Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field related to cable-stayed bridge construction, and in particular to a method for accurately installing a cable guide tube of a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge. Background Art

[0002] With the accelerated pace of high-speed railway construction, cable-stayed and suspension bridges are increasingly being used to cross major rivers. Cables, as load-distributing systems, have a direct impact on the safe operation of the structure due to their installation quality. Cable guides, crucial pre-embedded structures at the ends of beams, guide the cables through the beams and anchor them to the beams. Their installation angle and position directly influence the mechanical transmission of the cables and the loads on the beams, making them a crucial component of the pre-embedded cable-stayed bridge system. The research and implementation of methods for precise positioning and rapid installation of cable guides has addressed the challenges of high precision requirements, difficult spatial layout, and the significant impact of complex on-site working conditions in cable guide positioning and installation.

[0003] While several groups have summarized methods for cable conduit installation, most focus on solving the installation problem, with little research on improving installation accuracy and speed. If the layout is inaccurate, the force exerted on the cables can cause biased pressure on the conduit, impacting the overall load of the cables, beams, and towers. This can also lead to significant rework costs later on. Therefore, the precise and efficient installation of cable conduits directly impacts operational safety and corporate reputation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of current technology, the present invention combines existing technologies and, based on practical applications, provides a method for the precise installation of cable guide tubes for the main beam of a cable-stayed bridge. It innovatively introduces a three-point positioning method, first creating a predetermined elevation plane in the spatial structure, determining two coordinate points on the plane, and then determining the third point in space with the assistance of tooling, thereby greatly improving the layout accuracy.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for accurately installing a cable guide tube for a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1. Locate the hole position of the cable guide on the template and make a square notch at the corresponding position of the template;

[0008] S2. Weld the cable guide placement platform A on the template, measure and stake out the coordinate points 1 and 2 on both sides of the cable guide bottom anchor plate, and mark them;

[0009] S3. Manually cooperate with the tower crane to lift the cable guide so that the two corners of the cable guide bottom anchor plate coincide with the marks of coordinate point 1 and coordinate point 2;

[0010] S4. Install the axis centering tool C on the upper pipe opening of the cable guide tube. Use the total station and the axis centering tool to adjust the position of the upper pipe opening up and down to complete the alignment.

[0011] S5. Install the cable guide steel frame support, anchor the cable guide bottom anchor plate to the steel plate and press the template notch, and press the four corners with steel bar pressure nails;

[0012] S6. Re-measure the position of the cable guide to complete the installation.

[0013] Furthermore, step S1 specifically includes:

[0014] S11. Based on the design drawings, accurately lay out the perforation positions of the cable guide tube on the template;

[0015] S12. Based on the position and size of the bottom anchor plate of the cable guide tube, a square slot is opened at the corresponding position of the template. The size of the slot is 5 cm larger than the bottom anchor plate, and there is 2.5 cm of movable space on each side of the slot.

[0016] Further, step S2 specifically includes:

[0017] S21. Weld channel steel to the back rib of the formwork below the notch as cable guide placement platform A;

[0018] S22. Determine the lower edge elevation of the cable guide bottom anchor pad based on the layout data;

[0019] S23. Place a gasket B with a thickness of 5mm-2cm on platform A until the top elevation of gasket B is the same as the top elevation of platform A.

[0020] The lower edge elevations of the cable guide bottom anchor pads are consistent. At this time, the gasket B is fixed to the platform A by welding with angle steel.

[0021] Further, step S3 specifically includes:

[0022] S31. Manually cooperate with the tower crane to use the lifting belt to lift the rope guide;

[0023] S32, placing the cable guide tube on the gasket B of the platform A;

[0024] S33. Make the two corners of the cable guide bottom anchor plate coincide with the marks of coordinate point 1 and coordinate point 2.

[0025] Further, step S4 specifically includes:

[0026] S41. Orient the upper end of the cable guide tube roughly toward the tower column cable saddle for rough positioning.

[0027] S42. Install the axis centering tool C on the upper end of the cable guide tube and adjust the centering prism on the centering tool C to the center position.

[0028] S43. The total station sets out the center position of the upper pipe opening according to the calculation, providing a spatial line of sight with the crosshairs as the control line;

[0029] S44. Adjust the position of the upper tube opening up and down so that the crosshairs of the total station coincide with the centering prism of tooling C to complete the alignment.

[0030] Further, step S5 specifically includes:

[0031] S51. After the cable guide tube position meets the requirements, the tower crane lifting belt is not removed to maintain the position accuracy;

[0032] S52. Install a "door"-shaped bracket D at the bottom of the cable guide tube. The crossbeam of bracket D supports the cable guide tube. The bottom of bracket D is welded and fixed to the bottom plate reinforcement.

[0033] S53. Install a "door"-shaped bracket E on the upper part of the cable guide tube, covering the cable guide tube. The crossbeam of bracket E presses the cable guide tube. The lower part of bracket E is welded to the bottom plate steel bar.

[0034] S54. Use channel steel to make connecting beam F, clamp the cable guide and connect bracket D and bracket E;

[0035] S55. Anchor the cable guide bottom anchor plate with a steel plate to press the template slot, press the four corners with steel bar pressure nails, and weld the pressure nails to the bottom plate steel bar.

[0036] Further, step S6 specifically includes:

[0037] S61. Re-measure the elevation of the lower edge of the anchor pad at the bottom of the cable guide and coordinate points 1 and 2;

[0038] S62, re-measure the coordinates of the axis center point of the upper pipe opening of the cable guide tube;

[0039] S63. If there is an error between the re-measured data and the design data, continue to make adjustments. If the error with the design value is within the allowable range, remove the lifting belt and complete the positioning installation.

[0040] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0041] 1. This installation method innovatively introduces a three-point positioning method for thin-walled cylindrical structures. First, a predetermined elevation plane is created in the spatial structure, two coordinate points are determined on the plane, and then the third point in space is determined with the assistance of tooling, which greatly improves the layout accuracy.

[0042] 2. This installation method breaks the "point-to-point" mode in traditional layout. By adding tooling, the uncertain spatial coordinate points have a definite position. At the same time, the concept of rigid skeleton support is introduced, and the traditional support, pulling and pressing fixing method is changed. A more advanced "locking" installation and fixing method is adopted. Through the three steps of locking elevation, locking corner points and locking axis, each layer is fixed and each step is precise, which greatly speeds up the installation speed.

[0043] 3. This installation method is based on the actual situation of the project site. Except for special small tooling, other equipment, tools and materials used are all readily available materials on the construction site. At the same time, after summary and refinement, it is easy for technical personnel and installers to understand. According to on-site statistics, the installation of each cable conduit can be completed within 2 hours with an error of mm level, which greatly improves the installation accuracy and speed, and achieves good results in social and economic benefits.
