Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a stepless adjustable lever loading device, belonging to the technical field of adjustable loading in model testing. Background Technology
[0002] Transmission towers, as tall structures, are characterized by their height, light weight, low stiffness, and slender shape. Due to the inherent mass and stiffness distribution characteristics of the towers, lateral loads are, in most cases, the design control load. With increasing distances from shore and water depths at offshore transmission tower sites, multi-pile foundations are becoming the preferred choice for more and more offshore transmission towers. Multi-pile foundations offer high overall structural stiffness and are less susceptible to environmental loads such as waves and currents, making them suitable for deep water areas. Offshore transmission tower structures are subjected to the interaction of environmental loads such as wind, waves, and currents, all of which are significant factors leading to their failure. Therefore, studying the horizontal load characteristics of multi-pile foundations and establishing reasonable and practical analysis methods for them is of great theoretical and practical significance for improving the design level of offshore transmission tower foundations and extending their service life. To compensate for the limitations of theoretical analysis, for important projects, it is necessary to combine indoor model tests to simulate the long-term horizontal cyclic loads on multi-pile foundations for analysis.
[0003] However, current model research still has the problem of excessive loading tonnage of the loading device during model tests. The traditional adjustment method still uses different adjustment holes to fix the lever loading device for adjustment, which has problems such as insufficient accuracy. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the accuracy of the test and the accuracy of the conclusions. Summary of the Invention

The loading device is arranged horizontally, with both ends fixed to a base plate. The base plate is fixedly connected to a slider in the adjusting device. The adjusting device includes a slide rail, which is fixedly installed on a reaction wall and the side wall of the vertically arranged loading beam. One end of the horizontally arranged force transmission beam is fixedly connected to the other side of the loading beam, and the bottom of the loading beam is fixed to the foundation by a fixing seat. The other end of the force transmission beam is fixedly connected to a multi-pile foundation, which is set in the model box. The model box is fixed to the foundation by high-strength bolts.

The driving wheel is installed in the concave part of the "C" shape, and the speed regulator is installed in the convex part of the "C" shape.

[0024] Furthermore, the multi-pile foundation 12 is fixed in the model box 11 by filling the test soil body.
[0025] The working principle of the present invention:
[0026] In the present invention, first, a lifting machine such as a crane is used to hoist the model box 11 in place, and then the model box 11 is fixed to the foundation by high-strength bolts 13. After that, the multi-pile foundation 12 is hoisted into the model box 11 for positioning, and the test soil body is filled and fixed; then the loading beam 2 is installed.
