AI Technical Summary
When the slope of the main cable increases, the sliding force of the existing suspension bridge cable clamps increases, resulting in excessively long cable clamps that affect the main cable alignment. Furthermore, the preload of the high-strength bolts is uneven, which fails to fully utilize their anti-slip performance.
The continuous anti-slip structure is adopted. Two cable clamps are symmetrically set on the main cable, and an anti-slip cable and a vibration-damping elastic connector are set between them. The tension of the cable is used to counteract the downward force of the cable clamp, reduce the number of high-strength bolts, and adjust the length of the cable clamp and the anti-slip performance.
It improves the anti-slip performance of the cable clamp, reduces the impact of the cable clamp length on the main cable alignment, simplifies the manufacturing and installation process, and reduces the uneven preload on the main cable.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field, in particular to a communication type anti-sliding structure and installation method suitable for a cable clamp of a suspension bridge. BACKGROUND
[0002] The slope of the main cable of the suspension bridge gradually increases near the tower position, and the cable clamp sliding force gradually increases due to the suspender. The conventional method is to increase the number of high-strength bolts of the cable clamp to increase the total pre-tightening force, so as to meet the anti-sliding requirements of the cable clamp.
[0003] However, as the slope of the main cable increases, the cable clamp sliding force will gradually increase, and the length of the cable clamp designed by the above method will be large, which will have a certain impact on the main cable line shape. Moreover, when the number of high-strength bolts is large, the pre-tightening force of the bolts will have certain unevenness, which is not conducive to fully exerting the anti-sliding performance of the cable clamp.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the contradiction between the length of the cable clamp and the slope of the main cable has become a technical problem that technicians in the field need to solve urgently. SUMMARY

[0012] A plurality of zinc block filling portions are arranged at the opening of the cable bearing groove, corresponding to the position directly above the main cable and the position below the plurality of saddle wall pull rods, and a curved sheath corresponding to the extension track of the main cable is arranged.
[0013] The curved sheath has a groove structure with an opening at the top, and the inner cavity contains the cable body of the anti-slip cable.
[0014] In some embodiments, each of the cable clamps is provided with an anti-slip zipper lug on the portion above the corresponding main cable;
[0015] Each of the aforementioned anti-slip zipper lugs is hinged to the corresponding end of the anti-slip cable via a pin.
[0016] In some embodiments, each of the cable clamps is provided with a suspender lug on the portion located below the corresponding main cable;
[0017] Each of the aforementioned boom lugs is connected to the corresponding boom;
[0018] Each of the aforementioned cable clamps includes an upper clamp half and a lower clamp half;
[0019] Each of the cable clamp upper half and the corresponding cable clamp lower half has a strip-shaped groove structure, and each of the opposite sides has a through groove with a semi-circular cross-section. The main cable is secured by splicing the two through grooves above and below the corresponding main cable.
[0020] Each of the upper and lower halves of the cable clamp is provided with multiple high-strength bolts at positions on both sides of the main cable, and the main cable is clamped between them by tightening the multiple high-strength bolts.
[0021] In some embodiments, the upper half of each cable clamp and the corresponding anti-slip zipper lug, as well as the lower half of each cable clamp and the corresponding boom lug, are all integrally cast from cast steel.
[0022] In some embodiments, the cable body is a multi-strand steel strand with an outer PE sheath;
[0023] The PE sheath is equipped with a shock absorber limiting ring.
[0024] In some embodiments, both ends of the cable body are connected to the connecting rod by anchors;
[0025] The other end of each of the aforementioned connecting rods is connected to the corresponding fork lug via a corresponding tension nut;
[0026] Each of the fork lugs is hinged to the corresponding anti-slip zipper lug via a pin.
[0027] In some embodiments, each of the vibration-damping resilient connectors includes two clamp structures that respectively match the main cable and the anti-slip cable;
[0028] Each of the two clamp structures of the vibration-damping elastic connector is connected by two half-side clamps, and each clamps the corresponding main cable or the corresponding anti-slip cable by setting clamp bolts.
[0029] In some embodiments, an elastic pad is provided between each of the clamp structures and the corresponding main cable or the corresponding anti-slip cable.
[0030] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the anti-slip cable is 0.5T×cosα / f t ;
[0031] Where T is the force borne by the boom;
[0032] α is the angle between the suspender and the main cable;
[0033] f t This is the design value for the tensile strength of the material of the anti-slip cable.
[0034] The present invention also provides an installation method for a connected anti-slip structure suitable for cable clamps of suspension bridges, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0035] Step 1: Hoist the main cable saddle to the top of the bridge tower. During the installation of the main cable saddle at the top of the tower, the main cable saddle is pushed to the required position by the reaction frame. Then, the main cable is installed in sequence, and the strands 33 of the main cable are regularly arranged in the cable receiving groove.
[0036] Step 2: Install each of the cable clamps in sequence, and connect the upper half of each cable clamp and the corresponding lower half of the cable clamp with multiple high-strength bolts to clamp the main cable.

[0038] Step 4: Pass the cable body through the cable receiving groove and place it inside the curved sheath. Connect both ends of the cable body to the corresponding cable clamps via pins.
[0039] Step 5: Adjust the tension nuts at both ends of the cable body to reduce the distance between the corresponding connecting rods and fork lugs, so that the cable body is in a taut state when the bridge is completed. The preload of the cable body is 0.1 times the cable force design value.
[0040] Step 6: Install all zinc blocks and all the saddle wall tie rods to secure the cable body in the cable tray;

[0042] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0043] The application of this invention can improve the anti-slip performance of the cable clamp. When the cable clamp slides down, the tension of the cable gradually increases, which can offset part of the downward force of the cable clamp until the force balance is reached, and then the cable clamp will no longer slide down.
[0044] This invention tensions the anti-slip cables in the completed bridge state, preemptively offsetting some of the downward force. This reduces the number of high-strength bolts in the cable clamps, effectively decreasing the clamp length and minimizing the impact on the main cable alignment. The cable clamps are cast steel components; reducing their size facilitates manufacturing, transportation, and installation.
[0045] This invention can adjust the anti-slip performance of the cable clamp by adjusting the anti-slip cable rules and initial tension. It has a simple structure and significant effect.
[0046] The following will further explain the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of the present invention. Attached Figure Description
