Description

[0002] In recent years, the photovoltaic industry has been booming, and flexible supports have also begun to emerge. Flexible supports mainly use steel strand tensioning load-bearing method, and have the characteristics of large span, small footprint, and strong adaptability.

[0003] Currently, the fixed ends of the steel strands used in flexible supports mainly rely on anchor clamps for fixation. Insufficient anchor clamping force often leads to slippage of the steel strands, or plastic elongation due to prolonged tension, causing prestress loss and relaxation. This inevitably results in significant swaying under strong winds, affecting the stability and safety of the flexible support. To address the issue of steel strand relaxation, fork-ear type steel strands have emerged on the market. These strands consist of two adjustable parts; by bringing these two adjustable parts closer together, the steel strands can be tensioned, increasing their preload.

[0004] In a fork-type steel strand, the two adjustable sections are pulled by the slack strand, making adjustment difficult. Two jacks are needed to simultaneously pull these two adjustable sections to counteract the pulling force of the slack strand. However, this method requires two jacks, resulting in a complex structure that is inconvenient to apply.

[0053] This invention discloses a tensioning device for fork-ear steel strands. It utilizes a single jack to pull a steering adjustment rope, bringing two adjustable sections of the fork-ear steel strand closer together. This facilitates user adjustment of the fork-ear steel strand to tension and increases its preload. Compared to existing designs using two jacks, its structure is simpler and easier for users to operate. This invention also discloses a tensioning method for fork-ear steel strands used in the aforementioned tensioning device, allowing users to adjust the tension of the fork-ear steel strands using a simpler method.

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Please see Figures 1-8 This invention provides a tensioning device for a fork-ear type steel strand, wherein the fork-ear type steel strand 10 includes a steel strand body 16, a first screw 14 fixedly connected to the steel strand body 16, a second screw 12 with fork ears 11 installed, and an adjusting sleeve 13 threadedly engaged with the first screw 14 and the second screw 12 respectively; the first screw 14, the second screw 12, and the adjusting sleeve 13 are coaxial. Clearly, in the fork-ear type steel strand 10, the first screw 14 and the steel strand body 16 are fixedly connected to form one part, and the second screw 12 and the fork ears 11 are fixedly connected to form another part. The two parts are connected by the adjusting sleeve 13, allowing the distance between the two parts to be adjustable.

[0056] The steel strand body 16 can be configured such that only one end is connected to the first screw 14, which can both adjust the tension of the steel strand body 16 and simplify the structure. The steel strand body 16 can also be configured such that both ends are connected to the first screw 14, and the first screw 14 at both ends is connected to the second screw 12 with fork lugs 11 through the adjusting sleeve 13. This embodiment does not limit the configuration.

[0057] The steel strand body 16 can be used not only in the field of flexible support for photovoltaic modules, but also in buildings such as bridges. In application, the fork lugs 11 are installed on the site foundation (such as end beams 20 or walls) via pins. Taking the fork lug type steel strand 10 used in the field of flexible support for photovoltaic modules as an example, during assembly, one end of the fork lug type steel strand 10 needs to be assembled onto an end beam 20 via pins. Then, using auxiliary tools (such as winches), the fork lugs 11 at the other end of the fork lug type steel strand 10 are pulled to another end beam 20, and then the fork lugs 11 at the other end are assembled using pins.

[0058] The tensioning device provided in this embodiment includes a first mounting component 107, a second mounting component 105, and an adjustment device. The first mounting component 107 and the second mounting component 105 are respectively fixedly connected to the two parts of the fork-type steel strand to be adjusted (i.e., one part formed by the fixed connection of the first screw 14 and the steel strand body 16, and the other part formed by the fixed connection of the second screw 12 and the fork 11). The adjustment device includes an adjustment rope 106 and a jack 102. The jack 102 is arranged at one end of the first mounting component 107 (specifically, the jack 102 is fixed to one end of the first mounting component 107). The first end of the adjustment rope 106 is connected to the other end of the first mounting component 107, and the adjustment rope 106 passes around the second mounting component 105. The second end of the adjustment rope 106 passes through the first mounting component 107 and is connected to the jack 102. The jack 102 is used to pull the second end of the adjustment rope 106 away from the first mounting component 107 to drive the first mounting component 107 closer to the second mounting component 105.

[0059] When using the above-mentioned tensioning equipment, jack 102 is turned on, jack 102 extends and drags the second end of the adjusting rope 106 away from the first mounting member 107. The distance from the first mounting member 107 to the second end of the adjusting rope 106 increases, while the total length of the adjusting rope 106 from the first end to the second end remains unchanged. This makes the rope length between the first mounting member 107 and the second mounting member 105 smaller, allowing the first mounting member 107 to move closer to the second mounting member 105. That is, jack 102 drives the first and second mounting members to drag the two adjustable parts of the fork-ear type steel strand 10 closer to each other, reducing the difficulty of turning the adjusting sleeve 13 which is threaded to the two adjustable parts, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the tension of the fork-ear type steel strand 10.

[0060] The aforementioned tensioning device utilizes only one jack 102 to pull the adjusting rope 106, which allows the two adjustable parts of the fork-shaped steel strand 10 to be brought closer together. This facilitates the user in adjusting the fork-shaped steel strand 10 to tension and increasing its preload. Compared to the existing technology that uses two jacks, this tensioning device has a simpler structure and is easier for users to operate.

[0061] Furthermore, the aforementioned tensioning equipment also includes a distance adjustment device 103, which is installed on the adjustment sleeve 13 and is used to screw the adjustment sleeve 13 when the jack 102 pulls the second end of the adjustment rope 106.

[0062] If the distance adjustment device can be set to a manual wrench operated by a person, then during operation, attention should be paid to matching the speed of turning the adjusting sleeve 13 with the speed of pulling the second end of the adjusting rope 106 by the jack 102.

[0063] Preferably, the distance adjustment device 103 is a smart wrench; the smart wrench is equipped with an infrared rangefinder 131 for measuring the moving distance of the first mounting member 107 (the "moving distance" refers to the dimension by which the first mounting member 107 moves relative to the smart wrench along the axial direction of the adjusting sleeve 13) and the moving speed (the "moving speed" refers to the speed at which the first mounting member 107 moves relative to the smart wrench along the axial direction of the adjusting sleeve 13); the distance adjustment device 103 can control the number of turns and speed of its own turning of the adjusting sleeve 13 according to the moving distance of the first mounting member 107.

[0064] The jack 102 is a hollow jack. The second end of the adjusting rope 106 passes through the through hole of the first mounting member and the jack 102 in sequence, and is then installed with the anchor 101. The jack 102 is sandwiched between the anchor 101 and the first mounting member 107. When it is necessary to tension the fork-type steel strand 10, the jack 102 is opened and becomes longer, with its two ends pressing against the first mounting member 107 and the anchor 101 respectively, so that the second end of the adjusting rope 106 moves away from the first mounting member 107.

[0065] The first end of the adjusting rope 106 can be fixed to the first mounting member 107, or it can be inserted through the insertion hole of the first mounting member 107. Correspondingly, the first end of the adjusting rope 106 is fixed with an anti-detachment anchor 108, which is located on the side of the first mounting member 107 away from the second mounting member 105.

[0066] like Figure 2 , 6 As shown, the first mounting component 107 includes two fixing pad parts 171. Each fixing pad part 171 includes a base plate 1713 and a mounting plate 1711 fixed to the base plate 1713. The base plates 1713 of the two fixing pad parts 171 are connected by fasteners and clamp and fix the steel strand body 16 and / or the first screw 14. The first end of the adjusting rope 106 is connected to the mounting plate 1711 of one fixing pad part 171, and the second end of the adjusting rope 106 passes through the through hole of the mounting plate 1711 of the other fixing pad part 171.

[0067] To improve reliability, the mounting pad 171 also includes a reinforcing plate 1712 that is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1711 and the base plate 1713 respectively.

[0068] Specifically, the first screw rod 14 of the fork-ear type steel strand 10 and the steel strand body 16 are fixedly connected through a compression joint 15; correspondingly, the bottom plates 1713 of the two split fixing pads 171 are preferably arranged to clamp and fix the above compression joint 15 to achieve a fixed connection with the first screw rod 14. Grooves for accommodating the compression joint 15 are respectively formed in the bottom plates 1713 of the two split fixing pads 171, and the shape of the grooves is adapted to the contour features of the compression joint 15. In addition, grooves for passing through the steel strand body 16 are respectively formed in the bottom plates 1713 of the two split fixing pads 171.

[0069] In the first mounting member 107 provided in this embodiment, the two split parts are in an up-and-down structure as shown in Figure 2 Shown, the two split parts can also be arranged in a left-and-right distribution structure, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0070] The adjusting rope 106 can be arranged to directly bypass the second mounting member 105. Correspondingly, the second mounting member 105 needs to be arranged to be smooth to reduce the sliding friction of the adjusting rope 106. Preferably, the second mounting member 105 is provided with a turning member, and the adjusting rope 106 bypasses the turning member and can smoothly move along the turning member.

[0071] The turning member can be arranged as a smooth guiding arc plate fixed to the second mounting member 105. The smooth guiding arc plate is in a "U" shape, and its opening faces the first mounting member 107, and the adjusting rope 106 is wound around the outer periphery of the smooth guiding arc plate. The turning member is preferably arranged as a fixed pulley 104 that can rotate around its own axis and is mounted on the second mounting member 105.

[0072] Such as Figure 2 、 5 、8, 9 shown, the second mounting member 105 includes two crossbeams 151 respectively fixed to the fork ear 11.

[0073] The crossbeam 151 is in a "channel" shape, and mounting flats 1511 are respectively provided at both ends thereof. The two crossbeams 151 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the fork ear 11; the fixed pulley 106 is assembled on the support 109, and the support 109 is fixed on the mounting flats 1511 of the two crossbeams 151. The support 109 of the fixed pulley can be fixed on the side of the mounting flat 1511 facing away from the first mounting member 107, as shown in Figure 2 Shown; the support 109 of the fixed pulley can also be fixed on the side of the mounting flat 1511 facing the first mounting member 107, as shown in Figure 8 、 9 、10 shown.

[0074] Specifically, in the above tensioning equipment, there are two fixed pulleys 104, and the two are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fork-ear type steel strand 10, as shown in Figure 2 、 8 Shown.

[0075] The adjusting rope 106 is a steel wire rope, which can be set to 2 or more strands according to the required force; the fixed pulley 104 is not limited to the two shown in the figure, and the corresponding number can be set according to the number of steel wire rope strands.

[0076] The tensioning device provided in this embodiment can complete the tensioning of the fork-shaped steel strand using a single jack 102, avoiding the use of multiple jacks 102. It is especially suitable for the field of flexible photovoltaic module supports where the fork-shaped steel strand 10 is installed at a high position, avoiding the need to lift multiple jacks 102 to a high position. This not only facilitates operation but also saves manpower and costs.

[0077] In addition, in the above-mentioned tensioning device, the adjusting rope 106 passes around the second mounting member 105, so that when the jack 102 pulls the second end of the adjusting rope 106, it provides driving force directly to the first mounting member 107, and also provides the same driving force to the first mounting member 107 through the first end of the adjusting rope 106. This ensures that the pulling force output by the jack 102 is only half of the design pulling force of the fork-type steel strand 10, which is sufficient to meet the requirements. This makes it easier to select a smaller size jack 102 and to use it conveniently.

[0078] Furthermore, the tensioning device provided in this embodiment is directly installed on the fork-shaped steel strand 10 without needing to be connected and fixed to other structures. As long as the specifications of the fork-shaped steel strand 10 remain unchanged, the tensioning device can continue to be applied to various construction scenarios, demonstrating strong versatility.

[0079] This invention provides a method for tensioning a fork-type steel strand, used in the tensioning equipment provided in the above embodiments, comprising:

[0080] S1. Assemble the tensioning equipment onto the fork-type steel strand 10 to be tensioned;

[0081] S2. Set the parameters of jack 102;

[0082] S3. Start jack 102 to perform tensioning work, and tighten the adjusting sleeve 13 of the fork-type steel strand 10 until the preset conditions are met. Simultaneously stop jack 102 and stop tightening adjusting sleeve 13.

[0083] In step S3, the adjusting sleeve 103 can be manually tightened using a hand wrench, preferably using the distance adjusting device 103 of the tensioning equipment to tighten the adjusting sleeve 13. The distance adjusting device 103 is a smart wrench. Before step S3, the process includes: S03, setting the distance adjusting device 103. This step S03 can be set after step S2, such as... Figure 11 As shown; or step S03 may be set between steps S1 and S2, but this embodiment does not limit it.

[0084] In the above tensioning method, step S2 includes: inputting the target prestress parameter and tensioning stroke parameter into the controller of jack 102; correspondingly, the preset condition in step S3 includes: the pressure inside jack 102 is equal to the target prestress parameter. Specifically, jack 102 has a built-in pressure sensor. The target prestress parameter value is input into the controller of jack 102. If the target prestress value is reached after jack 102 is started, the pressure sensor will respond, and the controller will control jack 102 to stop working.

[0085] When performing step S3, the jack 102 is controlled by the controller. If the stroke of the jack 102 is less than the above-mentioned tensioning stroke parameter, the controller will break down the target prestress parameter and the tensioning stroke parameter, and control the jack 102 to complete the tensioning work in a progressive manner in step S3. If the jack stroke is not less than the above-mentioned tensioning stroke parameter, the controller will control the jack 102 to complete the tensioning work in one go in step S3.

[0086] Step S03 includes: initializing the distance adjustment device 103 (i.e., clearing and updating the data of the distance adjustment device 103 so that the infrared rangefinder 131 can automatically capture the distance in real time in subsequent step S3), and inputting the internal thread pitch parameter of the adjustment sleeve 13.

[0087] Correspondingly, step S3, “tightening the adjusting sleeve of the fork-type steel strand” includes: the infrared ranging instrument 131 of the distance adjusting device 103 measures the moving distance of the first mounting part 107 relative to the distance adjusting device 103; the distance adjusting device 103 adjusts the number of rotations and the rotation speed of the adjusting sleeve 13 according to the measurement result and the internal thread pitch parameter of the adjusting sleeve 13.

[0088] Specifically, the infrared rangefinder 131 of the distance adjustment device 103 measures the moving distance ∆L of the first mounting member 107 (i.e., the distance the first mounting member 107 moves along the axial direction of the adjusting sleeve 13 towards the distance adjustment device 103). The intelligent distance adjustment device 103 calculates the rotational speed and number of rotations of the adjusting sleeve 13 according to the following formula, and tightens the adjusting sleeve 13 according to the calculation results:

[0089] ∆L=V 实速 *T

[0090] ∆L=P 螺距 *R 转数

[0091] n = R 转数 / T

[0092] Among them, V 实速 The moving speed of the first mounting component 107 relative to the distance adjustment device 103;

[0093] T represents the start-up time of jack 102;

[0094] P 螺距 To adjust the pitch of the internal thread in sleeve 13;

[0095] R 转数 To adjust the number of rotations of sleeve 13 (i.e., to adjust the number of rotations of sleeve 13 within time T).

[0096] n is the rotational speed of the adjusting sleeve 13 (i.e., the number of rotations of the adjusting sleeve 13 per unit time).

[0097] In the above tensioning method, assembling the tensioning equipment onto the fork-type steel strand 10 to be tensioned includes:

[0098] The first mounting component 107 is fixedly connected to one of the two parts of the fork-type steel strand whose distance is to be adjusted (specifically, the first mounting component 107 is fixedly connected to the crimp connector 105); the second mounting component 105 is fixedly connected to the other part of the two parts of the fork-type steel strand whose distance is to be adjusted (specifically, the second mounting component 105 is fixedly connected to the fork 11); the first end of the adjusting rope 106 is set on the first mounting component 107, the second end of the adjusting rope 106 is passed through the through hole of the first mounting component 107 and the jack 102 and the anchor 101 of the tensioning equipment is installed, and at the same time the adjusting rope 106 is made to pass around the second mounting component 105 (specifically, pass around the turning part of the second mounting component 105).

[0099] In the scheme of intelligently rotating the adjusting sleeve 13 using the distance adjusting device 103 in step S3, the step S1 of "assembling the tensioning device onto the fork-shaped steel strand 10 to be tensioned" also includes fixing the distance adjusting device 103 to the adjusting sleeve 13.

[0100] The jack 102 is hydraulically driven and connected to a hydraulic system, which is controlled by a controller. After the hydraulic pump of the hydraulic system is started, the jack 102 begins tensioning. The controller controls the hydraulic oil flow rate (i.e., controls the speed of the hydraulic pump) according to the tensioning speed parameters input by the user. When the jack 102 is tensioned to the target prestress parameters input by the user, the controller controls the hydraulic pump to stop working automatically. At this time, the first installation component 107 stops moving, the detection result of the infrared rangefinder 131 remains unchanged, and the distance adjustment device 103 stops turning the adjusting sleeve 13.

[0101] Preferably, in the above tensioning method, after step S3, the method further includes: S4 using a rope force gauge to verify the tension of the fork-type steel strand 10. If the tension value is qualified, the tensioning ends; if the tension value is not qualified, the process returns to step S2.

[0102] The tensioning method provided in this embodiment is used with the tensioning equipment provided in the above embodiments, making it convenient for users to use a simpler tensioning equipment to tighten the adjusting sleeve 13 of the fork-shaped steel strand 10. In this tensioning method, intelligent tensioning of the fork-shaped steel strand 10 can be achieved by setting the jack 102 and the distance adjustment device 103. The tension and feed stroke can be obtained in real time through the display screen of the distance adjustment device 103, making it convenient to use.

[0103] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
