Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bridge construction, and particularly relates to a main cable compacting machine for main cable strand erection construction and a using method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A self-anchored suspension bridge is a suspension bridge system that does not have a gravity-type ground anchor, but anchors the main cable at the end of the stiffening girder to bear the horizontal and vertical components of the main cable end. The construction of its cable system mainly includes: installation of the main cable saddle, installation of the cable dispersion saddle, construction of the main cable system, compacting of the main cable, construction of the suspension system, wire winding and painting, etc. In the process of implementing this application, the inventor found that there are at least the following problems in this technology. The main cable compacting is an important step in the erection of a self-anchored suspension bridge. The main cable compacting is generally divided into two parts: pre-compacting of the main cable and formal compacting of the main cable. The pre-compacting of the main cable is to pre-compact and fasten the hexagonal main cable through a steel strip, and then the formal compacting of the main cable is carried out by a compacting machine. The compacting machine mainly consists of a fastening device, a moving device, a hydraulic system, etc. The moving device moves the pressing body on the upper side of the compacting machine to the position where the main cable needs to be compacted, and then controls each fastening shoe to apply pressure synchronously through the hydraulic system to complete the compacting work of the main cable, so that the void ratio between the main cables meets the requirements. After the compacting is completed, the compacting machine is moved to the next compacting position through the moving device. In this process, after the main cable is compacted by using the main cable compacting machine, it is also necessary for the operator to tie the soft steel strip outside the compacted main cable and then fix it with a buckle. This operation requires personnel. Due to the relatively wide diameter of the main cable, the workload of the operator manually winding the soft steel strip is large, and it is not convenient to construct at a high place. Therefore, it will affect the working process of the main cable compacting.
