Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preforming strands, and more specifically to a method for pre-bending and forming strands. Background Technology

[0002] Suspension bridges have numerous advantages in terms of structural form, span capacity, and construction methods, and are widely used in the construction of large and medium-span bridges spanning rivers, seas, and canyons. However, with the further development of my country's transportation infrastructure, conventional suspension bridge designs are finding it increasingly difficult to adapt to more complex and unique terrain, geology, and construction conditions. Against this backdrop, new suspension bridge structural forms, such as the slewing cable suspension bridge, have emerged.

[0003] A slewing cable refers to a main cable arrangement where the main cable originates from an anchorage on one bank, passes around an anchorage on the opposite bank, and then returns and anchors back to the originating anchorage. The main cable strands pass continuously at the slewing anchorage, and the strands are slewing anchored using a slewing cable saddle system. This replaces the traditional discontinuous and dispersed anchoring method used in suspension bridges, fully utilizing the self-balancing characteristics of the main cable under constant load and optimizing the suspension bridge's anchorage structure and anchorage structure. The slewing cable erection structure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0004] The main features of the slewing cable and restraint system are: 1) The slewing side strands are continuous and compact, which can significantly reduce the requirements for the anchorage structure size compared with the traditional main cable's spread anchorage; 2) The slewing cable has two-plane turning in both vertical and horizontal planes. Compared with the traditional main cable strands, the strand and wire arrangement must meet the requirements of bidirectional turning in both vertical and horizontal planes.

[0005] like Figure 2 The diagram shows one method of main cable rotation.

[0006] like Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the slewing saddle.

[0007] like Figure 4 As shown Figure 3 The BB cross-sectional view of the structure shown illustrates the arrangement of the main cable wires within the slewing saddle.

[0008] In the above-mentioned turning maneuvers, for the cable strands in the vertical plane, the turning of the main cable saddle at the tower end and the anchorage section cable saddle cancels out the change in wire length within the cable strand caused by the sag of the main cable strand. However, for the turning maneuvers in the horizontal plane, this will lead to a significant difference in the wire length within the traditional cable strand, resulting in uneven stress on the main cable strand. Therefore, for the slewing cable strand, it is necessary to simulate the structure of the slewing cable saddle and pre-form it in the factory to ensure uniform stress on the main cable strand after installation. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The present application provides a strand pre-bending forming method for the bending of the strand of a rotating cable at a rotating cable saddle, which pre-bends the strand at the bending section of the rotating cable saddle to reduce or avoid the uneven stress of the pre-formed main cable strand.

[0010] The present application adopts the technical solution of a strand pre-bending forming method for simulating a rotating cable saddle, which comprises,

[0074]

[0075] (3) Marking of the rotating cable strand

[0076] Before the pre-forming of the rotating cable strand in the bending section of the rotating cable saddle, according to the length difference above, according to the marking points of the rotating cable saddle on the cable strand, marks are made on the upper layer of the cable strand wire (the outer layer of the rotating cable saddle) and the lower layer of the cable strand wire (the inner layer of the rotating cable saddle) at the starting point (the entry point of the corresponding rotating cable saddle) and the ending point (the exit point of the corresponding rotating cable saddle) of the pre-bending forming section of the rotating cable strand, which facilitates the inspection after pre-bending forming, as shown in Figure 6 .

[0077] (4) According to the bending arc length and the height of the bending arc length of the rotating cable saddle, the specifications of the pre-bending forming mold are determined, the pre-bending forming mold has an arc-shaped mold cavity for wire bending and shaping, the arc-shaped inner diameter R1 of the arc-shaped mold cavity is consistent with the arc-shaped inner diameter of the rotating cable saddle; the height H corresponding to the arc-shaped radius R1 of the arc-shaped mold cavity is consistent with the height corresponding to the arc-shaped inner diameter of the rotating cable saddle; the arc-shaped outer diameter R2 of the arc-shaped mold cavity satisfies: R2=R1+(1.1-1.5)h, h is the height of the inner cable strand in the inner and outer layer direction of the rotating cable saddle; the width of the arc-shaped mold cavity and the rotating cable saddle in the radial section is consistent, as shown in Figure 8 , 9 .

[0078] (5) The pre-bending forming device has the following parts:

[0079] ①The reference base plate 8 for determining the inner diameter R1 of the preformed circular arc segment, the height H and the length of the circular arc segment (inner arc length) is 10mm-20mm in thickness, the length of the reference base plate is not less than the straight line length between the start point and the end point of the bending segment of the rotating strand, and the width is not less than 2 times the cross-sectional width of the strand, so as to ensure that the reference base plate does not warp, deform or lose stability during use. The reference base plate 8 needs to be finished, and the flatness thereof should reach 0.5mm / 1000mm. The reference base plate is vertically placed on the ground.

[0080] ②The pre-bending forming die (the structure of the pre-bending forming die is shown in Figure 6 The inner cavity of the die needs to be machined, and the dimensional error of the machined cavity is not greater than 0.1mm. The die is composed of three to five circular arc segments with the same center and the same diameter, and the wall thickness is 30mm-100mm, so as to ensure a certain rigidity and provide sufficient constraint rigidity for the preforming of the strand. A certain gap is reserved between the circular arc segments of the pre-bending forming die, so as to facilitate the installation of the mounting clamp after forming. The start point and the end point of the pre-bending forming die are basically consistent with the start point and the end point of the rotating saddle.

[0081] ③A certain thickness of steel plate or rigid support is used to connect the pre-bending forming die and the reference base plate. The connecting plate or connecting support has a certain rigidity, and needs to ensure that the preforming circular arc device does not lose stability and does not deform during preforming operation. In the manufacturing process, the reference base plate and the connecting device are welded or bolted, the connecting device and the preforming die can be integrally machined or welded. After welding, the flatness of the base plate should reach 1mm / 1000mm.

[0082] (6) The preforming of the rotating strand includes preforming of the straight line segment and the preforming of the bending segment. The preforming process of the rotating strand is as follows: steel wire unwinding-forming-wrapping tape-marking-pulling-winding. The steel wires constituting the rotating strand are respectively unwound from the wire reels. For the preforming of the straight line segment, the steel wire bundle is shaped after the steel wire is unwound from the wire reel, and then the steel wire bundle is directly pulled to the winding reel and wound on the winding reel. As shown in Figures 10-11 When the steel wire is unwound to the preforming bending segment, the steel wire is pulled to the pre-bending forming die, and the wrapping tape on the steel wire bundle is removed at the same time. The steel wire is divided layer by layer according to the inner and outer layers in the rotating saddle, and the cross section of the steel wire bundle is combed to be consistent with the inner cavity size of the pre-bending forming die. Temporary fixation is performed at the front and rear ends of the steel wire bundle to maintain the current cross-sectional shape, as shown in Figures 14-16After the pre-bending section is shown, the pre-bending section is put into the cavity of the pre-bending forming die, the outer layer of the steel wire is tightly attached to the die, and the cross-sectional shape of the steel wire is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the steel wire at the rotating cable saddle; the bending extension trend of the steel wire in the cavity of the pre-bending forming die is consistent with the bending trend of the steel wire at the rotating cable saddle.

[0083] (7) The pre-bending section of the rotating cable is fixed by a clamp

[0084] The positions of the inner and outer layers of the steel wire in the pre-bending forming die are adjusted, so that the starting mark on the steel wire corresponds to the starting position of the pre-bending forming die, and the ending mark corresponds to the ending position of the pre-bending forming die; if the mark on the pre-bent steel wire is detected to be inconsistent with the design, the thin steel plate is cut into the layer of steel wire and the adjacent layer of steel wire, and the carding is performed again.

[0085] Then the pre-bending section of the rotating cable is fixed by a clamp, the clamps at the starting and ending positions are large-rigidity special clamps (clamp one) with a length of 100mm-200mm (the clamp structure is shown in Figure 21 、 22 ), and the bolts are tightened so that the steel wire cannot move freely, the middle section clamps are ordinary pre-forming clamps (clamp two) with a length of 30mm-80mm (the clamp structure is shown in Figure 23 、 24 ), and the distance between the clamps is 2m, as shown in Figure 18 . After being fixed, it is pulled forward and wound on the reel, as shown in Figures 12-13 , and then the processing of the pre-forming straight section of the rotating cable is continued.

[0086] In order to prevent the outer layer of the steel wire from moving, positioning isolation spacers can be arranged between the outermost 1-4 layers of the steel wire in the pre-bending section (the length of the spacer along the length direction of the cable is 50-80mm, and the width along the diameter direction of the cable is not less than the outer diameter of the cable), and the spacer is made of flexible material such as high-strength polyester fiber tape according to the design thickness, as shown in Figure 19 、 20 .

[0087] In the pre-bending forming section of the rotating cable, 3-8 layers of high-strength polyester fiber adhesive tape are wrapped around the band.

[0088] In addition to the above embodiments, the present application also includes other embodiments, and any technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
