion of rubber and viscoelastic connectors, which is exposed to solar radiation and rainwater, seriously affecting the performance of the viscoelastic vibration damping mount. Furthermore, the increased length of the slings makes it more difficult to monitor their service status. Therefore, a new method is urgently needed to effectively protect viscoelastic vibration damping mounts with long slings and monitor their vibration response. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inward" and "outward" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a particular component, respectively.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown in Figures 7 to 7, the protective device suitable for the viscoelastic vibration damping frame of the bridge cable described in the present invention includes a protective part and a testing part, the protective part includes a waterproof protective shell, a sheath 5, and a retractable canopy 6; the waterproof protective shell includes a shell split 4 and a permanent magnet 13, and a waterproof coating 9 is laid inside the shell split 4; the shell split 4 extends outward with an eaves, and a sheath 5 is provided outside the eaves of the two shell splits 4 on the same side, and the eaves are tightly engaged with the edges of the sheath 5; the shell split 4 and the retractable canopy 6 are connected by a protrusion 7 and a groove 8; the testing part includes a longitudinal bridge acceleration sensor 10, a transverse bridge acceleration sensor 11, and a solar panel 12.

[0050] like Figure 1 、 3As shown, the viscoelastic vibration damping frame includes clips 2, viscoelastic connectors 3, high-strength bolts 14, rubber pads 15, and a filling layer 16. The clips 2 consist of four pieces, each with an arc-shaped center and straight ends with bolt holes. High-strength bolts 14 pass through the bolt holes at each end of the upper and lower clips 2, wrapping the upper and lower plates around the outside of the sling. Rubber pads 15 are placed outside the high-strength bolts 14 between the clips 2. The clips 2 on both sides are connected by viscoelastic connectors 3, which are typically made of elastic cables and high-damping materials or other deformable structures.

[0051] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, in a protective device for a viscoelastic vibration damping frame for bridge cables according to the present invention, the waterproof protective shell comprises four components, arranged on both sides, inside and outside, outside the cable 1 and the viscoelastic vibration damping frame clip 2. The waterproof protective shell comprises a housing body 4 and a permanent magnet 13. The housing body 4 is longer than the viscoelastic vibration damping frame clip 2 along the cable 1. The housing body 4 has a semicircular groove defined by the diameter of the cable 1. The permanent magnet 13 is embedded in the outer edge of the housing body 4. The two housing bodies 4 on the same side are tightly fitted together through the adsorption of the permanent magnet 13, forming a circular hole that matches the diameter of the cable 1, preventing moisture from intruding into the housing through the cable. The eaves of the two housing bodies 4 on the same side are curved outward, their curvature matching the grooves of the protective shell 5. This ensures a tight fit between the eaves and the edge of the protective shell 5, further preventing infiltration of rainwater and other inflows. At the same time, a waterproof coating 9 is laid on the inner surface of the shell body 4. The waterproof coating 9 is made of high-performance water-absorbing materials such as water-absorbing resin, and can absorb a small amount of moisture that penetrates into the interior of the shell.

[0052] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 7, a retractable canopy 6 is disposed between the housing segments 4 on either side. A protrusion 7 is provided on the side edges of the housing segments 4, and grooves 8 are provided on the side edges of the retractable canopy 6. The protrusions 7 and grooves 8 correspond to each other and are intermittently disposed. The retractable canopy 6 is made of a waterproof material such as leather and has the ability to longitudinally expand and contract, adaptively stretching or compressing according to the relative positions of the housing segments 4 on either side.

[0053] like Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the test section includes a longitudinal bridge acceleration sensor 10, a transverse bridge acceleration sensor 11, and a solar panel 12. There are two groups of acceleration sensors, each group including one longitudinal bridge acceleration sensor 10 and one transverse bridge acceleration sensor 11. The sensors in the same group are fixed to the inner sides of the two shell parts 4 on the same side by bolts or other means, located between the shell parts 4 and the sling 1, to ensure the synchronous movement of the acceleration sensors, the shell, and the sling at the vibration damping frame, thereby collecting the vibration responses of the vibration damping frame and the sling in the longitudinal and transverse bridge directions. There are four solar panels 12, respectively embedded in the outer surfaces of the four shell parts 4. The solar panels 12 convert external solar radiation energy into electrical energy to power the internal longitudinal bridge acceleration sensors 10 and transverse bridge acceleration sensors 11.

[0054] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, this structure should be installed between adjacent cables under the same suspension point of a long-span suspension bridge / arch bridge. Several structures of this structure can be arranged according to the position of the vibration damping frame, so that the vibration response of multiple measuring points of the cable can be obtained in a more detailed manner. l Take the double-strand sling as an example, arrange it from bottom to top n protective devices, with heights of z 1. z 2. ... z n , the vibration response of the left sling at the measuring point height can be obtained respectively a l ( x 1, y 1) a l ( x 2, y 2) ... a l ( x n , y n ) and the vibration response of the right sling a r ( x 1, y 1) a r ( x 2, y 2) ... a r ( x n , y n ),in, x, y Represent the transverse and longitudinal directions of the bridge respectively. Further, by selecting appropriate interpolation functions, the vibration response function of the sling can be established. f l( x , y , z ), f r ( x , y , z ),satisfy:

[0055] ;

[0056] .

[0057] Based on the above-mentioned viscoelastic vibration damping frame protection device, the present invention can realize the protection of the viscoelastic vibration damping frame of the long suspension cable of the large-span bridge, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 1: Pass the vibration damping frame viscoelastic connector 3 through the telescopic canopy 6 and connect it to the vibration damping frame clip 2;

[0059] Step 2: Fix the vibration damping frame clip 2 to the outside of the sling 1 through high-strength bolts 14;

[0060] Step 3: Mount and fix the solar panel 12 on the outside of the vibration damping frame protective shell body 4;

[0061] Step 4: Fix the longitudinal bridge acceleration sensor 10 and the transverse bridge acceleration sensor 11 inside the housing body 4, check the energy supply of the solar panel 12, and set the acceleration sensor data acquisition parameters;

[0062] Step 5: Install the housing parts 4 on the outside of the vibration damping frame according to the position of the groove corresponding to the sling 1, ensuring that there is one longitudinal bridge acceleration sensor 10 and one transverse bridge acceleration sensor 11 on each of the two housing parts 4 on the same sling 1 side;

[0063] Step 6: Connect the two shell parts 4 on the same side through the permanent magnets 13 embedded in the edges, and install the sheath 5;

[0064] Step 7: Insert the protrusions 7 on the sides of the shell body 4 into the grooves 8 on the side edges of the telescopic tent 6, and fill the interface with waterproof coating;

[0065] Step 8: Check whether the protective part has water leakage and whether the test part collects vibration signals normally; if there is any abnormality, check and repair according to steps 5 to 7.

[0066] In addition, during use, the present invention performs spectrum and time-spectrum analysis on the data collected by the acceleration sensor to obtain the energy distribution characteristics of the vibration signals of the left and right slings in the frequency domain; the data collected by the acceleration sensor is filtered and a displacement distribution model of the sling is established through an integration method to identify the vibration form of the sling and analyze the cause, so as to facilitate the adoption of emergency and maintenance measures; the vibration forms of the sling include buffeting, vortex vibration and parametric vibration.

[0067] The following aspects should also be noted in this implementation:

[0068] 1. To ensure the sealing effect between the shell and the sling, the diameter of the semicircular groove of the shell should be selected according to the diameter of the sling.

[0069] Second, considering that the protective device should achieve coordinated deformation with the viscoelastic vibration damping frame, the allowable deformation capacity of the telescopic tent should be slightly greater than the deformation capacity of the viscoelastic connector of the vibration damping frame.

[0070] As a preferred example, the retractable canopy in this example uses a continuous side design to ensure waterproofing. Therefore, the retractable canopy must be installed before the vibration damping frame. To enhance the convenience of the protective device, while ensuring the sealing performance of the interface, the retractable canopy can also adopt a discontinuous side design.

[0071] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements can still be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements should also be considered as the scope of protection of the present invention.
